60 Minutes of Pure Paddling - Episode 2 - Algonquin Park Spring and Fall

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

I don't normally enjoy these "non-talking" videos, but this series is just great! Thanks for sharing!

[@richardreedy117]

That's better than meditation! Really enjoyed the White Throated Sparrow near the beginning. We have them here in Virginia, but we rarely hear them. This takes me to our camp in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Thanks!!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

One of the best things about making these films is that I'm learning about birds and their calls!

[@wendysalter]

This is exquisite. The photography of Nature in all her glory and the precious animals is just heavenly. I watch a little before going to sleep... thank you.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Avia

In these uncertain times, in this age of social isolation and shelter in place, Tumblehome once again sets us free!

[@michaelpickford4294]

Thank you so much Jason for taking us along as your silent paddling partner. You’re composition and framing of shots is masterful and those autumnal colours reflected on still water is just eye wateringly beautiful. These latest two films really capture the essence of a solo trip. Paddle at your own pace and having the luxury of stopping and listening to the world. Just stunning! I was chilling out in the bath this evening watching this for the second time whilst my wife was reading next door in bed. She started freaking out as she thought there was something weird creeping around outside, but it was the loons calling on your film!😆 They confuse the hell out of my dog if he’s in earshot too! Stay safe and thanks for keeping paddling in our souls during lockdown.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Michael! My cat has been getting frisky as I'm cutting a vid together from a spring trip a few years back and its full of birdsong.

[@Selkian]

I have been slowly watching through you video trips. A keen lifetime paddler myself. I have so far, focused on stills. I am just getting into a GoPro 5 that I have had for a while. Your videos are an inspiration on several levels. Keep up the great work. You should be earning a living at this 🙏

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you kindly. I'm glad you find them an inspiration!

[@LostInTheWildCanada]

I LOVE your content so much. You have inspired me to take up Canoeing and Camping...

[@tombeckett4340]

Wow you nailed it again Jay. Thanks 👍🇨🇦

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Tom.

[@tombeckett4340]

Another great blog thanks.

[@clarkpeters8273]

Years ago I downloaded "Sunbeam Dreams and the Carolyn Jane" from Vimeo. It lives on a thumb drive that goes everywhere with me. Whenever I need a canoe country fix I pop it into whatever device is handy. Thanks for posting this.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Perfect!

[@milanf6926]

I try to ignore paddling videos till about 2-4 weeks away from ice out. Sooo fired up to go!! C’mon springtime!

[@vicki4801]

Gorgeous. Pure bliss. Thank you for creating and sharing this. It really slowed me down, brought stillness and peace to me...almost like being there does. Almost. So many times while watching I thought, "oh I'll have to comment on/compliment that amazing scene" but then there's be another and another and another... Thank you

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you Vicki!

[@danpayne380]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Very!

[@WanderingEyeOutdoorAdventures]

Another masterpiece. Thank you.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you!

[@brianj9635]

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

I appreciate that!

[@paddlehooked4687]

Enjoyed every stroke.

[@jefft9663]

Thank you Jason. ..... we all needed this!! So relaxing and gives us something to look forward to :). Happy face

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ianlindsey7355]

THX for the video can’t wait to go.

[@ActuallyAndrewFishing]

Absolutely loving your vids - new friend to your channel. I am watching your solo booth lake trip on my big screen and going through other videos on my laptop... well done.

[@ActuallyAndrewFishing]

Loving the audio here - were you using an external mic?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

THanks!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

I try to use external mics when possible (or when I remember)

[@mikelyons3117]

Brilliant Jason , thanks for making me stay on the treadmill for a full hour today . Nice catch at 29 minutes

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@earlhayes2969]

What I wouldn't give for a Eighty Six inch Television to Watch this on Thanks Jason 👍🇺🇲🛶 Earl

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

:-)

[@mainetripper]

I plan on watching this tomorrow morning with my coffee! Looking forward to that!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Hope you enjoy (ed) it!

[@mainetripper]

Jason, I have to be honest. I didn’t get to watch this until today. You really had some amazing sunsets and quiet paddling in this one. Enjoyed it man! Thanks for sharing this. I needed a good dose of this.

[@Richans]

Awesome, dude, also this incredible elk footage!!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Moose! I have yet to experience Elk in the wild but that would be pretty cool.

[@Richans]

Oh, I thougt Moose and Elk is the same! So I wish ya good luck! :)

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

@@Richans I guess they are in a way the same... I did a little search and found this A stag is a male deer. The term stag can be applied to any adult male member of the deer family, although for some of the largest (such as moose and wapiti), the term ‘bull’ is used more often. A moose is Alces alces, the largest member of the deer family. This word is primarily used in North America. Now, the term elk is used for Alces alces, in Europe! But in North America, the word ‘elk’ is NOT used for Alces alces at all. Instead it’s used for the wapiti (Cervus canadensis). And this is why scientists use Latin names for animals. :-)

[@Richans]

Thanks a lot, mate! Yes, that makes sence! :)

[@gordnoland9797]

Thanks now more than ever!!!

[@briandepoppe7209]

Beautiful! Nice canoe

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you very much!

[@michaelwolf8781]

I am ready for that!

[@kentrotchy6546]

Nice! I hope to get out and live these experiences yet this spring.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

I hope so too!

[@radillac7]

thanks for posting. unreal.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you!

[@mackhughson3722]

Just what the people needed!

[@Okikor1]

If anyone gives a thumbs down on this video is suicidal. Good job!

[@davesinclair4650]

Thank you

[@bigdaddytreevo4120]

I had the week of May 17 to 23 booked on the Nipissing river. So sad, I'm gonna miss so many good Brookies.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Yeah crazy times! The fish will probably be stronger with a spring of no fishing pressure :-)

[@chriskrofchak]

This is great!! This is very much 'ASMR' / a niche for people who like listening to nature/water sounds for its calming effect. I bet if you labelled the video like that ("ASMR 1 Hour of Paddling and Water Noises" etc) you may get a lot of viewers who are looking for that kind of thing!!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thats a good idea!

[@TheFleetcaptain210]

Thank you so much for putting this together. It is a stress reliever. At night as I am going to sleep I turn up the sound and listen. Who needs meditation. A question...what lake were you on at minute 2020?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

That is Tom Thomson.... at 20:20 I'm just cruising past the large point site that is on the far north end of the lake. One of my fav sites but dont end up there often as its a busy lake most of the time.

[@TheFleetcaptain210]

@@JasonIrwinTumblehome Thanks...it looks great. I was hoping to get to Mcintosh this year...we'll see.

[@noroads3840]

Awesome

[@donpence7750]

Canoeing, a great way to social distance.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Indeed!

[@mattvaandering]

Muy bonita

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks!

[@twoponchos]

Amazing photography and sound recording. Where are you at 35:00?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

That is Grassy Bay... Part of the Big Trout loop (also went through there in September Solo) .... between White Trout Lake and McIntosh Lake.

[@twoponchos]

Tumblehome thank you!

[@CoveringWater]

You have amazing footage and sure know how to edit it together. I am wondering what settings you're using on your Gopro? And then which program are you using to make it pop like that? If you dont mind. Thanks! Keep your art coming.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks man! I'm using a Hero 6 for most of the footage but also use a DSLR sometimes (currently don't have a camera body but have used a 5Dmkii and 6Dmkii). I keep the GoPro in Linear mode to avoid the fisheye look. Lately I'm using Premiere Pro to edit (great program) but have used Avid in the past.

[@CoveringWater]

@@JasonIrwinTumblehome Awesome, thanks for the reply. Just started recording adventures last year and been playing with the footage during the pandemic, really enjoying it so I want to take it a little more serious this season. Even got my first real camera last week. Thanks again!

Psychoseumatic suggestion, much more relaxed now. Maybe I won't punch someone in the back of the head now.....oops. Need new vid from you please...hurry

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

working on one now!

[@antonylund241]

@@JasonIrwinTumblehome awesome my friend, I find your camera work is just magical. You capture moments in nature that I'm sure most people miss. So soothing for the soul. ( and you're a nut 😂 like me ) I've watched every one of your vids over n over. Need more. Stay safe
