Karma 2 - Electric Boogaloo - Tandem Canoe Trip / Algonquin Park / Spring 2018

[@ChrisProuse]

Awesome video - that was an absolute joy to watch from beginning to end! Really appreciate all the beautiful detail in your work, the humour, and the way you unfold a great story - so impressed by how you're able to draw the audience in, and completely forget about time. Sign of an exceptional storyteller 👍 Thanks for sharing! :)

[@dkatkins5849]

Chris, you and Jay are among the best editors on youtube :)

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Chris... means a lot from someone of your prowess.

[@LostLakes]

Exceptional as always. Your editing is in a class of its own. That canoe flip crop is pretty neat!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you... Really glad you appreciate the editing.

[@barbmcnaughton6119]

Wow...all I can say is wow...perfection...well worth the wait. You are a consummate story teller! Thank you.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you Barb!

[@philoutdoors4481]

Great video guys. Never easy to bring all the footage together like that. Definitely motivating many to get out into the outdoors. Something we all need these days.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Phil! Yes we all collectively could use a good dose of outdoor medicine.

[@christopherbishop6767]

Terrific film! Great sound mixing/editing. Very enjoyable.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks for listening!

[@Richans]

Wow, another great, lovely and funny adventure, and an awesome production, cheeers guys!! :)

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

thanks!

[@DrenalinAdventures]

Can't believe I just got around to watching. You have some talent my friend.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks man... I'm catching up myself and looking forward to your hunting vid.

[@matthewharris3672]

I am absolutely loving your videos and photos! Very inspiring!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Matthew. Great to hear that you find it inspirational!

[@jefft9663]

J man. First -- I would like to thank u tube for the notification thingy. And most of all you for putting these videos out. Joe b turned me on on to you and I must say you are the best.... from the scenes to the sounds. --- you capture the epic surroundings of the park. In 2015 I took the family in our travel trailer to mew lake and very much enjoyed it so much... I am so glad you are back. I now enjoy portaging the Adirondacks in NY because of you. I Now use wheels to move it from lake to lake.....Thank you. I really appreciate the time and effort of your videos.... from NY USA. Thanks! Jeff

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks a lot Jeff. Glad to hear you are out in the Adirondacks. I've been hiking a bit in that area as I have some extended fam there but never canoeing. Its on the list though!

[@LarryHyett]

I've been so looking forward to this and you did not disappoint! Looks like you guys had an amazing trip. Nice brookies!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Great to hear from you Larry. Thanks for the kind words. The fish were all Scotts doing as I am basically the worlds worst fisherman :-)

[@changeoflongitude]

Jason,Jason,Jason you are a true artist my friend. Never disappoint. I am an avid photographer who has never filmed in his life. The filmography in your videos has inspired me to dust off and break open the go-pro (a gift) from its box that's been sitting on the shelf for the last 6 months. You have a true talent. Thank you for sharing it with us. Take care and all the best in the New Year.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Great! Thanks for the kind words. The ol GoPro's are pretty slick. They surely have their limitations but they do some things really well. The latest one has some amazing stabilization.

[@GRSRiverrider]

Great music choices as usual. Nice long video; enjoyed it!.. Loved that flyby.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you!

[@brianlepoidevin6217]

Loved the shots from Lake Louisa. Great work.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Brian. Louisa sure is a pretty lake... wish I'd had more time to explore.

[@adventureswithjosie]

Finally got around to watching this video! I think I have watched all of your videos now lol! Excellent as always Jason!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Awesome! Thanks Josie

[@vicki4801]

Stunning. Your choice of music adds so much to the feeling of your shots. It brings me right to the peace of that place. It feels 'almost' as good as being there, and makes me dream of ice-out. Thanks for taking us along. I appreciate all the work this takes.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Vicki. Im glad you appreciate the time it takes.

[@tombeckett4340]

Nice trip thanks great job 🇨🇦👍

[@jamieporter6305]

Thanks Jay, that just made my week. I'll be watching that regularly while we wait for the ice to melt again.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Jamie!

[@gilligallou]

couldn't agree more with Chris,, great job, fun times. some great bird songs as well, clearly early spring, song sparrows, couple warblers and more. thank you ,, Bob,

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

So glad you appreciate the bird song in there! Thank you.

[@gilligallou]

Tumblehome thank you, it’s my gig, lol meant to ask? You mentionEd hearing owls, spring is great as they’re a early nester so often have young to look after by early May, was it Barred owls mostly or were you able to identify other species? 😊👍🇨🇦 thanks , Bob

[@NatureLapse22]

Beautiful trip and video. I can't tell you how much these videos help get me through the winter blahs. The ending had me laughing to tears! Thanks again Jay!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks Brad. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@ThePursuitofPassion]

Nice! Good memories from this route. I did this one many years ago when I invited a group of friends. There was talk of mutiny along the way. Lol

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

I can believe that!

[@mattp4749]

You've done it again Jason and Scott - great video always love the camera + edits and Scott's standup routine. We were the folks that recognized the Carolyn Jane at the Penn - Rock portage, you guys are as much fun in person as you are on the videos, thanks again for the great video and making us dream about spring camp trips already - Matt and Jenn

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Awesome. In hindsight I should have pulled out the camera and had you say hello but I don't like jamming it in peoples face :-) It was great meeting you and I'm glad you like the movie. Just as we pulled up to the start of the big 3k portage, another fella who had just finished it was looking at me funny. "Hey are you that guy on KZbin!.. OH MY GOD IT IS YOU!" :-) Well on that portage I never heard the end of the ribbing from Scott about how famous I am and how he's not worthy etc...

[@IamOutdoorsy]

Stunning as always! Thank you for letting us tag along.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you.

[@woodpecker066]

Fantastic video a pure joy to watch. Thank you

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks a bunch.

[@chrishuyge4848]

Amazing video. 👍

[@backcountrycustomcanoes2537]

Great video! One of my favourite spots in the park.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you. It would have been easier with a lighter boat ;-)

[@jeffgriffiths5945]

great vid Welcome Lake and Harry Lake are such a beautiful area in Algonquin.

[@davidcloutier6771]

Found this video by mention from Joe Robinet and glad I tuned in! Good work men! Great camera work as you captured some amazing picture perfect sights!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks David!

[@chadgroenhout5486]

Yyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaahhhhhhhooooooooooo! So excited for the new video! Thank you.

[@Ajourneyintobushcraft]

Absolutely brilliant once again Jason! Always love watching your films. Scott was awesome again too! I so want to come back to Canada for a paddle with you one day. All the best Danny

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Hi Danny. Thanks a bunch. Give me a heads up if you're coming to the hood and we'll try and make something happen.

[@jeffbackcountry5651]

Nice loop, those portages tho 😲filming, editing and photography 👌🏻thanks for sharing

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Yeah those portages left me with some issues that took a while to go away :-o but I won't put you off dinner with the details. :-)

[@LostLakes]

Was compelled to rewatch this (for probably the third time) after your show with Dennis. Just a quintessential masterpiece, what more can I say... Even more fun to watch after getting to know you and Scott a bit on Tues. Hope to run into you some day my friend.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks! Glad I didn't bore everyone to death as I thought I might.

[@davidgroomes404]

Really enjoyed your trip to the park You have a great talent and a love for the park I know exactly how u feel keep up the great shows enjoyed every minute thank you I'm retired now I spent 28 days in tamagami boat camping I have the same love for the wild take care I'm glad u are well

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks David. Wow 30 days in Temagami would be sublime... hope I'm able to do the same when I retire! Keep on rocking!

[@wdsracer]

David Groomes wow that is amazing you spent that much time there. Did you have to re supply?

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Nicely done as always!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks man!

[@scratchypants1]

We did Rock, Pen, Clyde May18 - 21st. No bugs but we got slammed with wind/rain. Beats a nice day at work any time, though.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

yeah... worst day out there is better than the best day at work

[@greghunter275]

1230-1248 nature’s canvas. Love your videography.

Thanks Greg!

[@paullylapri]

Subbed! Love your style and passion. Kudos from Chris, nice!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks so much Paul. Glad you enjoyed it. Should have some new stuff soon.

[@DaveMitchellOutdoorsyStuff]

Amazing as always Jason!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks bro!

[@beachcomberz]

Cant wait to watch this later today. Really wish you called it Karma Moose and the Brodemption Trout...

[@beachcomberz]

Awesome. Thanks again

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

That may very well work for the 3rd instalment! We kicked around a few funny ideas... some NSFW!

[@tombeckett4340]

Nice specks great trip.👍🇨🇦

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks for coming along!

[@canoetrippers5871]

Recognized you guys as well at that same spot heading to the Penn - Rock Portage we were just on our way out from doing the Louisa Welcome Loop CCW. It must have been the group ahead of us that said is that the Carolyn Jane since I don't think I sound like that... lol That would have been the Monday you headed in?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Yeah that must have been us!

[@leroystotts3725]

Love the Video !!!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thankyou.

[@christopherbishop6767]

Jason- any chance we'll see another Algonquin video in 2020? Great stuff.

[@jasonirwin2463]

Yes! Thanks for watching Christopher. I should have a new one out pretty soon. 7 day fall trip up into Big Trout... just finishing it up and should be out fairly soon.

[@brianve7jyd943]

another fine video - sure pleasure to watch - hate to sound like a broke record - but wud you mind lettin me know what PFD that you fellas are usin - thanks and take care

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Those PFD's are not avail anymore unfortunately. The are "Serratus" but the company is out of biz.

[@1974HondaCB350F]

Dude, I really don't get how you don't have more of a following. These videos are so well done! Thank you for taking the time to capture and edit this video, it's been really enjoyable for me. I hope to get up there sometime within the next couple of years! I have to finish my cedar strip canoe before I can take it anywhere haha. Also, have you ever thought about doing a video showing your camera setup? Maybe you already have, but I'm really curious to see that :)

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you Jake. Glad you liked it! Yes some folks have been asking for a camera set up vid so I'm thinking about it :-)

[@Freedom.z.z]

Excellent video, as usual. Inspiring. I was wondering what the music is you chose? It’s very cool too

[@Freedom.z.z]

Oh I see it there in the credits.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks William. I used to use APM music a fair bit but have started to make my own. I used to do electronic music eons ago as Watershell. Now I have some buddies who come over and noodle around with instruments while I record etc. I then take that material and basically run it through effects and build compositions in Pro Tools. I've noticed there are a few pretty good low cost stock music options out there now and I may start to take advantage of them.

[@Freedom.z.z]

Tumblehome I really enjoy the music in your videos in particular. Kudos to you and your buds my friend! Thanks for the reply.

[@mattparker9986]

What so you keep im ypur pfd? What so you do with is the biner and rope

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

In my PFD I carry a knife, whistle, small fire starting kit, waterproof flashlight, watch. The biner and rope are handy for safety, simple lining, tying up on a steep shore... also good in case of a dump / attaching throw rope to free up hands or whatever. On shore I use the biner for attaching food bags on the bear hang.

[@mattparker9986]

@@JasonIrwinTumblehome thank you. Sorry about the horrible sentence structure. Appreciate the response.

[@rebelwithano4890]

entertaining as usual, how did the 1 tigris work out?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

I'm very happy with the quilt so far. It's very light but adds significant warmth. I had it out on the Spanish River and it got down to -5 one night. My feet were freezing but my core was pretty good. It certainly seems good down to 0 ish depending on your sleeping bag etc.

[@DamianCampbell-z2r]

Hey. Where did you get the quilt for the bottom of your hammock? I've been using a Hennessey for about 20 years now I think, or close to it! Bubble pad is nice in my jungle edition but that looks amazing! great videos too!

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

It's a Onetigris or OneTigris... packs up small and gives decent additional warmth. I added clips that line up with the side pull outs on the hammock (and clips at top and tail of course). This keeps it pretty snug but not too tight. I used to use a Thermarest for years which is pretty good but I would always get a bit damp on my back due to sweat / no breathing. The quilt eliminates that.

[@dkatkins5849]

Great to see you back with another awesome video! Your editing skills are some of the best on KZbin. Do you even lift canoes bro? Scott without a beard, what is this madness?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you. Yes, Scott is a chameleon of sorts with the hair program!

[@jccapwell]

Another great video. Glad to see you, Carolyn Jane and Scott in the backcountry. I enjoy your cinematography and images. Do you carry a fair number of extra batteries?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks ! Yes I carry about about 6 bat for the Go Pro and 5 for the DSLR.

[@missinipemagic8951]

A couple of questions if you don't mind? Awesome vid as usual and much of the end result is down to some superb editing. Have you used only Go Pro equipment on this and, if so, how do you record sound so well? Also, what editing software are you using? Thanks.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thanks! I did use the SLR here and there but the Go Pro is getting a fair bit of use... its just so handy and the stabilization is pretty good (although a bit frustrating too.... the latest one looks even better). I have a little plug in mic for the SLR now and it works pretty well and the audio on the GP is way better than it was on my hero3. I also do a fair bit of tweaking after the fact. I cut this one on Avid but my next one I'm using Premiere Pro.

[@missinipemagic8951]

@@JasonIrwinTumblehome Thanks for the info. I use premier pro but need to expand a little more on what it can do as I'm only scratching the surface. I do like it though. Trouble is I have an old Go Pro and a New one and its tough to mix the footage so I might upgrade. Also toying with the idea of a drone.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Yeah I hear ya... drones are so tempting. I'm not sure I'd get enough use to justify the extra weight and $$. :-) ... I probably won't let that stop me though!! @@missinipemagic8951

[@maydanlex]

I realize you drive a Ferrari now but just out of curiosity, how much did your other/older woman weigh?

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

The CJ is 60lbs! .... for years I thought it as between 50-55

[@pataneap]

Another great video, Jason. It's always a treat when you paste a new one. Hope you don't mind that I posted a like to it on the Canoetripping.net website.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Thank you and yes please, post away. I'm not great at the self promotion game so I like it when others pass it along.

When you had to stop talking and got yourself stuck on the rocks there I saw that guy pop out of the Bush behind you guys like where did he come from?! Yeah

Trade You some Trout for Pike lol they are a dime a dozen here in WA behind Chief Joseph Dam no pike and I find them tasty lol oh also will trade 10 rattle snakes for every Garter snake too many of them too.

Ha Ha. We've got one kind of rattler here but they're pretty rare and I've never actually seen one.
