CAMPING in ALGONQUIN Park Ontario - Part One ⭐️4K Video ⭐️

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy this canoe trip video - part one of two. I decided to make two videos out of the trip so that it wasn't too long.

[@alexnormal3031]

I love "Cold Frosty Morning" tune, nice melody for canoe trip.

[@statiusANDyuxzelf]

these videos really make me miss Algonquin

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Hi Jason 👋🏻 greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 👍🏻😁 As always … a wonderful video 👌🏻🏕🔥🌲🌤🦌 And especially love your little story about the wolf’s ha ha 😆 I’m glad we don’t have many of those here. Atb to you. Tom

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hi Tom, Thanks for the comment and sharing my little adventure.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Jason, lovely video as always! Really enjoyed your first day and night - stunning spot - got to visit Algonquin one day. 👍🛶

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hey Simon, Thanks You make your way to Canada and I’ll arrange everything else. Would truly enjoy a trip with you and to show you a few spots.

[@tombeckett4340]

That’s a sweet boat. Nice trip.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Great stuff Jason!

[@mattvaandering]

That wolf story is incredible! I have only heard wolves howl once and they were kilometers away. So Blessed man!

[@TrailguidePictures]

I've been fortunate to have heard them a few times and every time I go out I listen for them. Hoping to hear them again.

[@charlieporch3181]

I have been there many years ago. You could drink the water from springs. Rained everyday . For two weeks we went camping with the deer flies. I had a blast. Only saw 2 other people during the whole trip. My biggest tip to those planning to go in the summer, the water is so cold ,wear a life jacket. Awesome adventure, 🇱🇷🤜🤜🤜

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Awesome trip Jason! Looking forward to the conclusion...

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks! Next video will be up in a few days.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

@@TrailguidePictures Awesome! I look forward to it!

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

It must be quite satisfying to build a boat and actually use it. Pretty great. 👍🙂

[@TrailguidePictures]

It is the best part of building boats. Build something and then use it to take you to amazing places. The return on investment is really incalculable.

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

@@TrailguidePictures It would be great if you could somehow do a collaboration with Simon, A Bloke in the Woods. Get him into Algonquin, talk about canoe building around the fire. I'd watch that! 😉👍

[@TrailguidePictures]

I'd enjoy that.

[@FarranLifecharger]

Really enjoy your video's Jason. The timing on this was perfect. I'm taking my nephew who's 12 for the first time next weekend to Rain, Sawyer and Jubilee, it was nice to show him what we are going to be in for! That is a beautiful canoe you've built there!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you! You're nephew will have a great time I'm sure, its such a nice area.

[@annettemillette4091]

lovely hammock

[@annettemillette4091]

it's cute

[@Lord_Godd]

My Sunday just got better.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Awesome

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

Thank you for posting, I was supposed to be in the park for the last week :( but I could not make the journey this year from out west. Next year for sure, this helped me get a little bit of my fix.

Thanks for sharing beautiful Algonquin Park. I subscribed and let's stay connected.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you

[@mikesoros]

Very uncool Jason, tuning up your mandolin the cutting away when you start the playing 😁 lol! Seriously, love your vids especially the earlier canoe building ones

[@TrailguidePictures]

Lol. Yep. Thanks Michael. You might like a project that I'm working on and will be publishing in a few weeks. I think its a cool build.

[@chriss.4258]

Very cool can’t wait for the next video. Looking for a loop just like this and I love Rain Lake so easy to get to. PS sawyer is a real nice lake done it couple of times in late Oct. as a matter of fact my headshot is taken on Sawyer lake.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hey Chris, Hope you're having a good summer. It was a good little loop. I don't want to say too much before the next video. I have actually stayed on Sawyer (first site to the left and first site to the right), a really nice lake and the memories on them.

[@mountainsnmoore256]

New subscriber! Looking orward to the next episode! I wsh that it was only a 4 hour drive for me to Algonquin…I think that it is about an 18-20 hour drive for us. trying to talk my little group of paddling buddies into an International trip to Canada!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks for subscribing! The next episode will be out on the weekend. :)

[@mountainsnmoore256]

Jason Eke Maybe I will be able to find the time to get caught up on all of my subscriptions by then.

[@Tcchamp5877]

Not sure why you call it the ugly canoe because it’s beautiful. Very good craftsmanship on it and wonderful video as well..

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thank you. I call it the Ugly Canoe because it was built in a rush, with scrap wood I had in the shop, and the only time I ever used staples to hold the strips in place while building. I was also creating my own design that I had no idea how it would look or perform when finished. Truth is I'm very happy with it, but the nickname kinda' stuck.

[@Tcchamp5877]

It looks like a good one man canoe and it looked like you handled it pretty easy, so fairly lite for being wooden..

[@TrailguidePictures]

Wooden canoes can be heavy depending on how they're made. It pays dividends to build your canoe with a focus on its function. That's a big part of what makes a canoe a beautiful design.

[@LarryHyett]

Another great video Jason. That experience with the wolves sounds surreal. I find one of the biggest benefits of the hammock is how quickly you can roll out, do your business and jump back in. Good for when you're surrounded by wolves or in a rainstorm and don't want to go out from under your tarp!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Hey Larry, I agree, the hammock is way better for getting in and out of. I find that I do fall asleep faster in it too. It was a crazy experience with the wolves. Definitely memorable.

[@ganymedeszm]

Ahoj Jason skvělé video a moc krásná příroda 🙂👍🌲🌲🌲 🛶

[@TrailguidePictures]

Děkuji. Venku to bylo velmi krásné.

[@MysticMD]

Hey jason! Iloved that video! I have to go to the park for a canoe trip soon! :) i was wondering if you could tell me what camera gear do you carry with you to film a canoe trip ? Any special equipement? Thanks a lot

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

My dad still lives in Peterborough, I could fly back some time and join you no problem.

[@paddlehooked4687]

If that’s the ugly boat, I’d love to see the pretty one. Makes mine a puke bucket. I’ve used hammocks for years and only this year upgraded my straps and should have years ago. No more “trees too big” problem. The other upgrade I made this year was a bigger fly, the hex fly Hennessy has is great but I’m too cheap for that and grabbed one from Amazon. Really helps with wind/rain and that cold butt issue hammockers can face. Plus gives more space to store your stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Thanks! Yeah, hammocking is new to me but I think I'm converted. Still need to wait out a storm in one to know.

[@paddlehooked4687]

Jason Eke I’ve”hung” out in some pretty crazy thunderstorms and honestly, felt better in the hammock than in a ground tent. Don’t need to worry about water getting in as much. Any other danger will be essentially the same... unless the tree you’re hanging on goes down I guess. With the fly that it comes with, I’ve had some horizontal rain blow in to the tent under the fly, probably my fault for not having the fly low enough though. Never that issue since getting a bigger fly.

[@TrailguidePictures]

@@paddlehooked4687 In the next video I set up another tarp over the whole thing. Once published, let me know what you think of the set up.

[@keithsage7258]

How were the black flies?

[@TrailguidePictures]

Black flies were ok, mosquitoes were out and so were the deer flies.

[@keithsage7258]

Those delta wing bastards, Oh! the dang moose flies..I am from Ignace Dryden area.. I am Algoma from Sioux Lookout.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Never been to Dryden but I was up in Armstrong a few years ago for a week in Wabakimi. I bet you get your share of black flies etc up there.

[@annettemillette4091]

believe I saw when that boat was built unless there is more like it

[@annettemillette4091]

was that the one I saw building

[@danielsundberg1977]

Does the hammock have felt lining or something?

[@TrailguidePictures]

I has a sort of sleeve, a second bottom, and a mat slides in there that insulates the bottom. I'm doing my best to test it. Truthfully a bit concerned about how it will work in the autumn but we'll see.

[@danielsundberg1977]

I had a scout model a few years ago it was only a single skin and using it in 25degC nights in the tropics was very sweaty from the fabric.

[@jimfraser9898]

Hi Jason! Can you tell us the specs on your canoe please!

[@TrailguidePictures]

Sitting out on the front porch at the moment. I can share some, off top of my head. 14-1/2 ft, 10-1/2”deep (I think), 32 beam.

[@davidtowlun2118]

Where did you get the kevlar skid plates for your canoe? I've been thinking of adding some to my stripper canoes as well.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Truthfully I think I found them on Amazon. .. but maybe I bought them from MEC.

[@davidtowlun2118]

@@TrailguidePictures And just regular epoxy to adhere it?

[@TrailguidePictures]

Yes, I used TotalBoat brand epoxy because its what I have in the shop at the moment. Any clear saturating epoxy will work. (I should have made a video on doing this) All you do is trim the skid plate kevlar to size, tape on some plastic sheet (a garbage bag would do) to protect the areas around the skid plate from any epoxy drips, and then saturate the skid plate with the epoxy. After its cured the plastic is removed and you're good to go.

[@davidtowlun2118]

@@TrailguidePictures Thanks! I'm definitely going to look into doing this on my canoes!

[@darylmooyoung6414]

Jason, bro id totally crap myself in my tent, then prayed I carrier a spare change of clothes, I am no punk but there is a difference between taking on one wolf and a pack of wolves lol

[@TrailguidePictures]

Lol. Yeah, I'm with you and far from brave but in that situation I had to do what I had to do.

[@darylmooyoung6414]

great vids btw bro.

[@andrewrocket7481]

I wonder if marking your campsite helps to keep wolves away.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Not sure. I know a lot of people do that and for that reason. Truth be known that its on my mind most times when I'm in the bush. I think that for the most part the animals know you're there and want nothing to do with you. When one does, then there is an issue and marking won't change that. Then there are those cases when for some reason the animal is actually curious... What can you do? Just be prepared and go with it.

[@tcressman]

Just starting the video…did you see the dead moose on the southern island on McRaney?

[@TrailguidePictures]

No I didn't. Kinda' wish I had, Kinda' glad I didn't :)

[@tcressman]

@@TrailguidePictures My dad and I ended up on that site early in the spring…not too long after the ice had gone out. We didn't notice it until it was too late to pack up and safely get to another site (really windy). Needless to say, we got up early the next day and first thing made it to a different site! Kinda cool in retrospect, though…
