[@TheWanderingWulfs]

Awesome hike with your daughter and Mickey. Lots of obstacles make it a fun adventure. ❤ Great job on the rock scrambling. We always say the same thing about the vultures and how they must be circling overhead while waiting for one of us to keel over. 😂 Nice try, Mickey! It's more about the journey and not the final destination. Great video!

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi. Mickey doesn't refuse to do something very often so he must have been pretty worried, glad we abandoned the climb. Thanks for watching!

[@DCOutdoors]

I really enjoyed the style of your videos. It's great to get out with your daughter and Mickey. Lol at sending your daughter through those turbulent waters before you. I liked the history you shared on the park, too! 🇨🇦 🤝 🇨🇦

[@flynorthproductions]

Hey, thanks so much for the feedback, it's really appreciated. I'm glad you like my format, I try to give viewers something to smile about whenever I can. Thanks again.

[@maureenmunden6708]

Love the philosophical reminders of what makes a good day. 😊

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! I'm tempted to start a new channel called "Deep Thoughts with Daryl" - I think it could be a winner. 😁

[@poentang]

What a beautiful place and stunning scenery! I love the joke about sending your daughter across the cold creek first. Thanks for sharing the wonderful hike!👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you so much for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated and helps inform future videos that I do. Thanks again. Kindest regards.

Thanks!

[@hikinganddrone]

Thanks for sharing, this place is on my list👍👍👍👍

[@flynorthproductions]

I'm glad to hear that - you'll love the view from the top, there's so much more to see. Thanks for watching, my friend.

[@JenniferLupine]

Fun to see you out exploring with your daughter and Mickey! Great job crossing the submerged bridge portion! 👌Mickey does great on trail, those boulders were just too big for him … exploring really is all about the journey… glad to see you reached another beautiful spot in Killarney Provincial Park! ☀☀👍👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you, Jen. It was a great day despite not making it to the top this time. If you do ever get to visit Ontario, I recommend putting Killarney on your list of places to visit. Thanks for the visit. ~ Daryl

[@maxwashingtonmusic7000]

Wonderful nature scenes! Nice message about the journey. I hopped over after hearing Rivers and Coffee’s shoutout. Cheers ☀️☀️☀️☀️🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥👍🏻

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you so much for visiting! I discovered Jim's channel about a year ago and have been watching ever since. His videos always make me smile. Thanks again for taking the time to check out my channel.

[@meruhan-kazuchan]

Beautiful walking with your dog and daughter. Have a nice week.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you so much and I wish you a nice week as well.

[@caseyoingo6440]

Beautiful what a place, Mickey was quite cautious up there 😊

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes, it gorgeous and the top is even better as you can see into Killarney's interior lakes. Maybe I'll get there next time. Thanks for watching.

[@blendedtravels]

That looks like a beautiful area! The trail certainly did get difficult in that steep rocky section. Mickey is a smart dog and I would have turned back with him. LOL. That was a fun adventure with Mickey and your daughter. I hope you are doing great! 😊👍39

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you very much. I've always believed my dog is smarter than I am. 😅 Thanks for visiting.

[@backroadjournals]

So now you got a Drone Pilot AND a Camera Operator, just got to get them together for your next hike and relax 👍🙂. Good thing Mick knows his limits, we always love seeing him in your videos. He is so well trained and behaved 👍. Thank You for taking us along on another beautiful hike. All the best, Michelle and Holger 🙏

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes, I can probably just stay at home now and let the others do all the work. 😁 I'm lucky to have Mick, and he doesn't refuse to do something very often so he must have been scared. Thanks for visiting. ~ Daryl

[@IceBearHalfwayPoint]

Hi, Mickey & daughter! 👋 Pretty water source. That rock scramble looked rough. 😬 Poor Mickey didn’t know how to maneuver. You are so right- love your outlook on the whole situation, and your ability to be smart and call it! Excellent video! 😁👊

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi! Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your comment. It made my day. Cheers. ~ Daryl

[@carolannontario]

Looks like a wonderful day out with your daughter. I like the joking and teasing - we are definitely like that in our family too. Great decision, weighing what is most important. Excellent video, fun to watch!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks - I hope nobody misinterprets our humour as me not being nice! Not everyone appreciates sarcasm. It's nice to know the humour is recognized.

[@tripmood365]

Thank you for a wonderful hiking day. Professional implementation. The stone quarry was pretty wild. See you! The journey continues, my friend. Greetings from Helsinki 🇫🇮

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you so much, I appreciate you visiting!

[@CraigKoppel]

Good decision on sending your daughter across first. Even though Mickey couldn’t make it it was still a nice hike. 👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes, it was, I'm no dummy. 😁 Thanks for watching, Craig.

[@kanukkarhu]

It's clear to me that Mickey and the 'camera man' did a great job for you out there, Daryl. You might consider a generous performance bonus before they organize and join a union... Lol! Great job by all! Nothing disappointing in making a decision based on the limitations of one of the party, especially the star of the show, Mickey! Awesome hike, awesome day out with the daughter and pup, and another awesome upload on a monday morning!! Thanks for sharing this with us! - Jeff

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Jeff! You're right, I have to keep the star safe from harm. I was a little disappointed I didn't make it up since the view is so spectacular, it looks into the interior lakes of the park, but I've been there before and I'm sure I'll get there again. I hope all is well where you are, have a great week! ~ Daryl

[@KhurshidsChannel]

amazing video. Thanks for sharing. 👍26

Great looking area. 👍👍

[@flynorthproductions]

It sure is, thank you for watching. 🙏

[@hikingoutdoorfamily]

You always make me smile in your videos. I love how you joke you sent your daughter across the cold creek first. She did a great job with the camera. Beautiful scenery and even if you didn't make it to the top, still looked like an awesome hike. Glad you turned back for Mickey, guess something about those rocks he did not like.

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks - I really appreciate your feedback. I sometimes think my humor is rubbing some people the wrong way so I'm glad to hear it made you smile. I really appreciate your visits. ~ Daryl

[@NatureAndOther]

Wonderful family video ❤👍

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you very much, Roni. Cheers. ~ Daryl

[@HikerT]

Great adventure - always a good idea to send a daughter ahead to assess 😆 Isn't it amazing how many of these pretty places were almost not protected? Beautiful area, thanks for sharing! Pats to Mickey - he gave it a valiant effort. ☺

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi. Yes, the lumber companies would have taken every last tree if not for environmentalists, thank goodness. Mickey used good judgement there I think, I didn't want to risk injury to him or myself just to get to the top. Thanks for visiting.

[@simbajohn1882]

Great video daryl, glad you cut hike short. We have to look after our four legged hiking partners.

[@flynorthproductions]

We sure do, it was just to risky to lift him and he had decided he wasn't going any further. Thanks again John.

[@simbajohn1882]

​@@flynorthproductionsyour welcome. Hummingbirds are back here today. Put out some cut oranges, waiting for oriole that visits every year. Hoping I don't get a beaver in my pond this year. In the spring the males go out and seek a new area to start a family. If you don't deal with them they will disappear for about two weeks and bring back a girlfriend with them. Then you got two and possibly more in time. have to be careful with your dog around them. They will draw dog out into the water and bite the underparts of the dog. When dog is bleeding the beaver will jump on the dogs head and drown it. The beaver has superior agility and strength in the water. Many years ago I watched a beaver taunting my dog on the shore of my pond. The beaver will come up to the edge of the pond and when the dog approaches he will back up bit by bit luring the dog in. I was able to scare the beaver away. The poplar trees are a beautiful translucent light green colour now. Quite the show, but won't last long. Have a great day. John

[@agesadventures]

I love your intros😁 Everyone wants to see you! Smart move to send the young one first! They're expendable😃 I'm glad you didn't push him😊 Great hike!

[@flynorthproductions]

Lol! Yeah, I like to bravely assess things from a safe distance. Mick rarely refuses to do something so he definitely didn't like those rocks. It really surprised me, he loves climbing on bedrock but I guess the boulders with the voids in between were not to his liking. Thanks for the feedback about the intros, I really appreciate that. Cheers, Age! ~ Daryl

[@CantGetHandle8]

Another beautiful wilderness park with a very significant meaning to me and my family. Long story I’ll share with you some time. Really nice to see your daughter helping Micky look after you on this energetic hike! 😂

[@flynorthproductions]

I'm really looking forward to hearing that story. And yes, it was nice to have some supervision on this hike, I tend to wander off trail and off topic when I'm on my own. Cheers. ~ Daryl

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

Beautiful trek! 😊

[@flynorthproductions]

Yes it was, thanks.

[@riversandcoffee]

Boy, that trail is so rugged and beautiful.... It's definitely all about the journey... I'm sure Mickey had other thoughts on why you guys turned back... Lol... Hope you have a great week buddy... Jim ✌️

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you Jim. Other than not going into water, that was the first time Mickey ever said 'no' to something. Thanks for checking it out. ~ Daryl

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

With that kind of rugged terrain your achievements were on point my friends👌 Maybe Mikey should map out future routes 😂 Thanks Daryl

[@flynorthproductions]

Lol - yes he would definitely choose a rocky path, just not that rocky. Thanks for watching, Marc.

[@simbajohn1882]

Laughed when you said they want to see micky. I walk my dog (simba) daily all through the year down by the marina here and on some trails. People say hi to simba by name, but forget mine. Lol. I think its cute.

[@flynorthproductions]

Lol - thanks! I think it's cute too - I'm glad they like to see him in the videos. I appreciate you watching, John. ~ Daryl

[@simbajohn1882]

​@@flynorthproductionsthanks for the videos. Enjoy watching them

[@wendingourway]

Fantastic adventure!! Not so sure about sacrificing your daughter to those frigid waters first though! LOL But even not making it to the top, Mickey gets a great reward for a valiant effort!! I would imagine the park will be put into tip top shape before the height of the season. One awesome of a day for sure!!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thank you Bruce. I wonder what Otis - being a mountain dog - would have thought of that trail. Other than not going into water, that was the first time Mickey ever said 'no way.' Thanks for watching.

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545]

Great job on this one Daryl :) I cannot get enough of that trail, its magic back there. The rocks can be intense but was told, with some help someone made it up there in a wheelchair a few years back😮 enjoyed and have a good day

[@flynorthproductions]

That's amazing! I'm a little disappointed we didn't get to the top but I've been there before so I'm okay with it. It just wasn't worth getting Mick stressed out. Thanks Janson. ~ Daryl

[@WarrenTheReporter]

It's nice to see the adventurous spirit runs in the family :) Sorry for the tardy replies, I don't watch KZbin on this account so I switch over just to leave you comments haha. I may give up some day and comment with my old account, so if you see a strange username being very familiar that'll be why!

[@flynorthproductions]

Hey Warren, glad you're back and no apologies necessary. I'm so glad to see your TVO content is getting a lot of views; I hope that translates to future success as well. All the best. ~ Daryl

Oh that's great to hear! I'm looking forward to watching that one. I hope you really enjoy the hike. Thanks for visiting!

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Hi Mr. Fly Excuse my absence due to my filming trip and just got back Nice to have an assistant, right? Oh..yes tell me about making hard decision. Did you see me fall by the waterfall? hahahhah The rock formations are quite challenging to climb for even us. There is always another time .. Well done Mr. Fly. May I ask what is your "to go camera lens?" Do you take extra lens? if so, what size are they? I appreciate it. See you next one..

[@flynorthproductions]

Hi. Thanks for watching and commenting. I use an inexpensive Akaso Brave 7 action camera for most of my filming. It does not have an interchangeable lens so I'm pretty limited to what I can shoot. Thanks again for watching.

[@iCanoe_]

That looked like a challenging hike alright... but at least you got to work on your macro photography @ 0:11. :p Hopefully no damage to the camera...? Good call to skip the summit and to enjoy the view from the 'almost summit'. Plans change and that's OK! Always better safe than sorry. Cheers!

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks! Yes, that was quite the macro shot. No damage this time, surprisingly. But the lens cover does have a significant crack from a previous fall yet it doesn't seem to affect the quality of the video somehow. I'm looking forward to your next one. Cheers! ~ Daryl

[@StartLivingNow1963]

Great Hike Thank You Daryl the Scenery is Beautiful that was some steep Hike up the Mountain and some Rocky too. 🙂❤👍Hey Daryl what kind of Camera do you use for Vlogging and do you use a DJI Mic for Recording??? 🙂❤👍Watching from NB Canada🙂🙂🙂

[@flynorthproductions]

Thanks Robert, yes the scenery really is spectacular for this region. I use an Akaso Brave 7 for the video and most of the audio is captured from its internal mic. From time-to-time, I'll get my cell phone out to record some ambient sounds, or video, or photos. The Brave 7 doesn't work with external mics like the DJI, and its own wired proprietary mic is not very good at all so the internal one does most of my recording. My over-dubbed narration is done at home with a much better microphone. I do have cheap version of the DJI style wireless mic that I'm starting to use while paddling on the water to mitigate wind noise, but the jury's still out on that gear. I also use a Hohem gimbal for my camera, it's an absolute must to keep the video from being too shaky. Hope this helps, if you want more information, give me a shout. Thanks! ~ Daryl
