Exploring Lake Superior by Land and Lake | Travel Series | A Long Time Coming EP. 05

[@edot2541]

I truly don’t understand how the Discovery or Travel Network haven’t reached out to these guys via production or tv series!! This is quality narrating and production.

[@carolineludwig789]

One of y’all’s best videos yet…and they’re all phenomenal. The storytelling, music, and overall vibes in this one was pure happiness you guys. Thank you!! 😊

[@KyleMielke17]

Much love from Michigan!!

[@lillypatience]

MAK and Owen complement each other for sure. Sometimes we all have to be reminded to be in the moment.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I agree! We all have those moments and it is always so nice to come out of them fast enough to enjoy your surroundings!

[@Jacobbunt]

Every episode is so freaking good. I had no idea the UP was this good. Its definitely going on my trip list.

[@stackpack1498]

10:04 Dude I can’t believe how clear the water is. It looks like you’re floating in the air

[@BoundForNowhere]

Right?! It was so wild! It was blowing our minds the whole time we were out there!

[@tati113ful]

Michigander here, you captured it beautifully!

[@BoundForNowhere]

That is the highest of praise

[@maybeerainmaybeesnow]

Some of my fondest memories growing up in the midwest were spending time by the lake/forest in MI!

[@carolguezen5829]

I don't think I have the words to do you justice. Absolutely breathtaking...relaxing...and inspirational. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Glad you enjoyed it and you are so very welcome!

[@lostinthewoodsproductions]

I lived in the UP (Marquette) for 7 years! It's a special place. It's always cool to see if from someone else's perspective! Great Video!

[@tjnewman1576]

Hello from California. Video beautifully done. Music perfect. Brought back warm memories when my family and I visited beautiful northern Michigan 50 years ago. Subscribed and looking forward to more of your travels.

[@jeanne-gord7685]

Great photography, very special. The vid moves from the minutia back to the grand overlook, from the life around to your life within. Thank you.

[@lynnerikson3622]

Very inspiring! Love all the little details shot in the forest and on the beach. Great story.

[@ericrjennings]

So cool to see my home state getting some love

[@BoundForNowhere]

Hope we did it justice!

[@markg3025]

Great area I visited Painted Rock 8 years and was struck by the beauty of the lake shore. I do enjoy your videos.

[@amyheflin143]

Pictured Rocks and the state of Michigan should thank you for the influx of visitors that will result from this beautiful video!

[@benhandley9739]

You tell such a great story and the photography/videography are always the best! Thx

[@scottbalko672]

Thank you so much for the video. So wonderful to watch you guys wander through my backyard. I grew up in Munising and now live in the big city of Marquette. I spend a lot of time on the Pictured Rocks lakeshore. Either working as a captain on Pictured Rocks Cruises, or just wandering around the shoreline. The UP is a special place and I feel lucky to call it home. . I enjoyed the short conversation we had at Black Rocks and look forward to running into you both again.

[@ScottMcIsaac-i2l]

Thanks for letting me reminisce on your travels. I lived here for 6 years and love the surrealness of this area! Great job capturing the vibes!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Surrealness is a great way to put it! Thank you!

[@markfancher5676]

Born and raised in Michigan excellent video there's so much to see out there you wouldn't believe it

[@BoundForNowhere]

You got that right!

[@sandraecker6463]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful anniversary trip with us. Now I have to go back and go kayaking at Pictured Rocks.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Yes you have to!

[@mothermedicinemusic]

I think this is my favorite so far! And y’all have a bunch of great vlogs out❤

[@TehKithy]

Isle Royale, next? Cool! That was our first backpacking trip, back about 40 years ago- hope to go back, again!

[@Sshroomy]

I loved this episode! My "wow" count started from the beginning of the video. 🥰😊

[@BoundForNowhere]

Oh wow! HA jk, but same! Pictured Rocks is off the charts!

[@3tacoman]

Another stunning video with top tier cinematography

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so muchhhhhh!

[@dorothypinckney885]

Thanks for sharing. I have just began my research to do these trails. Your footage confirms why I want to go here!

[@cynthiaschwartz559]

I was right, my favorite Lakeshore. It is our little piece of paradise in the midwest. I am glad you enjoyed your anniversary there. I love chapel Beach, we always pick that campsite. I love to wake up early and enjoy the beach to myself. I actually have some pretty amazing photos from there. I know your next weeks destination, we are backpack that park I'm June. I can't wait!!!! Thank you for these amazing videos ❤ P.S. someday you will have to come to Door County, it too is very beautiful!

[@BoundForNowhere]

oh how lovelyyyy! Yeah that is such a special area! I can't wait until we can go back... hope to do a winter mission there some time!

[@omglolwots]

I did that portion of the NCT in 2021 and loved it. Such a special part of my home state, and you captured it beautifully. We have a lot of beautiful places, and camping on Lake Michigan and Lake Superior are among my favorites.

[@ginavloet9697]

I have shared this video with 4 friends. It’s beautiful!

[@mothermedicinemusic]

Love all the graphics on the intro - Rockin nice!!!!❤

[@philiptarnaski1667]

We also love the U.P. , Porcupine Mountain, Black River Harbor, beautiful water falls all over the area 👍 How were the mosquitoes! Thanks for sharing your travels.

[@garyaaron8425]

You guys ARE beautiful! Happy Anniversary. Can't wait for more. Thank you!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! You are too sweet!

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Thank you for this. My wife and I were here 40 years ago. Its good to see nothing has changes, right down to the porcupine. God Bless from Texas!

[@thomasquigley7040]

Um, wow! It's not just the travel, or the vlogging. It's the cinematography and photography. Oh and Mak, that dive at 18:33 tells me you probably swam competitively before.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I sure did ;) So did Owen however that dive was no proof of it! HA

[@fastgurrrl]

WOW!!! Ty so much, how spectacular!!!!!!!!! Happy 7th guys. Many more and wish you both your dreams. Muah!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much Jodie! It was a good one!

[@kleerogers]

Very good video, beautiful area of the world!!!

[@Travelhiker520]

I've traveled to and through every State in America but I still haven't been to Michigan. I really want to take a trip now to Lake Superior. It looks amazing!

[@crj2day]

Thank you for this! My family and I spent three years living in Michigan and still to this day think it's one of the most beautiful places in the country. We very much miss living there.

[@sweetteaandsharky]

You guys do such a great job capturing the beauty in nature and telling the story of these places. What a wonderful way and place to celebrate your anniversary. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much Ruth! As you can tell, we like to have a good time... our version of a good time anyways ;)

[@rickbrockthedog8017]

Beautiful and well done! Loved the music!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you very much! I loved playing with the music a bit more in this series!

[@StarshineInTHEnorth]

To all who travel near the Big Lake✨🌲🌊🌲 Once a Sea🐚 Take care of our once hidden gems ;) Our Sacred waters✨ Our Sacred land✨ 🪶

[@MyraHart1943]

That "Life, uh, finds a way" line cracked me up. Clever girl! The photography and cinematography in this series is next-level btw!

[@BoundForNowhere]

You really get me ;)

[@scottschwertfager9644]

We’ve been there and it’s one of the most beautiful places in our country.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I couldn't agree more!

[@chadwallinga2016]

Y'all did the UP justice, kudos!

[@BoundForNowhere]

The highest praise we could receive!

[@d_rock_t]

You're videos make me so happy... and jealous. Thanks for all you do, continually.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Glad you like them! Thank you so much for being here for the journey!

[@FotosPDX]

Cool intro animation with sponsors and transition with Jazz and voice over.

[@benanderson569]

Ran the pictured rocks north to south with a couple friends a few years ago; great ultra with amazing swimming along the way!

[@chrishoward4546]

Excellent Great work!! Thank you for your continued top shelf entertainment!!!

[@misplacedoverland]

The Pasty! Ketchup not Gravy 👍👍 Glad you enjoyed your time. As always this series is incredibly inspiring. Can’t wait until next week!

[@mapleleafdrifters]

We are lovin the series, amazing as always. Nailed it again on the intro, right there with Lost & Found, we watch it every time 🙂🙂The great lakes are amazing, we went down the Canadian side of Superior this past summer, beautiful as well.

[@jenniferbates7656]

My husband and I loved your Alaska series and have watched all your videos since. We recently watched Owen interview you. We wanted to say you are a Travel Show host, the best kind, one of your own making. We felt like we to had been to Alaska and watching the bear and salmon and to see Lake Michigan the holiday beach vibe. Your truth, sincerity and Joy (love of eating)are why we keep coming back for more. Check out Itchy boots best wishes from Australia x

[@BoundForNowhere]

Wow, thank you! Owen said the same thing! I have realized my idea and desire of being a travel show host has matured and changed since then but I agree! It is really fun to know that I am essentially doing that but in my own way! I feel very lucky to be able to say that!

[@brianhash3222]

The mellow beats and mellow music seal the deal.👌

[@jaeljade3609]

My family has a house on Madeline island. I haven't been up there for years, but I miss it and Bayfield so I really loved this.

[@janwaller3585]

Beautiful backpacking experience ❤️

[@ParkerOutside]

Thanks for this. Have wanted to visit Pictured Rocks for years!

[@JJKHaywood]

Ah .. the sandy beach of Yooper Land. Congratulations on 7 years and sharing with us all 🎉

[@alc.571]

I liked the quick cuts you edited together whilst lighting the jet boil. Reminded me of several scenes in Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! I thought that was pretty fun too!

[@traveladventurexplore]

Well done guys! Love it!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much!

[@DrifterJourney]

We loved our time there! It's so nice that you guys are able to capture the true beauty of these places for others to see that may not get a chance to go........and inspire many others to get out there!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Shucks guys, you all are too sweet! Thinking of you all during the move! YOU GOT THIS!

[@karppadiem7014]

Amazing scenery but that porcupine on the path was next level! Thanks so much for taking us along. 💞 -western NY Troy & Aimee

[@BoundForNowhere]

It was our pleasure! I wanted to keep that little cutie so bad... but I know the porcupine was happy where he was ;)

[@brianvandermeulen4775]

Nice job! As a native Michigander I've hiked that trail since 1975 several times. The road between GM and Munising was a two track back then. More people now but still a timeless beautiful region. Watch out for the black flies this must have been filmed in early to mid june before the big hatch.

[@bryancohn9406]

Brave indeed shooting film in those conditions. I LOVE your dedication to the craft of photography and filmmaking as I know just enough to know how hard it is to be as good as you are MAK at shooting film and both of you are at shooting video. Another fantastic film you’ve given us, thank you!

[@mothermedicinemusic]

Great to see you folks returning, and with awesome content as usual! Many blessings and happy anniversary

[@casselnoel]

Great video! Excited for next week🎉

[@BoundForNowhere]

Yay! Thank you! We are too!

[@jackwalsh1468]

Owen and MAK, enjoyed the video very much and look forward to the next episode. Cheers, Mate?

[@yeshappynomad]

Looking forward to this! You're an inspiration and we love your videos. Much thanks 🙌

[@BoundForNowhere]

Hope you enjoyed!

[@jenniferbates7656]

We also wanted to say being so connected in the Moment is very evident in your photos videos and you are both doing exactly what you were meant to do. The oneness comes thru in your videos. Pls make 2 videos a week 😊you are living your dream and inspiring other to venture outside the box even if Its just thought. 🏄‍♂️ my husband said the only piece of equipment you haven’t got is mountain bikes have you thought about 🚲xx

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you again! Seriously the nicest comments from you Jennifer

[@Nowhere888]

You should see the Porcupine Mountains which is the other favorite hiking spot in the U.P. I got photos if you don't believe me and they are spectacular. I can tell you why the U.P. of Michigan is a secret because I lived there 2 years. The U.P. winters are ferocious with -30 days lasting for months on end with 60 mph winds and almost no day light. The summers are spectacular and the winters are horrendous. The U.P. is heaven and hell. I forgot to mention the snow totals: it is like 9 feet so get used to shoveling snow.

[@sian_richardson]

That water is insane 😮😍 def never would have guessed this is where you were!

[@BuccaneerOverland]

Had no idea how beautiful the UP was! Will be hitting the road full time when I retire in the next two years. Will be adding the UP to my list of destinations. Greetings from Florida.

[@studiobrar1692]

Just epic in every sense!!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so so much!

[@michellegrant5928]

Well, that's going on the hiking / kayaking list. I just checked, and it's an 11 hour drive from where I live. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@calliespop]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@BoundForNowhere]

You're welcome!

[@moosepeak]

Just wow.

[@davidw5629]

What a lovely hike and paddle. BTW, you guys sure have the equipment.

[@BoundForNowhere]

HAHA that is why our rig is so big!

[@keliplourde5601]

Thanks guys, stay safe ♥

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! We are so appreciative!

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

Good video! Was up there in 2018. It's definitely a gem of a place that plenty of folks have never seen. Pure Michigan has alot to offer! I lost an action cam at the bottom of a river up there while kayaking! Tightlines and safe Travels

[@markfancher5676]

What an excellent video

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you very much!

[@rangerbatt275]

Really enjoyed the video. We saw you driving through Hancock 8/20/22.

[@hopeulikenudes]

Beautiful and well done!

[@mothermedicinemusic]

#Paul Stamets is a world reknown well planned trip my friends. To pack in those cleverly designed kayaks - brilliant! Those views, all I could say was……..W O W!😮😊❤

[@big-russ5037]

Very nice video thankyou! I have rented a 23ft travel trailer and will be spending a week the UP with my family and painted rocks is one of our stops looks beautiful.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Oh how lovely! I bet that was so much fun!

[@thewaywewander4136]

another great video!! That color grading around 13:00min...AMAZING!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so muchhhhh! Wanted to do something a little different to highlight the lush forest!

[@thewaywewander4136]

@@BoundForNowhere well it absolutely worked!!

[@thomaspossien3898]

excellent

[@alanjohnson2613]

I believe pictured rocks is one of the few areas where you must camp only in designated campsites.

[@bobhewlett3633]

Another beautiful episode. We loved Pictured Rocks NL when we were there a few years ago. It was later in the year, so there was some early fall foliage. Gorgeous area. MAK, from your diving, you must have been a swimmer in school. Hopefully you did Sleeping Bear Dunes NL on your trip. I’m guessing next week is Isle Royale NP?

[@BoundForNowhere]

You guessed right ;) on the Isle Royale and me being a swimming. Owen and I met on the swim team in college which is why I was so disappointed by his dive ;)

[@farbeyonddriven8173]

Ya'll have serious skills!! Always enjoyable. Ticks bad?

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! And not a one! Well on us anyways!

[@UpNorthProductions]

Awesome video! What is the name of the pack rafts used? Thanks!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you ! They are Alpacka Rafts! We have this one with the whitewater decking: bit.ly/3nJ6Gr3

[@Tom48317]

Great Northern US series. Your Pictured Rocks NL footage is awesome. You should also take a look at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in the lower peninsula; some great vistas and nice camping on the NL’s Manitou Islands.

[@BoundForNowhere]

We've actually been! A friend and I almost got stuck at the bottom of a dune looking for petoskey stones

[@SummitForWellness]

That water looks amazing! I've been to Michigan many times but never have explored the lakes, it looks so much different than I expected! How did you determine which section of your hike to packraft? Did you have previous info about that section or did you randomly pick that 4 mile stretch to packraft?

[@mjrwey]

Great video! What brand are your rafts?.....I scrolled through some comments hoping to find someone asking or mentioning it but no such luck.

[@BoundForNowhere]

They are Alpacka Rafts! We have this one with the whitewater decking: bit.ly/3nJ6Gr3

[@KevDoes]

Anyone know what rafts they were using in this video? I kinda wanna try those who hiking/rafting OR biking/rafting thing

[@BoundForNowhere]

Sure thing! It's this one +whitewater decking: bit.ly/3tuspmD

[@tahosrfr]

Thanks for opening my eyes. Looked amazing. How were the skeeters?

[@BoundForNowhere]

Oh you are so welcome! Pretty special right! And they were not bad at allllll somehow!

[@keenangreen8656]

what camera lens do you shoot with??

[@chelseawestcott12]

Sorry if this is already in the comments but could you share the rafts you are using! Thank you

[@iosullysammy]

???!!!Awesome videos. ????? What are those inflatable kayaks brand name please. Thanks

[@zsuzsannahiczko]

Happy anniversary for you!!:) I found your channel just now,you are really inspiring! May I ask what is the brand and type of your boat?:) Thank you very much for your answer and take care:)

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thanks! They are Alpacka Rafts.

[@kristinlambert8323]

I normally don’t make comments but wanted to compliment you on your videos. Michigan has become my favorite vacation spot and looking forward to another trip this summer. Your video brought back good memories and making me excited for this years trip. Glad you are able to showcase it and do it justice. Beautifully shot and edited. May I ask what brand of sandals you are wearing in the video?

[@larryheiny5287]

Thanks again! Another very well done episode beautifully shot and edited with thoughtful dialogue and music. A banal question, why did you switch from the Kokopelli in Alaska to Alpacka pack rafts in this series? Looking forward to the next episode!

[@ryanmarshburn2858]

Did you register your kayaks in Michigan?

[@BoundForNowhere]

We did not. We are not residence, and I don't think inflatables particularly anything under a certain length have to be.
