[@tmac709]

Wow! Talk about cool, Big Chute and the railway lift was super cool! Totally enjoyed this video.🤠

[@staycool123]

Glad you enjoyed it T Mac and thanks for watching!😎

I'm only half way through this video , but I had to stop and comment. WOW!!! I can only imagine what the PUCKER factor must have been just hanging from those straps. Good going team. Later. Semper Fi

[@staycool123]

It was a pretty strange feeling knowing we were held by only 2 straps, but we saw several boats go through so we were confident in the Parks Canada staff.😎

Oh ma gosh you’re through big chute! Heehee that was a fun vid to watch. Back in lovely Georgian Bay 😁

[@staycool123]

Thanks Lauren! Oh my gosh!! 😜 So nice to enjoy Georgian Bay again!

Thanks for your comment Ray!😎

[@frankcarl2469]

That is so interesting, never seen anything like that on any other loopers channel. 👍

[@staycool123]

Thanks for your comment Frank and for watching!

Met one of your fellow Loopers at Lock 32 in Bobcaygeon this past Sunday. (July 31) They had the gold burgee and currently working on their platinum burgee. They're up from Key West Fla. for the summer. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@staycool123]

Thanks Greg for your comment and for watching! A large majority of loopers are American and quite an accomplishment to be doing the loop twice!😎

[@potoole1953]

You are doing what I would love to do...someday soon. Great video

[@staycool123]

Thanks for watching Patrick!😎

[@nickferrie3727]

How cool is Big Chute!?!? It's like a boatercoaster. Great vid.

[@staycool123]

...or a rollerboater! Thanks for watching Nick :)

[@dougwelch8890]

I camped on Beausoleil Island in 1968. It was a trip I will never forget and I'm glad it still looks much the same as I remember. Maybe some day I'll be back. Thanks for the memories.

[@staycool123]

Thanks for watching Doug! Beausoleil is a beautiful spot. Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@buckpowers4837]

Great video, best I have ever seen showing the Big Chute. Fantastic trip and some amazingly close channels. A person has to be very attentive on the Trent=Severn. Enjoy

[@staycool123]

Thanks for watching and for your kind comment Buck! It sure was a unique experience!

[@iantoft9536]

Well done once again with a fabulous video dudes! That railway for boats is the coolest engineering feat!

[@Boatgeekarl]

Jody and I watch a lot of Loop porn as we are starting our adventure January in Florida (hopefully we can meet you along the way). You post some of the best quality videos and music that we have seen. This episode, is the best that we have seen of the Big Shoot. Great job!

[@staycool123]

Thanks for your kind comment and for watching! The Big Chute is quite a unique experience! Perhaps we will see you out there on the loop!😎

[@tombowes9387]

Holy Moly the Marine railway is wild! Georgian Bay ❤❤❤Another awesome video, can hardly wait for the next one

[@staycool123]

Hi Tom, you are right the Marine railway was crazy unique! We love Georgian Bay!!

[@mvfridaynight4718]

How cool is that! What a great video guys. Always wondered exactly how that was accomplished! Note to self, get bottom cleaned before the Big Chute or possibly be embarrassed!

[@staycool123]

Ha ha ha! All exposed!! Thanks for watching!

[@davidstrickler6570]

It looks like the boats rest on their keels. How would pod drive boats be accommodated?

[@staycool123]

The boats are lifted by slings so the slings would have to be placed appropriately. It would be best to ask Parks Canada directly if your boat is pod drive. We would be surprised if they couldn't accommodate pod drive boats.😎

[@bobgiacopasi]

Wow, what an adventure! Never have I seen anything like the railway. Are the locks and such fee-based or part of the national infrastructure?

[@staycool123]

Thanks for watching Bob! The locks are run and maintained by Parks Canada, a Federal Department of Canada and there is a fee for locking through.

[@beechvflyer]

Kind of a silly question i know... but what did you use to "Oil" your wooden patio furniture? Loving your videos... Thanks!

[@staycool123]

No question is silly! I used boiled linseed oil and it works very well. Thanks for watching!

[@marcushamaker]

Wow, one day we'll get ourselves over there through Big Chute :) I had a question for you. How are the rules for leaving Ontario (I assume that is your home province) for leaving extended periods? Do you plan to dock the boat at some point and come back to Canada to make sure you don't lose your health coverage?

[@staycool123]

Thanks for watching Marcus. Great question about health care for Canadians. We will be addressing it in an upcoming Q&A episode... stay tuned!

[@swimdawg1763]

What is water depth and temp?

[@staycool123]

The minimum water depth throughout the entire Trent-Severn is 5-feet and the average water temperature is around 24C in July/August but can vary. Thanks for watching!
