What a good baby!

[@AtlasAdventures]

She the best 🐶

[@danamesa9860]

Can't stop watching.... Love love love mi & want to explore more... Thanks for the journey...

[@davidgoff7336]

Sorry, I am on Atlas's side on the kayak launch out into the lake. With that steep bank you could have held the kayak while she jumped out. Anyway, little water never hurt a kayaker, LOL. Wonderful trip. I truly enjoyed it. :)

[@AtlasAdventures]

Thank you and you are completely correct, it was not atlas’s fault. I should’ve let her out first like I normally do

[@markbarlow2215]

So cool! Portaging looks tough! Thank god you you had enough pan cake mix!

[@AtlasAdventures]

Portaging is no joke! Would like to try it on a day trip without all the camping gear

[@KellysCanoeing]

Sylvania is gorgeous. Fyi drone are prohibited in wilderness areas

[@AtlasAdventures]

Oh dang I did not know that! Thanks. I knew national shorelines and parks you can’t. I will say I (and probably the other campers and wildlife) prefer a random drone sound over the hours of bumping music from the camp next to me 🤣

[@KellysCanoeing]

@@AtlasAdventures the two rangers in Sylvania are very chill, good guys. Don't want you to get in trouble elsewhere. Thumping music does suck in the wilderness. Safe travels

I just picked up the book "Sylvania" by B. Peacock ... second hand and after finishing the thin book in no time and watching your wonderful video...I am going this summer 2023. Thanks for the proper vid!!

[@AtlasAdventures]

Thank you for the kind words :) and I’ll have to check out that book. It is an amazing place BUT go on a weekday if it’s summer. I didn’t show them in the video but there were a lot of people out there

[@williamjubb3rd257]

@@AtlasAdventures Thanks for the heads up. BTW...the author, Bonnie Peacock is (or was) a U.S. Forest Service worker born and raised right there. The book is a private press...she was pressed to share this gem.

[@robertlane6675]

I live in this area and I am getting more into the outdoors. I joined my local search and rescue team and the first time I really was in the Sylvania was for a search call last summer. I plan to do some day trips and maybe a night trip this summer. Awesome videos man.

[@AtlasAdventures]

Dang thats a pretty interesting way to explore the area! Thank you and have a great time out there

[@MBlackford100]

Great video! The state of Michigan is a beautiful place, so much to offer those who are willing to go out and explore it. I look forward to seeing your channel grow.

[@AtlasAdventures]

It really does have so much to offer! I left california for michigan just for the outdoors alone. Thank you and happy you enjoy the adventures

[@awitnessuntoallnations]

Pure Michigan! Awesome adventure through some beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking us along! 👍

[@AtlasAdventures]

It was pretty tough but the scenery was worth it! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@noboundaries7857]

You and your dog are like the real life version of "The Fire & The Flood" game on Xbox. Well done.

[@Jonr.mp4]

I’ve been meaning to camp the Sylvania wilderness. Thanks for the upload dog.

[@devindavila8674]

Poor Atlas... She didn't mean to shove the kayak off! haha. It's super beautiful up there. We should plan a trip to Isle Royal next year!

[@AtlasAdventures]

S’go! Isle Royal would be epic

[@rickfromvirginia]

Well this was a very interesting video. The canoe looked light but I could tell it was starting to get heavy. What amazes me is how Atlas fit so perfect on the back every time you finished a portage! Excellent scenery! How you handled 5 of them was awesome. I like your quick meals and that was a cool hammock! Thanks again for taking us along on your adventures! Definitely don't think I could do some of the ones you go on but you are giving me alot of ideas on what to take along. Still looking for you put a paypal or patreon up. Anyway keep up the adventures! Rick From Virginia

[@AtlasAdventures]

Thanks Rick! It was definitely a back breaking adventure this time. I actually do have a patreon set up, the link is in the description :)

[@rickfromvirginia]

@@AtlasAdventures heading there now!

[@rickfromvirginia]

Not sure it connected? Will give it a day and if not I will delete and try again. Rick

[@slynkylynx]

So appreciate your channel! Beautiful filming and story telling. Will you tell us Atlas's Story; how you two met?

[@AtlasAdventures]

Thank you very much :) Yes, that’s a good idea! I will for sure do that soon

[@billybert3506]

Just found your channel. This Sylvania loop is a great paddle/portage trip, I know it well. I can appreciate your effort on filming those portages with all that you carried through. I am curious about the camera/s you used on this trip? You captured some really great images, representing much of the color and theatrical quality that exists in Sylvania. Good On Ya! 🤠

[@savagewolf1966]

Really enjoyed the trip, beautiful country. Could you tell me what is the make and name of your kayak,looks sturdy.

[@AtlasAdventures]

Thank you so much! It’s a Perception Sound 10.5 ft kayak. There is a link to it in the description 👍

[@Jonr.mp4]

There is nothing like waking up from camp and having coffee. Also another letter from the alphabet to add is (b) Bourbon (c) camping and (c) coffee.

[@LMay64]

Being from MI, I'd never heard of this area. I just recently began doing some kayak camping. I live in CO, but travel to MI a couple of times a year to visit family. This area is going on my list of places to kayak and camp. I have an ORU, a 20lbs folding kayak that may be easier to carry on the portages, especially for an old(er) woman like myself. lol Care to share which campsites you liked or would recommend?

[@AtlasAdventures]

I would love to take my kayak to CO! Been just never with a kayak. ORUs are great if you’re not taking a dog! i’ve only been to these two sites, Fox-1 and Raccoon. I think all the sites/fire pits are about 300 ft from the water. Raccoon was a nice spot but both fox 1&2 had a rough launching area. Mucky and downed trees

[@dyerlewis7564]

What kind of kayak is that? Did you see beaver lodges? Thanks!

[@AtlasAdventures]

It’s a Perception Sound 10.5 ft kayak. There is a link to it in the description. I don’t recall seeing any beaver dams…

[@imatkingTX]

Great video! My adventure dog enjoyed it too! Quick question, how are you keeping the meat chilled from day to day?

[@AtlasAdventures]

Thank you! I took a very small soft lunchbox size cooler and froze the meats beforehand, so that was enough to keep them cold through the second day but on a longer trip I wouldn’t be able to go past day 2 with cold food without more cooler space

[@katocatone]

Buffalo is so good...makes u realize why we ate the hell out of them back in the day.

[@AtlasAdventures]

You ain’t wrong 😂

[@katocatone]

@@AtlasAdventures love this trip btw! Looks like it was a lot of fun and peaceful! Sylvania has been on my to do list for a couple years now.

[@AtlasAdventures]

@@katocatone thanks and yes it was. I definitely wouldn’t mind going back and spending more nights and trying different sites

[@katocatone]

@@AtlasAdventures Do ittttttt!! Theres so much to explore there! Haha i know ill be watching along! 🤙🤙

[@tacticalsweater5119]

Be cautious and alert. Don't want to end up in one of these missing hiker videos.

[@nedVenturesOut]

No life vest?

[@AtlasAdventures]

Yes, it’s in my kayak

[@ladyofjazz448]

I am a new subscriber and I can't get enough of your adventures! One question: what is your best way of fighting off all the mosquitoes and black flies other than the bug net, like when you are out on the kayak or hiking through the woods, either spray or net clothing?

[@AtlasAdventures]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos :) I use odorless permethrin by Sawyer, should be able to get it at most outdoor stores. It’s military grade bug repellent you spray onto your clothes once they are hanging outside and then leave them to dry. After that those clothes should stay repellent for six months or six washes.
