Now that is a trip to Algonquin! Lucky guy! I'm heading out there this Friday morning with 5 other pals. Hopefully the weather cooperates! Cheers and have a great time!

That's a well thought out menu!. It would be nice to see a video on the logistics of it all, how your getting the food everywhere and where you are storing it. It's nice to see no store bought camping meals in there.

I'm gonna forget something for sure. I say this to myself every time the night before i go. Nice job on the whiskey selection. Gotta have the essentials.

[@flynnhelsing]

I wish you well and I hope you will post a video of your travels. Cant wait to watch!

[@bryansromalski8171]

I need to learn how to pack my food like this... So efficient.

[@PineMartyn]

Kevin's book, "The Happy Camper" has a section devoted to camping meals and recipes. My wife and I have enjoyed many of the meals described in that book and from his earlier books. You will need a dehydrator to dehydrate foods for many of them though (pasta sauces, chili sauces, etc.). Our channel has some videos about how to do this, including a few sample recipes. His books are how we got started with better and lighter and more compact camping meals. Hope this helps, - Martin

looks good should be fun

[@TomsBackwoods]

Looks Great! Cant wait to see the video!

[@MrBenBoomer]

Jeeze Kevin, can I come? Haha! Have an excellent trip my friend! Aloha!

[@AlgonquinGearReviews]

you have no idea how helpful this was Kevin - I am going to be in the park Aug 17 - Sept 7 (22 Days) but I only have one food drop / resupply in Brent - thank god for Jake .. good call with the multi-drop.. Have fun! See you out there! ;)

[@zeke83]

You camp like we do! Legit! Great vid!

[@highheadjester]

Hope you have a great time!

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

You've got lots of chocolate!! Looks Great.

[@ActionHub]

Sounds delicious.

[@Deltakingca]

thats alot of stuff!! have fun

[@static4841]

I would also like to know if you have theses recipes written down and would share a few.

[@TheHappyCamper]

Nesco American harvest. Works well for me. I've had it for about 5 years and use it all the time

[@cjentertainmentcanada8623]

Good luck on the meanest link! You should eat well!

[@gogetyourowngear4251]

i have watched a ton of vids like this....this is the first one that showed taking booze. i am wondering if a lot of other peeps bring it and just don't put it on there video's. food cashes are the way to go for sure. well thought out my friend. you should eat like a king, and drink like one too.

[@southernboys18]

God I would love to be able to just get up and go on long outdoor trips! :(

[@bonniecornish4226]

Lol liquor always on the menu. Wish I could join u.

[@HamishMackenzie7]

Nice video Kevin. You allways eat better on a canoe trip. Did you pre-cook the bacon yourself, or did you buy it that way?

[@FreshAyers]

Nice video Kevin, my that is a lot of food! Tell me, where do you get those collapsible drinks carton thingies from?

[@Tangeloor]

GREAT MENU! Do you have these collected bag recipes written down somewhere?

[@PineMartyn]

Happy paddling. It's gonna be a hot 5-days. Bring sunscreen! - Martin

[@ShawnMcShane]

did you set up a whiskey pro-deal somewhere...actually.

[@CanaCanoe]

I love your stuff! great advice and super funny! Now the only question I have is how did you manage to get the ability to go on so many trips? I am wanting to do them all the time but the cost and other bills always weighs me down.

[@callancanoe]

I've used my conventional oven at the lowest temp. and it works okay

[@sapaintball32]

Have you ever thought about using a foodsaver? Maybe it could save you some space and weight

[@jaredmisener2947]

Drunk every night haha

[@renecarrillo7295]

Make a video of you cooking the food please

[@ktownc936]

What ??? I can't hear you over the bags

[@CuteCanadianRedhead]

Can I have food cooking in my pot while I am canoeing if I add boiling water to start in my dutch oven and cover it with tin foil and then set it in the sun on the canoe?

[@JohnSmith-eb2hm]

Just to let you know, your voice was a little quite at times, so you might want to invest on a good microphone if you haven't already. They're really worth it.

[@kennethbrooker]

Do you have a packing list with portions available? Thanks Lamper ken

[@TheHappyCamper]

That would be a good idea - but sorry, no I don't. I'll work on making up a menu plan

[@phynx2006]

What about cigars? hahaha

[@ActionHub]

What was your favorite meal out of those 20 days?

[@TheHappyCamper]

Ready Crisp Bacon - its pre-cooked.

[@melissilem2610]

Interesting to see these cultural food differences. no red blooded American making curries when out in the wild. And just about vegetarian. not an insult, just interesting.

[@camper905]

That will turn into a lot of poop!

[@ishmael747]

Lame. MYOB. I suspect that over 20 days that doesn't come out to much more than a couple shots a day particularly when there is two of them....but whatever, live your life the way you want and reserve the judgment.
