[@thefishinglor6931]

You’re amazing Alexis! The way you handle your dog and enjoy yourself outdoors is inspiring

[@12ThManOffGridAK]

Everyone loves you Alexis. I think you need your own guide service. And you're still my favorite Canadian. So happy to see Grizz again too! I know it's not winter. But thank you for sharing. We in Alaska love you!

[@yeoldfart8762]

That was quite nice. Thanks for taking us along.

[@ericcarpenter7553]

[@jimtaucher791]

Another fantastic video. Thanks for bringing us along

[@alternative.solutions3806]

I admire your outdoor spirit. Griz is such a cool pup. I dont admire the bugs. Just watching your video makes me itch. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@I_Am_Michael]

boy, you sure give that dog a great life.

[@antonboludo8886]

He is a happy animal :D

[@tomgrantham9992]

[@photonguy69]

Nice to see women doing this kind of content. I’ve watch a few your videos and I enjoy them. They’re super relaxing, keep up the good work.

[@Tr4shP4nda98]

Love watching Grizz bite at the "sky raisons".

[@terriplummer123]

what a pretty little lake to spend the day!

[@vicki5631]

Hi Careena. 'Older woman' here. 😁 I have had the Swift 14' prospector since 2018. The best thing I've ever bought. Worth every single penny. Love your channel. 👍

[@guy3206]

perfect pair, human & dog ! great !

[@vanrajrathod08]

Hi Alexis. I have watched most of videos of your bushcraft and camping. Love to see you with cute dog.

[@georgiafamilydogtails7763]

So you forgot something. You had a great day and spent it with your best friend, Griz. You're amazing! Balancing being a wife, mother, having a career, and being an entrepreneur on KZbin. Pat yourself on the back for all you do every day. 👏. I enjoyed this immensely.❤ Thanks.😀

[@careenaalexis]

Awe you are so kind thank you very much!

[@billclifton2808]

Lol that dog is priceless!!

[@stevecoffey4884]

Very good video. Thanks for showing the unloadind/loading of canoe and portage.

[@danwidmer8276]

You didn't need your pole, and you made the best of it and another great video! You rock.🐕

[@careenaalexis]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@MirrorDomains]

Awesome vid! Looked like a perfect day!

[@advancegraphics6400]

That pet 😍 is most blessed pet on this planet.

[@jackhammond8719]

definitely appreciate the hard work in filming. paddling in to set up the camera paddling back out to record paddling back in. great work

[@TheEZGZ]

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to u and grizz adventures.

[@everetmcnutt6551]

Thank you for showing us the beautiful nature that you get to enjoy. I'm learning some good tips regarding starting fires, and canoes, and the gear you use. Everet McNutt

[@diannaharrison5931]

Its nice to know we are all normal in forgetting a major thing. You teach him well. He even finds his own shelter!! What a beautiful peaceful place. You are lucky!!!

[@turks24]

Another great video Alexis! You are a trooper.

[@delicious_adventuresUA]

Beautiful nature. Great walk on the water

[@markbell1]

Oddly I haven't been getting notifications of your videos! Happy I thought to check!

[@debpinter4341]

Lighter canoe's are best way to explore. We're older folks and require a lighter canoe for backcountry camping. Glad to see you and Grizz out on a solo gig! Happy exploring Careena!

[@careenaalexis]

Thank you Deb!

[@debpinter4341]

@@careenaalexis awesome paddles too!

[@eisvogel8099]

That landscape is breathtaking. Wow! The surface of the lake is just like a mirror, really beautiful, thanks for sharing ;-)

[@guykaysaywaysemat1321]

Hey kiddo love the show my boy J is my camping buddy .......👍😎

[@jeanclaudeboutique6526]

I love your dog and your canot... nice trip girl... thanks for the video...

[@kiwdwks]

Always great to see you and Gris! Thanks for taking us along!

[@MrLooj69]

I love the fact that you went out with the intention to fish, forgot your Rod , but remembered to pack a Beer! Thats exactly the sort of thing I do. Great vid (but all the bugs would drive me bat shit crazy) and look forward to the next. All the best from the UK, Louis.

[@guubagaaba8391]

watching again , soo funny , you and your crazy dog !!!! (luv you both !!!! )

[@davidknight8172]

Grizz is one handsome dog. What a great life he has.

[@AppalachianAdventures8556]

Another good video, thanks for the visit. Les Stroud impression and show intro impression was spot on. lol. Good mixture of gear information and showing how much you enjoy the outdoors. I'm looking forward to the next one, Be safe

[@careenaalexis]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@brucemarcille3344]

Thanks, Alexis. Santa brought me my new Aleader shoes and I am sooo excited for the next trip to try them out. Keep the Algonquin vids coming. And all the best in 2021.

[@o0rogue0omurf55]

Another great video - thank you and Grizz for making me laugh! I appreciate your ability to quickly let go of something like forgetting your fishing rod and still being able to enjoy the day and sharing it with your viewers. Looking forward to the next adventure!

[@UrbanGrrl69]

At one point with the flies swarming it was like a Disney Snow White horror with the small creatures scene!. Really awesome canoe. Grizz found a good hideout. Shame about the fishing pole. I loved the Shirley Valentine ode to rock at the end.

[@renevandyk6638]

Alexis loves your truck Awesome

[@pashyn]

It was the les stroud bom chicka bom bom aaaahhhhhh theme song for me 👏🏽😁

[@jalexandr55]

Cool ViD! good for you getting out there!

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Awesome day on the lake. I carry an Altoids tin with about 50 feet of 3lb test, some sinkers, hooks and a couple of small floats. A fishing license is kept in a plastic credit card sleeve glued into the top of the Altoids tin. It's one tin of several survival tins which contain tinder, small ferro rods, char cloth, Bic lighters, votive candles, etc. These tins are stored in a small possibles pouch or ditty bag. A rod can be improvised using a slender tree branch or sapling. On a recent outing I caught some trout for dinner. That's because I left my food pouch on the door step at home.

[@gregorywalter4521]

Love watching Griz, He is always so happy and I understand the "zoomies" as I have an 8 month old puppy myself. I wish we had the amount of lakes here in Colorado you do in the north, I would be in my kayak all the time. Great vid's , also enjoy your canoe trips!

[@kenhoward3512]

I spent 12 years in Colorado, mostly in the '80s, and was always proud to be a resident of a place of such magnificent natural beauty.

[@margoburns9085]

I had to give up my canoe because of physical limitations...and my age, but I was so happy when my son suggested I could still get into the back country alone with my dog if I found a lightweight. Nothing better than being alone on a lake in the middle of nowhere, somewhere. Love your channel!

[@careenaalexis]

Absolutely!! The lightweight canoes nowadays are amazing!! Hope you can get out there again :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@iwuvmycolts]

This adventure didn't need a fishing pole. Great vid, Alexis!! Thank you!!

[@mskiUSMC]

I just found your channel the other day and Im diggin it. I love to watch these videos with my children, Corporal's Corner is my other goto.

[@lauroolivo5913]

Aunque no entiendo nada de inglés me encanta verla y sus videos si se aprende algo con tan solo ver cómo se desempeña en campamento. Alexis muchos saludos eres muy linda!!

[@franl5585]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your comments about the lightweight canoe echo how I feel about my 36 lb. kayak. I'm a 70 year old woman, 115 lbs., and it's great to be able to handle a kayak in and out of the truck and down to the water. Thanks, Alexis!

[@miked4027]

Love it @ 5:11 Grizz couldn't wait any longer so started to make his own way out!

[@marvingustavson321]

Ich mag die Videos von euch 🤩🤩🤩 sehr schöne Bilder

[@POW_RYDER]

I LOVE YOUR DOG!!

[@sarahspillman2570]

Thankyou for letting us come with you ! Was amazing to watch! ❤❤

[@careenaalexis]

Thanks Sarah!

[@user-David-Alan]

That was a beautiful lake, Thank for sharing. Be safe.

[@michaels.594]

She brings everything needed for a fishing trip except the fishing pole. Hello Alexis, You are my people! I do that stuff all the time. lol You did capture some beautiful summer scenery around the water, though. Looks like a great place for camping and hiking.

[@careenaalexis]

Haha it was a good excuse to just enjoy the water and paddling my new boat at the very least :)

[@renevandyk6638]

We love Gris close to the tree that got over so Cool

[@dawnreinhart2355]

Loved it!!

[@michaelsmith-wq7cf]

Nice to hear Grizz is healing and doing well. Take care you two!

[@guubagaaba8391]

keep watching you , can't get enough , goddamn crazy dog !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnganley2845]

That canoe looks awesome! I noticed you didn't forget your beer! You got your priorities. Some of those bugs looked like baby pterodactyls! Griz jumping over the canoe was funny.

[@ikeo8666]

she has such amazing control over her dog

[@aceitgard3695]

Ordered a original bug shirt based on ur recommendation, you're my expert!

[@MsTigerseye77]

This video is so inspiring. I like camping but I am afraid to go alone and to remote areas. I wish I was as brave as you.

[@leahroses]

love your videos! LOVE Grizz!

[@careenaalexis]

Thanks Leah!

[@AventurasPuraVida]

Greetings from Costa RICA . Beautiful lake excellent for fishing.👍

[@careenaalexis]

Pura vida 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@marjim8465]

I love you guys so much!

[@88woodbikes4]

Enjoyed the video, didn’t even miss the fishing. Thanks

[@jons7677]

Idea, keep a travel rod and reel, small tackle box or bag in your truck all the times. Couple questions about the canoe, weight limit, brand, and how stable is it. Love to live up there, I'd carry an arsenal of fishing gear in my truck. Thanks, that was so cool you had the lake to yourself, the landscape is so beautiful.

[@davidskowronski6618]

Sorry about the fishing pole, I have a feeling I'm going to laugh a few times today, every time I think about Grizz jumping over the canoe😂

[@timokeeffe8860]

What type of dog is that ?

[@Dadangandara]

Wow amazing friend, thank for share video

[@brentcunningham4662]

Thanks great vid.

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Enjoyed that video well done, Great intro love Les Stroud and he is the man

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

Thanks for another good vid.

[@nancymills5993]

Love your video’s. Especially because you and your husband are ethical, leave no trace, and enjoy the outdoors. Grizz as well. He is quite the dog. ❤️. I had a kayak then my son introduced me to a canoe. I was 69 and bought one on the way home from our trip on the Adirondacks. I love it and go as much as I can paddling and fishing. Going to the Adirondacks again this year and can’t wait!!

[@careenaalexis]

Thank you Nancy!!

[@kennycampbelljr5896]

The outdoor adventure of a Canadian supermodel and her dog.

[@jrodriguez8216]

👍👍 Really enjoyed the video and discussion and comments about the canoe activity. May need to get one. Please continue reviews on equipment you personally enjoy

[@bcoolson]

Day on the lake w/o fishing pole is still better than what 99% of us are doing! Be safe!

[@birdwatcherjean6293]

I invested in a light solo canoe so I can head out alone too, absolutely awesome! Love the freedom it provides.

[@jaycroyle8761]

I love it when Griz gets the zoomies, you know he's a happy dog when that happens. When i was just a little kid we were at a hunting cabin in Potter County Pa when after a 45 min trip to the stream a family friend (one of my dad's friends) just about to the stream starts laughing out loud saying "you guys aren't going to believe what i forgot", my fishing rod. So Careena, you aren't the only one. This video reminded me of that trip back in the late 1960's. Thanks for sharing!!

[@renevandyk6638]

Alexis vary Awesome Amazing Scenery

[@usedpizzabox03_47]

I love the paddles! They look so nice.

[@susannepatriot6264]

Thanks for including the link for the bug shirt. I just ordered one.

The look on your face when you found that brew in your back pack! That's a good feeling at the end of a hard day! Great videos Alexis!

It looks like Bush Craft Grizz made his own shelter. He looks to be very proud of it and wants you to proud of it too! I liked the Less Stroud intro

You are trooper!! You go girl 😊🤗😎
