THE MOST EPIC CAMPSITE WE’VE EVER BEEN TO! - DAYS 1 & 2 - SOUTH ALGONQUIN PARK CANOE TRIP! (4K)

[@ChrisProuse]

Hi everyone! We hope you enjoy the start to our new Algonquin trip series! Day two’s campsite stay was inspired by Park Ranger Jason Lorbetskie’s great blog post about it over on Ontario Parks’ website, and we’re also looking forward to sharing our favourite lake in the entire park coming up really soon in day three of the trip, which we’ve been enjoying for years but never captured on film until more recently in this series. Btw, for those who are looking for the 4K version of the video, it should be finished encoding on KZbin’s end any moment now, though the 1080p version’s good to go now if you’d like to enjoy that. As always, thanks so much for watching, as well as all your comments, likes, shares, and if you haven’t already, subscribing to help support our channel - we really appreciate it, and we look forward to sharing day 3 of the trip soon! -Chris, Julia & Cedar :)

Well done Chris, probably one your best ones. Hope the family is doing well. Cheers, Scott

Hi, I loved the intro and song on this one. You girls always make me want to camp. Thanks for sharing your peaceful adventures. Hope Cedar is doing well. Jacky

[@ThePracticalBeekeeperMelbourne]

from COVID lockdown here in Australia 2020 I would love to visit and escape into your wilderness. One question what was it you ate with the marshmallow?

[@AmyOutdoors]

Ok,so this is the fourth time I've watched this groups of videos, and I still live it 💙 This was the first video of yours I came across, and I fell under the spell of how much you love Algonquin! I hope you're able to share another canoe trip with Julia soon, love the dynamic you guys have!

These are some of the most beautiful and inspiring adventure films on KZbin. A really wonderful resource for a housebound British paddler during lock-down. Thank you so much for posting these delightful films.

[@michaellangfitt2077]

Your videos are better than any meditation app. Edits off the hook, cinematography beyond compare, and content that is pure bliss. THANK YOU for sharing your life with us.

You know you are addicted to coffee when you have to bring your french press with you to Algonquin, lol. Thumbs up!

Your music is beautiful. I cannot but help thinking that you two are going to make AWESOME parents. When I watch your videos here, I am always on the verge of tears. Good tears. Randy

[@ed_doadt]

I just watched this series again. Nancy and I did a lot of trips to Algonquin, but our trip along this route was one of our best! Thanks for the memories, Chris!

[@MikeWood]

That encounter with the exceedingly rare Algonquin Dire Wolf woke me up. :) Amazing footage and editing. You set the bar high and raise it each time.

Beautiful video - I had to watch it twice!!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks so much Linda! :)

[@jimfraser9898]

Love your videos and Algonquin Park! My first trip there was in 1965. Our family camped at Kearney Lake. I have the same 15 ft. canvass/cedar canoe made by Langford in about 1961 that I paddled as a kid!. It weighs quite a lot and I want to lift it as smoothly as you do! Prospector hull with keel. Woodwork is exquisite with cedar, cherry and others.

[@nathancamp6310]

In the Webster under; EPIC. Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Nathan! :)

[@ride-paddle-repeat]

Julia - reluctantly epic lol. Proceeds to crush devil's staircase. That's quite an awesome site, glad you referenced Lorbetskie's post (I'm hoping to find it as well on that lake). Great to see your videos again, high quality as always! Looking forward to the next one.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks so much! She's a trooper :)

[@tomjones7232]

Just watching your videos is very calming and relaxing. Thank you two so much for sharing. I love this stuff! Sincerely, Randy

[@1976DSCH]

Love, love, love your videos as always. OMG. That part 8:30 in early September was a disaster portage. One of our canoes had three people and gear and the water levels were so low that we had to find an alternative way to portage.

[@TrailguidePictures]

Great job as always Chris!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Jason! :)

[@barbvandentillaart8881]

Haha, glad to hear Mary! Thanks for watching :)

[@nevar108]

I grew up in that park and the surrounding areas. I live in BC now, and while it is beautiful here, it is definitely different. There is something about the places that you grow up in, that calls to you. Thank you for bringing on a certain kind of homesickness... it isnt a bad thing.

[@ChrisProuse]

Glad to hear - so true :)

[@biff3183]

That first portage out of Smoke Lake is an epic climb!

Thanks Leisha! :)

[@StefanVerstappen]

Loved it! When I worked as an out-tripper in the park, jessus 43 years ago!?, I did the Smoke Lake route several times. And I know the camp site. In those days, I would read from Lord of the Rings at night to my charges and that campsite seemed to fit the mood as enchanted forest. Can I guess you will finish by going down Head Creek to Lake of Two Rivers? That last day along the creek was always the best part of the run.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Stefan! Sounds like a wonderful route - we took a different one, though we’ll have to check out yours someday. That would be a fantastic place to read Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed Adam Shoalts’ book Alone Against the North along the same route years ago, about bear encounters / thunderstorms with lightning cracking not far outside our tent - I could barely put the book down that night :)

[@StefanVerstappen]

@@ChrisProuse Well I know I will love to watch whatever route you take. I remember a few thunderstorms like that. Lightening striking the lake just yards away. Scary but exciting! And who doesn't have a good bear story LOL

[@TheWhitePine5]

That dog was a good jumpscare lol. I'm thinking of doing this route next summer. Hope you guys crushed the Meanest Link and are doing well!
