Tim Lake ALGONQUIN PARK - Solo Canoe Camping - Part 1 - Snorting Otters

[@sandytrimble5081]

Listening to the loons on the lake is so relaxing and beautiful to hear.

[@CamperChristina]

One of my favorite sounds for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

[@johnt.1364]

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much John. I love getting your comments. Cheers!

[@ritawilson8762]

Great videography of you canoeing on the misty water.

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you. It’s my favourite part of the video, other than the otters, and I am extremely proud of it because it’s a bit difficult to do solo. thank you for the great comment. Cheers!

[@KartsHuseonica]

I enjoyed your pre-trip food and drink preparation tips.

[@CamperChristina]

Oh yeah. Thank you. I was actually debating taking that out. I appreciate you commenting on that. And thank you for watching my videos Karts. I really appreciate it. 😊

[@chrishengeveld6117]

You go Girl!! Watching now.👍

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you

[@claudiabutler5902]

Really beautiful footage, Christina! Nice job!

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you Claudia 😊

[@linozovich4840]

Hot damn! Thank you!

[@CamperChristina]

Hahaha you’re welcome. Cheers

[@brianj9635]

Tim river / lake is one of our favourites too!! Sure miss that park. Thank you for bringing us along so we could share. Also - phenomenal (piano) music choice after your otter impression (haha) was perfect with your beautiful shots of you in the canoe.

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much Bryon. It is so good to hear from you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m also glad you enjoyed my choice of music. It is always one of the hardest parts of creating a video Imo. Hope you’re both well. Cheers!

[@heathergraham5566]

Gorgeous video of you in the mist! Love it.

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you. I really appreciate your comment as being alone, it’s a lot of work and very time-consuming to create that type of video. But I enjoy it a lot as well. Cheers.

[@sallychaffe8433]

Such a stunning morning!

[@CamperChristina]

Wasn’t it though? Thanks Sally

[@LS-ot4ho]

NICE! It already seems like forever since our August canoe trip, only 11 months to go till the next one! WWAAAAAAAH!

[@CamperChristina]

There’s always winter camping ! 😊😊😊

[@sueleon8102]

Great site & man that was awesome moon. That Gatorade bottle is getting lots of use 🤪! Just loved the snorting otters and your impressions 😂. The next morning was epic Algonquin, great mist, sun, music & you canoeing ❤. Great shots this video, plus the moon shadows ❤. Great work, thanks 👏🏻

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much Sue. I greatly appreciate you checking out the video and taking the time to comment. I love all the observations you make when watching my videos. It delights me to know that things are being noticed that I hope people are seeing. Cheers!

[@Hatch61]

Thanks for bringing us along, I got a kick out of the otters. We have a local river, The “Weweantic”, you can always see otters there. Be well my friend.

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you hatch. Cheers

[@HeinzPeekhaus]

Nice love ur videos keep making them lol

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you. I’ve got almost 600 of them. Hope you enjoy them. Cheers!!

[@cheechak481]

@CamperChristina... really like your down to earth videos and the fact that you are not focused on promoting products like so camping channel types are doing .... I seldom waste time, by watching those channels. Cool shadow pics. ... I have always worn a toque when in my sleeping bag, summer, winter or fall. One more thing, beavers on some occasions have actually attacked when approached too closely. Would not want an enraged beaver in my canoe. ✌

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words. On my very first backcountry camping trip in 2001, I actually had an incident with a beaver and I am extremely cautious around them because of it. They are not very friendly creatures and I often tease about how they are one of Canada‘s iconic animals like geese, who are also very angry nasty creatures. Cheers

[@richardtheoret2678]

Sea gulls can be quite aggressive too if you get too close to the young ones.

[@jaysway2346]

Nice video Christina, you eat better meals camping than I do at home.

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you Jay. I eat better meals camping than I do at home as well. I have to keep everyone entertained and on their toes. Cheers !

[@suezaple4950]

Another gorgeous lake and camp spot wow that is a fat Chipmunk yes i wouldn't feed him either he has to survive the winter. alone. Epic moon lite sky love how it reflects on the water always nice to see. I always love to see otters', yes their cute so are their crazy antics' when the see people , along with all their bobbing up and down watching you lol. Love the shot of you fishing in the mist. Looking forward to part two.

[@CamperChristina]

Yay!!! Thanks sue. Love your comments.😘😘😘

[@suezaple4950]

always enjoyable

[@HeinzPeekhaus]

U are so brave going out like u do solo. Not a lot of women would

[@CamperChristina]

Lol. I’ve been solo tripping since 2015. It’s completely normal for me and my preferred method of travel. 😊

[@paavoviuhko7250]

I like the gentleness of this video and the subtle music. Beautiful initiation into the higher offering of a woodland venture. I am in tune with the teaching.

[@CamperChristina]

Wow! Thank you so much Paavo. 😊😊😊

[@camillerott6677]

So peaceful & comforting. Beautiful moonlight sky.

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you Camille.

[@camper69]

Your campsite looks very familiar. When overnight camping was closed, a friend & myself paddled the Tim River to Tim Lake, had lunch & hammock time on that site before paddling back out.

[@CamperChristina]

Cool! I like that site because it’s so close to the river. Cheers

[@sharonmccue5969]

Thank you for another inspiring video. I think my trip destination planning list just got longer. And your otter imitation LoL. No end to your talents.😂

[@CamperChristina]

Hahaha. Thank you so much. I had one when I was doing a day paddle at the massasauga and I would snort at it and it would snort back at me. I think my imitation has gotten much worse though. Lol. Cheers

[@sharonmccue5969]

@@CamperChristina LoL, I've been known to scare some creatures off with my "hello, nice to see you" impersonation of various backcountry wildlife. My heart is in the right place but ...they just shake their heads 🤦

[@winnguyen443]

Your so right about the wildlife in that part of Algonquin. Great to hear it’s still like that. It’s been 30 years since I’ve been on Tim Lake! Solo canoeists have always been my hero’s. I’ve never done a trip solo. Maybe it’s still not too late for me! LOL.

[@CamperChristina]

It sounds like it might be time for you to be your own hero. My suggestion would be to go somewhere very simple where you have cell service and are familiar with the area. If I can assist in any way, please feel free to send me a DM. Cheers

[@richardwildeman1267]

Awesome video Christina, just loved the otters! And that's so freaky with the squirrel swimming to the island, I never knew they did this! And what's even more bizarre is Jason Eke just posted a video a few days before you, in which a chipmunk swam past in front of him, what a crazy coincidence!! Sorry I've slacked off on commenting, I know how important that is for the KZbin algorithm, but we've started watching your videos through the Apple TV device on our TV in the Livingroom lately, so we can't like and comment there. But I'll try my best to remember to do so later on my computer. Cheers!

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much for making the extra effort. It means a lot to me and I love getting your comments. I had no idea about Jason‘s video. That is pretty cool and super random. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers!

[@Karen-dq8nw]

The early bird sure does get the worm! Great wildlife sightings and good on you for getting out of bed to go see them!

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you Karen. Cheers

[@dorispursell48]

Another great video! Beautiful shot of the moon. Otters are so fun to watch.

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much Doris. Cheers

[@mlotschek01]

A gorgeous little campsite, dinner looks fantastic and I imagine it tasted great! I always love when you can camp during a full moon, you almost don't need a headlamp 😁

[@CamperChristina]

You’re right. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

[@nancymckenna3828]

Another great video, I’m still so impressed with your solo camping! 💪💪 and loved the early morning scenes on the river!! 😊

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much Nancy. This September actually marks seven years since my very first solo trip. I still love it just as much as the first time, but I am way more comfortable with it now. Thank you for checking out the video and taking the time to comment. Cheers!

[@beckyhay4878]

Lol you're so funny. We were on the French river and we had an otter doing that to us as well. Too cute.

[@CamperChristina]

😘😘😘😘

[@alexs3447]

Tim R !!! Now that's my neck of the woods.Can you find the places to fish?

[@CamperChristina]

Hahaha probably not !!! You know me. Lol.

[@sueenyedy]

Love your videos Christina! And the moon and sun were magical for you this trip! Love the otters too ... Tim Lake is on my wishlist for the backcountry next year :)

[@CamperChristina]

Thank you so much Sue. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!

[@nitakampijan9816]

Could I ask you if that was a map of Algonquin printed on a fabric? Was it a shirt a blanket? And where can I buy one like it? You have a great channel. 6:10

[@CamperChristina]

I’m so sorry but I have no idea what you’re referring to. I definitely do not have a map of Algonquin printed on fabric and would have no idea where to get one. Sorry.
