- A late October solo in Algonquin that felt more like August!
Sights and sounds that we all love from deep into the season.
Definitely one of the best times to visit this beautiful park.

I just want to extend a sincere 'thank you' for sharing these experiences with myself and others. Even as someone who works in high-tech, I often feel i'm my own enemy by helping to cleave the divide even further between us and the natural world (something I hold to high value).
Its people like yourself, Shawn, Attenborough, and the many others who remind us that we share this planet and its ecosystems - its not ours. 4 billion years of history, hardships, and the perseverance of life has given us a true gem, and we should be utmost careful to not cock it up.
Thanks Jason.
Thanks and yes, the situation seems dire at times. I find it hard to think about. We are all guilty of complicity to some degree. High tech will have to be part of the answer invariably.
Beautifully done Jason - really enjoyed the pacing and energy in the edit. That's how to tell a great story 👌
Thank you.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome That is quite a compliment coming from Chris. You both have captivating camera work and editing skills.
you prolly dont care but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Kevin Alijah instablaster =)
@James Jamari thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
You are a great photographer, but even a better canoeist. On your knees, you are the power and the steering and the brakes. You even pan a few shots with your paddle to combine your two arts. Wonderful. I am so glad to have found your channel.
Thank you very much.
Feel like I just finished a canoe trip. Outstanding videography, really captures the mood & beauty of the Park. Thanks, needed that as we wait for the ice to melt.
Thanks Jamie. The wait is looking longer than we're hoping for.
That's great! Really enjoyed watching that! The itch for spring is real…
Indeed! These cold temps are hangin in.
So beautiful, I was almost in tears.
Thanks a lot Mark.
Enjoyed watching this early morning while drinking our coffee! ❤
Fantastic video. Appreciate both your sense of humour and your more serious moments. Thanks for bringing us along for your journey to this beautiful part of the park.
Thanks Andy
What a weekend of Tumblehome! So thankful of all your efforts to share your Algonquin adventures through video, images and sound. I rely on what I can find here and my own experiences outdoors to motivate me to create artwork that is meaningful to me and other like-minded people. Keep on sharing what you do and all the best this 2022 season.
Thank you Mike! Glad you find it inspiring.
Thank you. Brought back nice memories of Booth. You pick your shots well and edit them into a great presentation.
Thanks!
Awesome video skills Jason!! And solo too, which I know is alot of work to get the shots. You captured the fall colours and atmosphere very well. I very much appreciate the extra time and effort you spent making the video.
Thanks brother! Your videos are some of the best on YT IMO. I'm out there loafing around while you are informing and dropping science! Keep doing what you do my friend... it couldn't be more important.
I put off watching this until I had a day where I needed it. Your videos and editing always deliver. The early morning gravel roads and access points mixed with anticipation - the "it's good to be here/back" sense of arriving after travelling a bit on the first lake on the first day - the serendipity of arriving at places slightly forgotten: all familiar feelings. I lost it at the chili macaroni bit! I enjoyed the personal reflections while portaging. What a gorgeous trip. RIP Gord.
Thanks bud. Glad you enjoyed it.
Love this, heading to Booth next weekend with a good buddy, thanks for the sneak peak!
Another classic! Man you do such a great job capturing the serenity of the park, and its nice to see how much you appreciate it. I think you finally convinced me to do a solo trip, maybe in October... I would highly recommend doing your week-long loop from Cedar L. There is so much history up there and so few other people.
Thanks Ian. I will look in Cedar L loop for sure... have you done a trip vid of that loop?
Yeah, my 2015 trip videos. We did Cedar-Catfish-Burntroot-Hogan-Philip-Radiant-Cedar over 8 days. It was one of my favorite trips that we've done. We hardly saw or heard anyone else, and we definitely had a few lakes to ourselves. You could shorten that loop a few different ways too and have more down time.
I sTumbled upon your video on Rogers yesterday. I am so grateful for how beautiful it is and now I look forward to watching many more. It was perfect to watch as I do my morning peaceful and stretching time. So much talent and entertainment. Thank you.
THanks Marilyn! Glad you are enjoying them.
Wow. Just, wow. Thank you. Can’t wait to watch the rest. I share many of the same ideologies. A breath of fresh air my friend. Thanks again for sharing
Thanks a lot Casey... really glad you are enjoying it!
Love your enthusiasm. I've been in over a hundred times and its still exciting. Be safe.
Thanks Robert. You're right, it just never gets old.
Needed a little peace and serenity tonight. Rewatched this video. Nicely done Jason. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks Timothy. I'm glad you find it soothing :-) I'm pecking away the next vid... a Karma Moose 2 of sorts.
Just gorgeous - your videos capture the spirit of the place and the joy of canoeing like no other. Loved it! Keep paddling and film making, please!
I will do my best. Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for putting it together. 3 days is better than no days
I'll take any days!
Dude! great edit. this had some good soul. Great trip. Subscribed. Deserve more.
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Tell all your friends! :-)
I just got back from a really nice week long solo up in Big Trout area of APP... video in the works.
Nice work Jason! Nice little getaway with the great weather. Been in that area a couple times.
You make such beautiful videos. I've enjoyed every single one. Thanks for them :)
Thanks so much John. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Another amazing trip Jason! Great video! I am STOKED to get out on the water this spring!!!
thanks man!... we're all Jonesing!
HOW did I miss this???? Ok clicked the bell.
Its been a while since I relaxed to one of your journeys. Never get tired of seeing that beautiful boat slicing through the water.
Thanks Brother! I may have to skip the spring trip this year but I'll have the Carolyn Jane out and about a fair bit this fall.
"You never know when you might fall in the water." That is some great advice right there! Lol! Great video as always Jason! A nice little quiet trip into the park! October!!
:-)
I just subscribed to your channel from a link from Joe Robinet. I learned to paddle a canoe many years ago and am glad to see that you follow the older gold standard. Kneeling for better stability, and steering the lovely canoe without changing sides every few strokes. You know the strokes for the job. It's a joy to watch. I look forward to seeing many more of your trips. What a beautiful boat and thanks for sharing your family stories.
Awesome. Thanks Carol.
Lovely. First week of October is when we usually get our first snow. Often stays until breakup in the spring. When we were canoeing on the shield in the late 50's and early 60's we never boiled the water except for tea. We all had a cup and reached over the side when we were thirsty. A different experience then. Love your videos.
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the vids.
Another great video! Thanks again!
Beautiful video, thank you for taking the time to share it. Look forward to seeing your next trip however long it may be but you get that month out there some day.
Thankyou!
The fall colours look so stunning. Great video! 👍🏻
Thanks Laura. I missed the real blaze of late September but yes, I too was impressed with the muted tones of late October. I plan on booking some more late fall trips now.
Great video ! I think my love of canoe camping and photography is exceeded by yours.
You & River Kings are the two best paddling channels on YT. I don't even want to blink for fear of missing something.
Can't wait to get back home to Maine and get the first trips in.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the films.
This one felt a little more raw, a little more personal. No less magical so thanks for the work. It was -23 here last week so we may have to wait a little for the ice to go off some of our northern lakes but I can smell it in the air. Spring! Sounds like you had a tough few months back there so I'm hoping things are good now. Thanks for re-fueling my soul.
Glad you enjoyed it... and that it serves as soul fuel!
what you said during your portage was incredibly touching and close to the home...ty for sharing ..I submit this quote to you... "there's no wifi in the forest, but you will find a better connection"..
Thats a good quote!
Filming is great, story is great, editing is great, music is great. What a great trip that late in the season. Really related to the sleep deprivation. I sleep so well when camping.
Thank you!
The ambient music and editing of this video. Wow. You really captured the calm and feeling of the park. Hope you are still making videos. This one was amazing. Subscribed!
Thanks Mike. I'm still working away on vids but they do take me forever it seems. :-)... should have one out around xmas!
Always enjoy watching your exploits with canoe and paddle. Please keep up the good work. Wonderful imagery from a beautiful environment, best wishes from an envious Brit!
Thank you Stuart.
Truly enjoyable. Great work on the video. 😊👍
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!! Can't wait to sit down with this beauty tonight!
Thanks! I have finally subbed to the online mag!.. looking forward to the latest issue and past ones too.
I have been waiting for this!! 💕💕 but I am sorry to hear about the loss of your family members. I can relate; my father died when I was 32 and my mother when I was 41 😢 miss them every day and learned so much form them... but that is a part of life.... right
Love your videos and so glad you have someone in your life that brings you happiness... take care and don’t stop making these videos!! 😍 Love the Carolyn Jane
Thanks Lisa! Glad you enjoyed the vid and yes I will try to keep on making them.
Great video, Jason. I really enjoy watching them all. You do a bang-up job on editing, also. Beautiful scenery, some humor, and soft music make it seem magical. Keep it up.
thanks Tom.
Fantastic! Great trip & excellent video skills. Thats how I would like to travel. Thank you.
You're welcome. Thanks.
Just found your channel and subscribed. This was a great video. Awsome bass fishing in Booth lake. That is one beautiful canoe you have. Now I’m going to bing on more of your videos
Thanks Clifford!
My favs are Joe Robinet, Lost Lakes and now Tumblehome. I was already subscribed, but just rediscovered you with your new swift canoe video. I really liked it. You have a new fan.
Thanks so much!
I was intrigued when I saw Booth lake in the video title as it was the destination of my first trip into Algonquin. I was elated when you pulled up to the same island campsite as well. Great video and narrative. Cheers.
Thank you Mark! Great site!
Loved it! October is the best :)
Who said anything about October?
Tumblehome 🤪
Watching this again missing the north from our (son and I)11 day trip Temagami and my first trip in Algonquin ….great video love your videos Jason and thank you for this
Thanks man. 11 Days in Temagami is nice long stretch in the rugged bush!
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome was great met Alex Who toured us through old growth, sacred sites and Spirit Rock and as a bonus camped at my favorite most beautiful site up there Ranger Point on Lake Obabika was amazing I highly recommend….learned after my trip to Algonquin to Rock Lake and Pen Lake how beautiful am area that is and what a fine resting place for your mom good job
@@davesinclair617 Thanks Dave.
Really nice ( as usual ! ) and full of atmosphere. Makes me dream of my own upcoming canoe trips, the first one in 3 weeks. A downriver paddle of the Dordogne in France. The second one will be in july in Sweden.
You have terrific videos. So wonderful to watch. Congratulations 👏🏻
Thank you Sue.
Awesome Job Jason. Just loving your captures. Just waiting for the ice to leave the lakes. I'm all geared up and ready to go. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!... Look like spring has come so won't be long now.
Yeap Fired up the hog yesterday for a little trip around the block, felt great. Take care.
What a beautiful story about your Family wish we could all keep our Folks around longer, and great Filming Jason !
Thank you!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you David
Your trip is making me ache for some good old Fall tripping. I’m back in the woods in a few days taking the same route.
Nice! Haven't been through there in a while but I'm looking at a long fall solo and thinking about starting in Booth or possibly passing through. Beauty of a lake.
Just pausing on where you talk about Joe, I found your channel because of his shout out to you in that video of his. Love your channel, superb camera work. I'll get over there from the UK one day, maybe even to live.
Awewsome. Thanks man. Lots of room over here!
Thanks Jay another great video cheers 👍🇨🇦
No problem. Thanks for coming along.
Just fabulous thank you
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. Lots of work to piece that together. Really enjoyed it.My dad and I were up there around the same time. Crazy heat wave...for...you know. October.
Thanks a bunch. Those temps were a treat.
Great video. I also am a big fan of Karma Moose and the Sunbeam Dreams series. I have been watching them with my 9 year old and now she wants to go to Algonquin!
Great to hear!
Yessssss! Ty ty!
Thank you.
Great Video brother! Really well done. Nothing like that solitude...
Thanks Troy.
OK I watched it again just to be sure.. confirmed excellent. Need more. Really great.. thanks again. I am not sure what it is in your vids but I get that same feeling of connection to everything that I do when I am in nature alone.. a quiet warmth. Any time or any way I can connect to that I am grateful. Ty
Thanks for the kind words!
Fantastic!
Thanks!
Your welcome and heat felt THANK YOU.
Best channel ever!!!!
ha! thanks brother.... still putting them to sleep! ;-)
Tumblehome watching now on the 55” 4K. Joe is how I found you. Losing Gord was a sad sad day. Even for us northern states dwellers. This is a good primer for paddling the Adirondacks later this month, if the freeze ever let’s go.
Yeah he was a nutty cool fellow who had that amazing ability to let it all hang out on stage. I only ever saw him live once but it was a real eye opener.
Glad its serving as a primer... thats half of why I make these little vids.
Sorry for your loss my friend.
Thanks for the tip about the permit office later in the year being closed.
thanks!... Yeah glad I stopped in at the main office. That really would have been a bummer having to track back for a permit
I watched Joe robinette's clips as well this is fantastic I got the fast pace with Joe and I got the slow pace with you wow this is awesome I feel now I have the full package
Great job Jason, thank you for sharing. I'm surprised the campsite on booth was a windy as it was, thought perhaps the back side of that island would be protected? Lot's of blue jays making their presence known. :0) I'm heading to booth this spring ,2019 . Thank you for taking me there. Bob
Thanks Bob!
Fantastic vid brother.
Thanks!
Great video, really enjoyed it!
Thank you John!
that pine tree at 34.11 just pops out of the screen excellent filming cheers jimmywaynelake
Thanks. Yeah that tree was pretty cool!... I just let that shot ride and the Go Pro did a good job of keeping it steady (that time anyway)
Was there last week - stayed at the campsite at 47:00 - it was very nice. Highly recommended.
That's a nicely done video. I'll be in Algonquin in a couple months!
Thanks Dave. Algonquin rarely disappoints!
Hey Tumblehome. Great videos! Very peaceful and reminds me of the time I go up every year to north bay at lake Talon. My father actually works with you at CBC and showed me your channel. I'm looking into getting a drone myself
Thanks! Who's your dad?
Tumblehome Rob Poisson. Editor
What an awesome video! I would second the Cedar Lake loop. I did a 5 day loop last summer with my daughter. Same route that Troy showed on his Maddy the Goose channel last year.
Thanks man. I'm going to look into that trip for the fall.
Dude.. more, please!!
workin on one now!
Headed to Booth Lake Wed-Fri of Labor Day week, enjoyed the video!
Nice! I was just looking at that area on the map... eyeing up a fall trip :-)
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome this will be my first time visiting Algonquin and will be picking up a new Swift canoe as well. Hope you will get out this fall, life has been hectic on this end. Really enjoy your adventures. Hope you and your family are well, cheers!
Thanks Joe, You'll feel right at home in APP! I just did an overnighter into Burnt Island Lake with my son... fantastic 2 days. Lots of wildlife... and campers too :-) Enjoy the new boat!
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome that sounds wonderful glad you and your son had a nice time. Sunbeam is on my eventual to do list.
Wow great video! Glad I stumbled upon you channel.
Thank you!
My favorite place is Rock lake and the Galeairy Lake dam. There used to be a railway that followed north of Galeairy Lake. You can actually see where the railway went on google maps. My father was on that train when he was a young boy. The train was steam powered. My fathers ashes are spread in Canoe Lake in the park.
Wow thats crazy. I put some of my moms ashes in Penn lake.
It’s been about 5 years since I’ve been to Algonquin. I’ve move from New Jersey to Florida. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get back next summer.
Was hoping for another video from you by now. Any plans for future trips? Really enjoy your trips.
Thanks Richard. I should have a new vid about the latest fall solo trip... out around xmas or new years. I love making them but have trouble finding the time.
Just found your videos. Enjoyed this one a lot. You can count one more subscriber. I’m in Virginia and agree with your comments regarding doctor assisted death. We’ll get to that option eventually. Great video, thanks.
Thanks so much Richard. Assisted death is tough one for sure but I really believe its time has come.
Nice work!
Thanks Fredrik!
Watching with my 9 year old daughter. When you took a bath, she says, "and that's how you loose 100,000 subscribers" and then left the room!hahaha!
oops! Hopefully she's not been put off camping!
great trip peace
THank you
Hey.... awesome vid! Really enjoyed it.
Did the extract same trip just a couple of months before you shot yours.
We were having breakfast there and a mink literally jumped over our feet with a mouse in his mouth!
Told my wife you have a new video out ... and she got positively giddy.
Love the camera work you do .... but I gotta say it’s hard hearing your wife say every 5 minutes..”he’s a really good looking guy .... isn’t he?” I just nod my head yes ...in the hopes that I can actually hear your audio!!
signed The Ugly Camper
Ha Ha. Are you sure your wife is watching Tumblehome vids? Must be Shawn James vids she's talking about! Yeah that mink was a curious little fellow. I figured that the spot I stopped at was possibly where folks would clean fish away from their site, and maybe the mink thought he was going to get.a free meal.
Just watching this for the second time as I’m planning a trip to Booth in August . Where on the lake was the campsite you stayed on ? It looks awesome. Thanks for sharing 😊
Just found your channel and subscribed. Lovely video so far, still watching, great videography. Is all the video footage on the GoPro as it looks crisp?
Hi there. Thanks! Yes the footage on the GP is crisp / sharp (its the H6)
I do find that RUclips compression does horrible things to all my vids!
I guess you have to have a certain amount of subs before they let you have higher quality vids :-(
Amazing video. Would like to see how you rigged up your gopro for the amazing water level / off boat shots.
Thank you. I have an 4 ft aluminum pole that I brace / tie across the canoe and then I mount the go pro on the end / upside down so that its closer to the water.
Jason, checked in to see what you have been up to and realized I hadn’t seen this video yet. Well done! Also did you build the Carolyn Jane (spelling) and what are her specifications. Making preps to build a canoe and I really like the lines on yours! Happy Holidays!
Thanks!. The Carolyn Jane was built by an uncle of mine when he was a lot younger... his first of many kayaks and canoes. He sold it to an American cottager who became ill not long after. It was used two or three times over a 30 yr period... sat under a cottage for all those years. My Uncle bought it back for cheap when the man sold his cottage and he then let me have it for a song!
Life is short,plan a trip with your kids. They will never forget it!
Yes for sure! It gets harder to organize as they get older but its always worth it.
Your pack is that a portage pack ? What is the make brand ? Thanks for the videos please keep them coming.
Great vid Jason , thanks for brining us along . What month did you go again?
I can't remember the exact month but I'm reasonably sure it was sometime in and around October.
So nice. great job on putting this together. Can you share how you attach your camera to the canoe when you're paddling and portaging?
Thanks. I bring a 5ft narrow piece of aluminum with me and mount it a few different ways on the boat. (also a selfie stick!)
I have holes in the bow and stern to mount the pole vertically, and I also mount put the pole across the gunnels to get the cam out to the side. Thats the short version ;-) I plan on doing a little vid about it at some point.
I stumbled across your video today. Beautiful canoe trip. Such a down to earth guy. Living in Florida all my years I dream of a journey like this, thank you for taking me along. It was awesome! You have a new subscriber. Also did you build your ceader strip canoe? Thanks again.
Thanks Richard. Thanks for subbing! I didn't build my cedar strip. It was built by my uncle, his first. He purchased it back from someone he'd sold it to and then he passed it to me. I would like to build one some day though! I just purchased a lightweight solo boat that I'm very happy with... I should have a vid out soon about its maiden adventure.
When you retire you will be moving closer to the park I’m sure. I certainly would. . Cheers thanks.
I'm up in Barrie already :-)... a bit closer now and I avoid the dreaded HWY 400 stretch between here and Toronto.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome Growing up we had a cottage east of Stroud on Lk Simcoe. We loved that lake that was 70 years ago. I can’t believe how much it’s changed down there. 😳. But my favourite place was living north on Lk Superior. Rivers all over and the fishing was amazing. The wife and l were on the water every chance we got. What great memories. Now we are on Lk Huron it’s ok but it’s not like Superior. My wife is from Wiarton that’s why we are here. 🙄 cheers 👍🇨🇦
Wow! WHAT A GREAT PRODUCTION. AMAZING! I am definitely going to go to this park. Can you tell me what camera/model you used?
Thanks Brian, I was using a Hero 6 and a Canon 6D mkII
Hey looks like an awesome trip. What's the make, model and weight of your canoe?
A great post Masters surprise! Another fantastic video Jason. When was this trip btw?(-:
I'm getting old, repeating things a lot... :-) ... :-(
October................. had to do it
Sorry Jason...what time of year was this trip again??? :-) Great video as always. Thanks for putting it together. I enjoy the quiet yet haunting background music. Perfect touch especially for the time of year.
Thanks!
Nice video! What extended mount were you using for the views from over your shoulder/head?
Thanks. I have an aluminum pole that I can rig vertically to the bow, stern or over the side. The mini tri-pod I use has a velcro strap to attach to poles etc.
