Walking In The Clouds - Adventure in Algoma Country
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
- A four day backcountry canoe trip in and around Mississagi P.P. We hit a mix of park land and crown land, ultimately hiking up and spending our last night on top of Old Baldy. Rugged portages, pretty lakes, unexpected solitude, magic misty mornings and stunning starry nights during the new moon. I see now why people refer to this as one of Ontarios best kept canoe camping secrets!
Enjoy, and please pass a link along to anyone whom you think may also appreciate it!
Special thanks to Jordan Walmsely for the map, Douglas Coomer for his article "Go With The Flow" as seen in Silent Sports Magazine.
And a most special thanks to my wife and kids for allowing me the time away to do these soul restoring trips into nature.

Another masterful offering, Jason! Your photography and filmmaking is always superb, and I love the region you two chose to explore - I’ve been exploring the Mississagi region in recent years, and it is magnificent! I paddled this route in 2020 and loved every second. Great stuff!
THanks so much. Yeah, beautiful country up that way.
The sandhill crane is my favourite sound when I hear it, you are absolutely right it is definitely one of the most prehistoric sounding Birds I've heard yet
What a wonderful trip to watch. So refreshing to see canoeists still using the proper canoe paddle, thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I tried a double blade a while back... not sure if its for me or not!
How have I not come across this channel until now?! This has got to be my most favorite canoe tripping video on RUclips now!! I've become quite infatuated with the Algoma district, it truly is "god's country". Top notch production and hilarious banter, love it!
Thanks so much! I'm just about to put out a vid about a 6 day loop in Algoma from last fall. Cheers.
Another beautiful video. Love the photos mixed in with the video. You take some great pics. Great time of year to paddle. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Nice work as always.
Thanks guys!
Better than any Netflix series! Masterpiece Jason, masterpiece. Wish you do many many more trips and treat us with your work of art. - Atis
Thanks Atis! Really glad you liked it.
Old Baldy sure did not disappoint! Spectacular views and campsite!🏕🌥🛶Another awesome film, well done Jason🍻
Thank you! 🍻
Watched for third time, so much there it still seems almost new. Thank you both for everything involved.
Thanks! I love hearing about repeat viewings 🙂
Amazing video Jason, thanks for taking us along on this epic & beautiful trip! The best was the footage above the clouds on Old Baldy, simply gorgeous! Cheers from Germany 😃
Thank you! I wish I could have spent a few days up there 😁
WOW what a fantastic video beautiful scenery from the top of Bald Mountain great photography all in all superb
Thank you Margaret. Beautiful country!
The proverbial 3 matcher is classic with 1/4 century footage for context. Love it.
Thanks!... It's frightening that it was that long ago
Another beautiful film. Thank you.
NP! Thank you for checking it out.
The wait is finally over. You've been teasing us on Insta for a week, and when I saw your post this morning, I booked off my 4pm off.
Your videos never let us down; they always inspire us to visit these places. Love Scott's psychedelic T-shirt.
We stayed on Lake Louisa last fall on the same campsite you did (we chose that after seeing your video Karma 2), so THANK YOU!! That was the best campsite on that lake.
Keep these videos coming.
Oh, and another channel whose video quality is growing on me. It's great to see your comment here.
@@andybrown9657 Thanks Andy
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it. I am just catching up on your videos now... just checked out your rainy Louisa trip. Beauty.
Beautiful place and trip. Glad to see you back. I was beginning to worry! Hope there are many more to come.
Thanks Carol.
Amazing videography! You capture the most stunning and beautiful scenery! My wife and I only just found your videos yesterday and binge watching them now 🙂
All of them getting a 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
WOW!!!! Another amazing unique video from one of my favourite channels.. THX!!!
Thanks Ian, glad you enjoyed it.
Wow, I kept saying ‘You gotta be kidding me’. Exemplary videography, story, and editing. This has to be one of your most memorable trips ever? The setting, the weather, the colour, the terrain, etc. Thank you for letting us come along, and your sense of humour Tumblehome!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for all the kind words.
Couldn’t be a better time for you to drop a video. You are literally getting me through the dog days of winter. Thanks for posting these videos so I can mentally be in the backcountry! Cheers 🍻
Thanks Alan.
Your videos are joy to watch, thank you!
🙂
I'm laying in the cardiac unit of the local hospital hoping I'm healthy enough to do a French River trip in May. I already have 7 stents (4 procedures), and so far have followed each event with an outdoor adventure. Good video. I'm jealous.
wish you speedy recovery and wish you many many trips!
Thanks so much for commenting. I wish you a speedy recovery!
I cherish each of these trips as you just never know which will be your last.
You'll be out on the water in no time!
I was so happy to see this video!!!!! Can honestly say I understand your love of OUR North and photography.I am subscribing and hope to see more of your fabulous artistry , talent and humour. 🇨🇦
Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying it. 🍻
My family had an Island on Lake Temagami. We are so blessed to live in this country. Cheers!
@@Crap873 Indeed!
What a fantastic video Jason. What great videography and photography skills you have. Thanks again for sharing your passion.
Np... Thanks and glad you enjoyed it.
Thank-you for sharing.
Anytime. Thanks
Brilliant Jason , thanks for making my day .
THanks Mike!
The time lapse at 108 30 is amazing. Well done!
thanks! so many satellites!... couldn't believe it when I looked at on the big screen first time.
Nice trip Jason! It's a route I did many moons ago, so it brought back a lot of memories. (We did the loop trip) The view from the 'mountain top' was insane. I love being up high and the corresponding views. Glad you guys went up there to experience that. Much enjoyed! 👍🏻
Thanks man! Yes that view is something else.
Every time I watch one of your films I’m inspired to spend more time on trips setting up shots, taking more video, doing time lapse, etc. Then I get out there, realize my limitations and say to myself “Screw it….just paddle and leave the film making to the pros like Tumblehome!” As always, beautiful work. I’d love to paddle with you some day and see how you do it…spring day trip on the Nottawasaga? Cheers.
THanks Doug! This spring is pretty full for me but I will keep it in mind.
Enjoyed it…thanks for putting together a great ride..
Thanks Sean.
Holly feck boyzz, fabulous, your weather was dialled in! Ol baldy didn’t disappoint either, great vid and a new bucket list trip for me, I gotta climb ol baldy, thank you for sharing,, , Bob
Thanks Bob... you can easily see the route online. Flack lake is part of Mississagi PP and ol Baldy Trail is at the West end of the lake... approx 2 hr paddle from Flack Lake Picnic area at east end of the Lake.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome awesome, thank you sir, 🏕 are we camping yet?
Now that made my day a lot better. It brings some sanitary to all the crazy things happening these days.
Thanks Jason and Scott
BB
Thanks a bunch.
I love the 'no set agenda'.. it's like you had me at hello - hunkerin' down to watch this with a nice drink or two. thanks for helping February be awesome.
yeah I'm usually the planning type but we sort of winged it and it turned out great!
Excellent video (again). Been to flack so many times. But it’s been a few years (5) since I’ve been back. My son caught his first lake trout off the shoals opposite the (seal’s) cabin you padded by after baldy. Such a beautiful place, and yes a place to ground in solitude. Thank you. Will Deff return this summer.
That is awesome! Thanks.
I really enjoy your videos. Your filming style and narration is very enjoyable. Relaxing.
Thanks so much!
Jus spectacular 😍👌
I can't tell you how jealous I am of that beautiful country of yours an all that space you have to roam 😭😂
Thank you! 😃 Big country for sure! I've barely scratched it.
Another work of art, those slow fire to long exposed starry night transition's are awesome and a sugar shack hat tip to the idea hatcher!
Hi Jason. Fantastic images on this one. You're darn handy with the camera and editing, my friend. I did that loop in early July as a solo trip. Those lakes are gorgeous, making all the portages worthwhile ... Not to mention the libations to ease frustrations. ;) Thanks for sharing.
THanks!
Been saving this for the right night so as not to fritter it away. I never expected to see phasers on a canoe trip but I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Hope to see a reference to it in 24 years if not sooner. That was a trip man, wonderful as always.
Pew! Pew!... Thanks buddy. Too bad we won't meet up this March but another time for sure.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome for sure 🔫🔫
Wrapped it up beautifully. Truly lucky to be Canadian 🍁
Indeed. Thank you.
I think it was awesome of you to give beanies/touks to everyone there at the Rendezvous of RUclipsrs. (Good advertising). Great camaraderie.
Nice video , great work . I'm moving to Elliot Lake this summer . weeeeee . I can't wait to explore and in the winter too
Thanks! That'll be awesome living up there.
Thank You Jason. Can't wait to watch it!
Ok! I enjoyed it. Those time lapse star pics- very nice. Great editing and music.
Thanks Christopher!
Beautiful work Jason - including the score! Is there no end to your talents?! Love the “chirping” (Have you been watching too much Letterkenny in lockdown?) Top tip for ya. 50 year old knees don’t like hills and big packs. Get some telescopic walking poles. Can use to prop your tarp up, go pro mount and your knees will thank you! I speak from experience! Use them now so you can still do those hills in 20 years time….😁
Great advice!!
Good tips! I just got a set of poles for snow shoeing, maybe those would fit the bill? A better hiking pack would do too... that one I had is a frameless canoe unit. We could have packed a bit more sparsely as well :-). ... needed that extra flask etc.
Minute 33 was an incredible shot.
Thanks bud!
Epic, Nuff Said 🤘
THanks buddy!
A breathtaking video once again!!! Thanks for sharing Mr. Irwin!!!
Thank you Gord!
Wow, its been 6 months so I sure hope you had some summer trips that we can look forward to soon!
I have yet to go out this season! :-(. I have a couple trips planned this fall though... and soon will put out a vid from a trip last fall.
What a nice surprise on a random February afternoon...
THanks!
yesssssss your back
Well this is a nice suprise 👍
Thank you!
I think the best i see from you
🙏
Cheers!
Outstanding work! I just love the creative transitions, the intermingled images and the stunning time lapses. The area itself is new to me. Looks like it has a lot going for it, low traffic, interesting scenery and plenty of variety. Towards the end you comment on, effectively, the privilege we have of enjoying the immensity and grandeur of such places. That is feeling I often experience as well on backcountry trips. We are incredibly lucky! Works such as this are a great reminder that we can’t taken such places for granted: we need to protect them! Cheers Jason! (Ron).
Thanks a lot Ron! We certainly have the opportunity to range out! ... easy to take it all for granted.
The view from the top was so worth it! I ended my last trip that way and it was a great moment. Outstanding filming once again my friend. Always showing the absolute beauty of canoe camping! 👏
Thanks man! I'm looking to do some later fall trips... was just watching your vid now with the frozen pond! Crazy town!
Hey nice trip, you filmed it very well! Love the phaser pistol you found with the neat video effects, funny. Very true words you spoke at the end about being connected without having to think of what your doing.
Thanks Donald! Yes great words... Check out the full article by Douglas Coomer in Silent Sports Magazine (on line) Very interesting.
Beautiful……
Thanks Jim
Another stellar production by Tumblehome! +1 for the phaser! Sending love from Ottawa!
Thanks! Should have hung on to the phaser...
Right on dude. I already can't wait for the canoe season that is right around the corner.
I feel ya!
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome Totally. Do you guys ever get rods in the water?
What can I say? Absolutely amazing!
THanks! Glad you liked it!
Man I love your videos Jason. After the day I had this is the best way to unwind and look forward to my next trip thank you for this
NP Dave. Thanks for watching buddy.
Another inspiring visual masterpiece from Tumblehome. Everything from the timelapses to the perfect light and choice of music were so immersive. I always drop what I'm doing when one of your videos appear. I'm looking forward to more of your videos from the upcoming paddling season.
Thanks a lot... glad you are liking the vids. Cheers!
Yes sir. Look forward to more.
hey man, glad to have a new vid,, thanks for sharing , Bob
THanks Bob!
Unbelievable canoe art. Mastered what most others are striving for. I really like your take on drones. Although since Ive heard that position, it’s all I think when I see those shots. Anyway great vid once again man.
THanks!
No problem. Your work speaks for itself.
Epic trip Jason! Gotta add that one to my bucket list.
Thanks Larry. Beauty spot indeed, and we just scratched it really. That loop through the Blind River portions looks amazing.
Well done
Thanks!
I’d love to get into photography and film making, watching you work your magic is inspiring. Problem is, like you have the “photo bug”, I’ve got the same problem with a fishing bug and ain’t got time for messing around with camera gear.
Seeing the old footage mixed in to your work is always great to see, gets me reflecting on my own experiences. Thanks as always your fantastic work.
Fishing bug here too, Tumblehome makes me wish I opted for a swift tripping canoe instead of my hobie fishing kayak!
@@parl9731 Get both!
Thanks! I love fishing but just find I don't have the time and patience... I like watching other people fish. How weird is that?
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome definitely on my wishlist!
Hey Mister,
Damn fine to see your “newest”video
Must say that the scope & nature of your RUclips videos are unparalleled by your peers.
Why are your videos as scarce as hens teeth ?
Quality V/S Quantity
Thanks so much. I just don't get out that often, maybe 3 or 4 times a year if I'm lucky. I spend loads of time putting them together as well... labor of love :-)
Wow what a great trip. Beautiful scenery all the way. I was wondering about your roof rack set up. I also have a pick up and have been playing around with the best approach to securing a canoe. It looks like you have a pretty unique set up, I would love to hear more about it. Thanks, and keep it up with the great content!
Thanks! That set up on Scotts truck works pretty well... bit of a combo / Back Rack + rear T bar that goes into the hitch + some 2x6's. :-)
You got German chocolate in the camera bag 👌🏻👌🏻
Gotta bring some Lindt!
Yes we are the chosen people to live in Canada and be canoeists! I believe our national identity is tied to the vast expanse of Crownland and our right to use it.
I need some more Crown land in my life.
Amazing video as always. The solitude must have been incredible considering how many people are camping in these Covid days. Might have to reedit your soaker experience as there seemed to be some loud audio issues😜….
Yeah sorry about all the salty language... you can take the boy out of the Navy but you can't take the Navy out of the boy :-). We were both shocked by the lack of other trippers... we saw one lone kayaker on the way out, thats it!!
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome Hey same thing happens when i go out with my friends. When there are no wives or children the language tends to get more profane. Just have to try and remember sound travels much better over water…. Sorry to all fellow campers….
@@douglasbegbie1013 totally... I think back to when I first camped in my teens and I shudder to think of how are voices carried
I also have one of those phasers. Slightly smaller but better looking. Pjew Pjew pjew.
he he... that was a large one.
space to roam...
Indeed!
Fantastic video Jason. The area looks a lot more friendly when the black flies aren't chomping on you non stop haha. That site on Samreid is just gorgeous. Glad you got to experience it. Were you guys using the Bushbox Lf? How are you liking it? Beautiful transitions and time-lapses as usual. Your creativity is inspiring. Can't wait for the next one.
THanks Adam! I think that was Scotts stove...same as mine but the Titanium one. So much lighter... I should have got the same one.
That lake is pretty one... really surprised we didn't see anyone else there (saw all those tin boats stashed close by so I assume its busier in spring :-)
Your videos make me want to buy some filming gear lol.
Ha ha.. yes it's a sickness.
We don't want to portage too much this trip. Then they start with 1100 meters. LOL
😁
Mr “Home”
Do you have any new canoe camping trips on the horizon ?
Your subjects miss your exploits !
Just got back from a week long trip and another one on the horizon :-)... new vid coming in the next few days
Awesome to hear
Can’t wait to see where you travels took you & yours
Jeffrey
Another great video. Spent quite a few years up on the Mississagi River and Rocky Island
but not down around these lakes. Is Jordan's map homemade or available from some source?
THanks! The map was the Chrismar / Mississagi Provincial Park & Area
I love that waxed canvas hat. Where did you get it? I want one!!!
Those hats are made by Koola... used to be sold at MEC many moons ago. Good hats. suprising amount of warmth in the shouder seasons.
Another amazing video, Are we camping yet?
The great question!
Ps, any links to your route and or to old baldy, thank you,
That was the perfect escape on a dreary dark and wet Sat night in England my friend, a lovely trip and outstanding cinematography - the time-lapses were amazing. Can I ask ya a few questions on your gear? Was the audio you recorded out in the boats and when you were hiking straight off the GoPro? If so that's very sharp and smooth indeed. The resolution is also extremely good watching on YT. I've said this before, but I struggle with getting the same res when I upload footage to YT from GoPro cams mixed with Canon DSLRs. This is spot on. Maybe it's my editing software? I use FCPX, I think you're a Premier man, am I right? Anyhow, greetings from England, UK.
Hi Andy! Great to see you're still watching. A few folks have mentioned that the quality was good / better this time. I have no clue why really. Using a Hero 8 + the new R6 (which does have a nice image)
I always pick the latest RUclips 1080 setting in Media Encoder but then go in and make sure / edit the bit rate to al minimum 30 mpbs. I can't truly say it makes a difference but I did read somewhere once that it helps. I also had this vid loaded up for at least two days prior to release. (always figured it takes a while to fully ripen in the upload process, despite it saying its HD ready to go). Yes, using Premiere. I use the audio from the Go Pro but massage it a fair bit... Premiere has some nice easy access audio filters... usually peel off the low end and clean it up a bit. I do also take a fair bit of time to grade the footage and smooth out some shots (my buddy has a Hero 4 / no stabilization). I'm stoked to hear you say its looking good on YT cuz I'm always second guessing everything and thinking its sub par :-)
Nothing finer than a new Tumblehome on a Friday night! Are we camping yet?
Thanks Barb!
Great art as always some lovley bits of magic. Anyways where you get those greesy cowboy hats at ?
Koola is the brand. Got them at MEC many years ago. I need to apply new wax to it I think.
@@JasonIrwinTumblehome thanks buddy will have look out for them
What are you paddling?
Hi there, it's a Swift Keewaydin 15 solo
Also super intense swearing @51:45
Yes . Sorry about the cussing. Bad habits picked up in the Navy.
