  • Vlog Ep.52 - Big Algonquin Canoe Trip - Day 6 - Wolves? (4K) This video is about the 6th day of our canoe camping trip in Algonquin Park's interior, where we canoe and portage our way through cold winds and rain, taking on big waves and challenging unmaintained trails as we trek from Lake La Muir to Happy Isle Lake! We've also been filming select, interesting moments throughout each day of the trip with a 360° 4K VR camera (there’s a link to today’s 360° video below), and today's are brief moments from inside our tent on Happy Isle Lake, in the rain! After the trip, we'll also post an unabridged version of all the 360° clips for those who would like to enjoy a longer VR experience in the park :)
    __
    There are several different ways to enjoy the 360° VR video linked below:
    1. Select desktop web browsers like Google's Chrome, or Firefox will allow you to scroll through the 360° VR video by clicking / dragging the image on the screen left, right, up and down, so you can look around in the environment.
    2. View the 360° VR video on your smartphone or tablet using RUclips's Mobile app (a free app on iOS or Android devices), which will allow you to pan and tilt your phone around in 3D space, almost as if it's a window in front of you that you can look through to see the VR environment around you - the RUclips Mobile app uses your device's internal gyroscopes to determine where you're looking... which is really cool!
    3. View the 360° VR video through Google's Cardboard app (a free app on iOS and Android devices), and a relatively inexpensive head-mounted VR viewer, equipped with lenses designed to help you focus on your smartphone's screen. The app creates a stereoscopic version of the 360° video we filmed, which you can then put into a head-mounted VR viewer, which allows you to look around and almost feel like you're there inside the VR environment. The app uses your phone's own internal gyroscopes to determine where you're looking. Please note, your VR experience with this method depends on your phone's resolution and the quality of the VR headset you purchase. I personally own a "Merge 360°" VR headset which works with a range of different phones, and sells online at B&H Photo for around $79 CDN / $59 US, though you can find inexpensive VR viewers for as little as $15 - $20 by searching online. There are many to choose from - you generally get what you pay for though, and more expensive models will typically be more comfortable to wear for extended periods, or come equipped with more built-in adjustments for precisely aligning with your eye. Before buying any VR viewer, please ensure it will fit your phone. You may also want to enjoy this method while wearing stereo headphones.
    4. View the 360° VR video through an Oculus Rift, or HTC Vive, which are much more expensive VR devices with their own software built-in.
    Today's shots are brief moments from inside our tent on Happy Isle Lake, in the rain! Before you check it out, please don't forget to like, share or comment on today's vlog and let us know what you think! Thanks! It really helps us to create more content and moments like this :) ...today's 360° VR video link: • BIG ALGONQUIN CANOE TR...

    Thank you for the videos. You have the best quality videos I've seen on canoeing and you two have wilderness skills beyond most that I've met in the bush. You two are beautiful animals when it comes to portaging. You're killing it!
    The best experience I've ever had at Algonquin was at the Natch on the Petawawa River standing around the campfire under a tarp at the edge of the fire in a downpouring rainstorm and Mr. Bill Mason paddled into our camp and ask if he could borrow our fire for a few minutes. We talked for about 30 minutes, and he said thanks and headed out into the storm and continued on. A year later he had passed on. RIP Bill.

    Wow! The two of you are portaging powerhouses. Not only did you make those unmaintained portages look easy, you made them look fun. Another outstanding video. Keep them coming.

    Never really comment, but I have to, you guys are beasts!! Such passion for the wilderness , you guys are on it! I go to the Boundary Waters 3 to 4 times a year and in my opinion 90 percent of men lack the skills(and etiquette)for wilderness travel! Thank you so much for taking us along! My next trip is end of October and I cannot wait! So thanks for helping!!

    My heart jumped when Julia fall, thank god she wasn't hurt *phew*
    Not sure but I am those who enjoy the raining no matter what I am doing and wherever I am, it just help me find the peace easily. If I am at home, and raining outside, I would simply go to my patio (which has two tarp covered), put cushions on my chair then enjoy a big mug of hot coffee while listening to the rain.
    Have you heard about Joe Robinet? He has recently went to Algonquin park for 7 days as well!
    Thanks for taking me with you...again :D

  • @robleigh461
    @robleigh461 6 лет назад

    This perfectly illustrates the difference between two women on the trail versus two guys. You're very encouraging toward one another, whereas we're secretly hoping the other is going to face plant. When one of you go down, the other is concerned. When one of us goes down, there's concern--but after the appropriate period of laughing at the guy who went ass over teacups. I'm sure the fact that we're perpetually 11 years old has a lot to do with that!
    Looks like a wonderful trip.

  • @TyK622

    Hi Chris, Julia. I was so happy when I saw a new video was posted. I guess when you love something, it doesn't matter what
    the weather brings, rain or shine and in this case, rain & cold. You ladies are definitely dedicated to your love of camping.
    I'm glad Julia was not hurt & was ok after falling while carrying the canoe.
    Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Take care , Tom.

  • @tombeckett4340
    @tombeckett4340 4 года назад

    Yes that wet weather can get you down especially after a few days of nonstop raining. Glad you guys didn’t get hurt everything was so greasy. That’s nasty under foot when you’re boot soles fill up with muddy sticky stuff. Yuk! Thanks 👍🇨🇦

    Lay the blue barrel down. You are inspirational. Wonderful trek.

    • @ChrisProuse
      @ChrisProuse  6 лет назад

      Thanks Kevin! We get the comment about the barrel quite a bit... though we're frequently in & out of the barrel while on the go for equipment, snacks, etc, so it's just more practical for us to leave it upright. Most of the heavy stuff's already at the bottom of it, and the other (heavier) canvas backpack in the bottom of the boat also offsets it quite a bit :)

  • @AGKRex
    @AGKRex 7 лет назад

    I am I'm awe of the strength you both have. To trek like that with a canoe and heavy gear in those conditions is something else.

  • @birdland830
    @birdland830 6 лет назад

    You two are real troopers - rain, wet rocks, deadfalls, slippery logs....and you smile through the whole thing. Kudos to you! Love the videos and the photography is fabulous..especially in 4K. Going to go check out the 360's on my Samsung VR. I do 1 or 2 canoe trips a year, but my 400m portages have got nothing on your trips! Keep up the great work :-)

    Loving your videos! Glad she was ok there too. I was in Algonquin last week and we watched a large bunch of helium balloons come down on Welcome Lake. Very sad finding people's garbage when we go out there to see nature. Was a great 4 days though!

    @gregdeeth5701 6 лет назад +1

    That was so intense, you ladies are amazing and the way you push and support each other. Beautiful. Almost had to take a nap after watching, had me at the end of my seat. Glad to see Julia is okay, bumps and bruises comes with camping but more so with an epic portage like that. 🇨🇦

      Shall to Shirley to Ryan to McKaskill to Hidden to Fairy to Animoosh to Dickson to Opeongo to Annie Bay to Opeongo River to Booth to Shall......a very tough 7 day trip though. I know both of you are up to it. Keep the videos going as I just love viewing them no matter where your next trip takes you. Nothing like the "sound of the paddle".

    • @ChrisProuse

      @siobheanne 7 лет назад

      Paul Laprise, depending where you are, Frontenac Prov Park is a great "intro to the backcountry" park where you can test the waters and see what works for you! Some challenging portages to get a feel, but still some nice comforts like picnic tables and food lockers. Have fun!

    • @paullylapri
      @paullylapri 7 лет назад +1

      oh cool thanks so much that sounds interesting! We live near Toronto.

    • @siobheanne
      @siobheanne 7 лет назад

      Every site in Frontenac is accessible by hiking trail as well as canoe (save one cluster, 12 - it's hike-in only; still on a lake but no portages to it), depending on your preference / gear!

    I always started at Canoe lake. But some of the lakes I can remember are Tepee lake,Tom Thomson lake, Misty, Butt lake, and Ink lake. That was back in the late 70s early 80s that I was there. It's the best place in the world. So beautiful! Again I love you videos!!!

    • @aubreymaxam7465

    You two are now a well-oiled tripping machine. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
    Some favourite campsites: There is a site on the south side of Happy Isle (across from the eponymous isle) with a pretty great view. I also like some of the island sites on Lavielle, south of Crow Island. Usually it is slim pickings for firewood, but a great view.

    • @ChrisProuse
      @ChrisProuse  7 лет назад

      Thanks you! Going back to Lavielle is something I've been thinking about for years... we passed through it once, and just remember it being gorgeous :)

  • @geoffpimlott1218

    Hi Gals,
    'Great videography; wonderful outlooks on nature & the human condition; inspirational lives; great stories! Thanks very much for your uplifting personalities brought to life to a broader audience of humanity worldwide, through your talents, caring natures & generousity!
    Cheers Mark
    P.S. I do ramble on - as in the previous post - after 'discovering you two' last night (& watching most of the hours since)!
    I was most recently in The Park on my motorcycle for an sunset ride yesterday. 🦌 'Fewer bugs in your blogs though!! 😉
    P.S. My biologist inclinations were misled a bit by your reference to a "huge" moose skeleton. I watched again & paused to examine the sequence & noted that the mandible looks as if it's from a juvenile moose. The skeletal remains in proportion to Julia also look as if it's a sub-adult. 'Not surprisingly since the first winter is the most challenging with the highest mortality of any age class. 'More surface area relative to mass thus more heat loss & caloric demand; potentially more debilitated by winter tick infestation; not as efficient a browser quite yet; & smaller (& less likely to stand its ground when tested by wolves). If it runs, Mom can do.less to protect her & the winter calf would be easier for our smaller Algonquin (Red) wolves to take down. Mom would still be a formidable opponent but if her calf was injured at all seriously, wolves just back off from flailing hooves & wait it out (sometimes even for a day or more). Yes!! Nature is cruel!
    'Notice how even the ribs have been chewed to get at the marrow & ALL of the major leg bones have been carried off for the same reason. I.e. often by subordinate pack members while awaiting their turn at the main course of the muscle mass. All that's left is truly indigestable to most mammals.
    Biologists speak of "recruitment" levels; that is survival beyond their first birthday. Mortality is so high during their first full year of life, that ungulates don't even count in population estimates until they become yearlings. The second highest mortality is usually during their second winter, however at a much reduced level. (That's their first winter truly on their own of course.)
    As I often cautioned my friends & acquaintances during my many years living north of the Arctic Circle: 'This is not the land of second chances!' (...especially 'out on the land' during our 42 week long winters!) 'Kind of like being prey (mainly to the elements) although ravens & Arctic foxes would gladly accept human carrion!
    You two help to empower our human fraility though..so thanks once again!

    • @geoffpimlott1218
      @geoffpimlott1218 6 лет назад

      Hi again Chris & Julia!
      I cant stop watching!! 'Fantastic primers to introduce the world to your special wild places!! 'So much artistic talent & love!!
      I think that you two stalwart & adventuresome souls would just love the Faroe Islands. (Iceland is awfully busy these days!) You could do a two-fer though on the supply & passenger vessel Noronna though, from Denmark & return, as an intro to all three of those mini nation states & old Norse powerhouse! 🛫🛳🛬
      Viking quest!!! ...At Last! ⛺🎥🎤
      Cheers Mark
      P.S. The eastern Canadian Arctic is just so darn expensive, especially air fares & town accommodation. I.e. Nunavut, Nunavik (the Inuit region of Quebec) & Nunatsiavut (the Inuit region of Labrador), but INCREDIBLE!! TOO!!. You can camp virtually anywhere though; even a short hike from the new big city airport at Iqaluit & save hundreds a night in hotel costs. Now airbnb is becoming increasingly available for homestays too. A cultural educational experience to boot!
      Chubb Crater has a new name & Quebec Inuit park. A deep gem of an otherwordly, perfectly round asteroid crater lake amidst the tundra of caribou & muskoxen. 'Rarely a scary bear! (Black ones only inland & even those rarely that far north.) The Torngat Mountains of northern Labrador are amazing too & you two are up to tackle them with a little local outfitting support if anyone is!!. I'd volunteer the bear safely info & guidance. The white ones manly (no mainly) want to avoid us too! Ursus maritimus ( the sea bear) usually just swims on by too!! GMP
      P.P.S. Perhaps youve already done some Arctic river & tundra adventures?? Barrenground grizzlies anyone - west of Hudson Bay & Foxe Basin? (People are most afraid or uncomfortable with the charismatic mega- vertebrates that they least know!!) Twelve years above the Arctic Circle in the Baffin Region (the Qikiqtaaluk) & I only very rarely carried a firearm when out 'on.the land' solo. Inuit folks always have harvesting equipment at hand of course when I was invited to join them on the land or waters, but they mainly use dogs as campsite alarm & deterrence tools against bold, young, or uneducated & hungry grizz, polar & grolar bears. Pizzlies?
      'Man; do I ramble!!
      'Warm regards!
      Mark

We had 3 very nice sites and got everything weather-wise. It was a 3 day trip only but worth it and def will do it again in different route.

    One of my fave routes in Algonquin is along the Petawawa! From Cedar to Mcmanus - check out some of the sweet spring water along the way. My favourite is on the Natch - there's a path off of the bigger site that leads you to some of the best spring water you'll ever taste. There's also a great hike (at parts a climb) to the top of the cliffs if you keep walking past the spring.

    Very commendable to say the least. Watch for wet slippage and sprained ankles because then its over.

    Really enjoy your trips and videos. Just a quick observation/question - We completed several trips with portages as rugged as some of yours (blowdowns/unmaintained/unmarked portages). Just wondering, why don't you guys strap the paddles onto the canoe for portaging? We do that often and it seems to be easier and less damaging to the paddles.

    Cedar Lake, Catfish, Sunfish, Hogan, Merchant, and Happy Isle Lakes, Proulx Lake, Crow river into Lake Lavielle, sixteen portages to Radient Lae and back to Cedar........approx 10 days.

    @adamcole9298 7 лет назад

    Dope videos. I know you know what you're doing but you should never have things hanging off your pack when portaging. Also why have the food barrel standing up? it just makes the canoe more unstable, I known the swift you're using is quite stable but why risk it?

    I’m going to be Canoeing with my girlfriend in June. We’re starting from Canoe lake up to Burnt Island lake then to Otterslide Lake and the backtracking back Burnt Island and making a loop around to Tom Thompson and back to Canoe lake in the span of 5 days and 4 nights. Any advise? Any pointers on what to look for in those lakes? Have you two ever been around those lakes?... idk I’m just very exited for the trip.
    Love the videos, you both have been a great inspiration for me.

    • @ChrisProuse
      @ChrisProuse  6 лет назад

      That should be a great trip! I'd recommend perhaps spending an extra rest day at one of the campsites, just so you can sleep-in, and enjoy the relaxing vibes without having to pack up and always be on the move... or perhaps cut-out the day up to Otterslide (it's probably the least interesting lake on the trip), and just stay on Burnt Island Lake that day, and then try a different campsite on it the next day. I'd say my favourite part of Burnt Island Lake is in about the first half of it, so don't feel like you have to paddle all the way down to the other end. Also, it could be quite buggy in June, so be sure to look for island campsites or points that are exposed to the wind to keep them away, and come prepared for them. I'd recommend going early June, or possibly even mid-to-late May before the bugs arrive :)

    That was a classic moose kill site on the postage; in all likelihood from the previous winter. Black Bears are only predators of calf moose briefly in the late spring so undoubtedly it was a wolf kill. 'No such thing as dying of 'natural causes for a prey species - although certainly in nature's terms, this was a natural cause. The moose could have been aged by the mandible (jawbone) that was lying there; probably old or infirm. The animal fell to the left of the portage where most of the bed of moose hair lay, & was largely eaten there. As it got down to largely skeletal remains, the now lighter carcass was dragged in the process of consumption - over at least several days by the pack. Then dozens of other animals helped to pick the bones clean: ravens, Canada jays, weasels, marten, fisher, even red squirrels, river otter (if near open water), deer mice, etc., sometimes even golden eagles or wolverine.
    There's no such thing as waste in nature!
    Even the bones are consumed by rodents & porcupines, & what's left enriches the soil & feeds invertebrates & other decomposers down to single celled organisms.
    Do you ever howl for wolves?
    (The portages, lakes & weather are
    Much, Much more dangerous than any wildlife species out there.)
    My father led the pioneering Ontario Wolf Research Program, which included significant elements in The Park during the late 1950s and early 60s. We canoed tripped as a family fairly expensively in The Park then for up to 15 days at a time, & had many interesting encounters with wolves, bears, moose, otters etc., & never felt threatened. Later in my teens I worked for Dave Wainman, the co-founder of Algonquin Outfitters at Oxtongue Lake. (I wish I still had a copy of my Department of Lands and Forests "Guide Licence" from the late 60s.)
    'Guided nine week long canoe trips in Quetico Provincial Park in '73 for Voyageur Wilderness Program. Have you ever canoed in northwestern Ontario or the adjacent Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota?? 'Beautiful & historic international canoe tripping region, largely unknown to southern Ontarians.
    'Fantastic cinematography; uplifting personalities, beautiful souls!! 'Many thanks for view's of old routes & great vistas!! ' Muddy portage & bonechilling drenching rains...& all!
    'So positive! 'A wonderful gift to share your lives & amazing talents.
    - G.M.(Mark) Pimlott (BC Wildlife Branch 1974-2004; Nunavut Wildlife Service 2004-2016)
    P.S. Let's talk 'bear aware' sometime! Even grizzlies & polar bears are not a great threat to humans - nor are wolves as you know. Exponentially more dangerous to be a pedestrian or a cyclist in Canada - let alone in the midst of urban or suburban traffic!
