Hi everyone, we really hope you and your family, friends, neighbours and communities are doing well. I hope my little basement contraption puts a smile on your face, even if it’s only for a brief moment during these uncertain times. Hang in there. Hold your loved ones and family tight. Remind them that they’re loved and not alone. I’m working away at our upcoming Algonquin series, but in the meantime, please take care and be safe -Chris, Julia and Cedar :)
There is! We have a link to our Redbubble account on our channel's main page, in the header links section (through the desktop browser layout). Thanks for watching! :)
Hi, I'm definitely new to your channel, I have being watching all your videos and others. Keep it up ..they're brilliant.
I've never done a camping /canoeing trip , but you guys make it look easy.
Hopefully coronavirus pisses off soon and things return to normal
Merci, et prenez soin de vous
SO GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU ! VERY GLAD YOU'RE DOING GOOD ! YOU'LL ARE MISSED TOO ! LITTLE ONE IS GROWING FAST . BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS ON YOUR LIFE & JOURNEYS ! ENJOYED !
Chris Prouse I just saw on Kickstarter someone is making a rowing training machine !
He is just too cute. Great idea to keep yourself tuned up and ready to go. Can't wait for the upcoming video series.
Thanks Sue! Looking forward to sharing the new series! :)
Pretty cool. So important to stay in shape. I just spent the night camping in the cold and man am I feeling it in my arms and legs.
Amazing....full stop. Why didn't someone think of this before....simple, easy and you can make it anywhere....great for the Canadian winters...Pray for summer and health.
Thanks so much! Hope you're doing well :)
Absolutely love the b-roll here! Looks to me like you filmed it all yourself. Great work! 👌
Thanks Matt! :)
Super idea! And what a wonderful little child!
BABY IS SOOOO CUTE!!! That is so clever. Comes as good practice, paddling against strong currents, since a lot of times current will also push against your paddle while your straightening out your boat. Nice advice 😉🤓
If we can we have our 70 mile canoe trip this August. This might help get me ready. Thanks.
Actually quite brilliant. I grew up in a poor family in a remote area and we had to "jerry rig" a lot of items. You would have fit right in. Great job. And btw......so cute and seems happy...another great job
I admire and appreciate the ingenuity you put on display as well as the brief escape from what were all dealing with. Thank you and be well to you and yours.
Thanks so much Vince! Hope you and yours are doing well too :)
Genius! Perfect for these times! ATB!
I love the concept. Haven’t canoed for years but this year my 77 lb American Bulldog learns canoe manners. Wish me luck.
Thanks Dan! Good luck! :)
I think your idea is super clever, you could also play a video of a nice day on a lake while you paddle. Cedar looked cute and cozy riding in the pack, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Donald! That's a great idea :)
I think it was a brilliant idea, seems to be a cheap and easy installation.
That's a cool project. I also love seeing other YTers' kids onscreen. I've gotten a wee bit of pushback on how often my daughter co-hosts my videos, but she loves it, so uh... still doing it.
For the last few years, I have adapted the standard rowing machine at the local gym. Hi Chris; Good to see you again. At my age I definitely need preseason prep. All I do is turn the normally horizontal handle vertical , put one hand over the end & the other near the bottom. Then I paddle 25 strokes on one side & then switch. Not perfect but it works all th right muscles. Problem < with Crona 19 the gym is closed. Thanks for the tip Brian 79
Yes a great idea, we used the same concepts in winter time during the seventies when we where training from season to season while i was involved in competitive canoe marathons. Watch tv paddle away for hours in the evenings. May have added more weights!
You're both such great moms! Thanks for the post 😊
Thumbs up! What a little sweetheart to hear his happy coos, Be safe and Well xo
I see a new invention in the making...Lol...Nice to see ya’s...Baby boy is too cute....More video’s soon please..😎
Cedar is to cute. I have a now 14 month old son. We have his first back country trip planned for late may in Algonquin. I cant wait to see some tripping videos with Cedar, I hope to learn a lot from your family in upcoming trips. How to with the little one. hope to inspire some courage for my wife. You and Julia make it look so easy and that's how i need to portray this trip to the wife. always looking forward to your next video. much love from my family to yours
@Chris - brilliant set up and design. love that you give a tip for those taller paddlers. A Great DIY project for my garage.. TY!
All the best ideas are simple ones. That's a fantastic idea for upper body physiotherapy, I'll try it out.
Cheers !!!
As a 5 ft 6 - 120 lb person this is a perfect measurement for your Rowing Training Invention , best wishes for continued good health from my family to yours . Lloyd.
Thank you! Glad to hear :)
What a great idea! And your little one is adorable!
Thanks Jenny! :)
Thank you very much ... saved me 1000s of Euro and works like a charm.
Whose got a red nose and is already saying "Hi!" - it is the backpacker - Cheers Chris /Julia and Cedar.
That's pretty cool!! Set it up in front of a screen with some paddle video looped and bam, you've got a solid workout! Ergs were the worst part about rowing though, this better not ruin paddling hehe.
Thanks Brad! Hope you're doing well. Really enjoyed watching your Rio Grande trip recently - beautifully done! :)
That is soooooo Awesome!!!
Very cool idea Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Great DYI Chris. Excellent video as always
Very cool DIY Canoe Paddling Erg... hope all is well... Stay Safe and Healthy. Dennis, Canoehound Adventures
I love this idea! I want to canoe more but life doesn't always let me. The few times i do get out i find my body tires quickly from the repetitive motion. Something like this would help out (if i actually used it 🤣) thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thank you! Glad to hear :)
Now that lumber prices are down a bit and winter has come, I'm thinking about this setup again.
Was just seeing a commercial by MEC of their home bike with a tv screen in front of it.
Love if someone made famous paddling routes to follow! Video, VR... one can dream :P
Thanks for checking in Chris, glad to see your creative juices flowing. Stay safe and healthy.
Warm regards!
Thanks Michael! Warm regards to you and yours too :)
This is great to keep in shape . Adorable. God Bless
Great idea. I only do a couple of canoe trips each year, and when I do, my upper back/shoulders start to cramp up after I've been paddling a few hours. This is exactly what I need to keep those particular muscles in condition.
Thanks Alfred! Glad to hear - I was definitely sore after the first few times using it, but things feel great now and it's getting easier. I hope you're doing well :)
haha neat idea. Let's see the portage practising!
Really, really cool!
Thanks! :)
How wonderful.
Thnx for the video.
well it does look a bit silly... but so what? Very creative, and keeps you moving! 👍
Haha, thanks for watching Art! :)
Very creative and hope our favorite You Tube nurse is holding up well also.
Thanks Donald! Julia's doing well - she's been working some extra evening and weekend shifts, but handling it really well. Take care :)
Very creative and practical.. good for you in putting it all together and sharing.. wishing you all the best!
Thanks Robert! Wishing you all the best too :)
Thank you! :)
I see you're using quarantine time wisely, creating content to keep us sane of course!
Thanks for watching Aaronime! Hope you're doing well :)
That's a great idea. I've been using a 5 foot section of 1 inch diameter copper pipe. But it only replicates using a double bladed paddle. Mind you after 30 mins my shoulders burn.....
Impressive. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! :)
Impressive!
awesome! Hopefully Algonquin back country is open after April 30th, self isolation is making me go stir crazy haha
Love your videos looking forward to the next video.
Chris you're really skilled! :-)
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Michelle! :)
Brilliant, as usual.
Thank you! :)
Thats cool. What a great idea. Should cut down on the soreness from the first days out.
Thanks David! :)
Great job! Hope you and Julia, and Cedar are keeping well. It has been such a nice weather summer here in southern Ontario. Can't wait till fall and i can get into my back woods and make a cabin and enjoy the cool days. Can't wait for your next series!
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Nice work! Pretty handy!
Thanks Danielle! :)
Hi Chris , that sounds like fun going canoeing , have a good weekend !! 👍😊🚣❤
Thanks John! Hope you have a great weekend too! :)
@@ChrisProuse Your Welcome Chris ! Thank You Too !!
That's slick...
Thank you! :)
Thanks! Be well, and take good care, from here in the Allegheny National Forest, in Northwestern Pennsylvania.
Thanks Eric! Hope you're doing well :)
We'll be visiting the Allegheny Reservoir soon, if they keep the boat ramps open.
CC-Coder keep in touch. I live a mile below the Kinzua Dam
Ingenious
He’s SO cute! Well done on the rig, makes sense to train where you can!
Very cool!
OMG that was too cute seeing your baby peeking over your shoulder
Clever!!
Excellent idea! It is something to do while passing the time in self-isolation. Let me check my tool box...
I did something similar for Dragon boat paddle practice....
Awesome! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! :)
That's amazing! The thing I struggle with most is the portages though. Can you design and build something to practise carrying a canoe without leaving the basement please?
Definitely put a smile on my face! Neatl! Happy paddling. May come handy more now than ever.
Very cool!!!
Thanks Sean! :)
Love you guys
Thanks for watching! :)
👍👍good job ladies..😉
Thanks John! :)
Nice! Your son is so cute!
Awesome this is a cool idea, I like it alot. You just need a big tv in front of you and pick one of your videos paddling on a lake.
Should have an exchange service going on - trade lake route videos with other paddlers!
Thanks Craig! That's a great idea :)
Great idea! I'm going to build one for my wife! will help with the yelling! lol
Looks like fun. :D
Cool. I don't see how you guys survive the winters up there. With a decent dry suit, we can pretty much paddle year 'round here. It was 84 degrees here on Friday. The last two winters have been really mild and I am not sure that we have gone over a week without a 60 degree day all winter. I see the weather up there and I about freeze just watching it. LOL!
Great idea for paddling. Especially as you get older - year around fitness is the way to go. Dropping everything for the winter is not good as you start back up in the spring it is torture and higher risk of injury.
Thank you! Totally agree :)
Wow, what a cool idea! Looks like it's fun to use!
Thanks Josie! It's a fun way to pass the time :)
Great idea! Also looking forward to future camping with kids content, we need tips!
Too cute! As a family we were due out in Algonquin from Scotland this year - sadly my job tonight is to cancel it all. Hopefully back in 2021 though.
So I woke up at 5am, checked my email, saw a RUclips notification that you'd posted a video. I thoroughly enjoyed the video even though I don't remember subscribing!
A smart idea, enjoy your private paddling training center, looks great.
Thanks Rene! :)
Hey Chris. That is quite clever, but you guys are always doing something interesting and alive. You staying safe up there? B and H is closed and the whole city is shuttered. We're all staying at home on the Upper West side. Love your videos as usual. Cheers to you and your family Chris,Paul. NYC
Thanks for watching Paul! Hope you and your family are doing well in NYC - stay safe :)
Very ingenious. But you forgot the best reason to keep in shape for paddling. Pretty soon Cedar will be out paddling both of you. Stay save kiddo.
Great idea, I'm gonna go confiscate part of the basement and get working on my own system. Thanks for the inspiration.
Genius
Thanks for watching! :)
Loved it! Stay safe!
Thanks Ken! :)
Very inventive! Have you tried different paddle strokes using it,like a cross draw?
Your baby is too cute for words.
Aww! Thanks for watching :)
Hi Cedar!
Thanks for watching! :)
Love it! I can totally relate.
BTW I'm now in Minnesota so am looking forward to exploring the Boundary Waters. There are no RUclips videos like yours to educate me out here so it'll be learn as I go as apposed to learn before I go.
Thanks Gregg! Hope you have a great trip :)
Hi Have a good day and night from Allen and Brenda from canada New Brunswick
Thanks Brenda and Allen! Have a good night :)
What I would give to have an ergometer right now...
Ciao e un po di tempo che non fate più video, comunque vi seguo sempre dall'italia. p.s. scusatemi ma o studiato poco da giovane, e non parlo inglese
I’m not going to be able to get across the border for my spring canoe trip 🙁
Sorry to hear Justin. Hope you're doing okay. Thanks for watching :)
Q: What was the hardest part of the canoe build?
A: Video editing 😂
It's been a long time since I've seen your video cute kid by the way stay safe do not get that virus see you on the next video
Ontario Parks are currently closed and will be for an uncertain amount of time. With spring camping (and summer camping) around the corner are you planning to not go out at all? I am just curious because I am itching to get back out into the wilderness myself and I personally don't think the current events have an effect on this type of activity.
well done.Expensive does not make it better.Riding a bike or chopping wood can be a better workout than any gym.
When are the two, or three of you going to do the 90 miler race through the Adirondacks?
