- Episode 1 of 3
3-day backcountry canoe trip where I try to photograph the moose rut. Cold temperatures, rain, wind, and very long days on the water. The Algonquin Park was a beautiful host and provided a trip with amazing wilderness and wildlife.
For the experienced paddler, I hope you will enjoy the scenery with me and that the footage will excite you for your next trip.
For the beginner paddler, I hope that I can provide a few useful tips and tricks to help you experience backcountry wilderness in a way that you are comfortable with.

Wow. I loved it.
I must compliment you on your canoe skills. The single carry was impressive, and such a great savings in time and energy. Of course you don't have to single all of the time, especially when filming. I kick myself for not using a double paddle. One thing you did not mention is the ability to brace on either side, more quickly. A hatchet causes more injuries than a full axe, get a silky saw instead. When I saw your photos of the otter, I knew that you would be popular, so you are more than welcome.
Thank you very much! Very good point about the hatchet vs full ax. For me, the hatchet is not a preference, but rather a way of saving space and weight. I do own a couple saws and like them. I have not tried a Silky though. Maybe in the future. I hope you will watch episode 2 which will be dropping on Friday evening!
Great video! Hard to beat being in the bush during the moose rut 👍
Thank you! Completely agree with you! Moose rut is a special time!
Completely agree, would very much like to see the entire adventure. Great job!!
Thank you! Episode 2 drops tomorrow evening!
Looking forward to episode two. I doubt that I "know more than you" but my personal experience is, though I love a hatchet, if I have to only take one it would be a saw and a fixed blade knife every time. Much more energy efficient for processing fire wood.
Thanks for watching! I agree, this is an experiment I won't be repeating!
Cool stuff. Get a small Silky saw (Gomboy) or a Bahco Laplander saw. They weight next to nothing, but really compliment the hatchet, and make getting wood for camp a lot easier. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely agree. I have a couple folding saws that I like. This was an experiment to save on space because of all the camera gear I was carrying. I don't think I will do it like that again though.
Great job James,keep it up ,your presentation is good and will only get better looking forward to seeing episode2
Thank you for watching and leaving me a comment! Very much appreciated!
Looks like you put in at Cedar Lake and up the Nip - did that route in ‘22. A nasty place when winds are up. Enjoyed the video. As to episode 2+. My motto is the answer is always no if you never ask, so you have my vote for more.
Thank you! You've got a good eye regarding the trip route!
You can't leave us hanging like that! 😊 Super enjoyable and I have already learned a bunch. Very smooth and easy to watch! Please do us all a favor and upload some more.

Would love to see part 2!!
Thank you very much!! I've started editing!
Just watched and WOW! Definitely would watch any and all reels. Not a paddler but much respect for those that are! The scenery is gorgeous and the stars at night were just stunning. Very informative as well. Very cool! Loved it!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this journey and educational insight into the beauty of the back woods ❤🤜🤛👊🛶🛶🛶👌👌
Thank you for spending some of your time watching!!
Very enjoyable video! I would definitely enjoy watching more content from your trip. Creates longing to be in the backcountry which I enjoy! Well done, sir!
Thank you very much! I appreciate the encouragement!
Just what is needed … a paddle into Algonquin 😍what is that pack you have at the front of your PFD that holds your bear spray, etc. It almost looks like a waist pack but I notice clips going up towards shoulder. Inquiring minds want to know. Looking forward to the rest of your videos. Excellent !!!
Hello, thanks for watching, and thank you for commenting! That is a chest pack from an old backpack that I have retrofitted for my life jacket. I have recently switched lifejackets to one that has more built-in storage.
Love it! Very educational and informative for a novice like myself. Would love to see part 2 of the trip! 🙏
Thank you! Mr. Coot!
Good video, dude. Just the right mix of visuals & pertinent commentary. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated !
New subscriber here, your photos are beautiful. Keep it up. Please. Best regards, Celita
Thank you very much!
Looks like a great trip so far and that canoe looks sweet too, super light.
My favorite combo for lightweight wood processing is a small folding silky saw and a small knife that can be hammered through to split kindling.
Thank you! Yes, that sounds like a good setup. I like the multifunctional use of the hatchet. Hammering, chopping, protection, shaping, etc... If I'm not carrying so much photo gear, I'm definitely bringing a saw!
I hope you will watch part 2! I'm going to fix some of the editing problems I noticed from episode 1.
Be safe and careful❤..it's beautiful❤
Much appreciated!🙌🙌
@@james_paige_wilderness always welcome my friend..be safe and careful
yeah. so outstanding vlog. )
Thank you!
Really enjoyed your video James and been following you on IG for some time and love the images you captured. If I had the choice between a small axe or small bow saw like the Boreal 15 or 21, I would take the saw every time. I think it’s safer and requires less work and is lighter. Can’t wait to see the rest of this series and what you shoot in 2024.
Thank you! I hear what you are saying about the saw vs axe when saving weight. This is a debate I have with myself quite often. Ultimately I have decided I think the small axe offers more versatile uses. Collecting firewood, hammering, protection, shaping. I much prefer using a saw when collecting firewood, so my opinion on this is very malleable! Thank you for watching!
Absolutely would love to see the more
Thank you!
Good tips! Especially the daisy chain for the bow line, thanks for that.
Any thoughts about using a hard case for your camera? It'll be easier to open and close than a rolltop.
Thank you! Yes, I have thought about a pelican case or something like that. However, at the size of my camera when the 600mm lens is attached, I find the case very heavy and very expensive. I might end up there eventually though. Thanks for watching!
@@james_paige_wilderness I use a Nanuk 908 and a nanuk 918, both of these are deeper than your normal pelican/nanuk cases. I dont mind using the case when it is sitting in my canoe most of the time (I would never lug it out on a hike though)
@@DerekSOutdoors Yep therein lies the problem. Most of my canoe trips involve many many portages.
