    Being an old timer and having done all of Joe's video trips (I have started all access points in Algonquin Park for at least 1 interior trip since 1966 and I firmly believe there isn't a canoe route on the FOAP map that I haven't canoed on), he is taking me back in time which is extremely euphoric to me....thanks Joe for the memories!!! Mind you Joe does his trips a lot faster than I did as I usually went in from 4 nights up to 17 nights which is my maximum number of nights I have ever done.

    This video series was awesome! I was born and lived in Canada until I was 28 and then moved to the States. I heard things in these videos that I haven't heard in years like the bullfrogs, but especially the Loons. I haven't heard that sound in years! It makes me miss home, but i'll be back there next year. Great videos Joe, love your Channel.

    Joe, brother, I can NOT thank you enough for taking us along on this trip. Beautiful, my man. You’re the very tops, bro. Keep on crushing it for all us who wish we could be out there as much. My B-day is next week and ever since turning 40, I began taking that day off for nature and rejuvenation. I’ll go hike in Pisgah NF, NC next week. But as any other hiker really must agree, I celebrate you just making it happen and taking us along time and again. Thanks brother.

    Great video, Joe! I have to share -- just spent a week solo in the BWCA in Minnesota and ran into a similar situation in locating a portage. Had to ditch the canoe and hike through the brush to finally find the thing. Four hours later I made camp and tackled the portage in the morning. Always an adventure. Keep them coming, Joe!

    • @dethbell08
      @dethbell08 8 лет назад

      Same goes for me!! In the beginning of June went on a 5 day trip to the BWCA didn't do solo. But some of the portages were so thick and could barely find them. Also didn't help that 4 out of 5 days it was down down pouring

    Joe! That's so funny how you waved goodbye to your camp site! I do that every time!

      @terryashton9213 7 лет назад

      I do the same when I leave to come back home from the Boreal Forest Michelle. You feel a Bond for the time you were there and feel connected, much the same as we would say, "Good Bye", to each other if we went our separate ways. When I pull out on to the highway to return, my eyes are always a little glassy. Just one of those things.

    In July 1977, I and 3 other friends left NYC and went up to Algonquin for 2 weeks. A great time. We left Opeongo Outfitters and rowed up the North arm of Opeongo Lake and portaged to Proulx Lake. One fellow got sick and portaged back to Openogo Lake. Took the water taxi back and hitched hiked back to the states. We didn't realize that he'd do that. We stayed 2 days on Proulx Lake and finally resumed our journey to Little Crow lake and Big Crow Lake. On the Crow river, we encountered a Bullwinkle Moose with a huge rack just grazing on lilies. After a 10 min standoff, he let up pass and we continued on our way. Stayed on crow bay and braved a strong wind across Lake Lavieille. Then on to Hardy Bay, Dickson Lake and eventually back to Opeongo. Great trip. So many memories. Thanks for the videos. They brought back great memories.

    Although you did all the work, it was fun sharing all those incredible experiences with you. I could see that you were itching to get back to your family, but another side of you was wishing that you could spend a little more time among the incredible scenery with all those creatures. I've enjoyed watching every moment of your trip and I'm looking forward to watching and commenting on even more of your video escapades. Thank you for sharing, I'll never forget it.

    Joe Thanks for all your videos, but especially this one. I my dad, and brother were taken through part of your trip by my " grandfather " in 1948.
    My real grandfather left the house one morning in 1911 and was never heard from again. His brother was a miner that had "gone north in 98" and staid be came a Canuck (his word not mine ). He died and left me a Remington cap and ball pistol, I sure do miss him over 60 years later.

    looks like a awesome trip. your solo vids are more enjoyable to watch. I also agree that a solo trip cannot be matched. they say if you go camping with a friend, a lot of time is spent looking at your friend. go camping alone and you get to see more of what nature has to offer. keep the vids coming joe. thanks for sharing

    I can't believe how light you travel! I do 2-3 day trips in my 17' kayak and it's loaded! Like even on deck I have a bunch of stuff. Then again I have more stuff then I need but I could never do portage like this.
    I love solo trips too, I know the feeling you're after!

    Missing a portage, channel, campsite, etc. can sure be time-consuming, and frustrating. Tough day for you but you came through. I love soloing. Wish I could see 12 moose on a 3 day trip. I'd be happy just to see one on a 2 week trip! As always, thanks for sharing. Wonderful video.

  • @RichardBuckerCodes
    @RichardBuckerCodes 8 лет назад

    As I hear you talking about not finding the portage and having to backtrack... I did not hear any fear but I imagine there was a little concern. Even if you had to completely backtrack you might go a little hungry. GOOD STUFF!

Great image quality, composition and editing. I feel inspired to say the least (started planning my first multi-day canoecamping trip after video 2). Thank you so much for that!

    Holy! Good video. Your videos are very inspirational for people to get out and adventure more. I've done some backpacking this year, and some kayaking, but not simultaneously. I'm planning to do a Gulf Island Kayak which would be similar to portaging in Algonquin in some ways. I am from Ontario, and spent almost no time in Algonquin. Living vicariously through your vids! Keep it up.
