Join me on a two night solo canoe trip, instead of a park we're heading out on public crown land in Quebec. I venture out with my trusty dog Toby and my Warbonnet Blackbird hammock for a great weekend. In the video I cover such topics as my new Sawyer Mini water filtration system, new Mora Companion knife, fishing and lets not forget about the crazy, nasty bugs among other things. I hope you'll join me on this one...
As promised, here's a link to my custom ferro rod holder 3D print for the Mora Companion sheath: www.thingivers...
So back in 2011, I watched your 11 part video of Algonquin Park and a light went on for me. You've always maintained a calmness in good and rough weather and showed the beauty of true wilderness. After watching your vid, I decided I wanted to try out backcountry camping and brought my very young son along. We have been going on backcountry adventures every year ever since. I still use the knot and hitch that you had shown all those years ago. Just wanted to send my gratitude to you for making that video 8 years ago. It has eternally changed my life and my family's life for the better. Keep on keepin' on.
I don't know what to say but I have a lump in my throat right now. Thanks so much for telling me this, it means more than you know. Much love, Troy.
Toby is such a clever naughty little JR! I love that he found and dismantled your fishing line!
Barred owl...they say "who cooks for you"...very common and will often come into your camp. Easy to call in also
I love the "who cooks for you" part. Really digging all of info I'm getting on that bird. Thanks!
I also heard a coyote howl partway through the knife review. 11:14 (it's faint but it's there)
Westcoast, I heard it too with my headphones on.
Get them outside my window all the time, love it!
That's awesome, thanks Westcoast, didn't even notice that coyote. Too focused on the Mora!
Thank you ! You Are The original and The best !
So glad you're back with new content! Yours was the first outdoor adventure channel I started watching (and it's still the best).
I have a Rat Terrier that goes hammock camping with me. After a few times of sharing my hammock with Scout and everything he has come in contact with during the day and being subject to frequent shifting I bought a Eno singlenest for him. I sling it directly under mine and he does a pretty good job of staying put all night. Before buying his own hammock I put him on the ground below me but he always wandered around and I would have to get up several times during the night to get him cozy again.
Sound--Barred Owl. Tobby is really well minded, nice job!
Thanks!
Love the Firesteel holder idea.
That was a great horned owl.
Man that dog is sooo cute and funny! Nice vid again! Keep on n take care!
Thanks Bud, very awesome.
Thank you. What a great video. In the 40’s and 50’s, my father used to take me to Ontario and Quebec Provinces. It was just the way I remembered it .
I had 2 hydration packs and gravity fed the mini and it was AWESOME.
my "dirty" water bag completly opened on the end, and I put the Sawyer on the end of the hose.
After hanging, in no time my clean water bag was overflowing
Nice! I have a similar system now. I designed and printer some 3d prints that connect my CNOC 2L water bladder to my bottle and let it gravity feed. So far it's my favourite water filter system yet. I'll show it in one of my future videos. I actually shot it in a video from a 3 night solo a couple of weekends ago but I don't think my video is usable due to camera issues and really poor audio. Too bad, had over 5 hours of vid on that trip.
MaddyTheGoose that's too bad! Glad to hear it's working well. Look forward to seeing it in future videos!
Always enjoy coming along with you ,Troy. Thanks
My "go to" knife right now is a mid 1960s K-Bar U.S. Military with original sheath for $20.00 US $. I've actually chopped down trees with it. Just need to make a leather ferro rod holder for it to be complete.
That's cool. I've heard a lot about K-Bar knives but never used one myself.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR ADVENTUROUS TRIP. I REALLY ENJOYED IT. IT LOOKS LIKE TOBY WAS A GREAT TRAVELING COMPANION. TAKE CARE.
oh man look at the dog . beautiful moment killed me laughing a lot . your dog eating mosquitoes . we are living inside the hell . you living in paradise in this season . thank you for sharing love it
love the vidz ....you got character and ingenuity ..... and little Toby is a trip, I love the mischief ....cant wait for some more vidz
Wonderful hearing nature's sounds. Beautiful shot of the beaver.
Loved your video. Toby is such a sweetheart. Thank you for sharing your awesome canoe/camping trip. Really appreciated seeing the warbonnet setup as I am in the final stages of deciding what hammock to go with. I have it narrowed down to three and have been having a very difficult time making the final choice. Looking forward to your next adventure.
That sound you heard was a Red winged purple throated yellow footed common nut scratcher. Either that, or an owl, but I see others have already commented with the correct. Another great vid Troy. Thanks pal, keep em coming.
Stay well
Hahahaha, gotta keep my eye out for those red winged, purple throated, yellow footed, common nut scratchers... they sound elusive! All the best my friend.
The sound was a lesser spotted mountain splash fart or a yellow throated dustbin warbler.
Great to get a new canoeing video this time of year! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the video. They're always great !! Your dog is a so cute , what a great campanion on your adventures. Keep them coming !!
Toby and the fishing line lol. Sounds like a great book to read lol. Great video.
Great video once again. Toby is a good companion. Safe travels.
Saw the JR in your thumbnail and had to click. Great video man!
Great trip! Loved seeing Toby enjoy! Great info!
Troy
Try a Smartwater bottle with the Sawyer mini. It fills really easy and you can attach the nozzle from the bottle as well to backwash the filter. Works really well.
Mitch
I do this too - great little system. Make sure you get one with a sport cap so you can backwash with it!
Great video! Thanks for bringing us along with you and Toby!
Hey Neil, good to hear from you. My pleasure man, thanks for coming along.
Just what I was going to say - an owl. Really enjoyed your video and Toby is great to watch. Puts a smile on my face. -Sparks
One time I went on a solo horseback trip into Oregon high Cascades in late spring. I got to camp destination, set up a camp for the night. My horse had thousands of mosquitos even after I emptied a can of Off on him. It was so bad I packed up and went home. I couldn't stand to watch the horse suffer and longer.
Toby is star of the video. I have a JRT too. Best companions.
Great as always Troy, hope to see more from the up coming warm weather.
You can count on it Darrin, I'm itching to get out there! Hope you enjoy the warm weather that's on its way as well. Feels like its been a loooong time!
OMG that dog!! Too cute!
Indeed.
Great to see some new footage! I have always enjoyed following your adventures. On the Westcoast we get bugs like that up the mountain.
We're in the thick of the bugs here now for sure but they'll be gone before too long, it sure does make fall camping all the sweeter. Glad to hear you're enjoying the new footage, stay tuned... I have two more on the cutting room floor. I just need to find more time to edit the darn things.
Fantastic ! Really great to see you out enjoying life ! Your videos are just delightful ! Toby is a hoot ! Cute little pup. Peace ✌️
Thanks Cragdwella, always good to hear from you. Can't wait for the season to get rolling, hope you have a good one and as always, thanks for watching!
Sounds like a Barred Owl. Great video as always.
Thanks for sharing, always enjoyable.
Yep...barred owl..My husband is a ham radio operator, so he calls it the CQ owl..(Morse code for the da-dits;0). Love watching your cute Toby dog!
Love love love your videos!.... let me tell you something: that dog is a HIT!!! Watching Toby run about is so much fun!
Get a weapon in case you need one
Troy, how about a few videos on how you train your dogs. So well behaved. I would love to have a companion like Maddy or Toby.
Great video. Toby is a good camp mate by the looks of it.
He's the best... doesn't complain and is up for anything! Thanks for watching my friend.
RAN ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL. HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. I SAW YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING VIDEOS FOR 10 YEARS. I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS. WATCHED YOUR 3 HOUR VIDEO LAST NIGHT. LOVE THAT FUR BABY TOBY.....HE IS SO MUCH FUN. MY BULL BOY IS SO MUCH LIKE TOB. LOVE HOW YOU TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF YOUR DOGS. I DO THE SAME THING. HELLO FROM THE SWAMPS OF LA. BE CAREFUL AND SAFE MY FRIENDS.
Thanks Cathy, glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. Give your fur balls a pat for me. Much love.
@0:43..... what a beautiful spot !
I hear ya! Stay tuned, I think I'll be visiting that one this season.
Love your videos! So glad you are back...
Thanks Kristen, I'm so glad you stuck with me!
You sure get a lot of mosquitos. Same distance north, on a Great Lake, no bugs. Phew.
I'm truly jealous, the bugs do tend to sour parts of our season.
Thanks for another great vid!👍🏻
Just taking a break and found your channel. I like it
Glad to hear that, thanks for stopping by!
Really enjoying your videos! Subbed!
Glad you're enjoying the vids and thanks for the sub!
Hey, greetings from Sweden!!!! Just wanted to let you know that I really really enjoy your videos and that you bring your dogs!!
I have 2 dogs too, and we love to head out with the canoe aswell. :-)
Keep up the good work!! 💙
Very Nice!!! Keep up the good work
How is Maddie and the family miss u guys
I use the sawyer mini too, i built a basic gravity system using a sil nylon dry bag with a small hole in the bottom and a valve system , there are tonnes of videos on youtube showing this system, super fast to fill .
Awesome, I'll check that out. I'm basically using the same kind of system but with an old Katadyn gravity filter bag. The only issue being they don't sell it on its own so your system sounds much more convenient. Stay tuned, that may be my next "perfect" filter system. The mini has been great so far. Thanks a lot for the info, happy trails my friend.
Love the videos. Been watching for years! I do have a few questions about Algonquin Park.
I have done a 40km portage there in the past, but I am looking to do something with no portages for myself and someone who is very new to backcountry. Is there a specific entrance, and a specific lake you would recommend for this? I don't mind a short canoe trip. I just wan't a great view, not much traffic, and something easy for a noobie I am bringing with me. I am huge into nature photography, so any advice on time of the year would be great too.
Thanks Troy! Looking forward to the next vid
Great film, perfect dog. Hey from the U.K.!
Hey back at ya from Ontario Canada! Hope you have a great season.
Good to see you my friend!!!!
And you! Thanks for finding your way back here :)
much better volume here loud microphone very good.
I love the sound of the Barred owl. Hear them at Frontenac Provincial Park.
I enjoyed your video. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
Barred owl, walked out on my back deck a few years ago and almost crapped myself as I came face to face with one. He was sitting on my deck railing and I don't know who was more startled, him or me.
Loved this video... Pat Toby for me. 🐾
Done!
Mora great knife for the price,Nice mod for the Fire steel
Atb
Steve
Awesome trip
The noise you heard at the camp Fire was a Bard Owl. 🙂Awesome video!!
Fantastic. I thought it may be an owl but hadn't heard that particular sound before. Thanks for putting a name to the sound and thanks for watching!
MaddyTheGoose I live in Maine and they are quite common here especially around my camp. Take care ! 🙂
Nice trip.... boy that’s a lot of mosquitoes! I take it that was spring 2017? Great to see you putting videos up again.
Hey Mike, you got it... spring of 2017. I'll be heading back to that general area again this year but am going to see about staying away from the muck a little more and hopefully get a few less mosquitos for my efforts. May try out the spot I pointed out earlier in the video with the rock jutting out from it. Looks like a nice area. Good to hear from ya man.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Love the jack, we have one too...her name is Suzy
FYI - I used sawyer squeeze for years, and the new Katadyn Be Free is a superior product. Just as light and so much easier to use.
Good to know, I'll have a look at that one. Thanks!
Great to see some new videos Tory! Looks like you got some new gear too. How do you like the Gregory backpack? Is it better than your Arcteryx?
Thanks for tuning in! Yup, picked up some new gear that I'll be going over in the next few weeks/months, I'll be looking at doing more in the way of reviews so stay tuned. It's mainly in an effort to lighten up my pack and getting more efficient. I'm really liking the Gregory Z55 and it weighs in at 3lbs 7oz compared to my 8lb Arc'teryx Bora 80. It's no ultralight pack but it certainly added a spring to my step. The two packs are hard to compare since the Arc'teryx is extremely tough and a fair chunk bigger. If I ever needed a big pack that could take an absolute beating and hold a lot of weight it would be a good choice but the Z55 is floating my boat right now and so far, so good! It's a perfect size now that I'm bringing less/more compact gear.
Grab yourself a 1lt smart water bottle from the store and it fits onto the water filter and no troubles filling.
Missing the videos! Hoping everything is okay.
Great video. I wished I had small dogs.
Do you happen to live in Thunder Bay? I was out walking my dog and thought I saw you walking Maddy. Just discovered your channel last night. Love your videos.
Wasn't me, I'm in Ottawa actually. Glad you're enjoying the videos, thanks for checking them out.
MaddyTheGoose Looks like you and Maddy have twins here in my hometown.
That is a barred owl.
We can see and hear the bugs. With ear buds it’s like the bugs are zooming by my ears here in bed.
I haven't been getting your video's??? Just saw that you have a few I haven't seen yet. Better late than never.
Sorry to hear you hadn't been notified but I'm glad to have you back! I hope you enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed making 'em.
I've been watching your old ones over and over again. Glad to see I have more to watch. thanks for posting. Your one of my favorites on You Tube.
Thanks man, that means a lot. I'm working on a new one right now from a three day solo on May 18th. I had some audio issues with my new camera but hopefully it'll be in good enough condition to post. Also going again in a couple of weeks... stay tuned!
Wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing. What canoe were you running and how do you find crown land?
Nate
The canoe is a kevlar Souris River 16' Prospector. Finding crown land can be tricky, I found this location about 15 or 20 years ago in a local outdoors magazine. Thanks for watching!
MaddyTheGoose o
@15:37......LMAO @ Toby !!
Great to see your videos again, Troy! Long time subscriber. Happy to see you in the hammock too. Have you considered snakeskins for your tarp?
Thanks for sticking with me over the years. I have a snakeskin on my list as something to make, if I get lazy I may just bite the bullet and pick on up somewhere but they look like a great addition to the gear considering how useful they are and the minimal weight.
Hey, what is the name of the dog harness you use for him (the green one)? It looks comfortable and sturdy
They make bug repellents for dogs? Cool.
great vid
Thanks man, it was fun to make.
thank you, it was fun to watch. I bought a verustleka (sp?) I had been told they were awesome knives and they are. I may add a mora like yours to my very small knife collection, 22 bucks cdn is awesome and I love the orange
Great video. I'd be interested to know where this crown land is. I live nearby in Ottawa
Make more videos!
If you love eating mussels and clams, why could you not eat that which you used for bait. Was it a mussel or clam and can you eat them.? Thank You.!
cnoc vecto can be a better water container for you
Couldn't agree more. I have one on the way after chatting with ADK.HillyMan earlier. Looking forward to giving it a go. Stay tuned for the review and thanks for watching!
How's the Souris holding up? I think my Wenona has another year in it but starting to think about the "next" canoe.
....the hammock is such an excellent solution for solo trips. Not an option when I take one of the dogs though...Bullmastiffs.
I couldn't be happier with my Souris River Prospector canoe. It's light, durable, comfortable and handles well. I did give both ends an extra layer of fiberglass just to be safe for those nasty rocks in the rapids but I'm not sure if I really needed it or not, just made me feel better.
Also can't say enough good stuff about the hammocks and with a Jack Russell they're perfect but a Bullmastifff, meh... not so much haha. To be honest, one of the reasons for getting the Toby, my Jack, was because he would be such a good travel companion. He works out great in the hammock, doesn't cause issues in the canoe and is tough as nails to boot!
Thanks for the comment and I hope you have an awesome season.
Really enjoy your videos, keep it up, have you ever compared the woods water filters at cdn tire, I looked at there specs and I don't see any difference except pricing,
I haven't but I'll be sure to check it out, good 'ol crappy tire can come through in a pinch sometimes haha. Thanks for tuning in!
Ha,so true
Hi Troy, what brand is your tarp?
Not a word about the snake ...
just stumbled onto your channel and liked this adventure. I might suggest for the Sawyer filter you pick up a CNOC bag. (cnocoutdoors.com/collections/hydration/products/vecto-water-container). It fits both Sawyer filters and weighs 2.6 ounces and is 2 liters. I've got an Evernew 2L and a Hydropak 4L Seeker bag (incredibly only weighs 4.4 ounces), but am seriously considering the CNOC bag. Great trip and love Toby! Cheers! DonP
Hey lostagain, I'm already on it and have a CNOC bag. I haven't used it on a trip yet but am designing some 3D prints to go hand and hand with the CNOC bag, Sawyer Squeeze and Mini as well as a Smartwater bottle. I should have those tested in the field in a few weeks as I have a weekend hiking trip planned. Going to be strange walking a trail without a canoe over my head but really looking forward to it... been biting at the bit! Thanks for writing and hope you have a great season!
What do you use for you camera set up ? Do you use a external microphone ?
I'm currently using the Canon Vixia HF R700 camera. I don't use an external mic but have considered it. I'll be doing some reviews at home and am going through the process of finding an external directional mic for that as we speak.
Where's Lucy dog? I thought she was the perfect dog.
Lucy's doing well but stayed home with Maddy on this trip. I thought I'd break Toby in while he's young and being a Jack he has tons of energy and curiosity which makes him great for this sort of thing, not to mention his smaller size being ideal for the hammock.
Owl
That's what I thought but I hadn't heard one quite like it. I'm used to more of the typical wooo, wooo stuff. Thanks.
Came across your channel really enjoying it especially your dog Toby i also have a jackrussell called Bobby if you have Instagram gaffney9014 check it out to see what we get up to in the woods
