I’m only watching this because Evan is in the video and Tim cooks 🤣
*Mint sauce AFTER
Two great reasons
Thanks for taking my son to the boonies Kevin - and returning him intact! Evan has admired you guys from afar for years, you inspired him to take-on the wilderness world in every way and inspire others to do the same! I’m very grateful for you guys!!!
It was a pleasure. He's a very ethical camper, and very inspirational to others.
I forgot to thank you for my cameo in this video @@TheHappyCamper I'll have to slip you into one of mine!
The axe-cident trip was a lot of laughs and Evan gave chef Tim a run for his money.
Holy jeez Kevin this was such a joy to watch, makes me wish I was back there. Thank you for having me along, for the great laughs, and for being so inspiring. Now starts my journey of finding Tim a new axe!!😂
It was great having you along, Evan. And I am sure Tim owns a few more axes...
Evan got to hang out with the gang! That must have been a really fun and funny trip with those guys lol!
MINT JELLY ON THE SIDE WITH LAMB....YUM...YUM...YUM
Mint sauce after cooking, Whiskey whilst cooking
It's a good thing Evan came along to prevent you guys from falling into despair!
The grouse story serves a greater purpose. well done, great laugh. keep things light :)
What a fantastic trip! Thanks so much for bringing us along!
Thanks. It was a good trip, and great company.
Evan seems a good addition to the troup! He at least knew to bring some decent food! Those sandwiches looked amazing!
Miigwech for a very enjoyable trip.
You fellas live a good life and a life for good.
Tu t’es bien débrouillé en français Evan! Audience (for TV or streaming) = Téléspectateurs.
Your videos always brighten my day Kevin!
As a New Zealander I can officially state, mint sauce after. If you cook with it, it'll burn as it has a high sugar content.
I knew the percussion beat that Tim played about 3 beats in. YYZ is the song and the part Tim played is the intro to the song that is taken from the audible radio airport code played at Toronto's Pearson airport.
Yes, I am a Rush FANATIC! LOL!
Was opeongo with my dad in the early 80s..in a canoe too..got stuck with massive waves..couldnt get around point to go to camp..just camped..got to campsite on (stonehouse)?island..campsite destoyed by a bear..we cut trip short..
Gents an absolute great voyage...great to see Tim again too..
Opeongo Lake (13 nights) this past August was the ending of my 62 straight days of camping in Algonquin Park (without a campfire of any kind due to the fire ban...WHICH REALLY SUCKED) after Grand Lake (14 nights), Sec Lake (14 nights) and Lake Traverse (21 nights). It seems like your last campsite on the South Arm looked familiar to me as I think this is the site I stayed on. There was a tiny island just offshore of the landing with a no camping sign on it. Myself being able to take at least one interior trip (of at least 3 nights) from every access point in Algonquin Park over 50+ years is a true blessing for me. Your trip to Annie Bay struck a great feeling within me and is now on my list of Algonquin Park trips next year as, like you, I truly love this majestic lake called Opeongo. Just for the record, camping in the South Arm many years ago on Labour Day weekend with my buddy Mark Rubino, we spotted 101 loons gathering in front of our campsite. And like you mentioned, a sighting like this is definitely worth your trip. Looking forward to viewing your trips next year! Take care!
Wow. That's a lot of nights in the woods. Good for you. Our site was the first of the 5 along the east side - before Bates Island.
I had no idea loons gathered like that...what a beautiful scene
Fantastic. Love this video. So good to laugh. So good to see you guys having such fun.
Kchappycamper-omg!you created well , 👏
Great video Kevin.Had to laugh when Evan broke axe handle.Hopefully he can get discount on new handle from Canadain Outdoor Equipment.You guys are livin a dream.
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! The food really looked amazing! 80's bands I was rhyming off a bunch as I was visualizing my wall of cassette tapes from back in the 80's. LOL!
Always love the camping trips with the boys....
Love watching you guys have fun. Keep up the great work Kevin supporting kids camps. Every kid should have the opportunity to go to camp and go on a canoe trip.
Thanks!
Another classic! Thanks folks tripping is awesome, but it can be next level when you get to do with like minded, great companions!! ❤🛶🔥🪓🎣
Epic trip and the food looked awesome.
I've just got home from running The Spey with Paul and Ray. No where near as much Whisky as your trip but some wee drams were had. Paul said I should look at your channel and he's not wrong love your energy. 🌊🌊🌊👍
Thank you for sharing!
Hi Keven last year I camped at the same campsite in Deadman’s Bay. Great spot. Thanks for your videos looks like a great time.
Looks like a fun trip Kevin! Evan got to hang out with the gang! Andy's story reminded me of a story I have. I was riding my bike down a gravel road in Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park one summer and saw a grouse beside the road. Usually they don't care, just watch you ride by or walk right in front of you. Anyway, I looked back to look at the grouse again and saw it flying behind me! It was chasing me on my bike! I biked faster and I guess it gave up and stopped flying. So that was kind of funny lol! I figure it must have had a nest right beside the road.
I played the bear story TWICE Kevin! I have a fear thing with bears..for sure now i have to bring a bigger man with me in camping trips..bears like the meat off a man more because there's more of it!
I counted 27 great blue herons once at the inlet on Peche Island!
That would be an incredible sighting
Awesome video Guys
Evan is always killing it the camp kitchen! those steak sammies looking good!
The video has it all! Evan makes a great 4th but I do miss Speedo-man! The loon scene was awesome...never knew about the fall gathering! Thanks!
I head out with Speedo Man in a few weeks.
Great video as usual! Kevin , if you ever need a fourth wheel, it would be well worth my drive, and I would come with libations in hand and lovely food to go with.😁
Another great video! If it is the last trip of the season at least we'll still see you on canoehound's show!
"It's not exactly French, but it's got French in the name." 🤣 Great video, great trip guys!!!
Mint sauce after lamb is cook, what a great team , awesome camp spots , great food from all of you. lot's of laughs Would be nice to see the young lad join you again. look forward to more videos before the freeze. thoughly enjoyed the video .
And. Evan good for you young man!! High5 I'm going to continue watching now. 😎
Saw your trip to Opeongo. It would not hurt to see Evan again. What a fun guy. I had plans to go away to the Bonnechere again this week, but I am celebrating our 47 th wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving for the third time since 1976. She is so happy. Of course, so am I.
Boy you guys know how to eat! When I was young and camped with friends we ate junk. I guess we never understood how important good food is. A fun video. It’s great to enjoy your good time.
Watching your vids with Andy and Tim is always fun.
I anticipated price of admission to these trips would be much higher. I didn't know all someone had to do was to cook some amazing steak, bring whisky, and break Tim's axe🤪.
BTW, I can cook amazing too😉.
Something new I learned about the Loons Thanks again.
Hope to see more of Evan in your videos' 😍.
The loon gathering was amazing!
Awesome video, thanks so much. Evan, please learn how to split wood, you’re out of control, you’ll be pulling the axe out of your shin if you don’t. Keep the vids coming!
Wish I were there with you now.
Tim is quite the chef.👍👌
That was such a fun video to watch!! Nice to see you out with Tim and Andy again but I think Evan is definitely a keeper for this group as he totally fit in with you guys! Hope to see more trips this fall before it freezes over!
Thanks. Evan was great to have along.
great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. Learnt some stuff too. very interesting about the loons. Evan seems to know quite a bit too. have to check his stuff out. Happy to see you so happy Kevin.
So Andy, Tim... tell it to me straight. Does @TheHappyCamper Kevin EVER paddle?? "27 loons. No, 48 loons!! Amazing. 55 loons!! I better count again..." 🤣
What a great trip. Thanks for the video!
Great video loved every minute ,thanks for sharing and stay safe all 🙂
Thoroughly enjoyed this trip Kevin! Great crew, lots of laughs. Fun time. Evan was great 👍.
Thanks. Sadly, no fish were caught.
Late to this video, but (a) mint sauce after cooking, and (b) the term “Scotch Whisky” can only be used for whisky from Scotland. The spelling of Whisky (no “e”) is what is used for whiskies from Scotland, Japan, Canada and India (yep, India). Ireland and America use the “e” spelling. The term “Scotch” is only used for Scottish whisky. 😎👍
I mean, it's a tool, it gets used, it gets worn, it gets maintained and the cycle continues. We sharpen, we rehang, we oil, I love my granfors small forrest axe, of course purchased from The Canadian Outdoor Equipment store on the lakeshore.
Sept/Oct are the best paddling times here in NS. Good daytime temps, little to no bugs and cool enough at night to enjoy a good campfire.
I have also witnessed the loons gather on Opeongo years ago. There seemed to be even more than what you have on camera here. At the time I didn't know why. I'd never seen a flock of loon flying south so I was stumped. I've read the same things as you mentioned here. It is a truly amazing sight to see. Side note I saw the very recognizable "Happy Camper" canoe pulling into the Algonquin Store in Whitney on Sept 28th as I was on my way into the park for a 5 nighter. Didn't want to bother you with "fan interference" so I didn't U-turn. Great Video! Opeongo is breathtaking in good conditions. A nightmare in poor.
Hope you had a good trip. Next time stop to say hello.
Hi Kevin, I've been a subscriber for a good while but I don't do many comments, but Andy's recollection of an encounter with a " devil grouse " gave me a chill, it sounded very similar to a haggis attack in Scotland, I am English but when we visit we never go out in the dark alone, even for the personal reasons, you cannot defend yourself while pre occupied, it looked an amazing trip with great friends in a fantastic location, looking forward to seeing more, stay safe my friend.
Nige 👍👍☕️☕️☕️🏕
Andy's stories around the fire are legendary on trip. Good luck with your wild haggis.
Awesome video
Just watched another vid from Opeongo by Jen from the wild yam channel. Hers was similar but a fresher face than the old f*rts on this one . Evan just wasn't cutting it as the 'new' face . Guess you had to be there to be laughing all the time like Kevin. Could have saved the day with some nice fish but nada on that too. Loved the # 2 comments as this was real campsite humour .Add some gas passing denials in the tent and you have a winning video.
PS cudos to Kevin on helping with kids getting into canoeing .He ought be nominated for the order of Canada
mint sauce after always
Thank u so much.
Love the video.I just got back from kiosk lake. Was wondering where did u buy the instant loaded potatoes
Walmart, actually.
Mint sauce on the side
Love the video what about the dinner bowls very unique?
They are Kupilka bowls. www.canadianoutdoorequipment.com/kupilka-bowls.html
Thanks- Blessings @@TheHappyCamper
What is the hanging table shelf thing that Tim is using in this video and where can i get one?
it's an old version of Ostrom Pack table. They have reissued it lately. ostromoutdoors.ca/collections/camp-tables
@@TheHappyCamper thanks for the info
Andy I also was attacked by a grouse on the Pennsylvania greater Allegheny passage bike trail. It was Fall though it was a male and he was highly inebriated from fermented wild grapes. I kept putting the bike between me and said grouse but he did not desist despite my pleas.
A drunk grouse. Awesome!
I hope you can share that with Andy - I know that kind of fear and terror. LOL
@@TheHappyCamper
@@dougpacanoemanburns4294 I just sent him your note LOL
Can I ask what was thrown into the lake and why? I haven’t heard of that tradition. I started camping now that I’m older.
Tobacco. It's done traditionally by First Nations people to give thanks to the Great Spirit.
but which maple syrup was better?!?!?!?!????
mint sauce AFTER
🖐😎👍🛶
After.
I gotta be honest, using a Silky Katana without gloves on is just... 😰
after
Another nice video! But stop with the ferro rods. It's not bushcraft. Use a lighter. Ferro rods are good under specfic conditions where a lighter or match doesnt work as well (eg in rain). Its. Not. Bushcraft. Ferro rods are not "traditional", they are modern technology.
And don’t forget the secret sauce!⛽️
Steve Wallis Style :D
That's what you want is prunes while in a canoe in the middle of a lake.
Rush
Seriously!! You help make life a great ride if you have great friends to help you on your voyage. 🩷
Great point!
😂🫶
