Erin is such a trooper, and as always, she is lucky to have you by her side. You guys make a great team. I used to say building IKEA furniture together was the true test of a relationship, then I went camping with my wife on a trip similar to this, but only 5 days long. Now I say multi-day portages are the true relationship test.
Erin is a real super trooper!!!! And gosh when you saw how swollen her ankle was and she never mentioned or complained once.....and carried on as normal. And that woman can catch some fish 🐟 !!!!! If only she liked to eat them! Lol! And a lovely carving of a paddle for Jon, so very sweet! Next time, just give him a rock in remembrance of that sunlit rock! Did you see that beam of his at that sunlit rock! Lol!
Wow...Erin... you are impressively tough. No bitching, no whining, just get up and get after it. Gotta say I love that. Killer series, we have been watch it all. Thanks for taking us along BAO! You two are the best!!
Nice Baird Brothers impression, made me laugh. Enjoying the series. As somebody relatively new to Canada I'm only now learning canoing & fishing so all tips through out your videos are appreciated.
CHEEK MEAT! Nothing beats that prized morsel. 😊 Jon, I believe the happiness on your face in seeing the light on the erratic offsets the loss of the net. You were like a kid at Christmas. Love the series!
Well if nothing else you’s got the Baird brothers down pat. That was hilarious. You’s are both like the energizer bunny. You get hurt but just keep going. Can’t imagine the pain from that swollen ankle and your back also. Most respect for the two of you’s and your determination to keep going. Just such beauty you’s are showing us that most of us will never see. Thanks again for all your incredible hard work. Greatly appreciated.😘
I decided to get my own Quetico maps out during this episode, so I may follow your route - really a joy! Erin, my goodness, your poor ankle was crazy swollen! WOW! Thanks guys! Peaceful journeys...
Like I’ve said before, you guys are too cute together. The team work that you both give toward each other is so awesome. It makes these tough adventures more pleasurable. Love your videos, keep them coming.
It is delightful to watch people who remain positive despite difficulties and when things do not go as planned. Bad weather, accidents, crappy portages. Well done guys!
Just got back from 4 days in the Wollowa Wilderness in Northeastern Oregon, thought about your guys’ channel on more than one occasion while looking at 12” cutthroat trout swimming tantalizing close to enormous granite slabs plunging into the crystal clear lakes at 8000’. It occurred to me how fun watching you and Erin give backpacking a try would be, both for you two to experience and the audience to watch. Canada has some of the most spectacular backpacking on earth, and to watch two experienced outdoor folk engage with the wilderness in a way that’s different than you’re used to would be a treat. Food for thought! Keep at it, guys. The Quetico seems absolutely stunning.
Sounds incredible Miles! I actually did my first backpacking overnighter in the video before this series and it was a great time and the views were excellent, but it's hard to trade the constant fishing and water access of the canoe, not to mention it carries the packs instead of my shoulders lol
On the most anticipated episode yet, Jon contemplates using the rock pic as his thumbnail. Yes! she's Ok. Not a word from Jon on the Stunning sunsets and sunrises but a 15ft rock is magical and Jon smiles from ear to ear. Love the Baird bro's tribute.
Hahah thanks man!!! Some great comments on that subject and the answer is that it technically could, if the light isn't absorbed or reflected by something first like particles in the atmosphere
The color on those fish really shows how healthy that fishery is. Dark skin, tannin filled water, man it's really beautiful. I miss the Taiga smells, that fresh clean pine air. Miss it lots. P.s. your such a kid, so proud of that rock, precious
An injury in the park is very scary. Glad all is well. Sark lake is great fishing and our family has stayed at that same site multiple times. One of the best sites in the park.
-The GoPro, being a horribly unreliable thing, decided not to record an earlier shot I took about the poison ivy on my arm. That's why I jumped into that shot awkwardly with no context. -After looking into it a little, I believe a photon would be absorbed or reflected by particles in the air before it ever reached outer space -All drone footage was captured outside of the park at our access point, looking into the park (drones are not permitted in parks here)
Another fantastic video Jon. Erin is a trooper, fortunately most of your days are spent paddling not hiking but by the looks of her ankle the portages cannot be too pleasant. Sometimes you need to slow down and wait for the wonders of nature to expose themselves, like waiting on the sun to shine off that big rock.I also appreciate such simple wonders. Sad that your next video will be the finale of this series but looking forward to it. Don
Thanks Don!! Lol yeah the wanderlust is a disease...dragging us forward always. Especially me...Erin's better at chilling out. I get restless and itch to see more
You two are quite a team ! Really ! All the ups and downs that can pop up on a canoe vacation ....can actually turn it into a vocation at times but your team work and caring for one another always pulls you through . BTW your videos are truly well done ...just like watching a movie ! Thanks for taking us along ! Again !
There is no easy way into Kahshahpiwi. McNiece (your route) is the easiest even though it is up hill and you have that 8 ft. rock wall to get over at the end. Great videos! You guys obviously really know your way around canoe country.
“In today’s episode of BOA.....(sponsored by Barb the home of quality backpacking meals).....Erin takes a tumble, .....Jon smiles possibly a little too much....at a rock, Erin owes Jon a new net....he’s not bitter.....but let’s out his frustration in the medium of mime”......😂😂🤣🤣 Barbs dehydrated meals there’s an episode I would watch.....!?👍
Accidents can happen so quickly, glad to see that Erin is ok! I just came back from 2 nights backcountry camping and I took a page out of your book. I left a bag of chocolate chip cookies in my truck for the ride home, it tasted great and a great idea. Thanks for another great video, cheers!
I did a similar 3 week and 2 week trips in 1966 and 67 covering many of the same lakes. Although we were't the fisherman/woman that you are, we did have our share of walleye and bass shore lunches. Many fond memories of a beautiful part of world. I can still paddle but my knees won't handle portages. Thank you for sharing your trip.
Excellent trip series. You two are great to watch. I've said it before you two are tough and if you weren't as tough as you are you wouldn't be doing these trips. Amazing. Erin glad nothing broke or tore in your ankle.
We did a 3 week trip on our way to the Yukon in 1979. We started in Northern Light Lake that straddles the USA border and did a big loop. We chose the route to avoid as many other people as we could and also had to wait for 3 days for the ice to go out in Northern Light Lake. Many of the names of lakes you did were familiar and we did them too. It was a wonderful trip and we have many good memories. I am pretty sure in those days the portages and campsites were still marked. It is great to see that so many years later the park is as pristine and beautiful as it was years ago.
That's one tough lady, she's a keeper for sure, you are a pair of very enjoyable bloggers to follow. Your experiences are a joy to be able to experience, thanks again for this experience through RUclips.
There were some serious storms in the N part of the park - lets say from about the northern part of Russell and northward from July 26-28. We were on Russell near the falls mostly counting our blessings that we weren't 2 km north. We got hit once for an hour but the torrent continued north of us for 2-3 days while we had mostly sunshine. That may have been the storm with hail the folks you encountered mentioned. But Sark is way south of there.
Out of scotch time to go home. Nice drone views and beginnings of your videos. Erin seems to be catching the larger fish as it should be. Glad to see her ankle wasn’t or didn’t appear to be broken. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, trust me your not missing anything. Be safe!
Well you were completely ecstatic about the erratic rock Jon 😂. If Erin wasn’t with you I feel you would have spent hours just staring at it in peaceful bliss. Lots of ups & downs in this episode but you guys always persevere! 🇨🇦
When you get your new net you should attach foam tubing like a pool noodle with zip ties around the edges . I know a lot of Fisher men who do this .It'll help keep the net afloat at least long enough for you to grab it plus it won't add any weight.
So glad Erin was ok. One of those tough days that seem to make the good days that much sweeter. It would not be a true canoe trip without one terrible, horrible,no good, very bad day.
i have been stuck at home for 8 weeks nursing mutipl broken ribs and i have loved your couples, solo and joe robinet videos.thank you so much for publishing them, one thing though, for some one who spends as much time on the water as you do and doesnt put floats on important kit, like a landing net............. dont blame other people and get the bottom lip out about it lol. love what you do , sot it out John x
To answer your question about light. Light is subject to the inverse square law. As you double the distance the light travels, you square the area that it covers. This means it gets a lot dimmer and more diffuse the further you get from the light source. For this reason, your headlamp won't be detectable for astronomical distances. At best, it might be seen from tens of km. Practically speaking, there will likely be obstacles of some sort. For example, the atmosphere is quite thick.
when there's an injury, one of the first things you can do , along with first aid, is gently wrap your hands around the sore area (on you or on someone else) and visualize healing energy going into it, this can be very comforting for the injured party and help them relax also, getting attention from another person.
Anterior talofibular ligament trauma! Nice shiner ya got there Erin. The cool waters of the lake and a little elevation here and there and should be good to go. Range of motion is KING. How did the back to on day 12 ending at Walter Lake Jon? Favourite moment of this segment: the 5:57am departure with clear skies and glass to paddle on. That big erratic with the sun hitting the top? Thought FOR SURE you would propose to Erin right there Jon ... a good symbol for any marriage lol! Oh well, we'll just have to wait...
Hahaha one of 3 or 4 exceptional mornings on this trip...we really lucked out. Back was bearable, just uncomfortable sometimes...maybe thanks to the Robax we brought. Erin definitely had it worse with that very scary sounding word lol
Well, Jon, at least you can rest assured: never base ANY of your trips around Leafs games! You’d have more productive days watching the grass grow... Great job, the both of you, and very glad Erin’s injury wasn’t more serious. Wow, can she catch fish! Your filmmaking rivals the best out there: So very glad to see your content over these past few months. Looking forward to all you present to us, those hungry for the various outdoor experiences you’re doing. Bravo.
Don’t worry John, I geek out over erratics also. We have some up the river from our house that are as big as a house and have a flat top. Makes for nice photos if you can climb up on them.
You should invest in a pocket bellows ($20 ish). It’s a great piece of kit. Love all your content but this long trip is golden. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks Johnny!! Funny enough, Erin's dad makes some ("Billy Bellows") and sells them for $20 lol. Packed as light as possible on this one though so I don't think we had one with us
Backcountry Angling Ontario My wife got me one for Christmas a couple years ago and at the time I pretended to like it but man I’ve used it so many times now that it’s permanently in my fire kits. I can understand a long trip like that saving weight as much as you can. Thumbs up for all your content.
Love your videos, I’d like to make a request, if you don’t mind. Can you post a picture showing the route you took for your complete journey? Maybe in the final video, or maybe a video dedicated to your route including your campsites. I know, I know more work.....😁😁😁. This is what happens when you have great content, people want more. 😀😀😀
Love your German, Jon! Kartoffelpuffer are veeeery similar to Latkes and super easy to make. Bringing shredded potaturrs and an egg to bind it will make great Puffer.
Poison ivy, yeah it takes 12-24hrs to show itself usually, and about 72hrs to hit its peak. If you’re immune to it as I was, you eventually lose the immunity to repeated exposure. At least that was my experience. And that ankle. Wow , she’s pretty tough . Looking forward to part 5 ...
My problem was I had a brand new canoe and was testing out how the weight would work in the boat. If I didn’t have a stick stove (which I see you don’t use) I would have been took hungry
I’m basically an expert at locating poison ivy unknowingly. I always where my flip flops and have had it on my toes far too many times. One day I will learn. From my experience, I think it takes a few days to show up and maybe 4/5 days after that before it’s at its climax but I hear it’s not the same for everyone. Are Stable fly the annoying housefly look a likes that constantly bite your feet and never piss off when you’re in the canoe?
Love your videos! Glad Erin is ok. Can’t wait for the next video. We didn’t watch Any football yesterday, spent the day binge watching you guys! Very good day!
Technically the beam of light goes on forever...well, until it collides with something (dust, other gases). Your headlamp isn’t bright enough for the photons to actually make it to space. Those must have been some dark skies before the moonrise! I was in Algonquin for the Perseid meteor shower amp n mid August. It was breathtaking!! Anyways, I absolutely love your vids. You’re both hardcore and yet have such gentle souls. Keep up the amazing content!
baird brothers made me laugh so hard. erin is so funny. the poo sorry made me laugh even hardwr. wonderful trip! but here in germany no one eats kartoffel puffer with chilli. we prefer stamped apple puree.
That one meme--- Erin sneers at Jonathan. Jonathan purses his lips looking over his shoulder at Glacial Erratic. Glacial Erratic looks all smug and glacially errotic.
Holy smokes, that bass Erin caught has a bigger mouth than me ! Glad your knee's OK. Jon, your filming style is so easy-going and relaxing, I sometimes have to force myself to change channels lol! Thanks so much
Great adventure as usual. Thank you. I gotta get there someday . . . This trick really helps when your feet are sore. As soon as you get to camp, loosen up your boots, and find a place to lay on your back for at least 10 minutes with your feet propped up above the level of your heart. This helps your circulatory system get rid of excess fluid in your feet. Come to think of it, you might be able to adjust your hammock to this position.
How in the world did you not have any bug issues, that is the thing that really stands out for me. Scary moment with Erin and her ankle. Wish I could have made it over the border to get some paddling and fishing in. But backcountry videos help fill the void!
It was pretty fantastic. August can be decent for bugs, but it can also be terrible. I did a 9-day trip last year at the same time and they were awful. So it was a welcome surprise. Only real nuisance were the stable flies, but they pale in comparison to mosquitoes or black flies
Aaahh ! Kartoffell puffer , my favorite! Still with ya guys. After awhile I almost feel guilty as I lay in my comfortable bed and watch the ups and downs of such an epic journey. Have you considered a small map segment edited in showing your daily progress . I think folks would find it interesting . Just a thought. Really enjoying this one. Thanks guys! And by the way at least your not a Sabres fan . Lol
Too true, it could be worse 😂 I dabbled with it a little before at home but I thought it looked junky and just don't have the editing skills to pull it off. Usually I post a custom map in the video descriptions instead :) Thanks Adam!
Erin is such a trooper, and as always, she is lucky to have you by her side. You guys make a great team. I used to say building IKEA furniture together was the true test of a relationship, then I went camping with my wife on a trip similar to this, but only 5 days long. Now I say multi-day portages are the true relationship test.
I have to say that I think you are lucky to have Erin by YOUR side!
Hahah absolutely Andrew. The ultimate test
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how happy the erratic made Jon? The way he beams when the sun shines off it is absolutely adorable.
There was a strong twinkle in his eye, you could definitely sense the appreciation hahaha
I was totally going to comment, I have never seen him that happy, like ever!
Actually Andrew Fishing haha me either! Everyone should have someone in their life that looks at them the way Jon looks at that erratic 🤣
@@erinwalker7421 😂😂😂 - total Christmas morning face! 48:00
I was laughing at how big his smile was during that part. I was wondering if he’d just come from the “have a smoke” portage 😂
Erin is a real super trooper!!!! And gosh when you saw how swollen her ankle was and she never mentioned or complained once.....and carried on as normal. And that woman can catch some fish 🐟 !!!!! If only she liked to eat them! Lol! And a lovely carving of a paddle for Jon, so very sweet! Next time, just give him a rock in remembrance of that sunlit rock! Did you see that beam of his at that sunlit rock! Lol!
LOL. So strong and so sweet...she's the best 🧡 Not liking fish is her only flaw lol
Wow...Erin... you are impressively tough. No bitching, no whining, just get up and get after it. Gotta say I love that. Killer series, we have been watch it all. Thanks for taking us along BAO! You two are the best!!
Thanks Bob!!
Nice Baird Brothers impression, made me laugh. Enjoying the series. As somebody relatively new to Canada I'm only now learning canoing & fishing so all tips through out your videos are appreciated.
Thanks gallagherhelen! Glad you're seeking out the canoe as you settle in to Canada :)
CHEEK MEAT! Nothing beats that prized morsel. 😊 Jon, I believe the happiness on your face in seeing the light on the erratic offsets the loss of the net. You were like a kid at Christmas. Love the series!
Hahaha happiest moment of my life, apparently....
Just getting to these videos. Glad Erin's ankle was OK. Great scenery.
Erin is our new super hero 🦸♀️! Phew, ok now I am watch the rest of the video.
❤️🇨🇦
Thank you Barb for sponsoring this trip. I'm loving this series. Thanks guys!
😂 Thanks Shane!!
Yeeeeeahhhhhhhh! The time Jim catches a fish while Ted is sick and Ted yells out over the river is the best
😝😝
Well if nothing else you’s got the Baird brothers down pat. That was hilarious. You’s are both like the energizer bunny. You get hurt but just keep going. Can’t imagine the pain from that swollen ankle and your back also. Most respect for the two of you’s and your determination to keep going. Just such beauty you’s are showing us that most of us will never see. Thanks again for all your incredible hard work. Greatly appreciated.😘
Hahaha thanks Trisha!! Had to make that joke on Baird Lake...
I decided to get my own Quetico maps out during this episode, so I may follow your route - really a joy! Erin, my goodness, your poor ankle was crazy swollen! WOW! Thanks guys! Peaceful journeys...
Awesome Moe :) I enjoy doing that on videos too. It was pretty rough...poor girl
Like I’ve said before, you guys are too cute together. The team work that you both give toward each other is so awesome. It makes these tough adventures more pleasurable. Love your videos, keep them coming.
Thanks so much Theresa!! :)
Yours and Erins perseverance is incredibly admirable, another great video !!
Thanks Andrew!!
It is delightful to watch people who remain positive despite difficulties and when things do not go as planned. Bad weather, accidents, crappy portages. Well done guys!
Well, admittedly I had my "mood" in episode 3 but appreciate that SB!!
Blood sweat and tears. This trip is epic! You both are hard working people and you know how to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Appreciate that Dustin!
Just got back from 4 days in the Wollowa Wilderness in Northeastern Oregon, thought about your guys’ channel on more than one occasion while looking at 12” cutthroat trout swimming tantalizing close to enormous granite slabs plunging into the crystal clear lakes at 8000’.

LOL can't explain it...must've had some happy chemicals in my noggin that morning
Jonny Boy! That photon question was deep.
My research continues.
Will report back.
Oh ya, and the sun off the top of that erratic..
AMAZING!
Absolutely awesome trip so far guys!
You two are Rockstars of the Canoeniverse!!
Ya I went there... Hahahaha
Hahah thanks man!!! Some great comments on that subject and the answer is that it technically could, if the light isn't absorbed or reflected by something first like particles in the atmosphere
The color on those fish really shows how healthy that fishery is. Dark skin, tannin filled water, man it's really beautiful. I miss the Taiga smells, that fresh clean pine air. Miss it lots.
P.s. your such a kid, so proud of that rock, precious
Hahaha still don't know why I was smiling so big. It's the best smell...puts me at ease
Absolutely lost it at your synchronized "YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH"! ❤️ You have reduced the poor Baird boys to memes! 😂
LOL
An injury in the park is very scary. Glad all is well. Sark lake is great fishing and our family has stayed at that same site multiple times. One of the best sites in the park.
Awesome Paul! Probably my favourite site of the trip, and one of my favourite lakes there too. Really wish we had more time on it
-The GoPro, being a horribly unreliable thing, decided not to record an earlier shot I took about the poison ivy on my arm. That's why I jumped into that shot awkwardly with no context.

A photon or two might have escaped into space, but you'll never know!
Erin you are a keeper .... Beautiful and strong willed..... What a adventure .... Well done guys
She sure is 🧡
Another fantastic video Jon. Erin is a trooper, fortunately most of your days are spent paddling not hiking but by the looks of her ankle the portages cannot be too pleasant.

Making memories to last forever - enjoy - God is good.
Making a bag of M&Ms last that long has impressed my husband and I more than anything else.....lol.
😂😂

Barbs dehydrated meals there’s an episode I would watch.....!?👍
LOL
Can't be finishing a day with Sig Olson! Glad Erin ok and what a trooper!
Accidents can happen so quickly, glad to see that Erin is ok! I just came back from 2 nights backcountry camping and I took a page out of your book. I left a bag of chocolate chip cookies in my truck for the ride home, it tasted great and a great idea. Thanks for another great video, cheers!
Hahaha always a treat! Thanks Jim :)
54:00 I thought Erin maybe whittled you a little fishing net! Another great video...
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow, amazing how localized the damage can be. Like a tornado taking out a house but missing the next one
Out of scotch time to go home. Nice drone views and beginnings of your videos. Erin seems to be catching the larger fish as it should be. Glad to see her ankle wasn’t or didn’t appear to be broken. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, trust me your not missing anything. Be safe!
Hahaha should've brought more scotch...but the barrel was FULL.
Well you were completely ecstatic about the erratic rock Jon 😂. If Erin wasn’t with you I feel you would have spent hours just staring at it in peaceful bliss. Lots of ups & downs in this episode but you guys always persevere! 🇨🇦
LOL still not sure why I was smiling so big

I have been through there along time ago. That is very pretty country. Your video has been very enjoyable. Thanks for your time and expertise.
Much appreciated Brian :)
So glad Erin was ok. One of those tough days that seem to make the good days that much sweeter. It would not be a true canoe trip without one terrible, horrible,no good, very bad day.
Very true :)
Wonderful Part 4! I am so glad that Erin was ok, whew! Some beautiful lakes that you two traveled! Thanks for sharing! :)
was on some of those lakes in 1975 as a Boy Scout. Will never forget the "Bathtub" on Lake Louisa. THANKS
Hope you kept that little paddle Erin made. Very cool and special to get a gift that is hand made and thoughtful like that 👍
i have been stuck at home for 8 weeks nursing mutipl broken ribs and i have loved your couples, solo and joe robinet videos.thank you so much for publishing them, one thing though, for some one who spends as much time on the water as you do and doesnt put floats on important kit, like a landing net............. dont blame other people and get the bottom lip out about it lol. love what you do , sot it out John x
That is the best chocolate!! Have two bars in my frig.
You two are total rock stars. We are witnessing an epic cinematic production in my book. Rock On!! ATB Mike
Thank you as always Mike!!

Wow that's some awesome physics...got a few responses on this question but this is a new perspective. Thanks Andrea!
Part four might be my favourite of this series! Beautiful footage! And multiple dips 🏊♀️🏊♂️
Thanks Kes! Same here. LOL all about the dips with you...
Glad Erin is doing better. I have never considered the north woods a jungle but it really is. Thankfully there are the lakes
when there's an injury, one of the first things you can do , along with first aid, is gently wrap your hands around the sore area (on you or on someone else) and visualize healing energy going into it, this can be very comforting for the injured party and help them relax also, getting attention from another person.
Been waiting, thank you! Take care, state healthy.
Wonderful way to spend my Sunday evening. Thank greatly.
Thanks Julie!
Just an amazing series ! So glad Erin was ok.
Thanks beaverdriller!!
Excellent series thus far you two. Trials and tribulations abound... good times!!
Swiss Chocolate🇨🇭 is always good! Greetings from Switzerland!
😁👋👋
Have you considered adding a cheap weather radio to the kit for longer trips?
For some reason I've never looked into it, nor did I think they were cheap. Put this on my list---thanks!!
“Baird Lake. Like Baird brothers? Yeeeeeeeeaaaaa....” 😂😂
Lol had to...
Don’t know if it’s Erin or Aaron, but she is a very strong lady and a fantastic wilderness camper. God bless you both.
She sure is (Erin) 🙂 Much appreciated!
Your videos don't disappoint, another great one.Erin, you are tough
Thanks Diane!!
Anterior talofibular ligament trauma! Nice shiner ya got there Erin. The cool waters of the lake and a little elevation here and there and should be good to go. Range of motion is KING.

Your filmmaking rivals the best out there: So very glad to see your content over these past few months. Looking forward to all you present to us, those hungry for the various outdoor experiences you’re doing. Bravo.
Thank you so much NJB!! Hahah bloody Leafs...but dang I miss them at this time of year
You guys are fun to watch.
Thanks Joseph :)
Don’t worry John, I geek out over erratics also. We have some up the river from our house that are as big as a house and have a flat top. Makes for nice photos if you can climb up on them.
Hahah thanks Roger, sounds awesome!
I've been to the BWCA so many time, but it is so nice to live vicariously through you. Thanks!
Thanks Dominic! It's awesome how that area is protected on both sides of the border :)
Still loving this adventure.
You should invest in a pocket bellows ($20 ish). It’s a great piece of kit. Love all your content but this long trip is golden. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks Johnny!! Funny enough, Erin's dad makes some ("Billy Bellows") and sells them for $20 lol. Packed as light as possible on this one though so I don't think we had one with us
Backcountry Angling Ontario My wife got me one for Christmas a couple years ago and at the time I pretended to like it but man I’ve used it so many times now that it’s permanently in my fire kits. I can understand a long trip like that saving weight as much as you can. Thumbs up for all your content.
Keep on keeping on 👍always awesome
Love your videos, I’d like to make a request, if you don’t mind. Can you post a picture showing the route you took for your complete journey? Maybe in the final video, or maybe a video dedicated to your route including your campsites. I know, I know more work.....😁😁😁. This is what happens when you have great content, people want more. 😀😀😀
Hahah thanks Steven!! Good news...the map is linked in the video description :)
Love your German, Jon! Kartoffelpuffer are veeeery similar to Latkes and super easy to make. Bringing shredded potaturrs and an egg to bind it will make great Puffer.
2 of my best days ever in the Q were on Sark. What beautiful memories.
DO YOU SWIM IN THE AREA FIRST BEFORE JUMPING IN OFF THE ROCKS TO BE SAFE ? GORGEOUS WEATHER IF IT WASN'T SO WINDY .
I think we had the same mother David
Lol we just jump really shallow. The water's pretty clear so you can see bottom if it's not deep enough
Really in joying this trip guys.
Thanks Dave!
Loved the homage to the Baird brothers!
Whoo part 4, glad Erin is OK.... 4 mins in... Gonna be another fantastic episode!
Ok... Great episode, the views alone are just stunning, I'm not at all jealous... Much!
Hahah thanks Andy!
Great video.erin is a tough cookie.im enjoying your videos.
Thanks John :)
This has been a great series so far.
Thanks Josh!
Poison ivy, yeah it takes 12-24hrs to show itself usually, and about 72hrs to hit its peak. If you’re immune to it as I was, you eventually lose the immunity to repeated exposure. At least that was my experience.
And that ankle. Wow , she’s pretty tough . Looking forward to part 5 ...
This place was amazing thank you. ❤️🌹
Thanks Bryan :)
My problem was I had a brand new canoe and was testing out how the weight would work in the boat. If I didn’t have a stick stove (which I see you don’t use) I would have been took hungry
We didn't bring one this time top save weight but have two...just got a new one which I love. Kelly Kettle Hobo Stove
I’m basically an expert at locating poison ivy unknowingly. I always where my flip flops and have had it on my toes far too many times. One day I will learn. From my experience, I think it takes a few days to show up and maybe 4/5 days after that before it’s at its climax but I hear it’s not the same for everyone.
Are Stable fly the annoying housefly look a likes that constantly bite your feet and never piss off when you’re in the canoe?
That is the fly in question for sure! Disguised as a house fly but has a sabre for a mouth!
Brentdarley those bastards! Man are they ever annoying.
LOL truly unfortunate area of expertise. That's the one!!!
Another awesome episode 🤘 That erratic was pretty neato!
For a second I thought that it was the original Conjuring Rock at 47:44!
@@ActuallyAndrewFishing Hahahaha Nice. The original Conjuring Rock can actually be found on the Missinaibi River
@@Paddleheads Very cool... I bet there is a story worth sharing there.
Love your videos! Glad Erin is ok. Can’t wait for the next video. We didn’t watch Any football yesterday, spent the day binge watching you guys! Very good day!
Hahah love that...thanks Bret!!
Technically the beam of light goes on forever...well, until it collides with something (dust, other gases). Your headlamp isn’t bright enough for the photons to actually make it to space. Those must have been some dark skies before the moonrise! I was in Algonquin for the Perseid meteor shower amp n mid August. It was breathtaking!! Anyways, I absolutely love your vids. You’re both hardcore and yet have such gentle souls. Keep up the amazing content!
Excellent, thanks for this Michel! And for the kind words!!
baird brothers made me laugh so hard. erin is so funny. the poo sorry made me laugh even hardwr. wonderful trip! but here in germany no one eats kartoffel puffer with chilli. we prefer stamped apple puree.
LOL. Cool! Never seen the Kartoffel brand here before
Finding out the Leafs are out of the playoffs while on a canoe portage is literally the most Canadian thing I've ever heard in my life.
LOL
Hahaha touché!
That is lovely country. Our neighbor had a tree like that pine split their house in two.
😐that is crazy! That would be terrifying!
Yikes!!
What were you guys eating that was such a treat? More so than the chocolates?
That one meme---
Erin sneers at Jonathan.
Jonathan purses his lips looking over his shoulder at Glacial Erratic.
Glacial Erratic looks all smug and glacially errotic.
😂😂
Holy smokes, that bass Erin caught has a bigger mouth than me ! Glad your knee's OK.
Jon, your filming style is so easy-going and relaxing, I sometimes have to force myself to change channels lol! Thanks so much
Great adventure as usual. Thank you. I gotta get there someday . . .
This trick really helps when your feet are sore. As soon as you get to camp, loosen up your boots, and find a place to lay on your back for at least 10 minutes with your feet propped up above the level of your heart. This helps your circulatory system get rid of excess fluid in your feet.
Come to think of it, you might be able to adjust your hammock to this position.
Thanks for this Wesley!!
How in the world did you not have any bug issues, that is the thing that really stands out for me. Scary moment with Erin and her ankle. Wish I could have made it over the border to get some paddling and fishing in. But backcountry videos help fill the void!
It was pretty fantastic. August can be decent for bugs, but it can also be terrible. I did a 9-day trip last year at the same time and they were awful. So it was a welcome surprise. Only real nuisance were the stable flies, but they pale in comparison to mosquitoes or black flies
I’ve been so stressed to find out what happened to poor Erin’s ankle. 🤞🏼
I just love the Quetico, but had to forego and stay in the BWCA due to the pandemic and the border closure...Really great video.
Thanks a lot Mike! Let's hope 2021 is different
Aaahh ! Kartoffell puffer , my favorite! Still with ya guys. After awhile I almost feel guilty as I lay in my comfortable bed and watch the ups and downs of such an epic journey. Have you considered a small map segment edited in showing your daily progress . I think folks would find it interesting . Just a thought. Really enjoying this one. Thanks guys! And by the way at least your not a Sabres fan . Lol
Too true, it could be worse 😂 I dabbled with it a little before at home but I thought it looked junky and just don't have the editing skills to pull it off. Usually I post a custom map in the video descriptions instead :) Thanks Adam!
Awesome video guys.
Thanks Peter!
High% isopropyl rinse followed by a water rinse will clear up any poison ivy. Glad it didn’t get outta hand!
Thanks Evan!
