Hey Ben just wanna say thank you for your amazing content.I’ve been living in Ontario for the past 5 years and never knew such beautiful and serene places like you show in your videos existed here in Ontario.Watching your channel motivated me to get all my winter camping gear and plan my first camping trip with my girlfriend,also now preparing to get a canoe for portaging/ fishing trips in Temagami and Algonquin come spring.Thank you keep up the great work!
Amazing! That makes me so happy to hear. Shoot me a message on IG if you ever have any questions about trip planning etc. I’m not an expert at this by any means but I’m happy to share what I do know. thanks!
Very nice! The blueness observed in these lakes has to do with water clarity and low nutrients typical in oligotrophic (shield) lakes. These lakes are low in nutrients and dissolved solids so the colour blue in the light spectrum is not absorbed in the water but is dissipated throughout the water column. Acid rain from smelting and industrial SO2 emissions has killed off nutrients and clarified lakes as well. Killarney area is best example of this but I believe the fish are slowly coming back.
Exactly! Clay is great at absorbing acid rain and neutralizing it, the problem with the Killarney area lakes is they are mostly rock and lack lime stone or clay which help mitigate the negative effects of acid rain, hence why it caused several dead lakes. The MNR has been working to balance the PH in the lakes by adding lime so hopefully they can regain their biodiversity!
No problem Ben and thanks for another great video. I have since seen Evan's video where he explains about impacts of uranium mining causing the blueness as told by the locals. In this case I would suspect the lake you went to was acidified by upstream acid mine drainage from wasterock piles and/or tailings from previous uranium mining and milling.
Awesome video, especially the drone footage! How did you feel like the Prospecteur 15 and Pocket Canyon compared for this trip? I've been debating which one to buy.
I love both boats for different scenarios. The Prospecteur 15 is super versatile and a classic canoe for tripping. I use it primarily for solo trips but it does have two seats so it can but used tandem but I would go with a 16’ or even 17’ if you’re always going to have 2 people. The pocket canyon is more suited for river paddling and white water specifically, but it can also be used for longer backcountry trips. I’m sending @evan_le5 your way he’s the real expert
@@benbeauchamp16 thanks for the insight Ben! I've been bingeing your videos the last few days now and they've all excellent! Just really well-made and relatable.
Young man, I wish you the best for your clean and sober future. But, may I suggest you not yell out Jesus Name in a foul swearing usage. To many people Jesus is the Son of God and the one Who paid for their sins (yours too, btw). That took your sweet presence and sent it right down the loo.
I always try to censor foul language for the kids that watch my videos. If I yelled something I promise it wasn’t in a negative way, probably just got excited reeling in a big fish. I’m all love for the outdoors, all positivity, nothing against religion man.
Nice little video Ben very beautiful lake😊🔥👍🐟
Thanks Wendy!! :)
3:12 I like the little twig stove

@@benbeauchamp16 hey!unfortunately I don’t use social media is there any way I can email you?
With that visibility, you need to portage your dive gear into that lake and get us some underwater footage!
I like the way you think…

Oh wow thanks for the info! I need more people like you in my comments. Awesome.

@@AnglingUpNorth So are these ohhhh so secret lakes in the Elliott Lake area?
2:32 beautiful spot to have a camp
Awesome shots 👍👍
Thank you! :)
just found ur channel, kinda elite. sick videos man keep it up
Pretty lakes, looks alot like the lakes just east of Elliot Lake.
You should do a gear guide video if you haven't already. I live near Ottawa and would love to get out on a trip like this but don't have any gear.
7 minutes in and I think I just learned where Pepto-Bismol comes from 😆
It grows wild in Ontario😂😂
Gorgeous area, was it in Ontario?
I could love to hate watching a whole video about popping log fungus lol
Hahaha right? I trusted Evan that it’s non-toxic but I still haven’t looked it up…
🤙👍🏻
First like ❤
You’re the best!

Is that pepto bismol of the woods? 😅
yes indeed
Active CC in videos ! Please
🐐 goat
Haha maybe one day, thank you!
Great video Ben. Reach out if you're interested in a collaboration video sometime. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love your channel
Thank you so much!!
would you be willing to collab with me on a quebec camping trip
Yes but I will need to see your portfolio first
Reminds me of Lac Vert in QC. You in the 613/819?
