LISTEN to these gals folks. They Know what they're doing . Something for EVERYONE.
Tons of knowledge, experience & WISDOM here. No matter Where you're going or doing.
Really well done ladies.
Thanks! Glad to help :)
You're Welcome. I like your Style.If I were 40 years younger, I'd drag my canoe over there and have a paddle with you two.
having issue hearing with low audio
You guys complement each other like ying and yang. Thanks for all the valuable helpful information.
Chris you have a really soothing voice. You are so well spoken and concise.
Cheers.
I feel like Chris would be an amazing ASMR artist. Her voice is so soothing!
I just kept thinking throughout the video how kind you both are in sharing your experiences to help others... thanks so much! This is a wonderful resource which Ill definitely want to watch again. Rob
Thanks Rob! Glad to hear - that means a lot to us :)
What a wonderful resource. And you two are really great souls. One truly gets your love of the park and that you hope that everyone else's enjoyment instills a greater appreciation of it. Been some time since I've canoed in myself, but dying to do so. Thanks again fir the inspiration , education and spark to do just that. Cheers! Carolyn 👍😃
My 14 year old daughter just giggled at the part on how to accumulate gear through dad. Lol. I guess we know where my gear is going in a couple of years. Lol. Great video ladies! A great reference for people to openly access. Thanks for posting it. Cheers.
I want to go to Algonquin park just from watching your videos. It looks so amazing!
Thanks for watching - you should totally go for it! :)
Great to see you all posting again!
Thanks for watching! :)
Always love your videos. Thanks for sharing your How to Canoe Camp in Algonquin Park. Great tips and video.
Thanks Randy! Stoked to pickup the new Keewaydin 16 canoe at Algonquin Outfitters - we really appreciate all your help! :)
Camping in Algonquin has to be some of my best camping memories yet! I love it because it's so big that it's great for those quiet and calm trips up north, but also great for making friends in the more populated areas. I remember, the only people I camped with before were my dad and my best friend, but I've made so many friends during our more social trips, it really gives you an idea of how nice and welcoming the camping community can be!
I have been binge watching your videos since Joe suggested your channel, wow and thanks, great content, i will be following your videos 🙂
I came across you ladies by accident, I must say. You ladies rock. Calm, cool and beautiful and outdoorsy....
Aww! Thanks so much Warren, and welcome to the channel :)
Love your videos. Almost always learn something new through your tips. I’ve been canoe camping/ fishing for over 40 years and happy to say I still learn something new on each trip. Only wish I could still carry as heavy a load on a portage as you guys but age has its compromises. Can’t sign off without saying you two have a beautiful baby. Keep the videos coming.
Aww! Thanks so much Ron! Glad to hear - so true - we’re always humbled by how much we continue to learn out there :)
Great video! Love the format and the co-hosts! Though the cat didn't last long ;-) Seriously - great resource!!
+The Art of Photography Thanks Ted! Haha - can't tell you how many times I've thought about taking Finn along with us camping... though the inflatable air mattresses would probably last about 5 minutes with those claws 😄
I've seen some of your videos and can't figure how you do so much on so little food. My son and I go on some of the same routes as you but our food needs are larger and with more equipment
Love the coffee mug with the bicycle!!! Bike touring rocks.
Excellent video. I have been on many trips in Algonquin Park and your advice will be helpful to new canoe campers. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you and enjoy this season.
Great video as usual! Lots of fantastic advice. Second the PFD advice, especially in the spring just after ice out.
I'm five minutes into this video and it already made my day!
Glad to hear - thanks for watching! :)
Love it, Chris and Julia! A great "how to" on canoe camping!
Another great video. Thanks Chris and Julia.
Thanks Carlotta! :)
Love that saw. Best new addition to our kit.
WOW! I can't believe you guys did this video! We were planing our canoe trip for the past few days on Algonquin! We watched all your videos more than once looking for details. Thanks! :]
Cool! So glad to hear - hope you have a great trip Nilo! :)
Thanks so much for your videos. They literally sustain me while doing my treadmill walks in January and February! So informative and a real please use to watch. You guys are great.
I was completely ensconced as usual! Hopefully I can watch the rest of this as I get on a plane to Banff tomorrow. I'm really glad you posted this because canoe camping is something I've wanted to do for years but really don't know much about it! Thank you!! -- On a side note, I love all you do in your videos. The 'Bings" when you have a note, the timing.. everything else. Its all so very professional.
Thanks Geoff! Glad to hear and hope you have a great trip to Banff! Will you be doing any hiking or trekking out there?
8 days of hiking.. Four in Banff and four in Jasper Parks! I'd be thrilled if you both would consider visiting my instagram page @maxxam_originals :)
Just the video I've been waiting for! Thanks for this - it was extremely helpful and informative! Cant wait to see more camping vids from you two this summer !! :)
Love your vids, very professionally done
Great advice , Awesome vid. Love Julias hair cut. Looks great .
Thanks Lisa! :)

Thanks Ian! :)
After watching all your videos my son and me "TOTAL NEWBIES" to backcountry camping finally got some courage and did our fist canoe trip into the Algonquin after a few weeks off prepping (getting all the gear ready) Trip was to the Burnt Island Lake. We have only two word to describe the trip..... PURE MAGIC. We found your videos invaluable. Thank you again....:)
This is great, thank you! I really enjoy watching your videos and look forward to new ones. Cheers!
I'm so excited to canoe tooooo!!!
Nice! Thanks for watching! :)
Just wanna say how much I appreciate this video (and all the previous ones!). Getting ready for a 4 day canoe trip on the river Loire in France with my wife and labrador pup. Wild camping as we go. Always helpful to check my gear list against others. Thnx!
Wow. Comprehensive video with useful info and great progression. Bravo!!!
I've been tagging along with you for a while now and it's been so much fun. Thanks! You are the perfect partners in every way... love, wisdom and silliness. I hope there's more to come! Much love to Cedar, what a great little guy!
Another extremely well produced video! So good! We love your videos and we're so excited to see another one! It's been too long ;) Thanks so much for putting this together. We definitely need to make our way out there!
Great video ladies. I just purchased a canoe and I am ready to checkout Algonquin park!
Thanks David! Cool - hope you have a great trip! :)
Thank you! This is a great resource for those of us planning our first trip, also thanks for turning me on to the aero press it's now my favorite coffee maker. peace.

I'm going on my first Alqonquin Park portaging trip with a group of friends in the beginning of August and this video was SO helpful! I've been stressing about gear and packing for months so thank you for the excellent advice! Love your videos!
Yay, you and joe robinet both upload videos relating to canoeing at Algonquin Park on the same day. :D Both who I was looking forward to new releases from!

Hi
I was checking out some You Tube footage of canoeing across Scotland on the Caledonian canal when I came across your adventures in Algonquin park.... Wow, that looks brilliant and I look forward to seeing some more of your videos.
Rob
Seriously, what a great effort from you both. Well done. Love the bits about "get your dad to take you camping and buy you gear" that seems to be how it works for a lot of folk! I'm also very pleased you got this episode sponsored!
Heading out on a solo 7-day canoe trip in Algonquin Park, starting at Grand Lake. Will be in the Park for Canada Day!! WOOOOOOOO
So glad I found your channel,you guys rock.
you two rock.......that's so cool that you post these videos. I recently got back into backpacking and really appreciate your effort, knowledge and opinions. Please keep it up.....thank you
I’m a long distance hiker potentially looking to get into overnight canoe trips. Your video was very informative. Thank you!
You guys are great. Brilliant video. Thank you.
another great video !
Great video Chris, you guys are awesome!
Quick question, what kind of PLB do you guys have?
Fantastic information!.....thanks for sharing.
Formidable , Bravo !!!
Merci! :)
Outstanding video! very through and informative. I've been canoe canoe camping for years in the us but never been to Algonquin. Your video inspires me to look into it, sounds awesome!
My husband is an Algonquin Park Ranger and he gives this a thumbs up too!
Nice to see a healthy couple enjoying the outdoors:) just happened upon the vids today- good stuff.
Thank you! :)
Great PSA about life vests! They are sooo important and have saved many lives, sadly we only hear about the ones that fail to wear them. Great video!
Good tips, thanks
My partner and I are planning our first Algonquin Park backcountry camping trip together at the end of August. I stumbled upon your page looking for resources and am so beyond thrilled and grateful I found you - your videos are not only informative & beautifully captured, it has been so inspiring to find other queer adventurers taking on the world together! You both are awesome :)
Awww I like you two. You guys are fun. Thanks for the info :)
Great job, this is an awesome video for beginners, I will be sure to recommend it!
Just got back last night from Big Crow with inspiration from your Big Algonquin Canoe Trip day 3 video. Thanks so much for great content and recommending the Avenza app with Jeffs map. That was super helpful. Your videos are extremely helpful and fun to watch.
Excellent information and well presented. Thanks girls!
I watched your video .... after my first trip to Algonquin. Although, there are a few things I would do different, I fell in love with the whole package, canoeing, portages, camping!! I am in awe of you both, you are amazing. I hope to pass you someday in Algonquin!
Best Algonquin canoe camping resource I've found on youtube. Thanks eh!
I love this "...Just take the good camping equipment your dad bought when you were younger and just borrow it.... indefinitely." So true! My boyfriend and I love watching you two! We go backcountry canoe camping A LOT, but with a twist, we have a sail kit for our canoe. It's really fun and it's almost always super windy where we go. At only a 15 min setup or take down, we can be pretty mobile. Would love to see more canoe camping vids!
I had just come across your videos and thought...."What the heck....check'em out...." I started off with your winter camp in the 4 season tent/cabin and before I know it I am like 7 videos in to watching you two. You guys a great, funny as hell at times and full of life. A joy to watch. Thank you ladies from Brampton.
Great job. Thanks for starting off with the PFD bit. I'm guilty of having a bunch of early videos not wearing one too. Same as you mention, I think its a big part of our social responsibility to always have them on now. Again, great job. Hopefully I'll see you out on the trail one day!
Always a great video. I'm hoping to get there with the family this year. might just be an out and back and not a multiday trip.
Thanks Steve! You should totally go for it! :)
going to try!
Steve Hughes there are campsites along Hyw 60 with all the amenities, (showers, flush toilets, a laundromat). like Mew Lake. When my kids were little we took them camping there. There are trails nearby for hiking not too long, but just right for 5 and 6-year-olds, guided walks, an amphitheater that shows nature films like Algonquin wolves, etc. It's a wonderful SAFE way to introduce your family to camping. Later on, down the road, you might want to give camping in the park interior a try, and if canoeing just doesn't work (for whatever reason) there are lots of (camping) trails that lead you through the interior. Algonquin Park is my favorite place in the world!
Of course you upload this video AFTER I get back from the park! ; )
great video. Lots of advice for both novice and seasoned vets
Very good video , instructive and well-worked.
I would like to thank you sooooooooooooooo much for this video!
I'm french and curently planning a trip in Algonquin park for july and i can't find any precise and reliable video or article about how to plan it. I learned a lot thanks to you, i hope you will continue to shoot other super useful content!
Please stay awesome, you both are wonderful !
Thank you so much for this video.
Excellent video for the back country, thanks for this. Julia is so right about adopting your father stuff as my daughter has been doing that but I did it to, circle of like Simba.
AWESOME ! THANK YOU ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !
I don't get out much any more but I generally don't do campfires, they seem more work than the enjoyment I get out of them. Thanks for sharing, it was fun and informative to watch.
Thanks for the tips Ladies. Julia looking great with the short cut :)
Very informative, thanks! I did enjoy the way you used the Loon call for each segment. Reminded me of books with audio cassette tapes from my youth, where the sound of the bird (usually) let you know when to turn the page. Looking forward to your next Algonquin trip. 🙂
What a terrific survey for beginner trippers. The explanation regarding the paddles, very helpful. Scoping for my first canoe. Done a bit of canoe tripping when much younger at La Mauricie in Qc. Rented canoes, but super heavy on the portages.
Thanks for the great information
You girls make such nice videos, always a pleasure to watch. And I'm not even interested in canoeing whatsoever. Watching this because of the vibes! Thank you 😍
awesome content! 😊
Thank you! :)
Thumbs up for a stealthy drink steal @7:29 :)
Thank you for your amazing videos. I've never been to Algonquin but it's definitely on my bucket list now.
I find you both very relaxing to listen too.
Another great video . Good to see you guys . You forgot your coffee press , must have in the morning . Thanks for showing us the gear you take on a trip . How heavy is everything minus the canoe ? ATB Ken 🇨🇦
Thank you so much Ken!! We received your recent gift of gear, which we'll be putting to good use on our next trip coming up soon - we really appreciate it, and it was incredibly generous of you! We have a thank-you card coming your way shortly :) You're entirely right - as the video was uploading we suddenly realized we'd forgotten to include the coffee press. For those reading this comment, we love taking an AeroPress along with us, which is both lightweight and easy to use out in the backcountry :)
Hello Chris and Julie, great canoe and ski videos, your story together too. I discovered you thru Kevin Callan channels link.
Your videos are really well-made and interesting.
However, very happy to see you wearing a PFD from now on, safety is always a first priority no matter fit and experience we are.
Hope to meet you one day on a river, snowshoeing or skiing.

Brilliantly helpful, both of you; engaging, informative and realistic. It makes us sorry that we are on the wrong side of the Atlantic, but we'll go back again to Algonquin Park - that's certain. Your videos will keep alive our very positive memories of this September's trip. Thank you both.
