Wow. So relaxing. Nice gear Larry. I gave my wannigan away because I found it too awkward to carry. Gorgeous canoe(again) Thanks for taking the time to film and share. Love how you always seem to be so relaxed. I took my cedar strip to Jubilee last October, stayed on the site with strange rocks (site farthest southeast) We went rain daisy petawawa misty and back via jubilee. Great loop. Looking forward to your next episode, and seeing where your paddle takes you. It'd be great to run into you some time. Maybe Bonnechere in October?
Thanks Harley. That sounds like the same loop I did. I stayed on Misty the next night, then went up the Petawawa through Daisy and down to Casy where I stayed for two nights and then back to the car. I've been meaning to get to Bonnechere. Maybe October!
Sir, you do not give yourself enough credit, I am not surprised at all that you were recognised by a fellow utube fan your trips are always enjoyable to watch with great hints and tips including the Laniggan LOL ATB and you. may not have a huge subscriber base but some of us know quality when we see it, keep up with the videos.
Hey Larry: That's a spiffy canoe. Something to be really proud of. I'm sure she will get only the best of care. Sure looks like a great trip ; thanks for bringing me along Brian 77
The video was published July 27th, but if you mentioned when this trip took place, I missed it. At a guess, earlier in July? Definitely a helpful video for trip planning. Thanks!
Looks like a nice start! I like the classic style you've got going on. The canoe, the wanigan and the pack all could be from 100 years ago, but the GoPro and InReach says "I'm sophisticated but smart" haha. Looking forward to the rest
Good stuff Larry! I'd literally never heard the word 'wanigan' before this video. Fortunately I don't have to debate whether or not to build one for myself since I couldn't fit it in my kayak anyway. Looking forward to the next part!
The wannigan weighs about 6 kilos (13lbs). I got the tumpline from a guy in Temagami Ontario who makes them for the camps up. there. It would be fairly easy to make one yourself though.
Thanks for your response, I was focusing on going the Joe Robinet, Shawn James route and lightening my pack for single carries, but then I re watched your video and decided to make a wannigan for my spring solo. Comfort over speed at least for this one. Hope to see you in the park one day, I have learned a lot from your videos. Hopefully you are planning a trip soon, take care.
I know exactly what you mean and thanks very much for the comment. The trips I do with my brother tend to be more minimalist so we can do single carries, but I do like to be comfortable when I'm out there and I'm not trying to set any records - just enjoy the outdoors. When I'm solo I have to double anyway because my boat is heavier (I know younger, stronger folks could do it single, but I am wary of hurting myself solo) so I don't skimp if it means I can add a degree of comfort. I'm having a campfire tent (similar to the one Bill Mason used) made right now that I think will add even more to my trips, especially on rainy days. I hope to get out on a nice long solo trip this summer and use it together with the wannigan.
Nice work Larry. You've turned into a CZcams sensation since I last watched your films! I've got a bit of time now so I'm trying to catch up. On to eps2.
New sub, followed over from Scott's channel, via Joe R's channel. Winter has set in. Looking forward to open water but will enjoy the ice and cold. If I watch enough Canadian canoeist I may pronounce portage your way.
i've been looking at an inreach as well. I do a lot of fishing, ice fishing, and trapping and not all areas have cell service. And a simple text to the loved ones would be nice to be able to do. looks like the weather was good this trip.
I've had the Inreach SE for about 3-4 years? Since it came out.. used it for a few dozen trips since then. Never had a problem. Even forgot it on a train once and tracked it back to the specific car in the trianyard :)
Thanks. I haven't done a review given some of the issues I have had with the previous one. I'll give it a year and maybe talk about it further in another video.
Great video Larry! Thanks for mentioning my channel. It was a pleasure meeting you out on Rain Lake. Hope to see you in the park again.
Drenalin Outdoor Adventures a pleasure meeting you as well. I'm sure we'll cross paths again!
Very pretty view from your campsite
Pls let us know more about that box you made and why it’s so special. Thanks 🇨🇦👍. Another great trip.
Wonderful share! Stated portage lengths would be VERY helpful.
Great video Larry, see you on the trail. Atb Joe.

Thanks Brian. Yes, I really like her. It's hard not to get the odd scratch on her though but to me that becomes part of her charm.
Nice wannigan! We stayed on Jubilee last year, just across from the site you're on, beautiful little lake.
redoleary4 thanks. I loved the wannigan at camp. Jubilee is a great lake for sure.
Wonderful Larry ! Very nice !
Thanks very much!

Hi Jim. Thanks for watching. It was July 18-22.
Your kit gets better looking every year!
My Self Reliance thanks Shawn. I do like the traditional style gear. I'm a bit of a romantic I guess. Either that or a sucker for punishment.
Looks like a nice start! I like the classic style you've got going on. The canoe, the wanigan and the pack all could be from 100 years ago, but the GoPro and InReach says "I'm sophisticated but smart" haha. Looking forward to the rest
Glad to see ya back, I guess your brother couldn't make it
charles merritt thanks Charles. No he couldn't come out this time.
Great video Larry!! Was that an Adventure Sworn Knife on your belt?
It was. I have two of them! I have a little bit of an obsession with knives.
Great video and beautiful spot Larry! Thanks for sharing :)
Chris Prouse thanks Chris. I lucked out on the weather too.
Looks like a peaceful and beautiful place!
Great video Larry, I love that access point! Beautiful lakes!
Excellent video Larry, look forward to the rest of the trip.
Love seeing the cedar boat out again Larry.
Great video...Looking forward to watching the rest!
Thanks Brooke!
I was waiting on this video! Thanks for posting!
Peregrine Videos thanks! I always look forward to your vids as well.
Good stuff Larry! I'd literally never heard the word 'wanigan' before this video. Fortunately I don't have to debate whether or not to build one for myself since I couldn't fit it in my kayak anyway. Looking forward to the next part!
Yes my fiancé and myself have been hoping you'd post another video Larry!!! Saving this for tonight :)
Hi Larry, great video! How much does your wannigan weigh empty? Also where did you get your tumpline?
The wannigan weighs about 6 kilos (13lbs). I got the tumpline from a guy in Temagami Ontario who makes them for the camps up. there. It would be fairly easy to make one yourself though.

Thanks for the sub! I do like the open water as well, but there's lots of fun to be had in the winter as well for sure!
i've been looking at an inreach as well. I do a lot of fishing, ice fishing, and trapping and not all areas have cell service. And a simple text to the loved ones would be nice to be able to do.

Weather was great Adam, much better than in the spring! The InReach is a great device to have particularly if you're on your own.
Love the camera work...almost felt like I was in the canoe with you!
I've had the Inreach SE for about 3-4 years? Since it came out.. used it for a few dozen trips since then. Never had a problem. Even forgot it on a train once and tracked it back to the specific car in the trianyard :)
Great video. Did you review the in reach yet? I want one. If not you should take about in an up coming video.
Thanks. I haven't done a review given some of the issues I have had with the previous one. I'll give it a year and maybe talk about it further in another video.
I have a inreach for 2yrs now and no failures.
Right on Great video. I was saying to myself the other day when will Larry be posting another video lol
Terry Junior thanks Terry. Glad you enjoyed it.
Was thinking of Algonquin but way too busy and easy for me
What time did you leave Rain lake Access Point?
I think it was around 11.
