- Part 1 of 6. Wild Wabakimi is a documentary-style video-series showcasing a 14-day canoe trip through Wabakimi Provincial Park in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
Accessing the backcountry by floatplane had been on our backlist since we started tripping and it did not disappoint. After unloading all of our gear in the middle of Granite Lake, the plane took off right over our heads (as we requested) leaving us on our own to start our 14-day trip through Wabakimi Provincial Park.

I love watching all your adventures, great fun & beautiful nature. ❤
Great start! That pilot looks like he just left puberty. Love the nature there!
He was an amazing pilot!
Love that red tail on or tail paddle have the same one feels like a feather in your hands
Your video work is top-notch guys...feels like being there with you. Congrats on the wicked trip and thanks for sharing the adventure!
Thank you Paul! Wabakimi was truly wild
Awesome start guys! Love how you got playoff beards going for the big trip. That pilot is the world's gutsiest prankster---yikes. This video stirred up a major fishing craving. Nice northerns!
Thanks Jon! Noah had been building that beard even before our Temagami trip in July. It was starting to look as rugged as the boreal forest we paddling through. Just as the pilot dropped us off I had to ask if he would mind taking off over top of us and he was happy to! This was some of the best fishing either of us had ever experienced. Thanks for watching
Thanks for filming this, everyone needs to experience a fly in trip like this. My first fly in was when I was a Junior Ranger, working out of White lake, not to far from Wawa. 6 days of remote wilderness, remarking portages and busting beaver dams....Thanks for this series.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the series! I agree that everyone should definitely do a fly in trip for the experience. This was our first and will definitely not be our last. The Wawa area also offers some amazing trips! Cheers
You boys and your song writing!
My buddy broke his paddle on our first backcountry trip, didn’t have an extra paddle. Thankfully some kind soul left an old half rotted one on the portage...I thought it was hilarious... him not so much... especially cause of my uncontrollable laughter 😂
This is my favorite series from y'all. This seems like the peak fun we only got to experience at that age, if we were lucky.
I’ve always wanted to go here...and I’m just catching this a little over year from posting! So much to do, to see...gonna have to live forever. Thanks for sharing...awesome!
Thanks for watching! It was an incredible trip and we would love to explore more of this area in Northwestern Ontario
You deserve way more thumbs up!!!!!!
I was looking forward to this and you did not disappoint. Great stuff guys. Can't wait for the rest.
Thanks Larry! Glad to hear you enjoyed it
Great video guys and some really nice fish. Look forward to part 2. Cheers, John
Thanks Johnathon!
awesome boys! nice fish!! Great camera work too, you guys worked hard for some shots. great job, looking forward to part 2
haha thank you! There were definitely a few spots that took a bit of extra work but it was usually worth it for the shot. Thanks for watching
Great start! Looks like an awesome place! Can't wait until the next one.
Thanks David!
First! This is like early Christmas, thanks so much for making these. Makes me excited for the next Canoe season!
Glad to hear you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Great video guys! Looking forward to Part 2. It's awesome to see people coming up to explore Northwestern Ontario especially considering we have three amazing parks (Quetico, Woodland Caribou and Wabakimi), among many others. My wife and I are doing Wabakimi next year and it's great to see a current video of the area. Keep it up!
Glad to hear you enjoyed and thank you for watching Peter! There is a lot to explore in Northernwestern Ontario. Quetico and Woodland Caribou are both on our list for sure.
Awesome trip, loving this video.
awesome videos guys. But I had to laugh at the novelty of 'dehydrated rice' :) Keep up the great work
Once again, great stuff guys!
my twin bro showed me your videos now im watching them all
Hey Scavengers: Talk about a great trip! Full of envy . Thanks for bringing me along. Brian 77
Nice trip guys it’s nice to see you guys call the fish Picks instead of walleye. Cheers.🇨🇦👍
Good job guys!
Thank you!
Just watched the final episode, from first to last very enjoyable, a dream trip, thanks
Great video guys!
Thank you!
Awesome!!
Fantastique Oli ;)
Great videos !
****Walleye ;)
I’m here because Joe Robinet dropped your name as part of his inspiration for his Wabakimi adventure that he just posted to his channel! Great video guys!
Me too! Was watching Joe's trip and he mentioned these guys so I quickly came over to have a look
Awesome video guys your editing skills are really starting to show!
Nice guys, Wabakimi is and has been the best trip our group did. 187 kms in 9 days.....great fishing and great sites...I have subbed to your channel....cheers Fred Thunder Bay,Ontario...Happy New Year 2018
Hey Fred, it doesn't get much better than Wabakimi! Thanks for the sub :) Cheers
Looks like a great trip. I'm just getting into wilderness tripping so this summer is going to be about Algonquin but i'm working towards a fly in trip. Hard to find a tripping partner, especially for a 14 day trip.
You guys are fishing masters. I've canoed for 30 years, but never fished much. Can you please recommend a good rod/reel/lures for the backcountry?
Awesome start to the trip! What lures were working for the pickerel?
Thanks for watching!
That's good stuff man. As a regular camper just starting to get into fishing, if you guys talked just briefly mention what you are using for fishing lures when you catch something or just show the fish with it in it's mouth that'd be sweet (maybe I'm asking too much haha). It's nice to see what works in different areas for different fish. You got another subscriber for sure. Your videos are great!
Envious guys. Looks like trip of a life time. Is this the trip where you had Kevin’s canoe
Cheers Clifford, we were using Kevin's Nova Craft TuffStuff. It was the perfect canoe for the job
I just discovered your channel a few days ago, and am loving the content! Inspires me to head north myself for my next trip.
Question: did I hear you say around 11:30 that you brought "dehydrated rice?" What did you mean by that; and what's the advantage of that over regular rice - which already has almost no water-weight?
Adrea Brooks thank you! We love to here that you got a little inspiration. The reason for the cooked dehydrated rice is that it rehydrates and is ready to eat much faster than if we were to cook regular rice.
Awesome video - whens part 2 drop?
We are releasing a new video every 4 days so the next one comes out on Friday! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video - great cinematography. Do you have a GPS track of your route or a few GPS points at least? I can't find any of the lakes you mention in google maps.
We do have a GPS track but we will also be posting a video in the future to highlight the actual route that we took.
Is that video of the route plan up somewhere ? Cant find it but I'm also computer illiterate lol
Nice looking canoe, where did you steal that from?
What maps did you use? Did you giys use any Wabakimi Project maps? I can't wait to get back up there...Next summer!!
It is definitely a new favourite of ours after this trip. The outfitter provided us with general topos as well as small print out sheets that had notes on each area in detail. Although there was the odd error on the map it still worked well for us.
Yeah...I have a few of Burt & Brenda's maps from 2011 trip.
When you actually do catch a pickeral, what are you going to call it?
What lake did you guys begin your journey?
Who took the footage of the plane taking off?
What tent were you guys using? Looks like a Eureka Midori 4P. Pro's Con's?
This is a Eureka Bella Coola 3 Person. I've had this model for three years and absolutely love it. It is durable and has good compartments for storing maps and other small gear. No complaints so far!
What do you guys do for work? Jealous of all these trips
Alex is in marketing and Noah is a geologist, we both try to make use of every vacation day :) Thanks for watching!
Unreal fellas. Keep on truckin.
