Seven Days Alone in Northwestern Algonquin Park
Vložit

- My first solo journey of the year starts at access point #1 or Round Lake, I then spend the next seven days looping through North Tea, Bigger, Three Mile, Maple and Manitou just to name a few. Beautiful sunny hot days hinder the fishing, but the scenery is beautiful. The route is dotted with small lakes, creeks and too many portages to count. It was a great trip and the perfect way to start off the solo camping season, follow along with many more videos to come this year.

Great Trip Dude. I'm stage 4 lung 6 yrs surviving. I start doing trips similar in North Wisconsin. Keep paddling.prayers to you
4 years surviving, so able to trip its a big part of therapy. Thanks for watching
Its been a couple of years since ive stayed in the park but watching this video was definitely the one to get me motivated for a fall solo trip
That's great! You won't be disappointed. Spring or fall is the best time to visit Algonquin
Amazing video as always brother :) In my prayers. Hope you're doing great :)
Thanks as always for the prayer brother, I’ve had my ups and downs but feeling pretty good lately. Blessed
7 days alone in Algonquin is my idea of Heaven ❤
It certainly is especially Spring and Fall when the crowds leave.
Good job, great experience 👍
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
Glad I'm not the only one that feels anxious taking a solo trip. I worry more about not finding a portage and getting turned round or lost. But I will go despite that. I prefer earlier May. Good job man! Thanks for the video!
Early May or fall is the best, if your not anxious then your really excited either I think. I've learned to control that anxiety and use it and just trust your skills, people are much more capable than they think. Algonquin is a good spot to get that confidence up, well mapped, marked portages, but don't get me wrong in the interior it's very rugged. Cheers
Just found your channel & subscribed after watching this video ❤ looking forward to watching more 😊 I just love your beautiful country, thanks for taking me along for the ride 👍
Thank you fro watching and subscribing, I have plenty more to post and many more trips planned for this summer. So many beautiful spots just right here in my province. Cheers
Enjoyed the video, looking forward to more in the future. This trip of yours is very similar to my planned trip in that area this fall - only difference is that I'll be starting from Kiosk, counter clockwise to manitou / biggar. I'll be going to Erables and up through Mink instead of Maple Creek though, if only to extend my trip's distance.
At the end of your video, you mentioned a bit more of a challenge. My first thought was Quetico, I think that would be a logical next step in both remoteness and ruggedness.
Quetico is on the list for sure, I’ve been to Wabakimi and that was real remote. I’ve had my eye on the Steel River for a while as well. Algonquin itself is a challenge enough, long portages, I’d like to go from biggar down to the Nippissing one day and over to Cedar. The route your going is no joke either, some of those were long uphill portages. Thanks for watching and good luck on the trip. My next one will be my journey down the Tim, by far the best trip I had in Algonquin. Hope to have edited in a couple weeks. Woodland Caribou is another one….endless possibilities in Ontario
@@cancerwontrunmylife You nailed it, the possibilities are endless. Looking forward to watching your trip down the Tim, cheers mate.
This is a great video. Nice to see a thoughtful grown up... including his butt. BUT I'd give you all my wife's money to have a chance at those bass. Edit. I thought only my 40 yr daughter said "breakie."
OMG...I just saw that short clip of my butt, I'm mortified that should've been edited out. I apologize for that, so embarrassing. Thanks for watching and the next video will be PG I promise, I've been saying "breakie" my whole life, I'm just over 50, lol
@@cancerwontrunmylife not to worry, even if youtube gives you an X rating. Clothing optional campsites seems reasonable to me!
This is actually sick. I can’t wait to travel like you do!
Thanks! Just gotta hop in that canoe plan a route suited to your skills and get after it.
Take care my friend! great videos, love your enthusiasm and knowledge of the backwoods.
Thanks man, appreciate that my favourite thing to do is keep improving my backwoods skills. Glad you liked the video
Really?!?! HOSER
I don’t really understand what that means?
@@cancerwontrunmylife Pretty sure it's just an AI comment, I see these random no context comments on a lot of videos.
@@miguelcampbello8983Thanks, lol, guess that’s something to get familiar with. Love A. I. ,not!
