THE FINAL VIDEO IN OUR ALGONQUIN SERIES IS FINALLY HERE. SEEKING COMFORT FROM DISCOMFORT.
To enjoy a trip like ours, you need to find comfort in discomfort, to value lessons learned when under physical and mental stress. These are the moments that matter. Our goal for this canoe trip was to seek discomfort, to test ourselves, and come out the other side with the knowledge that we can do it. All I had wanted was to get away from everything, the city, my job, people, to come here. To see these colours. To be silent. To be tested. To seek comfort from discomfort. Until next time.
We are Karam and Elena.
This is the 5th and final video in our Algonquin series, recounting our 3-week canoe camping trip across Algonquin Park, Canada in the fall of 2019. This video will take us from Philips Lake back to our starting point, Opeongo.

I’ve watched this entire series and loved every minute. It was so well put together and I loved how raw and honest the storytelling was. As someone who has also backcountry canoed through Algonquin, I hope I can reassure you both that you captured the park so well ❤️
Hi Ainsley, thank you so much for this amazing feedback! Makes us very happy to know we captured the Park's essence 💚
My whole family has stopped what they are doing and is now watching all your videos in this series. Such wonderful truths and experience.
Elena's pronunciation of "Karam" is spot on! Good job!
شكرا حبيبي - Elena
I love this series because I traveled with my friend from Canoe lake to Brent back in 1978. Thank you so much for posting.
wow that must have been an awesome adventure back in the day. Thanks for the compliment :)
Well done! It takes a special mind set to understand what Algonquin has to offer. Pushing your body to the limits and keep putting one foot infront of the other. I have covered over 75% of the park and every trip leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment, respect and reward that can only be experienced by starting the journey. It's in your DNA, that is only realized as you drive away, leaving adventure for the next person that follows you. Hard to put into words, you guys did an amazing job!
You should totally feel accomplished! What a long trip that was! I'm a backcountry camper too, but have not done a long, long trip like that before. I'm in admiration of all you've accomplished, and your dynamic together as a couple. Amazing trip guys! Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed this series.
Thanks for a fun watch! Pancakes on canoe trips: use complete pancake mix only needs water, dilute enough to make it spread a little thinner in the pan, use generous cooking oil, run the pocket rocket on very low gas setting. Add a large dose of patience 😉 takes "forever" to make pancakes for our family in camp so I only do it on a layover day. Cooking in camp is always an adventure 😁
Hi! Thanks for watching, and glad you liked it. I can't say I'm a good pancake cook even at home so I shouldn't have been surprised they turned out looking the way they did on a camp. I'll definitely be trying out your advice and method on the next trip :)
I loved this series SO much. You did such an incredible job filming it! Thank you for making me feel at home
❤❤❤ Thank you so much! we put a lot of work into it. and honestly really enjoyed filming the whole thing! Comments like this make it worth it of course
Very well done and congrats on making it to the finish line. It's definitely a lesson in living in the moment and getting that natural recharge you can't find in the concrete jungles of this world.
Thank you for watching! Coming from a big city, it truly felt wonderful to disconnect in this way. I don't we'd ever spent 3 weeks off our phones and without service!
Watched the whole series! fantastic! As someone who lives close to and hikes and canoes algonquin yearly you've done a fantastic job of showing the trails and tribulations of the park and the beauty and magnitude. Is urge you both to explore the backpacking trails in the park for a completely different feel to alogonquin I'm sure you're up for it and would love it! much love and respect from ON, CA :)
Hey Mitch! Thank you so much :)
that was definitely a goal of ours to capture the beauty of this place and how much work has been put into creating and maintaining it :)
Will definitely try and do what you suggested. Sending love back to you!
I just watched the whole series in the past couple hours and this is such an amazing series!! Love the videos!
Wow thank you so much 😍 we are so so happy that you loved the videos :) these were a lot of fun to make and challenging. Stay tuned for future adventures :)
Great finally to an awesome series!
Thank youuu Irv 😍
Really enjoyed your series and how you kept it reality.. good job..🇺🇲🤠
Thank you so much! That was definitely one of the goals for us :)
Appreciate you!
What a great documentary of an epic canoe trip! I love the way your narration tells the story, both physically and emotionally. I have done a lot of kayak and canoe trips from Ontario to the Yukon, so I can relate everything you say. One word of advice is to get yourself a good non-stick frypan for making pancakes etc. Very useful and compact. Look forward to your next trip! Cheers!
Hi Tony, thanks for watching! Next trip will definitely include a non-stick pan, thanks for the advice. Canoeing in the Yukon must have been incredible, any recommendations?
@@Karamintheworld Fly into Whitehorse, rent a canoe, and paddle to Dawson City (coolest small town in Canada!). This is a 700 km trip but is an easy two weeks, as it is all downstream. Every mile is stunning scenery & wildlife.
I love how happy you two are together! Thanks for sharing!
That is the best possible feedback! We feel happy but it's nice to see other people can see it too haha
@@Karamintheworld While I enjoyed watching the video of your 17 day canoe adventure, I think the bigger and more important story that you told extremely well, was the special relationship that you have with each other!
@@NobleEndeavours123 Thank you! This was definitely the underlying story we were trying to tell in both the filming and the scripting! I think Elena did an exceptionally great job with the scripting part!!
Just watched the whole series can and definitely say the annoying video was well worth it! Great documentary!
Thank you John ❤
Great series, I enjoyed watching!
Thanks a lot Jeff! We appreciate you watching :)
Glad you had a good trip overall. Looks like you got out of it what you wanted and I hope the Pizza was the best pizza you ever tasted after all that.
It was an amazing trip! Despite a lot of the complaining and difficult moments, we still can't shut up about it more than a year on. And yes, the pizza and any other non-dehydrated meals tasted incredible when we first got out of the Park!
Love that you're both so honest and open. Keeping it real. What's next guys??? X
Thank you so much Ian :)
Hopefully releasing a gear video today, after this we'll be creating some content about Berlin (where we live), but also Karam will be editing videos about past adventures that are ready to be posted (he bicycle toured all of Vietnam and also done some winter camping in Canada). So stay tuned as we release more content! :)
@@Karamintheworld That is great news. Come back real soon and get on another adventure too. Stay safe and well X
@@inkhole Thank you :) to you as well!!
Thanks for this, enjoyed every single bit of it!

Great vlog. Thanks for sharing guys.
Glad you liked it!
Well done.
Thank for the feedback and for watching!
Loved this one the most - amazing shots of the fall colours, great narration, and just some really wholesome shots of you both and thoughtful reflections I think a lot of travellers can relate to. Looking forward to more :)
Thank you Jess! We love you 😘 Thanks for hosting us afterwards and giving us a shower and feeding us pizza. you're the best 😘😘😘😘
This whole series was so beautiful to watch, from the excitement at the beginning and challenges along the way to the joy and nostalgia at the end. Thank you for putting this together! :) Looking forward to seeing more from you guys. And when the going gets tough, just keep calm and say MULES! :D
Wow Manish this is such a beautiful comment! Thank you so much :) Us mules will be around for other adventures ;)
We already have a few adventures filmed (bikepacking vietnam and winter camping in Canada!) While we set up these edits, we'll be posting some content from Berlin :) Thanks for the kind and encouraging words!
HAHAHA I loooove the pancake intermission 😂😂😂 Love how you ended this series
We considered releasing the uncut pancake show which is about ten minutes. Maybe it will be it’s own episode in the future 😂
Glad I ran across this channel. Well Done! You've accomplished a lot and have done something few people get to experience ---- extended wilderness trips :)
Thank you so much Daniel! We are definitely extremely lucky to have had this opportunity :) Also even luckier that we chose to film and document it all.
Cheers :)
More adventures to come! Bikepacking vietnam and winter camping are some already shot adventures :)
@@Karamintheworld You'll love Vietnam. Best food ever and everyone was soo damm friendly. Make sure you get the Egg-Coffee ;)
@@DBogey Actually we already went to Vietnam and lived the adventure ;) Now just gotta sit and edit it :)
The Egg Coffee was actually really good. Favourite was definitely the Ca phe Sua Da
@@Karamintheworld Can't wait to watch!!
Awesome Trip! So when's the next one? :)
Thank you happy you enjoyed it :) actually we have a few trips already filmed like this ready to be edited ;) Karam and a friend bikepacked vietnam 2 years ago. Also we have a winter camping in Canada one as well. We will also be creating some content Berlin based in the meantime while we set up the edits of the other adventures :)
