I had a blast on this trip, and I hope you enjoyed coming along. You can catch my cameo in Ted Baird's video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rc95pdWh0bG3n6s.htmlsi=pizvDmJLcIoHsNbw&t=7683

I really like your channel, very calming and soothing. I live in Ontario but have only been to Algonquin Park once in 1999. Thank you for sharing your adventures, you are truly inspiring!

Oh yeah! So beautiful and peaceful... apart from those pesky black flies of course. Wonderful wildlife - I particularly love to hear the birds calling in the evening light. Thank you for bringing us along, it was a fantastic trip. And perfectly filmed, as always. I did miss seeing what your meal was at the end of the trip though!!! :)

I like your approach with your videos. Keep getting better and better. Not that you need to hear that. People need to subscribe! Much deserving.

Nice route! I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the great content.

I’m a solo hiker . I understand the peace ,away from people and just nature . Great video ❤

Great video, really enjoyed it! I'm a fisheries biologist. Those fish you were calling "suckers/whitefish" are actually Fallfish. They're a large species of minnow in the family Leuciscidae. Not great eating lol.

Your videos keep getting better and better! Thanks for taking us along!

What a awesome trip video! I met you with my friends at the beginning of this trip on Magnetawan in May when you were loading gear into your canoe. Glad you had a great trip.

Loved it Kev!!! Thanks for sharing! Jim from Texas.

Can’t wait to watch this one kind sir! I just got back from my first solo backpacking trip yesterday up in Vermont. I was terrified the whole week before… now I only want to do solo trips! It’s crazy! Looking forward to giving this a watch during dinner! Take care.

Everyone associates the Loon to Portaging, which is awesome, but I feel that white-throated sparrow is just as much a part of Ontario portaging. Great looking trip Kev. I just finished a 5 day in there to big trout, and nobody in there. The birds were the highlight of this one in breeding season. And multiple moose sightings in June. Just tough out the bugs for a bit and perfection. You stayed at the big trout site I just stayed at. I stayed there because i came from white trout lake( not small) in high winds and was happy to just get there in tact and fearful of moving out onto big trout in those winds. I commenting(edit) as I watch...that section in grassy bay was so windy when i came through that i barely paddled. I just dug in the paddle like a rudder and hoped i made the bends...not even enough time to pull out the camera as 3 moose were in there!! There was a campsite there(first one west to east) that I thought would be a spectacular site to stay at overlooking those wetlands...but not when I was there without a bug shelter, more so early spring. u gotta bring powdered protein.

great video

Great trip Kev! Loved the show fencing fires and the call of the loon. Beautiful!! Nothing like gliding along in a canoe.

Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for making and sharing it!

I'm just into watching this, but I can see, at 7:17 in, why you do what you do. The shadows and fading light, the lapping sounds of the water from your oar, the sounds of the bird calls as they settle in for the night - all of it spells Peace. ❤

Fabulous video! Great to experience this trip through your eyes. The peaceful arms of nature at its best.

Thank you again for a fabulous video full of peace and inspiration ❤

I prefer solo trips, more wildlife and peacefullness. I appreciate the effort it takes to get the footage to make these videos. Sometimes it distracts some from the trip, but please know that it is enjoyed by many. Thanks for sharing.

Yes been waiting for a new video. I camp vicariously through you!

Another great video... oh yeah

Territoty of mother nature

Being the health conscious guy that I am, I cringed when you ate the Jos Louis. Lol. Oh ya, it's fluffy, but you don't wanna know how. Lol

I’ve camped on that exact site on Little Trout Lake. It’s a long haul down the length of Ralph Bice, but worth it. There’s a site at the far end of Little Trout Lake, past the portage, that is apparently a beach site - on my list to visit. Good video. I’m off to Killarney next week - hopefully the bugs will be thinning out (unlikely though). Cheers.

Another fine video Kevin, one to savour. Love the pace of these, your great cinematography, and just the general relaxing vibe. I'm glad to see you've got a Helinox chair, sometimes a camping pad on the hard rock is just not comfy enough! 🙂

Awesome wildlife sightings, I didn't see any moose this year.....I think those might be Fallfish....New boat looks nice and a little more versatile then the swift but I guess it's a trade off from the day's of solo ports with the swift.

Great adventure. Thank you.

Really nice spring trip Kev! Good to see you back and look forward to tagging along with you on your future adventures! Take care!

Nature & food, nice and calm, really enjoyable👌🏼

Great video. Nice coincidences too. I was on Big Trout this May 2-4 weekend, at the site across from you at the head of the channel leading to White Trout Lake, and 2 years ago on the same long weekend I spend 2 nights at the site on Misty Lake (amazing site). Enjoy your travels

Great video!! I did the same loop ~1 week earlier (no moose for me, I'm jealous).

That bacon sandwich looks good! I may have to use that menu item on my next trip! Some jalapeños would be good on that!

Awesome trip. I was surprised how many youtubers were out at the same time in the same area; the Baird bros, Shawn James, Derek S, Xander Budnick, and of course you. The loons and peepers were calling you out. Perfect weather except for 1 day. Sorry the fishing sucked but you got to see all those newborn moose. Thanks for sharing.

I was expecting this after your cameo in Ted's video. I start a 5 day trip tomorrow (june 21) and it looks like I will have to make that payment back to Mother nature after the absolute perfect weather of last falls trip when when I had seen you on N. Grace Lk. That's the way it goes. Great spring tripping area you were in for this one. Awesome video as usual!

all right!

What an epic journey here!! Holy cow!! You captured everything so well!! The loons, the buzzing of the black flies, everything!! I guess I’m always surprised to see more people in tents than hammocks at Algonquin. I’ve camped in so many campgrounds that you paddle into or drive to and the tent pad becomes a frog pond after any decent storm. That was why I switched back to hammocks, especially in backcountry. I went on that solo trip last weekend and it was good I brought a hammock system cuz it probably rained about 4” up there over the weekend. There was a small stream flowing underneath my hammock late last Saturday night!🤣. Good stuff here man!! Thank you for taking us along!!!

Wish I had your time, tenacity and freedom to do this. Keep up the great work.

Another very relaxing video. Thanks for sharing! The black flies were making me feel itchy though lol. All the moose sightings were awesome. We stopped at the site in Grassy Bay on our November trip and had to smash through ice to get to it. It was so cold! Great looking site in warmer temps though.

Kev , Thank you for posting your trip enjoyed it very much. I’m looking forward to the next one.👏

love the content, keep up the great solo adventures.

Awesome trip Kev! Now watching this video made me realize that we passed you when you were waiting at Big Trout. We should’ve followed your lead, crazy paddle through the headwinds that day!

Great content brother. Thanks for sharing

Thx for the trip, enjoyed it very much. Calm and relaxing scenes, reminds me of my own waterways here in Norway wich I like to explore. Have a nice weekend and summer man 😊

Great trip so peaceful. What no stopping for fast food at the end? lol

YES!!

Another great video. Im taking my new Esquif Adirondack out to Parc Verendrye in Quebec next week. Cant wait.

Hey great trip. No junk food at the end ,l always wonder what you are going to have. Oh and why did you throw the suckers back in? they are really good. eating..My hats off to you doing the trip all alone.

I came for the canoe camping content but stayed for the Jos Louis talk! How did you keep that bad boy from not getting completely squished!😅

Great inspiration! Off on a 4 day solo trip to the east side of the park tomorrow.

Buddy! Another awesome adventure will give it a watch! (Another great thumb btw well done). Kev, what's your waterproof backpack you're using?? I need to get one asap!!! How do you like it?

Great video and seemed like a great trip. I have two questions for you Kev. One is how long does it take you to do a 1K average portage with a double carry? It takes me approx 1 hr to do the 3 km total but not sure if this is normal. Did that 1.7km portage seem ok with that new heavy canoe you have or make you wish you had the old lighter one. I am so close to pulling the trigger and getting the same one. Keep these great inspirational videos coming

Fantastic video, as always from you! Can I ask what microphone you use? The sound is perfect.

Thanks. Wonderful. Amazing. I have a question. In the night do you put the boat in a safety place? Greetings from Panamá 🇵🇦

Like the traditional paddling and canoe . But you're a bit shy on the fishing .On a remote trip as this just got to get more fish . But watching a lot of youtube canoers their technique is not good .At least not mine . I'm figuring the bigger lakes were not warm enough for the specks but a laker or two can still be caught .I also use a 15 ' bob special which i think is a better canoe .

Nice trip Kev. Thanks. How are you liking the Esquif over your Swift? - not so much the brand but the material and the difference in weight and handling. Iw as thinking of getting a canoe in a tougher lay op but nor sure if I want to deal with the extra weight. Pros and cons I guess.

What length and brand of canoe do you use? Looking at getting a lightweight canoe for wife and I and dog. Envious of your camping spots. I really enjoy your videos!!

Excellent video! Plan on entering northern Quetico Sept. 1st for my first 10-day solo. Learn so much from watching your video. Couple questions on your cooking. I am using a combination of campfire and the little jet boil tank like yours. How long does one last? Are 2 small tanks like yours enough to take on a 10-day trip when I'll be mainly boiling water for coffee and dehydrated foods and cooking fish? Also, what do you use for oil to fry fish and how much do you generally take? Also, just curious I noticed you are switching from a double kayak to a single wooden paddle. I'm thinking you might be using the double paddle to cover more open water. Also, what length of kayak paddle are you using? I have a 250-centimeter double kayak paddle I may take not sure if it will be long enough?? Thanks so much for any info!

I watch Jim & Ted, Xander & Maxim Budnick, and also Justin Barbour. I always wondered if you knew them or followed them. I did not see your cameo in their video, I'm going to have to rewatch that. Love your videos Kev.👍👍👍

What was wrong with cooking and eating the Canadian white fish?

ok. your pancakes make me jealous. i think i need a new pan. what kind do you use?

Exactly the headline I’d expect from this channel…seriously? Seems like a good kid! Can’t wait to see him suit up…GO NOLES!
