Wow, they sounded so close! What an eerie and intense experience! Great video! New sub!

Brings back memories. My Dad and I used to go canoeing and camping in Algonquin, in the early 1970's. Some of my best memories of him.

Amazing how close the wolves were howling! I've heard wolves howl many times, but never that close. I even tried howling back to a pack on a northern Ontario crown land canoe trip late last fall, but they ignored my pathetic call, lol. Thanks for sharing!

Best wolf pack rendition I've ever heard on video they seemed extremely close.

Thank you very much for the canoe through memory lane. As a teenager in the late 60s I used to take campers through that exact same area. We would start at Canoe Lake and take north loops through Big Trout and Burntroot Lakes. Man to be young again, what wonderful times those were.

Alec you got guts. I would've swam back to my car after hearing those wolves 🤣

There is nothing on earth which rivals the experience of being in close proximity to the apex predator of the woods. We are not on the menu - well done Alec.

Bro, amazing ! I went to Camp Pathfinder in the 80s (on Source Lake) and we literally zigzagged across Algonquin Park-portaging handmade canvas wooden canoes... We were always on the lookout for the ever-elusive wolves, and never found them. You are extremely lucky to have run into that pack; in all my years at Algonquin we saw plenty of moose, one black bear, and the rest of the usual suspects, but never a wolf ! Now, I live happily in the Caribbean with my family, next to the highest coastal mountain range in the world, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, applying many of the skills that I learned as a boy and teen in the Algonquin backwoods... Paddle onwards-Noon Way !

Nice little trip Alec. I have to tell you I could not tell the actual wolf howl from your call, well done! That is an eerie sound in the bush at night.

I've missed the sound of the wolves. I haven't spent much time in the bush in the past few years. This brought me back to my happy place, thank you so much.

I went winter camping in Algonquin ~2 decades ago with the family and we had them serenade us for breakfast at sunrise. At first I thought we were breakfast but they kept a comfortable distance, it was quite the experience! Thanks for sharing!

I grew up going to summer camp in Algonquin park which included two week long backcountry canoe trips. This video is so special 😭🙌🏻 thanks for sharing! One thing I don’t miss are the trillions of mosquitoes on the portages lol.

The best experience of Algonquin is hearing that. Of my 5 trips, misty lake, 3 yrs ago. Had a lovely pack with young ones signing just like that. Love it! Thank you Alec 👍

my cats did not appreciate the wolves lmaoo. But for real, that sounds terrifying.

Blessed to have that experience! And I would’ve howled back too lol

That was incredible. I will say I have been wanting to do this so bad but I would have been so scared

Just clicked on this from your post on APP Facebook page. Kind of funny because I've heard a pack (Own a resort on Oxtongue) every other night for the last few weeks.. Apparently a lone wolf or small pack are roaming Oxtongue Rapids area. Extremely eerie and awesome to hear so close to home.

Holy moly!!! So scary but so amazing! Absolutely enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing

That paddle in Opeongo is a chore...but always worth it.

I've been fortunate enough to hear AP wolves on five occasions, one in similar proximity to what you experienced, but it was during the day, which made it weird. Buddy and I were paddling a river, I don't remember for sure but I think on the Petawawa. We were s-curving our way down the river, and as we rounded a bend that went around a bit of a cliff, 20 or 30 feet tall, we heard one adult wolf with a long howl on top of that cliff. Then a pause. Then two or three adults started all howling together, and you could hear a couple of pups yipping along as well. It was an amazing moment, and jarring too because it was so unexpected and so loud! It went on for a few moments, then stopped. We never saw them of course, but we felt like they had eyes on us, and they probably did. Our next portage wasn't too far away, and we spotted some wolf scat on that portage trail. All of my other occasions hearing them have been in the Rain/Sawyer/Jubilee area.

I took my American wife to Temagami (10 days) the first time she'd ever gone camping even overnight. Hearing wolves really scared her (she, who is not afraid of anything). I found it comforting. Wolves chased out the bears, according to the locals. They are awesome creatures. We heard them all around and tracked them in the morning, but never saw one. Saw a bunny.

Greetings from Nova Scotia Canada, KUDOS to you Sir....hiking with a pack on your back & carrying a Canoe as well !! You 1 tough mother ?????? 💯👍

Oh my god! I got shivers just watching the video.

That's so cool!!! I would love to be that close to wolves.

What a wonderful video! Thanks for sharing what looked to be a great trip.

I’m shocked this isnt more popular, just LISTEN to those howls!

Beautiful place, to sleep only if hanging from a tall tree, hell with those scary wolves... This night scene for me is the stuff of nightmares, it couldnt get worse for me... You dam Lunatic, lol...

Pretty awesome. Thanks for the portaging tips Alec.

Awesome! I've never heard wolves that active caught on video. They were working up a frenzy - you really got them stirred up. Look forward to the next one!

Most beautiful amazing experience. I heard wolves while hiking in Northern Wisconsin next thing I know one was to my right another came up on my left and a third passed the trail in front of me. They were curious and let me be. Still the most amazing experience I've ever witnessed.

WHAT was the splash in the distance at 3:13

Sweet short trip. Thanks for sharing.

Wow.... what a show. Lucky guy!!

Bro that’s awesome. What an experience that must have been!

I would have been quickly building up the fire for more light and protection!!! What’s the canoe model. Looks like a good companion :-)

I can see you got out of that tent and got that fire going real good and hot when them wolfies got in close to sniff around your site... they were figuring out whether they should eat you there and then or wait til morn!

amazing video, thank you for sharing your experience!

I had a similar experience last summer along the east end of lake opeongo. Returned again this year. Nowhere as close to the same response.

That would be the scariest thing for me hearing the wolfs so close to my 🏕 camp!

Awesome trip, the wolves are awesome, subbed atb Lee

What about bears, or cougars, etc. Do you bring bear spray? How do you protect yourself? Does bear spray work on wolves?

me cago del miedo........demasiado intensa tu experiencia!!!

I realize this is not the most exciting thing in your video but what is the poor over container you're using to make coffee?

Excellent Video....Thanks

You can hear the pup weez at the end of the exhale, less than a km from you id say.

It was a little close for comfort, then what happened?

Great experience! Awesome awesome awesome!

Was Coywolf calls... reading the menu

Have you seen the pyramids in Algonquin?

So brave... Wow! I subbed...

What a magical experience! Of course I say that from the comfort of my home. If I was solo, I'd definitely be on high alert! Thank you so much for sharing this.

i'd be calling 911 for an immediate helicopter evac.

I've heard wolves in the park but nothing like that. I know they never attack humans but I still wouldn't sleep that night.

Beautiful area

Great video, I have a question, I did one camping night in my city. I started to hear the wolfs sound near us.We were 2 people. Is it safe to stay? We tried to make noise and to have many lights next to our fire (we were about to leave). Is there any chance that these wolves attacking us in our future camping plans? We did it in a national park, based on the information, we only have wolfs, golden jackals and striped hyena. Also, we are appreciating any recommendation about the other animals.

Enjoyed your video - I see you had a Langford like mine in this one but a lighter weight see-through one in more recent trip. Why the change? Incidentally, that wolf pack recording was amazing!

Probably a few Eastern Coyote / Eastern Wolf hybrids in that pack...

Wow, I would have been so scared lol

Eeeeerie! Sweet sound though. I just got back from a weekend stay on the first loop of Western Uplands and had a pack on the other side of Maggie Lake respond to a coyote squeak by my site. What a beautiful experience.

How long do your cold cuts last while camping

What would happen if you tried howling back

Did this with a pack of coyotes last year in Utah. Pitch black and they couldn't be 100 feet away.

so cool

You rock dude

New subscriber now I’m binging. Great video.

Awesome! New sub here👍

Am I crazy or does it sound like they killed a another animal or something. Coyote? Idk I feel like I heard something die

Howl at the moon!!

Maybe they wanted you to join their pack!

But aren't you afraid of them attacking you?

Yeah, I'll be sleeping in the canoe thanks

Where did you get that coffee filter?

The sound at 3:40. Not a coyote.

Sorry to just dump this on you but TAG you're it! I was tagged for a 10 question challenge and you are one of the lucky ones! LoL, don't feel obligated at all, I had to tag 5 people. Here's a link to the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ97ZpR60NXJoYk.html Have a good one!

wolves playing with coyotes

probably had to change your underwear after the wolf howls came close

One of the howls sounds like a coyote.

dont howl back at a pack of wolves unless you want them fools creepin' up on you.

u got some big gonads my friend

kind of scary.

Lone male calling its mate

this is why I don't go outside

Don't use background music we want the raw sound of nature
