Hi Jason. Glad that you finally share your Killarney trip. Though you wasn't able to film as it was a cold and rainy trip for the most part of ours. Or maybe you will no longer upload it as your video about your camera and other people (titled like so) came out before this. We met outside the park office. I was surprise as well when I saw you and thought it's very slim to get to meet the KZfaqrs I follow along in backcountry trip like that. I noticed your canoe first, not to mention I admire your canoe, I think it's beautiful, and said to myself there's is no way Jason is here!! Our trip is a bit of experience I can say. We were booked for 5 nights but unfortunately we stayed 4 nights only. 1st day was very nice, and that's the only day we got sun, the rest was on and off rain, cold, windy. We got to our 1st campsite all the way to OSA in pitch dark. Most campsites were occupied and had no choice to stay whatever is available. And it's funny enough to share this, when we got to the only site available, there was a burnt 3-4 ft log on the ground in the dark. Thought it was a bear! It was scary! We were hungry and exhausted and a burnt log was not a good surprise. On the bright side, we enjoyed Killarney. Definitely going back on warmer whether. Water is so pristine, mountains and fall foliage was just spectacular and breath-taking. We hiked "The Crack" view from up there was something special. Glad we did that. Your trip was very unique, meeting Richard and Pat was just amazing! And their story how they became the owner of the property was interesting and entertaining. Sorry for a very long comment.. Great video quality to watch as always and looking forward for the next. Cinematic it is! Happy Holidays to you and family! Maricar

Mary! :) or is it Maricar? So good to hear from you. It was a really damp weekend. Thanksgiving weekend is one of my favorite weekends to camp but the weather is always challenging. Sounds like you had the type of trip I love to have... full of life. It was also a really special moment meeting you and set a tone for the trip. Thanks for saying hi.

You’re welcome ☺️ thanks for watching

Thanks Byron

Thanks Wendy. Yes, meeting them and having that visit in their cabin made it a really special trip.

Thanks. Meeting them was the highlight of the trip. I'm heading back this spring to explore another part of the park.

No worries Simon. Keep up the good work. The mandolin was a bit of an extra to pack along but without any major portages well worth it (being alone).

Hi Charlie, Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment.

Thanks Chris

Thanks Victor

Thanks Jon

Thanks. Yeah, I know I'm a bit slower paced but that's how I roll, err um paddle. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. It was a beautiful trip. I’d love to get back there.

@@TrailguidePictures I'm with you. My first time was last fall and it blew me away. Glad you shared this section of the park with us!

It's funny because I remember a way back hearing someone once say that they always try to find a campsite on an island to avoid some wildlife - of course all of the animals swim better than any of us. Still, island sites are nice for their uniqueness. Nearly 40 years of doing back country camping and the snaps and bumps in the night still make me a bit edgy. :s

Haven't looked into the hammock yet but probably will for next season. Been super busy the last little while. Thanks again

@@TrailguidePictures Not a problem. Keep up the great work! Love the trips!

Thanks

I know. lol. it was a hindsight moment when I realized I forgot to pack it but too late to get it.

Lol.

No, never used it. I'll need to have a look into that.

@@TrailguidePictures Yeah, take a look. It really helps the canoe to glide over obstacles (rocks). The down side is the bottom of the outside of the canoe is black, but that doesn't bother me since it's in the water and can't be seen. Keep up the good work! I love seeing wood canoes out in the woods.

I'm sorry. You must think I made this video for you.

Actually it isn't but that's ok. Thanks for stopping by.
