In addition to Algonquin Park, I solo backpacked four Major Trails end-2-end, and I only once made a campfire. I used either, a Coleman 505B, or a Svea 123. (Which I sold when I retired, and later regretted. That Svea was a lovely little stove.) I figured that making a fire was too much like work! By the way, those split logs used to walk on are called "Punchions" in the States. When wet they are very slippery to walk on.

I backpacked the Easten Highlands trail with a young lady, over three days. Got some very nice photos in my album. Some of a very large turtle laying her eggs on the shore. I also snowshoed the several days on the Western Highlands on day trips, with a group. There is a very impressive waterfall in there somewhere. Both times, and others; I used Lord Baden Powell's Scout staff. It was essential for me to keep my balance and was useful several times to get out of difficult terrain. I have two staffs with records of all my hikes marked on them.

how heavy was your backpack and how do you physically prepare for so much walking?
@wannabewoodsmen7622
@wannabewoodsmen7622 3 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure the weight of the full backpack on this one but I guess it was about ~35lbs. Really though, your body will settle in as long as you have the will to move on! They key is avoiding injury so basic running/squats/shoulder press and focus on core stability works well.

Thank you! You’re going to have a great trip this spring. Always better to start out smaller then save the larger one once you know you can put the kms on your body with your pack. I also find hiking slower and shorter is more satisfying because I get more time at camp.

Excellent video. I just finished my 75km hike of the Western Uplands. I spent a night on the same spot as you on Rainbow Lake. It was a beautiful spot. The trek from the Trailhead to Maggie Lake was one tough haul. Fortunately the water levels weren't as high for me as compared to your trek. You're video was a great representation on what to expect the trail.
