The portage was 4km one way? Did you carry everything in one trip? If you went back and forth twice that time is impressive!
@kevinthewildКүн бұрын
I think it was about 3760m if I recall. Yes I only did single carries on this trip.

I'm completely new to backpacking and even solo day hiking, and it almost felt silly to pay the money for an InReach, but after seeing a couple of videos about people needing to hit the SOS I decided to take the plunge. Obviously the hope is that you spend the money and never ever need it. But I can't imagine needing it and not having it.

Kev, I really enjoy your channel. I just turned 70 last month. I love to hike and camp. But, I couldn't handle a portage with my worn shoulders and knees from playing sports my entire life. A hike I can handle but I couldn't imagine carrying a canoe on my back for a mile or so. Five portages in one day? I give you props for that. These are really good videos. We feel like were along for the ride. That's best complement you could get. Video work is awesome too. I'm not good at the video kind of stuff so it makes me appreciate the videos even more. Nice work.

The most interesting aspect I've found camping in the Fall is the stillness in the air, the flat water. Late adternoons you can hear a pin drop. The wildlife serms to quiet down and the atmosphere can be a little erie but pure solitude for heavy thinkers. Nice canoe. Good luck with it.

Being laid up with a knee replacement I have been watching your videos back to back as they calm and relax me. They bring back so many wonderful memories of canoe trips we took in the 70's and 80's to Quetico and Killarney. Our gear then was cumbersome and bulky and our canoe a heavy fiberglass and as I always packed too much we were never able to single carry. I would plan our routes accordingly with shorter and fewer portages. However we had some wonderful experiences and now I can watch younger adventurers appreciate what a beautiful province we live in. As you said, keep doing what you love to do while you are able because some day that will change. I am looking forward to watching more 2024 trips.

Wonderful video Kev. I canoe tripped in the 70's/early 80's through many routes in Algonquin and ended up being a tripping guide for a few years. You captured the serene vibe of the park. Once I lead a group and we did the Dixon - Bonfield portage into Opeongo at 5am. We were on Opeongo by around 6:30am and it was glass. Lucky for us, because we had to be at the portage store by 1pm for a pre-arranged pick-up. We made it just in the nick of time. I've had some other adverntures on Opeongo and did a lot of tacking down the lake on some trips to make it safely back to the portage store. Fond memories indeed.
@kevinthewild19 күн бұрын
Thanks for sharing some of your memories. Starting that portage at 5am was the smart thing to do if you had to get across Opeongo by that time. Glad it all worked out!
@Foxtrotromeo72119 күн бұрын
@@kevinthewild The backstory is a careless navigational error on Lavielle the day before put us behind schedule to be camped on Opeongo that evening. Making and braking camp at the Dixon & Bonfield portage helped us make up for that navigational mishap. As I had a group of campers in my care, I was under some degree of pressure, knowing the risks with Opeongo. Thanks again for sharing your trips.

Tip! Fish upstream Because the current is what brings food to all fish species in a river system, they always hold with their noses facing up current. Therefore, it's hugely important to fish in current by casting upstream and retrieving your bait with the current. 1:14:03

That’s amazing! So glad to hear that! I’ve used several different cameras and setups. Sony mirrorless cameras like an A7C. Definitely not necessary to film a canoe trip. The device I used on this video is a gimbal. It stabilizes the camera but I found it too bulky and cumbersome. I have since sold it.
