Algonquin 8 Day Canoe Trip – Part 1 of 2
This is an eight day trip I did in Algonquin Provincial Park with a friend of mine in 2008. For those who are familiar with my videos, I’m sorry to say that Maddy (the Goose) was not able to join us on this trip. With a 16 foot canoe, two people, and gear and food for eight days we simply ran out of room. It just wasn’t the same without her and I hope to not exclude her from any future trips.
It’s also worth noting that there is little to no video specifically of my friend or myself. I intentionally did it this way since I don’t want these videos to be about my buddy and I so much as I want to simply capture the trip and the feeling of being there.
Hope you enjoy!
Cheers,
Troy

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the advice. Stay tuned since I’m in the process of trying to step-up my video footage and editing. I just released a new video of an eight day trip I did with a friend in the Temagami region (check out my channel to see it) which I spent extra time on the editing. Unfortunately I didn’t have as much footage to work with as I would have liked. Though I now have footage from a solo trip on which I took much more footage.
Very good film but …
Very good film but along with reality shots what about some nice staged shots, often called beauty shots, try your writing skills when you return to do the editing. Keeping a verbal record is good. Have someone else take some picture of you. Comment with tips, how to setup, equipment etc. etc.

Before your post I had been meaning to get to this for a while now so here I am finally getting to it, thanks. I’ll just name the more significant lakes, I think this covers them. You should be able to see the route from them pretty clearly. We also took a full day off so it’s one day short. It’s a loop.

It’s my own boat. It’s the Evergreen 16′ Prospector, I quite like it. Not the lightest thing around but really sturdy and just feels nice. I talk about it more in the early comments of another video I have, “Algonquin Solo Canoe Trip – Part 1 of 2″.

Is that a rental canoe or your own? What type is it?
The camera I used …
The camera I used was a Canon PowerShot SD1000. It’s just a point-and-shoot but considering its size and primary function being for shooting photos it does a respectable job with video. I just picked up the PowerShot SD1100 which does a better job with video and has stabilization which should help a bit with the shaky footage in my vids next year.
The park is located in Ontario Canada about 3 hours west of Ottawa.
Nice Footage what …
