Temagami 8 Day Canoe Trip – Part 2 of 2 (2009)
This is the footage taken from an eight day canoe trip I did with a friend of mine in the Temagami region in Ontario, Canada.
It was my first trek in Temagami and it proved to be a tough go but worth every effort. It’s worth noting that a good chunk of the trip wasn’t actually in a park at all, hence some difficult portages.
The route involved about 41 lakes and rivers and I have a full one hour trip log in the wings that I will likely be posting on a future date to help anyone who would like to do this same trip or sections of it.
To outline the loop we did, some of the bodies of water involved – starting with: Red Squirrel Lake, Eagle Lake, Sir Devon Lake, Lady Evelyn Lake, Sucker Gut Lake, Lady Evelyn River – South Channel, Diamond Lake, Sharp Rock Inlet and back to Red Squirrel Lake.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy it…

Solo Canoe Trip 2009 (3 of 3)
This is part 3 of a 3 part video taken on a solo trip I did with my dog Maddy (aka The Goose) to the Algonquin region in Ontario Canada. We did a there-and-back starting at Wendigo Lake and moving South to Clam Shell Lake.
The weather was better than I could have hoped for with lakes of glass for almost the whole trip.
It was a nice relaxing trip and a great way to end the season.

Food for a 2 person, 8 day canoe trip
I was putting together some food for an eight day canoe trip in Algonquin Provincial Park and thought I might as well take ten minutes to put it on tape and toss it up on good ‘ol YouTube. Hopefully it will give some ideas for other canoe trippers or hikers out there as well as inspire some fellow trippers to fire some off their own favorite recipes for me to try out on the trail.
As I mention in this video, this is more food than required but makes for a comfortable trip. When I do solo tripping I tend to bring much less but when going with friends I’d rather be 100% positive we’ll have enough. I don’t mind being a little hungry if I packed on the light side for food but I don’t like others to suffer for having less food than they’re comfortable with.
Btw, due to the amount of gear and food and having a 16′ boat, my dog Maddy (aka The Goose) sat this trip out. She was sadly missed and will be joining me on future outings for certain.
Cheers,
Troy

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
