Two Packs and a Pup

Two Packs and a Pup

Exploring the Ontario backcountry with our enthusiastic Golden Retriever named Emma. We love canoeing, backcountry camping, hiking, portaging, cooking on the fire and swimming.. lots of swimming.

    Hey there you three!!! I saw you posted on IG but I’m trying to ween myself off of everything but KZread when it comes to social. Maybe I should do it the other way around but who knows😂. Just wondering if you guys are going to be putting stuff up on the tube anymore?🥲. Miss you guys and hoping you’re having a good summer!! NQU

    did she really say that if you bring oranges you have to pack out the rinds? o_0

  • @TwoPacksandaPup
    @TwoPacksandaPupАй бұрын

    Absolutely I did. Everything packed in should be packed out. There is no trash pick up in the backcountry and just because it’s ‘natural’ doesn’t mean it’s natural to the area , if it did not come from there, if we brought it in, we are more than capable of bringing it back out. We are responsible to do so. Leaving rinds behind will attract wildlife to the site and these things don’t decompose as quickly as we perceive that they do. Besides, there is no compost pile here. There is too much traffic in parks for anyone to think they can leave something behind. If every camper left something behind, natural or not it would become a dump. Literally.

    James does use one now, he wasn’t doing a lot of fishing the first few years we had Emma because she was VERY difficult to canoe train.. and then to keep calm when fishing.. and James is an ultralight minimalist lol but she’s pretty good now so he’s fishing a lot more.

    Great video! I watch it a couple times a month when I need to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life! Two questions for you, if you don’t mind. What dates was this trip? I live in Oklahoma and I’m planning a fall trip and want to go peek foliage as you two did. What entry and route was this? After having seen the camping spot so many times in your video, I want to experience it for myself. My wife and I are heading to BWCA next month, can’t wait for the peaceful nothing all around. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos to share for us. Greatly appreciated. Safe travels and happy adventures friends!

  • @TwoPacksandaPup
    @TwoPacksandaPupАй бұрын

    Awe thanks Jeff! Honestly, we love sharing our trips for this reason, the videos can bring some peace and comfort when you can’t get out into nature. Tide you over until you can get out, or remind us of past experiences. This was Oct 2nd-5th but every year is different for peak colour. Weather sparks the start of fall colour changes and it shifts every year. This makes catching peak colour difficult because the best way to time it is to have flexibility, watch the weather and book last minute. Of course in Algonquin you have to book your lake and dates etc so we often leave things to the last minute and see what’s free, or just pick dates without regard for how the colours will be. Please dm me on Instagram.

    Would have thought you might have put one of you with each of them in a canoe just to have one stronger camper with them at least to help out some. It looks like they did ok so I guess it's irrelevant at this point.

    Just discovered via my sister. Love the trips, love Emma but the modern equip is fantastic. The Canoe I carried in the 60s was 70-80 lbs not counting the food pack. Have some suggestions for you if you don’t mind. Islands are ideal as the wind helps keep bugs & bears at bay, but you do need to get firewood on shore. You're strong enough to keep the paddle away from the gunnel so you won’t hurt your hands and could get more power by sliding you're lower hand down toward blade. But you guys are great if you want to ignore.

    She’s lucky enough that she swims almost everyday - without a life vest.. but when we’re on a trip, we all wear one. Period. We’re on the water for 6+ hours a day, often in new places, there’s no harm in safety and setting an example for others. Luckily it doesn’t cause her any discomfort 😊♥️ she swims at camp without one of course.
