About two weeks ago I was contacted by Kevin Callan to help fill their group with the hopes of paddling back from Annie Bay on Opeongo Lake after being dropped off by Algonquin Outfitters boat shuttle. Lots of laughs and good foods were shared, it was an experience I'll always be grateful for. We paddled along the beautiful fall scenery and I managed to stay alive even after breaking Tim's axe, which they don't make anymore... Sorry Tim.

Thank you Kevin, Andy, Tim, and Angel for such a wonderful time.

This trip took place during Nation Truth and Reconciliation Day which is a very special day in Canada. Please consider checking out the resources below.

Finally got a chance to sit back and watch this whole thing. Had me laughing through it and it was perfectly complimented by your beautiful cinematic shots and tasty looking meals. Well done.

I was going to comment on the great editing on this, then I checked your about page and see you do this for a living! Got to love it when passion meets profession. Awesome job, I picked up a few tips to use. Great video.

Oh wow!! What a great company to go on a trip with. I got introduced to the world of canoeing and backcountry camping reading Kevin's books. Very much by chance. Coming from India as an immigrant only a few years back, I was completely unaware and ignorant of this recreational activity - there is no such exposure from where I come from. Thanks to KC and a whole lot of other experts that I fell in love with this world.

Great, fun video, Evan. It was great meeting you last at the Ottawa Swifty canoe meet!

That was well filmed, Evan. Thank you. Hope you picked up a few good tips and tricks from these guys. They've been at it a long time.

Absolutely love this austere account of the trip. I think you really captured the essence of the trip, without even using commentary. Well done, Evan! And, not a bad bunch of fellows to share a canoe trip with, if you had to ;)

Lucky!!!! It was nice of Kevin to invite his Uber driver along 🤣
You’ve been initiated lol
That is a bucket list trip for me.

I watched Kevin's video of this trip yesterday. Yours is a little more serene. I was hoping to see you chopping wood with Tim's axe...you must have lost that footage somehow.
