Thank you for watching, Mark!

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Glad I could take you back, Bubba. I'm always glad to share and love hearing when people enjoy watching.



Algonquin in the fall is beautiful. I figured we went a bit early this year for the...

Thanks, glad you enjoyed.

Good points! Since it's my girlfriend's hammock, I'll probably get another Dutch hammock, but this time with the knotty mod. I should definitely give the smaller pad a try, it would be one of my last...

Glad to share, and thanks for watching!

Glad to share Spurr, thanks for watching.

All good information, thank you. I'll refer back to this next time I plan a trip here. Overall it's a good trail for mainly covering some miles, along with some nice lakes to camp at.

Was a great time. Thanks for checking it out.



All of the video was shot with my phone - Samsung Galaxy S5. I used to lug my DSLR and a big lens around with me, but it was more of a burden than...

Agreed - and good to know about Guwesku Lake. Ramona definitely felt small and dead haha. The farthest site there was taken, but it looked like the nicest one. Maggie's Lake was really nice though. ...

We were actually there Sept 24-27, I just took a while to make the video and post it. Oak Lake looked beautiful, I kept wishing we could stay there. You're right - we went to Ramona on night one...

Thanks Jaxx, I really appreciate it.

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching.



I liked the timelapses too, I'm going to have to include more of those in future videos! I used Framelapse Pro for Android because it has a sleep...

A few friends and I headed up to Algonquin for a 4 night trip on the Western Uplands backpacking trail. Most of us are hammock campers, and I was ultralight with a base weight at 9.97lbs

Here is...

Nothing like a relaxing trip, great for taking in the views.

Surprised to hear that Wanderin' didn't find the XLC comfortable right away. But you're right to compare hammocks with shoes, no one...

Wow, camping there looks like a dream. Some great shots you got there.

What a great series, one of the best trip reports I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing Rob!

Exactly. So I squeeze some extra trips in on regular weekends too, like this coming weekend I'll be starting the first 40km of the Bruce Trail with a friend (Friday after work, Saturday, and Sunday...

Thanks Bubba, much appreciated. 2015 vacation days are looking tight for me with all the trips planned - but I'll be out there with you guys eventually, for sure.

I think it's mostly mental. I had problems sleeping for the first while even though I was warm and comfortable, it's just very different from a bed and it takes some time for the mind to adjust. Tire...

Wow, very detailed report. Looking forward to reading though, thanks.

Subscribed, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for trips with you guys, that would be a blast. Never been to Valens before, but it's not far for me.

Not at all! I have lots of friends who sleep in hammocks, none of us would go back to ground if we have the choice.

Not in my lifetime :laugh:

Haha my girlfriend is a big Leafs fan, but this was... not a good year for them.

Genuinely glad you enjoyed it.

It was a neat chair, a fun project when you have time to kill at the site.
In case anyone is interested, my friend said he followed these videos to make the chair:...

Very cool. It's the downhills that kill me - I can take the muscle pain, but joint pain is the worst. Did you do a trip report? I'd be really interested in checking it out. I want to see what...

I'd love to hear more. I'm quite low on vacation days in 2015 (too many trips planned already) but I'm definitely interested. Where do you guys like to go? Is there a group formed on here that I can...

Thanks ST!

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed. I've heard that Kawartha is nice in the winter, but I have never been. Did you snowshoe across the lakes?

Welcome Kurt! Which hammock did you decide to start with?

Thanks, excited to be here!

This has been a great series Rob, really enjoying the trip and impressed with the video editing. Also you mentioned in a video how you roll up your cuben tarp after pulling-on the snake skins - I...

The lakes are Algonquin Provincial Park were still not iced-out by the end of may, so some friends and I went portaging at Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park (7 friends total). We started at Long...

HammockGear has the Pheonix 20 and 40, or the Incubator 20 and 40 if you think you'd prefer a full-length underquilt. You can also request a 30 degree version if you send them an email.

I use my...

Hey guys, I'm from Ontario, Canada. I often go backpacking and portaging in Algonquin, Kawartha, and on the Bruce Trail. I have quite a collection of hammocks, backpacks, insulation, and lots of...
