Me too. My favourite videos are from YouTuber "Tumblehome". Chard told me about him. He's a hammock camper but I don't know if he's on the forums.Originally Posted by Bluknu
Hahaha! Me too. I've been watching anything canoeing and Algonquin or hamocking in general good or bad. I'm now at the point I'm watching them for a second and third time.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I don't check the forums too often.
I'm actually back at home now, but if you could put us in touch it would be great for future hangs next year! I could help him get started hangin around campus if he hasn't already got into hammocking.
Thanks!

Turns out he is coming on this trip and will be borrowing my spare setup.
I'm sure you'll meet him, he'll be the one with the man bun. Lol
Unfortunately I can't get out for this hang, but hopefully I'll meet him on a future trip!

I wish I could make it, but my daughter is spending the week and that weekend with me. She’ll be flying in from Nepal where she was working the last 6 months.
I’ve camped on Rain a number of times. The best site I’ve stayed on is at the point where the lake opens up, across from the island. This site is good for large groups and has areas for hammocks. I haven’t stayed at that site for a few years now, but last year when I paddled by, there were 2 Hennessy hammocks right at the water’s edge on the north side of the campsite.
I stayed on the site just east of the McCraney Lake portage several times. I stay there to get an early start the next day on the portage. It’s not as good, but there are trees well spaced for hammocks. I’ve seen large fish swimming close to the shore, close to the surface in late fall at this site.
I’ve never stayed at the island sites. The west end appears very popular, but the east end looks closed in and never seems occupied.
I’ve also stayed at a site on the south side across from the island; close to the Western Uplands Trail. I wouldn’t recommend these sites as I noticed the hikers when they go by and sometimes, they are curious and will drop in.
Rain Lake allows motor boats and there’s a cottage north of the island that often gets rented out. There are fishermen who will troll up and down the lake, especially in the early morning. Have your earplugs on Keg.This is the only lake in all my Algonquin trips where I’ve had park wardens come by to check permits and campsites. This happened 3 out of the 4 times I’ve stayed on this lake.
Have fun and pics or it didn’t happen.

I really love his vids too. I have a feeling he's a professional. I noticed him in a CBC jacket I think. He is good. I hope he gets back to making videos. One of my faves.
Are we doing a group meal? If so which day/meal?

I don't think I'll be able to participate in a group meal. Sorry, no pot roast this time. I'll be limited to dehydrated meals as I'm restricted to how much stuff I can fit in the kayak. Should be interesting because I usually bring enough for a week for my weekend trip. ha ha ha

Hi All,
I stumbled across this thread last week and have been putting off commenting because I’m not 100% sure I can go. It is looking more promising so if I am able to go, I would very much like to join you, if it isn’t too late, and there will be an extra spot,
If I can go, I wouldn’t be able to go up until Saturday morning.
