Solo Kayak Camping on Algonquin Park's Big Trout Lake Loop, May 2024

For my first kayak trip of 2024 I tackled the Big Trout Lake loop in Algonquin Park, starting from Canoe Lake and traveling 99km in four days (including doubling back to double carry the portages). The bugs were barely out yet, the spring weather was amazing, the skies cleared up for some astro-photography, and there was plenty of wildlife, all adding up to an amazing trip. Join me on my journey! (re-upload as I accidentally deleted this -- oops!) The audio isn't always the best given wind and my basic setup, so I've added subtitles to help.
