I currently use this one

It’s okay. Really hard to get signal most times. Not sure if it’s the radio’s problem or the fact so many towers have been shut down, they are too far apart. Never had two radios side by side to compare. I just like it because it can be powered by multiple sources for emergency situations. I’m guessing the one you listed will most likely get better signal though.

A great video from Jon who sums it up quite nicely. Please share this to everyone you know and get them to sign the petition and send emails to the government. The more awareness the better!

I’ll eco the others on the mechanical noises on Radiant. But a beautiful lake none the less. If you’re interested in ruins, watch the video link below of some things you can find near one of the campsites. If you walk the rail line, you will find all kinds of things.

Thanks for watching the series GordK! You could most likely setup three tents but two are bowls and one other spot is down by the water and very exposed to the wind. Make sure they are free standing because the whole area is a few centimetres of dirt on top of rock. Swimming was great! The rock ledge my brother jumped off of was deep. One of the better sites to swim because we didn’t have to walk down into the water. Thanks for that link! I will check it out and send it off to my brother. Being a firefighter, he will be all over that. Thanks!

Last video of the series is up on my YouTube page. We head out, stopping at some places like the railway and the Barron Canyon lookout trail. For anyone who has been watching, thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoyed the journey!

Thanks! He is a firefighter. He does FireFit so I’m sure he got it at a competition or someone gave it to him.

Part 3 takes us on a day trip to High Falls off of Stratton Lake. Long steep portages make things interesting. Enjoy!

Pretty cool you saw bears in there. We wanted to explore in that area but it looked to be a sacred site so we kept going. The camp sites were surprisingly clean. But after hearing the stories from this summer, I wasn’t going to be surprised by much. You need to go to Cork! Feels deep interior but is easily accessible. The site we stayed at was pretty good too. Thanks for watching the Temagami series! Yeah it was a crazy trip with a lot of firsts. We’re excited to go back again sometime in the near future!

Southern site. We went to Cork because of the trip log you wrote. Thanks for the good review! It was worth it!

My brother Tom and I went for a trip this September to go see the Barron Canyon and the High Falls Water Park. We started from Achray and stayed on Cork Lake for three nights. Part 1 of the series is below for your viewing pleasure!

I was scared when Mark was whacking the hatchet/log against the bench while the saw was sitting on the bench unfolded.

I agree! I brought a hatchet on my very first canoe trip because I didn’t have a saw. I have never brought one since. They are a huge unnecessary risk. As seen with the Baird brothers, things can go really bad fast and with lasting consequences.

To me some of the most fascinating footage was that chipmunk.

We saw three that day I believe. Guess it was moving day! Kicking the kids out of the parents domain.

Thanks GordK and faitzy! 

solos, agreed. This was the first trip I actively looked for moose. On all my other trips with family and friends, if we see one, we see one but never get disappointed if we don’t. We actually like seeing the smaller animals more. Otters, beaver and snow shoe hairs to name a few.

Checkout the first of three videos of a base camping trip Mark, Steve and I did in late June. I’m not much of a writer so my trip logs consist of videos. We had one goal and that was to see as many moose as possible. If you can believe it, I have never seen a moose in person before and Mark was set on changing that with this trip. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
