Interesting history about the Grumman Canoe. We're so glad everyone made it OK to the campsite. 😊 Looking forward to part 3! ❤

Mickey looks like he did pretty well! This looks like so much fun and even a bit intimidating. We did a rafting ride up in Glacier National Park a few years ago, but it wasn't a white water rafting ride, which we were happy about. It was mostly smooth. 😂 Looks like Mrs. North knows what she's doing! ❤ Fun trip! 😊 Thanks for sharing! Love the lunch spot on the beach. On to part 2! 🙂

Great campsite. 😊 Good idea to label your dry bags. 🎒 It's good to have a camp chair. Love your tarp, too. Those are nice to have. Beautiful place! ❤ Great drone footage, as always. 😊

Congrats on your 100th video! ❤ Awesome! We're so behind on videos lately with being on vacation, so we'll hopefully be catching up soon! 😊 Love the kayaking. Such great scenery. Nice drone shots! Beautiful islands. Wonderful campsite. 🏕 We love how they say it's a 2-person tent when you barely can fit one. We have a 3-person tent, and we both fit just right. 😂 Three would be a very tight fit. Yummy, blueberries! 🫐 Nice there's no bugs!!! This was a lovely 100th video! Great job, Daryl! 💞 Love the sunset at the end. 😊

Loved your history lesson on Grumman aircraft. Being a bit of an aircraft buff myself, I always appreciate some of those amazing historical airplanes. Loved the canoe ride as well and your dog is so cute! Have a great weekend. 😊👍

Qué lago tan increíble, navegar con canoas allí debe ser una experiencia inigualable. Y la historia me ha conmovido 😃💚👍🏻29 +subs

Very interesting looks a good canoe well made and with an interesting history, rare to see here they're mostly fiberglass

I envy you Georgian Bay is so Beautiful. Keep up the good work on my way to Grundy Lake today can't wait.,

I am really enjoying this expedition series! I came for the dry wit and wildlife shots (@ 2:52 wow!) - but ended up an expert on all things Grumman! Good to see that the family managed the rock garden without incident. The beach site looked great and the baked potatoes looked delectable. Love the dreamy water shot @2:31. Looking forward to part 3 Daryl! Cheers, T.

Nicely shared story of this adventure.

Happy to hear everyone made it through the final rapids ok! That section of the river looks pretty rocky too. Great to learn about your Grumman canoe- I hadn’t heard of them, though I’d heard of the Grumman airplanes before. Cozy camping spot along the river - really nice to have a campfire. I’m sure you had a great time with your family! 👍👍🛶🛶 Enjoyed the video, thanks Daryl and family! 🙌🙌

Sounds like it's a great design and rugged canoe and very reliable imagine if the war didn't end your canoe could have become a plane lol. Hope you have a great week.

Great idea to add those tags to the dry bags and I will probably use your tip for the bag full of bags being a good cushion. Such a beautiful location. Thank you for sharing!

I paddled a Grumman many times, the model with the splash guard. A sturdy canoe but a total hell to moose hunt with! Thanks for the bit of history👍

As always this is a well made video of you. It was very interesting to watch. Many greetings 😀

Really enjoying this series! My father-in-law has a very old Grumman, I did not know the history. BTW... my son and I just did a day trip to Temagami for a paddle/hike. One of your videos inspired us to end the day with a climb up the Fire Tower! th-cam.com/video/LmaikDPCp9M/w-d-xo.html

Great video of the second leg especially the bald eagle and the history of Grumman and how it became a canoe builder. Besides all the downsides you mentioned, it also sticks to rocks, which can be dangerous when running rapids, so I'm guessing that's one of the reasons for lining the 'boney' rapids you described. Glad everyone made it safely through and I hope you has a hearty dinner.. Love potatoes baked in a fire!!! looking forward to the next episode.

Very cool. Great history lesson. I’ve heard of Northrop Grumman but didn’t know about the canoes. Nice family trip. 👍18

Very interesting history of the canoe! Looks like a fun trip so far😁 Great job, Daryl😀

I never would have guessed that an aircraft company pivoted to canoes. Very neat to learn that history. Looks like a good product that will last for years. Great shots of the eagle and looked like a nice campsite.

Great history on Grumman canoes, aircraft’s, etc. .. You forgot to add “indestructible” to your adjectives! 😂

That was some very fascinating history of the canoe! Looking forward to part three. Have a great week my friend!

From my experience with a Grumman all you say is true...but one thing for sure if that they were built to last!! I do believe my friend still has his and that trip we were on was way back somewhere between 1980 and 1983! And I am sure the ding is also there that he still makes sure I know was my fault!! LOL

what are the odds ? ... if grumman was working on canoe prototypes in 1943 then maybe Roosevelt was testing one out while at that lodge on West river.... or not 😜... what's the point of having a war plane when you can have a canoe.... nice history lesson ... keep it up....

dependable, rugged, and unpretentious - sounds like the perfect canoe! Thanks for the interesting history. Bring on Day 2!

It's awesome how much history there is in some everyday things and you wouldn't even know. Looking forwards to next week!

Such a nice video and family adventure ❤👍 Thank you very much for sharing

I have a canoe just like that... Thanks for the great history... I haven't used it in a couple of years... But now I'm tempted to take it back out. Glad everybody made it to the campsite safely... 😊✌️

Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Daryl loved how you edited this video🙂❤👍

Awesome video and beautiful adventure 👏👏👏👍🤙💪

Aw, wow! Beauty adventure! Daryl, I had a Grumman canoe just like that! I gave it to my young daughter and her husband, but they offer it to me whenever I want it, which sadly, isn't as often these days. We tried a tandom kayak, we've tried other canoes, but honestly, my heart is with that old aluminum battleship of a canoe! Cant be beat! Another epic video! Greetings from Quetico where we awoke to trumpeter swans on our last day! Great provincial park. You must visit if you haven't already. (I have a couple of pf bars this am and snuck on here while the Missus is sleeping in to catch your video- did not disappoint! Back to business now! Lol!) Cheers!

I remember that exact canoe banging its way down the Spanish River a long, long time ago.

first :)

amazing & thumbs up 👍🍀🔥

Hi Daryl :) What an incredible and beautiful adventure

That's great 👍 what a stunning river for a paddling adventure.. something I'd like to do 👌 Glyn 🇬🇧

An awesome family paddle. Those falls are stunning. A lot of "firsts" fpr you and your kids. Good thing the Mrs. Was there to be the veteran. That was sure a nice spot to paddle. Bummer about the foggy camera. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to what awaits down river!

Hi Daryl and family - fun to see you all out together on the Mississagi River! Good thing your wife has experience and can lead the way! Mickey was sure brave and trusting to join you on your adventure. Beautiful section, moving pretty fast- I’m assuming it was a one day trip or you’d need a fair amount of gear! I’ll have to wait for the next episode- 👌😄 Cheers, Jen

Excited to see you and the whole family paddling this section of the river! As you say, the best time to paddle any section of a river would be May/June - but even summer flows in the middle of the day on this river are typically enough to make a good portion of the rapids runnable. We have an idea of the sections where you may have "bottomed out" on...we'll wait for the next episode!

Did I hear a bleep, Lol .. What an exciting and beautiful trip... So much fun, much better than any amusement park... These are the kind of trips that we dream about.. Family, nature, excitement and discovery... Great fun Daryl... Happy Wednesday, Jim 😊✌️

That sure was a rewarding and fun Adventure Daryl... There's something very special about doing a solo trip like that... The area of course is spectacular and your organizational skills are to be admired... Great idea with the bags... Thanks for another uplifting, positive and fun video... 😊✌️

Awesome! I love a good cliffhanger 👍😲👍

Loving some falls. That was exciting

I love seeing families out on an adventure together! Looks beautiful and I love the injection of indigenous and other history in your storytelling. Looking forward to the next episode

Looks like you planned well and had everything you needed on your camping trip. Well done!!

So wonderful and peaceful. Beautiful place and beautifully filmed. Such an inspiring video!

Beautiful video! I love how you have interspersed gorgeous drone video of the area. Absolutely wonderful!

Nice video of that section of the Mississagi River!! I was surprised that you were running fast water in what appears to be a small sea kayak!! Good work out there.. Coming close to rocks is always a scary proposition but especially in faster water!! Mickey did very well considering he's not a 'water' dog!! Nice to have an experienced paddler like 'Mrs. Fly North' taking the lead and giving the two kayakers the best line to follow. You and your kids did very well paddling on fast water for the first time. Great draw strokes Ali!! Looking forward to the 2nd video!!!

What a fun stretch of moving water. That beach looked like a terrific spot for lunch as well... Although I have paddled the upper Mississagi, I have not paddled this section beneath the falls. Looks like I might have to add it to the list! Standing by for part 2... Hopefully the later stretches will be less bony. Cheers! T.

I still remember the time a friend of mine with two small kids in the middle were paddling some rapids in Keji...well, it didn't go so well as one of kids in the middle of the rapids got a little scared and decided to stand up! Over we all went...gear and everything! We were fortunate that the water was only knee deep and walked our way to shore. When ever my friend and I see one another we still remember that time...especially everything being pretty wet for the first couple days of a 4-day canoe around the park. Looks like you sure did spend some pretty great quality time together! Looking forward to Part 2!
