- In this episode, we continue running challenging whitewater as we make our way down the South Magnetawan River to it's end. Then we contend with the challenge of working our way upriver against the strong current, wading and lining as we go to try eliminate portaging altogether. On the final day, we continue to make our way back upriver until we eventually get to Harris Lake where we end the trip on another spectacular November day.
This video filled me with joy. There is nothing better than going on an adventure with friends that you can trust and have likemind ideas. I've only so fare been on wilderness trips with my canoe but I also dream about exploring more technical rivers in the future.
I really enjoy all of your videos, if you didnt notice.... BUT - you and Ben are the dream team. Make sure and take 11 trips with him this year. Let me come up and trip too lol
😄 Thanks buddy, appreciate it! We don't trip as much as we use to since he got a family, but we definitely still trip every year.
Thanks for sharing, Happy holidays
You bet! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family Dwayne!
Awesome video buddy. The new camera making a world of difference. Looks great. 👍
Thanks Adam! Actually that trip was from last year so the new camera wasn't used as yet. 😉 But thanks!
@@ThePursuitofPassion really eh. New editing tricks? Looks great regardless lol
😄👊
What did you say... "Is it worth it? Heck ya!" Love it! (Ben is working like a dog, though.. :) )
Right?! Partners like that are keepers! 😜
Cool
Thanks!
You boys are getting her done. Great job.🇨🇦👍
Thanks Tom!
Nice
Thank you!
THANK-YOU so much for sharing and educating. Get explanations.
You're welcome! Glad you got something useful out of the video. Appreciate you checking it out.
I like your trips with Ben he is very knowledgeable in the canoe.
That's great. I enjoy tripping with him too. No surprise we've tripped together for almost 15 years!
You two always Rock It. Well done again Lads. Music was really good. Thanks for sharing David.
We certainly try. You bet Larry, thanks again!
That was an exciting journey for me to watch. My trips on the Magnetawan took a lot of portaging. That's a great video. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
That's great Jimmy! Yeah, the Mag has a lot of rapids that necessitates portaging if you don't run them! 😝 You're welcome!
The power of hydraulics should never be underestimated! I got a good chuckle at your bannock, once after a long day paddling I made a batch of bannock using fish crisp 🤣 That truly is a beautiful river👍
Till next time David🍻
Yup, the river can be a beast! That is hilarious re bannock and fish crisp. Sometimes you just have to make it work! It really is, looking forward to going back for a future visit. Thanks buddy!
Too bad we are heading into winter. This gives me the urge to get out there. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays.
Yeah, winter is definitely here. I use to stress at this time, but now I enjoy winter trips. So all's good. But yeah, given the choice I would canoe all year round! 😉 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Thanks for another great adventure!
I need to share your video links with all my canoeing groups.
You're welcome Linda! By all means, thank you!!! 🙏
Was it worth making all that effort, pulling the canoe instead of paddling?
Excellent trip! Pancake, bannock, what's the difference? Anything in the woods tastes good! Enjoyed Ben's canoe dance at the end, too funny. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
😝 You're right, everything tastes good in the wood! Ben has some wicked dance moves. 😂 Thanks so much Jacqueline!
Mmmm, ban-cake 😋
😆 Oh well! 😝
You didn't dump! Was it faster lining upriver in November or taking the portage in June? Thanks for taking us along. It looked like a fun river to run - at least the downstream part.
Yup! We stayed open side up! Hmmm, hard to say. If you do a double carry, I think it would be the same. But that also depends on water levels too. Definitely a ton of fun! Hope to visit again when the water is even higher!
@@ThePursuitofPassion I think the double carry was about an hour and a quarter, not counting lunch. The lining did look like fun. And good practice too.
I didn’t understand, why did you go upstream?
Just because it was more fun than portaging the canoe back. Also gave us a chance to work on our tracking skills.
