SYNOPSIS
A 30 day, 620 km canoe journey through the expansive wilderness of Côte-Nord, Quebec. The route is designed to traverse the headwaters of the Romaine River, a river seeing significant change as part of Quebec’s major energy project Plan Nord, followed by the descent of the little-known Aguanish River. The goal of the route is to gain a first-hand perspective of the land of wild rivers as we paddle and portage our way across the Labrador-Quebec plateau to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
This trip was supported by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Mountain Equipment Co-op.

Loved this! A great start to the series! looking forward to watching the rest :D
Tha ks for the recommendation on your page. Keep that nose clean my friend 🤙
Here from your link!
Here from your post as well great recommendation!
King of the world! Great to see Matt along for a big trip. Loved every second and can't wait for more. Are you editing now and then Alex editing once he joins? Always curious how you split that up, since editing is kind of the reward for all the filming work.
The moment we've all been waiting for, the EPIC journey is about to begin!!!!!
Many years ago (1980's) I was with a small group paddling some of the same water. We did about 180 miles and believe it or not we never saw a bug! It was August and for some unknown reason there were no bugs and almost no rain.
Kevin, that sounds like paradise.
The reflection of the clouds in the water was absolutely stunning. This is going to be great.
Stoked for another series, can’t wait to see what’s ahead
Two people. One Canoe. Deep into the backcountry. So cool to watch your knowledge and skills progress over the years to allow you to take on such a trip with confidence. Can't wait to watch each segment unfold.
THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING FOLKS
FINALLY!!!!
Just what we needed - another great series preparing our hearts and minds to get back outdoors. Looks incredible and can't wait to see what the next episode has in store.
This area just keeps bringing us back
Dont tell me its now ? Wouhou !
"Lac à l'eau claire " , well said in french Alex 👍
Wow can't wait to watch every episode. Easily the most adventurous people on youtube and you make it look easy. Epic!!!
cool !
Hey man ! Great video as always, I wanted to tell ya your filming, editing and narration skills are getting really good, I can see a big difference in your older videos and the new ones, so great job with that ! WOW... Four day trip to this monster of a trip? man your buddy really likes to jump into things head first haha Those bugs were insane, my eyes were watering just seeing that many haha (not sure why that happens to me) Anyways great stuff as always, Cheers !
Appreciate the kind words Maritimer
yaaaaaaaa boyyyyyssss
Been waiting for thus since you announced a new series months ago. Awesome video, looking forward to the rest.
The bloody face is exactly why I'll only camp in the fall! Lol That would drove me nuts.
Great stuff guys! Going to need the recipe for Matt's backwoods curry chicken!
wow its finally here! been looking forward to this forever. my twin and i love to watch it
I have found that red wine and hard liquor give me a terrible headache!! Dehydration too but drinking water alleviates that. Nothing alleviates the alcohol headache. I just has to wear off.
It's nearly 9am here in Ireland but I'm waiting until I finish work to throw this on my TV. Get that full experience! 😁
I didn't see any rods bending? Hopefully many to come? Good Lads, and thanks for sharing.
Thanks guys.
How perfect is that weather for lake paddling… and mosquitoes 😁
As starts go... that was a great one! Thanks for sharing and why am I not thirty years younger?!!!
Nice 🌞 start I call rain on day ??? 7🌧😄 going to enjoy the journey.
What can wait to see what's next..cool something with sun and warm temperatures to watch.
what a threat to see a new serie from you, maybe a projet idea. Permetrin ! I srpay on tent net and cloth that help, no bugs can live on but die
Was that a bear 🐻 looking to join you (in the red circle) ??? What dates did you accomplish this awesome river trip ? Thanks for letting us tag along on the stern of your canoe 🛶
I usually think drone footage is kinda neat, but it doesn't represent what you would see from the ground.... But at 14:32 , it's sooo worth it!! What a peculiar landscape to us, southerners.... Thanks!
Awesome ‼️ 💯 Great episode and amazing scenery! Bugs are a little crazy though 😜 🤪 lol.
Awesome first video, now to wait patiently for the others. Lol
Very nice. I travelled through there in 1971.
30 day trip, many days of planning and I am sure a lot of editing. Thank you again so much for all the effort and sharing it.
Absolutely stunning landscape and scenery waiting for episode 2 👍🇬🇧☕
Isn't that the same put in location that you used on your first Labrador expedition? I know the route is completely different, but the train ride and put-in reminds me of the one you used before. Can't wait for the next episode, and i want to tell you that y'all make these videos a little more interesting than most of the other people documenting similar trips. I also can't wait for the smiling faces when your special delivery comes in from Ontario. 😀
Thanks Tammy! We started the Boreal to Barrenlands trip about 100 miles north. It's the same rail line though, good eye.
Little tip use bright luggage and toss gps chips n them
Absolutely fantastic video!
Super 3 days. Can't wait for the rest. Keep them coming Noah and Matt. Lots of wildlife so early.
Pretty spectacular so far. The sound of the mosquitos and the blood from blackfly bites remind me of many a trip in northern Canada. Nice rapids so far and the weather is too nice. You need a little wind to sort out the bugs. I am sure things will change going forward.
This is going to be epic, I thoughroughly enjoyed the fist episode, cant wait for more!
Oh yeah!!! I’m REALLY looking forward to this series.
Great to see new video of such an epic trip.
thanks for the video
So amazing to see you back in the wilderness... Those bugs are insane!!!
Stunning cant wait for the next one!
Great footage so far was awesome on the big screen 👌
There it is!!! And it is epic!
My heart was in my throat during the rapids. I was so glad to see you got into the water. Wash those bug parts off! Great trip to watch so far.
Is that a bear in that red circle?
We’re those deer flies on your friends head at about 25min? If it was, my sympathies. I know black flies and mosquitos can be a horrendous nuisance, but an actual swarm of deer flies? Dunno if I could take that. Looking like it was an awesome adventure.
You are correct Jim :)
Let’s gooooo
Just what I needed on this cold Sunday morning with a cup of tea following a 2 day ice storm in Nova Scotia. Gives hope that winter will end and Spring is around the corner. Thanks so much for sharing your journeys. Very much looking forward to the next few weeks of thoroughly taking in and enjoying these episodes!
Thanks Kelly, 9 C and sun in Halifax this weekend :)
Epic drone shots ! Stoked for the series and the arrival of Elk and Alex !
LET'S F*CKING GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Super Video und sehr unterhaltsam. Viele Grüße ronactive
Great video guys
Wow that’s all I can say.
You guys do a great job with these videos, keep them coming! Love it!
Awesome first episode.
Can't wait to see the next video.
Epic scenery.
Well done gentlemen 👍
Inspiring stuff ❤️
Such an incredible start to the trip!
This looks like a great route and trip. The drone shots look great. Looking forward to the rest!
Will polar bears be waiting for you at Aguanish?
Luckily, no.
Bravo Northern Scavenger again! Way overdue on another epic adventure. truly top of your class in canoeing adventure videos on TH-cam today, so glad to see you back 🇨🇦🛶
The last camp site was pretty awesome! Beautiful country, so many bugs.
Mosquitos and Flies are a nightmare in deepforests or near a swamp lol. Don't go there during July. Best months to visit the North are August-September.
OMG. I am so jazzed up for this expedition! I can't wait for the next show drop. Fun and courageous that each of you hold the torch and scavenge your own adventures! thank you from us.
Good stuff guys!!! Very much looking forward to the rest of the series. That last camp site looked 👌
Thanks Jorck, we were calling that campsite Dragonfly Island.
Wednesday's just got good again. Thanks!
Awesome start to an epic adventure! Looking forward to the rest of the series guys!
Heck yes!! I have been so looking forward to this series! Well done guys!
Awesome 👍
Epic, can’t wait for the next one, loved the shots from the back of the canoe showing what you guys are seeing down rapids.
Awesome
Limer to hear speaking franche, really Nice introduction site thé train voyage a-t-il the beggining, thanks a lot for sharing, I will follow thé série! Sebastien
A friend sent me this to watch. I instantly subscribed and I can’t wait to follow along!
Been really looking forward to this - looks brilliant, can't wait to see how it unfolds 😆
Ok, tell me that wasn't a bear at 16:30
How do you get to where you can do this with confidence? I long to do something like this.
Much appreciated for sharing... definitely makes a long COVID winter feel palatable (almost).
You make me happy ! I waiting for the next one. Great pictures my friend.
Great start off to the video. 2 things .....1: Should always send the Dragonfly Union a heads up of your trek to help with the bugs. 2: If you need to drop one and lots of bugs around especially mornings, do what you can to protect your swing-set. Helps alleviate pain down the road hehe. Looking forward to the next episode.
Worth the long hiatus! Incredible, epic, exciting, and EXCELLENT!!!
Thanks Paul, glad to have you with us for another adventure
Love your superb trips! Stay safe.
HELPFUL HINT (I hope) -
I'm wondering if you guys have heard about the famous (or INfamous) bicycle wheel portage equipment? It works like this:
You acquire a couple of old bicycle wheels for each canoe and a sturdy (aluminum?) rod as an axle... you attach the wheels to the axle (use any old 'quick release' bushing) and a fitting or clamp device to attach the axle to the bottom of the canoe... when you are going through the Bush on a Portage, snap the axle/wheel on to the bottom of each canoe and wheel it where you need to go... the wheels will go over almost anyting. Detach wheels and axle when you reach water... I've seen this done in Ontario lakeland... saves one heck of a lot of grunt work dragging a canoe.. you can figure the finer details...an added weight of only maybe 25 lbs per canoe...
Just a thought...
Missed you guys I was just thinking about your canoe adventures the other day. Have you tried those water flavored concentrates I get mine from Amazon.
I love you guys, but "Notoriously known" hurts me more than hearing your canoes scrape against the rocks. It's like "Famously famous".
Really love the content though - can't wait until Spring.
Extraordinary adventure and videography! I'm rowing along with you on my couch. Can't wait for the next episode.
What a beautiful spot..great video,awesome photography..take care,stay safe and thanks for sharing 🙂
Xander Budnick sent me. My first video on your channel and I gotta say, the quality on this is insane! Definitely going to enjoy watching this.
Edit: Subscribing for sure
Thank you guys so much for sharing your journey. Can't wait to see more.
Looks like a nice trip, 30 days!
Loved the video begining to end. So realistic even though I am 2000 miles away I am itching like crazy.
Wait so you guys just drink the water straight from the river? Is it not necessary to boil it, or did I miss something.
Not very experienced with this kind of stuff
Edit: just finished the video and that was amazing. Definitely subscribed
So glad it's a 10 part series.... Can't wait to see more!
Awesome stuff guys! So refreshing and inspiring to watch! Already can't wait for the next one!
Absolutely awesome video. GREAT JOB!!!!!
Nice to see you guys back with another epic Labrador series, been looking forward to it!👍Thanks.
Appropriate French title for this series might have been - Et pour la merde de moustiques et de la riviere sauvage de la cote. ..... or not ... saw E9 and now fully interested in the full series.. .these guys rock but with a name like Booth you have to wonder if being in the woods is in the blood. Booth was a big forestry name in Canadian history.
Alright guys! Another journey and I'm thrilled about it. :) Thanks
Incredible! Great video, as always. Can't wait to see the rest.
