- Hi there! We spent the day on the Pollet River with our friend Rory, an accomplished canoeist and instructor and a truly great guy. I can't get over how enlightening this day was. I erroneously thought I had a reasonably decent grasp of basic techniques but what a difference just one day of training can do. Hope you enjoy, we had a whole lot of fun. I still have a whole lot to learn but I can't wait to head back out! Thank you so much Rory!
Hi Mike and Sandra. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you some maneuvers and canoe strokes to assist in your quest to become better paddlers. I look forward to having you join me on a proper course where there is so much more to cover. Folks, spending a day with these guys is so inspiring! What you see on their videos is the real deal- they are joyful, fun loving, adventurous people who enjoy sharing their love of the great outdoors. What a great couple! Be safe out there everybody!
Thanks Rory! It was really great, we'll definitely be joining you on a course in the future when the opportunity comes up. I'd been obsessively researching ultralight solo canoes, but now looking at T-Formex canoes for rivers😄! Thanks again man!
There’s absolutely nothing you guys won’t do. Your energy as a couple , friends, and just as people are
I was watching the instructor standing in his canoe and I thought “show off” and then you said “show off”. I laughed and laughed. Great job you guys. I did the Bowen Lakes in high school and but not much canoeing since then. I remember with two people that the hardest part was getting the language right so that we could communicate and follow the stern paddlers ideas and instructions.
That looks like a great time. Your both such great adventurers. Keep having fun and making videos and I'll be watching
Sandra says "......a little bowdrill competition". And Mike says.."And Sandra's going to win". SMART MAN !!!
Love to watch this video stay safe and enjoy thanks nice video
Very cool everyone and thank you for wearing life jackets
Y’all learned some valuable skills !!! 👍 Enjoyed the magnificent scenery too !!! Seeing Sandra’s eyes get big when approaching the rapids was a big hit at our house 😳...!! Love you guys !!!!
right :)
Wow, nice job on the canoe. My dad and I were canoers way back. I canoed in Wyoming and Idaho. Nothing better than a quiet canoe journey with a few portages. You guys seem like naturals on the water!
I thought that was easy, but it is not, you are true adventurers,🚣♂️🚣♀️
Wow! That looks like so much fun 👍👍
had to came back happy i did . sure fun seeing you two doing this . Looked Like You Had Fun . Good Too Learn Well Don't ' I ' ll be Looking :)
That water does indeed look very cold. Well done. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐨👍💙💙💙💙💙💙
Guess we will be seeing a river camping video in the future!!!! Looking forward to it!! 🛶 🏕
Hi from a wet and rainy day here in Syracuse NY USA
That would have been an awesome experience to learn from a pro like that . Thanks for sharing ..
Thanks for posting this. Your video is the rare one where the subtle music enhances the production. Many "outdoors" videos have canned music that is awful. I mute them. Not so, with yours! I appreciate your teamwork. Nice to see.
That was so much Fun ! Thanks 🤗
Great new skills, and a great river to test them out on, I have been down that water may times... well done guys, you both make all your adventures fun..
I like the skid plate, great improvement. That looked like quite a trip.
I'm so glad to see the both of you wearing your pfd's. It's early in the year and that water is probably ice cold. The two of you did an incredible job. I can't wait to see you back at the shelter soon.
another great new adventure, thanks
Wow! this is so cool! I never have river paddled before.. Those are valuable lessons. Thank you for sharing.
well done ! :)
It's not wall-papering, but canoeing, that is the height of marital testing!!!! Great job, you guys! 👍😉🇨🇦🏆🛶💜 Rory is a good teacher and that is a beautiful 💜💜💜 little river!
That just had to be fun...nice river to canoe
Adorei a cor do caiak, verá porque 👉. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Parabéns Bela escolha.👍
Outstanding idea
Awesome! Soon you’ll be fearless!
Great! Love your. Videos
That looked like a fun and great learning day. Take care, Al
Wow welcome back my two beautiful friends?
Glad to tag along with you Sandra and Mike. A very well spent day paddling. Your friend who helped seems very nice 👍
Blessings from Manitoba ❣👍
Hey great segment! You guys work together so well. Really great to watch.
agree.
Wow cool, stay safe and enjoy
Great video as usual no problem canoeing 🛶 now 😀
That was awesome. I got so tired just watching y'all. GREAT Job
Look tough! But a lot of fun guys. 👌
Good job learning new skills. Time to look for a spray deck. Get more practice on small stuff until you are both more comfortable and then hit some bigger water !
I think the best learning tool would be to look at your cam footage, and I'm sure you did. Also nice water fall.
Hey Mike and Sandra.... thanks for posting the great video. Just curious, I used to live in down in your neighborhood and they used to have the Pollet River run.... do they still?
What is that awesome red boat being soloed? Looks a.bit like an OT Penobscot with reworked gunwales?
Hello. The video is very interesting, I am also on a journey to live in the forest, camping, hunting, cooking. hope to bring everyone moments of relaxation and entertainment.
Question, what was the name of the river you guys were canoeing?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
:)
spoiler alert: the canoe instructor is simon, obviously
Sir
First
Nice Video
