Keenan & Ashley I loved this video, your interaction with one another "full exposure" especially had me laughing! Marriage is a wonderful thing if your willing to put in the time to spend togetherness, which I see you both enjoy these adventures together. I hope to see a video of the two of you at 70years old back in Alaska where you proposed to Ashley (Keenan)
Just came across this one today. One of the best paddling and I thought it was the perfect mixture of silence and dialogue between you two. Thanks so much for putting this out there. It was awesome. I also like the minimal use of music. Music has its place for sure, but silence too is so kind of music, especially in these kind of settings that you guys go out to. Thanks again for a great video!
I started following Jim Baird, then Jon this summer, Xander in the Fall and now you this Winter. Thank you for the great videos! Great editing job and the cinematography.
Brings back memories. Traveled from Mackinaw City to The Benjamins. We got stuck at Eagle Island for three days from extreme high winds. We put two anchors down and tied the boat to a tree. What a blast! Now both retired and travel by water very little.
Nothing like a good snort while watching the last rays of the day. Enjoyed the roller coaster ride, you both handled it well. Thanks for sharing you two. I've always enjoyed your music selection.
We kayak camped on Philip Edward Island in July by the Fox Islands. It’s hard to believe such a beautiful place exists. Betty Lou & Hugo are definitely loving life 😊
Great video.You did an excellent job of capturing just how rough the waters can get. And yes sometimes those thunder/strikes can be a little too close for comfort. Looking forward to Part 2.
At 24:05 I thought you inserted a famous painting! Thanks for bringing us along!!! Also my pup did incredible on his first trip, already booked a mid October trip to test our shoulders and legs with some real distance
Oh that’s awesome. I’m really glad it went well with the pup. We couldn’t imagine tripping without our dogs. Makes for a different experience. Enjoy the fall trip with your pup.
Very calming video even with the occasional lightning and big waves, I enjoyed the contrast of your editing and the visuals/landscape views. Something about the water, waves, islands, trees moved by the wind. Thank you hope to see the futures when you have them ready. Thanks
We were in Jasper having left Quisnel BC around this time in August and the cloud cover was much welcomed it was a heat wave then it rained hard. Making stunning conditions to view the many stunning peaks along the way. We took the RMEngineer train. The sunsets were concentrated with high clouds above the peaks. the Caribou and The Canadian Rockies area is stunning, making for one beautiful photo after another. Had missed traveling our nearby neighbors to the north. Love your channel. Me and my son whose 13 also love your videos. 🤷🏼♀️
That sounds like a great trip. BC certainly has some pretty breathtaking areas doesn’t it. Always appreciate your comments and support and are glad you and your son love the videos. 🙏
Outstanding! Each new film is more cinematic than the last. I think the new aspect ratio works really well - beautifully balancing the broad tapestry of the landscape with the little rainy details that you have woven into the story, such as the water bottles and the blades of grass. I can't wait to see Woodland Caribou. In the meantime I'm experiencing a strong urge to re watch Dersu Uzala!
Thank you very much for the nice comment. Really appreciate you taking the time to send this message. The woodland caribou video will be out sometime this winter as we have a few other videos to get to before that but hopefully you’ll enjoy it when it’s out!
This was a great video! I did get a fair amount of anxiety seeing you guys traverse the waves haha. Great footage as usual! I’m definitely getting inspired to do more outdoor adventures!
Little advice. When the mrs is being a little naughty when talking about being fully exposed, trying to calm it down by saying "ok, enough, it’s sausage time", was probably not the best idea😂😂 Absolutely fascinating about all those islands! What an awesome place that must be to go. I know pretty much nothing about Huron, but now I know a little more. Pretty sketchy at one point with those waves. I’ve been out in that a couple times, long ago, with much less skill than you guys, and it was pretty worrying. You haven’t popped up on my feed for quite a while. I’ll have to fix that.
We were heading south from Point Grondine Park at the exact same time you guys were here. Our canoe almost flipped over at one point and we had to stay at Alex Island till the storm stopped. We specifically remember that one random lightning strike :). The next day was absolutely gorgeous in that area. Thanks for the video great work!
Always wanted to this: canoe from island to island getting lost in the reeds, eating wild rice….Though, I Imagined it further south in the Boundary Waters. I got my inspiration (this & flat-rafting down the Green River) from places like Gorp back when the internet was new & magainzes. Alas, a rotator cuff injury & chronic tendonitis denied me. I still have 2 brand new canoes in my garage.
We are sorry to hear that you haven’t been able to get out there and do what you wanted to do. Hopefully one day you’ll be able to put those canoes use in the backcountry. Appreciate the comment very much.
I was really suffering from Keenan, Ashley, Betty Lou and Hugo withdrawals so, I was super happy and excited to see this video in my notifications tonight. I have slight/moderate hearing impairment (my ex wife said I had a listening impairment but what did she know 😆) and I really had trouble understanding what you were saying for the first 7-8 minutes even with the volume up loud enough for my neighbors to enjoy the video. I’m really looking forward to watching all of this trip.
Hahah Nice to hear from you again Alan. Thanks so much for the comment and feedback. I think I maybe screwed up while recording the audio for that section of video. Hopefully part 2 has better audio levels.
Keenan, the wiesel thingy you say was the largest member of the Wiesel family and is called a Fisher. Stay clear of them they are like a mini badger extremely territorial and vicious!
I enjoyed the edit. Fantastic video. I watched one of Xanders videos about this place and I was amazed that such a place existed, and I never heard of it. But I suppose that is why I started doing this. I have added this place to the list of places I want to visit as soon as possible. A must see. Would you be able to offer any help with a map source for planning? I have searched for a solid few hours and have not come across a good one. I am located in the Northeast US
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed the video. This place is just awesome. Can get a little bit busy on weekends mid summer but it’s one of our favourite places to paddle. Chrismar makes a Phillip Edward island map I believe. Also unlostify make a French river map that coves most of the area i believe. Hope that helps and hope you get the chance to go there soon!
@@CanoeTheNorth It does help! I actually came across the Unlostify map shortly after I dropped a comment. I ordered the paper version. Cant wait to get it!
I have sailed Lake Huron extensively. The figure I remember is 50,000 islands,, but with a 6+ foot draft (keel) there are another 50,000 islands just below the surface where you cannot see them. Navigation on the north shores of Georgian Bay can be a nightmare. It requires excellent GPS, map, and course setting skills. It is rather upsetting to be cruising along in 200 feet of water, looking over the side. and seeing rocks right there. Uh,, you are not quite where you thought you were. Also. Some of the toughest,, fastest changing wind conditions I have ever faced. One moment sailing gently on a beam reach,, and 5 seconds later knocked down and trying to let sheets fly and claw down sails. (With the 10 year old at the helm while you scramble and work the fore-deck at a 45 degree angle.)
I finally found the video telling me what the world's 4th largest lake is. As between talking and music, silence is good. Not a fan of the vocal music. Used in Yukon videos a couple times. It is annoying here to me... too loud..... whole different mood. Hey, you asked. I really liked the video but much prefer the longer ones.
Amen.
Awesome experience,more than anything love your humor guys!
Thank you! 😂 we like to have fun together

Breathtaking scenery
It’s a beautiful area for sure. One of our favourite places to explore.
I think I am going to enjoy this series a ton. Well done once again. Intro is fantastic!
Thank you very much David. Appreciate the feedback and support.
I started following Jim Baird, then Jon this summer, Xander in the Fall and now you this Winter. Thank you for the great videos! Great editing job and the cinematography.
Appreciate that very much. Glad you’ve found our channel. Jim, Xander and Jon all do some very cool stuff as well! Happy new year to you.

Sounds like a great time to me! Maybe you’ll get back in the water sometime soon.
Wowzer that is some nice cinematic work!

Hey Larry. Always appreciate your comments. Glad you like the music selection. I think I prefer a bit more music as well. 🍻
We kayak camped on Philip Edward Island in July by the Fox Islands. It’s hard to believe such a beautiful place exists. Betty Lou & Hugo are definitely loving life 😊
It’s such an amazing place to paddle isn’t it. I agree with you as well about Hugo and Betty Lou. Seems like a good life to me! Thanks Derek.

Hello Roman. Thank you so much for the nice comment. Appreciate it very much. 🇨🇿 🇨🇦
Great video.You did an excellent job of capturing just how rough the waters can get. And yes sometimes those thunder/strikes can be a little too close for comfort. Looking forward to Part 2.
Appreciate it Doug. That lightning strike was way to close for my liking.
At 24:05 I thought you inserted a famous painting! Thanks for bringing us along!!!

Thanks Bruce. 🙏. Hope to have a few more videos out soon.
Another great video. Absolutely stunning scenery, thank you for taking us along with you.
Thank you very much Lewis. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the video. It’s such a beautiful place to paddle and explore.
So Peaceful Beautiful 👍🏾👍🏾
Awesome. Thank you.
You two are brave tackling the big water. Great video and looking to all your summer tripping. CHEERS!!!
Appreciate that very much Ian. Lots more to come.
Georgian Bay is definitely on my bucket list, spectacular area! Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip! :) :)
You’ll have to get the more Jacqueline. It’s such a beautiful place.

Wow, that thunder bolt made me jump! Thank you for sharing another wonderful adventure.
It made me jump as well. I was a little shaken after that lightning strike. Appreciate the comment very much.
Loved it!!!
Thank you Jim.
Loved it.
Thank you Doug.
Awesome video! Haven't paddled Georgian Bay yet but looks amazing.
Thank you. You’ll have to make it over there at some point. What a nice place to paddle.
Outstanding intro!
Thanks Max. Looking forward to your latest winter trip. Looks like a pretty awesome tour. 🥶

Thank you very much Ashley. Hope you have some awesome outdoor adventures (and smaller waves 😂).
Little advice. When the mrs is being a little naughty when talking about being fully exposed, trying to calm it down by saying "ok, enough, it’s sausage time", was probably not the best idea😂😂

You haven’t popped up on my feed for quite a while. I’ll have to fix that.
Hahahah 😂. Love this comment Jim. I think your right……sausage time maybe wasn’t the best choice of words!!!
@@CanoeTheNorth Nope, probably not. 😀😀
Outstanding video quality, so enjoyed. You both rock..
Thank you very much as always Jim.
Gotta check that place out sometime. Fish looked real good 😎👍🏻
Amazing place to explore. Thanks so much.
Looking forward to the rest of this adventure. I too much prefer storms during the day 🙂 I’m also liking this format.
Thank you Lucie. Glad to hear you enjoyed this format.
We were heading south from Point Grondine Park at the exact same time you guys were here. Our canoe almost flipped over at one point and we had to stay at Alex Island till the storm stopped. We specifically remember that one random lightning strike :). The next day was absolutely gorgeous in that area. Thanks for the video great work!
That’s to funny that you were there at the same time. Glad you didn’t flip and made it back ok. What a place to paddle though! Amazing.
Always wanted to this: canoe from island to island getting lost in the reeds, eating wild rice….Though, I Imagined it further south in the Boundary Waters.

I just love your fish fries. It looks sooo delicous. 😁😂😋
Thank you 😋
👋👋👋 Best Friday night ever on Adventure with you both❤️❤️❤️
Thank you KC 🙏
Looking forward to the next episode. 3 jumbo hot dogs each, very impressive?
Hahahahaha 🌭 🌭 🌭

Some rough water and worrying lightening strikes . A tough trip for sure .
Thank you Alex. Ya it was a tough day on the water that’s for sure.
Keenan, the wiesel thingy you say was the largest member of the Wiesel family and is called a Fisher. Stay clear of them they are like a mini badger extremely territorial and vicious!
We’ll have to keep that in mind next time we run into one! Cool to see though. 🛶

I can imagine it would be a difficult lake to sail on with all of the rocks just below the surface. Absolutely beautiful though.
👍👍❤❤
How old is Betty Lou?
She’s 7 now. 🐶
i would like sausage on a bun please! new sub, nice channel
Thanks very much. Glad you found the channel.
Boy that water looks choppy
It certainly was choppy out there at times. 🌊
