The Famous Canadian Portage You Probably Never Heard Of (Gateway to the Arctic / EP 1)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.พ. 2023
- Gateway to the Arctic is a 6-part video series documenting the 2022 month-long expedition through Canada’s barren lands. The route is designed to explore the iconic landscapes of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut by attempting to travel over 800 km from the tree line of Great Slave Lake north to the Arctic Ocean.
We would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Akaitcho Dene and Inuit peoples whose ancestral lands we traveled through as part of this trip. We recognize that our own understanding and experience is limited, and that Indigenous peoples hold the knowledge and wisdom of their unique relationship with this land.

Four of us (two canoes) paddled the Thelon River from Whitefish Lake to Baker Lake in the 60's. A wild and beautiful trip. Now 90 this year with tons of memories. I envy you guys.
Bill thx for sharing your memory of that, my Dad flew float planes and ski plane's in the 50's through the 90's all over the western arctic there are some unsolved mysteries up north like Johnny Bourassa and others
One year ago i was very sick in hospital with Covid watching Flow to James Bay. I seriously know that you guys had a hand in my recovery and helping maintain my mental stability. Forever thanks. Been back on the water myself too since, so MANY MANY THANKS. Martin Booth. ❤️➕🥕🥕
Wow, that's great. It must be the Booth connection
@@NorthernScavenger Yes it must be, such an illustrious name.... I notice you are not using the famous waterproof trousers this trip... Keep paddling brothers! Martin Booth, London, England,
Heck yeah!!! The time has arrived!! Let the EPICNESS commence!!
Yes sir you got that right !
I’ve said it on your channel before, but it bears being said again: I have NO IDEA how your channel doesn’t have at least 1M-plus subscribers. The scope of the adventures you undertake, combined with the quality of the filmmaking/storytelling make for an extremely entertaining experience.
Hey, algorithm! Throw these guys a bone!
Yes. Couldn't have said it better.
Holy shit I know they are still a very much hidden gem u fortunately. Let’s help spread the word with friends and on reddit!
The ending song made the whole video for me, my dudes.
Fuck, I miss canoeing in Canada.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
in over 50 years of canoe and kayak trips I've paddled many places. But you guys know how to choose meaningful epic voyages, inject relatable history AND make me feel like I'm along there with you day by day, through bad weather and worse weather. So good! Keep up the good work. Your episodes stand out from the rest.
I’m all hunkered down lads. Let’s go on a classic, Canadian adventure!
FANTASTIC....Wednesday's just got awesome again....giddy up!
Been waiting for this!
I’ve been patiently waiting for this. Thanks for inspiring a generation of canoe lovers and trippers lads!
Here in Norway, many a young boy spent hours buried in Helge Ingstad's books from the areas around Great Slave Lake!
Amazing adventure guys!
I found this channel last year when it was linked from another popular Canadian adventure channel. Every time I watch videos on these channels the one thing that brings memories flooding back is the sound of mosquitos buzzing around the microphones....funny in a lot of ways but that one sound gets me almost teary eyed.
This summer will be my 32nd and 33rd trip into the wilderness of western Ontario. These are fishing trips and while we don't canoe when we were younger we portaged 12ft aluminum boats. We now take ourselves down an old logging road and out onto an island for a week. I have seen other humans twice in all these trips. I have shared memories with my spouse, in-laws, nephews, friends and, most importantly, three very special people who made over twenty trips together. Time has reduced our numbers by two but for the past six years the two of us take a trip alone. Why? Because in quiet times we can still hear the four of us laugh, curse, and sometimes even slapping those "dam skeets".
Thanks so very much for bringing back so many memories :-)
James you nailed it. The memories made on wilderness trips never fade. Cheers
This is how memories are made.
Looking forward...
Noah you are a walking encyclopedia. Well done buddy.
These films should have a like for every viewer! Amazing work and stories, excited to watch the series.
Bravo les gars …juste incroyable…wow
Whiskey brûlée! It’s great seeing the crew that you build every season Noah. Stoked for every episode. Cheers eh!
Would have loved to trek Canada and Alaska across right at the tree line.
Would have been such an interesting and amazing experience.
ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN👌👌👌
Welcome back boys! Keep doing what your doing, these videos inspire the masses to adventure and live life to the fullest.
"Pike Place' coffee on Pike's Portage....nice touch!
Good brew!
Awesome guys, great seeing a trip in my neck of the woods. Beauty fish!!
I haven't read or thought about artillery lake since i read about john hornby, just once many years ago. and suddenly there it is, looming in the offing. and then the shout out to hornby for good measure! i realize that the inuit traditions are much longer and deeper, and they have been acknowledged here, but for myself all i know is the more recent european history and it's nice to see those dots being connected.
🎉 been waiting a long time cheers!!
Welcome to the north. I've been fortunate working for and with whom they shared their land experiences ❤ Can't wait to see the following episodes.
Noah, great to see you and Alex on another wilderness trip. And this time, joined by two brothers, Graham (tree planter and musician) and Kyle (lawyer). While quite a mixture of backgrounds, all share the love of the outdoors and the need to explore. Thanks for sharing these adventures.
Bravo boys, bravo! 👏👏👏How you capture the feel and emotion of the trip along with the breathtaking scenery is outstanding! Can't wait for the next episode. Oh, and the song and guitar at the end was awesome!
Some great film making so cinematic at the start of each day
Wow that fish was huge! 😳
Can't wait for the next episode!
Wow, what a tremendous Ep 1. Noah's fish had some orca vibes when he brought it into the shallows.
EPIC EPIC EPIC - NO other way to describe this. True riches boys, these experiences will be yours FOREVER.
Thanks for taking us along. I would never be able to explore that part of Canada.
Always a pleasure watching y'all get up to some rad stuff.
You have no idea how much I have been waiting for this post. The Barrenlands are beautiful. The trout were huge. I’m so happy for you guys to be out together again in such incredible terrain. Looking forward to next. ❤
Speaking of Barrenlands have you watched the Canadian movie on Netflix called "Lost on the Barrens" I've watched it 4 times now its that good.
@@Doreana48501 Just searched - not there.
@Greg Soto Hey Greg. I just checked Netflix and your right it's now gone. But I checked and it's on TH-cam as is the sequence . Have a gander..it's there
The Barrenland Grizzly is large as well.
Woo woo!!
We had the same issue with fishing lures rising too high when we were paddling. Take 2 blades of a daredevil put them together and put the ring, hook stuff back on the blades. We used 5" daredevils.
Thank you for the very beautiful picture thanks you ❣️❣️🇹🇭
Four polite guys on an epic adventure, clean language (mostly--you can work on that!), courtesy and 'let's get it done' attitude. Very Canadian! Good job. I'm subscribed.
Have been looking forward to this and not disappointed. It’s going to be another amazing series.
Wow!!! Thanks Xander for the great suggestion to the this channel… Big new huge fan here!!! I absolutely love content like yours!!!! 😊
Great video I like it say best video ever I watch TH-cam videos for 10 years every day your video and Steve Perry videos are the best Steve talks about photography.
As someone who has worked on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake since 2008 I have heard many amazing stories from the Natives in Lutselk'e about Pike's Portage and Artillery Lake - there are some MASSIVE Lake trout in that lake!! Many famous and historical people have traversed that Portage and area - Helge Ingstad wrote an amazing account of his travels all throughout that area and his book "The Land of Feast and Famine" is a GREAT Read!! Love the video you put together!
Thanks for posting !
2:42 in and you arent on the ground yet. But i have to say…awesome!!! You boys got guts! I cant wait to see this!!!
The boys have finally dropped!
Great, great, great, very looking forward to the rest of the series.
Yahoo! The Scavengers are back!!!
So far so boys. Will watch again in the next day or so.
Spectacular lads as always. Scenery is absolutely stunning. Can’t wait to see more.😘
Whoa! I follow several others but this is a hidden gem. I’m looking forward to seeing this trip progress. Amazing scenery. Love this!
So many youtube videos I simply watch to enjoy seeing the content. These films produced by you guys are ones I actually feel like I'm being transported to the landscape. Much respect and gratitude for your efforts.
This is just the kind of adventure that is exciting, inspiring, interesting and just awesome. So happy I found this channel. Thank you for the informational tidbits along the way. Blessings
This was the best spent six hours in a long time. What an adventure. It makes my own trips in the nearby lakes here in Sweden seem small, but I guess we share the love of nature and adventure. Thank you!
Thanks for joining us on this one. You're right, we all share that love
Thanks for the added Geologist narrative Noah. Excellent series thank you.
Echoing a very similar sentiment...WELCOME BACK! Looking forward to sharing in this next epic adventure. Wish all well.
It is amazing how big the fish are in the north, how many there are, how big they are and how good they taste. Too bad about the bugs.
I just discovered this series and i'm on number two and it is amazing. You guys are way fun to travel with and I really appreciate the geologic information it is amazing. I know your journey's over but mine has just begun so excited. God bless you guys as you visit an amazing creation that not many see. Thanks for sharing
So happy for a new season! It always feels so great when you drop these at the end of a long cold winter. You are real inspirations to so many of us!
Great job Boys! Those lakers are crazy big. Cannot wait for the next installment.
I've missed you guys! Still reminiscing about Barrenlands
Once again you boys have created a video which is amazing both in content and your production skills. Best channel on TH-cam!!
great first episode. those lakers are unreal hey
The fishing was world class
Love the song at the end - very fitting 👍
Terrific. Waiting to see the next one. You guys are kinda nuts though. 😄 I saw the Labrador/Quebec trip and I think you are going to out do that. !!
Finally! Your like brothers that I havn't heard from in a long time. Much younger brothers. Love this.
Outstanding Ep.1 !! Love your expedition videos and my god, that 35 pound lake trout!!! Bravo!
I will be humming your tune all season as I slog through the forest with canoe overhead. Those lines spoke to my soul... "I portaged a lot. I don't want to do that any more. But that's a lie, because I'll keep doing it. Because that's how memories are made." - Great start to the series!
Been waiting for this all winter. So pumped it is finally here. Can't wait for the epic fishing moments.
Your adventures are so amazing...Thanks for taking us along
Holy Fishies!!
Woo hoo, great to see another series coming :-) I'm nearly prepped for an 1800km NWT trip this summer, just me and my senior dog. However I won't be starting with a portage haha, madmen!
Wow! Enjoy Tom, that will be an adventure
Great to see the “boys back on the portage trails “. We appreciate the learning your trips present to the viewers. Great stuff. Looking forward to the next episode.
LEGENDARY! Well done boys!
Yes!!!! Love the evolution of yr adventures with portage, canoeing, mosquitoes and sceneries from 1st episode to last!
Amazing first episode! Can't wait for next one!!
A great deal better portage route than in many of your previous adventures--the Anquinish or Labrador
Beautiful shots! Love it
Worth waiting for. Looking forward to the next installment.
Oh. my. God. This is fantastic. ❤ I am so grateful to be on another vicarious adventure with Northern Scavenger. Excellent filming, warm connections among kindred spirits, and those fish!!!
💚
You guys are a true inspiration. Love the Arctic, and i hits me how similar this region is to my home turf here in Scandinavia. I live in the northern parts and it feels like walking in my own area. Things that differ is the cliffs and that this area you are in has more water. But other than that, mosquitoes is just as bad.. ;) We even share this mythical creature Musk ox.. Also, i love that you pay tribute and respect to the Indigenous people that roam this land. You guys are awesome, thank you for sharing! As always!
I'm so stoked to watch this !
I literally just read about this trip in Canadian Geographic
Looking forward to seeing all of your videos . Travel safely !
Great to have you guys back. "The Boys are Back in the Boats again". Looking forward to the next episode.
Fantastic start to an epic adventure!! Very much looking forward to the rest of the series! Cheers boys 🍻
I was wondering what I was going to be watching on TH-cam today now I know … your epic journey! I’ve been living vicariously through several other channels on outdoor adventures in Canada. I’ve really enjoyed them and now I’ve found this channel. Thank you for sharing this awesome expedition with your colleagues.
You guys awesome such a beautiful adventure, and awesome fishing I can watch you guys more all the best and take care guys.
What a great video. Incredible fish. Looking forward to the rest of the trip. Cheers
Wow, tough trip. Looking forward to Part 2+...
So waiting for this !! Thank you for the adventure…

Been looking so forward to this Noah.
I can't believe you're at 40K plus subscribers.?? I started watching at about 8K. This was an awesome trip. Still wading through your last 5 hour epic trip! God speed!
Thanks a lot for your support over the years, Charles
All I have been waiting for guys guys. This is amazing .
Thanks guys, awesome camera work and cinematography, historical context from both a western and indigenous culture perspective, cool tunes and wicked scenery. Thanks for taking us along. High Five to the editing team. Looking forward to the next episodes.
Thanks, Mike
Been waiting a while for a nice trip video. Thanks for your hard working making and putting out the video.
All the comments expressed my concern feelings while joining you on another adventure
You guys are hardcore! Awesome adventures. I love the food cinematography, the ethereal music and your explanations especially about the hydrogeology from a real geologist! Very cool 😎
