- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- Experience six days on Montana's Marias River by canoe, paddling 80 miles from Tiber Dam downstream to Loma, exiting before the Marias merges with the Missouri River. We are five guys with three canoes, including the maiden voyage of Belladonna Beaver ("Bella") the Douglas fir dugout canoe.

Loved this video and the video of you guys creating this canoe. Montana is such a beautiful state however I've never been to that part of Montana but definitely would love to do that journey down that stretch of river like you guys did. Thank you so much for sharing and excellent choice in music also it kept me attuned with excitement the entire time.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Here is a look at our five-month voyage down the Missouri River: th-cam.com/video/5DyznyKp0Cc/w-d-xo.html
That thing is a beast! It's loaded down with gear and two men and it's still sitting high above the water and looks very, very stable. Beautiful canoe!

Bella reminds me of a great friend! What a beautiful maiden cruise! Very inspirational, thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸✅🤠🌵

Great to see and hear you made a complete descent of the Missouri river and arrived at the Arch in St. Louis on Nov 4th, 2019! 2400-miles down the Mo....great trip and loved the photos.
Thanks Norm! I have some video clips from the Missouri trip, though it will take some editing to make anything of them!
wow beautiful prawns, nice trip

Absolutely fantastic! I wish this trip was shown as a series of videos as opposed to one video. I would have loved to see much more detail so that I can use it to plan a similar outing. Thank you so much

Love the fact you used an Aussie song in the beginning 🇦🇺💖
Oh cool. The Shores of Botany Bay. Nice.
nice work guys
Thanks Nick! We later did five months on the Missouri River. Take a look: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
Great video

That's just awesome!! Congratulations...God blessed you guys with a great gift to be able to do that!! Y'all are very lucky. I know you will enjoy that very much!!!!
Very well done....really enjoyed it! Four of us old bucks are doing the same float this coming September. Bella really is a beauty, Thanks for sharing.
Montana to St. Louis? Cool
Хорошее путешествие. И деревянное каноэ хорошо держится на воде, устойчевое, не кувыркается.
Спасибо Вадим! Вот история нашего пятимесячного путешествия на каноэ по реке Миссури: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
6:10 all I can see is papyrus... why...
But that dugout canoe is a titan! Beautiful craft guys!
The font? Yeah, not advertising anything, it was just there. Glad you enjoyed the video. Check out the latest: th-cam.com/video/STXtKPmxVcA/w-d-xo.html
@@thomasjelpel Oh great, I'll have a watch rn! Cheers mate!
Haha, about papyrus, that snl sketch formulates it better than I would: th-cam.com/video/jVhlJNJopOQ/w-d-xo.html
@@DebrisDiver - Ah, okay, funny! I've been font-shamed before for using Comic Sans. I guess I'll have to watch out for Papyrus now too, ha!
watched the build of meldona and the "cruise" down the river ,Great job .

Most ppl that are woodsmen at heart dont care about those no trespassing signs lol. great video.
Superb, from the bare log to the maiden voyage I was just 100% with you all. Thank you so much for sharing, I really enjoyed the experience. Best wishes from the Isle of Mull, Scotland.

Hello so good luck

Лодка отлично держит баланс на воде.Природный ланшафт и берега во многих местах походят на наши сунженские леса и реку в Чечне. Ваша бережное отношение и любовь к природе очевидна и достойна внимания. Спасибо вам огромное, как буд-то сам, с вами совершил путешествие по этим прекрасным местам.
Спасибо, Бек! Вам также может понравиться это видео о каноэ, которое я снял в Швеции: th-cam.com/video/Z69cUz0l7lY/w-d-xo.html
Молодцы, интересный сплав получился ) всех благ .
Спасибо! В прошлом году нам понадобилось пять месяцев, чтобы переплыть всю реку Миссури. Вот история: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
@@thomasjelpel Великолепно , позже обязательно посмотрю , подпишусь на ваш канал . Удивительные места посмотрел благодаря вам , у нас тоже много классных мест в Сибири на Алтае природа очень красивая .
Awesome :-)
Thanks Annie, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! You can read about our five-month expedition down the Missouri River here: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
Those trail/cowboy beans look scrumptious,,,I am in Saudi Arabia working and I miss food like that🤧
So glad to see you did an additional video to the last one, this story has motivated me to do somthing similar when I get home with a couple months vacation coming.
Did you work on it daily or was it a weekend thing , and that's why it took you 3 months?
The rough-shaping went very quickly. The process went slower and slower the closer we got to the end, plus we were teaching kids camps in the middle of all that: th-cam.com/video/5bfJC6qog7Q/w-d-xo.html
I've been waiting for this video. It seems much more stable and less "truckish" than I anticipated, though watching you launch it, a portage is a non-starter. I imagine grounding it on a shoal could be problematic as well. Overall a very interesting project and great maiden voyage. Well done.
Magical thank-you for sharing
I'm glad you enjoyed the video Pamela. Here is another canoe adventure here in Montana: th-cam.com/video/oMm0sgRCNwo/w-d-xo.html
Bella is a beautiful dugout but it must be a bear to portage, lol. Great trip!
Muy lindo👏👏👏👏👏

Aqui no Brasil os índios faziam esse tipo de canoa a muitos anos atrás com ferramentas rudimentares, um abraço.
Obrigada pelo abraço. Que bom que você gostou do vídeo! Aqui está uma olhada em nossa jornada de cinco meses rio abaixo: th-cam.com/video/5DyznyKp0Cc/w-d-xo.html
Amazing, I wish to do that in my old age.

Wonderful
That eagle left food for you guyz
I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Take a look at the book about our five-month canoe trip down the Missouri River: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
What a wonderful it must have been for Lewis and Clark to explore new territory.
I really enjoyed watching you guys on that adventure. This is the way one sould experience the beauty of nature. Just be out there, not destroying nature like thousands of tourists doing it by rushing to that one point of interest by car, trampling down everything and leaving loads of trash behind. I wish we would have such beautiful rivers down here were I live, where you can go for days and weeks without having any dam or other building blocking your way. Our rivers are blocked by dams every few kilometers, which makes it impossible to really travel far by boat and also there are almost no fish in there anymore, because they are also unable to travel along the river. Keep on going and let us be part of your adventures, greetings from germany
One question, where is the water at 15:00 coming from? Is it normal that some water seeps through the wood in that kind of canoes? Or is it coming from some rain?
The water in the canoe was from a passing rainstorm. :) Here is another one of our canoe adventures in Montana: th-cam.com/video/oMm0sgRCNwo/w-d-xo.html
Here's hoping you record and share the Missouri River experience!
I wish I could find friends who'd like to do something like this.. I'm truly jealous.
I often invite former students from our Green University program to join us. Here is a video of our carp hunting adventure: th-cam.com/video/ezNltn3AT5I/w-d-xo.html
ask your friends, you might be surprised (as I've been)
ordered your book! Is there a guide to the Marias River anywhere?
Thanks so much for the book order Dave! Details for paddling the Marias River are covered in the book Paddling Montana: www.amazon.com/Paddling-Montana-Guide-States-Rivers/dp/1493005995/hopspressbooksto
I'm an experienced canoeist in Minnesota, but I've never paddled a dugout. How does it "ride" compared to the store-bought varieties?
It's like driving a truck compared to driving a car, not quite as sporty, but it has more mass. The flat-bottomed dugout canoe is substantially more stable than modern plastic canoes.
Thats a damn hearty looking stew you fix, there, Thomas! Got a recipe video for it?
That was a good stew. One of our paddlers cooked that up for dinner, mostly canned goods as I recall. Here is the book about our five-month trip down the Missouri River paddling the dugout canoe: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
You all are amazing. Beautiful canoe. Have you taken your 2400 mile trip down the Missouri river?
Yes, we paddled from Three Forks, Montana to St. Louis Missouri, starting June 1 and ending November 3, 2019. Here is a link to the book: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
Im Scandanavian!
I’m not!
Well done guys. I came from the build video. Not a camping outdoorsy type, but somehow you may have sparked a new life interest!
Did Bella sail much differently in reverse?
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! We sometimes floated downriver in reverse. It's not too much different.

Nice!

Thomas, I see that this was posted Jul 4, 2018, but when did you actually float and film this?
June 23 - 29. :)
Thats awesome

Tell me please as the song is called, at the end of video!?
It is "The Good Ship Ragamuffin" played at the beginning and end of the video. Here is another version of the same song: th-cam.com/video/Cx32LoVSYtE/w-d-xo.html
The Blaggards do a great version... 'Botany Bay'.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm glad you enjoyed the adventure! Here is another one: th-cam.com/video/oMm0sgRCNwo/w-d-xo.html
I would guess 350 to 450 lbs --hard portage.
Did she leak at all? Beautiful Bella!
Can l ask what month you will paddle the Massouri?
We paddled for five months, from June 1 to November 3, 2019. Here is a link to the book: www.hopspress.com/Books/Missouri_River.htm
Спасибо за ссылку на 2 часть - сейчас смотрю и мне очень нравится!
Thanks for the link to part 2 - now I'm looking. I live in Perm. It is located on the banks of the Kama River.
I composed, sang, played and recorded a song about this river:

COULD U PLEASE SELL ME THIS BOAT
Sure... $20K and it's all yours. :)

Just don’t get why an Aussie song was paired with this video. The canoe perfect......

I am a poor man. By no means a millionaire or a billionaire. I own three measly Acres free and clear in the woods. No one is allowed to just come and camp on my property. No one has a right to that. I have the right to my property. I earned it. It's mine. Other than that, nice video.
