    It's over!!! Thanks so much to all of you that followed this huge 11 week series! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did editing this beast. Between the series, the documentary, and a couple trailers, it was the biggest project I've tackled to date, and there were days I wondered if this marathon would ever end. But alas it is finally over, and I really appreciate all the love and support along the way. Your comments especially were heartwarming, as they provided timely incentive and encouragement to continue the efforts to the bitter end, and I can't thank you enough for taking this journey with me. 🙏

      Really fantastic stuff, David! A very enjoyable series, and what appears to be something of a stepping-stone for your channel. You deserve every ‘like’ you receive, and the accolades that may follow. Looking forward to your future endeavours and documentaries. Well done!

    Just finished this series once again, I always get melancholy at the end of my own trips, as much as watching these trips again and again. I hope you are doing well and at peace wherever you are

    Thank you so much. I'm in my 70s now and my wild river paddling days are behind me. My paddling partner and I had intended to run this river in the late 1980's but life seemed to get in thr way and thwart our plans. While it was sad to see so much of the river tamed by dams, it was still a grest pleasure to follow your adventure and to get to see, though vicariously, that thre is still unspoiled beauty awaiting adventurous souls.

    That was a fantastic series! I loved watching each of the episodes. Now, I am anxious to hear Ben's "story" of Lake Superior!
    I have been on Superior only twice. Each adventure was fantastic but safe! I have a great respect for Superior. It's so damn cold!!!!!
    Thanks David & Ben for sharing your "Forgotten River" trip with us.

    Looks like a wonderful trip David. We can certainly relate to some of your experiences. Me and Ashley had a good laugh at the washroom scene! Glad you adjusted to civilized life. You really do a great job at portraying your trips. Thanks for the cool video. We also watched the trailer for your next series and it looks great as well. Awesome work as always.

    Wish the series was longer! haha! It is a good night when I hear tpp intro music and do a little jig in my chair! I hear you about not being a fan of "all good things must come to an end", especially when it is a wilderness trip. Love the post trip meals! I can remember when four of us came off a brutal five day backpacking trip years ago. When we hit the restaurant the waitress couldn't believe what we ordered and what we packed away, it was disturbing really but oh so yummy! haha! Looking forward to your next adventure, thanks so much for sharing! :) :)

It means a lot to me. 🙏🙏🙏 Hahah, you bet! Post trip meals ESPECIALLY after a backpacking trip is the best. I feel you need every calorie! 😝 That incident must have been hilarious. See you next Tuesday, it's happening! 😉

      Thanks man. I recent 2 part series was released called Finding A Line, which we tackle rapids I had discovered on a previous trip. There is also one called The Petawawa. I wasn't paddling with Ben most of the time, but we did run some difficult rapids together.
