Je suis allé sur la rivière Nahanni Sud cette année. C'est d'autant plus amusant de voir un film de 1961 (avant ma naissance), donc 63 ans plus tard, qui est vraiment très bien fait. Le paysage n'a pas changé, mais l'équipement, lui, a changé. Mon modeste film se trouve sur ma chaîne. Mais on peut déjà trouver quelque chose de la porte et des chutes de Virginie ainsi que des aurores boréales. Merci beaucoup pour ce super film historique !!! Salutations Udo
The guy was 73 and this was his 7th attempt , I believe, and so he had lugged all his gear above the falls before. He certainly explained the many disappearances of others more rationally then the "rumour" stories. Even the Rosses said nature, bad luck and poor preparation was why so many came and never returned. I now wonder though, was this the first time he built a boat above the falls? I would think a boat could be protected for the next years use if left behind ? Maybe he used to portage a canoe up and back? Ethel and Mel Ross did that with an aluminum canoe. An excellent watch!
This is the life for me

• It's possible he built a new boat for the purposes of the movie so people can see what that kind of work is all about.
