- In this episode, join Oliver and I as we set out on a 6 day- 180 mile solo float trip on Michigan's Big Manistee River. This was a challenging, yet rewarding experience, as we traveled from the city of Grayling to Manistee, MI by canoe. Between camping, cooking, canoeing and fishing, this was an action packed adventure with beautiful scenery and wildlife along the way.
Thanks for watching and supporting this channel! I'm looking forward to a great summer filled with new adventures to share with you. I wish you the best on your endeavors!

The multiday camp and cooks like this are awesome Kyle. Keep up the awesome work.
I've been putting trips like this off for too many years. At almost 59 now, i have no excuses anymore. Time to start living! Thanks for sharing your trip and motivating!
Hope you have a great upcoming adventure!
The Manistee River is awesome!
@@davidlineberry622 I have property in mid Lake County that I'm planning on retirement on within the next 2-5 years. I plan on spending a lot of time on the river when that happens.
I have been doing trips for the past few years and I am 61. Do it while you still can. People get old and set in their ways and just want to stay home and watch TV.
How's the planning going?
Today was one of my lowest mental health day I have had in two years. Your enthusiasm and joy was the difference maker. You never know what sharing your adventures can do. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos.
I'm originally from Munising> I go back up north for a few weeks every fall, but now I live in Florida. I'm 80 and have been trying to get my wife to move back for 30 years. If you are an adventure-loving Michigander don't fall for the "Winters are too cold B.S" It's not a wise trade-off for 100-degree summers with 100% humidity and storms that blow your house away.
I love the Lake Superior surf fishing videos. I'm an avid fisherman and I don't recall anyone fishing from Superior's shore other than myself 40 years ago. Manistee is my second choice for a place to live and play in Michigan. That area is possibly the best place to raise a family and build a life in Michigan. I'd love to see a complete float of the Escanaba or the Tahquamenon rivers. They both traverse through some beautiful country and are excellent fishing. Your enthusiasm and practical bush knowledge are informative, infectious, and light-hearted, however; I can't watch your videos before meals. I tend to take your enthusiasm to the table. Thanks for the seat in the canoe and by the fireside.
I am from iron county (iron river) I left to Green Bay as soon as I could drive I found myself really missing everything home has to offer like the outdoors I packed all my stuff up 2 years ago and came back haven’t had a complaint yet!
My wife and I are both 33. We live just south of Grand Rapids. We have been looking at property in the U.P. to move to. I think it would be better to raise my girls up there, with a more modest lifestyle. Every time I go over the bridge, I don't want to come back.
@@billnapier1605 steer clear of Marquette county everywhere else is great !
Oliver's cameraman... the only guy on TH-cam who's got a better woohoo than NorthwWest Fishing Secrets' Lief.
As a Muskegon born Michigander whose spent over 60 years exploring the western side of Michigan, I can't tell how amazing it is to have discovered your TH-cam channel recently.
Boy do I have stories about this particular stretch of river.
Thanks man.
So excited to watch this! Your videos help take me back to growing up in northern Michigan. Thanks for what you do, Kyle!
What a blast! Love this guy's energy and enthusiasm. Can't fake that.
11:18,
Love your excitement and enthusiasm. All my fishing buddies do is complain and vent testosterone.
😂 oh do know what you mean!
Look forward to your videos every week.. great stuff.. I’m a northern Michigan native living in WV, PA for the last 15 years. Don’t get to get back much, so you’re adventures take me back to when I was your age.. good job man! Oliver is awesome!
6 day adventure on Manistee River amazing Kyle with Oliver so cool! Thanks for all that u do in making these videos!
Thanks for watching!
Kyle! It was so exciting you did this! I have fished from ccc to 131 for 45 plus years. I have been trying to purchase something in that stretch for many years, its tough. I can't believe I haven't run into you in Fife area. You do great work, keep it up, might hire you someday.
WOW that was such a awesome adventure love watching your videos there no pampering it's all the real deal keep them coming I'm always looking and waiting for them. Useing muscles you normally don't use I'll bet they were hurting.
Damn dude what a trip ! Glad to see they raised the bridge for you in Manistee !!! Super cool Kyle keep up the adventures.
The scenery at 38:10 seriously took my breath away. Amazing video🎉🎉
That was unreal. There probably aren’t too many people who can say they’ve done that trip! ❤
That dog lives a better life than a lot of humans I know....keep it up!!
28:55 thats an amazing quote. "The Bacon is so crispy, the coffee is hot, life is good:
Another awesome adventure, Kyle! You couldn't have made it without Oliver as your navigator.😊
Nice trip! I’ve started in the Grayling area and gone the opposite way on the Au Sable out to Lake Huron. You should do that next. It was a lot of fun!
You had to be sore as hell after that float.I know I would of beenGreat video as always.keep up the good work man.
Great video as always brother.....that's something I'd love to do!!!!!
This trip was so awesome I watched it twice in 2 weeks. I really like this style of video (on the river), you could do fewer miles and fish more for my liking. Actually, now I want to do part of this trip this coming fall as a cast and blast weekend.
Awesome video, Bro!! Keep up the epic work!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾👌🏾💪🏾
And Olly is a Champ!!
You know this but here it is. "the life you are now living is not a dress rehearsal for your next, so grab up all of the gusto you can as you only go around once". Your adventures prove this point. Keep paddling forward.
you are one of a kind man! Great job.
What an adventure you had! I watched the whole thing and am amazed not only with the adventure, but with the amount of planning you had to do to make this a reality. I'm glad your arm is better. I really love all of your videos, so just keep doing what brings you joy!
Wow❤❤ Such a lovely video. I really enjoyed watching it.😊
Every time you make me nuts you are leaving the life bud
Keep them coming 😂
I have so much respect for you and your life. You never disappoint and any adventure you are doing is my favorite. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome ! Drag a chain when you're fishing , it will slow you down and keep you in control
Fantastic -no-unbelievable journey. Here's to hoping every viewer recruits a friend or two to help blow up this video and the subscriber list!
I can't believe we got to do that with you! Thank you so much! Amazing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Anything you and Oliver attempt makes for an awesome adventure!!!❤

So enjoyed today’s video. Keep them coming
Wow! I’ve always wanted to do the same thing and you did it + Oliver! Thanks brotha! I hope to see you on the river some day!
This is truly inspirational and what life is all about. I hope to do this someday soon. Once my little one gets a bit older
It would be a killer father/son trip👊
Sweet video man! Kept my interest the whole way through. Hoping to do some trips like this next year.🤞
Let's Goooooo!!!! I don't think I could ever leave Michigan.
It sure is hard to beat👊
Howdy Michigander, new sub here

Omgeezy, all time favorite! Best TH-cam channel by a million plus miles
Great Adventure!! Good Job filming!!
Dude, your enthusiasm is electric. Another awesome video. Well done.
Wow what a trip enjoyed watching every minute of it.
Great video. I love the energy! River love! I just moved here. I'm going to make that river my home. 💙
Living in N.Ont, and heading over to Mich all the time I've always wondered about multi day paddle routes...I guess I always imagined all the waterfront would be built up on or private property. Great to see this stretch exists...cool adventure, nice brown!
Kyle,
Do you pack a gun in case you run into a Dogman? Loved the trip! Stay safe!
John McHatton
Michigander for life!! You should try the au sable River my man!!! Mio is where you start!!! No State (maybe Minnesota) has river's and fish like Michigan!! At 50 ive been around!! Semper fidelis to my brothers
What an amazing journey and a great video.
Thank you for the awesome video! Nothing Luke Northern Michigan, you captured everything perfectly. I have subscribed, and will enjoy the other videos! Oliver is a great friend to have on your journeys!
Love your enthusiasm through the whole trip!! I subscribed. Keep sharing your trips and adventures!! Stay safe!!
Great . Much enjoyed your documentary, your journey with your 4 legged buddy. I wish I was a younger man. Sure would like to try that. Liked your energy. Loved your and dog. Got a bit hungry watching you cook your meals. Well done young man.
I’ve just stumbled across this video; this is genuinely amazing content. Great drone shots, documented so well over the course of your trip! I love that you brought Oliver! Absolutely underrated channel man; fantastic stuff man, can tell you love it. God bless
Absolutely love the videos man, I used to sea kayak guide and one thing I've noticed in your paddling videos is your paddle is upside down a lot of the time! The "short" edge or the "curved" edge goes on bottom (in your case the edge with the notch), this will dramatically help with longevity and provide deeper/more powerful strokes. This could very well be the reason your forearm was hurting as asymmetrical paddles are designed to move through water a specific way. Keep up the great work!
Hey, I think your videos are awesome. I just wanted to say , And make sure you're aware. Some human food for your dog can really hurt their kidneys. The salt content in foods like Bacon, And especially jerky.
Such a nice adventure. Watched two of your travels this evening! A good trip would be the Stergeon River in the upper. Did a long stretch many years ago and was spectacular. Pike and smallmouth were plenty!
I'm from Grand rapids Michigan love canoeing the Manistee river and the muskegon. I've kayaked from Houghton lake Greensburg damn all the way to the muskegon three weeks of pure fun and adventure
Where was your last overnight camping spot at? Guessing around Blacksmith, but I'm gonna need a spot to camp in 4 weeks while I'm floating this river.
Doooooood. If you uh ever want some company on something like this. This is my dream. I have kids and a regular job though so I'd need to schedule it at work. Instant Sub when you said Michigan and Manistee. I've done the section from hodenpyl to the first bridge.
That feeling of knowing theres a lone mosquito in your room/tent waiting to feast on you as you sleep. Ahhh!
😅
13:51 I think I know that spot. Michigan used to maintain a series of campgrounds on the main rivers for paddlers. Most of them are abandoned now. It's a shame they don't promote paddling anymore. It's still OK to camp there, but there's no amenities like wells, fire rings, or outhouses. Downstream, there used to be a Federal campground. No more.
40:57 Probably trumpeter swans, an uncommon sight in Michigan, removed from the endangered species list just a year ago.
You're lucky if you didn't have any unwanted guests. When you do, you won't be camping anymore.
Subscriber on!!! Man, I love your personality and your content!! I'm hooked.
Ok I had time to watch more of the trip. Great Video! Loved that planer board, sorry you didn't catch on it that time. Excellent adventure and again great vid.
I'm a new sub and I'm thoroughly impressed. Love your enthusiasm and style. Son we gotta get you up off the ground.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us awesome video bro. You definitely got a new subscriber.
This was awesome man deathly something I would like to do on my bucket list for sure. Love to see more videos like this conquering the other rivers that run into Lake Michigan how about the Manistique?????
You should’ve looked for some raspberries or early blueberries put them down in your pan. Make a little sauce for your venison. We did it up north once oh my God is it good? You just squish it down a little bit and then we thicken the sauce a little bit oh my Lord, is it so good on the venison bro you must be like us. We pack an ass load of bacon when we do shit like this. You just can’t go wrong and it’s good to cook everything in.
Awesome video! I love the Manistee River, one of my favorites to fish. The portage at Tippy is rough. But, at least it doesn’t involve the stairs from hell 😂
Great video, just got my first kayak and really want to do one of these adventures! Thanks for sharing your experiences!
You ever want a U.P. trout trip. Look me up. Half this distance. More time to fish. Chance at the trifecta. 20+ browns n bows good brookies. bonus eyes and huge smallies.
Do you have your put-in point and stops mapped out? I'd like to take my Boy and his friends.
Great video. Good energy.
God Bless you and yours.
Now time to conquer the Manistee's sister river, the Au Sable. Lake Huron beckons!
Get an anchor system rigged up in order to drop when you hook a big fish. Will save you from losing some hogs and getting into some sticky situations while fighting them, esp. in faster water. I do a lot of similar fishing for trout and bass out of a yak and paddle board.
I just found your channel and subscribed! The energy is through the roof baby, Let’s go!
You should make a supplies video! Me and a buddy are checking out a few spots in the same area and have never done it! Would love to see what you bring a long! Love the video! Tight lines!
I love this video. I live outside of Grayling myself and just a week or two back. My friend asked me. Do you want to borrow a kayak? I asked her if she could pick me up in Manistee and she laughed at me. Thanks for the preview of things to come for me
I love watching that. You have such a amazing time on these rivers. Very informative. Love it keep it up.
I have been planning to do the entire Manistee for a few years now. I've done several large chunks at a time, but I would like to accomplish doing it all at once.
Use too camp on the banks of the Manistee river years ago before the state decided to block off the access areas. Also use to fish brookies on some of the streams up untill a few years ago when got into a argument with a city slicker on who owns the water. Prick fenced off the stream i fished for 20 years with my dad.
Love the video! I subscribed instantly you were definitely your bro. I’d love to go on some adventures with you someday !
The fly only sections don't mean that you have to use a fly rod. Drift a nymph on a cork on a spinning rod like when your swing for steelhead.
You ever want another bud to take these adventures with hit me up. I'm in north central Wisconsin and fish two rivers and back country as well
Ok, this guy is awesome. But, way too much bacon grease... love the video
Next time Stop at the little Gas station on M50 in Welliston for the best beef Jurky in Michgan!
Awesome channel, great videos. what an amazing trip! I love the Tippy Dam Pond, I did 2 trips there last year on my solar barrel boat camper.
Man, I am from Michigan and live in San Antonio, subscribed to you and these are incredible.
Great video. I love camping and I work time. Before summer is over, I will go camping.
This guy sounds like Chris from Family Guy when he gets excited! 😄
This is just a great and fun video my man i would love to go with you on one of these trips. I did an 80 mile trip from Grayling to Mio a few years ago
