    Hey folks thanks for waiting around during the delay. I appreciate all your support.
    This episode take us up to the halfway point of our 700km journey. It was a tough one for me to edit and you will find out why. You'll probably have unanswered question's and concerns. It's a difficult life out there and every reward comes with a fight. I have written a book that will go further in depth on what happened in this episode, the others and what was never filmed. It will be released this summer along with Saku's own children's book. I will make copies available to you all when possible.
    As for the rest of the series there should be three more episodes out over the next three weeks. I'll keep you posted here and on my social channels. My aim is to upload Episode #6 this Sunday.
    Thanks for watchin.

      Scary stuff, Saku must b a good swimmer to of got out of that. Did you replace any of your missing gear, I'm not sure I'd have felt safe to of carried on without a shotgun or at least something else to scare bears off?

      wow, hooly dooly , what an episode to come back too, hey! Man, i would have have been just as torn up about saku as you were, but thankfully him and you were ok. It really goes to show how risky plans can be and how they can change in a split second.
      Hopefully there aren't any more "events" like that in future episodes!
      In hindsight, would you get a life vest for saku for other canoe trips in rapids? Or just not do them with him? lol
      Another great video, can't wait for the next one. Cheers mate

      @@hoightb Hey man thanks for watching. The jacket is a touchy subject in white water for both man and dog. The issue is the hydraulics of the river. The are a recirculating currents in holes as you may know. If I get caught in one I need to remove the jacket to get propelled out. If Saku had gotten caught the buoyancy of the jacket would likely have pinned him in there because he could not remove it himself. Rescue would have been near impossible eventually drowning him by intake of water. The best bet was for me not to run it at all, but after hammering the first two I felt unstoppable. Lesson learned for me and hopefully many others

    Ugh the Newfound Marsh. In '97 I was a Katima-victim who helped cut a good portion of the East Coast Trail. I remember going out to scout and flag with a group of 5 of us. Trudging back to the car, I was last in line (and likely the heaviest) when I suddenly found myself waist deep in what had been, for the previous 4 people, solid ground. The wind and rain in this video brought back some pretty vivid and physical memories. One day I'll get back there.

    Holy cow brother. That scene was the most emotionally intense moments I've seen in a while. My heart sank and my stomach dropped. I was terrified for Saku even though I've seen your uploads since and knew the outcome. I can only imagine how hard you were shaking during those 20 intense minutes. Sorry, I don't mean to make you re-live it. Just wow. I'm glad it worked out man. Keep up the awesome adventures!

    A big accomplishment doesn't come easy or we would all be doing it. Risks are taken but we never want them to pan out. That was one daring white water and you paid a small ransom but got back quite the experience having been ejected from your voyage and that's what adventure is all about. How you manage to do it all yourself and still lay down an excellent video is beyond me. This series is the greatest . So glad you took the challenge.

    Wow that was something! This 54 yr old man isn’t ashamed to admit that I choked up a bit when you were crying out for Saku. Thank God you’re both ok 👍 Take care and God bless ✌️

    Bro, that was intense man! I was worried Saku was gone, so glad you found him. What a journey

    The fact that you recovered most of your gear , and had the willpower to carry on without hitting that sos button on your inreach amazes me. Glad you and saku lived to share this awesome adventure . By far my favorite thing to watch on the tube. Except maybe my Leafs beating your Habs.

    Brother Justin !! What a great episode. What a true blessing that you and Saku made it out with your lives. My wife and I enjoyed your attitude, the way you pressed on. Even with the loss of a gun and charging equipment. The true gift is you still have your faithful companion.

    OMG! I was on the edge of my seat and actually had to skip ahead in the video to see if Saku was there before I could watch the rest. Glad you both made it though ok, good thing it was on the last leg of your trip! Congrats to you and Saku on your books! Thanks for sharing!

    This episode was worth the wait Justin, so glad you and Saku are safe. I've got furry children myself and I know exactly how you must have felt during those moments, I'm sure those 20 minutes felt like 20 hours and when you finally spotted old Sak you must have been overwhelmed with emotion.
    I did a river trip with a friend last spring in a canoe, lots of snow melt here in Alberta made for some fairly intense rapids. Same thing happened to us, we were smashing the lines and feeling quite confident... All too quickly we dove into a section and got bounced off a large boulder and turned sideways against the next one, the strong current grabbed hold of our sideways canoe and rolled us over in a second. Lucky it didn't fold the boat in half!
    Can't wait for the next episode!

  • @cybersincere

    I’ve done my fair share of adventuring, survived a couple near-deaths (hypothermia, ran out of water, drowning), so I know how that moment feels. Good on you for keeping it raw and in the story, sharing the grit; we all learn from watching it.

    Wow, crazy episode bud. Kudos to you and Sak. I'm surprised u got him back in the raft at all. lol. I can only imagine Heathers thoughts when you told and showed her the video.

  • @labsarebest
    @labsarebest 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another one for the books. You put off as good a show as anything I've seen on discovery or national geographic. I'm happy both you and your buddy got out of the rapids alright. You must have felt awful lost and hopeless for the 20 minutes or so while you were looking for saku. No trouble to hear the panic in your voice. Thanks for the raw emotional experience. Great episode.

    That was definitely very hard to watch - I’m glad you kept your head on and handled it so well. You are a great team! Thanks as always for the video, and can’t wait for the next. Give Saku a pet for me 👌🏼

    WOW....just WOW. Worth the wait. Best episode so far. Love your philosophy on making mistakes. We wouldnt have come so far as humans (some may say too far) if it wasnt for trial and error. Kudos to you and Saku.
