Love your work Adam big fan of your books. I am very jealous of this trip. Fantastic!

I appreciate no cringy background music and no video "effects." Just natural sounds and good clear video.

He is certainly a trooper..dealing with the blood sucking insects would have turned me back after 1 hour😅.. but how were you able to keep that camera fully charged?

Are there any large, dangerous wild animals in that type of forest? Any damage to your conoe when passing through the white water?

thankyou for showing the portages. I personally enjoy them the most, due to the raw nature off trail. Also, the log jams, I enjoy that you show these also.

This was well done, and now we wait with excitment for part 2.

Great to see this actual footage while reading the book. Was well done Thanks

Thanks for sharing...awesome!!

I'm so glad I found this channel. Thank You for sharing your adventures with the world. I'm planning a trip down the Cahaba River in Alabama this Spring. Fishing, canoeing and camping for about 3wks. This will be my first trip ever. Maybe we will run into each other on the water one day. Happy Floating and Safe Journey

That Is Insane

Hey Adam! First of all what an epic adventure! Just ordered your book! I'm curious about your bent shaft paddle, and how you sized it for use with your prospector. From what I gather most recommend it to be 4 inches shorter than your straight shaft paddle. Was this the case for you? And would you say it gave you any noticeable efficiency gains?

I couldn't survive that trip between im fat worthless and lazy and the bugs nope id definitely die

Great video Adam! Nothing compares with our great Canadian wilderness. Looking forward to part two..

That was good to watch. Is there a link to part 2 yet?

great video, beautiful territory.

Amazingly epic adventure ! Truly awesome and brought back a lot of memories of canoe trips in my youth. Very impressive. Soft spoken individual with more guts and gumption than 99% of the rest of us. Curious as to why you don’t utilize painters on your canoe but I’m no expert.

As a former expedition guide I am very impressed by your knowledge and skills, especially running those class 3 or so rabids with confidence. The only thing that really stood out to me as doing things the harder way was the lack of useing a short rope or my preferred method of lashing a carabiner to your pole and tieing a small loop of rope on the handle on the front of the canoe when traveling upstream. Bending over to reach the boats handle while wading and climbing over slippery wood and rocks kills my back, the pole attached to the loop lets me control the boat and push OR pull it around rocks without having climb over them. I was very impressed with your use of basam fir sap on the waders, I usually carry a hot glue stick and a fiberglass kit for the boat and gorrilla tape for hole that need time for fibergass to cure, it stays on for days as long as the boat is dry when applied. I have seen many boats keels broken going over logs especially when they are loaded, I cringed every time you went over a single log. I prefer waders with neoprene feet and felt soled wading boots, every boot foot wader I have ever used cracks eventually where the rubber meets the fabric. I learned a few tricks from your video so hey why not share a few? Well done sir, huge respect for you for undertaking such a difficult and remote trip. My longest solo was sea kayaking for 21 days, protien is much easier to find in this envioronment, but veggies are harder so I use the spruce and rosehips for vit C as you do, you are the only other person I have know that has actually eatten fresh water mussels...blech they taste like mud.

I just listened to the audiobook while on a cross Canada car trip. A truly incredible adventure. I hope there will be more video!

Amazing video. I just wish you would show more what youre eating while doing your trip

What's the name of the intro song?

Thanķs for sharing Adam you have brought back memories from my canoe trips in Manitoba and Ontario in the 1980s. So interesting to see the plants and animals. Love the moth and the moose. Blackfly are brutal but worth the price for time spent in the wilderness. Thanks again from the UK.

Do " IT " ! Keep doing " IT"! Keep pushing the envelope! No regrets. Colorado

So nice to watch someone doing what I used to do. I actually miss forcing a way through dense willows, swamps, pullovers, logjams, wind and current but what I don't miss are the mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, horseflies and the odd kamikaze hornet. Excellent video Adam, what you've shown is what Canada used to be known for, there are millions of Canadians now who would consider this a totally alien way of life.

One thing about strong winds... no bugs.

Bro you are an inspiring creature.. I say creature because its hard to believe you are human.

What a journey, this young man makes me think Jim Baird is lazy. Lol!

Crazy brother!

What an incredible journey. Scared a couple of times there. The Canadian bugs are nothing to sneeze at, they'll eat you alive for sure.

Well done. I fought a lot of bugs in La Verendrye Park in July. Kudos for your video! It motivates me to give it a try again but definitely later in the season (Sept).

Amazing..

Oh! I loved watching this.

Well done, thank you for sharing your adventure! A+

The bog/muskeg part was truly terrifying. No wonder you fell your balls must weigh as much as a tractor.

Amazing video, thank you for sharing. Its the type of trek I could only dream of. The parts where you were sinking in the marsh got me nervous. Many moments where it's obvious that no mistakes are allowed. The flies can get pretty bad where I am in the States (Great Lakes region) but they definitely seem to be even more of a nuisance up there.

I worked in the Canadian wilderness over five years from spring to autumn and I can’t imagine ever doing what he did for one simple reason… Mosquitoes… I remember being up by great bear and great slave lake, and one within the northwest territories, and it was absolutely insane… I think the most painful experience of my life and the reason was simply mosquitoes… Thousands upon thousands of them… The dark and the sky and we had to keep our skin totally covered. It was the safe we were wearing space suits and we were on a foreign planet… All we wanted to do was leave… His calm demeanour is astonishing to me

Man are you ever courageous ... Your no quitter that's for sure.

What a great adventure

You need to enter the iron man challenges. I am sitting in my recliner exhausted watching you.

Just read your book. Really enjoyed it.

man, that is some nasty bush !

maybe muskeg skis could be a thing ?

Adam I'd love to see a video where you detail what you're packing with you. I love the barrel packs, going to have to invest in one of those for my own canoe trips.

I don't do anything nearly as remote, long, or wild as this. The rivers in the Ozarks are much tamer and while in the Missouri portion of the Ozarks you can go days on a canoe and never see a soul, you're nonetheless never more than a dozen or two miles from some form of civilization. This is the sort of adventure I dream of going on one day, but I must admit the bugs give me the greatest pause.

I read your book “Alone Against the North” a few years ago and really enjoyed it! Keep going! Cheers from Powell River.

You talk nicely about your long adventure in the wilderness. Very fun to watch. It is, of course, heavy to pull the canoe, but it also gives a nice feeling to see that you can do it.

I will always be so impress by the speed a moose can swim. What a beast.

Wow man, amazing place, but couldn't stand the bugs. What makes up the bulk of your food?

How many calories a day😮😮😮

I use burning orange for bugs or smoke out my tent..😢😢😢

Absolute WOW😮
