It's crazy to think those rocks he used for stepping stones were probably never touched by anyone and are probably still exactly where he left them, first and last time touched in 1958. The world needs more good old souls like Ethel and Mel. He hit the jackpot in the wife department.

I see 3 ufo in Cold Lake AB. They were right above the city but way way way up there. Maybe 100,000 feet. I could see 3 of them playing with each others like cats would do. I had to squint with one eye but I seen it.

Watching this documentary makes me think colonizers should have stayed away they ruined so many lives...

❤awesome video❤

Having gone down the Nahanni in 1981, this was super interesting to watch. Just think to get some good advice from Abert Faille and meet the Turners. We did the 60 miles of 'the splits' in one long day, as it looked horrible for campsites and getting drinkable water. [Too much sediment after the Flat river comes in to the nahanni.].

At 17:56 they look just like two wolf tracks - front feet, not cat.... Cougar tracks have an M-shaped heel pad with two lobes at the top and three lobes at the base". Why did he think they were cat tracks?

That dam flute! Why???? Great video,but get rid of the GD flute!😅

This should be shown in every school...once a year. Get outdoors. Live....dont kill yourself for the $ there's no such thing as the golden years. Just heartbreak in the end.

Sports reporter Jim Matheson walking with Gretzky ...Matty still covers the Oilers to this day!

This was a very good vedio. Dispite the whistleing teeth . Lol😅

How old is this narrator. He sounds like the old guy on the Simpsons cartoon.

Thanks for the masqitto warning .

52:18 Ethel had the high ground!

this quality of the audio is insane

twenty six minutes in and Im enjoying this very much.

That is some marvelous engineering.

Those cave paintings interest me, one appeared to show a Mammoth. Does anyone know if they have been officially documented or are paintings of Mammoths common?

Absolutely awe inspiring to see these two together on an adventure of a lifetime that will remain a part of their memories together until they leave this mortal coil behind God bless the Ross family and their wonderful contribution to educate us decades later to what lies beyond our mundane lives of today’s politics and world division. I personally thank God that there were individuals like the Ross family may they find peace and happiness in the next life together as they did in this one. As I’ve watched this journey I wonder if our world could focus more towards the adventure of the vast unexplored world instead of the pursuit of the almighty dollar would we all live in a better world than what we have today. I think so but it’s up to each of you to follow your own hearts to wherever they may lead you. Thank you to the Ross Family and their incredible efforts to bring the beauty of the world to us in this modern age. Dr. Jamie Brown

Back in 1979, I used to roll around in the nude on my shag carpet while I listened to the intro song on my record player.

that sad part is the older the bridge gets the closer we are to seeing it come down the city is investing more and more every year just to slow the massive amounts of rust it will be a sad day when it closes for good

What a pair of total badasses

hes whistling alot...the narrator,,,,lol

I love this film 💚 what an incredible journey

Bring back Simpson Sears.

Are people sure this bridge will last a hundred years.

Wow I’m 42 years old and Iv always dreamed of getting to go do that I pray someday I will be able to back travel those same footsteps him and his wife did those were amazing sights but I am curious was that pure gold I mean when you can smash it into a rock like that that is the sign it’s gold the old miners use to bite it to see if it left a impression of there teeth so they knew it was soft enough and it was gold do so to flatten a piece down like that it has to be gold I’m just curious if it was it’s not like anybody can find that exact spot unless they stumble upon it but how amazing of a trip then to find that much gold if it was real that would have made you a rich man

I love all of this, but i also think they staged loosing the gold lol. Suddenly they stop making videos of the hiking parts???

Is this REAL?? Who could possibly listen to this bleating for an hour and a hslf?

I belive that is the Kingsway mall so they would of flown into the old city centre airport

Didn't know Swift made a ersatz Spam. 🤭

11:16 this looks like the outfall of the Groat Ravine creek before the road and bridge were built. and 14:23 they have moved up-river to the Mackenzie Ravine.

Definitely late 1940’s fashion and autos suggest 1940’s

Молодцы, не побоялись идти!

I love this Video its not hard to believe everything this man says the relationship between husband and wife is powerful

I was camped in a mineral exploration camp in 1979 on the banks of the South Nahanni River. It was completely unforgettable and life changing to spend the summer there. We were on a lake some called the Honeymoon Lake (although other lakes went by the same name). There was a cabin nearby. I believe the falls and hot springs were downstream, but the aircraft that took us in from Tungsten followed the Flat River for a time. The name of the mineral property was the Vulcan. The name we gave our camp was the Vulcan. The company was Rio Canex. If anyone reads who reads this was there or knows someone who was there, I would love to get in touch. Send me a reply.

There are many ideas that could improve the current CFL product locked up in these old tapes. The pace of the game and some players taking shifts on both sides of the ball make cardio fitness more important than physical strengths. You don’t have to be ridiculously tall and heavy to play. Normie Kwong was 5’ 7” and weighed 170 pounds. Defenders are tackling, not hitting, which mitigates the risk of head injuries. The game in that era, tellingly, is called “rugby football.” Coaches have limited input into play calling once the game has started. There’s no offensive coordinator on a speaker in the ear of the quarterback, and less specialization, more improvisation, enhances creativity. As big of a problem with the Chris Jones era with the Elks as the win-loss record was the dull style of play. If you’re going to lose, at least make the game fun to watch.

Wish i could back and tell them Raise the roof by 2 feet

what an absolutely beautiful story and adventure. RIP to both Melvin and Ethel Ross. i can only hope to emulate the everpersistant urge to further explore as you both once did.

my kokum at 6:42

Life is so short and so beautiful, we must explore and share for the sake of ourselves

He and his wife found the lost valley of gold. That was real gold he found. Myself was a prospector and can tell you, they found it.

So Gretzky does in one year in Jr what most do in three! Messier is on the other team (Cincinatti) as #27 at the end.

Love this thank you for sharing. God Bless you

kind of sad to think a lot of these buildings are now gone/ i'm only glad they kept the Canada packers smoke stack when they built the new ( ugly) bus garage

Said goodbye to my aunt, uncle , their three kids at the CPR station in 1959 .They were going back to England by steamer. Things weren't working out at the Swift's plant. Ultimately Australia's gain.

I still remember Carl Nichols giving the weekly drilling report commenting. The great importance the future development of the sands. Syncrude pilot plant was in infancy and plagued with technical stills. The eventual success of the industry has been a cornerstone of the Canadian economy for years. Canada manpower and national immigration programs have benefited greatly for years. I've seen and enjoyed watching Alberta's cities flourish because of this prosperity all my life. Carl should have a statue or something as a tribute.

Great job!

About 5 years before my time. The train stations, department stores , Famers market, Post Office were still up but street cars and old trolleys gone. Saw the coolest veterans parade in 1962. Even the WW1 vets were well represented. Lots of marchers.

Wow. A white man has mapped and charted the lands of the Upper Canadian landscape. Is that a Sin? Is that bad? Is that against Canadian law?
