[@melarch.5424]

Don't sell yourself short, man! I'm 76 and did 3 trips last year each for 3 days with portages between 100m and 650m, soloing. Nothing this year yet because I went to South America to the Amazon and Galapagos Islands.

[@Drewcrown1998]

Back in the 80’s I went to Northland college (Ashland, wisco) and canoed Lake Superior. Later worked in a Wisconsin boys camp and we canoed up in Canada. I bicycled most of the United States and a little in Canada. That seems like a long time ago. All that said….Now I am permanently disabled and I can’t even walk out of my house without crippling pain. So watching your videos which bring back great memories. Those memories are some of the best I ever had. Now you guys get to do it and I am just along for the ride. Love it!

[@LostLakes]

I feel for you my friend...glad you can come along with us!

[@Drewcrown1998]

@@LostLakes thanks! Btw, it’s been 30+ years since I have been canoeing probably pretty close to where you guys are in this video. I was a canoe tripper for a group of 14 year olds. 90 miles north of Upsula. Half through the trip the boys and I were hiking and found an old Sesna plane that crashed. I remember it was yellow and white. It crash probably in the 70’s. Have you ever seen anything like that?

What a great way to spend an evening: watching another wonderfully produced outdoor experience. What a great place. You two are a great team. You make a wonderful (wilderness) couple. If ever it doesn't work out with Erin .... just saying ! When you explained the wonderful smells on the portage, the pines, labrador tea, etc., I can just imagine. The only thing missing was the disclaimer. "unless you're following closely behind Xander". That was a wonderful paddling demonstration by Xander at around 16:00 minutes - made me think, "Bill Mason ... on acid." Thanks boys ... until the next time.

[@benjibones]

Jon, I love the way you don't glamorize your trips, while at the same time, you don't sensationalize any hardships. The hard bits look really frigging hard, no doubt, but you don't play it up for the drama: you just make sure that we experience the hardship with you. At the same time you don't downplay it either to make everything look easy. I just came off (what was for me) a tough trip. This video made me think "yeah, this is a thing that can happen to anyone." Thanks for another great and inspiring video.

Order and chaos. You and Xander. That's exactly why it works between the both of you. In a way you hate that other different personality, but at the same time you love and respect it because it's so different and so much to learn from. That's what good friendship is all about: accept and live with someone that has such a different mindset. I love seeing videos with you two, because it's such a nice symbiosis of your different characters.
