10 days, 200km | Missinaibi River Backcountry Canoe Trip | Part 2 - Waterfalls & Whitewater

[@cheyenneblackfoot2935]

Such beauty, thank you for sharing. I loved it! 👌

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@swiftypaddler]

Lots of fun Eric! That practice/play at Wavy looked like a lot of fun & a good way to learn. 👏🏻

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Definitely lots of fun, Ron! Wavy Rapids was an eye-opener - it got me every time, but in looking back at the footage, I feel like I know where my faults were. Live & learn! I’m looking forward to getting back out in the water next summer and perfecting what I started this year 👊💥 Thanks for watching and I hope you’ll check out Part 3 when I get it out in the coming weeks. 😊

Can't wait to get in some practice this spring!@@GreybeardAdventures

[@GreybeardAdventures]

@@RileyOutside Agreed! 🤗

BAHAHAHAHAH I forgot Dan had a swim. Best part of the trip ;) Awesome story-telling, Eric. I will never forget how many darn FLIES there were at thunder falls!! I've never seen so many in my life.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Hahahaha, and I was the one who brought Dan on that swim! It was crazy how it went from clouds of mosquitoes and blackflies, to deer flies, to hordes of large harmless flies. I wonder if that's normal or the product of climate change? Thanks again for the kind words! :)

[@KhurshidsChannel]

wow!! fantastic scenery. Great job. Thank you for sharing.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching! Appreciate if you could share with friends to get word out about my channel 👍

[@Evan_Le5]

Great looking trip and drone shots Eric! I don’t think it’s a real paddle trip without a good swim or two🙌

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thanks Evan! I had way more than a swim or two 😂 but enjoyed every moment of the trip!

[@Evan_Le5]

@@GreybeardAdventures it really is the best kind of learning experience for whitewater! You’ll be dancing around at Palmer next time like it’s nothing🙌

[@GreybeardAdventures]

I sure hope so! :)

[@james_paige_wilderness]

Enjoyed this episode very much as well! Great views and well narrated!

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Much appreciated, James. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@thunderboxdiaries]

Looks like a great trip! It’s got me itching for some trip planning!

[@GreybeardAdventures]

I’m itching to start planning my next ones too. Thanks for watching!

[@carolannontario]

Like when I watched part 1, I enjoyed every minute of this video. So impressive, what you all have done on this adventure! The filming and narrating is excellent, and the drone video adds so much. Unbelievably beautiful! Looking forward to part 3!

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thank you so much Carolann, your comments are very much appreciated! ☺️

[@patriciawilson5950]

Love, love, love this video! I'm old and can barely make it to the bathroom now. The doctors say after hip replacement, I'll be out in the woods hiking again. Maybe I can talk my son into taking me on this canoe trip. But until then, I really appreciate you videos! Thank you!

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Patricia, I appreciate your support! I hope your hip replacement goes well and that you’re able to make it out onto the Missinaibi - it’s a beautiful river!

[@canoepoler]

Nice edit. Beautiful River! I am looking forward to the next instalments.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thank you so much! It’s an incredible river and I look forward to sharing Part 3 soon, and doing the lower section next summer. 😊

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Wow... I've really got to get this on my list of to do's... really soon

[@GreybeardAdventures]

It’s such an awesome river, loved paddling the upper portion this past summer and looking forward to doing to lower half next year. 👍 Worthy of being on your list for sure!

[@RileyOutside]

Come out to Palmer in the spring!! ;)

[@GreybeardAdventures]

@@RileyOutside Riley’s right, it’s a great place to learn, practice, and meet awesome people!

[@owenlavoie4502]

This video brings back some good memories! I did a 30 day trip on the Missinaibi ending in James Bay

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Glad I could take you back down memory lane. 30 days sounds like a pretty epic trip! 👍

[@paulfroud3920]

Not sure if you heard, they sell PFD's for pets now!

[@GreybeardAdventures]

We actually had a PFD for Lyra on this trip, but she proved that it was safer for her not to be wearing it on a whitewater river - on one of our dunks, she was able to swim under the gunnel of the toppled canoe and pop back up safely, whereas if she’d had her PFD on, she’d have been unable to do that.

[@RileyOutside]

There's always one@@GreybeardAdventures
