So much rugged, beautiful scenery! And that swim at Big Beaver rapids/waterfall looked like a blast! Lasting memories indeed. 🖖

[@GreybeardAdventures]

That swim at Big Beaver was the perfect way to end our last full day on the Missinaibi. Great river to paddle! Thanks for checking it out, Ron! 🖖

Incroyable voyage, et très belle rivière. Je l’ajoute à ma liste :)

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Oui, vas-y!

[@Vickyscampingobsession]

Great series! The butterfly on your camera case is a White Admiral

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thanks very much! And thanks for the butterfly ID - I really enjoyed watching it on my gear. Beautiful species!

Dude this looks amazing! Such a gorgeous area and your drone shots are perfect. Keep em coming mate.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thanks a ton guys, appreciate it! 😊

[@carolannontario]

Totally fascinating, gorgeous, inspirational. Absolutely wonderful! So nicely put together to tell the story of the trip. I love the drone video and also that you included plants and rocks. Your awe and enthusiasm comes through strongly - very enjoyable to watch!

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thank you so much for such kind words, Carol-Ann! I really appreciate it! 😊

[@james_paige_wilderness]

Well done. I enjoyed your series very much. I have some take-aways from watching that I will apply to my future uploads.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thanks James! What takeaways do you have? Just curious as it helps me determine what I’m doing right. I’m also open to constructive criticism, so if you’ve got tips & suggestions, fire away! I’m happy to do the same for your vids (though maybe we could do them via PM!)

[@RileyOutside]

The camera never does the scale justice. Of the water, the rapids, and especially of big beaver.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

I totally agree! Things are always more spectacular in person.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

I hope you all enjoy this final instalment of my Missinaibi backcountry canoe trip. Let me know what you all think of the series!

[@Tents.and.Timber]

loved it

[@ivanoutdoors]

Hey Eric, really liking the videos, as an aspiring outdoor creator myself, kudos to you. Would you say there is more white water on the upper section or the lower section below Mattice?

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Hey Ivan, thanks very much for checking out the videos, I appreciate it! I haven't done the upper section yet -- that's in the works for next summer, likely. But the lower section had some great whitewater, including some longer sections and a decent a mix of Class I, II and III. Of course, we didn't get much snow this year, so unless it's a wet spring, water levels could be low so I'm not sure how that'll affect the river's whitewater. If you have any more questions, let me know, or hit me up on Instragam @ejb_greybeard.

[@ivanoutdoors]

@@GreybeardAdventures Oh I thought you did do the upper section. I'm in the infancy of my planning, for next years arctic trip.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

@@ivanoutdoors sorry you’re totally right, I must have been half asleep when I replied. 😂 I did the upper but not the lower.

[@GreybeardAdventures]

@@ivanoutdoors An Arctic trip!? That sounds AWESOME! What does a trip like that look like?

[@ivanoutdoors]

@@GreybeardAdventures it looks like 15-20 days away door to door. In order to do what I want to do. What River and paddle craft are TBD. Stay tuned

[@elgreco8573]

Did this area get hit by the fires last summer?

[@GreybeardAdventures]

Thankfully, the area was spared from any wildfire damage. We had a bit of smoke on a few days, and a campfire ban for the duration of the trip, but otherwise the area was ok.
