[@donnafloyd5245]

I love the Excitement in the way the all are getting alone.

[@manelikalski]

The Traffic Light Canoe Gang!

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Haha! Yes!! Just noticed that! 🤣

[@conniewaite1371]

I noticed that in the first one! Lol

[@trishaharrison6183]

Such amazing scenery. Loved the bowling and pigtails. The great outdoors inspires the mind.😘

[@devinhoward4982]

That shot at 28:07 😯, seems like it wouldve been a beast to set up and film.

[@brucedow3883]

Episodes getting better each segment of trip. I think you actively developing the other personalities of team members helps draw interest.

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Thanks Bruce! Everyone was getting more comfortable talking to the camera as the trip wore on too. Personalities came out naturally

[@jaysway2346]

Awesome group dynamics, everyone is getting more comfortable out there when you stick a camera in their face and realizing this KZbin thing can be pretty fun.

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

It's actually funny... I wanted to do more intros and sound bites earlier on, but most were camera shy. A few days later and everyone gets pretty comfortable talking to the camera! Was neat to see too!

[@mattvaandering]

This is a great series Brad and Leah! Really enjoying it

[@dwrivers47]

This last section of river is gorgeous. Your positivity is so refreshing guys, you are killing it 😊

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Lots more of the open forests. The moss that carpets it is super thick and comfy too!

[@jimryan4359]

We appreciate the work you put into these. Always enjoy the paddling skill and the scenery

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Many thanks Jim!

[@harleyray6642]

Great to enjoy the Canadian wilderness from the comfort of my couch lol nice video !

[@Brentdarley]

You have become quite the videographer! Thanks for brining us along.

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Thanks Brent!

[@SwampDonkey530]

How do you not camp below and play in that cool rapid..ALL DAY!!!!

[@Mike_the_Machine]

Wow, what an adventure great job.

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Thanks Mike!

[@weatherincorporated6088]

Wonderful series!! Amazing adventure and what a great group to travel together. Positivity makes all the difference

[@arneservatius1982]

No one cares about what deserts your eating. Tell us what parallel your one geology of the area nearest town or field landing. Make your trips worth it. Good filming🤗🇺🇸🇨🇦 Michigan

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

@@arneservatius1982 lol, some do based on comments received. Something for everyone. Episode I has a route overall map and details. The nearest town is Chibougamau ~300km south, or Mistissini, first nation ~150-200km south.

[@jimhanson7476]

How big is Canada, this trip says it all, so much untouched wilderness.. love my country.. well done all

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

You said it Jim! So much more wilderness out there far beyond where most of us will ever venture. Even a lifetime of paddling won't scratch the surface!

[@ivandrain5959]

Lauar biasa pemandangannya 💯🧡.

[@TheOutdoorSeeker]

CRAZY RAPID! You really enjoy this kind of paddling. It didn't look too bad for the second canoe. Weird. They were taking a slightly different line I guess. Gorgeous sunsets.

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Yeah they took a slightly different line and also slowed down through some of the pushier stuff. You can see Emily back paddling in the Red Esquiff vs Leah powering straight on onto the maelstrom. Best rapid on the trip though!! Wish we had more of that!

[@madformaple]

great series! Amazing drone shots - what a unique area! Will have to try cookies while camping next summer. Thanks for sharing

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

There was a lot of baking done on this trip! A lot of those are pretty quick, 'just add water before baking' deserts. Something relatively easy but super tasty to look forward to. The reflector oven is a must have for trips like this. I think for next summers big trip, we'll dabble more in breads too.

[@dalethornington1527]

👍👍

[@NorthernWildOutdoors]

Can you do a video on how you maintain your canoe ? I know nova craft has similar videos but you add a different dynamic with your repair kit. Thanks

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Hmmm not a bad idea for the spring actually. See what I can do!

[@rlarok22]

Great adventure in beautiful country. Well filmed and well edited. I really enjoy watching your travels and the team dynamics are great. Do any of the others have KZbin channels? Could you introduce them? It would be great to find out a bit more about their backgrounds, etc. Thank you.

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

My wife, Leah is on our channel. Cam has a channel, but he only has one or two short videos youtube.com/@cameronnawalaniec7499. The rest don't really do much social media. I wanted to do a bit more of an intro, but the majority were camera shy at first and only opened up after a few days of the camera being around.

[@rlarok22]

@@ExploreTheBackcountry The camera shyness was noticeable and the fact they all became more comfortable with it. I think it added another level to the adventure, as if you were all getting closer as time passed. You when through beautiful country, I wish I was healthy, experienced and confident enough to undertake such an adventure. Happy new year!

[@waydegilbank2510]

Were are the fishing rods are you guys scared of catching something you all cant eat , perfect video but it would of been nice to see you guys eating some fresh cooked fish buddy

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Tons of fishing regs in this area unfortunately. Big trip upcoming for this summer and we've already made sure to secure all the reg hoops this time!

[@CanadianSledDog]

Speaking of food, where did the group keep their food at night on this trip?

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Barrels per usual. I believe we had 3 between the 6 of us.

[@colepef4902]

Is it just me or does the volume seem to vary a lot? I’m playing the video through my TV and find I’m turning it up to hear people talk and down through the music or windy sections? Is it my sound bar? Idk

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

It's all normalized mix to -1dB with music well below at -10dB to -26dB. Most speaking is +3-12dB. Could be your soundbar setting. I've played it on studio headphones no issue, a forced mono soundcard and through several TV setups without an issue. There could be a theatrical or sampling setting enabled on your bar. Forced mono drowns out some of the mix though.

[@judyeverett4553]

why do the canoes go from yellow, green, and red, to, red, red, and green, and then back to yellow, green, and red?

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Same 3 canoes, just different shots so different perspectives. Maybe the shading or lighting in a shot made one of the canoes look different?

[@benweir665]

Tail winds rule.

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Always seem like a rare treasure when you get em....

[@swbaker8]

Does anyone know if they shared a map of the route? Thank you!

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

EP 1 rough outline about 3 mins in

[@stephani7880]

🙂 ρгό𝔪σŞｍ

[@waydegilbank2510]

Pot licker why arnt you guys trolling it would be so nice to see what can be caught in the waters your putting all these miles on. Do like your videos but the fishing would be a nice added feature to your trips
