Ollie is the luckiest dog on earth.

[@cz7425]

Merch idea: hats, T shirts, and stickers that say "Ollie, stay in the boat."

[@AdventureChasing]

That’s a winner!

[@krismajchrzak4671]

Hell ya I need me some of that in my life

[@franjescaj]

15:00 Ollie is such a treat. Such a distinguished gentleman.

[@rrmarlatt]

That's my town! I am very fortunate to live in Esky. Fish the river all the time. Great to see some great content from my neck of the woods. Oh yeah the mosquitoes are bad this year.

[@AdventureChasing]

What a beautiful river you have! Thanks for watching🙂

[@MrAnimalControl]

@@rrmarlatt where at in Esky? I'm on the bluff in Gladstone by the sports park.

Paws down the best KZbin channel out there...😂 always brings smile when I get an alert of a new video thx for the ride

[@kevinthorrington2131]

I grew up on lake superior, had a Labrador dog as a teenager. We went hunting and fishing and went everywhere together. Watching your video brings back fond memories. I'll be heading back to the picture rocks area to fish trout next spring. I did a lot of backpacking and camping as a kid, hope to do it again after I retire.

[@roysaari3028]

You da man!! Ollie is such a nice dog!! Thanks for a great adventure… minus the mosquitos and ticks!!!

[@BradFelix-ip8xj]

The freshly retired teacher recovering from knee surgery is enjoying these videos! Thanks for motivating me to get back on the rivers. I grew up in Bessemer, MI (so I will always say I’m a Yooper!). Nothing like adventures with you and your dog!!

[@paulnokio1199]

Outstanding trip! You paddled right through my neck of the woods!

[@stacywade769]

Great video kid! We just came home from up there in champion camping and floating on the Peshekee River 2 days ago. The U.P. is our favorite! The mosquitoes were brutal thou for sure! Anyway my husband and I love your videos! Your enthusiasm, your cooking, your fishing, your dog❤ and your love of nature...i hope you never loose that. Your videos always keeps us in awe, laughing and entertained. Keep up the great work! Your fans from Missouri

[@tiefsa]

Ollie is back! What an amazing adventure. I was worried for you both in some of those rapids!

[@AdventureChasing]

Thank you! I made sure we were safe along the choppy waters🙂

[@richardcapellesr7031]

Absolutely top-notch!. Audio, video and content, I'm looking forward to your next video, Kyle Thank you so much!..

[@AdventureChasing]

I’m glad to hear that!! Ollie and I will keep the content coming🙂

[@mikeandchristydreese1242]

Another fantastic adventure Kyle. I lost my canoeing partner Kevin ( lab) early June. i wasnt sure if i was going to get another but your videos changed my mind. My new boy steve, 10 wk yellow lab already has two voyages, the manistee and crystal river. Thanks Kyle. Steve appreciates you too.

[@AdventureChasing]

Tell Steve I appreciate him as well! How awesome, I wish you guys many great adventures afield together!

[@MrAnimalControl]

My stomping grounds. I know that river well. Put in up in Gwinn and enjoy the ride. I fish that river occasionally and it's a short rip to Cornell from my house in Gladstone. Lots of rain lately made for some fast current brother. Awesome video! Hitting the salmon up at dawn.

[@AdventureChasing]

Hope you smash them in the morning!! What a beautiful river!

[@MrAnimalControl]

@AdventureChasing it's an awesome stretch. Next time you're up this way I'll show you the magic lure for those browns. Meeting my buddy at 2:45am heading to Lake Michigan for the king salmon magic hour.

[@bobsmyth9776]

T Y... What a nice ride with you two.

[@SquatchMan123]

Kyle you are the man. Your adventures a the best. Those brownies were awesome and the small mouths were ok also. You took us on another trip that was just awesome. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@AdventureChasing]

Thanks for watching!🙂

[@robertlipiec1975]

Wow, what a cool adventure

[@evans1982]

Treat all your clothes will permethrin, fantastic for mosquitoes. Also a good head net is a must.

[@DavidCope-t3m]

Once again a float trip some can only imagine. Shared with a dedicated partner. Pleased to see how enthralled you are with all the U.P. has to offer. Stay safe and keep on posting.

[@kp8828]

Ollie is a one of a very few kind companion.. you’re lucky mister.. great work, love your stuff!!

[@AdventureChasing]

I am very lucky! Thanks for watching🙂

[@karlchandler7246]

Great video as always brother!!!!!

[@bowshock9402]

Limitless potential!

[@CJ_Caster]

Super cool! I lived Gladstone for almost 5 years and I absolutely loved fishing around the area. The Escanaba river was always a blast. That area has a lot to offer. Great video man. I really enjoyed it!

[@jacobhess4547]

Love the content! me and my buddy are taking a 7 day trip starting Monday next week! On the big Man! Can’t wait you’ve inspired us!

[@jasongraham7894]

Where are you putting in?

[@AdventureChasing]

Wow, that is great to hear. I hope you guys have the best time!!

[@seanbennett7916]

Some nice river browns! Not lots of rivers with bigger browns like that on a regular basis. I'm close to the UP but only been there a few times mainly skiing.

Great job Kyle, I am sure some day we will cross paths

[@Goats22]

You're a legend bro!

[@jasongraham7894]

My son (14) and I start our 7 days doing the Manistee on Sunday. I had a German Shepherd years ago that would ride in my canoe. We tipped one day, and her collar got stuck on the limb of a sweeper underwater. I almost lost her. Be careful Olly!

[@AdventureChasing]

I hope you guys have an amazing trip! I will do my best to keep a sharp eye on him🙂

[@outdoors-with-Den]

Another awesome video!

[@iddddaduncan]

Just beautiful, thanks for sharing.

[@maryduncan8460]

Thermacel’s are the best. I swear on those. You get a couple of those going and you’re golden. It keeps those Michigan state birds from sucking all your blood out. Great video Kyle 2 thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻

I’m a native Michigander, your channel really makes me miss my home state.

Some really under rated walleye fishing you went threw brookies above boneys basin few miles turns warm and slow to the dam then great fishing below it. But they get buggy..

Congrats on your first brown bud! You have an amazing river in your backyard👊

Very cool love the camping trip with the dog. Dang skeeters and black flies will get ya. The wife and I live down state and we plan all of our trips north to avoid peak bug season. Learned that lesson the hard way like everyone else has to lol

I love the canoeist life! Hope you enjoy it as well, Spencer🙂

Great video! For them mosquitoes and flies too get some dragon fly pins to put on you and your gear it's amazing how good it works. Especially if they clip on and look like they are flying up above you or around you. Give it a shot! Keep up the good work!

[@darylbernard2616]

Good stuff! Looks like a fun trip with a great paddling partner. Man - your canoe takes a beating! My 14.5 foot wood/canvas canoe can't take that sort of treatment, so I'd be carrying it over those portages. But good on you for taking on this adventure. The UP is amazing country.

[@adventureswithken1983]

That fart!!! I had to rewind it and listen closely. Busted out laughing, and my daughter looked at me like I was crazy. You're living the dream, my friend. Great adventure!

Great video! Ollie is so cool! I would take my cat on adventures but she is scared to be outside! Lol

[@jimberry4871]

Great Video! Lots of iron in that water

[@CanadianSledDog]

You don't see many of those Yozuri lures. I love the little snap beans perch it's like an inch long, you can't find anything else in that size and style and it works great for perch.

[@bobgiles2971]

Another amazing video good looking fish but definitely would think about investing in bug spray

[@AdventureChasing]

Thank you, Bob! I had some but it wouldn’t touch their invasion😅

Try running your little stove in the tent for a few minutes. I know it works on gnats

Dam Kyle some great u.p. stuff lately. I haven't been in the u.p. in probably 16 years might be time to go visit the family up there... also I've commented before if olive is still working with what God gave him. I have a 2 year old female with the exact same temperament and I would love to get them together too make some puppies...
