6-Day / 120km Solo Canoe Trip: River Spey to the Sea

[@juttley72]

Really appreciate you being honest in the video in the mistakes you made, makes the whole video better as you could have easily edited them out. Makes the whole video more genuine and enjoyable. Only came across your channel yesterday and am really enjoying your content. Thanks for taking the time to document your journeys. Scotland is a wonderful place.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Hi mate! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, thank you. Your feedback is also very useful, I do try to keep it as real as possible, happy to share my mistakes! The more mistakes we make, the better we’ll be! Stay tuned for many more mistakes to come!!! Scotland is wonderful indeed 👊

[@Darkpilot-uo9wd]

I love and hate these videos because im at home and not on a adventure but then i love them because i can go on these adventures 😂

[@EzeAdventurer]

I feel like that when I watch other adventure videos on KZbin too

[@Pete7330]

Another great trip, well filmed and well accomplished. Reminds me of many trips on the rivers of Michigan's upper part of the lower peninsula. Bridges, fisherman, rapids, rain, getting swept through trees, wind; such great memories. Thanks again.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mikeu5380]

Thanks so much for your generosity in taking us with you. A superb journey!

[@EzeAdventurer]

You bet buddy my pleasure!!

[@dougieranger]

What an epic journey. I like that you showed the accidents and incidents as well as the good events, it gives the viewer an honest impression. Thank you for tidying up the mess you came across too, Stella can, traffic cone etc, that’s very respectful. Subbed your channel.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks big man appreciate that! Yeah I definitely try to show it as it is as much as possible! If I cut stuff out, it's usually me going on a bit and over explaining haha. Thanks for subbing bud!

You made laugh. You said, you don't want a damn tree to fall on you. A glacier is okay, but no damn tree falling. Looked like a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

Looks so sweet dude. Thanks for being part of the LITTER LEGION = better human, better planet. I do regular beach cleans and litter pickups whenever out. 😃

Such a good video and what an amazing trip. That drone shot through the trees is sooo good. Also those camping spots look incredible.

Aaah glad you liked it buddy!!! Really was an amazing trip! Looking forward to many more maybe we can join forces on one together sometime bud! Good to get back in touch bro xx

[@craigm6878]

What a wonderful video, makes a change to see the Spey from a canoe on the river rather than from a car driving along side the river.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks! totally, super different perspective, very beautiful river!

[@The-Dutch-Explorer]

Great trip! The first part of the river remind me a lot of the Thames here in south Ontario right about till you get in to a little more whitewater. Beautiful river full of lessons and what a reward at the end to and up on the ocean! The sound the waves made on the rocks is very neat! Awesome job in picking up all the garbage along the way too👌 Respect!👊

Thanks so much brother!!

So far I have watched your Patagonia series, Alquonquin Park, Yukon River, WOW and your appreciation for your surroundings make the videos extra special! 👏👏👏👏. I had a wind experience in BC Canada and I was praying for it too end and you reminded me of that experience when you were under the trees in the hammock praying for the wind to stop and I was right there with you (metaphorically speaking), scary stuff!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much for following on so many adventures!! I appreciate it! I know that feeling, it's very scary!!!

[@jeffreylee9799]

I really enjoyed the trip. Can only imagine how much work went into producing the video but I felt like I was right there with you. Good job!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much means a lot to hear that! I’m glad you came along for the ride!!

[@hemmo3732]

Thanks for the video. I'm the definition of slow when it comes to setting up or breaking camp, so I can appreciate the extra time and effort it must take you, with several camera angles and whatnot. You mentioned freshwater mussels, those can be found in all the Nordic countries at least, maybe elsewhere in Northern Europe too.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Hey mate! Slow to break camp ey? We'd get along lol! Yeah it's quite nice when you're alone, cos you can be as sloooooow as you want! I thought I read somewhere that these freshwater mussels produced PEARLS... and that's what made them unique... maybe not? Either way we should look after them :-) Thanks for watching the video!

[@rkw4565]

What a great trip! Thanks for taking us along, and cleaning up after the slobs.

Hi Eze, absolutely loved that mate 👌👌 looked like a quality trip. Was pretty surprised at the size of that Salmon you found! Looking forward to your next adventure buddy, speak soon, Matt 👍🏻

Thanks Matty!! Really was a special trip, only downside it’s now left an even bigger adrenaline / adventure hole to fill… there’s no end in sight 😂… salmon was pretty big I estimate 20-25lbs maybe (record is 65lbs in Spey). Speak soon buddy 👍

Another great vid.Just watched you and your wife somewhere else in Glen Affric. Did well with the wildlife,and decent weather (by Scottish standards).We did the stretch form Aviemore to Grantown a few weeks before you in 20oC.Looks a lot more fun,faster water further down. Had a chuckle at your not going anywhere swim at 13.30 mins. Cheers and thanks for picking up the litter

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks Dave, I really appreciate that! Next video out will also be with my wife, we did a gruelling 40km loop in the Lake District - video coming this Tuesday! The Spey is wonderful ins't it? Aviermore to Grantown is a beautiful section. Pleasure re rubbish, it's the least I can do given my own negative contributions to the environment ey? Take care mate

Yo Eze, I’d been wondering about your trip and why I’d not seen it flash up. Had to search my subs and there you were with new name, much better dude 🤟. Fantastic video, love how you capture nature at it best and worse sadly for the salmon, but I’m sure it had a great life. Still want to lay my hands on the amok hammock, I will one day. Your videos are such a wonder to watch and we can all learn a thing or two. Keep them coming and thank you for taking the time 😊

[@EzeAdventurer]

Hi 👋 Anne! Glad you like and found the new name!! Yeah was sad to see that beautiful fish on the river bank but part of the cycle of life I guess. The amok is awesome, such high quality gear - worth waiting for. Will keep them coming thanks for watching and for your encouragement, ATB, Eze.

[@Kelfella]

What an adventure. Paddling those rapids looked such a buzz and catching the salmon leap on video was brilliant . Really enjoyed watching , thanks for sharing .

[@EzeAdventurer]

Mark! Those rapids were awesome!! So glad I was able to catch a bit of the salmon leaping! I filmed the river a lot in 120 frames per second to try and get it in slow motion, which would have been SICK! I caught that one at 40 fps which is why the quality of the shot isn't great, but grateful nonetheless! Thanks for watching my friend

[@EzeAdventurer]

Glad you enjoyed it!! And yeah my experience level before this trip wasn't too high. However, I'd still advise much respect and attention to the river, especially if water levels are anything higher than low/normal. Definitely one to do, it's a stunner! Thanks for watching !

@@Maffpalmer Mate I cannot rate those muck boots high enough, I absolutely LOVE them to bits. 10/10. They are so freaking comfortable and incredibly warm, but I've never overheated in them yet.

8:53 the water filter - does this make any lake water drinkable? Also do the wildlife not disturb you in the night, like the foxes or deers and what not?

[@EzeAdventurer]

I'm not sure if ANY lake but it does filter to 0.1 micron level which basically removed 99.99999% or something like that of any bacteria / viruses. I've used it in many scenarios and never had any issues. Haha no wildlife don't disturb me... in the beginning when I started camping, it was all very new, so every leaf rustling kinda gets you going. I do hear sometimes branches snapping (deer likely) or small footsteps here and there, maybe badgers, foxes and small animals. Nothing here in the UK is dangerous though, so ultimately you just gotta let it go. Ear plugs can help in the beginning (not recommended in bear country though!!)

[@simonbennett3781]

Thankyou for a great video. May I ask how you get back to your car? Do you kayak back?

Shuttle back! There are companies that do it like Highland Yaks

Hi Mate, I didn't actually as it was too hard to calculate progress etc. You'll find plenty once you are there, go for it and wing it, it's always the best way!!!
