A Near Trip Ending Mistake in the Quebec Wilderness

[@Rocket5000]

It’s good to see you all didn’t sink! Also as a Newfoundlander it’s good to see someone actually talk about how Newfoundland has been really hit by that deal.

[@robpumphrey4302]

There's something wrong with the algorithm. Been waiting for a long time for your channel to blow up and I don't know why it hasn't yet. I suspect when you guys hit the tipping point it will go quick from there. Either way, awesome video as usual.

[@NorthernScavenger]

Appreciate that Rob!

[@mkvnwk]

I'm pretty disappointed that the helicopter didn't drop down and give you guys a few beers.

[@NorthernScavenger]

You and us both.

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

I really didn't think you guys were coming out of those rapids without bailing! Awesome recovery👍

[@billtuma267]

How close that was to sinking was hilarious!... watching from home of course... couldn't have got any closer

[@brianspencer4220]

Sure exciting. Leaves an old man trembling. Glad you fellows are showing a lot of maturity & skill. Thanks for bringing me along. Brian 81

[@ronbudgell2392]

On that stretch of water where you were windbound, we hit a rock and grounded more than a half mile from shore. No bottom visible bow or stern. Two of us had to crowd into the stern seat to float the canoe off.

[@TS-xj5mt]

Heads up sunscreen doesn't do anything for heatstroke. And you should link the other episodes into your description, ,makes it much easier for viewer to watch more of your channel, which I'm going to search out and do now. Thanks for posting great video

[@dwrivers47]

That whitewater bit had me on the edge of my seat! Every once in awhile we all need to be reminded to slow down and be careful. I love this series so far, beautiful scenery and top quality videography.

[@T3PinR]

I absolutely love to hear you guys say the word; "out".

[@lesmewis5291]

It is a nitrogen line with a manometer in the shack that records the water level via the pressure required to force the nitrogen out to the water.

[@matthewheil264]

Watching this made me very grateful for my sun hat.. one day you'll make the jump :) I liked the Churchill history lesson. Well edited and a welcome bit of colour to the clip. Bravo!

[@jacqueline7118]

OMG! I thought you two were going down with the ship, was on the edge of my seat cheering you on to land. Excellent save and paddling! :) Great that the power bank worked, the power gods were with you. lol Your correct that the weather dictates everything. I would have lots of patience for waiting in the wilderness on a beach, no problem! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to Ep. 3. :) :)

[@NorthernScavenger]

Haha, Jacqueline. We were also pretty excited to reach land :)

[@Joe.S4816]

I really appreciate the time you guys take to explain what your doing and why in the boat entertaining and educational love all the videos guys 👍

[@Maritimer]

Another great video! What a wild trip, beauty videws. Nice to see you guys mention how much Hydro Quebec is Fu*king over NL, it's insane, I thought that deal was over, I had no idea it lasted until 2035 or whatever you said.... terrible for NL. With your battery bank, I find with electronics, if the thing is powered off when it gets wet, generally it will work again once dried out, the trouble happens when the thing is powered on then gets wet... Anyways I'm getting caught up on your trip and loving it !

[@albertmast4627]

A very close shave, but experience and perseverance got you both through. Love the series and the quality of the recording and shots. Thank you for sharing

[@XRSskidooXRS]

Those were some serious rapids and a great recovery! The time and effort you put into filming/getting drone shots while trying to make good ground everyday is noticed. Great series, and spectacular job, looking forward to the next episode! Cheers from Nova Scotia!

[@caterinasalvatori841]

I mean, I have no words for these videos. WOW! This is spectacular, the trip, the video, the camaraderie, the food, the story, the crazy moments, last minute decisions etc. Honestly, how y'all don't have more viewers and views is beyond me. It's a lot of work editing these videos. ✌

[@sherrierifenberg2199]

How cool to see caribou and wolf! Looking at the map, it looked very much like wilderness, then surprise - hydro building, helo and power lines! Great video!

[@kylesaab]

I could think of a lot worse places to be stuck waiting out the weather, Great episode!!!!!

[@jimhanson7476]

Another awesome video, such a wild run of water… well done boys..

[@topher4251]

Yes! Episode 2 did not disappoint!

[@ride-paddle-repeat]

Took it right to the edge and made it. Really good lesson in patience and taking that extra time to set up the appropriate gear when needed. Glad you guys made it out okay and shared the experience with all of us.

[@YourJourney2Wellness]

Oh my goodness the rapids had me holding my breath for you! So impressed with the way you both kept your cool and glad it wasn't an expensive lesson to learn.

[@yanlap2183]

surprising to go so far and find portages and other human traces. a great series.

[@Archieconan]

Crazy episode! Happy you got out of that situation! Can’t believe you didn’t do any fishing on Lac Joseph! 😆🎣

[@NorthernScavenger]

Thanks Archie, unfortunately we didn't have the right license to fish in Labrador. But we brought our rods for Quebec...

[@benweir665]

I like that intro re-cap. Super profesh.

[@NorthernScavenger]

Thanks buddy!

Great stuff guys, glad to see the rapid didn't do you in! Gratuitous use of the spray skirt after that, I like it! Following Matty B for more recipes.

[@suezaple4950]

Gezz that one set of rapids was intense just nasty i thought for a brief moment you were going to sink, scary stuff boy,s. but you did it congratulations . Thank god Matts external hard drive works nice to hear. happy you have decided to not take any chances and have stayed at the beach lovin this series

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Well you definitely got lucky on that one 😳 Awesome 👍

[@trishaharrison6183]

Amazing paddling. I was holding my breath for ya. So much great scenery and wildlife there. Thanks for taking us along.😘

[@saltedbiscuit]

Appreciate the beefy portions of your bubbling and gurgling breakfast - always a treat to hear of how you stay fuelled for loving life in the wilderness. It sounds like it would definitely fill your gut, lol. Oh, and your scientific proofing of your echo orienteering cracked me up too. Looking forward to following the rest of the trip🛶🌲

[@TheMaharion]

That episode reminded me a lot of my last canoe trip, canoeing on a large lake with a strong crosswind. Awesome trip !

[@paultaylor3856]

Just awesome. Loving this series.

[@JB50713]

I made some samples of that bush Wacker oats when you guys first showed it. I had to cut the recipe in half! It was so much to consume in one sitting. Very tasty though!

[@NorthernScavenger]

Haha! J B, the only other person who has been able to finish a full serving is Chris from the B2B trip.

[@ruirodrigues9122]

[@Ianhurley54]

Man, I commented before I saw the last part. That was a huge trout!

[@musingwithreba9667]

Those rapids were good for the blood pressure! 😬🤪 Glad you got out of that with nothing worse than a bit wet!

[@jimbob2308]

As usual a great video, super scenery, fantastic wildlife and heart stopping near disasters. I'm loving this video series.

[@robertfallows1054]

Nothing like living on the edge! I didn’t think you were going to make it through that white water. Great videos! Crazy stuff to see in the middle of nowhere. - helicopters monitoring stations caribou and wolves. Plus great drone shots

[@Ianhurley54]

Holly moly guys, I didn’t think you we’re getting out of that one. Awesome fish.

[@timothyreid3061]

I googled Lac Joseph and there is a CBC article dated Feb 2020 reporting $5.4 million dollars in federal funding to manage and preserve the caribou in that area "in collaboration with indigenous governments".

[@BBQDad463]

Fantastic! Thanks for this series.

[@jamiegeorge184]

I can’t believe you paddled part of the poission river(the river of fish) and didn’t try fishing,huge speckled trout caught there

[@NorthernScavenger]

Agreed. We did not have the proper license to fish in Labrador

[@jamiegeorge184]

Survival you were living off the land. Beautiful country isn’t it lucky to see caribou we used to have over 700 thousand in the george river herd we would be hunting and hundreds of them running around us haven’t seen that in around 10 years the fishing is the only thing that is still great in Labrador but that’s declining as well

[@madformaple]

Absolutely enjoying the series! Can't believe the wildlife so far

[@NorthernRetreat]

Exciting episode. Nice to get a cheap lesson rather than a serious one. Loved the drone shots! 👍

[@davidkroft9955]

Always inspiring content, especially during the overcast weeks of mid winter! Amazing trip so far, I can’t wait to see what the future brings for this adventure!

Guess I didn't close the dry bag enough ? You didn't roll the bag at all. Lots of whitewater ahead , pay for, drill and install the loops, bring the spraydeck but don't put it on. Best to learn from others mistakes so thanks for posting and showing the mistakes so others can learn. Amazing balance when so swamped you had no freeboard but yet didn't flip. Well done.

[@MrJimmywalton]

Great video. Your excused having a few bleeps!

[@theroadnottakentravel]

[@kevinharding2099]

My experience with dry bag is that they are never fool proof. I prefer hard cases and buckets. They never develop holes and you can be less careful loading and unloading. I think all electronics should always go in a hard case. Great video.

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

Glad you're okay, gentlemen. That was some dicey white water!

[@paddlehooked4687]

Good lessons to be learnt here. I’ve had heat exhaustion on sunny trip, killed a day for me.

[@NorthernScavenger]

I find the sun generally drains my energy. I much prefer overcast days.

[@Thenomadicbrewer]

The little insights are great to see. No good fishing to show off yet?

Well I guess I am wind bound on an island until next Wednesday!!! Good stuff guys, those rapids were tricky and almost got you but you kept your heads.

“This is no joke. You really have to be committed to eating this much oatmeal in the morning.” Always looking for new and easy breakfast ideas. I have found instant oatmeal packets just don’t keep me going long after eating. So, I whipped up a batch of “bushwhacked oats”. Yes, you really have to be committed to eating that much oatmeal! But, it does keep you full and energized for many hours and tastes really good.

[@Brentdarley]

Oh my that scared me, I had to have a cider and calm down!

Not much to add to all the positive comments so far. Love those healthy calorific meals. How about an adventurer's food and meal plan video or book someday. Was that a prep trip for an eventual descent of La Rivière Mécatina? Thanks for sharing.

[@nickcollins4268]

Thanks for having our backs boys. Newfoundland and labrador did get a raw deal on churchill falls.... its not a good look for Quebec. Hopefully the future yields more mutually beneficial arrangements between nl and Quebec and all the provinces.

Ask yourself why none of the financial institutions in English Canada and the USA wanted to finance the project for Newfoundland instead of blaming Quebec. But you wont.

No free beers from the helicopter this time? 😀 Can’t believe you didn’t go down on that river. From the camera angle it looked like you took a lot more water. The canoe looks like it sits pretty low too. Is that just the camera, or early days extra weight?

[@NorthernScavenger]

The boat fully loaded with a months worth of food made it sit low and a bit sluggish. I can confirm from our angle that we took on a lot of water

Sadly, this whole HQ-Newfoundlands deal has been spin by politicians way to much. HQ took most of the risks and got very lucky. In that perspectives, the money Newfoundland made isn’t worst than the money the government make when a private mine pays some royalties. And with the Muskat falls disaster that the whole country had to bail out, hopefully we can put this behind us and rebuild some more constructive relations.
