The multiday camp and cooks like this are awesome Kyle. Keep up the awesome work.

[@DOGFOODACTUAL8541]

I've been putting trips like this off for too many years. At almost 59 now, i have no excuses anymore. Time to start living! Thanks for sharing your trip and motivating!

[@AdventureChasing]

Hope you have a great upcoming adventure!

[@davidlineberry622]

The Manistee River is awesome!

[@DOGFOODACTUAL8541]

@@davidlineberry622 I have property in mid Lake County that I'm planning on retirement on within the next 2-5 years. I plan on spending a lot of time on the river when that happens.

[@DetroitHomeInspector]

I have been doing trips for the past few years and I am 61. Do it while you still can. People get old and set in their ways and just want to stay home and watch TV.

[@yesicanu]

How's the planning going?

[@cmcaroffino]

I was a Michigan Conservation Officer and the Manistee River and Hodenpyle Backwaters were in my patrol area, spent many hours patrolling those waters, your video brought many great memories.

[@brianmoore3988]

Today was one of my lowest mental health day I have had in two years. Your enthusiasm and joy was the difference maker. You never know what sharing your adventures can do. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos.

[@jimfromm3981]

I'm originally from Munising> I go back up north for a few weeks every fall, but now I live in Florida. I'm 80 and have been trying to get my wife to move back for 30 years. If you are an adventure-loving Michigander don't fall for the "Winters are too cold B.S" It's not a wise trade-off for 100-degree summers with 100% humidity and storms that blow your house away. I love the Lake Superior surf fishing videos. I'm an avid fisherman and I don't recall anyone fishing from Superior's shore other than myself 40 years ago. Manistee is my second choice for a place to live and play in Michigan. That area is possibly the best place to raise a family and build a life in Michigan. I'd love to see a complete float of the Escanaba or the Tahquamenon rivers. They both traverse through some beautiful country and are excellent fishing. Your enthusiasm and practical bush knowledge are informative, infectious, and light-hearted, however; I can't watch your videos before meals. I tend to take your enthusiasm to the table. Thanks for the seat in the canoe and by the fireside.

I am from iron county (iron river) I left to Green Bay as soon as I could drive I found myself really missing everything home has to offer like the outdoors I packed all my stuff up 2 years ago and came back haven’t had a complaint yet!

[@Chiefpancake1776]

My wife and I are both 33. We live just south of Grand Rapids. We have been looking at property in the U.P. to move to. I think it would be better to raise my girls up there, with a more modest lifestyle. Every time I go over the bridge, I don't want to come back.

[@CoryGames1400]

[@brianschindlbeck2807]

As a Muskegon born Michigander whose spent over 60 years exploring the western side of Michigan, I can't tell how amazing it is to have discovered your KZbin channel recently. Boy do I have stories about this particular stretch of river. Thanks man.

[@lodollar23]

Eating bacon after giving his dog first bite is a MANS SHOW! PERIOD! Just subbed, that's fantastic and proves his dog is healthy. My kinda people

[@marathuzula9024]

Your energy is priceless, doggo has the best friend ever when you chat to the camera with such intensity. Got me looking for a local river to paddle. Well done.

[@fepoxx]

what a beautiful adventure to experience with your dog. Enjoy life and seize the day. you're doing absolutely right.😊

I’m a former downstate Michigander who’s been living in Montana for the last 10 years. This makes me so nostalgic for up north rivers. There’s just Something about it that makes me want to go back.

You know this but here it is. "the life you are now living is not a dress rehearsal for your next, so grab up all of the gusto you can as you only go around once". Your adventures prove this point. Keep paddling forward.

[@newtchapman6084]

So excited to watch this! Your videos help take me back to growing up in northern Michigan. Thanks for what you do, Kyle!

[@kp8828]

Look forward to your videos every week.. great stuff.. I’m a northern Michigan native living in WV, PA for the last 15 years. Don’t get to get back much, so you’re adventures take me back to when I was your age.. good job man! Oliver is awesome!

People will hate you at the same time they are loving you.

Your vision of how adventure should be shared is next level. Keep going strong. YOU ROCK !!!

Good job. 👍 A real adventurer who appreciates the beauty of nature first thing in the morning, set his mission on a long trip to explore uncharted waters with his simple canoe until he reach his final destination.

When I do a float trip like this I find it's helpful to have an anchor set up that sits behind me for if I wanna stop and take a couple of casts. Finish up and lift the anchor and keep drifting.

[@fermiticus4034]

Awesome!!! The wife and I have just started taking short "adventures" like this. End of June, we (and Potatoes...our golden) canoed from Hodenpyl to Tippy. Camped at the first site we came to on the lake/river mouth. 25mph headwind, all 6 miles of Tippy pond! We just got back from a long weekend, on Tippy. Put the boat in and found a spot to camp. Walleye are deep, in there! Pulled 3 out of 40ft. We've been regulars at Coho Bend for 20 years. My grandparents started out there in the late 70's-early 80's...we've had the same spot for over 40 years!

Wow what an accomplishment!! My folks have a place on Tippy Dam Rd right by the dam, I have fished up and down that river from Tippy to the mouth in my river boat but have never considered floating the whole stretch.. I don't think most people understand how far that is and that was only a 1/4 of your trip!!! Hats off to you brother.. Drone footage rising above the fog was truly the best shot I think I've seen!! Thank you for sharing..
