Alaska Canoe Trip with Girl in the Woods

My wife Brooke and I take an overnight canoe trip on a sub arctic river.

[@geemac7267]

The whole "bushcraft" thing on KZbin seems to have morphed into guys with unlimited funds showing off their expensive gear. I'm happy to see a channel that's more about the skills and the fun of the outdoors. Thanks for that.

[@Bushradical]

You are very welcome. I feel the same way. Some people have turned camping into a college level course with only one right way to do everything. Not to mention the cult of "gear".

[@cookscatapults]

Gee Mac72 hahahaha Totally Agree, Pretty Dang Awesomeness and refreshing

[@centauri9458]

That is absolutely right. Seems that happens with any activity, hunting and fishing started that I think. I've caught more fish from a cheap kayak or canoe than I did my bassboat.

[@amandajo1013]

Ive watches Brooke's view of thos trip too. You guys make me happy. We all should be so lucky to find such a perfect match for our lives. Wishing God's continued blessing on you amd yours

[@lorrainehelt976]

I love the fact that you two are yard sale people. Me too

[@Bushradical]

Love a good sale!

[@josebarrio7538]

I love the back and forth between you and Brooke, this video always gets a few laughs out of me, feels like hanging out with old friends, I think your greatest asset is having a wife that matches you so perfectly, you guys are great, I watch your videos whenever I'm having a rough day, never stop what you do and thank you.

[@wayfaringrider972]

Sharing the same passion with your wife is the greates gift... Happy Trails Dave...

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@larrysanxter6343]

Dear Brooke & Dave, I sooo enjoy your sharing your adventures together, just as much as I love your individual romps through the woods. I have watched this vid before but still enjoy the river trip. My wife and I have canoed the Des Moines River in Iowa as well as lots of Iowa lakes and ponds. I sold our Osagian 17 footer to my barber in Houston 10 years ago and definitely got my $400 out of it. Continue sharing and I will keep on watching. God's peace to you both.

[@hildegardkhelfa5358]

I very much enjoyed both versions, first the one from your wife and now yours. I wad laughing a lot about you two, gently teasing each other and enjoyed the beautiful trip.

[@ThatCreditGuy1]

Thanks for taking me along for this great float! I so much enjoy your videos.

[@mheermance]

That canoe has character. Also, bringing limes was a good idea, you can never be too careful about scurvy.

[@paulmiller7276]

That little nippy bot is great for bringing to a football game filled with southern comfort lol😂

[@jenniferrastley7337]

Love the videos from you and your wife.

[@TheRealChetManley]

Ok, you had me at the cold beer in the canoe on the river...awesome

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@NewtonWashinton]

Awesome video on the river, gave me some good laughs too, Glad you don't seem to have any problems with Mr Yogi. 👍👍

[@davecassady7468]

Rainier beer! Walt Longmire would be proud!

[@garyharmon1155]

[@Bushradical]

[@KAStodgell]

Love the limes. Canoe is perfect. Love your bickering. I love to eat lemon or lime with a bit of salt. I am a fan of both of your channel.

[@proudchristian77]

[@loreneknight9755]

Ok, ol bushy, your making me nervous. Why are you carrying that big old canoe by yourself? I don't understand...LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Your videos. I started watching Brooke & she led me to you. U 2 are such a joy to watch & learn from. And pretty darn entertaining!! Safe & extraordinary adventures for you & your loved ones. Lime in beer? Never tried it.

[@Bushradical]

You have to try it! Put a WHOLE lime ( crushed) into 2 beers....thats what you want.

[@angelachristle2116]

It’s always fun to see the different versions the video that you both shoot! You guys are fun and cute together!

[@justaguyoutside8409]

Lucky,Lucky Man. Brooke is not only your wife! She seems to be your best friend too!!

[@Bushradical]

you know it.

[@victorcastle1840]

Bushradical Great ! The only way , 54 yrs. for us in 2 wks. can't remember when I wasn't married. Got married as kids and grew up together :-) well almost. She was adult by law and I wasn't in Illinois.

[@Bushradical]

Congratulation!

[@Bushradical]

54 years is an accomplishment.

[@vianonamitchell4114]

Lol...love it, you two are just so real, awesome!

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@jamescarryl9690]

Dave I did watch Brooks video first. I finally got t ok see the interaction between you and her. I must say. If ever two people were meant to be togeather, it's U two. I enjoyed this video very much. Please make another. Stay safe in the woods.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks James. We don't get up to this river often but its always a great trip.

[@xfilion]

Lager and Lime. We drink that in pints in the UK. Great video both.

[@CliffManis]

Enjoying.. both...Good to see you two guys together....

[@Shawn_Richards]

Such a great relaxing video. 👌🏼

[@doriskovalcik442]

Just found this video and even though it’s a couple years old I enjoyed it so much. Been missing the videos from y’all.

[@marciaolson4878]

You guys are a riot!!! Too funny! Keep up the good work!!!

[@annbullard7657]

Thank you both! Wonderful!

[@Bushradical]

[@Bushradical]

Thanks for watching. The duck tape worked perfect, and still does.

[@mn7803]

Lovely couple!

[@royramey5659]

Man you love lime. Going down the Yuba my friend ate it in his coleman and folded it in half.There were plenty of holes and i stuck dry twigs in holes,they swelled and we were able to make the last 8 miles.He's wife was with him.

[@Bushradical]

Dry twigs.....I'll remember that

[@rickstewart5934]

Same canoe I use... they are awesome. One tough canoe.

[@NewExperienceExplorer]

Thank you guys for starting to do videos again :D . I love your stuff, it's so down to earth and wholesome makes me wish i was back in the mountains of Transylvania :D .

[@Bushradical]

Thanks Adrian P!

[@Lisa-cj6vx]

Great video as always! Thanks to both of you! God bless and stay safe!

[@Bushradical]

THANKS

[@frasersgirl4383]

I love this video with you two together!!

[@karenzaller9659]

It was interesting to see the melt along the side of the river. Makes you wonder how long it will be before the river is half a mile wide. I have watched both of your channels and can say truthfully that I enjoy them both very much. Thanks to you both.

[@Eagleone9747one]

Thanks for taking us a long with the two of you. I've always enjoyed canoeing a quiet peaceful river, you got lucky the wind was in your favour.

[@Bushradical]

No joke.....we didn't feel it much on the water but if it were against us, I think we would have noticed it more , LOL

[@grizzly22485]

Always fun watching the juxtaposed views of the two videos. Great trip, great fun, great video.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks!

[@danhooper1056]

Had a great time with ya. Thanks again.

[@George71964]

This episode was so good I had to watch it again after several months. What a great time on the river camping.

[@Bushradical]

it was lots of fun. I'm glad you liked it

[@barrywebber100]

Nice to see your film of this canoe trip Dave. It seemed more relaxed and enjoyable this time around. Thanks.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@markfoulds9917]

Great video of both you and Girl in the woods (I have watched hers too). You two are a great double act. Just fantastic scenery....utter bliss with some fine comedy moments too. Hugely informative video and living as i do in the UK, i am very jealous of these amazing spots.

[@dianevillemaire8286]

Great video. Love thesceney

[@Bushradical]

Thanks.

[@bradstone9834]

That looks like a great time.

[@Bushradical]

There were several years of my life where I had Hank Jr's greatest hits in the console of my truck. That and Alabama, Steve Miller, And the Eagles.

[@eddiep5676]

I think we would get along pretty well.

[@lindasands1433]

[@outandaboutwithpb9616]

One of my best memories of Alaska was a 3 day canoe trip down the Copper R from Chistochina to Chitna.

[@ksmitty7277]

Cant beat a rainier and some fishin with the ol lady. awesome buddy. all the way from washington where they made that and a staple of fishing

[@Bushradical]

Right on!

[@josephlawrence6873]

Awesome video I would love to take a trip down that river. Reminds me of my hunting trips on grindstone island in the middle of the St. Lawrence river.

[@Bushradical]

It was a fun float.

[@heathschwab]

[@kittymorse7402]

[@williamblakeley3744]

Thank you for the beautiful toar down the lake its really likeable ..

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@cookscatapults]

Hahahaha that was an Awesomeness Adventure .....Thanks for having us along for the Ride....Super Coolio

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@Woodenarrows]

Nice trip Dave. Cool seeing both sides (yours and Brookes). That old Canoe is a wreak but hey, it still floats and no worries about grounding it on the gravel bars :-)

[@Bushradical]

Good point! its like a built in feature!!! "run this boat right up on the rocks.....you'll never know anything happened". I like the way you think.

[@shawnr771]

Good video. Nice buy on the canoe. Rainer beer. I have been on the tour of the brewery years ago. At the end they used to let you drink all the beer you could drink. The catch was when you left to go to the restroom you were done.

[@Bushradical]

I love that story!!!

[@mickeywilsonbushcraftandsu2513]

Nice and peaceful trip it seemed. Very nice video. For the $75 you paid for the canoe and that trip id say it was beyond well worth the money. Cool the wind was working with ya. Nice yard sale find man I too am a concrete finisher by trade. Thanks for sharing and a huge thumbs up. Now I am going to go see Brooks version lol.

[@Bushradical]

Hey Mickey, Thanks for the comment! What kind of concrete work do you the most. With me it seems like we end up doing a lot of mono slabs.

[@aaronnelson1099]

Living the life there Whip! 👍

[@Bushradical]

Thanks Aaron.

[@johnbrock1602]

Always enjoy seeing Alaska

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@johnlong9534]

My first canoe was exactly like the one you have. It was a little too big for one person. On my first time using it, I went to the bank for a break and the front of the canoe went up on the bank. When I stood up, I was off balance. I was int he back and fell overboard. All my gear stayed in the canoe. I was the only thing to get wet. I am not sure why I am even posting this. Your videos remind me of old times, good times. Thanks. Oh yeah. Filming each other. You guys crack me up.

[@RidgeRunner5-]

Nice video Dave, nothing wrong with the canoe. Thought I'd see some fishing.

[@alanwilliams5836]

I saw Brooke's video from this trip... have been waiting to see if you would include one Dave. Very awesome. I'll tell ya one thing for sure. There is nothing better than seeing the vs. videos that you guys do on your joint adventures. Gives us some hope... if you know what I mean. Imagine if couples always saw eye-to-eye on everything... how boring a life would that be!!?? But still... finding a mutual, self respecting manner to love one another through all things is a true gift given freely to you, and you guys really seem to choose it without consideration. Awesomeness!!! We are looking forward to any new adventures (dual or solo), gear reviews, etc... a pleasure being subscribed. Let us know when you guys return to MI... really enjoy vids from here at home.

[@Bushradical]

Thank you Alan. We appreciate the compliments. Brooke and I are both back in Michigan right now.......long story......you'll get to hear it soon enough.

[@Strangernightg]

I tell you, I sure wish I could be out there living off the grid. Right now even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able because im in need of a hip replacement and I've been waiting for an operation for the past 7 years or so!!! Anyway, I'll keep following and learning from you as time goes on thank you for your teaching.

[@Bushradical]

I hope you get that done soon. Thats a long time to wait

[@rdpauley9824]

👍 enjoyed the video.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@mjuberian]

that was some good fishing...

[@rshutterbug47]

Really good video!

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@redjeepoutdoors7037]

Thanks. Just subbed. Great video. Really liked seeing how you two video the trip and yourselves. Don't actually see how that is done the majority of the time.. Keep it going.

[@Bushradical]

I'd like to shoot a vid about how to shoot outdoor videos. Some people with channels might find it interesting.

[@TheRocketbob22]

Mesmerizing . Your like a friend 7000 miles away.

[@Bushradical]

Thank you.

[@kodeywhitewolf4056]

A fun canoe trip adventure Last time for me was in Maine down the Saco for 6 day when I went to camp as a kid Lots of fun

[@Bushradical]

awesome

[@milliepankow1326]

Hey bushy I enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@fishingunboxingsandreveiws7226]

I like Brooks hat!

[@alexanderweaver9182]

Great canoe trip, Dave! I would love to find my $75 dollar canoe. I have a kayak but a canoe would be more fun and able to carry the camping gear I'd need. Someday I will make it to Alaska...beautiful country! Hi to Brooke from Virginia.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@jamesbarnowsky9526]

Great video. I love watching your videos. I live in Michigan and I absolutely love your video's of your road trips to Alaska. I'm hoping someday I can make that trip and follow your route. It always pull up Google maps to see where you are at in the videos. Until then, I hope you don't mind if I live vicariously through you. 😂😂😂

[@Bushradical]

Thanks James, I'm glad you enjoy the travel vids. They are fun to shoot for sure.

[@novastones8914]

Aawww man thats awsome..

[@Bushradical]

Thanks

[@mrnelson1911]

Nice relaxing music to accompany your nice relaxing video.

[@Bushradical]

Don't listen too close to the guitar music its full of mistakes.

[@kevintulak9987]

Nice to see your version of the trip, I see Brooke had the decency to not streak in the back ground of your video like you did in hers. Looks like it was great time. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bushradical]

You know she edited her video too and could have left that out...........but she didn't. LOL It was a good time for sure.

[@aksalaman4689]

Great trip you guys. Nice contrast to the two videos. I'm also finally going to join the club.

[@Bushradical]

Thanks. What club?

[@aksalaman4689]

I subscribed to the Bushradical club, finally.

[@Bushradical]

Well thanks!!

[@ericgrinstead52]

If a knife can make Rainier Beer taste good, that's one hell of a knife! lol
