Aubrey Lake / Wenebegon River Loop Day 7 and 8, TROUBLE on the Wenebegon River.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

This entire trip was a blast. It quite literally threw everything it had at us, Good, Bad and Ugly... Special thanks to Jay, Jim and Aaron and let's not forget Mollie and Wiley for being part of this great Canoe Trip. Thank you to everyone who Watched, Liked and Commented. Just an FYI... This is the last video I edited with my old Macbook Pro... time to retire the old piece of crap which has caused me nothing but grief over the last year of editing. I have a new computer (PC) to work with and new Editing Software... Let the games begin... Dennis

Very fun to watch! Thrilling rapids you guys got to do..............You will be hooked for more future WW river trips!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Hey Mike. Thanks for watching. I have always liked white water and am better at it than it looked like in this video. I can however use a bit more experience before I join you and the fellows on the Burt Reynolds Memorial

Great video always a good time to go canoeing love the seenrey!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

You got that right!... Good to see you again DR... been a while.

[@PinetreeLine]

Not for the faint at heart for sure! That was a very wild ride down the river that had a little bit of everything. I thought you guys did great and no damage after the spill. Your footage going through all those rapids Dennis was some of the best I’ve seen this summer, bar none and I watch a lot of canoe videos. Thanks for taking us along your adventure brother! Enjoyed it a lot!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it Doug... need some white water lessons...

[@CrazyAnn]

What a awesome trip you guys have been on. So suddenly you feel like take a bath LOL I loved it , keep posting videos Dennis you doing a really great job with it.. Big hug to you and Molly

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Thanks Ann.I REALLY appreciate you watching...Dennis 😀

[@jaysway2346]

Glad everything was OK and you were able to laugh it off. I'm sure it made for some good banter around the campfire. Filming/editing tips from your channel are really showing in your vids. Great series Dennis👍

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Thanks Jay... Mishaps like the one we had always make for some good conversation around the campfire and well after

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Fantastic trip Dennis! To bad for the dump, looked like you got hung up on a rock or just not enough water, but hey you guys had fun at it😀 gravy on shepherd’s pie! Will be doing that next time👌 Thanks for taking us along👍

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

You got that right! Gravy on Shepherd's pie... My special rendition...Mmmm

Crazy portage into the river but you handled the canoe with ease...awesome! Those Rapids... wow...I was holding my breath....low water and rocks...don’t have to tell us about them lol. Great video!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Yhanks Jonny and Colleen... Loved you your Part 2 on the Pine... sorry about the GoPro

[@tombeckett4340]

My o my you guys sure had your problems. Glad nobody got hurt and you got all your gear back. Thanks 🇨🇦👍 I don’t know if the other guys had the same problem? Thanks again. Cheers.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Thanks Tom 👍 The other boys stayed much Drier than w did but they had a fraction of the weight we did in our canoe and did not have 2 dogs to boot...

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

Rather than a backpack you should train Molly to carry the canoe! Now that would be beneficial indeed. Great video guys. The Wenebegon looks like a great canoeing river. Greetings from Satellite Beach, Florida.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Hello and thanks for watching. I think the river would be better at higher water levels. As for Mollie carrying the canoe... I agree 100%

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

@@CanoehoundAdventures I live and canoe mostly in in Central Florida. The upper St. Johns River (Florida's longest river) fluctuates by about 8 feet in water level between the dry and rainy season each year. I know that almost sounds ridiculous but it's true. Places along the shore I stop and eat my lunch at in April/May are 7-9 feet below the waterline right now. It makes for interesting navigation while on the water.

[@truenorthangler]

That was quite a spill on those rapids, at least the water temps weren’t that bad for hyperthermia. Great way to connect with nature. Great time with the guys.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Thanks Adrian... yes the water teps and the air temps were warm enough that we were ok and not at risk... it was kind of refreshing

[@trishaharrison6183]

What an amazing trip. Although I didn’t hear the excitement in your voices at the end of the rapids like Brad does. Lol Scraped a few rocks in my kayak doing that. Glad everyone and the dogs were safe. Would definitely like to check the area out. It looked magnificent. Thanks for sharing and that Shepard’s pie looked amazing. And yes to the gravy😋😘

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it Trisha...thanks for taking in the entire series. aside from the swim on the Wenebegon... the trip was an adventure I would take on again... Dennis

[@schultzoutdoors8799]

No worries on those rapids Dennis, class II is nothing to shake a stick at, especially with 2 dogs that are constantly shifting weight. You did well.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

oh well. It happens... we got wet then we got dry... fun day after all was said and done

[@BeastlyIronworks]

@@CanoehoundAdventures oh yeah where the hour boxers... lol

[@ThePursuitofPassion]

Oh boy Dennis. When I saw the title, I suspected the rapids may have been the cause. Glad you got out of both scenarios okay. Yup, would highly recommend lessons if you decide to pursue running more rapids. Lots that can go wrong. I gave Brad warnings about the rapids too, because he didn’t think they were a big deal. He quickly found out when he did his trip. Take care. Thanks for sharing.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Thanks 👍 Those rapids were the complete opposite of when Brad runt them and we faced totally different issues. We really are better at white water than it appeared but the low water with boulders just below the surface... over weight canoe with 2 dongs and me in the bow and my partner in the stern was a recipe for destruction... I usually paddle stern. any way it was fun and I will be learning some tonight on my live stream with the Madawaska Kanu Centre on as a guest... hope you can tune in

[@ThePursuitofPassion]

@@CanoehoundAdventures As to the rapids and water levels, for sure different. But a long section with lots of rapids at higher levels means a boulder garden when water is low, which is sometimes worse, as you would have the manuever the canoe significantly more. Anyhow, if you're confident in your skills, disregard my suggestion. All the best.

[@richardwildeman1267]

Wow, awesome trip Dennis, what a hidden jem this place is! I've been extremely intrigued by it since I noticed it on the Chris Mar Adventures' Mississaugi River map I recently bought. I went and watched Brad Jennings trip here as soon as I finished it, and I think I have PTSD from watching him run these rapids in the spring!!! Think I'll avoid the Wenebegon River myself though, and just do a lap around Rocky Island Lake instead, while checking out the beginning of Mississaugi River where there's a bunch of campsites. Thanks for sharing!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Thanks for watching Richard... that was a trip I would do again only covering different areas of Rocky Island Lake

[@ExploreTheBackcountry]

Yeah, that was the trappers trail and not the portage!! It parallels the road for quite bit instead of veering to the river like that one did. I hiked both, got to the drop off and said, "nah, gotta be another way". The portage proper is down the road just a bit more (I signed it from the road too!). Your water would have had to be down 15ft feet for the flat landing there to be that low.... It looks about 2-3ft max. Glad you made it through though!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Hey Brad... we made it through none the less. Yea water levels were down Soooo Low as evident in all my shots. Dude we need to do a trip so you can give me some WW tips... Hey Congrats on your wedding BTW...Dennis

[@prayfornathannatureshow]

Hey Dennis! Enjoyed another trip of yours. Looks like a nice place, but I may need to refresh my canoe skills before I attempt a trip like that. I've tried to do shepherd's pie before but failed. maybe a video on that. Like did you dehyrdate the peas and corn and meat all together or seperate. And where you'd get the potatoes and Gravy? With the lack of freeze dried food this year I think this winter I will give my dehydrated another go. I also should try real bacon out there again, that 10 second bacon ain't the same. Cheers!

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Hi Nathan. My trick to shepherd's pie is to dry all the ingredients separately. then add the portions you want. I will likely do a video on it this fall or early winter. as for the mashed potatoes, you can purchase them at ant grocery store... another great alternative to the potatoes would be rice to turn the dish into Beef vegetables and rice... one last thing... be sure to add 1 beef flavored boulion to the mix for added flavour

[@jimhanson7476]

I agree, whitewater no, but the food...... Experts......

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

You Know it... Need some more lessons I think

[@projectknifehand]

Hell of a trip man. Some day I will do something like that. For now the most I have done are single over nighters on the river. Next summer I think I will hit the same spot I did last time and go further down and add another night. Good show buddy

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

You should James. You will thank yourself. Hey maybe next year the borders will be open and you can come up here for a true Northern Experience...

[@projectknifehand]

@@CanoehoundAdventures yeah that works for me. I do believe it is about an 11 hour drive which is actually not as horrible as I expected it would be.

[@RaindanceBushcraft]

Dennis, some of that rapids action was likely stressful as hell, but it made for great viewing for me! Glad you came out the other side, heh...

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

You and me both Jes... I have done far bigger rapid with far less issues that all of these rapids... Problem was that the water was so low and we kept smashing boulders which throw you off your line and upset the balance of the canoe especially with 2 dogs and all the gear... Thanks for watching

[@AdventuresintheHeartland]

My very first time on a canoe we got stuck sideways on a big rock for abot 5 min but we did get off un harmed... what was boiling in the coffee pot. Was it coffee in a homemade bag?

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Ye sit was coffee in a filter bag similar to what you get at a Motel

[@MattHaughn]

Scary moment! Glad you made it out okay. Too bad you didn’t have a second camera pointing backwards to see how far over you went.

[@CanoehoundAdventures]

Not enough cameras I always say
