congratulations and beautiful photography

[@davidhale7760]

Beautiful presentation, well done

[@rickquackenbush3260]

I just found this video. I think you captured every moment perfectly. From the morning paddles to the fabulous sunsets and everything in between......thank you for sharing. Oh congratulations !

[@brianwofford3831]

Thanks for the great video. The filming is very good. The Merrimack definitely adds to the whole video. I enjoy the campsite shots a lot. I am glad you found the area. I have done that route several time over the years. I am from Tennessee and have been going since 1969. I have only missed seven summers in all those years.

Good job on this video I really enjoyed it! I have this EP scheduled for June.

[@darrelhawthorne743]

Beautiful video! Well done and congrats! I have a Merrimack Souhegan and plan on making it up there this September for our 30 anniversary.

[@GratefulTrekker]

You had some epic shots nice I gave a sub and recently did a BWCA vid myself keep on keeping on

[@thirdrockjul2224]

Well done.

[@SouthernPaddler]

Fantastic, video!! Amazing scenery and you captured it perfectly. Also, Parkview Porter is my favorite! 👍👊

[@douglasstevenson4553]

That was beautiful. Thank you for the silence. we could see you were bothhappy.

[@Chris-sf7ug]

Nice video, you should do another longer one! Need to get back up there with all my old boy scout buddies from when we went back in school.

[@mrgjoe]

Great video, love Merrimack and congrats on your engagement!

[@ben2thewild]

Thank you!

[@mrgjoe]

@@ben2thewild how do you like that canoe? I really love their solo, hope to buy one at some point.

[@ben2thewild]

@@mrgjoe I really love it. It handles great tandem or solo. The trip in this video was my first trip with it. I figured there’s not a better place to break it in and go ahead and get some scratches on it.

[@mrgjoe]

@@ben2thewild I saw that you had picked it up and headed right to the BWCA. Glad to hear you love it and at some point I might have to do exactly what you did. Thanks for the insight!

[@dennisley3553]

At about minute 8:40, you stayed at a campsite that had a wonderful beach; Which lake was that? And, Which campsite? Thanks.

[@jerryl6567]

Planning a trip to the BWCA. Been there before and your videos remind me how enjoyable it is there. Oh, and by the way, great place to propose.

[@jroettger1]

Good job on capturing the quietude of the BWCA. Too many load it up with babble and music.

[@canoeman1961]

Beautifully filmed. Lots to see. It was over all too soon.

[@robertwhite1810]

Beautifully shot.

[@PaddlingTramp]

Nice canoe trip and beatiful nature! PT

[@CollegevilleJohnnie]

Nice proposal! Just back from Kawishiwi. 🐸

[@ben2thewild]

Thats another beautiful trip!

[@jonasf4065]

How do you like the Prospector 16? I am considering either Merrimack's Prospector or their 17 foot Traveler.

[@neillyons8680]

hey great video and congrats! do you recommend this route? also, how were the bugs? was this late or early july? thank you!

[@ben2thewild]

Thank you! It was a fun route but definitely has several long portages. The bugs were definitely not as bad as I expected. We had a couple of portages where they were bad but overall I can’t complain. This was late July.

[@geoffschoenhofen9283]

How long did it take them to build it, or.. in other words, when did you order your canoe? Or did you just order one that was already in stock?

[@ben2thewild]

They typically take 6 weeks to build but they did a huge sale when the pandemic first started and they received a ton of orders so mine took longer. Mine took around 12 weeks.

[@geoffschoenhofen9283]

@@ben2thewild Ah ok, so I put my order in right about the same time as you did yours ;) April 22nd.

[@saykhamsot1748]

Which entry point is this

[@ben2thewild]

We put in at entry point 14 (Little Indian Sioux River)

[@paulhubert3882]

As others have said, thanks SO much for the absence of music and dialog.

[@ben2thewild]

Thank you Paul!

[@Sayitaint_So]

interesting photography in such a serene setting but lacks an historical perspective for my type ... very luvy dovy stuff ...

[@sandsock]
