Superb landscape !!!!!! What happiness ,, Thanks for the moment, beautiful video

[@GRSRiverrider]

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, this national park is arguably the prettiest place in the province of Saskatchewan.

[@aprilz6540]

Thank you for sharing this. I found your videos last fall, and they absolutely sustained me through the winter. In a loud world, your videos are such a welcome reprieve. Again, thank you.

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thank you! That's quite the review. Mission accomplished!

[@stillrandy]

I've got to hand it to you. You have put together a video that is well worth watching and clearly shows the reasons why it's good to get out there. Paddling is my passion. I look forward to next season. Thank EH!

[@GRSRiverrider]

Well, thanks for watchin', eh!

[@DennisRogersFeatheryournest]

Nice relaxing vid... Nice to see some Saskatchewan water again. Back in the 70's I lived in Saskatchewan and canoed the Churchill around Otter Rapids for a number of years. Great Province and Great River. Thanks for posting this....

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thank you!

[@paddlesupriver2875]

Beautiful country and an excellent video!! Thanks for sharing. 🛶

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks for watching and the great review!

[@billygoatfilms7531]

A beautiful film which was mesmerising to watch. Coming from the UK I envy you those wide open and remote rivers. This is a 5 star film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks for the great rating! Remote waterways we do have plenty of. This province of Canada has roughly 100,000 lakes!

[@rickgreen9936]

Your videos are excellent, thank you.

[@GRSRiverrider]

Wow, Thanks!

[@RandallW20]

Just gained another sub right here. Very peaceful and great quality vid. Great stuff man!

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks! It was very quiet there. Very peaceful for sure.

[@rickfine822]

thanks again Sask.....................really enjoy it!

[@GRSRiverrider]

Appreciate that you're checking out all the videos. Thanks!

[@NatureIntoAction]

appreciate the silence in your videos. captures the peacefullness of tripping.

[@GRSRiverrider]

I like it too. After all, what could I say that would make it any better? The quietness of nature is a part of that reprieve from daily life.

[@jimhanson7476]

Very good video, what a amazing trip... Thx jim

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks for the compliment. It was a fun, short, and easy trip to do.

[@chuckrobb5885]

I ran across your channel while looking at some old Bill Mason video. I would say your in some pretty good company. Great work !

[@GRSRiverrider]

Well that's nice to hear. Thanks for checking out my channel!

[@wrzlgummidge7663]

Very relaxing vid, nicely shot. thanks

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@mattvaandering]

on one hand, i hate to put any emphasis on gear. but on the other hand i just wanna say i love your style with all the muted colors. most modern gear is so bright and out of place in the wild. love your vids

[@GRSRiverrider]

I agree, modern bright hiking gear just doesn't fit the atmosphere of the outdoors. If I got lost though I'm sure I'd be wishing I had a bright piece of clothing. Just can't bring myself to wear that stuff. Thanks for watching.

[@manfredhuber5120]

WOW very nice Video thx.

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks for watching!

[@BushcraftSweden]

My third of your video tonight , really happy i found you!

[@GRSRiverrider]

I'm happy you stayed to watch! Thanks.

[@highlandtrekker]

Another good one ! Is that a new paddle you're using ?. Thanks for sharing

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thank you! It is a new paddle I purchased this spring. This was my first outing with it. Never had the canoe going so fast before. It's a Maskwa Paddle Co. Voyageur.

[@bryansromalski8171]

Great Video!

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks for watching!

[@peterbernard856]

AN OTTER-TAIL PADDLE USING THE CANADIAN STROKE IN A 16 FOOT PROSPECTOR HOW CANADIAN LOVE IT

[@GRSRiverrider]

It just seems to work out that way. Thanks for watching!

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

You have a good eye for "style" and by that I'm not talking about the cut of your jeans but rather the way you film and edit your videos. I like how you set the camera ahead of you frequently and then paddle/potage through the frame. I need to try this in my videos. I did it once as I peddled a bicycle past the iPhone in my hunting video but it didn't look as good as your material. You are obviously using a lot higher quality cameras than I now posses but that may change soon if I sell a kidney as planned (joke). Also the more intense music near the end of this video with the faster paced footage of you paddling past the shoreline was pretty cool (though the slower clips with the eery music or guitar picking are great too). I just posted a Halloween themed canoeing video yesterday and reference your channel at about the 49 minute mark. There's not many people watching my videos but maybe I can send a few your way. Cheers.

[@GRSRiverrider]

When I place the camera for those "drive by's" I'm usually paddling up to and attaching the camera to a fallen tree or branch. In this video the GoPro that was used to film this had a gorillapod tripod that I could wrap the legs around a branch. As for the music, I think I know which tune you're talking about and I've debated using that one over in future videos. I like the build up. Thanks for the nice comment!

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

@@GRSRiverrider Since the music you are using is instrumental and not easily recognizable I'm sure you could get away with using the same composition on other videos. Plus you have published quite a few videos so I'd be surprised if anyone noticed you'd used a tune twice. If you had 4-5 videos and used the same song in each it would be noticed. There's an artist named "Bassnectar" who's music might fit your videos. I was thinking about using some of his stuff in my videos. Great videos!

[@BrodyToYou]

Well done. Time for a gear video!

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks! That's a big maybe on the gear video though.

[@kurtbaier6122]

Enjoyed it brother. Just sub'd.

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks!

[@dansarette101]

Could tell me the make and model of the knife you were using st camp?

[@GRSRiverrider]

Sure. It's an ESEE-6. It's my wood processing knife for camping when I bring the big axe. When I take the hunting axe you see in this video the knife becomes redundant. I like this knife and was willing to carry it.

[@johnwinnerdz1]

oops I didn't proof read it. I made mistakes clearly marked out thought.

[@CanadianSledDog]

I don't know why people feel inclined to complain about the music or the lack of talking, if it's not their style of video, that's their loss! Nobody needs their unpopular opinions. Some people like a lot of talking, some want no talking, some don't like music, I often get bored without music.

[@GRSRiverrider]

I've received a few comments like that. I like a large variety of music styles, but I don't think the styles I choose are tolerable to some. I watched this video without music several times when I did the editing and it just didn't feel as good to watch without. Thanks for watching!

[@CanadianSledDog]

@@GRSRiverrider this is just my preference, but I find that when the music stops or starts, the contrast between music and none keeps my attention.

[@mplsmark222]

I can see in the frame there is a PFD in the boat, but what good does that do you? Alone out in the wilderness, what happens when things go wrong and you end up in the water? I’ll never understand why people choose to not do the simplest, common sense things to protect themselves. “Good swimmers” drown all the time.

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

I don't like all of that silence. Talk to us sometimes, please. I think you would get more subscribers because you have the views.

[@GRSRiverrider]

I do have a great set of subscribers and frequent commenters. What would you like to hear me talk about? I had one suggestion that I do a review of my gear. Wouldn't suit the mood though.

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

​@@GRSRiverrider I actually would respectively disagree with the above comment. The silent format with the mysterious music is what makes your videos stand out. KZbin has enough "experts" jabbering on and on about various subjects. Your videos are unique. Don't change a thing.

[@jaywinters2483]

Music ruined it👎 exiting out now.

[@GRSRiverrider]

Thanks for checking it out anyway.

[@puddlejumper-sk]

Bahahahah.....@JayWinters, do you just go around and tell everyone that you don't like the music? Is that your thing?
