12-Day / 375km Solo Canoe Trip in the Yukon Wilderness | Part 2: Storms

Welcome to an unforgettable journey deep into the Yukon wilderness, just 500km south of the Arctic Circle! Over 12 incredible days, join me on this solo, unsupported 375km paddling expedition that will leave you breathless and inspired.
🚣‍♂️ With just over 2 years of paddling experience, I tackle the untamed wilderness, starting from Quiet Lake and concluding the expedition in Carmacks. This solo adventure is packed with awe-inspiring moments, from conquering 3 lakes to navigating 2 powerful river systems: the Big Salmon and the mighty Yukon itself.
🎣 Get ready for a true outdoor enthusiast's dream! I encounter and cook up beautiful fish such as trout, grayling, and pike, indulging in the taste of freshly caught grayling, fried to perfection. It's a wilderness culinary experience you won't want to miss!
🌦️ Mother Nature doesn't hold back, and neither do I. Experience the thrill of facing intense weather, including lightning storms, hail, and heavy rain, where setting up camp becomes a race against time. Some days, I succeed; others, I embrace the wild rain.
🦟 The mosquito-infested first 4-5 days will have you living vicariously through my bug jacket as I battle clouds of persistent mosquitoes attacking any exposed skin, a testament of resilience.
🪵 Logjams become formidable obstacles this year, requiring portaging through thick willow, brush, and undergrowth. These challenges test my mettle, making every paddle stroke a victory.
💫 My spirits run high throughout the trip as I discover breathtaking camp spots, including picturesque river islands that offer open-air bliss and respite from the mosquitoes. The deep silence and solitude of this pristine wilderness create moments of absolute bliss.
🌅 With the Yukon sun rising before 5 am and setting after 11 pm, the long paddling days are filled with opportunities to explore crystal-clear mountain creeks, go fishing, or simply bask in the purity of the wilderness. Sunny days mean swimming, laundry, and immersion in nature's beauty.
🔥 Distant wildfires add a touch of surreal beauty, filling the air with a hazy, smoky atmosphere that enhances your sensory experience. I take advantage of open sites to enjoy panoramic views and even set up my hammock in treed areas for stunning river views from my sleeping quarters.
🦅 Wildlife enthusiasts will be thrilled! Witness over 10 beavers, chipmunks, woodpeckers, otters, ospreys, and the majestic bald eagles. Plus a graceful black bear crossing the river!
🎣 Fishing enthusiasts, you're in for a treat! I caught over 15 grayling, trout, and several pike during this epic solo journey.
Join me on this exhilarating adventure of a lifetime as I shatter the boundaries of my comfort zone. The Yukon wilderness is waiting to be explored, and if I can do it solo, so can you! Hit that subscribe button, and let's embark on this unforgettable journey together!

I’ve just starting watching adventure videos. I like to spend a lazy day watching these as I relax. My favorite 3 are Lost lakes, Xander Budnick, and Eze adventurer. You deserve many more subscribers and they will come with quality content like this. Just an amazing job with the trip and the production of the video.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much I'm also a big fan of lost lakes and Xander! I appreciate the support and happy to hear you like the adventures!

Also worth checking out Jim Baird, Joe Robinet and Tumblehome

why have you only got 11.1k subscribers? your content is amazing and deserves a lot more subs than you have right now! iv been watching your videos on repeat and your caricature addictive to wo watch. never stop making these videos for so many people like myself to watch and feel inspired

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thank you!! I appreciate it!! I do feel the same way that the sub count should be much higher by now, but I hope the algorithm will catch up eventually!! 😂😂 Either way, it’s comments like these that propel me forward, more than the numbers sometimes 😃 Appreciate it !

That has to be one of the best videos I've ever watched on KZbin mate. That entire scene of getting off the water to set up camp, watching the clouds roll in and the rain approach. You had Laura shouting at the TV "He's left the lid off his barrel" Then when the storm hit, on my word! Top class filming.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thank youuuuuu!! hahaha yeah apparently quite a few people have been shouting at the TV re the barrel lid LOL!!!! So silly hahaha but honestly was one of the best moments of the trip, man I felt so alive there and so grateful my tent had held up and my canoe was still with me!

Edit and music perfectly done. I got to sleep amongst beaver on a river here in the UK this week, my new second favourite animal.

[@RnRMonster]

I have really been enjoying watching your Yukon trip videos. THANKS! Someone may have suggested this ny now, but if you orient your tent and canoe parallel to the wind, it will be much less likely to cause damage, allow rain into your tent or send your canoe into the river. See you on the water Cheers!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much yes indeed the tent orientation should have been parallel, I was so caught up in filming and scrambling with every minute counting that I barely had time to think at all (hence forgetting the barrel open lol!). Glad you liked it and hope to see u on the water!

I'm looking at Jim Baird's trip in Yukon at the same time , but you beat him 10 to nothing for entertainment , even if I like him a lot . When I saw you in the tent during the hail storm and filming , I saw the barrel open , I was yelling , " the barrel the barrel ! " When I saw no movement from you to go outside and close it , I said to myself , it must be empty ...oupsy, it was not 🫣 . Looking forward for the next one , thanks!

Welcome to wonderful Canadian weather, gotta love it! It can be quite scary though. I was on a smallish mountain range once when on a multi-day backpacking trip and was stormed stayed due to a hurricane that passed by off shore. I must admit though, as scary as it was, it was exhilarating! I am betting this will be a trip you will never forget and perhaps you will go back! I hear once the Yukon gets a hold on you, it is not easy to separate from it. It is definitely on my bucket list, let's hope I get the chance! Wonderful Part 2, thanks for sharing. :) :)

[@advanturecantstop901]

last weekend i was for 3 nights at wilderness..it was less rain but more wind..we setup tent feet side against to wind..that point more safe and less shake..because feet side more narrow than head side..and you should turn your canoe narrow side against to wind that point will not move

Looks like you had the time of your life! That wild mixed weather is the best kind you can have - for all those beautiful shots you got but also just to be there as the weather changes is so beautiful. I used to use the same tent back when I only had one dog, so I'm very familiar with that view! Great job on the fishing too!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Cheers bud, totally agree. Love the variety of the weather, makes everything so unique and interesting, I loved every second !!! It's a great tent, I think massively underrated given the price. And it's honestly been with me on close to 60+ nights of adventure in very diverse climates, still doing well. Super tent :-)

[@carolwilson9341]

Amazing trip to a very wild part of the world. Having lived in the Yukon for 3 years I certainly felt nostalgic watching. I was a lot concerned by your choices of such open exposed campsites in that weather. That hail storm could have ended your trip. Also surprised that you did not see moose often along the river banks. Looking forward to more!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much! Yeah to be honest the availability of camp sites was quite limited.. and I wanted to keep progressing. Treed campsites were few and far between, and the bugs were pretty horrendous. Yeah the storm could have ended the trip, but the tent did exceptionally well and I was in high spirits for most of it! Me too regarding the Moose, I was expecting to see many

[@DerekSOutdoors]

Pretty nice trip Eze, should bring a small tarp for those sudden rainstorms. Then you don't need to be confined in your tent for cooking 😅

[@EzeAdventurer]

Yeah mate, I was in between bringing my dd 3x3 tarp and the amok hammock one, the extra tarp would have been nice, but to be honest I was happy with what I brought, less faffing around and quick deployment of camp, and packing away etc

[@DerekSOutdoors]

@@EzeAdventurer I hear you! quick deployment and tear down is key especially on trips like this where you covered so much ground. I use a tiny asymmetrical tarp that came from a hammock (Hennessy asym ultralight?? I think??), great thing about is it only has 4 tie out points (ridge line and 2 corners), makes for super easy setup and takedown.

[@EzeAdventurer]

I know exactly the one you mean, I had it too same brand but something chewed the ends off in my garden lol!!@@DerekSOutdoors

Thanks Dave appreciate that!! Yeah they were maddening at times, but became a bit of a constant and wasn't too bad in the end lol

[@bradleyburke4148]

Great work mate and picked the weather twice woohoo do you know the weather in Victoria Australia sat 9th sun 10th haha feel like a camping trip after your inspiration 👍

[@EzeAdventurer]

hahaha thanks so much, I'll pass on any Ozzie forecasts for now :-) YESS GO CAMPING - you will feel good!

[@maxineredfern3380]

❤ fantastic eze, thanks for sharing this trip with us as most of us will never get to experience a adventure like this. Who needs a Wilson when you have a Bethany 😂😂. Those storms looked epic. Maxx

[@EzeAdventurer]

Hahah exactly Bethany was such great company! She had strong character, but we got along. Thanks so much for coming along the adventure and for your support as always. It means a lot to me, you've been supporting me since day one.

[@maxineredfern3380]

@@EzeAdventurer rrrr thanks eze, I love yr chanel, as long as your putting your adventure for us to see I will be watching lol. Maxx

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thank you 🙂!!!@@maxineredfern3380

[@ADVENTUREISMADE]

Mate what an adventure so far! Absolutely loving the series so far 👌🏻 some beauty fish caught bud, and that greyling in the fish crisp looked unreal. Are you even in Canada if you don't get caught in an epic storm haha 😂😂 looking forward to the next installment bud 🤜🏻🤛🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks mattttyyyy!! what an epic adventure dude... I'm slowly starting to shift my attention to the "what's next" feeling now... oh no... here we go again lol! Def not a true Canadian experience without epic storm lol. Final Part 3 coming up next Sunday xx

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Eze, it’s rain, not lava! Put on your rain gear and paddle. It’s a river not some huge wide lake. *okay, that one at 1:09:00 I’d have sought shelter for absolutely! 22:30 isn’t it funny how the more firewood you saw, the longer the pieces get? 😆

[@EzeAdventurer]

Yeah it's not so much the rain itself, it's more the threat of what's possibly coming, and some stretches of 10-15km without any proper shelter / camping options can make you nervous about continuing on the river etc! haha re the firewood.. totally!

[@sixtydegreesadventures699]

Greetings from Norway! Nice work&hike. Norway next?

[@EzeAdventurer]

Greeetings good sir! Norway is HIGH on the list, I can't wait to visit there, just a matter of time!!

[@MartinHJ]

Very nice, enjoyed part two as much as the first. Can't wait for the next 😊 Funny to see you eat Drytech food from us here in Norway, Real Turmat. It is our go to dry meals of course, never seen it in been used in videos outside of Norway. You use the same paddling gloves as me, you can see them in my Femundsmarka film and some other videos on my channel. Good to see they holding up on a grand expedition in Yukon 👍You should do an adventure here in Norway some day. Have a nice day man 😊

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much my Norwegian friend!! Norway is HIGH on the list of target. I cannot wait to explore and adventure there . Any recommendations? Where is the absolute wildest place to visit there??

[@EzeAdventurer]

Yes gloves doing well! I'll have to check out your video too thank you. and love Real Turmat, just hoping / waiting for them to sponsor me lol

[@MartinHJ]

@@EzeAdventurer Lots of places wich is quite spectacular here in Norway, but the wildest parts of Norway may be Børgefjell or the perhaps some parts of the highlands of Northern Norway. But Jotunheimen National Park and Femundsmarka National Park is a favorite of mine. Since you like to paddle canoe, then I can recommend to drive to Käringsjön in Sweden wich has canoe rental, and start your adventure there and paddle into Norway through Rogen Nature Reserve and Femundsmarka National Park. A fantastic trip wich can be done in a week or so if you take your time and enjoy the fishing and nature.

[@MartinHJ]

@@EzeAdventurer My videos or only in Norwegian though, so I guess it will be difficult to understand :)

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thank you, copy pasting this straight into my notes for potential trips under Norway!!@@MartinHJ

[@illtudjames]

Really enjoying this series!!! What make/model is your chair? Can’t wait for e3

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much my friend! It's the trekology one, really love it! Last episode (part 3) coming this Sunday!

[@esokolowski100]

Would love to get the name of your hammock set up. Wonderful series, great videography. Appreciate you.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much! Check this video out: Amok Draumr 5.0 Review - Best Hammock for Camping? | How to Set Up kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6u0dp6jrJqBa6c

[@tombailey6410]

Great video! Were you worried about rising river levels when camping on that island?

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much, no I wasn't so worried to be honest, I think it would take a lot of rain to move the needle much over this quite large waterway system. The storms tend to be pockets too and they move through the land, so it's not so so much water overall

[@byronwaterman1277]

Another fantastic video, thank you. How much of your equipment did you bring with you from the U.K. As opposed to the a mount you bought or hired at the start of the trip?

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks ! Brought almost everything from UK. Even my own paddles. Hired: Canoe. You can hire tons of kit if you need to

[@davidrobertson606]

What is the make of your sleeping pad and pump to blow it up. It looks very good. You did very well in the hail reading the weather before it hit.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thermarest X-therm, it's the best piece of kit I own, absolutely love it. The pump is by flextailgear Links below: Sleeping Pad - Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm - amzn.to/3xpOVhw Pump Tiny 2X - amzn.to/48TuE5W

[@user-wz2fv6kx5o]

Why didn’t the canoe you rented have a yoke? Fun video!

[@EzeAdventurer]

They accidentally forgot to put it and I didn’t check it ! We are all very excited and talking about river route etc but the company is fantastic, would still use them again super friendly

[@paulkolterman5132]

Very Nice, Well done! What model Wenonah is that?

[@EzeAdventurer]

I forgot the name and I can't seem to find the model anywhere I will double check and revert!

[@MattGoesOutside]

Absolutely loving watching this Eze! Would love to do Yukon in a year or two, wife worried about grizzlies... Out of interest how many gas canisters did you get through? Looks like you were using it twice a day?

[@EzeAdventurer]

Hahah don't worry about the bears, I reckon even the bear spray industry is a bit of BS and moneymaker. Worry about the wet rocks, the axe, the day to day risks! It's so beautiful, really hope you can go. I think I may have used just over one. I had quite a lot left over I think. Bear in mind, I was cooking the most efficient types of food that just required 500ml of boiling water, and occasionally frying some fish. If you plan to eat more "traditional" cooked meals, then you'll need significantly more. Having said that, getting a little fire going or taking a bush box would more than cover the risk of running out of fuel. Plenty of fuel everywhere.

[@MattGoesOutside]

​@@EzeAdventurerAmazing you got through one! On our last trip our large can of propane ran out after about 4 days! Will be taking two cans of Isopropane next time. Would agree on the bears - did you see any?

[@EzeAdventurer]

I saw one black bear about 200m swimming across the river! Wanted to get closer, as the wind was favourable to hide my scent but unfortunately when I got closer he was gone!@@MattGoesOutside

[@MattGoesOutside]

@@EzeAdventurerPretty cool. We had a similar experience (in Wabakimi), but it was too far away to show up on the GoPro.

[@uramag7]

love the videos .. just curious ... dont you think its risky drinking that water without filtering it.. beaver fever would be a rough go out there.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much. Good question and yes it's a risk always. I'm only doing that on creeks that are coming from very high altitude (I check on my maps and can see they come from about 1200m up). The temperature of the water is freezing, indicating v high likelihood that it's coming from snowmelt. (I measured the water temp once and it was 7c, vs the river water being around 18c+). Also, Giardia takes 7-10 days to set in I think. There's always a risk

[@followtheflow6856]

Nice place to be…i love your video make me feel i want to gO!!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Yess that's the idea!! Gooo!!! You can do it!

[@jailen461]

One small tip if you don't mind. I hope it will help you. Take your canoe paddle and put it across your canoe as a yoke. Not as good as a real one but it works. I've done it several times.

[@EzeAdventurer]

Yes definitely a good tip thanks for sharing that!! Didn't think of that at the time!

[@tomaslindqvist2923]

You have really nice channel. Just found it couple of days ago. Question with the maps you are showing at 29:44, from where did you get then?

[@EzeAdventurer]

Thanks so much and welcome aboard! Those maps are by Mike Rourke, they are only available in printed format. I bought from the outfitter in Yukon and they posted to me in UK in advance of my trip so I could prepare

[@Fraggelfluff]

What is that Columbia Hoodie? Where can I get one? I need it 😅

[@EzeAdventurer]

It's freaking awesome, absolutely loved it. So comfy and protected me well. It's the Columbia Men's Terminal Tackle Hoodie Terminal Tackle Hoodie amzn.to/3sYQnIX Runs a quite big, mine is an XS (I'm pretty small). Go for a size down of your usual.

[@eliezersantistebanpaquot7338]

Hola Eze, vi tu video de la patagonia y vi que dominas el español jeje!. ME gustaria preguntarte, una aventura como la tuya, en el Yukon, cuantos dolares te costo la renta de equipo, el traslado al punto de partida con Up North Adventures?, Up North Adventures te da algun equipo de para llamar en caso de emergencia?, Recomiendas que gente sin experiencia haga un viaje solo como tu?. Tengo el plan de ir con mi papa y mi hermano a hacer una aventura como la tuya y las de Jim Baird, creo que si podemos, hemos hecho un poco de Kayak a lso largo de nuestras vidas(no muy seguido, pero no desconocemos). Gracias!

[@EzeAdventurer]

Creo que sin contar pasajes de avión, me costo como 2000-2500 usd. El traslado es lo mas caro para llegar a quiet lake. 100% pueden hacer aventuras. Sin experiencia no se si recomiendo este rio... es bastante remote... pero bueno yendo en grupo aumentan la seguridad muchísimo tmb. No es muy tecnico así que eso es bueno. Hay muchos ríos si no un pelín mas fácil con logísticas mas fáciles tmb como el Nisutlin, Teslin o el Yukon mismo (el Yukon lo hace cualquiera, es muy fácil y lo mas económico en términos de logísticas porque podes empezar directo en whitehorse... pero hay un poco mas de transitó de gente . poco igual dentro de todo pero no estas SOLO solo

[@rajagopalansytbe]

What do you do to avoid bears stealing food from your campsite?

[@EzeAdventurer]

Food barrel and take it 100-200m away from my camp, preferably downwind from my camp. I don't hang it.

[@masterful7574]

Camping on a sandbar is incredibly unsafe in the middle of downpours.

[@EzeAdventurer]

I guess... not sure how quickly these water levels can rise... it's not like it was raining days on end, it was sporadic rain and storm pockets here and there.. my instinct told me I was totally safe, and that's usually what I follow.
