Happy Birthday! - Nation Lakes by canoe EPISODE 8

This is episode 8 in the story of three Dutch guys (and a dog!), their friendship and a plan that took the better part of a decade to come together. We went on a two week canoe trip on the Nation Lakes in BC, Canada.
And the kicker?
On the day of our departure most of us didn't know we were going on this adventure!
In this episode we take a rest day and treat ourselves to a fancy breakfast (yes, pancakes are fancy in the back country!) because a birthday needs celebrating and spend a day recovering from the hard paddle the day before.
We then take off for the last stretch of the Nation River, which is very beautiful, to arrive at Chuchi Lake, the last lake of the Nation River Canoe Route.

It took someone with European sensibilities to FINALLY add the right music to a great canoe trip episode! Thank you!

🤣 Why, thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed the episode, though now I'm nervous about my music choices for the other ones. I hope they'll pass muster, too...! 😉

@@adventureben22 no worries there. Good luck on your channel….

With only one or two trips per year and long format videos it is slow going, but it is a lot of fun, so I keep chipping away at it. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos, it is very much appreciated!
