INJURED and ALONE - Day 48 SOLO CANOEING across CANADA - Season 2 - Episode 20

[@kingsolvideo]

Meeting Tom was really nice to meet a positive person like him. To see him continue his trip with the injury was worrying for Renée and I. But with his spirit we knew he would know how to take care. And making that last paddle all the way to the Pas was amazing not many have done that 🤝

[@tmarguies]

Wow, the size of the Wolf prints is enormous! Thank you for sharing the beautiful people/Canadian connections you make along the way.

[@user-Jo915]

Thank you Solomon and Renee for looking after our boy Tom. Have an awesome Christmas. Tom look after that knee bro that looks sore as. Travel safely ❤❤

Hey Tom hope the knee feels better soon.

[@petegrimwood8160]

Oh man, watching you get into that boat was no joke. As somebody who had knee surgery just over a year ago, I hope you got an mri on that thing when you got back.

[@paulhellewell9468]

Doing anything physical with any limb on the mend from any kind of injury, can be a real toil. Hopefully it will go down in swelling as you continue, or you may need to lay up a few days in order to rest it. Feel better buddy, looking forward to next week to see your experience with the wolves or coyotes.

[@rickspratt-yg3if]

I hope your knee gets better. Looks like you are getting to another province.Stay safe

[@esmith1771]

Another great episode Tom! So sorry about your knee. (I know that was months ago now). Hoping all is well with you. Merry Christmas!

[@jodymooney255]

Great episode Tom! Sending healing thoughts to you!

[@sgchevy1]

Missing your ukulele and singing! Hope you can break a song out soon!

[@robanddompattie5153]

Well, even with your knee being so bad you are doing well. Nice to see the new energy, it must be the weather. Becareful of the wolves as they seem to be quiet big. Great vid and nice fish too. Paddle safe

[@virginiaellis9245]

Beautiful moon in the background from 23:10:. Another wonderful episode! Thank you so much for taking us along with you. ❤ I'm hopeful your knee improves a whole lot overnight but for sure hopefully, throughout the next week.

[@hanleycc]

Yikes huge footprints!! It sucks that your knee is giving you a hard time... Such a huge day you had today... truly enjoy all the drone shots, gives us a sense of where you are.... love following your journey...safe travels tomorrow.

[@hippyhay1659]

Nice video. Old river paddler's advice when paddling controlled rivers: "Beach your canoe higher up the bank than your tent". Best of luck, and don't let the mozzies carry you off!!

[@xmarksthespot5188]

With swollen body parts , elevation and compression are your best friends . Sleep with your legs elevated then wrap it up to compress it during the day . Excellent video !

[@mommie2492]

Love watching your channel every Saturday morning. Stay safe.

hope your knee gets better soon Tom, take care! Almost 90 K subscribers! that's going great to!

[@mbee6256]

Sorry about your knee. Hope you made a speedy recovery and it’s all healed now? You’re looking healthy otherwise though eh? You can see the increased definition in your arms already here. Godspeed wherever you are and Merry Christmas!

[@Skinnerbek]

A very good episode, Tom!! Careful with your knee!!

[@JayDeeMC]

When you sat down, I felt my own knee when I injured it when I was 24. It was a muscle tear, though. It was stiff and big until I was 28, when I moved to Japan and lived at the top of a hill. That daily walk up the hill strengthened the damaged muscle so much that the muscles that were compensating went back to normal. It will occasionally swell up and hurt when it's winter, though. And amazing stay with Solomon and Renee!

Sorry to hear about that knee of yours. I’d be looking into getting some anti inflammatory medicine like Neproxen. Best of luck. 🇨🇦

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Great drone footage. Walleye is delicious. 🎣 I hope that when you get back to civilization, you didn't drink beer. I've never met a non-beer drinking male with gout. Too much uric acid is a killer. I feel for you. Thanks for sharing. 🛶

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

I set a challenge for myself.. not to drink a beer until I get to Montrea. So thats not an option 😊l

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

@WhatInTheWorld_Tom 👍, BTW, you're building some strong guns. 💪

[@stephenwalker1943]

Looks like drivers knee, I have the same issue. Caused by tendonitis and bursitis inflammation from sitting for long periods, and age of course, not that I'm calling you old! Get a hit of advil, or if you can a more powerful NSAID and it should clear up in a few days. Of course ice and elevate

[@IndyMapper]

What is that on the side of the bank right at 16 minutes?!! Looks like a blue cooler which I wasn't expecting in the middle of nowhere. I've been following since you were around 14k subscribers and every week I'm so hopeful you've made it to the 100k subscriber milestone - so close! Another thing I noticed, just starting at this video I think, is that there were a few ads! Maybe 4 or 5 of them, they were all super short. I was sure to let them play all the way through, hoping that helps you in some monetized way. Thanks for sharing your journey. I look forward to the new episodes every week!

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

Yes it was a cooler. At times I pass areas like that where people have camped in the past and have unfortunately left things behind. Yes the 100k milestone isn't too far away! At this rate it will be February I think 🙂

[@TimoBlacks]

Send him a few bucks. That will be way more than what gets from ads. I will give you a link to send it too. ThankYou, WhatInTheWorld Support Team

[@TimoBlacks]

@@WhatInTheWorld_Tom PS Tom, we got the cooler outa there!

[@marydesousa5981]

Another great vid - I love starting my Saturday mornings with you, Tom. I’m feeling your pain, my trout - I’ve had both my knees replaced 😬. Looking forward to next Saturday! The preview is intriguing!

[@nd7424]

Here in Aus watching a Kiwi in Canada ! Love the adventure mate !

[@jonathanscott550]

Gout ouch. Yea I get Gout on my right and left toes not fun. You had a enjoyable canoe ride this video it seems. I never really thought about the rising water of a river due to the dams, but it's something new to me that I learnt through watching your video's. It did look as though the swelling of your knee went down throughout the day and the movement got easier. Hoe the mosquito's weren't a nuisance over night for you as you did pitch your tent in the long grass. Okay Tom catch you on your next video. cheers, but as you are a New Zealander I'll say "CHUR"!

[@darnold4268]

Hi Tom! I hope all is well, for you! My mom used to suffer with gout. It's definitely not a fun situation, from what I've been told. There wasn't much that could be done to have any form of comfort. My moms started in her feet & worked its way a little up her leg. Thank you, yet again, for sharing your journey, with us. Feel better soon!

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

Gout is horrible! When I do get it, it's normally in my big toe, and it is excruciating!! In the past, I've been lying on the floor in tears with the pain! I don't recommend it. But this is the first time I've experienced it in my knee, which also indicated to me that it may not be gout (hint hint) and could be something more serious

[@darnold4268]

@@WhatInTheWorld_Tom I was going to recommend wrapping it with an ace bandage... However, if it's gout, that wouldn't be very good advice. Have you checked for any spider bites or something you may have, unbeknownst to you, been allergic to?

[@Willrocs]

@@WhatInTheWorld_Tom1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 8oz of water they say 8 times a day

[@coreymadigin3367]

you should carry some Cherry juice or some Tart Cherry Pills to help with gout flair ups!!

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

I do have gout pills if necessary which i started taking.. but something tells me this isn't gout...

[@gregstewart5081]

Have you looked ahead to Manitoba & what route you’re taking? Theres a ton of huge lakes & rivers definitely wanna plan route

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

Yes 🙂 The route is to cross Cedar Lake, through Grand Rapids, then all the way down Lake Winnipeg, aka Big Windy. Arriving at Winnipeg River

[@gregstewart5081]

@ hope you have some winter clothes lol will be getting winter weather.

[@stephenmacleod8524]

Another great episode Tom!

[@katymitchell8200]

😮 that's a pretty significant cellulitis, concerning left thigh to below the knee. I'm a 60yo, retired man RN in critical care. Gout often flares up with increased uric acid it could be something you ate, like pork or rabbit

[@soundtempleAU]

16:01 you left your esky :)

[@chickadeeacres3864]

Manitoba should be interesting with all the lakes there. I’d love to try kayaking, then try a trip.

[@jabjab1010]

I think you need to get as close to town as possible and thee to a doctor. Knee pain that is extreme while about 1/2 done with your trip is a recipe for no fun. GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!

[@SimonPower65]

Hi Tom. Hopefully your knee got better quickly. Don't think you'd be comfy in a hoody just now over there. Enjoying this series very much here in Scotland. Slangevar. 🍺❤️

[@vynleshmynle7372]

I’ll take injured and alone any day over naked and affraid .

[@darlene9154]

That knee does Not look like bursitis. That looks like it might be a spider bite. Red and swollen. Canada does have some spiders that can give you a very nasty bite. Brown recluse and the Hobo are 2 of the bad ones.

[@shayneanderson4654]

Fight through the pain tom From Elliot

[@marythomas5656]

Wow, was that poison ivy where the stake was hammered into the ground? Sure looked it to me. Hope your knee is better soon.

[@nikkihoo627]

Hiya Tom! Some irony for ya, you hobbled past several plants&trees that would have helped you with the knee pain and swelling.

[@Tracy_R]

Renee and Solomon are beautiful people. What a treat to be able to experience their campsite. I wonder how much vitamin C you're getting in your diet during your travels. I understand you had previous issues with gout, but i'm still curious how much vitamin C you're you're taking on your travels?

[@KayKates]

Soak the knee in cold water and then pack it with river mud

[@mommie2492]

I use Vicks Vapor Rub on my muscle aches. It works wonders.

[@leroysmith8203]

Tom, would it help to wrap your knee? Great video.. 🤓🛶

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

Yes 🙂 wrap and elevate. I'm not sure why I didn't think to wrap it. I do have a medical kit with me.. but elevating it wasn't an option. The Pas is 2.5 days away, so my goal is to get there as fast as possible and see a doctor

[@IrelandCarlson]

Get well soon ❤​@@WhatInTheWorld_Tom

[@WildBORProductions]

👍👍

[@CynLeeAm]

Could be arthritis in your knee flaring up 😞 it actually looks like rheumatoid arthritis. I have that and it looks like how my knees get.

[@donnadubie9294]

If it's rheumatoid arthritis you must stay away from nightshade plants and things like tomatoes it will flair you up 🙏

[@HappyComfort]

The second time you showed your knee it didn’t look as red👍

[@sophrosyne5900]

Castor oil packs will help your knee .

[@HappyComfort]

Gout is definitely affected by certain foods. 🤔

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

For sure.. though, I usually only get "emotional gout".. when I'm going through a stressfull difficult time in my life e.g when my dad suddenly passed away. I've never had it from having a poor diet.. that's why I'm questioning whether it's gout. Gout was my first assumption 😊

[@barbaraweigel9831]

I just found out that I might have gout in my foot. I am enjoying your journey so much. Stay safe.

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

@barbaraweigel9831 uff! I'm sorry to hear. I'm glad you're enjoying the trip 🙂

[@lindamedders6700]

Hope you wake up and the knee swelling has gone down.

[@KIRALYW]

Aww Tommo, there is nothing worse than a dicky knee. You need a serious massage, & perhaps some physiotherapy, after the battering your body is going through. You’re a trooper mate. Some stunning footage throughout this entire video too. Can’t wait for next week. Be well. 👍🏽

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

For sure my arms have taken a battering! That's why it's bizarre that it's my knee that gets the first injury! If it was going to be a joint, you would think it would be my elbow or shoulder.. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@KIRALYW]

@ that’s probably a blessing, that it’s not your arms. Depends how you wanna look at it. But I have a dicky knee & can relate as to how inconvenient it is. It also puts my spine out of whack.

[@bencollyer2296]

Mate you need to start running these rapids just keep it straight is the main thing the 1st time you went in you lost control and wen down the smallest rapid sideways that’s why you went in com on bro

[@WhatInTheWorld_Tom]

I hear ya. That mistake cost me $10,000. If I have another one of those mistakes, my trip is over. I'm not sure if people know it or not, but i have my whole life in that canoe.. everything I own is in there. It's not so easy to make that "oh who cares" type decision out there. If I was on a day paddle, and had 2 working knees, 100% I would go full speed ahead!
