I watched and loved both versions. Epic! 40+ portages, Yikes!! At age 73 the ability to do that is in the far distant past. I am so glad to have fellas like you to keep those old memories alive. Thank you!

[@melarch.5424]

Don't sell yourself short, man! I'm 76 and did 3 trips last year each for 3 days with portages between 100m and 650m, soloing. Nothing this year yet because I went to South America to the Amazon and Galapagos Islands.

Back in the 80’s I went to Northland college (Ashland, wisco) and canoed Lake Superior. Later worked in a Wisconsin boys camp and we canoed up in Canada. I bicycled most of the United States and a little in Canada. That seems like a long time ago. All that said….Now I am permanently disabled and I can’t even walk out of my house without crippling pain. So watching your videos which bring back great memories. Those memories are some of the best I ever had. Now you guys get to do it and I am just along for the ride. Love it!

[@LostLakes]

I feel for you my friend...glad you can come along with us!

[@Drewcrown1998]

@@LostLakes thanks! Btw, it’s been 30+ years since I have been canoeing probably pretty close to where you guys are in this video. I was a canoe tripper for a group of 14 year olds. 90 miles north of Upsula. Half through the trip the boys and I were hiking and found an old Sesna plane that crashed. I remember it was yellow and white. It crash probably in the 70’s. Have you ever seen anything like that?

What a great way to spend an evening: watching another wonderfully produced outdoor experience. What a great place. You two are a great team. You make a wonderful (wilderness) couple. If ever it doesn't work out with Erin .... just saying ! When you explained the wonderful smells on the portage, the pines, labrador tea, etc., I can just imagine. The only thing missing was the disclaimer. "unless you're following closely behind Xander". That was a wonderful paddling demonstration by Xander at around 16:00 minutes - made me think, "Bill Mason ... on acid." Thanks boys ... until the next time.
