[@gaiaocracy]

The People of Haida Gwaii, their culture and art, the moss covered trees and the beautiful forests of Haida Gwaii inspired one of Canada's most famous artists, Emily Carr. Curiously enough, her art was transformed by her introduction to the works of Vincent, who is of your heritage. Emily traveled solo to the islands where you have ridden Alaska. It's poetic. Solo traveling White women on the same islands, separated by a hundred years. Emily with canvas and oils, you with motorcycle, camera and video --both of you artists bound by the beauty of Earth. Happy Trails!

Between deciding where you are going to go, then planning the trip to where you want to go, then taking said trip and having to change your plan when the roads get bad, then finding a place to eat and sleep and get your hair done. Then you have to find time to edit your videos, and you do a tremendous job of that. I just want to know what you do with all the spare time you have to just goof off and do nothing. There are not enough words in the English language for me to be able to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I'm 71 years old and you and your courage inspire each and every time. When my wife comes in and wants to talk to me I tell her she will have to wait a minute because I am watching Itchyboots. She understands and waits and then wants me to tell her what you did on that video. Thanks for all you do.

[@valerieparr4454]

Haida Gwaii is considered the Galápagos Islands of Canada as during the last ice age the ice didn’t reach the islands, so it was a fauna and flora refugia. The bears have evolved to be bigger than on the mainland and the deer much smaller. When we first visited I thought all the deer were babies! Unfortunately there is overpopulation of deer, which love to eat the seedlings of the iconic Western Red Cedar.

[@mchozen2958]

Is that why I didn’t see HUGE trees like the ones I’ve seen on VanIsle’s west coast?

[@Mythos131]

i was wondering why we only saw baby deer, or so I thought

[@davidmarshall718]

@@mchozen2958 --- You did not see any huge trees in this video because most of them on Graham Island were logged out from 1940 - 2010. There were massive stands of trees before that rivalling the Redwoods of California. The Gwaii Hannas National Park on the un-touched southern half of Moresby Island, established in 1993 after years of struggle by the Haida People and environmentalist supporters, preserved many groves of giant trees and several ancient abandoned Haida Villages. I made a long comment about its difficult establishment under "Ride of the Valkyries" highly-liked comment.

[@andreasmaximus6116]

The deer overpopulation is easily solved, but not a popular solution. Reintroduce their natural predators. There must be a few mountain lions around? My friend on Victoria Island regularly catches mountain lions walking down his driveway on a camera trap.

[@dirtcopdualsport]

Thats super interesting, I thought the deer looked tiny or it was some gopro perspective trick. Thanks for sharing that.

[@josedeluna844]

Just an advice, one time a moose run in front of me on the highway here in Ak, I asumed that he was gone running crossing paths in front of me when all of a suden he turn around and run back into the road where I was driving, the way he did it was too fast for me to react from an unexpected move, I almost crash with him, so I learn to be cautious and pay attention all the way while they are in front or running by the side of me, they are wild animals and they like to run along with you, when they try to get out of the road if they can't get acces into the woods they will go back to the clear road very fast, "I learn how they changed their path all of a suden". They are wild animals and that's what they do, take care.

[@dreamflyr]

Move to WA to be with grandchildren. But live most of my life in VA, US. Blue Ridge mountains are beautiful & a lot of deer. I experienced about the same thing you did several times. They are unpredictable for sure ut so beautiful. Though I road trail & dual sports from 12 until 18 years of age I went to street bikes. Last one was a 1100 Yamaha V-Star Classic & I took it off road many times. Love dirt roads! Really love her videos!!! This one was a treasure for sure!

[@podunkcitizen2562]

A Rider had a Deer jump in front of them in North Alberta last month and one arm is very messed up and likely cant work anymore. Now i see from this video how it may have happened , they had many surgeries after the collision , it's much more dangerous than it looks.

Thats just like deer. If one runs across in front of you, still slow down anyway. I have lost track of the number of times I have seen the deer's friends, who were hidden in the bushes, follow him across the road about 5 seconds after......

[@jackpals2026]

Also, deer love to run along and suddenly cut in front of you. Had a few close calls, even though the mule deer on Haida Gwaii are tiny, they can hurt.

The forest in the drone shots was so thick. Probably the most dense forest I've seen in any of your videos. Nicely done! Thanks, Noraly!

[@777poco]

British Columbia has a lot of rain forests

[@davidmarshall718]

However, most of that forest in the drone shots was re-growth of a completely logged area, which is why the trees were so small, dense, and light green, and all the dead trees in that lake and on the beaches for endless kilometers was all old logging debris. Huge scale corporate logging, mostly foreign-owned, occurred on these islands from 1940 to 2010, billions of dollars of high quality timber was removed, mostly for export, and the Haida People got almost nothing from it, even the province got little in tax compared to what the corporations made, as the Provincial Gov't of those times was very "corporate-business-owner friendly". In the early 1980's, the corporations turned their attention to the largely un-touched southern half of Moresby Island, and the Haida People, backed by British Columbia's powerful environmental movement (Greenpeace was originally founded in Vancouver in 1970) said enough was enough, and after many years of hard political / social / cultural struggle and some physical confrontations with the logging companies and even their employees, the Gwaii Hannas National Park was established on the untouched southern half of Moresby Island in the late 1980's, it was a significant moment in the re-birth of Indigenous Rights in Canada and in the preservation of what was left of British Columbia Province's (BC for short) original nature. Many more Parks followed across the Province and the timber industry was more strictly regulated after more major social activism in the late 1990's which included large protests by both sides of the debate at the Provincial Legislature (Parliament) Building in the BC capital city of Victoria, and I write all this as the son of a 45 year-long small logging company owner/manager, which logged on northern Vancouver Island of BC and gave some thought and consideration to responsible logging practices.

[@lorijudd2151]

These forests are pretty thick, yes. Just like all the forests up and down the Pacific Coast of North America, from Northern California to Alaska.

[@Gommblotz]

@@davidmarshall718 As I recall, the logging companies promised to plant a tree for every giant cedar they cut down, thereby "replacing" the forests. They didn't count on the deer eating all the seedlings, however, so all of those magnificent forests were lost forever.

[@davidmarshall718]

@@Gommblotz ---- well, you stick around for 500 to 1000 years so you can see those trees grow big and majestic cuz that is how long it takes. It is NOT unreasonable to preserve SOME of the landscape as it is, and as it was, before SOME European-Canadians thought they could destroy it ALL for the almighty dollar, or to export it cuz other countries like Japan and the USA don't know how to build houses out of stone or brick, but build it out of wood cuz wood is promoted there by the businesses that produce it.

[@barrysmotn3615]

Really the only way to truly explore is by kayak which my wife and I did several years ago. It’s an amazing place. Fun fact-one of the reasons the Haida Gwaii black bear is the largest in the world is because it has adapted to its environment and has the ability to forage beaches and estuaries for all manner of sea life. It has evolved on these islands for so long that it’s jaw and molars have developed to the point where they can dine on bivalve mollusks like barnacles. Also a hunter on Haida Gwaii is allowed to harvest 15 deer each season. They are quite small but very numerous and have no natural enemies. They are quite invasive being introduced by European back in the 1800’s. They have now spread to almost every island and destroy native trees by eating saplings. There is a government program that is trying to eradicate them. If planning on hunting the Sitka Blacktailed deer you should check BC Hunting Regulations as they can change from year to year.

I spent two weeks on the islands traveling and living off a Zodiac powerboat and camping on beaches. There are tons of Bald Eagles and Ravens. The indigenous residents are really friendly and happy to share their culture and history.

You make me smile at every video you produce Noraly, but wow - this one was great! You’ve been an absolute joy to follow on your adventures. While you’re having fun and teaching us local history, we get to enjoy great video like the fabulous footage of your beach ride. That was over the top!!!

Hello Noraly, danke auch dein heutiges Video hat mir wieder sehr gefallen und vor allem deine neue Frisur. 👍😊 Ja was für ein Tag. Das du Spaß beim fahren im Wald sowie beim beobachten von Bären, Rehen und Hasen hattest und als Krönung auch noch am Strand rum düsen konntest habe ich dir angemerkt. Aber nun zu ernsteren Teil: Deine ehrliche Anteilnahme am Schicksal der Indianer Völker hat mein Herz berührt und wie gut es ist ein kleines und leichtes Bike zu haben. Beautiful! Ciao. 🤗

Nice touch with the Queen.

[@recumbentrocks2929]

Those islanders will never have energy problems like we have here in the UK, there is so much drift wood! Beautiful drone footage as usual.

[@cowabungadude7408]

I believe it is from logging.

[@klausuhlig7141]

Knowing Canada picking driftwood is probably Verboten,

[@Arnaud58]

A little criticism: That's exactly the state of mind the people had who started cutting down the rain-forests.😉

[@tapanmullick8751]

Thanks. There are many things to learn from your channel.

[@jeffpankau8164]

Again great editing of those drone clips Noraly . Interesting history lesson too. A joy to watch!

When I lived in Masset, I remember the Island deer being EVERYWHERE! Little guys, at most 90lbs (40kg). Hunters loved it, as the season was six months long, and the bag limit was ten. More people were fishers up there though, with 300lbs Halibut, and loads of salmon. People used to try giving tinned salmon away as they had so much of it. And, yes, the weather changes a lot - sun, cloud, rain, wind, calm.... all on the same day. In Masset, it actually did not rain very much, but it did rain every day. I remember it trying to snow once - not very successfully!

As I've observed for decades of riding: you can tell a fellow rider by their hair and left boot or shoe top.

Unless they have a rocker heel-shift gear changer!

Canadá is mysteriously beautiful and fertile. Both Canada and the USA are awesome. Norally you are the best, keep it up and enjoy your journey around the world 🌎

Hello to Noraly and fans. One of my all-time favorite place names is Haida Gwai. Don't remember when/where I first heard it, but I am so glad to be able to visit a bit even virtually. I wish safe travels to all and safety at home for those of us at home. I'll catch up on my viewing soon!

[@lauratunderingeezus]

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING US CANADA, SENDING LOVE FROM NOVA SCOTIA, CANADIANS LOVE YOU NORALY :)

[@janiceconnolly4938]

Haifa Gwaii has been on my list of places to see for a while. I really enjoyed today's video.

[@TheOldaz1]

Thanks for sharing Canada with us, just amazing. Thanks Noraly.

[@alexdorado8224]

Wow beautiful drone shot. Even finding a Filipina hairdresser on such remote island that made it sooo great. Have a safe travel always Noraly. Thanks for sharing with us your journey 👍👍

[@aliceybarra6148]

Only in my dreams, I figured places like these existed. You’ve proven to me these places are real and wonderful to experience. Love it! 💕

[@kevrevturner732]

Absolutely Fantastic filming

[@edmundodoloresjr7714]

A Filipina in Haida Gwaii fixing "tourist" Itchy Boot's hair! That's a nice surprise.

[@steveh1510]

I was jealous watching the footage on the beach! So cool!

[@AbdulKader-jn9ji]

WOW WHAT A BEACH. AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COASTLINE. AND WHAT A RIDE. FANTSTIC.

[@frankkusel4768]

Stunning photography as always. I can't decide if the forest ride or the beach ride is more beautiful. 😍

[@roncharles9613]

Amazing drone footage showing the natural beauty of Haida Guai. Enchanting forest for sure. Stay safe.

[@jerhughes500]

I thought you’d made a mistake when you went onto the beach, but you just did what you always do and took it in your stride! Amazing footage and Haida Gwai is on my list of places to visit too. ❤️🇨🇦

[@johngreydanus2033]

Absolutely, and when she got going at 17:40 she said Oh Yeah, and the drone shot came up, and I said Oh Yeah, most replayed section ever!

[@AdventureGlide]

*_Thanks for sharing this Noraly great video._*

"Where did time go?" To the beach. Time went to the beech for a bit. 🤗 That mossy forest really was a beauty. Probably not least because the trees aren't planted in lines, straight and centre like I know it from bloody every forest here in Germany. Deep in the forests, the trees only have small green crowns far above, all one sees from the ground is sticks. They kind of look like racks of toilet brushes. It's pleasant to see natural forests for a change. 🥰 Thankee for another loverley episode and another day made! ☺😍 P.S.: Good job, Mrs. Hairdresserette! 😃

[@hali0z]

You definitely take beautiful footages of nature. Stay safe out there BOOTS❣❣❣🙏❣

[@martyschreuder6034]

Ben nu 60 en 32 jaar geen motor gereden en zelfs geen brommer. Volg jou nu al enige tijd en ben een paar lessen aan het doen om weer te gaan motorrijden. Heel erg bedankt daarvoor 😉😊😘
