As a Nova scotian, I love this opportunity to see our province from the inland waterways. I have only ever seen it from the sea and the land.

[@thalor1918]

Cheers from Germany, had to see this video. We've been four times to Nova Scotia and absolutely fell in love with the landscape, the people and the way of living. Miss my cup of Timmy's.☕ We hope to come back some day soon. I recognized some places. As soon as I saw the name of the river I had to see it. Three years ago we went on a tidal bore rafting trip there. It was absolutely amazing and a true adventure for someone like me. The guide told us it would be totally easy and it had been a long time since the last one fell out of the boat with all the 2+ meter waves. And now guess who was under the boat in the river only two minutes later?🤣 Great fun. I really miss Nova Scotia, can't wait to come back.

[@NorthernScavenger]

Haha! That is a great story. Hopefully you'll be back soon :)

[@joelcollins5586]

It's half Germany now anyway the way they buy the land

[@thalor1918]

Are there so many Germans buying land in Nova Scotia?

[@harryyoung7076]

I lived in Halifax for 15 yrs and often wondered about the Shube canal system, and how it once worked in down town Dartmouth. Thanks for explaining the parts of the system today. Always said that this is a beautiful resource that should be dredged for boaters/kayaks with working locks, where required. Cheer's H

[@PK-qg8wl]

I did that crossing in 1973, that was one of the best times. I enjoyed your film I felt like I was there. Thanks

[@EBackwards]

In BC now but you're more or less in my Back Yard! Good to see things. I knew every single point you were not going to be able to bypass before you even got there lol Great to see home again...

[@jolka77]

I grew up on lake William, great video guys! I remember that summer where things were insanely dry. You can usually paddle right down below the bridge by the Irving in Waverley there. We used to do it all the time as kids.

[@Dragons_Novel]

Coincidentally, I rode the tidal bore yesterday. Near the mouth of the river, the front wave is almost 2 feet tall, and the waves that follow can be as high as 6 feet this time of year. Sitting in the front of the boat, waves washed over my head. It gets fairly turbulent. If you don't hold on with all your might, you'll get swept out of the boat. Several people were washed from the boat, but the drivers are extremely experienced. No one was hurt or in the water long. It was certainly an adventure of a life time. The current you paddled through was nothing compared to it. If you get a chance to go, go. You'll know what those fishermen on the shore meant. I always wondered what the entire river system would be like to paddle. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@kstuart3924]

I grew up in Nova Scotia, but moved away 25 years ago but still consider it to be home. Thanks for this, it was awesome!

[@millerbuggins5884]

Awesome paddling journey!👍🏼

[@thejohns2330]

What an ideal way to show off our little corner of the world! Nice work.

[@s0larstreetart685]

More people need to see this video. As a Nova Scotian I say more people need to visit this place.

[@KelJayP]

Great to see Matt and Dave again! Urban portaging was hilarious lol

[@erissmith845]

I just have to say, I screamed and clapped my hands like a teenage fangirl when I saw Dave was back. Not saying you should have more Dave cameos but I'm not, not saying it either. Also, I always love your music choices for your videos. Another interesting adventure, looking forward to your next one!

[@paultaylor3856]

Agree with every comment made here 👍

That was very enjoyable .

Awesome. What a great adventure and so good to see this river and connections.

It's cool to be scrolling through the channel, watching all these inspiring videos, and then see this one with my old coworker, Jeff! Great dude and funny as heck. Keep paddling!

I loved your canoe trip . I miss home so much ,thank you for bringing home to me .

[@senditwithsquatch6777]

This was great! As a bass researcher who rides the tides on this river often, I will say you guys had a good river experience, lower tides, low wind! 28 footers and wind make the area from Caddels Rapids to Black Rock treacherous. Tide times and sizes are best correlated with Saint John NB heigh tide times. At 25.5 kilometres from the mouth the tide is 1 hour 45 minutes after, always and consistently.

[@OtherBrotherDaryl]

Epic boys. Thanks for the journey.

Spent most of my summers on Lake Charles. Such good memories there.

Excellent trip Noah! So unique in so many ways...urban, historical, beer portage, canoe shop and presentation, low water, tides. Grew up on the Left Coast but never dreamed of canoeing around salt water. Now living on the edge of the Northern Boreal and loving the wild spaces and places. 8 years ago strapping son and I were able to sustain 9.3 kms per hour across Tulabi Lake for about 10 minutes with a brisk Canadian Stroke fully loaded and tracked by GPS. Always better time at the end of the rtrip lol. Could imagine 10 km/h sustained, what a ride.

[@jareddickerson9842]

I grew up in Enfield and the river was a big part of my childhood I recognized parts of the river in the video. Iv never had the opportunity to do something like this. But I can definitely see myself doing this !! Thanks for the inspiration

[@ev304]

as a novascotian this makes me happy

[@DLKHAY]

thanks for the childhood flash back, my father used to work the shut downs at Tuffs cove and we would stay on lake waverly and get to canoe in the locks as part of their summer program. this was in the mid to late 80's

This was terrific. I live in NY on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. By car the farthest east I've been is Bar Harbor and the farthest north is Quebec City. I hope to get to Nova Scotia one day.

[@NorthernScavenger]

Thank you! And thanks for checking out the archive !

I forgot to say you did an excellent job on editing! Just a touch of music threshold below the nature sounds and minimal narration around great cuts. Good job!

[@artmelanson6619]

We did the same trip about 4 years ago. great video brings back good memories. A couple of interesting things we came across: We got stuck in quicksand just after the 102 crossing. we were walking in about 1 foot of water and the tide was coming in . I sank up to my hips in mud and was stuck. pretty sure i would have sank a lot deeper but i hung onto my kayak to stop my sinking. it took about 15minutes to get out. My feet never touched anything solid. We discussed the tides the whole way down the river. One thing we discovered is the currents are not at 6 hour in and 6 hours out on a tidal river . The further up the river , the more time the current is going out. . At Maitland the current is going out for 9 hours and in for only 3 hours (times are not exact) At the location on the river where we hit the tidal boar, the current came in for about 90 minutes and then out for the rest of the time. We did way better time then expected because of this . Thanks for the video. Well done.

[@normajeanhoorn964]

The way we do our banana boats is that we wrap them in tin foil and just put them right in the fire but very creative and sticking a stick it through the bananas and doing it that way. The way to make orange cake is...... You take an orange cut off to make a lid of one end of your orange take a spoon and take out the orange be careful at the bottom that you don't make a hole through the orange when you're taking it out make your chocolate cake and pour it into the oranges 3/4 not up to the top put your lid on wrap it with tin foil and throw it in the fire and enjoy the aroma like OMG it will make you hungry smelling it as it's cooking have fun . Let me know if you enjoyed it
