An extra six inches of water would have made a world of difference. Mother nature calls the shots. Thank you for taking us along, Doug. Stay safe and stay cool

[@PinetreeLine]

You’re right Sean, an extra six inches gets us over many of those rocks with no trouble at all. Mother Nature always calls the shots. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@davestredulinsky]

An excellent video of your challenging canoe trip on the Spanish River. I enjoyed to the end. Thank you Doug.

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks so much Dave!! Very much appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🇨🇦

[@davidAblake1]

Well that Sir was a proper adventure! with a cliff hanger. Cant wait for part two.

[@PinetreeLine]

Awesome! Thanks Dave! Appreciate you watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@dubc3615]

The way you rode in by train was really cool. The low water can really make things more challenging. That canoe was taking a beating but did great. The water was raging pretty good. Excited for the next part!

[@PinetreeLine]

The train idea is really cool and to be dropped off literally right at the side of the tracks in the middle of nowhere is both cool and a defining moment at the same time lol. Thanks for watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Great start to your epic trip! Water time is fun time! Couple of sketchy spots, but you posted this, so you must have made it home! Lol! Thanks for sharing!

[@PinetreeLine]

Lol…I did make it home Brandon 😂 but not without some adventure 😂. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@YourOldPalFernbark]

That canoe is getting a proper break in. I recommend an aluminum canoe, as the scraping sounds are much more satisfying, LOL. The good news is that if you want, you can take a plastic bucket, cut pieces out, and melt them into the scratches on the boat with a heat gun. Do not get the heat gun too close to the boat. Trust me on that.

[@PinetreeLine]

I’m sure you know by experience 😂. Thank goodness this canoe was a rental…some tough ass polyethylene! Appreciate you watching brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@knoxonwoods5636]

Cant wait to see the next one. The water is so powerful even at low water levels.

[@PinetreeLine]

You’re exactly right, low levels but still moving fast in swifts and rapids. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@nibimocs]

What a cliff hanger! Looked like a fun trip. Can't wait to see the rest.

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks Larry! Appreciate it brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

People underestimate the power of water . Looking forward to more 👍

[@PinetreeLine]

So true Ray…it’s not always the amount of water but how strongly it flows. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@TimintheBackwoods]

Well Doug, looks like the start to an epic trip ! Crappy to see you guys get side-washed !!! I have to say though, you left your mark on the Spanish River and I'm not just talking about canoe paint !! Looking forward to part 2 !!! 👍👍🌲🌲🇨🇦🇨🇦🍺🍺

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks Tim! It’s not an adventure till things go sideways and I mean that in a literal way 😂. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@mikejameus]

Some good recording here Doug. Can't wait for part 2

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks Mike! Appreciate it brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Awesome part 1. The river looks awesome. Whenever you hear the noise on the River getting louder, fun times are coming 😁😁

[@PinetreeLine]

That’s so true Jason…the noise is so pronounced and tells what lies ahead 😧 Thanks for watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@jsteelsadventureandvariety]

this is a real white knuckler Doug, hair raising in parts👍 anxious to see more🙂

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks J! Never a dull moment on this one brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@randomlytracy2291]

Hi Doug, great video. Sometimes it better to see where you've been, than where you are going, lol. Water is a little shallow. Oh my, hope y'all didn't lose any gear. Can't wait for part 2. Take care brother 🤝

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks so much Tracy! I think you’re right about it being better to see where you’ve been lol. I can tell you right now a tripod is sitting at the bottom of the river 😂. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸

[@Vancouver_Ohi]

Oh, you had really amazing canoe trip! I feel like I am exploring there with you. It's really nice video. I enjoyed so much. 😀👍🥰

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks so much for coming along my friend! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@potatothorn]

oh Wow this is Awesome.. so beautiful.. about the total opposite of what i did over summer hahah /// so nice on the river but wow things got nuts at the end here... thanks for taking us along/ on to part 2!

[@PinetreeLine]

It’s definitely a different kind of adventure especially taking the train one way and paddling back. This got bad in a hurry at the end there. Thanks for coming along Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Dang, you putting in that work brother, water looked really low lol but any day in the field is a good one for sure!! Y'all stay safe over there Doug, looking forward to part 2 my friend!! Dan

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks Dan! Anything worth doing usually involves some hard work and tough times making it an adventure. Thanks so much for watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@EssayonsFG]

Catching up. Awesome canoe trip!

[@PinetreeLine]

I worries Rob. Always appreciate when you stop by but I know people are very busy with their lives. Thanks Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@LaurentGouzouAKALynx]

That’s extreme canoe trip Brother probably the low level of the river didn’t help. I am awaiting the next part👍👍👍💪💪💪💪👊🤟

[@PinetreeLine]

Awesome thanks so much for watching my brother! 👊🏻👍🏻🍻

[@BarneyKraft]

A bow draw would go a long way in a lot of those swifts. Great video. Can't wait to go next year!

[@PinetreeLine]

You’re absolutely right…rookie mistakes. Still had a blast! Appreciate you watching!! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@DonJoyce]

Wow! Cool adventure! I kept thinking, who found the camera and had the kindness to upload the footage on Doug's channel!

[@PinetreeLine]

LOL thanks Don! Appreciate you watching the adventure brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@rialobran]

You'll make the Canadian canoe slalom team yet Doug! The low levels made that quite a technical little trip, I can't wait to see the next instalment :)

[@PinetreeLine]

Well Si given my innate ability to find and hit rocks maybe the slalom team is rightfully thinking twice 😂. Thanks for watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@JeremySmithOfNewScotland]

Wow that takes some coordination and teamwork. Looks like you second guess yourselves on routes to take and there’s so much to it. I’m impressed that you can canoe while the water is low. Looks like a great trip with a good bunch of guys 👍🏻

[@PinetreeLine]

It’s definitely a team effort. You second guess almost every route and the ones you don’t question usually go bad 😂 it’s like you can’t win with low water levels. Appreciate you watching brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

OK so this was a bumpy ride! That canoe looks like its about to fold up, good call on getting a rental👍 Cant wait to see part 2 See ya brother🍻

[@PinetreeLine]

The rental was an incredible idea 😂. Thanks for watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@TWOWHEELFIX]

It was going so well navigating through the rocks. Another 6 inches of water would have made all the difference. I can only imagine the difficulties the loggers had back in the day. Looking forward to part 2. Like from me 👍🍻

[@PinetreeLine]

You’re right Stevie, another six inches of water and we are gliding over a lot of those rocks. Appreciate you taking the time to watch brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@21Swayzee]

Epic adventure..diggin the orange teal colour in the vid too! Man, we have the Spanish River, and Missinabie River on our radar. Just waiting for the kids to get a little older. Love to hook into some pikerel there! Man, it sucks getting tied up in rocks, but it does add to the adventure!

[@PinetreeLine]

As you know Mattias, it isn’t an adventure unless things go sideways 😂. You’d definitely love the Spanish! Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@jeffleblanc9968]

Wow that was wild! Glad to see video is up all is well👍

[@PinetreeLine]

Sure was Jeff! Part 2 out tomorrow morning if you’re interested. Appreciate you watching man! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@JohnAmes]

Thanks for the great video my friend 👍

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks John! Appreciate you watching brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@gulfcoastmetaldetector670]

This is awesome going on a trip. Thank you for filming , editing , and sharing. It was fun. The narration, education, and views were worth the trek. God Bless and be safe on your next adventure. Thumbs up 59!

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks so much for the kind words, it means a lot and is very much appreciated my friend. 😊

[@mdmelbourne6076]

Hello Doug great to finally see those videos, must say I love the rivers in Canada, you guys are so lucky, We have rivers here but half way it might be dry lol.. we struggle with water in this country, you guys don't have that problem, thanks for sharing brother ATB Jim 👊

[@PinetreeLine]

We are extremely lucky to have this type of environment Jim to enjoy and it is rare to have such low water this time of year but we had very little snow this year relative to most years and we didn’t have the Spring rains to compensate. Obviously you understand all about the struggles of water so we shouldn’t ever complain. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@marilynscull4585]

Wow the water is really low. Awesome video

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks so much Marilyn! 👍🏻😊

[@AlanMETALMAN]

It would not be fun if it did go to plan, well not for us anyway lol. It all started off so well, looked real scenic and real peaceful, a real relaxing paddle down the river but when the 'mines' started to appear.....Luck sure did run out there and looked dam scary with the possibility of losing all your gear in the fast flowing river. part 2 is going to be real interesting! Take care Doug, cheers Alan

[@PinetreeLine]

You’re right Alan…it’s no adventure until things start going sideways 😂. Thanks so much for watching Brother! 🤘🏻👍🏻👊🏻

[@jbolf6]

Man Doug, that river is a lot more difficult than I had imagined. Can't wait for the next part

[@PinetreeLine]

I went into this John without knowing how difficult it could be but obviously the river had some teeth. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@AllenOxendine]

Man, things were going so nice 🚣‍♂️ until the rocks caught you. Full View and Like 👍

[@PinetreeLine]

That’s the story of the trip Allen but those rocks got us really good. Thanks so much for watching Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@LatitudesWildernessFilms]

Yup, it's a bit of bump and grind eh boys! Hope you get out of the pin and finish the trip!

[@PinetreeLine]

You know how these low water trips go Pete, things go sideways 😂. So much for a serene quiet paddle in the backcountry lol. Cool to hear you were in our neck of the woods, you’re always welcome here brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@preludefpv]

Great video! Looks like it was very challenging at times with the water being quite low brother! Looking forward to seeing more 🤩👊👊

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks Leon! If the river wasn’t going to be challenging with high it found a way to be challenging with low water…can’t win 😂. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻🍻

[@SteveRobReviews]

That was wild , next stop Aintree 😅😅👍

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks for watching Buddy! Appreciate it! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@minitip2357]

This amazing I appreciated ur videos 👍34 Nice to meet u and wish u good luck dear friend😊

[@PinetreeLine]

Thanks so much my friend! 👍🏻

[@shinypackage8789]

A lot of precision in what you guys were experiencing! Balance and precision! Beauty and danger, what a gorgeous environment. Happy you guys are ok, stay safe and enjoy

[@PinetreeLine]

I never thought of it but you’re right…precision and balance is what this adventure was about and many many times we didn’t have one or the other or both. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That's a rough river for canoeing eh. You guys were doing good till that last segment. Good that you kept your heads though. On a canoe trip you are bound to get wet so don't worry about dumping the canoe. Exciting times for sure. Looking forward to next installment!!! Take care!!!

[@PinetreeLine]

Hey Mike, you’re right, don’t go canoeing if you wanna stay dry 😂 more so doing any whitewater canoeing. Appreciate you watching brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@DerekNaylor]

That looked like quite a wild ride Doug brother ....Is that water still very cold even at this time of year ? ...Cool upload mate 😀👍

[@PinetreeLine]

Lots of fun Derek! The water is refreshingly cool, ask me how I know 😂. Thanks for watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@ryanbiscobarnes]

Biscotasi lake that heads the Spanish river was so low this spring everyone was says probably a record. I commend you guys I would be such a chicken to try this. I think how my mother would tell me my grandfather would take tourist down the Spanish or up to James Bay all by canoe and he could be gone for a week or over a month at a time. My grandfather even told me about a time on the Spanish that his canoe got sucked down in heavy current (I'm assuming high waters and post heavy rains) and came up and out in a multiple pieces.

[@PinetreeLine]

Ryan your grandfather sounds like a true adventurer! Thanks, part of it is just not knowing any better lol. I can imagine how much of a beast this river can be with higher water levels but even in low water it presents different challenges as you can see. Appreciate you watching brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

YIKES!!!!!! That looked a little rough Doug. I’ve never canoed on a river like that (yet). In hindsight, could a fella do that “solo”?

[@PinetreeLine]

It’s a little different than normal Chris because of record low water for this time of year. Normally you can easily navigate those swifts but would have to portage the bigger rapids. Yes you can definitely do it solo but it sure makes it easier to cover distance going tandem. Appreciate you watching brother! 👊🏻👍🏻 🛶

[@MidTnOutdoors]

Awsome trip my friend. Yall had to work for that one.

[@PinetreeLine]

Absolutely Patrick! Nothing easy bout this one Brother! 👍🏻👊🏻

[@TranquilGeo]

Oh my. Did you have much footage of the "not crazy" part of the trip? A canoe trip is the ultimate relaxing thing. Make me wish I didn't get sea sick at the drop of a hat. Brother and I went cat fishing one night and by the time I got to shore I had turned 3 shades of green. lol

[@PinetreeLine]

If you get sea sick than this is definitely not the place to be 😂. Some canoe trips aren’t as relaxing as others 😂. Appreciate you watching Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@upnorthoutdoors1229]

It looks like you boys are greener then the leaves on the trees your paddling by.Might have been handy to verse yourselves on a few of the basic paddling strokes before starting out.But we all start some where makes the trip a bit more of a adventure

[@PinetreeLine]

Maybe next time we will just stay home and watch someone else do it on tv or KZbin cause we aren’t good enough I guess. This is why people don’t get outdoors cause there’s always an ‘expert’ sitting at home waiting to criticize those who at least try.

[@richardlambert4253]

What time of year was this trip done?

[@PinetreeLine]

This was in June last year Richard.

[@ScottGostick]

That particular pin situation. 1st take a minute to settle your wits. Empty the boat and get gear to shore. Tie your throw rope to both bow and stern thwarts at the low side. Bring the rope around bow and stern so you can pull it under the canoe(ropes will be under and around the keel) Find a spot where you can get good purchase preferably on the inflow side of the boat. Pull ropes to rotate the boat keel side up . This pull requires full commitment though because as it starts to roll it will gain more push from the current but a continuous motion will bring it to a point that the current will actually help roll it out. A half-ass tug that only rolls it more into the current might just end with 2 pieces of canoe so the full commitment and good purchase are very important to this recovery method. Each situation has it's own unique circumstances though so it is often very important to take the time to settle the nerves and think through the problem.

[@PinetreeLine]

Great information here Scott! Thanks so much for sharing and I’m sure we can all learn from your experience. 👍🏻👊🏻 Doug

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

WOW....That was EPIC......EPIC Canoe Trip is the right title Bro.....That had me on edge and I was just watching......L>>>O>>>L

[@PinetreeLine]

I thought it was epic too SK but you know some of those ‘proper’ canoeist might not think so 😂 Appreciate you watching my Brother! 👊🏻👍🏻

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

@@PinetreeLine I'll see if I get notified on the next vid.....I often wonder how many folks that are subbed don't get notified on my vids.....

[@PinetreeLine]

@@SK_CrappieCatching It’s tough enough getting people to watch with all the big stars, tv companies, media giants being on the platform now. Notifications is a big part of keeping us little guys afloat.

Thank you! 😊

[@PinetreeLine]

Thank you! 😊

[@byronbasso9922]

That does not look like an enjoyable canoe trip

[@PinetreeLine]

With low water levels it definitely changes the type of trip you normally get this time of year. Appreciate you watching Byron! 👍🏻👊🏻
