The Allagash- Canoe The Wild

Canoe The Wild- The Allagash
I don't even know where to start! The Video is finally here! I am so grateful for all of your support grab some popcorn and settle in for this week long adventure down the allagash waterway!
This trip start to finish was something truly incredible and I could never have done it with out Master Guide Dave Conley owner of Canoe the Wild.
I have been trying to go on an epic canoe trip for the passed few years now and my mission was to capture Maine in a way that is rarely seen. i wanted to go to remote waterways to see the amazing wild life and a sky with out any man made light near by.
One of my biggest goals was to capture some epic moose footage and on this trip putting in the work before sunrise and after sunset I was able to see 26 moose on this trip! And with an amazing amount of luck I was one of only 3 or 4 people to ever get a permit to fly a drone in this amazing landscape which was a privilege I was extremely grateful for.
The history and the landscape the adventure and calm all in one it was amazing.
I had the chance to jump in last minute and join a group of amazing people that were on the search for adventure like myself. The group was amazing a few groups of friends one who turned 70 the day he stepped off the river and another couple of newly wedds that choose this as there honey moon. I could go on and on but instead sit back and enjoy this video.
I am truly grateful for everyone of you and strive to continue to make better content for you all. If you enjoy it please make sure to show the video some love and tell a friend. And remember Go Discover Something Awesome!!!
If you would like to experience this for yourself I can not recommend Dave enough. Go check out his facebook page Canoe the wild or his website. canoethewild.com/

I love this video. Thank you so much for it! The only thing I wish was different was that it was about 8 hours longer…or maybe that I was there, learning to poll alongside Dave. Lol! The Allagash has been pulling me to it since I was about 16 years old, (yes, that’s a long time now, shhh) even when I moved away and lived out in the Arizona dessert, well, especially then I suppose. I have camped within it but I have never “done” it. I NEED to do it before my back won’t let me. Heading to the Penobscot River Corridor this week though, close but still not it. Again, thank you for this. Amazing and brought me to tears.

This video is absolutely incredible. The national geographic level production value, the footage you captured, everything about it is awesome. My jaw was already on the floor from the moose footage and then you hit me with the northern lights. Wow. I gotta ask, what camera(s) and lenses did you use besides the drone and GoPros? When I watched the night sky footage I thought that's gotta be a full frame camera but then I saw the closeup moose shots and I thought how could he carry that big of a telephoto lens on the canoe?! I'm looking forward to more of these longer videos. Great work man!

This was a fantastic film. how did you keep your camera accessible but also dry? And what focal length would you recommend to get shots of the animals on the shore like that?

[@BenKleinCreates]

Amazing shots. How’d you get the shots of the moose around 3:30?

[@JeremyTGrant]

Thanks Ben I really lucked out and was the 4th person to ever get permitting to fly a drone in this area and was able to capture this with the mavic zoom the shot is much longer then in here I did a drop shot from 400 feet very slowly not to scare her as she was getting out of the water and by the time i brought it from 800 ft out and 400 ft high she was stepping out of the water and was very curious by the noise instead of afraid. When filming moose everything has to be super slow and the time of year will also determine there behavior. To say I was excited to be able to grab this shot would be an understatement lol.

[@BenKleinCreates]

Jeremy T. Grant that’s amazing! I’d be stoked too haha. Anything I should be aware of besides the obvious for flying a drone in Maine. Obviously follow all FAA guidance (I’m a licensed drone pilot). It would be great to fly in mountains etc. how did you go about permission in this area you shot? Thanks! Will be going through more of your videos these next few days haha

[@JeremyTGrant]

@@BenKleinCreates Maines a pretty awesoe spot to fly yeah pay attention to FAA regs and when you are in the mountains and lakes keep close eye and ear for float planes this time of year they are every where and they fly really low. This spot took awhile to get permission and came down to getting my work in front of the right people way in advice and submitting paperwork and all of that fun stuff. But most areas are open minus state and national parks a preserves You will have no shortage of epic spots to fly that is for sure!!!! Also when your in heavy traffic spots people are really polarized on drones they either love them or hate them so be prepared for that which I'm sure you deal with other places as well.
