Yukon River Canoe Adventure Trip with Kids

[@stanc.2330]

What an extraordinary adventure. Absolutely beautiful. The kids will never forget this.

[@bobking1128]

6 of us in 3 canoes did the full trip from Whitehorse to Dawson way back in August of 1979. That derelict on Shipyard Island looked almost new and seaworthy when we pass by 38 years ago. Glad that we brought all of our own food. The store in Carmaks had nothing that we would have needed. I was eagerly waiting for your run at shooting the Five Finger Rapids. One of our canoes dumped there and we lost 2 days food and camera gear. Supplemented our supplies with fishing. Further downstream one of our canoes got caught in Big Back Eddy and went around a couple of times before exiting, much to the enjoyment of the rest of us. Somewhere before Dawson we stopped at a lone prospector's cabin for a visit. Not knowing exactly where we were, we asked him how long it would take to get to Dawson. "10 hours," he said, "if you paddle, 11 hours if you just drift." So we rafted up and dozed off and on for for an unknown amount of time and were worried that we might have drifted past Dawson. Fun trip, no bugs, no rain, long, leisurely days, as the sun really didn't set until about 2 or 3 am, if at all.

[@hobnobblingstone346]

Thanks for sharing Bob - a lot has changed since the 70s and no doubt it will all look different in another 30 years! Meanwhile the store in Carmacks is quite amazing so no need to take food for the entire trip. Our original plan was to canoe all the way to Dawson but with the kids we decided to slow the pace after the first few days because they needed plenty of sleep and play time. In hindsight it was a very good decision.

Awesome adventure, memories of a lifetime...thank you for bringing us along

This is absolutely awesome dudes! Planning on taking my kids sometime soon!

I live in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and I loved the video I definitely think more young ones should experience the outdoors the way we used to before the sunshine holidays package kind of stuff I always enjoy taking my son up the North of Scotland fishing and camping being out in the wilds we still do it but not so rough stuff but we still love it so it was great watching this it brought back great memories so thanks a million for sharing your trip, big thumbs up 👍 from the Jocks fa Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙏👌🎣

Greetings to Scotland and thanks for the thumbs up feedback - much appreciated!

Well done to you all, a great Canoeing film. This world needs more parents like you, who take the time to show and teach your children about the natural wilderness. Five Star Film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a great way to see the Yukon....no flies, bears wind or rain; just an excellent Deutsche production. Roughing it in style!

[@hobnobblingstone346]

Thanks Colin - indeed we were very very lucky with the weather and insects - we saw only a single bear in the distance - a bummer - we were disappointed we didn't see more (although the thought is quite scary ...)

[@hobnobblingstone346]

Thanks for the friendly feedback and thanks for the idea: we're considering a follow-up canoe trip a bit closer to home and England could be just the place!

[@hobnobblingstone346]

Vielen herzlichen Dank! Und Gruss zurück :-)

[@schlooonginator1227]

I lived in Whitehorse for just a yearcoming from Vancouver Island. I remember being shocked at the time that direct flights from Germany came during the summer to a city with under 30000 residents. The summers were great but far too short and the winters were awful. You really feel the isolation living in the Yukon. Where you went there is literally nothing for hundreds of miles. Makes BC feel over populated. I do prefer the west coast though, much more lush with bigger trees. Hard to get the experiance you got there down here, too many tourists here during the summer. Canoeing is epic in the Yukon.

[@kevinranders]

[@bobofthestorm]

Great video! I watched it twice. I'm actually going to study in the Yukon and this is the first thing I'm going to do once summer break hits.

[@hobnobblingstone346]

It was one of the most awesome experiences I've ever had - the good weather helped no doubt! You definitely MUST do this if you are in the region.

Wonderful trip, love to see people taking kids canoe tripping. You saw no bears, had no biting bugs, and had no storms? My family is very good at getting rained on, you might say we are rain magnets. Subscribed and hope to see more of these kids on wilderness adventures in the future.

[@daemodal]

9/5000 Great natural scenery and Great adventure

[@Kababoes]

Nice impression of your adventures mate. Unforgetable experiences for the kids and all of you. Great camerawork, variety of views and editing. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@Kababoes]

One question: Why do you put water in the oven to bake a damper (bread)? Any special reason?

[@hobnobblingstone346]

The "oven" like that directly in the fire would a) cause the bread to burn on the outside and be dough in the middle and b) prevents the pot from melting. What you don't see in the video is that on the fourth attempt the water evaporated before we noticed and we were left with a piece of coal and a hole in the pot.

The Yukon river is pretty wild river i've boated up and fished in and stayed in a cabin and had rainbow trout, near miles canyon great memories. This not a beginner canoe river in most spots . Its wide in spots so you really have to wear your life vest. I live in the kootenays and theres a lake river thats a great spot to beginner canoe or kayak.

[@hobnobblingstone346]

Thanks for your comment da ne - you are lucky to live in such a beautiful region!

[@thomaskristiansen6841]

Hi, what an amazing trip. We are two lucky fathers planning to bring our children on the same trip for the canoeing part and som gold prospecting in the summer of 2021. Please if you can, provide us with some budget information. It would help us a lot as we are setting up the plan now. Wishing you all an awesome day.

[@hobnobblingstone346]

We spent, very roughly, about CHF 4500 for my son and myself, including flights from Europe to Whitehorse, Canoe rental (Tandem canoe), accommodation in Carmacks (simple hut on the campground), Husky Bus apartment in Dawson (3 nights), Tombstone excursion with Husky Bus, Husky Bus transfer back to Whitehorse, accommodation in Whitehorse (B&B, 2 or 3 nights), food, rental car in Whitehorse. Not included is some purchases made in Europe for camping gear. Hope this helps. I highly recommend this trip - it was amazing - I would do it again!

[@thomaskristiansen3149]

Hobnob Blingstone Thank you so much for this info. We are really excited and are looking at videos, reading and so on. We all love panning for gold so we will be doing a bit of that as well. You did not canoe all the way to Dawson City, any reason for that? Do you think it is to far with children?

[@hobnobblingstone346]

@@thomaskristiansen3149 Hi again, the original plan was indeed to do the whole trip all the way to Dawson but 3-4 days into the trip we noticed that we'd have had to speed up our pace, but with kids you need time, time in the evening to set up camp, lots of time in the morning to start the day, eat, pack up, the kids need time to play. 3 to 4 hours on the river was enough. Thus we decided mid-trip to take our time and it was much better, no rush, relaxed. We organized a transfer to Dawson from Carmacks, the guy at the campground helped with this. The river gets wider and muddier after Carmacks, in my opinion less attractive, but that is, of course, subjective.

[@thomaskristiansen3149]

Hobnob Blingstone Thanks alot for the response. Seems like we will be looking to follow in your footsteps 🤣. have an amazing summer

[@billmccabe6188]

kids are so cute when they're sleeping, LOL.

Cleaning stinky socks and underware: grey ashes from a camp fire and hot water,, agitate in this mixture and let steep for a while. Rinse and dry. They will be fresh and clean, ready for wear when dry.

Thanks Mike. Or use soap, that also works, believe it or not.

Top adventure Trip Wie viel Zeit braucht man, um so einen Trip zu planen? Gerne auch PN

[@between5and6]

Bei Zeitindex 2:03 sieht man das Ihr die blaue Tonne aus der Schweiz mitgebracht habt. Warum habt ihr diese nicht vor Ort gemietet? Gibt es etwas was ihr für das Yukon-Abenteuer 100% empfehlt mitzunehmen und gibt es etwas wo ihr sagt: "kannste Zuhause lassen?"

[@hobnobblingstone346]

Wir haben die Tonnen gleich als Gepäckstücke verwendet aber man hätte diese genau so gut in Kanada mieten können. In der Schweiz konnten wir die Qualität noch überprüfen, in Kanada wussten wir nicht, was uns erwarten würde. Wir hätten sicherlich minimaler unterwegs sein können, d.h. ohne Stühle und Drohne, etc. - diese Artikel waren nice-to-have und nicht notwendig. Eine Solardusche habe ich mitgenommen aber nicht verwendet, auch Taschenlampen haben wir kaum verwendet - es war bis recht spät hell. Alles andere haben wir mitgenommen, weil auch bei einem Probecamping in der Schweiz die Auswahl nochmals bestätigt werden konnte.
