A video documenting two canoe trips down the Upper Credit River (Inglewood to Glen Williams) in March 2021. The first run (in early March) was a tad too early in the season and required us to navigate large stretches of frozen river. The second run - only a week after the first - was virtually ice free.

Lower Missinaibi River: Mattice to Moosonee in 8 Days
Переглядів 6692 роки тому
An 8-day, 314km adventure down the mighty Missinaibi River from Mattice to Moosonee, Ontario. A tough trip especially given frequent rain and headwinds, but well worth the effort. Forgive the shoddy camera work - this was my first effort at filming a trip (back in July 2016)! Check out more content at www.theterraincognita.ca

13:00 now there's a sight that would have excited Thomson or any wildlife artist... This was possibly the best version of the Mississagi i've seen ... you really did justice to the history of the place.
@@Sayitaint_So thanks for the kind words!! 🙏
I want to explore this place so bad.
Прекрасный фильм ! Великолепные места , первозданная Природа ! Вы - смелые сильные ребята ! И , что очень важно - ваши головы остались с вами ... 😊 (RU) .
@@sergeiburlakov197 thank you so much for the kind sentiments! Best wishes from Canada! 🍻
Fine piece of work. Loved it.
Great video! My son and I are going moose hunting this fall and are thinking about traveling upstream the Bloodvein. Where does the burn area begin? I’m thinking the new growth will be attractive to the twig eater.
@@blainereimer1323 thanks for your message! Burns affected much of the river in recent years. If you’re travelling upriver from the Bloodvein River bridge I think you’ll find some substantive burns as close as namay falls (maybe sooner).
Not sure if yall superstitious.. but did yall get any wierd vibes when camping in nahanii. Hearing stories of early indigenous, and settlers saying theres an eerie feeling to nahanii. Wondering if yall got any of that while on your trip?
A profoundly beautiful and lyrical presentation. Thank you.
@@waterst9 thanks for the kind words!
you might enjoy the music video of my 2023 Nahanni trip: ua-cam.com/video/EL2_2JmaxVg/v-deo.html
@@steveschijns3204 great stuff! Terrific work on the song and video!
Hello! Is there any other way to take a look around the nahanni park? kayaking and backpacking look so hard and dangerous to me...
@@junseoksong6863 Hi! Typical access is via plane, which can do air tours or set you down if you’re interested in camping. The campsites at Virginia falls are well established and include some limited facilities.
Thank you for your fast answer! That sounds quite expensive. I may need to save more money to go 😂 I want to visit in a few years
Some of those rivers look so dang deep.
Headless bodies... answer..wild animals bears wolves and cougars.. there is no myth or anything haunted..
One or two of the bodies had their rifle barrels bent in half next to them imagine a beast it would take to do that.i know they're wild stories. But it would take an insanely strong person to do that.a regular person would need a solid vice and a sledge hammer.. Im just saying it makes you wonder?
@@DouglasNemsky a grizzly bear can bend steel and bend and fold a human spine no problem..and there are no ghosts...lol
Great job! We just paddled the entire river to Huron and fell deeply in love with the river. Thank you so much for the great historical information and fabulous insights. Subscribed!
Thanks so much for the message! Glad you had a great time and a successful trip on this very special river!
I came across this video after researching the Nahanni Valley based on a Mr. Ballen story about the Mcloud brothers in 1904. This is beautiful yet slightly uneasy feeling, given how untouched and wild everything is
Breathtakingly beautiful, but not a place I’d go unarmed, if you know what I’m saying.
I grew up in Tungsten, the headwater of the Flat River
Omg my dream place to visit
Wow!! What a great trip! And you returned alive! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t see any bugs.
Great film, we are hoping to paddle the river in the summer so this is really useful. Thanks Mike
Thanks so much Mike! Wishing you a great journey on the river!
Doesn't look as dangerous as what I read about this place. No waheela, no evil spirits and no whatever it was that left those prospectors headless.
Unfortunately the footage I got of those things didn’t turn out very well!
@@The.Terra.Incognita Uh what? You saying you encountered those creatures?
@@The.Terra.Incognita😂 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I enjoyed your trip video! Nice that you labelled the rapids - we are thinking of this route and that will help with our planning. Interesting to see the re-growth on part of the river
Thanks so much! Always happy to chat if you have questions about the route. You’ll have a great time out there!
@@The.Terra.Incognita Thanks for the reply! We are now officially doing the route in a few weeks - very excited. What time of year did you guys do your trip? You made a few comments throughout the video trying to speculate on relative water level. What do you think was the water level at during your trip? Trying to figure out what to expect when we do it early August.
@@madformaplethat’s great to hear! We did the river around this time last year - maybe first two weeks of August. Levels were at 29.3m and discharge was 33 m3/s. The river is generally pretty deep and is a pool and drop river. Even at the relatively low levels we experienced ca good proportion of the rapids were runnable…character of them changes a lot of course. Have a fantastic trip!
Being in a canoe with some one yelling instructions would piss me off a bit
Thanks for your comment. Constant, succinct and direct communication with your paddling partner is a basic and necessary element of tandem whitewater canoeing, especially in the types of scenarios depicted in this video.
Very nice trip documentation. I really enjoyed seeing all the rapids (portaged or run). Each was interesting in it's own way. Great view from the bow paddlers head mounted Gopro of all the issues faced in those rapids. Looked like you guys had a great trip.
Thanks for your kind words and for checking out the video! A great time on a truly wonderful river. 🛶 🌊 🏕️
Nice trip. I appreciate you showing some of the portages. We’ve been contemplating this trip, but mostly flat water paddlers.
What a trip! Nice work on the filming, narration, and editing too. Thanks for taking us along. :)
Thanks for the kind words! Happy trails to you! :)
Fabulous. Can I ask how much the flight cost from Red L to Artey L?
Thanks Michael! It was about $2,600, as I recall. Goldseekers Outfitting managed the flight on our behalf through Superior Airways.
Yes the 1963 tv series The Forest Rangers was the most famed production shot here. The village set “Indian River” was shot right next to that log cabin you saw.
Incredible - thanks! Will look into this!
Nice Job Buddy!
Super, welll done!
Great film with the best impressions from the tour. Great explanation. Thank you for the preliminary impressions for my planned tour in 2024. If you are interested in whitewater here in Europe - Lapland: ua-cam.com/video/4l2AG0YMdZA/v-deo.html Udo
people don't go here its cursed
Wonderful experience, great job. Thanks from Angelo Italy
Did ya hear any wood knocks ?
Well, they returned alive so . . .
I feel dumb for saying this, but it almost looks like you're paddling up-river cuz of the waves.
I did this trip when I was 12 as far as I know youngest white man to do it at that age .and there is was by David koester was a book my father wrote on Amazon .in the 70 s
Wow. I'm speechless. The gorgeous, inspiring images are duly matched by the vivid, expertly crafted narration. Really captured the feeling of being there in person. Definitely one of the finest documentaries I've seen on UA-cam.
Thanks for these incredibly kind words @DrRestezi - I wish I had more time to dedicate to these videos. I will be releasing another one on the Bloodvein shortly. Best wishes and happy trails to you!
@@The.Terra.Incognita I see that you have more videos on your channel--looking forward to watching some of those as well. Keep up the fine work!
Kinda short, but very nice. Could have used another 25-35 minutes 😊😊.
Thanks! This trip was many years ago, taken with a poor camera and before I started taking lengthier/higher quality footage! Hope to get back there one day and make a longer vid!
Thank you for your brilliant documentation ! No one has done it better !
Thanks for this compliment Denis!! Have a terrific day.
Where did you put in?
Hi Martin - put in at this spot on county road 169: maps.app.goo.gl/LibrJdTTSjKEQCUp8?g_st=ic
Awesome adventure down the Nahanni, I think I'd want to bring a rifle though, just in case.
Thanks for the kind words!
What an awesome trip I would li e to do that trip how exciting I would have to have someone with experience in a canoe with them rapids
Headless valley..
Well done, enjoyed every frame of the video. Inspiring!
Pure poetry..greetings from Łódź
Thank you!!!
absolutely gorgeous video brother, gonna be binging your videos, never stop!
Thanks so much for the kind words man!!
that was cool
Ho wow ! certainly the best video about the Nahanni I have seen so far. I will paddle the Nahanni last 2 weeks of August 2023. Thanks for sharing this very good quality video.
Thanks for the lovely compliment! Wishing you safe passage and great memories on this mighty river!
I hope u made it back alive
u back yet?
Amazing trip !
Thanks so much!
Ive read. About. Albert Feily. Gold. Prospecter. And. His. Quests to find. M issing. Goldmine which he never found. He. Always travelled alone. Did all is. Portages alone. On river. He said the river kept. Changing. Difficult to navigate. But. No mention. Of strange creatures. Or any such meetings. !!!!
He certainly lived a remarkable life!
I would like to have met him. !!
Great thing!
