Germans are great trekkers but Europeans often cannot fathom how deep and dangerous the north american woods and deserts are. But their overconfidence was overcome by heroic trekking. Great story.
This channel makes just having heat and a bed feel quite luxurious 😊
Not gonna lie, sometimes I feel the same after researching some of these stories.
😂 so true I live in midwest of the United States and today’s low is -27° and the high is -4°F. The winds are howling and the snow drifts go above my head. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for my warm home, comfy bed, and food. & beer ☺️
Great stories! ❤
those things are luxury. don't take them for granted!
"they meticulously planned what they would bring" except for the canoe, the most important part-and somehow were unaware of the bug factor. Why didn't they obtain another canoe at Oxford House?
I went on a canoe trip in Ontario for a month in 1976. We only met one other canoe and they spoke French and we didn't. We had 7 canoes and 14 people in our group. Safety in numbers. No GPS back then and we were going lake to lake, and managed to get lost a lot. Those deer flies or black flies were terrible. Dragging the canoe? Biggest mistake ever. Yes, they do earn respect for making it across all that muskeg!
Yikes, that sounds like a sketchy trip. And the deer flies, ugh! Those are worse than black flies and mosquitoes to me. Super impressive that Wolf and John walked through muskeg for that long!
Awesome story telling! Visitors from Europe are often not aware of the vast distances and the wilderness of Canada. No one with any back country experience would attempt a wilderness trip in a "Canadian Tire" canoe!
Or try to bushwhack in that area!
The whole continent is unfathomably large. It's a 10 hours drive from the southernmost town to the northernmost in Germany, and it's so hard to imagine how that doesn't even really make a dent when you're driving in Canada or the US.
@@keepXonXrockinAustralia is the same, there are parts of the fwy in the desert where there's 400km between towns with no way to refuel in-between, and some of those towns run out of fuel at times themselves!
It's not THAT bad, I've crossed the desert from Port Augusta to Darwin and back, alone, in my dingy 1998 ford laser in my early 20s. (The total trip was nearly 7000kms)
I don't think we here in Europe can comprehend how huge and vast the wilderness really is there. even if you're "in the wilderness" here, you can't walk more than 1 day and not find civilization (this is just estimate I have no idea, but for sure there's nowhere to walk for 10 days in complete wilderness with no cellphone service. unless in Russia, siberia)
@@fastinradfordableSiberia isn’t in Europe.
Canoe lesson 101: unless your in DEEP water, ALWAYS use a polyurethane canoe! In fact, fiberglass is flimsy. Great coverage again. Good video. I love that you use REAL photos, and not random stock photos of random people. I just cannot watch them. This is good!!
I try to use the real stuff if I can find it! And I look hard! Thanks for watching.
she uses random stock too. but I agree, the more real stuff the better.
I'm really curious why it's different in really deep water?
@@jamesnurgle6368 probably because you won't be dragging it across the rocks like you will in shallow waters, especially places with rapids, so you don't have to worry as much about puncturing a hole in your canoe
Great story, I was worried! But then again, Germans like to hike and I feel like if anyone would survive a long trek, it would be a German.
😂
You are a great storyteller, just proves you don’t really need the reanactment. Thanks
I appreciate that!
These guys are really lucky!!! As a canadian myself, I can tell you that the canadian wilderness is very unforgiving. Most people would not have survived this ordeal!
It really is great to hear about an adventure gone wrong that nevertheless had a happy ending, especially since that means there is someone left alive to tell the details of what actually happened rather than having to just guess based on clues left behind. Thank you for another great video!
Right? I don't like guessing what happened to people.
It's cool that they could still take selfies while almost dying.
To be fair, I'm not a big selfie guy. But I think I'd go ahead and document my demise for posterity/the internet.
Having come from Germany, I certainly understand the Go To The Max attitude of many Germans - been that way for a long time. These two guys had skills and physical prowess to endure incredible hardships - I could not name even one person I know who would survive this kind of adventure. Never mind the good advice given after the fact about these two doing this adventure, I think the takeaway should be that for any serious adventure, where you are unfamiliar with aspects of the trip, first reach out for some advice from people in the know. You should at least get a heads up on what you might be dealing with, and what can go wrong. Great story.
WWII.
Checkmate.
Nice to have a happy ending and there's nothing wrong with a relatable, more reasonable story. I'm not likely to go solo kayaking the Amazon or summit K2 but I have done a lot of hiking, camping, and canoeing. Good to have a refresher of how things can go wrong even under somewhat normal or at least understandable circumstances
It's good to have a nice ending with some teachable moments.
I’d love to see the looks on their faces when they took that first bite of pizza. Also that’s very sweet that those other guys worried so much about their survival but I hope it didn’t ruin their trip. I’m sure they were relieved to find they made it
Just some days ago I walked for a few kilometers through a forest which burnt down 6 months earlier. So I know how exhausting it is to climb constantly over all those tree trunks. And because I spend some weeks during the last years hiking through the Scottish Highlands I also know the difficulties of walking through bog. And on top of that gazillions of mosquitoes and black flies? A vacation in hell would be less terrible than that.
😮 I can’t imagine walking through muskeg for day upon days! It’s a nightmare to think about!
So glad these guys made it out alive!
Great story!
SUCH a nightmare but what preserverance!
Having had my share of epics in the Canadian Wilderness, and now living in the Yukon, I am a firm believer in "Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents P*ss Poor Performance"! Good on them for keeping it together and making it out. "It might've not have been the trip you had planned, but it'll always be the journey you needed"...
Awesome job on the channel!
Wow, I love that quote. It's too true!
A great quote for life in general!
This is very IMPRESSIVE feat! Yes, they made mistakes, but paid the price themselves. They got themselves out of the situation which is impressive and also...nobody can really understand the strenght of will that these two expressed on their LONG WALK!!! If they decided to die 20-30 times per day and regardless, picked themselves up...that is absolutely stunning feat. Also, they very quickly realised their own limitations and after realising their mistakes set to fix them very logical way.
No, I can not say that they weren't knowing what they were doing, but they just were in a new environment for themselves and could not have been prepared for the challenge which they took on in Canada. Champions all the way!
And extremely useful warning story to all! Many lessons for everybody about unfamiliar environment.
They had a strong Will to live.
While they made mistakes, apparently they were fit enough to get through this horrible situation.
Great story! Your knowledge of the area they hiked in really adds to the story
I worked for years in muskeg bush, never again! 😆
Our narrator's pronunciation of "portage" is completely foreign to the way my family and friends pronounce it. I have never heard it that way.
Great video. Your concept for the channel, and your execution, are both superb! Very fact oriented and very analytic. Impressive!
Wow that's some small town Canadian hospitality, I feel like in rural areas I've been to, people are more accustomed to helping one another out, even a stranger sometimes. That said, I was happy when I caught on that they'd survived.
Agreed! The guy who picked them up totally knew something was up when he spotted them.
Isn't Gillam where they finally found those two young murderers on the run (a couple yrs ago?). Crazy area to wander thru. Well done young men. Dealing with the bugs alone are a feat of epic will and endurance.
Cheers!
Yep it is. And these two were actually interviewed about the environment when the others were on the run.
@@adventuresgonewrong oh, interesting!
Your storytelling is amazing .Glad I found this channel.
Fascinating story. They are two very lucky young men and I bet they have a much greater respect for nature now. I doubt they will ever go anywhere again so ill prepared. Thank goodness they had two old world skills that many hikers, canoeists etc. shun now-a-days and that was knowing how to read a compass and how to use it in conjunction with a map. GPS is a fine tool but it too can lead you into extreme danger and has done so many times, costing people their lives. Old skills are worth learning and above all know what you truly are going to face before setting off on an adventure.
You are a natural born storyteller!
Thank you for your work and research, as well as taking some time to include lessons to be learned! You tell these stories very well, and it's easy to see this is subject matter important to you, and with which you are very familiar.
Thanks so much, I love sharing these stories.
Two strong young men with good navigation skills and discipline which saw them through. Adventure means understanding and accepting risk with good preparation. Maybe a better canoe next time😏
I lived in Winnipeg Manitoba for 3 years. The first summer was amazing … dry, hot with the most incredible blue sky. Lake Winnipeg is lovely … warm clear water with one of the too 10 beaches in North America. The next year was a wet winter and spring and in the summer the mosquitos descended like a biblical plague. The third summer was the same. We couldn’t wait to move back to Ontario.
I remember a tv show a few years back where some guys travelled the path that trappers used to take back in the late maybe 1600's or so in Canada which included a very long portage. Worse than any of the the physical difficulties, the bugs drove them close to mad. They were horrible.
They will drive you mad for sure. I worked in the bush in Northern Alberta and the black flies were so constant on your face, you'd feel them crawling on your face at night while you slept!
They're brutal. I've had them so bad that is was safer to pull it out and pee underwater. The horse fly will hone right in on that soft skin and bite you faster than you can react. Real talk.
@@RaneBane If you've never had a horse fly take a chunk out of your chonka then you ant been living.
or your a woman... glad I don't have to squat.
The two men did so well to be logical, keep going on their planned route despite obstacles, and to keep to rationing. It is always difficult to know what you don't know.
3 lemon principle - 3 lemons and you better stop and overthink what you are doing.
In this case: wrong and even damaged canoe, not enough experience, unknown landscape
@@wolfgangkranek376my thoughts excactly
Not logical to use a cheap canoe then keep going when it's falling apart.
Wow! So glad they were ok. I couldn’t imagine having to walk for days in terrain like that. Definitely a huge lesson for anyone who goes on adventures. Great story!
They had youth on their side as well … my admiration for their determination and tenacity 🙂
I’ve seen a documentary on their story but never such depth as you’ve described. What a journey they went through. Thanks for sharing!
It was a wild story that should have gotten way more attention!
Great story, thanks! So glad you popped up on my UA-cam feed!
Welcome!
I love happy endings ..just a amazingly horrible wonderful trip those two had. Bravo!
They were tough to hike that far in those conditions!
having grown up often visiting an area where the muskeg (apparently that's what they are called in English) were often 5m -10m deep, their danger was drilled into me as a child.... we still had a few people gathering berries or mushrooms drown in mud every year in our district though, even with all the community education.
Somehow they were both idiots and really awesome at the same time...thanks for the video!
Ha, I think they’d both agree with that assessment!
keep these coming - so refreshing the way you tell the stories!!
Thanks! I love finding them and sharing them so it’s awesome you’re enjoying them too.
I just found your channel and i'm hooked! Love your storytelling style, i feel that this channel is really going to be big! Keep up the good work!
Welcome aboard and thanks for watching!
Totally love these stories!!!! Thank u Stacey for narrarating!!
Thanks for watching! This was a wild one with a good ending!
You remind me of my science teacher back when i was in grade 9-10, back in 2009-10. Thank you for your educational videos on the risk and rewards of being outdoors and the vast range of what mother nature is capable of.
Grea😊t!!!!!!! Story Stacy, awesome channel one of a kind. bless their hearts so glad they made it this was truly heroic !!!!!!
Pretty tough young guys!!
Paddling can always be dangerous. We embarked on a daylong family paddle down a small river to a local reservoir. Adults were in an AE inflatable tandem. Kids were in single AE Fireflys. Conditions flipped and we were in a desperate paddle for the destination that saw Adults towing children draped in blankets paddling into cold headwinds and whitecaps for 4 hours. To this day, I am haunted by the recollection.
I got my truck stuck back in a canyon in NV in Aug and had to walk out 8 miles in the desert sun alone.
Wow, another great one Stacy! I knew they were not gonna let go of that paddle, it’s pretty cool they cut it in half though. Those poor guys but holy cow, they made it, finally! Thanks for the episode!
Awww, lovely friendship! As a Canadian, I am so glad they survived and are safe and sound.
You did miss some key points. One important one is that they brought a portage dolly from Germany but the rail line lost it so they had no choice (they thought) but to drag it.
As you mentioned, this was a horrible idea and damaged the canoe and set it up for its ultimate catastrophic failure.
I actually had that part in originally, but took it out due to time. I didn't think they were actually going to take it on the trip though? But maybe they were. It's just a big, heavy thing to bring along in the canoe. Either way, I'm glad they survived and shared their story. We can all learn from others mistakes!
@@adventuresgonewrong Surely it would not have been usable in that terrain?
Incredibly amazing story of survival! Just hiking muskeg alone would make me want to give up, sit down & cry…Gratitude for sharing this story. 🙏💙
These two had a great adventure. But as my Dad would say ' what were they thinking'. Luckily they made it out! Something tells me they will collectively go on another canoeing trip. Probably not the Amazon..
Great channel...love it. You have been busy.
I've watched a fair few videos of this genre, and yours are by far the best. The images etc you use are really informative and your narration style is so natural and warm. Binge watching it all now 😁
thank you for the video and story. glad they survived. Looking forward to more stories from you! 😊
We have all done unplanned adventures when young. I am amazed at how brave they were to keep going.
100% I think most of us can relate to bad decision making at one point in our lives. Especially when you're young and less experienced.
@@adventuresgonewrong Absolutely!
I really love your channel and your commentary. Subscribed and look forward to more videos.
Thanks Bonnie, appreciate it!
I absolutely loved this story. I just recently discovered your channel! It's so great
This was my favorite story so far!
It ended with such a great outcome!
Youth and determination, priceless assets.
I felt really sorry for the couple who found their boat, and worried about them, for the remainder of their own adventure.
You are a gifted story teller. I enjoy your videos very much!
Thanks so much! This was one of my faves too, the fact that they trudged thru muskeg for days is pretty unbelievable.
Man if this was a couple of years later, I wouldn’t have picked them up either for fear of them being the two young men from BC who went on a killing spree and ended up around Gilliam!
Thank you for your videos. You are a good story teller, have a good sense of humor, and research your stories well. Thanks for the visuals as well. I lived in Fairbanks, AK, for a few years, and just the thought of muskeg, mosquitos, and bears...oh my! What I learned as a city slicker moving from Los Angeles to Fairbanks was to respect nature. It is bigger and badder than any seasoned/experienced adventurer.
I agree. And I hope these stories can be reminders for people to go out, but be safe and prepared!
Those guys are courageous souls. Glad they had a happy ending. I'm from Manitoba. It's a different world up north.
You know when even the locals go “What!? You guys bushwhacked 100 kilometres?!” You know it’s tough!
I'm so happy they made it!
Same!!! What an ordeal, glad it made for a good story and nothing tragic.
I am really enjoying your videos. Your attention to the details makes them so interesting and fascinating to watch. Look forward to seeing more.
Glad people enjoy the details, I want to know them all in every story! The more you know, the more interesting the story is in my opinion.
And it would appear, authenticity they did find! Be prepared always!
I am a new sub, and I just think you are adorable. lol you are funny and sweet. You tell a great story ;) Thank you so much!
😅😅 thx for watching and appreciating my humour.
I've been watching all of your videos, I really love them and just spent half an hour researching polar bears in Canada! That sighting would have been on my mind too if I found myself in this area, stranded and having to hike...Thanks for a great story and all the research and some good tips at the end too.
They are terrifying. I'm so glad I'm far from polar bears yet I still have nightmares about them.😅
Love these stories, keep ‘em coming!! 💚💚
This would make an amazing movie. Incredible story!
It really would!
Great story! Thanks for telling it so well.
I just found your channel and it’s already my favorite! I appreciate your attention to detail but mostly I appreciate that these videos are about the victims and not about how you do your makeup or nighttime skincare routine. I pray that any social media adventurers considering doing something stupid for the sake of “The Gram” will watch this content first 👍
Haha! Cosmetic advice? Not on this channel.😂
I think it would have been a wiser decision to set up camp at wait until other paddlers came down the river. Trying to travel on foot in the Muskeg is unbelievably difficult. Amazing story and I am amazed they survived.
You are a great story-teller, so important in society going back as far as history can reach. There is nothing so compelling as a well-told story. Thank you!!!👍👍👍
I'm glad they made it., GOD bless all who read this comment.
A feel good survival adventure. Can only imagine the despair they must have felt. Count those blessings gentlemen.
That was a GREAT video! I am so glad I found your channel!!
Welcome!!
I love your whole upbeat & accessible vibe!
Love love your stories .It keeps me out of my depression. Keep up the great work 👍 ❤😂
That’s amazing, hope you’re doing well.
"why you wanna go fuck around that river for?"
Deliverance.
Great story, love stories like this. 👍
Wow! This unexpected happy ending made me so happy. This adventure gone wrong video is the first one I see where nobody dies. I wish all of these gone wron adventures had a happy ending. Great video.
Great story! Glad they have those navigations skills!
Eeeek! I am so excited you did another video. I LOVE your content 🔥
Eeeek! I'm glad you love it!
Crazy cool adventure! You feel so good about yourself that you survived. Big accomplishment 🤓👍🏾
Awesome story, glad they made it.
Really good video. Also, I enjoyed the new credits music a lot.
Sounds like the adventure from hell. Glad they got back home in one piece or 2 pieces.
wow, is an understatement. not the way to do it, so vastly un prepared in so many ways...etc etc. glad they were able to tell the tale.
The Canadian Wilderness.....not as expected, not to be underestimated...respect required. Of course, it does help if you do not drag your lovely cottage lake canoe fully loaded through, well, anything. Thanks Stacie....another good one! Cheers from Ontario 🇨🇦
It’s pretty unreal they made it thru that!
@@adventuresgonewrong completely!
Starting to run out now I have binge watched your content. I still have a few to go. But its like a great book, that I don't want to actually end. Thank you.
Thanks for a happy ending story.
Great and valuable story. I briefly looked into doing the Hayes. Stopped when I read about the polar bears.
Smart!!
Wow so happy these guys made it they seem like great guys. Good thing they were young and in good physical shape or they may not have been so fortunate
Hi from France! This is my second visit on your channel and i'm hooked! Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you!
love your uplifting stories!
I definitely believe they were not prepared.... I believe the "hell" on that river they were travelling....I love these stories and love all your videos too and I liked and subscribed....,
When you presented them at first, you spoke about them in past tense so I for sure assumed they now were dead!
Anyway, nice video
Just found your channel and I'm loving it! Great content and narration! Keep doing what you're doing!!
Thanks so much!
This was an awesome story, thank you for telling! I always wonder if people can dare such a tour without a satellite phone. They have been very lucky and due to their abilities and strength they survived. I like the good ending of the story which easily would have had a bad ending.
Wow. What a story. I love your channel. Subbing and looking forward to many more great stories. You tell them so well. Thank you.
Thanks and welcome!
I am really curious to find out what you have to say about this incident, since it made quite an impact on the paddling community at the time. It was one of the few occasions in which the Canadian press published pejorative epithets in description of their canoe.
I did see that, and Scott’s comments on the canoe were a lot more harsh than what I shared (trying to be PG here). I think it’s crazy they used that canoe, and wish they would have contacted a local paddling group or company to find out more about the route. Then they would have found out what kind of canoe they should be using.
Excellent adventure !
lol I live in PA and I never go further north in summer. People don’t realize how incredibly bad the insects are in the great north!
If you know you know! 😆🦟🦟
What a cool channel concept! New sub. Backcountry canoeing in NW Ontario (Kenora area) and Eastern MB is one of my favourite hobbies. Have you read the stories in the book, "Up the Creek" by Doug McKown?
Good story and good ending.
Beautiful end ❤❤
