What was supposed to be a chilled canoe camping trip down a familiar river turned into anything but. We flipped the $1 canoe, I almost drowned and lost thousands of dollars in gear. A humbling experience let's put it that way. I managed to pull together this edit with the footage that we managed to capture. It’s raw, it’s honest and quite a bit different to my usual vids. Hope you enjoy. Z.
So fucking sketchy mate. Glad you boys are alright. I can only imagine how rattled you must have been after that. It's a good lesson for everyone out there to never be too complacent on a river. Mother Nature will always have her way with you.
Yeah we definitely weren’t taking it seriously enough, although I think this was the only major obstacle on the river. Proper scary experience. Crazy ocean knowledge doesn’t translate at all to the river
Thought the Canoe was a goner when it got set loose....Glad she lives to tell another tale. Looking forward to the Comeback story
Don’t give away the plot twist haha. She needs a few patches but she’ll ride again
I'm glad you're both okay. That's crazy. The water flow of that particular River can vary pretty much it would have been easy not to video any of it once that had happened but it was really good watching and you guys did really well to make the most of a bad situation and it always hurts to lose sentimental stuff. All the best for your next adventures sheppy
Thanks mate. Yeah the river was almost too tame until it wasn’t. Pretty sure this is the only major obstacle on the whole thing! Human error 100% and we’ll be more switched on next time. Yeah we thought we had to document it so the whole trip wasn’t a complete failure. Glad you enjoyed - cheers Z. 🍻
Capsizing and losing all your gear turned this in to a proper adventure. Raw and real. 100% worth the hit to the bank account.
Yeah it certainly felt that way. Glad you enjoyed the rawness I really just wanted to capture it as authentically as possible with the footage I managed to get. Haha you might not say that if you knew how much this cost me but glad you enjoyed 👊🏻 🍻
@@zander_williment 2-3k by the sound of it. That will be a week of ad revenue if you stick this out for a few years. Got the x-factor to make it big mate 🤙
@@MARS72JJ that’s a conservative estimate haha. Yeah I’m not going anywhere - that’s the dream mate, thanks for the support 🤙🏼
In a world of unknown and controversy, this is the entertainment we need - thank you good sir
Glad you are both safe, how scary! And walking in socks through blackberry bushes OMG really unlucky!
Last year our kayak flew off a shelf in a river that we couldn’t see until we were right on it, we went flying through the air and my Go Pro is also at the bottom of a river. River beds must have some great footage by now!
Enjoyed watching your clip even if it was at your expense it made for some great viewing 🙂
Haha yeah just in case it wasn’t hard enough already the blackberry bushes were attacking me.
Woah that sounds hectic. Yeah apparently my misfortune makes for good viewing. Glad you enjoyed 🍻 Z.
Glad you’re safe Z, great clip! 🙌
Thanks dude. Hard one to edit coz there was so many missing pieces
Glad to see you guys got out fiscally unscathed and I’m sorry about all the gear! I’m looking forward to your next adventure, much love from the Netherlands!!
Thank you. Hopefully will have my camera gear up and running soon. I have a trip on a hardrive I’ll edit together on the next few weeks. Tell your friends in the Netherlands! Thanks for the comment - cheers 🍻 Z.
Glad y’all are ok!
One of those ones where it could’ve gone really bad, but got away scott free. Very lucky.
Me and some mates had a nearly identical situation on the Clarence river. Great video!
Fuck mate. Scary huh?!? Glad you enjoyed. I felt like I got a stack of experience real quick on this one haha
Thank you for sharing this video. Makes you appreciate nature and showing the downs and the ups is still a good watch. Glad your alive
Ahh thank you. Yeah it was a scary situation - on one hand it was super scary, on the other I was totally fine. Could’ve been much, much worse
heavy as mate, glad you guys came out alive.
Thanks dude. Yeah this trip went from zero to 100 real quick! 🍻
Entertaining that’s for sure…great edit
Thanks Elly x
Mate this is really heavy, glad your ok but that sucks about all your gear. Also big props to being able to make this video with a good flow and narrative ... while also loosing heaps of your footage and only having one go pro to film everything on.
Thank goodness you still had a few beers to keep you company that night 😂
Thanks dude. This video was so hard to edit everything I normally do I had to throw out the window. Then my hardrive corrupted halfway through I couldn’t catch a break. This edit probably doesn’t do the adventure justice but glad I got something out.
Glad you lads are ok. 😅 Submerged logs are the biggest hazard on any river. Avoid and approach with extreme caution at all times. Was an exciting watch tho I was sad you lost your gear.
Thanks mate. Yeah I reckon we took a lot of experience from this trip. We made a lot of mistakes and learnt a lot real quick! We got lucky
Glad you’re okay, and thank you for still pulling together this work of art video! Elite content. Happy to send you $1 to replace the damaged canoe if it helps 😂
But seriously, get yourself a Patreon and I’m sure there’s a few of us that’s likely to help to get stuff if it means you’ll keep doing great videos!
Hahaha that cracked me up. Yeah never really thought I’ve had a big enough following for a Patreon but maybe.
Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the vid - should be back up and running shortly. Cheers 🍻 Z.
EDIT: This video was actually filmed on Wiradjuri Country not Wodi Wodi country. That's my bad.
Wild! Good on you mate. What an experience. Keep up the videos!
Thanks mate. Haha it was painful to cut this one it was definitely an experience. New vids will be up and running again soon
MATE, feel for ya. hopefully you are not put off trying something like this again. Been in a similar situation as well but not quite as hectic as yours. Glad you pulled out the other side OK.
Can't wait to see you out there again!
Oh we’ll be back don’t you worry about that. Thanks mate makes for a good pub story now. 🤙🏼
Hectic! Glad your okay! Rip Canoe
RIP? Maybe she loves to see another day
Brutal! Water always wins. Glad you boys are okay. Hope you manage to sort some new camera gear soon.
Very brutal. Was super humbling, should have new camera gear sorted in the near future. Can’t wait for a redemption mission.
Epic Z - one of best yet
Thanks Spen! Turned out good huh
Keep these videos coming!
Will do Galv
Dude! that was heavy. Someone send this to Sony to hook you up with a new camera. I'm feeling for you.
I'm pretty sure you knew this was going to happen though, so glad you didn't loose all that footage at the start where you were pretty much predicting it.
Happy to see you both come out alive though. Damn good story in the end!
Haha I know watching the footage back it’s almost like I manifested it. Some scary moments and a newfound respect for the power of a river
I’m so relieved you both survived that. Could have been a tragedy.
Yeah just lucky there was a gap in the debris. Very lucky.
I can't believe you put this on youtube...maybe a candidate for one of those funniest home video shows. The lesson here is learn to pack and handle a canoe before going out in those conditions.
My whole channel is about authentically documenting my adventures. In this case we were underskilled and maybe overconfident but you gotta give us points for self rescue. I reckon we got 5 years experience in this trip alone. I will never underestimate a river again
@@zander_williment Yep gotta give you that...safe travels.
Mate glad your ok rivers are no joke take it from an ex whitewater kayaker
Keep the videos coming 😊
Yeah it was a big reality check. I’m confident in the ocean but this river nearly had me. So so scary. Videos are gonna keep coming. Cheers brother
So wild boys! Could have been real bad. Made for some good viewing though
I got monkey glands - can’t die
This is so fucked up - didn't realise it was this hectic - glad you're alright man...
It was one of those situations where it could’ve been real bad, but turned out OK. Sketchy for sure
Tough gig but made for a good vid at least !
The toughest of gigs haha. Thanks mate 🍻
Holy shit, that was narly. Made for a great video though 😂
I knew the people would enjoy my misfortune haha glad you enjoyed
Was this after the huge rainstorm they had the other day? The river would’ve been freezing! 😬
Nah this was a while back - first weekend of winter. Haha I wish I could edit that fast. We had 30mm the night before. Water was freezing tho.
