I cannot describe how much I appreciate this documentary. My soul aches because I wasn’t there with you guys. It seems like a dream. The photographer and videographer are priceless here. I’m in love with a trip I’ve only heard about a few min ago. I need to do this.
What a wonderful channel ... and delightful video! A wonderful adventure and is just a wonderful experience for us to witness such a beautiful wilderness!!
what a beautiful heartwarming video! Im born 1974 so gona be 50 this year...bushlife, hiking, fishing has been a life long interest since my father started to take me to the forest for fishing since i was 5.
This was very enjoyable to watch. You captured the feel of the place and the time so well. I was 16 in 1974, living in coastal B.C., and I spent many happy hours hiking in the mountains around and near Vancouver. Thanks for this great explore and for sharing it with us. What beautiful memories for all of you.
I just wanted to say - thank you for this video. What a journey! Someday, I hope to see the Nahanni with my own eyes -- in big part thanks to you sharing your adventure!
A friend and I canoed the Nahanni from Glacier lake to the falls in 85.We had no white water experience,I was 18yrs old, and capsized on a bend over a rock before Rabbit kettle.I thought twice about continuing on after the falls and without a spray skirt.That river spooked the hell out of me.
Wow. What a glorious adventure. I'd never even heard about Virginia Falls or the Mackenzie Mountains. Or the Nahanni River. Your dad seemed like a great guy. Thanks a lot for this little gem.
The ‘shine’ of Uncle Jay’s smile after Figure 8 Rapids is magical. What a trip. I can feel the awe of the canyons, one millionth of the awe of being in it. Thank you Bob for this beautiful trip/gift.
Bob, I hope you realize what a wonderful trip this was. I couldn't imagine taking such a large group of friends into such a desolate place. Thank you for this story.
Thank you so much for this wonderful film. I paddled the Nahanni in 2002. Your film brought back many wonderful memories. I’m grateful to have had that experience and to you for sharing yours.
what a wonderful adventure! So fortunate to have such adventurous parents to inspire and lead you! And to have the foresight to keep a good photo journal!
What a wonderful film Bob! I remember when you did this trip and hearing about it…but seeing this footage was a real gift. Thanks for doing this (and so great to see your Dad … well remembered!).
A guy (Malcolm Thomas) that helped me with my canoeing skills, went missing on the Nahanni around '76. Always wanted to do a trip down the river, great video, brings back a lot of memories. Thank you.
the sole reason i went to canada as student and got my PR was to explore its vast flora and fauna. But was soon got stuck in Vancouver city life . Ppl around me didn't want to miss a days work to explore mother nature . I still cherish my solo trip from calgary to Toronto, Williams lake . Soon ppl declared to my family back home in india that i have gone mad . so went back to live in rural india and soon will be back to diacover these areas plus Andes, Rockies, Himalayas . life ia too short to discover all of our earth . May be next life is booked as well .
So no little winged creatures came out at night as one guy has claimed? Said he and 3 others went there and spent the night on the water since the creatures didn’t go on water. He said they were fast white things with wings that would scurry quickly across the ground from sunset to sunrise. Is it true?
24:05 wait…wut? Headless bodies what? Edit: just looked into it. Seems nobody knows for sure what happened but the were out looking for gold so….greed can make people do nasty things.

About my third or fourth time watching
I really enjoyed this journey into the wilderness. Learned about a place I never knew about and now I wish I could visit. Outstanding!
Thank you Bob for this wonderful story telling, images, and visions of what's possible in and with family and friends!

The John Butler background song fits this adventure perfectly.
