    If there was ever a video that deserved a thumbs up, its this one. You really captured the camaraderie between the three of you and the joy you all experienced. Having those two there must have been a huge mental boost after that first day. Wow John, write a book pal. Would be a best seller no joke. Brilliant video yet again.

    Wow, great job at navigating the rapids! I was on the edge of my seat through most of them! I have never paddled whitewater, it attracts me but at the same time scares the crap out of me. lol Too bad on the canoe damage and the leaky dry pack. People would laugh at me when I used to canoe trip because my sleeping bag and clothes were always in dry bags inside the dry bag. lol My worst fear, sleeping cold or should I say, trying to sleep cold. lol Wonderful adventure, you three seem to be great travelling companions. Thanks for sharing. :) :)

Can't believe you dumped on the first set but that's just part of what great adventures are made of. Thanks for taking us along. My heart rate picked up on some of those rapids as I could imagine yours was exhilarated so nice call on the dual screen through those shots Bro and perfectly timed slo mo's. 31:23 amazing shot for a guy with no camera crew. If this wasn't done with the drone, this shot was A LOT of work and the bird call is icing on the cake, much respect appreciation.

    My dad and I did the Tat 30 years ago in low conditions (neither of us had any whitewater experience). Many of the swifts we waded. I think I remember that falls. Dad caught brookies at the base and saw a lynx on an old forestry road nearby. Im a bit foggy on the details, but I do remember eating pike each night, the brook trout, and the lynx. Good times with pop. Thanks for bringing me back in time on this one! Always enjoy your work

    Super fun trip! Would love to see you do more of this over the summer. You only get to learn something once and it would be a fun experience to see you try to develop a new skillset as a challenge this year. We don't normally get to see you struggle with much so it's fun to see an aspect of canoeing you're not totally familiar with. Excited to see the hot tent retired for the season and the canoe back in action.

    I was (and still am) afraid of class III and above whitewater. Just the risk of loosing gear and getting wet as a tripper outside of bodily risk made it uncomfortable. This video captures that perfectly and most importantly the facing and conquering of that fear. I just finished a 2 day whitewater clinic last weekend. That experience was life changing in so many ways. One on one instruction in a group of 10 moving down class III+ crystal clear whitewater. We paddled Whitewater canoes and kayaks. I highly recommend it if a local group has it in your area.

    Enjoyed the video as I do all of them. Your camp meals always look so delicious. I would buy a cookbook if you were to produce one. Looking forward to your next adventure.

      Thanks a lot Ricky! Kevin Outdoors on UA-cam is a fantastic resource on backcountry cooking (some of my meals are from his cookbook)

    Cool to see you out with Brad. My tripping partner has tripped with him. Definitely somebody you want around if you're going out of your comfort zone in those conditions.

      Absolutely, it was really great to learn from him and feel supported if something went awry

    Our favorite portage in camp drink: of course we all might prefer a good red ale but nobody in their right mind portages in large amounts of beer, so I like hot toddies. Ingredients: 1/2 package of Swiss Miss instant Apple CIder per drink, 1 cinnamon stick, small amount of honey, 2 shots of Baccardi 151 rum (151 because a little goes a long way) boiling water. Combine all ingredients and enjoy, drinking through the cinnamon stick makes it a little sweeter. As far as simple cold mixed drinks: purify a few liters of water, add one cap container of Crystal Light per liter and mix extremely well, add bourbon or your preferred spirits and enjoy.

    Man that scared me too! And Xander escaped what could have been a disaster at the end with that rock. Kudos to you for realizing that we have to learn how to fail if we are to grow. Your videos have quickly risen to the top of my watch list. Now, you need to find a canoe manufacturer to sponsor you with a new whitewater boat. Get out and promote your channel to those companies. Sorry, just a little motivation for you. But, watching you do the patch was interesting for me. I have experience wrapping a solo boat around a rock. It was a very long time ago before I understood the power of moving water. Ain't no joke! Looking forward to more, stay safe.

    Solid job John! Ive dumped plenty in white water and you handled it well. Great campsite at the class 3 ledge. You should give Nick Harland a follow. He does solo canoeing out here in Alberta and does alot of whitewater. Some beauty scenery as well.

    I doff my cap to you young elf. That took some 'plums' to get out of your comfort zone, an adventure to remember.
