Thanks for watching! If you enjoy the content be a peach and subscribe to the channel so you don't miss a paddle stroke!
Thanks for taking us along again! Another great vid. You boys should head north to New Brunswick on one of your next adventures and try canoeing the Nepisiguit River from Mt. Carleton to Bathurst , It would be epic and I'm sure you'd love it. Hopefully the boarders open up soon. Take'r easy and see ya on the next one!
Wow great job boys!... Natural History ,Geography, Geology and more + throw in a IPA review cant get any better then that. Another excellent short thanks for sharing Noah!
@@paulenright Thank you sir, glad you enjoyed
Damn! Noah with the knowledge and the beats. Good job fellas
One day I'm going to be going down a river, hit a rock and tell my partner it'll toughen up the boat. He will look at me like I'm crazy 🤪
The old paddles take a beating on those bony rivers.
The demonstration on the widow maker is worth a lifetime subscription to the channel! Thank you!
You boys have ba!!s made of steel. Thanks for sharing.
Good video. I like the way to draw the path you plan to take before you run a rapid.
This is great watch as I start planning spring trips here in Ontario! Thanks for bringing us along!
Noah and crew Great trip nice Brookies 👍👍🗽🇺🇲
Till next time happy padding and fishing 🎣 👍
The Vermonter
Really enjoyed Noahs little geology lesson! Thanks for making great videos guys! I hope to see ya out in the bush someday!
That quartz was incredible I've never seen a piece near that size. I did find a piece of crystalline quartz in the badlands that's like a tiny chandelier.
Truly nothing beats the Galaxy IPA!
Wonderful. Stay safe down there.
Parrsboro boy
Those rivers are not good for a Kevlar canoes for sure. Here in Ontario April rivers are wild . Nice video guys thanks.
Love the videos. keep them coming.
Always a pleasure to follow your adventures. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome 👍
Great work on those sections.
Great trip thanks for posting.
Enough about the quartz, on to the pints! PSCHT! (well, half-litres)
good job, lads!
Another good watch, thanks for sharing :)
Awesome video!
Tough conditions, but still a great adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Yup, I’ve seen those quartz geothermal fluid veins on beach pebbles before. How much can you learn on a canoe trip video? Thanks Noah!
Another epic video. Love it👍👍👏👏
Can't say I was envious as you drove down that snowy road, but you guys made a decent trip out of that river. Nice video work Noah, and enjoyed the geology lesson. Keep adventuring.
My heart races watching you navigate those rapids. Then, when you stand in the water it's up to your ankles so I stop worrying so much.
Do a video on the Bedford basin from the sackful River
Spring tripping, what could possibly go wrong?!🤪😂
Great video Noah.
Thanks for the geological overview, very interesting.
Those trout looked very tasty.
Keep those awesome videos coming brother.
Cheers 👍
Love the Eastern Shore. That scenery looks like places I've been a thousand times. I'm wondering if you've canoed the Liscomb River.
Another great video! I can’t wait to impress the fellas at the camp talking about drumlins.
Preach Andy, preach
Any day on the River is better than a day at work! 🤠
Awesome
I was waiting to see if the Matrix could make it up the road to the truck.
It made it with no troubles!
Another great video, reminds me of similar spring trips in the Tobeatic and Medway wilderness areas. Loved the geology lesson- I live on a drumlin, many of the older houses around here were located on them. As for the widow maker, might have been safer to use a long rope and shake the tree from 10 or more feet away, stand behind another( healthy )tree.cheers.
Here on the coast of Maine, just off New Brunswick most of our rivers and streams have a good drop some class 5 most heavy 3 or 4 and are not passable in canoe, just as they hit tidal water, I waiting to see if you encounter the same drop at tidal water. Love the geology talk, have you listened to Kosmographia with Randal Carlson? He has a whole podcast, video on Drumlins. .Yeah, similar river situation, that sweet river may be a bit more ledgey than what we have. Black flies are just out here, well they've been out for a week. Nice trout!
Thanks for the note. The last 2 kms were very steep and the bridge we took out at was tidal water. I have not listened to Randal Carlson, appreciate the recommendation!
Awesome guys. Don't know if it "toughnens" up your boats or wrecks them... Lol, But you made it.
haha, I think the Canyon would agree with you !
AWESOME !!...Any pointers for some nice spots to canoe camp in Cape Breton ? Thanks, keep on doing what you're doing !!
Thanks Noah!
Looked like lots of fun. Thanks for the ride. Catch you on the next Scavenger quest.
That trip had plenty of adversity, the camp, and outcome worked out very well, good one Noah!
Fun trip, but great to have buddies to split up the work and stay safe.
Nice trip. A bit too cold for me. Not a fair weather trekker but it's late spring, summer and early fall for us.
I've worked my whole 37 year career as a geologist in Nova Scotia so watching your vids brings back lots of memories. Tell me, why do you not disclose the names of the rivers and lakes you travel?
BTW the quartz is deposited from hydrothermal fluids not geothermal fluids. Slight difference.
Thanks George! Regarding the rivers, I have decided not to share locations as I have found there has been implications with promoting specific locations on social media and the internet. It is not my intent to point people in the direction of a specific spot, rather promote Nova Scotia as a whole for it's beauty and diversity.
Awesome trip! You guys are so underrated and deserve so many more subscribers. I don't know much about the UA-cam algorithm but I would suggest making the video titles more in line with what people are likely to search or are interested in, to potentially boost viewers. For example including key words such as "canoeing", "fishing", "wilderness camping" etc.
Yeah like: "How To Toughen Up Your Canoe!"
Thank you Noah, just what the Dr. ordered!👍
Nice to get out in the Spring regardless of the weather.👍
Another great video from the Northern Skavenger crew. Always entertaining and informative. Would love to know the river, we are heading to the eastern shore and might want to avoid this one!! haha
Another great vid.Have watched them all several times.It never gets old.
Great watch as always! I will forgo the usual comment, but... :)
Looks like a good trip. Thanks for sharing!
Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing
Oh Nova Scotia rivers, gotta love em! Boney or not you were out there soaking up the outdoors, fantastic two days. Not sure if you tried anything from Big Spruce brewery but Tim's Beer is my fav, has a piney flavour to it. Thanks for taking the time to film your adventure and share it! :) :)
Thanks for the recommendation Jacqueline, I'm into the pine flavour
This was a fun one to watch, thanks for sharing
Always fun seeing you out.
Seems like the same conditions all over the north country. Snow melted early and rainfall has been scarce! Looked fun though.
oh ! not easy with 17feet prospector. No bugs ah ah. Quite chill weather but warm friendship. Thanks
I love the rock stuff, Noah. Keep it coming. 👊🪨🤘
Me Too! Bonus Info
Another nice vid Noah! I think i saw you parked at the tangier river recently when i stopped to try for a trout....keep up the good stuff!👍
Voodo Ranger IPA.. try it
Thanks for video 😃
Complain about boney all you want. Us lockdowns, at least this one, loved watching this. Thanks sooooo much. Great tip on the widow maker. Shake, shake, shake your booty.
Hahaha, classic Toyota Matrix. Loved mine, but man does that engine ever drone on.
Check out Ol Biddy In Lower Sackville !!! Lots of different tasty beers !!!
Finally an easy trip.
WOW, loved your video. Sandra, you did an amazing job! It was really wonderful to see you gain your confidence as your went further down the river. Thanks again, for taking us along on this adventure. Don't your knees hurt from kneeling so long?
@ 10.01 there's a fish that photo bombs you! Lol the smallest things you notice when watching lol. Great video!
I think that may actually have been the 1/2 lb red devil spoon Jan was casting!
@@mattbalcombe648 it might have been just looked like a fish in the background.
I never thought of the fact that Nova Scotia is really a small land mass and how that affects the river flow rates and how dependent the rivers are for snow pack and rain fall.
Another good 1 boys. I kinda like the short trip video
I know more about quartz now than i ever have.
Came for the canoeing, stayed for the geology lessons.
Loving you post lately bro. I still have that book qued up for ya if this lockdown ever gives
Liscombe? Regardless guys, I miss my NS home, so thanks for sharing!!
You guys really like a challenge. To cold for me.
Is that liscombe river starting in big liscombe? The lake and mouth of the river looked like it
thx guys
Insanely awesome😘
If you like Hazy IPA's, you gotta try Tusket Falls Brewing!
you guys are dope awesome always
Another awesome video! Any talk of more merch? Would love to get a tee or a hoodie!
thanks noah!!!!!!!!! another great video!!!!!! but may i ask what river you were on????
Interesting video Noah. Though it's obvious in hind sight, I never thought why you're many rivers aren't navigable. Also I LOVE the rid bits you give about glacial activity. I mean our whole country, from the Great Lakes, to small, low hills in our back yards are because of those things coming and going away.
Is there any good in those quartz seams?
Thanks Jim, hydrothermal fluid can not only precipitate quartz but also gold, so if you find high-quality quartz veins there is a possibility of gold. A lot of mining companies will investigate large thrust faults that have complex vein networks as indicators of this. Red Lake, Ontario is a great example.
Northern Scavenger Yes, I've learned from watching many mining shows and docs that quartz veins can have gold. That's why I asked about the ones out there. I've heard something about gold in Ontario, know almost nothing about it. I'll look up red lake. Thanks.
Eastern Shore campsites are the worst! Once spent two nights on a lake sleeping on a rock pile before we finally found the right campsite on a sand beach, but it was on our way out, LOL
haha, yes!!!
For the algorithm! ⚔
Where's there's quart veins there's gold.
Lovely little trip.but the weather for outdoors,not much ya can do.here in ontario the weather for being outdoors kinda ducks.
Great video ! What type of paint have you put on your Esquif ?
Polyurethane paint. Although it looks nice, the real reason was to add a little more durability to the bottom of the boat.
Hi!! Love you videos!! I Have to Ask... It's the second time I see something that looks like a pool noodle around one of your paddles... Is it for floatability ???
Hi Lainy, you got it. Floatability and for visual if we lost one in the rapids. Our paddles are one of our most critical pieces of gear.
Just kiss marks.. they got you home... well done boys
Question - It seems like you guys use mostly gravity water filters(?), is that mostly due to water volume or ?? Just curious if you have tried other filters over the course of time. Thx, enjoyed the trip !
Gravity filters are great because of volume and because you can filter water passively while you do other things. I also use the tablets but I'm not a fan of the chemicals.
An overnighter with two canoes can carry a lot of IPA. Eh?
So long as there’s no long-ass portages...
@@plugprod I've found that a bottle of Canadian rye weighs far less!
What part of your risk assessment made you conclude that whitewater helmets weren't necessary for this or many of your other trips?
Are the animals with big teeth and claws about in this weather or will they stay in their dens? Here, when out in the forests, we have to be careful of drop bears 🐻
In Nova Scotia we have black bears which are generally skittish around humans. I've never had any issues with them.
So how did the matrix manage down that road??
It had no problems, I kept a consistent speed and sent it!
Where? what lakes ? where did ya hit the ocean ?
Nice trip. What was the name of the River?
What river were you paddling down?
I was wondering how/where you guys get your paper maps? I'm in NB and always find it can be a pain to get decent maps on paper
Hi Liam, we like using www.caltopo.com. It's a great resource to make custom maps.
