As always thanks so much for watching, this was one for the books. ALSO because of you guys we just hit 30 K! You guys are amazing and we love making videos for you. If you're new to the channel or have not subscribed, consider subscribing so you can stay locked-in like Matt with his back paddles. See you on the next one.
Such a rattling moment. Loved the teamwork and you guys are troopers! Jan's MacGyver kayak was amazing. Beautiful specks and really enjoyed the careful handling. Great vid!
As a kayaker I'm very impressed by Jan's ingenuity and willingness to improvise and also yours and Matt's mad skills on that last run. Will never fathom how tandem paddlers do it. Glad you and your vessel pulled through unscathed; looking forward, as always, to your next one!
Those were some boney rapids, I could see anyone getting pinned in there. Awsome work getting it out, we can all learn a ton from this - I thought it was super cool how Jan made it happen with his DIY Kayak. That rapids set at the end was really sick! Awesome video and great edit, my brother and I really enjoyed watching it tonight
If ever there was an advert for having floatation airbags in the bow and stern of your canoe, this is it. Tying your gear in isn’t always necessary but in this situation if it had been tied in then the water wouldn’t have had the same effect on the canoe.
Trout fishing is the best the Colors on a trout are so vibrant and clean probably one of my favourite species to fish for I also do UA-cam but I am just 14 year old kid I do my best but i really enjoy your content 🙂
Hope I'm not out of line answering on their behalves. Just love sharing canoe knowledge. Yes, same boat. Esquif Canyon, and they can certainly take a beating!
That was indeed an absolutely great trip. Camera work was incredible and solid generation and the scenery and the skill at which turned that boat around just left me speechless. Thank you so much.
So impressed with the easy camaraderie and vibe you guys have going on. You seem at ease with each other, comfortable and capable under duress (clearly!). So much to love about this story. Gotta say, it's been some time since I strung my hammock up i the wild and enjoyed a good campfire meal. Watching this just makes me eager to get out there in my new home of Australia and check out it's outdoors. Thanks for sharing!
Gee you guys are getting Spring down where you are. Where I am, close to the Rockies, we still have snow....everywhere.... so it's really nice watching these canoe trips you do.
So awesome. I was sitting on the edge of my chair and I think I might have felt water splashing in my face! The swamped canoe gave me so anxious moments but you solved the problem remarkable
Friendly tip from a fellow paddler. Tie your painter lines to the grab loops. A better place to be applying those kinds of forces. Passing on what I've learned along the way. You guys rock 🤘
Just watched this. Awesome adventure! I got myself a Pocket Canyon a few months ago and I’m anxious for spring rains to bring the water up. Nice to see a real world demonstration of the ruggedness of the Esquif T-Formex👍
You may know this already, But mastering the "double haul" cast is essential for throwing streamers in the wind! In high wind I'll use a double haul side cast combo to keep the line and fly low to the water and out of the wind.
man def getting the most of your money with the canyons pinned ,wrapped ,ground out bottom and the things just keep performing it's the AK-47 of canoes bet ya sales are up thanks to your vids another good one by the way keep up the excellent work guys
best episode yet, guys. as soon as you got hung up at 15:25 or so it definitely started to look like a hairy moment pinned between all of those rocks like that. glad y'all made it out without too much damage. congrats on the 30k, here's to 30k more!
That was a remarkably awesome experience. I think I actually felt some water spray on my face when I was viewing on my chair. The swamped canoe made me a bit anxious but I knew you would turn that situation into a learning experience. Thanks for the continued beautifully video editing and soundtracks as well.
Another awesome video! Always looking for your next adventure! As always thanks for sharing. Also congratulations on 30,000 looking forward to your march to 50,000! Rick From Virginia
Epic runs at the end there!! Glad you faired well when you guys got pinned, those canoes are incredible! All in all a great video, oh and amazing fish too!!
Just so you know, I am sitting here drinking some pink whitney watching this episode. I can’t wait to get out to my cabin out in James Bay. My advice when you pin, lift the boat on the current side as the current will help lift the canoe. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿
Agreed. This is one of the best. Looked like a fun river with the right amount of challenging runs. The only way to improve your skills is to challenge yourself. Big trout on this river too, the combination you hope for out of a memorable trip. Oh, not to mention the excellent crew, most resourceful yet! Thanks Again!😃
Okay so I'm late to the party on this one. But I've got to say I usually paddle whitewater solo, but if I had to take someone in my canoe, there's a seat for Matt in my boat any day. That was fantastic paddling, and Noah did good too, lol. One query though, should you not tie the bow and stern ropes to the end loops? I've seen deck plates ripped off when you try to pull a boat in a pin situation.
it is so different today watching the city dwellers walk down the rapids, when us older fellows used to run, speed going through, staying in the fast current, the guy in the front picking the route and stroking for speed, the guy in the back keeping the canoe straight in the river, and you tried not to upset the canoe, everything was tied in, it was a lot of fun
Holy jeez! Pinning the canoe and losing gear...precisely why I hike instead 😄 well...that and a shoulder injury from a storm on a trip on Opeongo 😜 Better than any regular TV show!
What a amazing video. Glad everything turned out alright. Very powerful paddling and clever kayak maneuvers. I’ve wrapped my kayak on a down tree root in the river. You learn by mistakes. Thanks for sharing this. Things don’t always go as planned.😘
Glad you guys got out of that mess. I've been stuck a couple of times. Not fun. I once read that a 17' canoe filled with water weighs close to 2 thousand pounds. I believe it.
Love how you present your trips. The views are always spectacular. Great appreciation for taking the time to explain your thought process on the different aspects.
You guys did well. Jon you made that kayak do the job that splash cover was amazing. I’ve really enjoyed watching your trip. Thanks again. Cheers from Ontario.🇨🇦👍

Thanks Jon, hope you've been getting into the trout up north
Your hobby.......making river adventure videos. My hobby......watching your hobby.

Thanks Xander, score one for Jan's ingenuity
Love the blue Walmart tarp spray skirt! Epic!
Maybe a good idea to paint a ruler on side of your canoe where you could measure the fish you catch!!!!
If ever there was an advert for having floatation airbags in the bow and stern of your canoe, this is it. Tying your gear in isn’t always necessary but in this situation if it had been tied in then the water wouldn’t have had the same effect on the canoe.
Excellent video boys... few giant's
Very nice great from Germany. I love your videos. I miss Kanada.
therre is just something magical about the sound of spring peepers at dusk......
They are my favourite sound!
Trout fishing is the best the Colors on a trout are so vibrant and clean probably one of my favourite species to fish for I also do UA-cam but I am just 14 year old kid I do my best but i really enjoy your content 🙂
Keep doing what you love to do man. Nice Stripers!
Thx guys 😊
Way to keep your heads and work together, boys!
Such an innocuous looking rapid. You wouldn't think you could get pinned there!
Is that the same brand of canoe you used in Labrador. Seems indestructible. Thanks for sharing

You know it's near the end when the window boards come out 😢👍🍻
15:42 ‘we’re good!’ Awesome work Noah. Cool head, accept the situation, move on. Another great video 👍
Whoa!!! That was some whitewater gentleman 👏 What a blast despite the ups and downs and thanks as always for sharing your adventures 🙂

Great skill and team work enjoyed this one
That was the best video I have watched ,Love all the instruction for paddling white after and lining rapids
That Canyon's been through a lot!!

Super video guys. Well done. Thanks again for not mentioning where you were.
Your channel is absolutely killing it. Some of the best content available! What river was this?
Beautiful whitewater runs. I would still be there throwing flies. So much water to fish. But covering ground just takes over!
Great trip, great filming, great storytelling, great chemistry. All in all amazing adventure! Thank you
Drybags are so worth investing in.
Thanks guys. Another awesome video 👊👊👊
Wow what a fun adventure with rhe boys. Nice rapids, a little bit of trouble. And nice weather.

Gotta love those rec kayaks-they work better than they should on trips like this.
Nice rips! good paddeling! I'd be frustrated sometimes too haha! nice fish '
Wow ! It's gonna be hard to top that trip. That was awesome 👌
Another good vid boys, time on the river with your buddies, sun on your face & some fish!....what more can you ask?
Your paddling partner with the blue helmet is great!
wooohoooo, Noah your the BOSS!! Beautiful, exciting and what a ride!!
Nice job getting out of that jam with the canoe. Those specks were awesome. I love the way you handle and release your fish. Excellent job. Thanks 🇨🇦👍
Always a joy and a pleasure.! Thank you for sharing.! Thumbs Up.!
Another awesome video! Always looking for your next adventure! As always thanks for sharing. Also congratulations on 30,000 looking forward to your march to 50,000!
Rick From Virginia
Thanks Rick
the rivers are alive with the sound of music, lol
Just got home from a 16 hour day, this is my decompress video!
Epic runs at the end there!! Glad you faired well when you guys got pinned, those canoes are incredible! All in all a great video, oh and amazing fish too!!
Wow that was intense. Nice fish.
Great video thank u I love April as well
Great episode! And even better trout fishing congrats on the PBs!!!
Just so you know, I am sitting here drinking some pink whitney watching this episode. I can’t wait to get out to my cabin out in James Bay. My advice when you pin, lift the boat on the current side as the current will help lift the canoe. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿🚣🏿
That homemade spray deck was pretty awesome. Jan is a smart guy!
Thanks man - another great one. Congrats on that trout.
Yay perfect timing! Just finished work and I'm in the middle of dinner
Agreed. This is one of the best. Looked like a fun river with the right amount of challenging runs. The only way to improve your skills is to challenge yourself. Big trout on this river too, the combination you hope for out of a memorable trip. Oh, not to mention the excellent crew, most resourceful yet! Thanks Again!😃
Very much enjoyed watching. Nice to see when catching trout that you are not going to eat you leave them in the water to be released.
Am thinking your Go-Pro took a beating ! Some monster fish...I'll be honest, I was in tears w/Jan's kayak...
Great trip ! The time on the water is never a wasted time (translate from a old french song ) it’s always a gift when your new adventure coming up.
Quite an adventure, guys. Great watch! Thanks for filming your trip!
Another great video. Thank you. Beautiful trout. Congratulations on two personal bestsfor N.S. brookies for you guys.
Great footage. I love how you left the "real" parts of canoe tripping in it. What great memories and even better tripping partners.
Thank you for your content
Your trips are amazing ..... !

Thank you for the kind words!
Great video. Love the spring fishing runs. I know that spot you swamped her, scouted it before and said Nope and bushwhacked around it. LOL.
Awesome
You guys are the best. Great adventure and great production. And the music choices are super.
Wow! What an awesome trip! Had no idea Nova Scotia had such amazing rivers.
Just had to watch this again! Amazing!
Holy crap! Nova Craft canoes are really good. Great you made it out guys! Thanks for sharing
Esquif Canyon, The ! river Truck

One hell of a finale!!
Great water work!!
Another gem of a trip!
That was crazy yahoo👍😎👍
Thanks for sharing
Holy jeez! Pinning the canoe and losing gear...precisely why I hike instead 😄 well...that and a shoulder injury from a storm on a trip on Opeongo 😜
Better than any regular TV show!
Great! Just great! Lots of thrills and bumps! Well done. Thanks for that, Noah and team.

Just got one word "AWESOME" thanks for posting!!
New subscriber here... all the way here in Alberta.
Great trip fellas, glad to see you pull through. Some beautiful Specks too
Calm and collected in when bad S*&T happens is the way to do bro. Another great trip boys
Wicked trip! Love the whitewater sections and congratz on the PBs
For trips like this you should totally get a 360 camera! The multiple angles would be amazing
Glad you guys got out of that mess. I've been stuck a couple of times. Not fun. I once read that a 17' canoe filled with water weighs close to 2 thousand pounds. I believe it.
Love how you present your trips. The views are always spectacular. Great appreciation for taking the time to explain your thought process on the different aspects.
Great trip, beauty fish and a well deserved 30k.
Great trip! Those canoes are near indestructible!
More excellent stuff, Thanks guys!
Awesome adventure..., nice trout "..."........
Awesome trip! Nice Brook trout 👍
Nice adventure. 👍🏻
Awesome...you gotta try the Sutton River in Northern Ontario...brookies like you have never seen before.
You guys did well. Jon you made that kayak do the job that splash cover was amazing. I’ve really enjoyed watching your trip. Thanks again. Cheers from Ontario.🇨🇦👍
