    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.

    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!

    Maybe a good idea to paint a ruler on side of your canoe where you could measure the fish you catch!!!!

    @rogerpalin5864 Рік тому +1

    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.

    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

    Friendly tip from a fellow paddler. Tie your painter lines to the grab loops. A better place to be applying those kinds of forces.

    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.

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!😃

    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

    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.

    Great video as usual Noah. Glad to see the Canyon made it out okay. Question for you: why don't you tie your gear to the thwartsof the boat so that if you dump or pin, it doesn't go down the river and you can just untie it and throw it up onto shore? It definitely takes a bit more time, like a few minutes extra, but after having lost some gear or taking a long swim or paddle to go find it, I always tie in now. Keep up the great work love your videos.
