    This has quickly become my favourite camping/canoeing channels. The editing, the cinematography, the commentary, the education about geoography/science, it's all amazing. I love how you don't leave too much in the videos too, just the right amount. Great stuff Noah

    I was out grinding through the Tobeatic while this was published this week. I went from Sporting Lake stream, down through Buckshot Lake, up to Cofan cabin, then down the Shelburne to Irving Lake. We portaged over to the Roseway watershed and took out at McGill Lake access point. What a trip. We noticed your comments in the Cofan log book from your fall trip there. That first leg of our trip before Cofan was BRUTAL - great paddling scenery but the portages were so challenging.

    Great to see that country is still pristine. 40 years ago I was lucky enough to paddle and camp along all 5 of the rivers that originate in this watershed. Back in those days there were very few marked portages, so it was lots of bushwacking like you had to do.

    What a wonderful adventure video. Beautifully filmed with explanations and how-to displays of camping skills, canoeing technique and thoughtful recommendations for anyone considering such a canoe trip. That this was a a solo adventure leaves me with both admiration and inspiration to get on with my far less ambitious canoeing and kayaking as a septuagenarian. Many thanks.

    Here on the Maine coast next to New Brunswick our fish experts are also trying to fix the rivers by placing clamshells on the bank to leach into the rivers similar to the lime approach I suspect.

    The best thing about the figure 8 knot is that it's less likely to create a failure point in your rope compared to any other knot. All knots create weak points but figure 8s do so less than any other. It's also amazing how they don't usually get stuck under extreme forces. I took a page from this and applied it to my surgeon's knot, instead of two single overhand knots I use two double overhand knots (two loops per knot), and it's so much easier to untie! I think it's stronger too.

    In addition to the clam shells our fish experts are also dumping trees into the river to make habitat and stir up the river bottom creating deep holes as the current works its way through the downed trees. They are chopping the roots and pulling them over, the roots help anchor the tree so they don't wash away in spring flush. I can only suspect the felled tree could be a similar attempt.

    Just subscribed. While I follow several other canoe tripping channels, the length of this video is just right; not too long or too short. Mainland moose sighting was great. I would be more worried about a Samsquanch though, as according to Bubbles, Nova Scotia is crawling with them.
