  • A trip from Athabasca Glacier to the Arctic Ocean, 4000km canoeing down three major rivers of Canada. The Athabasca River, Slave River and MacKenzie River, the last being the longest in Canada at 1800km. I began this trip alone on June 21 2020, planning to take two to three months. The starting point was Athabasca Crossing which is the head waters of the river, planning to follow the water all the way to the Beaufort Sea and then east another short paddle to the village of Tuktoyaktuk.

      I did the Yukon (Bennett L. to the Bering sea) solo via canoe way back in the day (1995). Awesome trip with lots of great primitive camping and lots of wildlife. Hope your trip is as good as mine was.

  • @ronkirk5099

    In 2018, I did a 14 week solo paddle in a sea kayak one of the other drainages of the Mackenzie from Summit L. just north of Prince George, B.C. to Tuktoyatuk via the Crooked R., Williston L. (reservoir), Peace R., Slave R., Great Slave L., and finally the Mackenzie R. I thought about doing the Athabasca R. route, but was put off by the tar sands mining and the logistics on my route were so easy- you can ship your boat back to Prince George via motor freight from Inuvik for less than $150.00. Anyway, there are several good ways to do the trip and yours looked pretty awesome too.

    3:54 OMG...that JUST happened...I'm freaking out, man...I'm . But seriously, just discovered your channel, very cool. My dad and 3 buddies canoed the Mackenzie in '69, from Hay River to the Arctic Ocean, in two canoes they built themselves. Good to see young Canadians still have some guts and spirit of adventure, not all Nintendo and Bart Simpson and Pokemon and anime and Magic: The Gathering, etc, etc.

    That cooking stove scares me.. those are wayyy too tippy. Buddy of mine lost a meal on a two day trip cause his tipped over. Whisper light international are way better. They run on any fuel available around the world, I run mine on regular gasoline, 10 years later and a couple litres of gas it’s still going strong.

    So many questions, Video editing, what software is being used, who is doing the editing, where' the internet connectivity considering these are large video files that have to be uploaded? Editing is pretty slick, clearly drones are used, smells fishy for a "raw" experience. No doubt this guy has skills in the wilderness, but something's not right.
