      Superb Jon! You have a real knack for this! Thanks. Another question if I may? In another video I think I noticed your buddy (red canoe, IIRC?) had a cover over the bow of his canoe. I think you mentioned he also had more experience in higher class “rapids” than you? He may have even taken your canoe down a particularly intense section? Anyway, it would seem those covers would be huge “safety” item in steep rapids, and/or even getting caught in high wind/big open water crossings. In essence, you’ve turned most of the canoe into a kayak, and would keep a lot of water entering the canoe unexpectedly! Clearly, again, I missing something! 😎 🇺🇸🇨🇦👍

    Honestly Johnny, I’ve been watching you for three years. Comfortably almost every video in that time. Dude, this is a masterpiece of you and your style of outdoors filmmaking. You are one of my favourites for the quality of cinematography. The framing, music, colour palette, brilliant editing, makes me hunger for your videos. Picture quality I feel you pay attention to and it’s fantastic. One of the elements I enjoy the most is the cerebral element to your film choices. I’m a big fan of Xander and Jim Baird. I also love your buddy adventures with Xander. I also see you like peanut M&Ms. My man. But honestly I am a huge fan of what you do. You have inspired me to get deep into backcountry canoeing and I am blessed to have my 15 year old daughter be down to go with me for the past several years. I really love what you do as an artist. As a wildlife conservationist. And as a cool dude who gets absolutely great artistic and tasteful shots. I’m sorry for the injury but I feel you have found strength and a new direction as a result. Only the best wishes of recovery and joy to you. Please keep doing what you are doing. Your videos have brought such hope and joy to me over the last few years, I feel I must actually thank you. My man. Thanks John.

Watching Jon and Erin for the past 3 years has been such an inspiration and positive influence on me, it had been so rewarding to watch his journey from those first humble videos to a gifted videographer and artist. That journey of learning with humility and going from strength to strength is very inspirational l. I am grateful and so glad he’s back happy and healthy. It’s been a long worthwhile wait.

    My favourite type of canoe voyage - base camping, fishing, exploring and NO portaging. I used to canoe with a group of non fishermen and always heard "Keep paddling, No fishing! I didn't mind portaging, and was quite fast. But now that I'm Old, I'm half-fast😀

  • @tammyvincent9417
    @tammyvincent9417 Před 11 měsíci

    One more thing. Your portage strategy is on point. My advice; when you heal enough to portage again, don't even tell anyone ( and just keep it like it is. Going downstream is what canoes are made for, especially mine. Maybe put in at a lake and take out at the same place. I know I'm a little older and female, but down here it's pretty common for everyone to just go downstream in canoes. Of course we have more linear rivers than water everywhere like The Canadian Shield. Have fun.😊

    It's amazing how similar that moss on the trees (13:00) looks to the Spanish Moss we have on trees near the coast, and that I saw hanging so thickly on the trees in Savannah, Georgia. It's like a southern moss vs. a northern moss, but they look similar. Congratulations on your channel blowing up (in the good way).
