Robert Perkins has been making documentary films since 1987. He learned "on the job" when he made his first doc with a Super 8 camera and 110 rolls of film during a seventy-two day solo canoe journey in the Canadian arctic. Since the success of his first award winning film (Into the Great Solitude) on PBS and in England on Channel 4, he has made seven more documentaries in the vein of "Environmental Storytelling." A trilogy of three films was aired on PBS under the title of One Man's Journey.

Can't get out In a word, your video is awesome. such videos are in great demand. If you do these things correctly. Hopefully you will get a lot of visitors. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. If i can help a wonderful person like you. Feel lucky. I will cooperate with you in all kinds. I am waiting your reply,,
Hi Rob, I am getting divorced, which is sad but for the best, but one of the many consequences is we have to divy up the canoes and paddles, there is a redtail paddle I love and hope to keep.
Hi Robert. I have tagged my comment on to this video. I just wanted to say that I watched into the great solitude on channel 4 when it was first broadcasted and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was 24 then. So imagine that when I chanced putting in the search engine of RUclips after all these years I was able to watch it again. I will definitely watch the other documentaries as well. Thank you again. Matt
Welp I was gonna add my two cents worth, but only because I wanted to congratulate you on your fine effort to canoe the whole of Britain. Aye, but my two cents were diminished and so I can only offer you my: Congratulations on a fine effort to canoe the whole of the British Isle - from England to Scotland. WTG
Thank you for your comment…. I’d say there are levels of respect and appreciation for life. To take a life can be seen many ways. I’ve a similar disagreement with people who consider hunting a sport….. a sport is like tennis or football where willing contestants agree to get together….you could even include skiing where it’s a contest between you and the mountain……Applied to hunting birds or deer I’ve never heard of a deer or bird consenting to be part of the ‘sport.’ I admire Cleveland Amory who turned the 2d amendment gun rights argument on its head by creating the bumper sticker that said, “I support my right to arm bears.”
Wow, so happy to see you came through my back garden. The yellow pickup was at Walton Quarries just above Bolton, spent many a summer day rock climbing in them. Sad to say things haven't improved on the Eden 40 years on. But I have enjoyed a trip or two down the Lune and Spey. I think the rapid where you got a soaking is known as The Washing Machine
That’s fun..! Thank you for writing..! The Washing Machine did clean me up….! I hope you get on the water this summer…!❤
Tell me more…! I don’t remember and I’d like to…. did we meet ?
Robert u touched my soul in Cambridge ur art& the apron on the dish soap. Thankyou for ur inspiration OCEAN ...CANOE
My father's name was John Muir, he wrote the VW book. John Muir is my uncle, and I look like his clone
My uncle smudger (chris) on 40 mins odd gone but never forgotten i hope ur with bucks my mum n leam 💙💙💕💙xxx
Absolute legend. Watching your films and reading your books. I am so much looking forward to your upcoming book release!
WOW what a journey across a barron land scape. Glad you made it safe. This must have been filmed in the 60s.. For all of you explorers be safe in them big woods they are alive.
Robert, did you take down your story of ‘counting coup’ on the wolf? It is a most amazing experience told by you.
Oh Sir , I am so sorry ! I Lost my Girl 3 years ago . Wonderful Woman of 30 years Of Marriage . Time is a funny thing. When we meet again there will be stories to tell, and they will have much to show you 😊
Wow, listening to you read that transcript at 0:38 was like me being back in the early 90's and watching that film for the first time. The potato story was so endearing too! Oh, happy daze ... 🙂🛶⛺
Maybe it was a hot potato.
A wonderful poem. One of my many memories from your video - watched many years ago. Thank you.
Give me a call Rob, be nice to catch up , Gary
"Killing birds and animals is murder there's no other word for it" is a little absurd. There is another word for it, actually several. Killing and murder are not synonymous lol so ridiculous. I agree with respecting and eating the game they harvest, but equating it with murder is ridiculous. Even the bible distinguishes killing from murder.
Great message Robert. Thanks for the reminder to thank our teachers. I love the Nakina area and return there to canoe every year. I have made some great friends in the area including many wonderful first nation families. Was your teacher George Baptiste from the Nakina area?
I loved my spainish and art teachers.I did a painting of a matador in the ring with a bull,got my A.gave it to my spainish teacher for extra credit and let him keep it.we were friends even after school was over. I believe he and the art teacher at one point were talking about getting married.
Rob I always find your videos valuable and worthwhile. Thank You 🙏
I love the poem! I will need to come back to it!
Hi Robert!
I saw Into the Great Solitude around 1990. I was so moved. Your energy and thoughtful contemplative narration and soothing voice were superb. I have watched it many times since and many of your other journeys. Thank you so much for sharing these incredible, beautiful moments in your life.
I think that your videos are great I wish that I could do that but I am a little to old at 80 years
Hope you are well. Your Content is really Amazing But channel Growth is very poor. Just need to customize Your channel now (Setup, Optimize with High-quality SEO) Especially need SEO services.
Hi Robert!
I saw this when it was released and positively loved it, I ended up buying a copy on VHS direct from NHPTV in the mid 90's. So glad to see it available online!
Lol what an intro . I guess as you get older you just get fed up with idiots . I was in the woods yesterday .. I think the cure to political thought is climbing a hill . People are very afraid of nature .
Thank you Robert it was a wonderful voyage!
This was beautiful and touching. Thank you.
St. Mary's of Bethlehem Hospital, London, was the first "lunatic" asylum in the UK , founded in 1247. The pronunciation of Bethlehem was shortened to "bethlem" by the local people, and because the word "bedlam", meaning 'a scene of uproar and confusion' , sounds like "bethlem', it was used from then on to describe lunatic asylums. "It's bedlam in there!" I remember (in Talking to Angels?) you talking about the restraining method used on you Robert, I don't know the spelling but it sounded like 'packs'. This has been a very interesting video, thanks very much for that 🙂🛶
Thank you again for enlightening me. Cheers from Montreal!
Thanks for the story Rob. I always enjoy hearing you tell them.
Been trying to contact you Rob. Keep leaving message for you but no reply????
How you doing rob
I remember your visit with your dad in an earlier movie, it was a touching moment (I’m taking care of my elderly folks)……you look a lot like him now.
Have you ever encountered no-see-em's, or the Johnson's fly (biting house flies) in the artic?...both of them are found in the canadian boreal forest, I'm sure you know, and they can also "want you", really want you badly. Lol. Thanks for the updates my friend.
I too prefer the 50 map but living here in the UK, the landscape is smaller with the geographical features closer together and the 50 is often very useful in identifying which of the myriad of tracks is the one that you want. I also have a set of 25:000 to 1 maps which give 4x more detail than the 50. I use these usually just when I'm exploring places when I know I might be straying from a 'legal' right of way (only in England and Wales; Scotland doesn't have idiotic trespass laws). When canoeing in Canada I used a 100 scale map which was more than adequate.
I must say I do like the 50. But I have cut the sections out so that they fit in my map bag. What I love is that extraneous detail, especially when the river crosses topo lines . I know that there are rapids ahead or falls . all often take a highlighter marker and draw over the maps indicating my trajectory to simplify it at the level you like. I was first introduced to your life by that very trip on the great Fish river, broadcasted on PBS . the one, incidentally, that Franklin's men tried to find on there their last days of survival From King Williams Island. The immensely of the land and its bitter elements is what I am sure has preserved it. It has given life and also taken it.
Beautiful! This reminded me of Sigurd Olson’s wonderful essay about skating across the lake in the moonlight.
Wise words about sport
You could do with your stories having some photos along side your stories , I do interviews if you're ever up for one let me know .
I know that feeling of paddling through the sky . I painted my kayak grey like gun metal , it was the same colour ask the lake and when the sky was the same colour you could get lost in it . Cool stuff New sub here
You paint a beautiful picture, Mr. Perkins. Thank you
Looking forward to the book.
I have enjoyed your adventures I especially enjoyed your trip to Scotland and felt bad for u losing that great knife thanks for the videos and look forward to the book…. Have you ever canoed in Temagami Ontario? It is wonderful there
Hi, I look forward to your book being published. My late wife and I enjoyed your films released through Channel 4, here in the UK. We made some memorable trips together, but nothing like you Arctic paddles. Messing about in boats definitely gets under your skin. Best wishes Al
What a great story! I think I'd have a hard time with the mosquitoes, but I would love a long journey. I even take short hikes at a slow, leisurely pace. Another friend of mine calls it sauntering and highly recommends it as a way to immerse yourself in the experience of being in nature.
