    Great edit and I enjoyed your drone footage and camera angles especially. I’ve always been nervous about making my videos longer than 15 mins or so because I figured people wouldn’t watch it all but I’ve been wanting to do a longer more documentary style video for my northern trips. Maybe next time. We paddled the Bonnet Plume last summer and when we passed the Snake confluence, it was 1/3 of the volume you guys had. Everytime I hear of people’s Snake River trip, they complain of low water. Goes to show annual variability up there. Cheers and good luck on future trips.

    • @tailwindsnorth
      @tailwindsnorth 6 дней назад

      Thanks! Lots of people seem to enjoy the longer more detailed videos. It’s a challenge keeping things charged up and running in the varied weather on those trips and the editing time is significant. We saw some videos of some folks that did the snake only a few days after us and the conditions changed considerably. On the plus side we weren’t running into shallow boulder gardens on this run. Thanks for watching. We have seen quite a few of your videos before while researching potential future trips. Great job!

    • @tailwindsnorth
      @tailwindsnorth Месяц назад

      Hi there. We did not have dry suits or padding pants (wouldn’t recommend hip waders) but they would have been helpful in the creek section at the start and if it was cool and rainy. We went at the start of July and it was very hot. The water is still very cold so it’s something you might want to consider. Definitely recommend neoprene socks at a minimum.

      It depends on the area and the type of spring we have but usually they come out a few weeks after the ice is gone (blackflies breed in fresh/moving water). Generally they are bad for a few weeks in mid-late May in Ontario and southern Quebec and are mostly gone by mid-June.
