Very good. I am heading a 2 canoe trip down in July 2024 great to see the perspective from the drone. Looks like mild bugs and great hiking with fantastic views. It will be a bit of a change from the tundra we experienced last year on the Hood River. Looks like consistent gradient and few portages. Thanks for sharing.
2 portages at our water level. Tons of hiking. Don’t miss Aquamarine Lake. Bugs weren’t bad despite the heat (sometimes +30!). Hit me up for other details if you want. Fantastic river. How was the Hood?
Thanks! 25 years ago, my buddy Peter (in most of my videos) who has an industrial sewing machine and skill using it, took 4 Coleman PFDs and modified them for our group with extra zips, nylon pouches and D rings etc. so they are basically home made. They don’t make that style of PFD anymore but it was a classic. Boyant, easy to move in and great for staying warm in cold weather.
Thanks! Hess is on my bucket list. Nice that you can end on the Stewart and do a loop to make an easy return. Good luck with the planning. Check out Jim Baird’s videos here on YT. He has paddled solo on a couple Yukon Rivers and I think he has done the Hess.
you guys made it look easy! where did you all learn to paddle? you all were awesome! plus amazing drone and video footage at the same time at that crazy pace, the water level looked high! are you guys from new Brunswick ? I saw Fredericton at the beginning , that is a haul all the way up there! thanks for sharing 👍👍
Thanks. We cut our paddling chops on our local New Brunswick rivers where we all reside. Definitely a long trip to the north, but with the time change from the east coast, we can arrive in Whitehorse in a single day and still be there for supper!
I never heard of it, I had to look it up. Nice pictures!
Amazing adventure! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for sharing the adventure with us, guys.

Great video guys and good padding skills!
