SYNOPSIS
A 30 day, 620 km canoe journey through the expansive wilderness of Côte-Nord, Quebec. The route is designed to traverse the headwaters of the Romaine River, a river seeing significant change as part of Quebec’s major energy project Plan Nord, followed by the descent of the little-known Aguanish River. The goal of the route is to gain a first-hand perspective of the land of wild rivers as we paddle and portage our way across the Labrador-Quebec plateau to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
This trip was supported by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Mountain Equipment Co-op.

Love the surprise ending and looking forward to the next one. The drone shots of the red canoe portaging through the height of land on the background of trees was perfection.
Exactly what I was thinking during that shot!
👌👌
Guys - that overhead canoe shot from your drone at about 20 minutes is unforgettable. Well done!
I wrote almost the same comment….then deleted it since you nailed it. Love that sequence
My favorite Canadian Action Heroes - Noah, Alex, Matt, Bill and, Tauser.
Noah, you seem so much more energetic on these trips than you did back in your Grade 11 Travel and Tourism class!! Glad you have applied everything you learned in that class and made something of yourself! 😝 Honestly though guys, I love your channel and have shared it with many of my friends and family. I will continue to follow your crazy adventures and wish I was there with you. All the best to you and Alex!! - Mr. Tuohy (and my wife, Ms. Flagler (now Mrs. Tuohy).
Hey Mr. and Mrs. Tuohy! Thanks for following along. I still talk about the fact that Mrs. Flagler was the reason I turned around my Math marks and got into Laurier! We knew Keith had been following along but glad to see you as well. Would be great to catch up sometime! Alex
31:04 I give that cornbread flip a perfect 10! Matty B. is the Nadia Comaneci of bushcraft cuisine! Put lots of jam on that...blackflies love a bit of sugar in their wine.
Yeah! Glad to see someone sticking up for ol Matty B!
Northern Scavengers Assemble! Love it, we'll done so far fellas! Can't even wait for the next part!
That drone shot on the portage was art
You buggers leaving us hanging like that. Is it Alex? Another great section. I agree with the others, the drone shot, a red canoe meandering through the woods is so cool! I'm surprised no fish?
You guys are delivering Happy Meals with this series and they've been delicious. "Northern Scavengers assemble" was a Big Mac moment. Smiles for miles. Been loving the duo and I can only imagine what the quad will bring.
So excellent. Getting the band back together.
Not much to say that has not already been said.......You guys are the BEST!!!!!!
Dang, seeing that plane coming in gave me goosebumps, can't wait for episode 6 and seeing the crew battle the land together, let the EPICNESS continue!!!
The ending certainly moved this series from very good to, hmm, one of the all time classics. Very entertaining to watch while the rivers and coastlines are frozen, not beeing able to go and canoe. 💪🏆
I was thinking during an earlier video how good the series was but how it would kick it to the next level to have the other guys with them.
Matt didn't have to twist that arm too hard Noah when it came to having whiskey and a cigar that night! Lol
Can’t really blame him!
Beautiful healthy environment. Mostly healthy trees.
VERY impressive story-telling gentlemen. Your low-key, positive outlook is so cool, drone shots and music at minute 21 and on just EPIC.
Been going through a few rough weeks lately, feeling hella depressed…etc. I look forward to every Thursday tho for these videos. While I couldn’t deal with the bugs, the views you guys get to see make it almost worth it. In between the the thursdays( which seems like an eternity lol) I began looking back through your channel and have been watching alot lately. J wanted to put it out there that you’ve personally helped me alot. While it’s insignificant having something to look forward too has genuinely helped so thank you. Until next week✌️
Nathaniel, thanks so much for your note. I'm glad that we can help out in any way that we can...we're only half way through 🤙
Great job and hilarious ending. Can’t wait for next week.
The rhythm of the camp, very rarely properly captured on film, but you cracked it here. Great series!
Nice videotaping. The tracking, nice points of view and the drone footage of that red canoe working its way through the country was very nice. once again thank you for posting
I was dying when you ate that nasty wrap and said there's sand in it too. Kudos to you both for not going insane with the bugs in your ears at night. I couldn't do it.
So so wonderful that you both share this adventure with us.. so well done boys
I knew something was up when you guys sat longer than normal :) Would be nice to see how your canoe patch is surviving.. I still say you should be given a nice new red canoe...looking forward to the next one.
Parmesan and mustard wrap, what a combo. Imagine serving that for lunch at home to your inlaws. The things that are acceptable when you’re camping.
That ending was epic!
At the hardest moments the comment is always, "We're doing it!" Great attitude!!
Now this is what we call a cliffhanger. LOL can’t wait for next week’s episode.
Love your videos. Narration is interesting, fun, and informative. The bugs look intense, but that is the north.
Loved it! Can't wait for the next episode. Support these guys with buying some merchandise! My son is jealous of the hat I just received.😊
Not sure why your subscriber count is not higher then this. Love the floatplane entry! love the content! keep it coming guys. (my opinion only) add more fishing to your trips and i believe you will access a larger range of viewers. cheers guys.
That corn bread looks great! Nice work Matt.
WOW at the drone footage of the canoe going through the woods. Very nice.
OH you got to be kidding me. That has to be awesome seeing your buds come flying in half way thru a grand canoe trip.
"Dont tempt me" he says. 😂 Loving the series.
That was awesome guys!!! Loved the ending - can't wait for next week!
Matt is such a great Scavenger addition to the team )))
We think so too 😀
Eh there’s Alex and Elk! Great epi guys, stoked for the rest !
Fantastic surprise at the end! Can’t wait for the next episode!
Great video and quite the accomplishment...looking forward to the next video..stay safe guys.
Holy Smokers! What a fantastic adventure!
Jane and are definitely going to enjoy a Whiskey Brule this afternoon! Can't wait for Wednesday's release.
Love the beach criteria list development and everything else!
Love the drone shot of the canoe portage
NORTHERN SCAVEVENGERRRRRRR, ASSEMBLEEEEEE
Excellent show. Thank you. The dragon fly at the very end freaked me out until I slowed and zoomed. Lol. Eagerly awaiting the next one to find out who steps off the plane. Blessings.
Love your videos! The scenery, the trials and tribulations, the comradery, all the hard work make your channel one of the best out there in utube land!
Beautiful trip. By buddies and I did many 5 days on a river. Pretty easy no portages. I’m to old and fat for 30 days anymore. Love your channel. Take care.
Geologist here!! Loved the little bit on geology, great job on your terms! For future reference, fluvial deposition is reserved for rivers as lacustrine deposition is for lakes. Cant wait for the next one, I watch these while working and it makes me feel like I'm adventuring instead.
Killer drone footage and editing. Love seeing the canoe walk through the forest from above. Cool!!
What an ending! Did not see that coming!
So far you guys have had serious joss with the weather gods. Hope it continued.
So pumped about the ending! Great series boys
For sure that first section of up river travel could mostly be done with a pole. I feel the Glaciofluvial sediment, hard not to love a good eskar. Amazing the amount of water pressure under 1 or 2 miles of ice! Ill be over to check out Matt's first aid stuff.
Great ending :-)
Nice to see you guys getting sponsorship for these expeditions.
great video coverage. I'm watching Jim and Ted make somewhat the same trip, the scenery is much different than their trip, super high water fast currents for them, limited campgrounds, eskers were the best.
26:33 if you ate that many special gummies you could teleport through the portages. 😂
The way I understand it is fluvial - sediment deposited by a river/flowing water, lacustrine - deposited by a lake/still water. Great videos, guys!
I loved the surprise arrival of your friends at the end. Am excited about the next episode!
What an episode. Well deserved couple of down days. It was a super hard push to get that down time. Good thing that battery pack is good with Alex showing up. I may have known he was coming in, I was talking to Andrew A the day he left. Keep the wonderful videos coming.
Awesome episode, love the honesty, the reality of backcountry bushwhacking. I look forward to the day I muster up the courage to take on such an awesome/crazy route!
Thank you as always for sharing with us!
The reward of a lovely beach and camping spot after a day like that makes it all worthwhile.
Just awesome, guys! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲🥇🥇🛶🔥
Years ago I bought a big 'ol used external frame pack. It's a bit bulky, but it fits in the canoe and is comfortable as anything, super durable, and great pack straps. Then just strap drybags or whatever else to the thing. It's turning into my favourite canoe pack. Cheers boys, loving the series, and you picked the perfect time of year to post it.
that coffee looks so good and the flip...9.5 love this trip
Oh snap! Big ending. Can’t wait till next week
The idea of cornbread, peanut butter and jam, sounds amazing! You earned that bonus coffee too! Love this series!
What a ending. Cant wait for next week.
Awesome ending boys. Great to see the crew back together, wasn't expecting that! Can't wait for the next episode.
Also I deeply sympathize with your sandy food problem. Last year on a camping trip I believe I ate at least a tablespoon of sand with my meals all together 😅
Awesome video! Really pulls back the curtain on the day to day lifestyle out there!
Whaaaaaaat? Oh, this is so good! What an adventure and what an ending to the episode. Thanks for taking us along.
I only wonder why you packed so much food for the first two weeks, when you could have had a resupply with Alex and Eric coming in. When y'all demonstrated all the food you had left, all I could think about was all that extra weight on each portage, and if those supplies could have been on the mid-trip float plane drop. Great show too, can't wait for each episode.
Wow another amazing trek with a well liked geology lesson and the Aguanish!
Those bugs🙀
Another brilliant episode with a surprise fun ending, thank you guys 👍😊
The ending was absolutely epic!! I can't imagine how incredible it must have felt to see that plane fly in and pull up to your site after being out there just the two of you for 18 days. Great editing too!
Another awesome video, and a well deserved rest at the height of land. That ending was great haha
Hard core boys! You sure picked the right day for a break. Love the drone footage. I didn't know Matt had his own channel . I'm heading there after this video!
I always get a hint of artificial blueberry from Lab tea. Also, how awesome Alex made it out to you guys!!
That drone shot portaging the canoe through the trees....tree tops swaying in the wind the view of the lake to come, the music building up the shot...Epic shot guys. Loved that!
Man o man that is some tough slugging…kudos to you both! Awesome adventure! Cheers MikeR.
Another beauty episode! Sounds like AT and ET coming in hot!
Outstanding adventure and video series!! Thank you!!
Good video as usual. I particularly like the way you explain the techniques and strategies used for your adventure.
Best channel on RUclips
At 23:07, all I can say is that you guys are way tougher than I am. No way I could handle all those flying demons. The portaging, paddling, and roping, OK. Swarms of biting thingies? Nope.
This is a great video. I will have to go watch the first four episodes.
Rock on!
Great video, great ending, can't wait til next week!
You guys are funny clean with joking around. Thank you.
Sealline Pro Dry Pack 70L and 120L. By far the best portage packs I have used. I loaned out my Kuiu Pack to a friend this summer for backpacking. I used my Sealline Pro Dry Pack for backpacking over 100 miles total. Never had any issues.
Way to leave us on a cliffhanger! Put the next episode out a little early, will ya? Very much enjoyed this episode. Thank you for the info about the first aid kit and food prep!
anyone else love the Crocs game by the boys? I get so happy when they build camp and do it with Crocs on!!
Dudes…that. Was. Awesome. Northern Scavengers ASSEMBLE!!! Made me smile.
What a surprise at the end. What an adventure! Thanks for making me feel like I was out there. The footage is unreal.
For your Dry-pack discussion in this vid, my vote goes to the Eureka Stormshield bags. Durable, really strong straps, well padded waist belts, handles where you need them etc.
Watched the previous episode lastnight and got a bit bummed when it ended. Then this pops up today, just finished it, and what an awesome ending! Haha great stuff as usual boys. Looking forward to seeing the second half of the trip with the squad. LETS GO!!
Love the series. Great surprise at the end.
Amazing content guys. That ending though. Great job.
The "Northern Scavenger" assemble bit was pretty clever!
Cliffhanger on a Northern Scavengers episode? More please!
Guys....A surprise from the sky! How COOL is that??? Left us hanging again! Looking forward to next week's adventure! Cheers!
You should promote this trip and make it like 2 man race and navigation it could be a super adventure race 🏁
This was such a fun ride all the way to the end!!
Love the ending.
Talk about a completely unexpected and deadly surprise. This series has already been awesome, I can only imagine it gets even better from here.
