Прекрасный фильм ! Великолепные места , первозданная Природа ! Вы - смелые сильные ребята ! И , что очень важно - ваши головы остались с вами ... 😊 (RU) .
@@sergeiburlakov197 thank you so much for the kind sentiments! Best wishes from Canada! 🍻
I want to explore this place so bad.
There's mountain giants in those caves. That's why they're off limits.
I knew it!!!
Troglodytes
Thank you for your brilliant documentation ! No one has done it better !
Thanks for this compliment Denis!! Have a terrific day.
Their is something primeval. Much. Like before. Humans walked the earth. In these wild places. And it brings. Thoughts rushing back !!
Agree fully Maurice!!
Let's hope the search for. Treasure doesn't. Spoil it!!!
A testament to the Glory of Creation
Well said!
A profoundly beautiful and lyrical presentation. Thank you.
@@waterst9 thanks for the kind words!
Some of those rivers look so dang deep.
I came across this video after researching the Nahanni Valley based on a Mr. Ballen story about the Mcloud brothers in 1904. This is beautiful yet slightly uneasy feeling, given how untouched and wild everything is
Ho wow ! certainly the best video about the Nahanni I have seen so far. I will paddle the Nahanni last 2 weeks of August 2023. Thanks for sharing this very good quality video.
Thanks for the lovely compliment! Wishing you safe passage and great memories on this mighty river!
I hope u made it back alive
u back yet?
Enjoyed your video, your party must of had a great time.
Thanks for the kind words! We did indeed!
Wow!! What a great trip! And you returned alive! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
What an awesome trip I would li e to do that trip how exciting I would have to have someone with experience in a canoe with them rapids
Wonderful experience, great job. Thanks from Angelo Italy
Omg my dream place to visit
Great video! I just missed you there by a couple days. My group started at Rabbitkettle lake on Aug. 13th and paddled down to Nahanni Butte by Aug. 24th. We really lucked out with the weather, it was incredible.
You brought me right back there with this video, so I thank you for that.
Thanks for the kind message Pat and great to hear you got to paddle it as well! We had nothing but sun except for one evening - couldn’t have really asked for better weather. Happy trails!
I did the same a few years before. Wonderful experience
Breathtakingly beautiful, but not a place I’d go unarmed, if you know what I’m saying.
Stunning
Wow. I'm speechless. The gorgeous, inspiring images are duly matched by the vivid, expertly crafted narration. Really captured the feeling of being there in person. Definitely one of the finest documentaries I've seen on RUclips.
Thanks for these incredibly kind words @DrRestezi - I wish I had more time to dedicate to these videos. I will be releasing another one on the Bloodvein shortly. Best wishes and happy trails to you!
@@The.Terra.Incognita I see that you have more videos on your channel--looking forward to watching some of those as well. Keep up the fine work!
Love it
Thanks Basel!
Amazing trip !
Thanks so much!
The headless valkey
I stayed in a cabin there when I was 12
@@markcummings1675😳😳 was it scary? How long were you there?
absolutely gorgeous video brother, gonna be binging your videos, never stop!
Thanks so much for the kind words man!!
Great thing!
Good Job ERIK!
Thx CORPORAL!!
I grew up in Tungsten, the headwater of the Flat River
Personaly i think all these. Wild remote places. Does. Something to. Peoples. Psyche. Coming from. Populated. Towns cities. Which is a far cry from. This wilderness. They cant grasp. It. !!
you might enjoy the music video of my 2023 Nahanni trip: ruclips.net/video/EL2_2JmaxVg/видео.html
@@steveschijns3204 great stuff! Terrific work on the song and video!
Well done, enjoyed every frame of the video. Inspiring!
Awesome adventure down the Nahanni, I think I'd want to bring a rifle though, just in case.
Thanks for the kind words!
I feel dumb for saying this, but it almost looks like you're paddling up-river cuz of the waves.
Headless valley..
I don’t see any bugs.
Nice! On many people's bucket list including mine. Any thoughts on how much you can save by not going with a guided tour? Thanks
Thanks Richard! Guided trip will generally run you $8-9K per person, I believe (not including transportation costs to Simpson, which can add another couple thousand depending on where you’re coming from). Our self-guided trip was about $3K-$4k per person all-in from Toronto. In putting together my trip estimates I found it more cost effective to fly to Yellowknife and then drive a rental car to Simpson (flight from YK to Simpson is very expensive). There are pros to going with guided trips of course (guides know all the best camping spots/hikes, take care of all the cooking etc), but taking on the river ourselves was also a big part of the allure!
@@The.Terra.Incognita Thanks! This info is literally worth gold! My wife and I will have to do this outside of a group tour since we've been tripping for decades. Just need to find other like minded couples when we are ready. Cheers!
@@richard_west if you haven’t done so already you may wish to consider joining the Wilderness Canoe Association - as a member you can post your trip on their website and seek others who may wish to join! Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions about the route! :)
@@The.Terra.Incognita I second this advice on the car rental. My group also opted to save a bunch of money, rented a car in Yellowknife and spread the drive to Fort Simpson over 2 days staying in Sambaa deh on our way.
Car rental cost us approx $2000 split between 4 people, whereas the flight from Yellowknife to Fort Simpson was approx $1000 per person per way.
We rented the car from Gastown in yellowknife, that place alone was quite the experience. Try the poutine!
Most. Acessable. Places. Are. Well populated. On earth. Then. You see the. NWT. And. Then you. See the opposite. Phew! If you got lost out their. It. Would. Be curtains. It would put all survival. Skills to get out. In one piece. If possible !
Not entirely. Follow water back to the river. Follow the river to civilization.
Did ya hear any wood knocks ?
Well, they returned alive so . . .
Hello! Is there any other way to take a look around the nahanni park? kayaking and backpacking look so hard and dangerous to me...
@@junseoksong6863 Hi! Typical access is via plane, which can do air tours or set you down if you’re interested in camping. The campsites at Virginia falls are well established and include some limited facilities.
Thank you for your fast answer! That sounds quite expensive. I may need to save more money to go 😂 I want to visit in a few years
Ive read. About. Albert Feily. Gold. Prospecter. And. His. Quests to find. M issing. Goldmine which he never found. He. Always travelled alone. Did all is. Portages alone. On river. He said the river kept. Changing. Difficult to navigate. But. No mention. Of strange creatures. Or any such meetings. !!!!
He certainly lived a remarkable life!
I would like to have met him. !!
Not sure if yall superstitious.. but did yall get any wierd vibes when camping in nahanii. Hearing stories of early indigenous, and settlers saying theres an eerie feeling to nahanii. Wondering if yall got any of that while on your trip?
Being in a canoe with some one yelling instructions would piss me off a bit
Thanks for your comment. Constant, succinct and direct communication with your paddling partner is a basic and necessary element of tandem whitewater canoeing, especially in the types of scenarios depicted in this video.
Doesn't look as dangerous as what I read about this place. No waheela, no evil spirits and no whatever it was that left those prospectors headless.
Unfortunately the footage I got of those things didn’t turn out very well!
@@The.Terra.Incognita Uh what? You saying you encountered those creatures?
@@The.Terra.Incognita😂 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Headless bodies... answer..wild animals bears wolves and cougars.. there is no myth or anything haunted..
One or two of the bodies had their rifle barrels bent in half next to them imagine a beast it would take to do that.i know they're wild stories. But it would take an insanely strong person to do that.a regular person would need a solid vice and a sledge hammer.. Im just saying it makes you wonder?
@@DouglasNemsky a grizzly bear can bend steel and bend and fold a human spine no problem..and there are no ghosts...lol
people don't go here its cursed
I did this trip when I was 12 as far as I know youngest white man to do it at that age .and there is was by David koester was a book my father wrote on Amazon .in the 70 s
Great video a lot of effort was made
Thanks for the kind words!
