Thank you for supporting the people of northern Canada - they’ve been hit the hardest with all the travel bans - your videos will inspire others (& me) to visit once it’s safe to do so. Churchill is definitely on the bucket list!
@MLWATKK Thank You so much. You are very kind. I had never heard of Tadoussac but it's now on my Bucket List! It looks very pretty - nice and small! Luv the Beluga beach sculptures. I believe that U can also canoe with Beluga (Jun - Sep) in the Churchill River, Hudson Bay. It must be the most amazing experience. It would be like heaven on earth to me! They are such sweet animals. All marine life is very precious. 🐬🐳🐋 Thank You for sharing! 💕
Sitting here at the start of our Australian summer, its 6.30am and already 22 deg C.......and I have tears pouring down my face at the beauty of those amazing bears and that gorgeous scenery. Thank you again Mike for taking me places I will never go to see sights I would never otherwise see.
You have my utmost sympathy Heather, half 6 in the morning and its freakin scorchio time already. I'm in soggy blighty, land of the poms, its 6am and minus 4 at the moment, and I'm loving it, cant stand hot weather I like what the summer brings except the bloody heat but you can't have it both ways can ya. For all I've said I would love to visit your country one day.
Sitting here in Central Western Europe, minus 8 celcius 2 days ago, snow covering everything, having to take vitamin D supplements to avoid health problems due to lack of sunshine , and sunsets that begin at 4:15 pm, envious, of your Southern hemisphere weather
I genuinely think this may be your best video I’ve seen! It’s so awesome to get the feeling of adventure while locked down in California. :) Thanks for adventuring for us and how fun for this couple that they have a video of the proposal!
Wow, thank you! I really felt like the day couldn't get any better, and then it would, every time! It was amazing! I'm so glad it came through in the video as well. Thanks so much Alyssa. Have a great weekend.
My parents went to Churchill before Alzheimer’s took hold of my father. He talked a ton about that trip. Maybe one day I’ll make the trek. Great video.
Wildlife safari, Canadian style. One of your best videos. Also, amazing how huge the Canadian provinces are. Two days by train or a five hour flight from Winnipeg to Churchill.
Yes.they could’ve been sipping on a cup of hot chocolate from a Tim Horton in the middle of the arctic, with a side of toffee. That would be the most Canadian.
This has to be one of my favorite videos! Yeah they do look so cute and cuddly.....Lol. Getting engaged in front of a sleeping polar bear has to be something they will never ever forget! How lucky you were to see so many!
@@MrSab177 it took alot of research to find rivers and creeks that were deep enough to get there with portages short enough to carry everything. The day he turned 50 he bicycled from Wisconsin to Seattle WASHINGTON. He's kind of crazy
Lake Winnipeg drains north to Churchill. An old voyager route from Grand Portage, just in US from Canada on Lake Superior goes to Winnipeg, joining that anywhere, especially Lake of the Woods would get you to Lake Winnipeg. www.northernontario.travel/paddling/mapping-the-canadian-canoe-trail-from-lake-superior-to-manitoba Hmm, that is not the voyager route through Lake of the Woods, it goes north in Quetico. There is a nother more southern route.
Very cool. I knew a guy who tried to go from Winnipeg to Churchill by himself in a canoe. Luckily he got severe food poisoning when he was only a week out and relatively close to civilization. It's the funniest story when he tells it. There was a Manitoba 'reality show' or I guess a better word is 'reenactment' of the old fur trading route to Hudson's Bay called Quest for the Bay that your brother would find interesting if you can find the entire series. Here's a trailer... ruclips.net/video/eL-kXk2cS0w/видео.html
I did almost the same trip 11 years ago. The middle of October is the best time to go to see polar bears in their native habitat, right before the bay freezes over and the bears leave. Churchill is a great northern community but it is remote. They have been through a lot, first damaged railroad tracks that took forever to repair, I believe the sea port closed (?), and now covid. The train is much cheaper than flying into Churchill and it also helps local people travel between communities, there are no roads. Anyone that is looking for adventure up north should visit . Great video!
It’s important to define a territory of where the bears are not welcome - and to make sure they remain wild & fearful of people. Otherwise if they started to feel comfortable with hanging out in town there’d be problems.
There are problems because of this exact behaviour in this video. . The bear was scared off by a shot by the unseen group of people, and the second group proceeded to follow and try to find her again. The most dangerous animals here are the humans.
@ScienceVideosFan nothing wrong with sharing a habitat. You have to remember that even in cities they are encroaching on wildlife and so are wildlife into human territory and there are limits. The presence of bears means the ice has melted and it pushed them back to the land it does not mean the presence of bears shows humans are encroaching, however. it's showing coexistence because the natives have lived there for many many years and have coexisted.
Never a disappointment watching this channel. Michael has a great sense of creating interesting content from any subject. Makes you feel like you are right there experiencing these adventures. Always a fun time. Add Polar Bears to the yup, done that checklist for 2020 in addition to driving trams, operating cranes, trains, wrangling cranberry bogs, Indie 007 short vid(s),.. I've had many years owning and ultimately selling a successful video and post-production studio in addition to a mid-town Manhattan audio recording studio for films. Mike makes me wish I was still doing that line of work. So far above RUclips standards in production, writing, location, interest. Anyone that doesn't realize how much time and effort filming these videos takes in traveling, planning, shooting, expense, and editing doesn't appreciate the hours and hours and hours to get 10 minutes of enjoyable content without over-production. There is talent in each step. Michael has been blessed with talent in each and I am always impressed with his high production quality. I consider him an Indie shorts filmmaker, not a You Tuber content provider. I cannot wait to see what happens when real endorsement money and production teams can back your talents, Mike. Until then, I am enjoying vicariously watching through your lens. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. The DVM in my handle is for "Digital Video Magic" Studios (Think post-production like I.L.M.)
I live in Churchill and have seen COUNTLESS documentaries and Vlogs about it. I must say this 3 part series is one of the best and most entertaining I have seen so far! Very well done!
Honestly, the first thing I do when I get enough money is to take that train from Winnipeg to Churchill and vlog this trip like you did. Very impressive, mate!
Seeing polar bears and cubs up close and a marriage proposal? I needed this after a rough couple of days. Thank you so much for the video and keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for sharing this. As a South African, I'm very used to safari experiences....but yours is now WAAAAAY up on my bucket list to visit! As a Canadian, I just can't wait to connect with my late Dad's family there, and learn some more about this wonderful country. Thank you for doing what you do!!!
Kudos to you Mike, you got some great shots, a proposal that a couple won't ever forget & a epic journey with your dad...all on film...I love this channel, it just keeps getting better & better !!!
Awesome 👍 I thoroughly enjoyed this, wow, polar bears in the wild. Living in California this was almost like watching a winter ❄️ wonderland! Continue the great work Mike!
From Patrick (4 years old): “when the polar bear jumped up right next to you, were you scared? It could have bitten your finger off! I love your videos. This is the end of this message, but like you always say: I don’t know where I’m going next, but I know I want to watch your videos!”
Oh my god, that was fantastic footage....proposal, bears & cubs, the tundra....wild, I luv it!! thank you so much for taking us along, you are my tour guide for places I will never go to! Awesome!!
@@DownieLive Soon you should make an educational children's book of all your adventures with photos, so the future generation will be encouraged to travel and see sites without being afraid.
The amount of times I finish a downie video and then look up flight or train ticket price is insane. I assume you get some of your revenue from the places you sponsor, cause you do a great job of selling me on their services/locations!
I found your channel yesterday - first video was your amazing VIA Rail trip to Prince Rupert. Absolutely loving every video. Thanks so much for bringing beautiful Canada to your southern neighbors (and of course from across the world)!
Wow, I can’t imagine what an adrenaline rush that must have been being up close and personal to these magnificent animals. Thanks for bringing us along Michael!!!
Mike, This was fantastic. These bears are majestic and so interesting to see wandering with their cubs. I love it when they get up on their hind legs. It reminds me of the summer I worked in Yellowstone. We would go to the garbage dump to see Grizzlies. They would also rear up and show how big they were. Loved the proposal. You are making such wonderful memories . Thanks for taking us along.
This was incredible Mike! Wow...Seeing the mama bears and their cubs was so cool. I can only imagine all the feels of actually being there with them in person. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Geez there's so much in this life that I'll never get to experience for myself. This world is freakin great, but you need about 10 lifetimes to see most of it.
Really like your videos and the narration. Love the fact that you also take your father, mother or sister on your trips. Makes the trips so much more memorable. Looking forward to visiting Churchill as and when some normalcy returns.
Thanks for sharing, that is amazing pictures , have been to several towns in Canada, but but unfortunately only the touristy once like Vancouver, Whistler and Banff. Would love to see more of this beautiful country. One day I will, it's on my bucket list!
I used to live in Churchill, I grew up there and I find it so funny watching these videos because they’re shocked that there is a polar bear warning sign😂😂 but it was so normal when you’re living there
@@DownieLive ….no, he's right - I just discovered you several days ago … enjoyed it all - from returning to places we've both seen, to discovering new experiences you've provided. Congrat's , Mike - you are the essence of good RUclips.... Grin, and bear the accolades.
Will be waiting! Mike have you heard the saying “Brown hit the ground, Black fight back and White good night” ! Never tested this! Let me know how it works please! 😃🤣👍
Great video! I have heard of bear twins but never triplets. They definitely are big and their feet are huge too. Amazing trip, thanks for allowing me to tag along!

Incredible video! Thank you for sharing. I took the train to Churchill last September. One of the best trips I ever went on. I was lucky enough to see polar bears and beluga whales. And the vastness and beauty of Hudson Bay. I was in awe. Looking forward to your next video.
Wow what a amazing experience! I'm not an outdoor adventurer--I found your channel because of the train videos, but you have shared so much of the outdoors, I have been converted (as long as I can stay in a cabin or hotel-no tents). Thanks for sharing these wonderful journeys!
Greetings Mike! Wow!!! That was absolutely fantastic and really entertaining. I actually thought I was watching a wildlife adventure on public television, followed by a reality show with the marriage proposal. Great job sir, and many thanks!
July and August are great as well because you can do beluga whale watching. The whales will come right up to your boat or kayak and you can touch them! The river is PACKED with baby whales and their mothers. Even in summer there are random polar bears in and around town, but Oct/Nov is best for bears.
Thank you for sharing the journey. It must have been an exhilirating experience being so up-close. I'm looking forward to the next video about life in a northern town. Looks like I couldn't resist The Dream Academy reference.

“Once it’s safe to do so” it IS safe to do so. Don’t let the continuous lockdown rhetoric win.
The polar bear is like, "Oh brother, not _another_ proposal, yawn."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Incredible video! Thank you for sharing. I took the train to Churchill last September. One of the best trips I ever went on. I was lucky enough to see polar bears and beluga whales. And the vastness and beauty of Hudson Bay. I was in awe. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you very much!
If someone invites me to go somewhere epic like this I would definitely say yes I am so done with staying home .
Wow what a amazing experience! I'm not an outdoor adventurer--I found your channel because of the train videos, but you have shared so much of the outdoors, I have been converted (as long as I can stay in a cabin or hotel-no tents). Thanks for sharing these wonderful journeys!
Awesome, thank you!
Greetings Mike! Wow!!! That was absolutely fantastic and really entertaining. I actually thought I was watching a wildlife adventure on public television, followed by a reality show with the marriage proposal. Great job sir, and many thanks!
Hahaha. It was a very unique experience, for sure!
Thanks as always!
What a beautiful moment that couple will never forget.
Apparently, the best time to go to Churchill is Oct & Nov...I guess I'll have to wait till next year :(
July and August are great as well because you can do beluga whale watching. The whales will come right up to your boat or kayak and you can touch them! The river is PACKED with baby whales and their mothers. Even in summer there are random polar bears in and around town, but Oct/Nov is best for bears.
Thank you for sharing the journey. It must have been an exhilirating experience being so up-close. I'm looking forward to the next video about life in a northern town. Looks like I couldn't resist The Dream Academy reference.
Dude tonnes of love from India.......
Thank you so much man, very rare video. Worth watching. Kudos from India!
