Your brevity and meaningfulness is much appreciated. One becomes more human on such an adventure. Thanks to both of you and your supporters for sharing. Many memmories recharged in this old brain.
Hi, this is Jennifer author of this video. Thank you for all your comments! Rewatching after some years, just wanted to say that I would re-do the section in the video about being in Norway House and saying the First Nations ceded their land there; Treaties were much more complex that and the video makes it sound overly simplistic. I also reconsider the statement 'globalized developing nations'; this is not super appropriate, and could certainly have been stated better. Live and learn.. Migwetch.
Guys I don’t know how long ago you “up loaded” this? But please don’t leave it so long again. More of these trips please? An as a older man myself, if my daughter was doin a trip like this, I’d be there every paddle stroke all the way, lookin out for ya. I think you made your Dad a very appy an proud man in the spirit world. Awesome vid guys Thanks for takin us for a paddle Be safe be lucky be well always Paul 00.37 gmt Uk cheers
Great little film about an area near and dear to my heart - Northern Manitoba. I'm glad your trip went well and an happy I was a small part of your kickstarter program. Paddle on!
A great trip, very nice. I wonder though, when littering is mentioned, why anyone would take the little plastic food bags on a canoe trip, when hardbody containers are much more convenient from every viewpoint except garbage .. a canoe trip could generate no inorganic garbage, although I use small tomato paste cans, but keep washed empties aboard for proper disposal.
Beautiful video but that “detestation” is after a Forrest fire lol see the underbrush has come up already. I live up here see it all the time. Just a fire that spread so quickly it didn’t burn the trees down just all the needles, and sometimes all the limbs.
The "Destruction" you see at 11:03 is the result of a forest fire, a very common occurrence in the North! The cliffs and its erosions are also natural, as the banks wear over time. The river and weather all eat away at it slowly, causing it too erode and slide. Sometimes you will see large chunks of land slide down into the river, creating little floating islands, which sometimes still have trees on it. Nice video, looks like you guys had a great trip!
hi! we paddled together on course with Gerry on the whitemouth river. It was very cool to come across this video. Well done on the filming and editing, and awesome that you did such a cool trip!
Ah, you guys did this just after us. We started in Minnesota but ended on the Albany and paddled it down to James Bay. We were a crew of 4 hauling some larger canoes (18 ft). We didn't leave any litter behind, but sure saw plenty on some of the frequently used portages and moose camps. I recognized a lot of the places you chose to camp at. We pulled out at Ft. Albany.
Did you leave your cars at Norway house and how did you get back to it from york factory? I saw you took a float plane back? I'm planning a trip like this this summer and trying to work out the logistics! Love your video! Sad about the garbage scene 😥
Some awesome friends drove us all the way to Norway House. The plan was to get a float plane from York Factory to Gillam and then take a train with our canoe to Winnipeg.
Great film! Did it take you 20 days or 15 days plus the five at York Factory? I'm doing the same trip this summer and wondering if we can do it comfortably in 15 days. Thanks!
@@rhythmofthehayes3268 It all depends on the winds and the weather. We (two couples) did it in 20 days 20 years ago but winds shut us down for sevral days.

Enjoyed that.. a well filmed & edited short film. Greetings from England.
Thanks very much for sharing your grand adventure with us.

Thanks for sharing, and congratulations! We hope that this was the first of many adventures.

TELL me this is Juan Pablo Quiñonez Alone Season 9 winner and "his Jennifer"?!
Inspiring
Hi! I was wondering if you guys kept a route log or anything from your trip? I would love to take a look at it if you did.
Did you leave your cars at Norway house and how did you get back to it from york factory? I saw you took a float plane back? I'm planning a trip like this this summer and trying to work out the logistics! Love your video! Sad about the garbage scene 😥

Rhythm of the Hayes thanks so much for the reply! Those are some really nice friends! What portion of the trip in involved the plane?
@@briantheprion We left our car at Norway House and made our way back by float plane and train.
Great film! Did it take you 20 days or 15 days plus the five at York Factory? I'm doing the same trip this summer and wondering if we can do it comfortably in 15 days. Thanks!
Took us 20 days with good winds and weather

How did you prepare for bears, wolves, etc? Firearms too ?
Lol there was no infestation. It was a forest fire.
When did you make the trip to Hudson Bay?
We did it on August, 2014
