    Great kayak trip ! Cool video, you are, as always, very patient to videotape your aventure... Bravo and thank you for sharing !
    Just small tip to land safely on shore when the big waves want to push you into surf towards the beach : turn your kayak around, paddle forward in the waves to stabelize the kayak and avoid the surf, then quickly paddle backward in between waves toward the shore at you own speed, always in control, an eye on the next waves.😊

    Wow!!! Watching this makes me so nostalgic of my time in Nova Scotia.
    We lived in Porters Lake for 13 years. I fell in love with the Eastern Shore and the 100 wild islands right away. I camped and paddled in some spots you showed in the video. It's too bad there's so much nice spots to show in one video. I figured you'd camp at Dewolfe island near Norse Cove campground and Murphy's but there is so much to choose from. We used to own land right at the mouth of Moser river.
    Did you get a chance to see the Fury shipwreck near Sonora?
    If you ever camp out that way, check out Fancy beach in Marie Joseph, it's a sweet spot too.
    Keep on making those great videos :)

    • @NorthernScavenger
      @NorthernScavenger  Год назад +3

    Wow Noah, thank you so much for making this film I don't know where to start. That plug for the Nature Trust just warmed my heart. I know what I'm doing next summer. Skipping surfers alley and starting at the 100 Wild Islands, going up to Gabarus and Bras D'or! It's not the swim that scares me, it's the 2 km off shore! I'm taking the dogs and the solo prospector and staying close to shore, portaging as needed, and using the lakes along the coast to shelter from the wind when I can. And focusing heavily on fishing. This is slowly turning from a dream into a plan!

    What an awesome trip!!! Thanks for sharing this with us. You two make a great team as evidenced by your good matureness throughout the trip. I was super impressed with the fact that you had such little kayak experience to take on this challenge but you did it--wow! You should get your partner a second paddle for open ocean paddling as storms can separate you pretty quickly and each paddler should be individually equipped when possible. At a minimum, the weaker paddler should carry the spare as the weaker paddler is more likely to loose a paddle in heavy weather. Thanks sooooo much for sharing your trip as this was the nicest trip I've seen in several years and I try to watch all Canadian paddle trips, so well done and I'll be looking for your next trip--oh, by the way, thanks for the geology lessons--that was a nice addition!

    Boat leashes have saved my life several times. I have a military veteran friend , big tough guide, who used to guide in my area, but he didn’t have one and has gone home. Hypothermia is fast and even in summer. It’s harder to get back in the boat the colder you get. Most people burn out after three attempts. I recommend making a stirrup out of webbing and hose, binder it to your paddle float and even injured you can get in. Solo kayaking is always a solo sport, no matter how many people you’re paddling with.

    What an amazing journey guys! Really enjoyed the video! Those rocky coastlines are so beautiful. I love rocks and I always enjoy Noah's little rock talks lol! It's really interesting what happens when you find yourself in a small community for a day or two, especially if you are travelling by a non motorized way, such as paddling, biking, or walking/hiking. We had that happen during a five day bike trip last summer along the Ottawa Vallery Recreational Trail. Every little community we went into, the people were so friendly, and wanted to help you, event if you didn't need help lol! We had so many people want to tell us stories and history about their communities, offer us water and assistance, and when they found out what we were doing, where we were travelling to by bike, they are all just so excited for us. Watching your video really reminded me of our little bike trip, and how we were surprised in the end how much of our trip ended up involving people and community.

    Hey Noah ! Wow thanks so much for an incredible video ! cinnamontography, narration, music, editing was all amazing. This may be your best video yet, although I'm a bit bias being from Surfers ally (Lawrencetown/Porters Lake) Really cool to see your wife come with you on this trip, she was a trooper, that is no easy paddle. I'm still working on getting mine to come with me on trips, baby steps lol Anyway thanks again ! Cheers.

      Much appreciated. I spend a lot of time surfing in your area. I don't think we'll kayak it again 😅
