      I just watched the 6+ hour Labrador/Quebec piece...the first time I have seen this channel...now this one. Both are a fair amount more extreme than even ardent venturers are capable of...very entertaining but not doable for most. There is a reason "Lost Lakes" has a significantly larger following. Both are excellent in what they offer.

    I was out grinding through the Tobeatic while this was published this week. I went from Sporting Lake stream, down through Buckshot Lake, up to Cofan cabin, then down the Shelburne to Irving Lake. We portaged over to the Roseway watershed and took out at McGill Lake access point. What a trip. We noticed your comments in the Cofan log book from your fall trip there. That first leg of our trip before Cofan was BRUTAL - great paddling scenery but the portages were so challenging.

    love this. thank you. x the names are so evocative 'upset falls' every name has a story still. I love that that cabin was in such great condition - and so nicely built - the kitchen, and a bedroom. it is so fantastic that they're anarchic - as in social anarchy - people just. being good. I will never get to do this, for all sorts of reasons, so just having this is amazing. I do have birds I love in my garden tho - but in London, UK, so seeing a chickadee is sooo fantastic - they're insanely CUTE!!! just awwwwwww

    Great to see that country is still pristine. 40 years ago I was lucky enough to paddle and camp along all 5 of the rivers that originate in this watershed. Back in those days there were very few marked portages, so it was lots of bushwacking like you had to do.

  • @Cranehouse1
    @Cranehouse1 9 месяцев назад +2

    Hey Noah. Just some advice on the figure of eight knot you are using to tie off the canoe. You need to ensure you leave a much longer tail end, if you get any slippage the knot will come undone. Climbers always use a stopper knot snugged down to the figure of eight to ensure this cannot happen. You don’t want to risk loosing the boat. Great trip by the way. Very jealous.

  • @CanadianSledDog
    @CanadianSledDog 9 месяцев назад +2

    The best thing about the figure 8 knot is that it's less likely to create a failure point in your rope compared to any other knot. All knots create weak points but figure 8s do so less than any other. It's also amazing how they don't usually get stuck under extreme forces. I took a page from this and applied it to my surgeon's knot, instead of two single overhand knots I use two double overhand knots (two loops per knot), and it's so much easier to untie! I think it's stronger too.

  • @TomKirkman1
    @TomKirkman1 9 месяцев назад +2

    A bowline is intended to be easy to "break" by flipping the back of the knot. But it is also prone to coming undone if you do not maintain constant pressure on it.
