How GLORIOUS, AND BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED. Having Ashley read was a stroke of utter brilliance. There is no other youtube canoeing adventure that tops that, just Splendid. Thank you. I am so glad to see Ashley we couldnt know if shed lost desire to go with you, we always think the worst......what a joy to see all 4 of you. I wrote this poem year's ago. Alone by the River, Gazing high to the peaks, The fresh mountain wind in my hair, My soul is restored, my spirit renewed, For its God that I feel when I'm there.

Wow. Just wow. I don't leave comments. Ever. This is a masterpiece that pulled me in instantly and kept me enthralled for the duration. I'm 40 and just getting into canoeing thanks in part to videos like this. This is now definitely on my bucket list.

Your videos are getting better and better. So beautifully put together, the landscape, music, Ashley's reading. An amazing work of art. And for me today: your video is the perfect ending to a perfect day in nature. Thank you 🥰

With all the madness in the world what a way to spend the evening in front of the fireplace and a big screen tv. Another epic Canoe the North video. They just keep getting better and better. THX CHEERS!!!

Based on the filming and editing, id say you deserve a 0 behind that 26. Hello, KZfaq Algo, this channel needs more subscribers.

This video is so good, so breathtaking, so peacefull, so full of respect for Nature, so filled with love within the team of people and dogs, so beautifully highlighted by the poems, so perfectly produced & edited. This video can be considered as a monunent to the Yukon area. It left me speachless for more than an hour. Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Very well done !!!!! Best wishes from the Netherlands, Marco Batenburg.

Your trip epics always rekindle that fire in me for my own next adventure, and increasingly, for something much bigger than I've done before. My wife enjoyed this one with me too, staying in for the whole thing even though she said she had work to do & could only watch the first few minutes with me - ha! Like a certain brand of chips, once you start you can't stop!!

@ 29:50 a serious talk. " You know how to treat a girl" . . . . " Awe, you know it Baby " What an awesome couple, you both rock! Love the adventure 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed your video and wanted to thank you for sharing your adventures. The Yukon has always held a special place for me and my family. Never been there but my grandfather did and loved to share his adventures and love for the area.. My grandfather was born in Upstate NY in 1903. He enlisted in the Coast Guard in his late teens and after spending two years stationed on Lake Ontario transferred to Junea Alaska. He absolutely fell in love with the area and would venture up and down the coast with fellow Coasties when they had time off. He eventually spent time in the Whitehorse area and after leaving the CG found work as a teacher in that area. He would spend his time off in the summers exploring and living off the land paddling the Yukon and smaller tributaries for weeks at a time. He spent over 10 years in AK and the Yukon territory before moving back to NY to be with family. He married, raised a family, and later returned back to Juneau in the 60s on a tour. I was born in the 50s and loved to hear the stories he told of paddling, camping, hunting and fishing. Usually he shared these stories while we were hunting or fishing. On several occasions he mentioned that they would pan gold from the smaller tributaries and recieved 30 dollars Canadian per ounce. He passed away in 1997 and my Mom inherited his possessions. After his passing my Mom asked for help clearing his home out to get it ready to sell. It was quite a chore and took months. My mom had seen most of his picture albums over the years but I had never seen the Yukon pictures. We also discovered a diary that she had never seen that was from his years in that area. The kicker was the maps that showed where he started these summer adventures, campsites, portage trails and even locations where they panned gold. Months later my Mom discovered a leather pouch with gold dust and small nuggets when she was going through some boxes. There were other sentimental finds with the gold that must have been just as important to him. I suggested she sell the gold and take a trip up their with my Dad but it never materialized. Mom gave me the gold and most of the other finds from that area. I treasure them all.

This entire video was so incredibly well done! The intro with the music and wildlife scenes immediately had me drawn in...I knew then I was along for an incredible journey. Thanks so much Keenan and Ashley! I really loved Ashley's reading and narrating, together with a well edited master piece! Well done.

Bill Mason has a huge smile on his face watching you two … as soon as I began to watch your controlled descent with you back paddling and grabbing those eddies I was impressed and was waiting for you to announce that you were filming another one of the Mason films. Sooo well done and you made it look effortless. Thank you for reminding us how to run a river…

It's always a great day when it starts with a new video from you two! Your videos are getting more and more cinematographic and each is more enjoyable. Such a nice trip and such a nice video. Thank you!

Great teamwork as you travelled the Big Salmon. Beautiful scenery, loved your music choices and Ashley's reading was the perfect touch. Great editing created another awesome video, thank you🙂

More top shelf content from CanoeTheNorth. What a great couple.

This is such a beautiful wilderness, and the music is so peaceful. The two of you are so sweet together. Thanks for the great experience.

Just an awesome adventure. The video was well done. I really enjoyed this. So good to see you living your dreams.

Ashley"s sweet soothing voice reading was a great addition. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

I watch a lot of camping/fishing/canoeing content on KZfaq, and am so thrilled to have found yours. There are many great creators, but you are the finest filmmaker I've come across. Breathtaking photography! Keep up the amazing work!

Its hard to put into words how glorious your country is Wow! Thankyou for sharing it with us. Warm regards from Aus 💖

its like watching a movie you want to see over and over when i watch you videos ! Ashley reading at the end helped make me feel as though i was there. thank you bill🙂

Sitting at breakfast this morning I saw you had a new video and I knew watching it on my IPad wouldn’t do it justice. Grabbed my coffee and had movie night on the big screen at 7 am and this video is magic guys. The narration and the way you wove Ashley reading the book into the story was moving. Incredible camera and sound work as well as music. Not many KZfaq videos I watch that are over an hour that leave me wanting more, but this video sure did. Wishing you two a Happy Christmas and a 2024 that is full of winding rivers and more adventure.

O.K!! Just grabbed my birthday dinner and am sitting down for a treat it seems! It's contagious...first the Baird's, then Eze, now Canoe the north. Sweet. great tarp set up at 54:57, that would take me 3 days to figure out and setup.

Yukon sure does have some seriously unpredictable weather. Intense squalls and sun breaks wow. What an incredible experience.

What a memory. I canoed down the Big Salmon River 50 years ago. Thanks for the memory.

Finally got a chance to watch this video - well worth the wait 😊. One day I hope to get out to the Yukon and paddle some of those rivers. Thanks Keenan & Ashley 😊

Amazing scenery, love the format, Ashley reading aloud is a nice addition. Your movies just get better and better x

Ahhh...so many memories and feelings rekindled. My wife and I did this trip in the early 70's when it was still possible for me to sling a cedarstrip canoe up on my shoulders and to tromp along the portage trails. The 5 to 8 km drift of the Yukon and falling asleep to the sound of rocks rolling down an escarpment across the river. Thank you for the memories.

Great video guys! I was intrigued by your shelter choice and enjoyed seeing the info in previous comments. It looked like it worked perfectly! It looks like you survived mainly on your own dehydrated meals as usual… would love to see a brief vid with your gear and food that you brought and the pros or cons to anything that worked really well or not so well. Enjoy your next adventures!

Great to see you both again. What an awesome video. That was absolutely beautiful. Thank you both for taking us along on your magnificent adventure. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers

The sound from the gravel banks was amazing.

Awesome, can't wait to watch this!!! Here we go here we go here we go!!

You did a fabulous job on your video. Wow the story reading and her voice at the very end of each day was absolutely done to perfection. The way you guys encourage each other, say positive things to each other that was amazing and wonderful to see couples that love each other. Thank you.

Filmed and told with a lot of feeling! Perfect camera work and balanced mysticism, which can only be experienced by real nature lovers! Memories are awakened, we drove the B.S. 18 years ago. Thanks for taking it away! This is how films must be made: congratulations! LG Wolfgang

Looks like an excellent adventure. Thanks for filming and sharing it.

Another epic trip to the Yukon. The river looks so peaceful in the drone shots, but then your camera captures just how wild the river really is. Thx for sharing.

Excellent video, as always. You have such a wonderful way telling the stories of your adventures. Thank you for sharing the adventure with us. Your channel is amazing.

This is beyond "EPIC". I have never watch a video this well done, with a topic dear to my heart, than yours! Your talent with this video has gone beyond expectations, scenery captures, journaling, all of it superb! Every time I see you and Ashely sharing your adventures, I grab my canoe and go for a paddle. Thank you two so much for all this....just doesn't get any better. Never stop!

Wonderfully done, as usual. Your dogs are so friggin' cute. And the design of those trappers cabins are incredible. Bucket list trip guys.

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us.

That was your best film so far. Amazing footage of an amazing country. The film and the music and the words just came together so beautifully. Pure inspiration.

❤Beautiful video , thank you for sharing it 😊 beautiful narration , breathtaking scenery , great music..what a beautiful river ..i love your channel ..my favourite adventure channel ❤you are an amazing couple 😊

Great intro dude! Your cinematography and sound always blow me away. Your videos are the few I wait to watch on my full sized TV, instead of just the phone. Can’t wait to see this on the big screen!

aaaah gooosebumpssss memoriessss!! So beautiful guys, will watch between today and tomorrow xxx those final words by Robert service.... I want to go back and I will!!!!! Can't wait to return to that land

She is so adorable. And I don't think I have said that since I was in high school 35 years ago. You guys are so Zen, I'll just watch you to see how couples should talk to each. Her readings are epic and beautiful. So sweet. And I love her her gap. Character!

Awesome video! It was really cool seeing all those cabins along the way. It must have been such a peaceful vacation!

Good story about Dick Proenneke. Cool that you saw it in person! You're one of my favorites to watch, keep up the excellent work. Love that Ash and the dogs come along when they can. You and solo is cool but family is what makes the best memories.

Wow best video I’ve seen. I’m 66 years old. I’ve been in an equivalent to a garden of eden but only one night; where I couldn’t sleep due to the beauty and mystery. Your video is more vast and better than eden. Wish I was there. Consider me if you go on another adventurer- truly once in a life time adventure. I’d give it my all for what’s left in the world. Truly beautiful accomplishment and shared video.

So good to see you all again. Another beautiful piece of work. Your work really does something good for me. Many thanks!

Awesome! Such a great place and time for y'all. Enjoyed it, thanks for sharing your adventure!

Watched without a seconds skip,love from India

Nice how you experienced the Big Salmon River. Also with how calmly you approach this tour. I myself have paddled this river twice in the past. It is gratifying for me to refresh my memories with your pictures. I'm immediately inspired to plan the next tour of paddling. Keep it up, you're contagious.

The most impressive thing about your Yukon trips is that you drive to them. That is a feat all on its own considering you're from Ontario (iirc). BTW, the production quality and editing of your videos is bar-setting. As much as I love the other guys' stuff in this category, I'm most excited when I see you have a new video. I hope I drive the compliment home by saying that Jon/Lost Lakes is a close second. I suspect that he wouldn't be too disappointed to come in second to your videos.

Another award winning video. WELL DONE thank you!!!

The fact that you too did this, together, with 2 dogs!?! You are 1 out of a trillion plus. Thank you for this video. I haven't even finished watching it and I had to comment.

Hands down one of the best canoe videos I've seen (and I've seen LOTS). What an absolute pleasure - beautiful videography, calm personalities, and lovely music. Will be watching more of your adventures!

Very relaxing river traveling. Beautiful.

Well done Ashley and Keenan! Another stunning video. Absolutely loved watching it. I am currently reading a wonderful book called Kings of the Yukon - An Alaskan River Journey by Adam Weymouth. He also paddles down the Big Salmon River. Your video really brought the whole terrain to life. Wishing you both a really happy Christmas. Esmond

I have been looking forward to your video. Thank you. Watching you two is like my own escape to the North.

Speechless.

Love the video, and your dogs. Just wondering what your tarp/screen tent brand is. I love the simplicity of it, especially for summer camping

I stumbled on this video while watching other outdoor related content. I’m thoroughly impressed. The scenery is incredible and you both do excellent narrations. You’re voice reminds me of Kevin Bieksa, that’s intended as a compliment. Anyhow, really appreciate the work you both put into this and I’m eager to view more videos.

Getting closer to home for me. a grand video. Thank you for taking us along.

Impressed with your teamwork paddling, especially on that first section of river with obstacles. Great cross draws!! Calm attitudes are great. Those 20 footers are hard to portage in dense brush.

Great video! What a beautiful trip. I am really intrigued with your sleeping setup. Is that a 3mx3m tarp? What exactly is the screen sleeping area underneath it? Thanks for the video.

Still the best tarp setup on KZfaq.

Beautiful! Cant wait to give this a watch!

WOW ...amazing! Your films convey the experience of canoe tripping better than any others, love them! i'm 72 now, but canoe tripping was always our go to for vacations throughout the decades. My wife loved it as much as I, and sadly lost her to cancer 3 years ago. So many great memories, and your films rekindle them so well.

Amazing. Great report. Thanks for sharing!

These big trips need some kind of accompanying logistics/budget video. Show the rest of us how to make this remotely accessible

Spectacular scenery. Nice manoeuvring with a very long canoe. Great trip. Thanks

Boy you guys do such a beautiful job with these videos. So happy I found your channel. Inspiring.

Wow, amazing video again guys, you go from strength to strength. Definitely my favourite.The continued improvement and new format ideas grip you in, so you can share your adventure. Ashley’s readings were a great added feature, listening to that calming English accent. Award winning ❤

Reading the river with you ! Great job ! Thanks for taking us along. Loved the trip .

Well done as always, thanks for sharing.

Hey guys, great trip as always, Louise and I watched it together. Thank you for sharing, merry Christmas. , Bob

Another masterpiece! Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

Thank God I found this--wow. Jim Baird, and now you guys--Yukon here I come.

Great adventure, fantastic video! Looking forward to seeing more!

amazing and transformative

Outstanding in so many ways

I could listen to Ashley's reading for hours. Awesome trip...

Great to watch. You are giving Jon from LOST LAKES serious competition. Your wife is a real good sport. I hope she likes it here in the colonies as the Brits call it.

I sent info to my niece so my great nephews and niece (6,4,2) could see the animals and birds in a serene setting. Thank you soo much. Better than theme parks!!!! I used to take the niece and her brothers camping at a state park. Still have the memories and a few photos. Love!

What a marvelous trip, looks like a lot of work, but I bet it was well worth the struggle!!! Thanks for take us along and sharing

Ok you two crazy kids...love this beautiful chronicle of your trip. I had the good fortune of living in Watson Lake for a couple years and this video brings back many wonderful memories. I never got to paddle the wild rivers up there so following you on your adventures there has been a treat. Thank you. 🎉

Oh buddy! I'm sitting down and digging in. The hook looks epic!

Fantastic. Beautifully filmed and narrated.

Beautiful...well done! Awesome trip (and STILL without Ketchup-lol)😛

Another Grand adventure. Both of you are an awesome team. I have FUN!, when I watch. Thanks…

Beautiful video of a magnificent part of Canada and nature, well done. What is the make and style of the tent/fly in the video?

The way you work together is as beautiful as the scenery! Great show!

I loved this! I typically don't see these wilderness videos across my feed and I'm so glad yours did. The videography is wonderful and so professional! I felt like I was there and immersed in your story. I absolutely loved Ashley reading the story at the end of each day. You guys are a sweet couple and very kind to each other. It is rare to see! I subscribed - 57 year old grammy from New Hampshire!

Not a bad place to get lost in. Great video guy's!

EPIC video and you now have a new subscriber. Thank you for the effort you put in to bring us along on this journey with you!!!

Fantastic video, very enjoyable to watch. Beautiful river and scenery. Your two dogs are great traveling companions. So mellow and well behaved. Thanks for sharing your spectacular journey.

Simply put....AWESOME !! Loved every minute of this vid !
