Rob, life is full of ups and downs. I have learned that throughout life to enjoy the view on the mountaintop because it won't be long before I will be in the valley and won't even be able to see the mountain. I don't know you but love the dedication of this time to your dad. Carry on!

Hey again Rob, despite the age of this video, I'm sorry about you losing your father, my dad has been gone for almost four years already, plus I lost my mom back in May 2016, the same week as the big fire that swept through Fort McMurray, AB. On a brighter note, I do enjoy the variety of content on your two KZfaq channels, I also enjoy the outdoors of Thunder Bay and area, except in the winter, lol. Have a good day and week sir, bye for now.

Even if only for 3 days it's nice to get away when the stress and emotion of a great loss can seem overwhelming . Very sorry to hear about your Dad .

Thank you. Picking up our boat from Kangaroo Valley this week. Same lightweight design. Regards from Aus

Inspiring, This year has been too busy for water adventure so the Pelican is covered in dust... at least we can watch your journey and dream, those canoe's are mighty light and seem to be the cats meow for this type of trip Looking forward to see more Thanks Rob all the best !

You wont swamp unless you canoe like you ride your quad. Nice trip and thanks for the footage.

You sure have had a rough few months Rob. Glad to see you were able to get away for a few days. Take care!

I highly recommend a kayak paddle. You will never go back unless you are a purist. I spent 4 days in a Prism last spring. I never took my butt off of the seat. I didn't dare. Not even to reach forward to shift a pack or reach for a fishing pole. Did not feel stable. I will try something new next year. I splurged and got a double bend Werner kayak paddle. Light as a feather. Very ergonomic for the wrists.

Thanks for posting wish you had shown getting in and getting out of clothes that's my problem

Nice video! Looks fun and very nice canoe. How would that canoe do in the ocean? Could it handle the big wakes from fishing boats?

There are clips you can buy that will allow you to stow your paddle inside the boat, leaves your hands free.

well rob .. i been lots worst on canoe trip then yours ...lightning ,thunder,really heavy rain fall .. all of my camping gears including sleeping bag are soaks and wet .. i have to spend a night with out it

Thank you for not ruining it with music. Next time turn the camera around towards the front so we can see & hear the experience instead of a guy & talking.

Wondering about your portage yoke mount. Is that something you purchased or designed?

I have done 5 solo trips in a Minn3. I would chose it over a prism . To me , they J stroke is an energy sucking stroke. With a paddle, its stroke stroke switch and repeat. At least get yourself an ultra light paddle. Spend the big bucks. It will last you the rest of your life

It’s probably a good idea not to have a fire in that wind . Thanks 👍🇨🇦

nice canoe, but you should invest in some canoeing lessons. ppl that switch sides all the time need lessons, especially when buying a solo canoe.
