Such an AUTHENTIC adventure guys, you really MADE it your own - super well done! Oh my gosh, it must have been even more INSANELY beautiful in its original form.. the glimpses of the past clearly SHOUT beauty.

My friend's cottage is the first on the left. Half the Shawanaga Lake boat launch is their property. Another friend of my has a cottage just as you exit Shawanaga River into Georgian Bay. I should probably do this river sometime. So much crown land!

I've been up around White River a few times, never on it. I can't believe how amazing that river is. Thanks for a the journey. Perhaps one day I'll try some of its easy rapids. Will have to get a rock solid canoe now.

Just today came across this video which brought back some memories.. I did this river with a group of 12 Junior Rangers(6Canoes) on/about 1969, watching your video only confirmed my memory of its harsh river conditions.. I don't recall no Federal Park office back in those days...I was working for the old Department Lands and Forests in those days.. at 75yrs, I wouldn't dare try canoeing it today... I would have been 19yrs old in 1969. We all had Cedar Strip Canoes in those days and had to stop several times to patch the canoes from rock damage with spruce/pine gum pitch.

Where or how did you hide your packs before hiking up to silver peak. Weren’t you worried to return and not find it. Stolen by a bear or possibly another hiker?

Hi David, My friend Jm and I watched your series on the White River before we se out on the Upper White in 2021 and the Lower White in 2022. Right now, I am working on the video of that trip and was hoping to detail some of the sources of our information.. Not sure how KZfaq does this, but would you be ok if i picked a single 10 second cut of your video to reference your series on the White River ? No worries if you would rather not. Thanks for the great information. It certainly was a fun river to paddle!

17:05 The bow paddler is fantastic. Having a bow paddler like that makes all the difference in the world. I love paddling from the bow like that but at 220 pounds I'm too heavy for it in serious rapids and the boat nose dives. I always end up in the stern wishing I had a better bow paddler.

Just stumbled across your channel. I watched the whole series near Ardbeg. Great adventure. My shiny new carbon kevlar 17' Swift Prospector would not like those rock :/ Keep up the great videos.

I wanted to see the North water cover here I've seen them a lot in the bush but I've got a cover that needs to be finished for a boat that I've built and paddled for 20,000 km at this point. Then I want a North water cover for a Northstar canoe from the states that I want to get but the North water guys I guess should mention that it's contact cement both sides of the cement are supposed to dry that's how the cement works so I hope your patches stick.

Hi David. I tried a drysuit on my last run. It's quite a bit taller than I am. I didn't swim during the run but took a dip after cause it was hot (the water was cold) and founf that the water pushing up against the material made it feel like I was wearing a cast and I couldn't really move my legs at all. I was very surprised and now I am very leery about using it...

I used this video with my granddaughter as a training film to show her just how a Crossbow Draw is done correctly. She struggles with that stroke but now she understands the position of the blade and the angle of the paddle shaft. She can't wait to get back on the river to use it. Nice video all around and good views of the lines you chose. On that one rapid where you caught the small eddy on the left ----- Hitting that drop at an angle to catch the small eddy at the bottom was very instructive to both of us. I have paddled with her mother, my daughter, since 1995. We have paddled some big rivers in CA and we once, on the Trinity River, we got rammed into an undercut cliff wall and then trapped in an eddy with a big logjam downstream because we hit a big hole a bit off center than we should have been. We have been reluctant to try that again. We got out ok but it was one of the worst situations we have ever been in on any river. Now I am paddling with my granddaughter and it's back to square one but it's still fun for an 85 year old man to be out on the river with a pretty girl with an awesome Draw Stroke in the bow.

This was a great story being told. As a person who has paddled the White River from White Lake Park to Hattie Cove 14 times, and once solo, the memories flooded my soul. There were places lost and will never be found, there were majestic rapids that now run under large lakes, but in the end, the White River still prevails with its finding home at Superior. Again, thank you, great great great canoe video.
