I've been putting trips like this off for too many years. At almost 59 now, i have no excuses anymore. Time to start living! Thanks for sharing your trip and motivating!

I'm originally from Munising> I go back up north for a few weeks every fall, but now I live in Florida. I'm 80 and have been trying to get my wife to move back for 30 years. If you are an adventure-loving Michigander don't fall for the "Winters are too cold B.S" It's not a wise trade-off for 100-degree summers with 100% humidity and storms that blow your house away. I love the Lake Superior surf fishing videos. I'm an avid fisherman and I don't recall anyone fishing from Superior's shore other than myself 40 years ago. Manistee is my second choice for a place to live and play in Michigan. That area is possibly the best place to raise a family and build a life in Michigan. I'd love to see a complete float of the Escanaba or the Tahquamenon rivers. They both traverse through some beautiful country and are excellent fishing. Your enthusiasm and practical bush knowledge are informative, infectious, and light-hearted, however; I can't watch your videos before meals. I tend to take your enthusiasm to the table. Thanks for the seat in the canoe and by the fireside.

As a Muskegon born Michigander whose spent over 60 years exploring the western side of Michigan, I can't tell how amazing it is to have discovered your RU-vid channel recently. Boy do I have stories about this particular stretch of river. Thanks man.

Today was one of my lowest mental health day I have had in two years. Your enthusiasm and joy was the difference maker. You never know what sharing your adventures can do. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more videos.

28:55 thats an amazing quote. "The Bacon is so crispy, the coffee is hot, life is good:

Oliver's cameraman... the only guy on RU-vid who's got a better woohoo than NorthwWest Fishing Secrets' Lief.

What a blast! Love this guy's energy and enthusiasm. Can't fake that.

6 day adventure on Manistee River amazing Kyle with Oliver so cool! Thanks for all that u do in making these videos!

So excited to watch this! Your videos help take me back to growing up in northern Michigan. Thanks for what you do, Kyle!

Look forward to your videos every week.. great stuff.. I’m a northern Michigan native living in WV, PA for the last 15 years. Don’t get to get back much, so you’re adventures take me back to when I was your age.. good job man! Oliver is awesome!

You know this but here it is. "the life you are now living is not a dress rehearsal for your next, so grab up all of the gusto you can as you only go around once". Your adventures prove this point. Keep paddling forward.

That was unreal. There probably aren’t too many people who can say they’ve done that trip! ❤

The scenery at 38:10 seriously took my breath away. Amazing video🎉🎉

Another awesome adventure, Kyle! You couldn't have made it without Oliver as your navigator.😊

I have so much respect for you and your life. You never disappoint and any adventure you are doing is my favorite. Thanks for sharing this with us.

That dog lives a better life than a lot of humans I know....keep it up!!

11:18, Love your excitement and enthusiasm. All my fishing buddies do is complain and vent testosterone.

WOW that was such a awesome adventure love watching your videos there no pampering it's all the real deal keep them coming I'm always looking and waiting for them. Useing muscles you normally don't use I'll bet they were hurting.

you are one of a kind man! Great job.

Anything you and Oliver attempt makes for an awesome adventure!!!❤

Awesome!!! The wife and I have just started taking short "adventures" like this. End of June, we (and Potatoes...our golden) canoed from Hodenpyl to Tippy. Camped at the first site we came to on the lake/river mouth. 25mph headwind, all 6 miles of Tippy pond! We just got back from a long weekend, on Tippy. Put the boat in and found a spot to camp. Walleye are deep, in there! Pulled 3 out of 40ft. We've been regulars at Coho Bend for 20 years. My grandparents started out there in the late 70's-early 80's...we've had the same spot for over 40 years!

Damn dude what a trip ! Glad to see they raised the bridge for you in Manistee !!! Super cool Kyle keep up the adventures.

A Klassic Kyle adventure! Loved every moment! One of my favorite episodes!

What an adventure you had! I watched the whole thing and am amazed not only with the adventure, but with the amount of planning you had to do to make this a reality. I'm glad your arm is better. I really love all of your videos, so just keep doing what brings you joy!

As someone who used to camp and fish in northern Michigan, this video brings back so many fond memories. The connection to places like Munising and Manistee is strong, and it's wonderful to see these areas being appreciated and enjoyed by others

What an absolutely epic trip! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us, I know I enjoyed every minute of it

Love your videos! I Michigan born and raised and love your excitement for the outdoors here !

Kyle! It was so exciting you did this! I have fished from ccc to 131 for 45 plus years. I have been trying to purchase something in that stretch for many years, its tough. I can't believe I haven't run into you in Fife area. You do great work, keep it up, might hire you someday.

I can't believe we got to do that with you! Thank you so much! Amazing!!

Omgeezy, all time favorite! Best RU-vid channel by a million plus miles

People will hate you at the same time they are loving you. The adventure you just took us, the viewers on was such a visually exciting and well editited movie it made me feel like I was on the canoe with you. Your vision of how adventure should be shared is next level. Keep going strong. YOU ROCK !!!

What a joy to ride along. Thank you!

This is truly inspirational and what life is all about. I hope to do this someday soon. Once my little one gets a bit older

So enjoyed today’s video. Keep them coming

Wow what a trip enjoyed watching every minute of it.

Wow! I’ve always wanted to do the same thing and you did it + Oliver! Thanks brotha! I hope to see you on the river some day!

Masterpiece! Tremendous

This trip was so awesome I watched it twice in 2 weeks. I really like this style of video (on the river), you could do fewer miles and fish more for my liking. Actually, now I want to do part of this trip this coming fall as a cast and blast weekend.

Love your enthusiasm! Great trip and video!

Dude, your enthusiasm is electric. Another awesome video. Well done.

What an amazing journey and a great video.

Another amazing video Kyle, do enjoy watching your content. Keep it up dude

If you find a flat rock you can rub the top of a can back and forth on it and it should wear down the steel so the lid can be popped off…love the videos..rock on brother!

Every time you make me nuts you are leaving the life bud Keep them coming 😂

Way to go! This is a great video and your channel can give me ideas for sections to kayak with the family.

I'm from Grand rapids Michigan love canoeing the Manistee river and the muskegon. I've kayaked from Houghton lake Greensburg damn all the way to the muskegon three weeks of pure fun and adventure

Awesome ! Drag a chain when you're fishing , it will slow you down and keep you in control

Great . Much enjoyed your documentary, your journey with your 4 legged buddy. I wish I was a younger man. Sure would like to try that. Liked your energy. Loved your and dog. Got a bit hungry watching you cook your meals. Well done young man.

Great Adventure!! Good Job filming!!

I just found your channel and subscribed! The energy is through the roof baby, Let’s go!

Love your enthusiasm through the whole trip!! I subscribed. Keep sharing your trips and adventures!! Stay safe!!

Absolutely awesome. Beautiful footage, livin my dream. I'm hooked on his videos. A man and his dog livin the max life. Stay in the boat Ollie. Love it ❗️👍

What a great video! The trip looked amazing! Those morning shots of the sunrise and the fog, absolute perfection!

Nice trip! I’ve started in the Grayling area and gone the opposite way on the Au Sable out to Lake Huron. You should do that next. It was a lot of fun!

Great video kyle!! I appreciate the hard work involved.

Great video. I love camping and I work time. Before summer is over, I will go camping.

I’ve just stumbled across this video; this is genuinely amazing content. Great drone shots, documented so well over the course of your trip! I love that you brought Oliver! Absolutely underrated channel man; fantastic stuff man, can tell you love it. God bless

Awesome channel, great videos. what an amazing trip! I love the Tippy Dam Pond, I did 2 trips there last year on my solar barrel boat camper.

Nice! Great video footage! What a great life.

That feeling of knowing theres a lone mosquito in your room/tent waiting to feast on you as you sleep. Ahhh!

Sweet video man! Kept my interest the whole way through. Hoping to do some trips like this next year.🤞

dude, thats a lot of work for one man and a golden. kudos and hope thats off your bucket list. now get out on the big lake and catch some big guys!

I just found your channel. Thanks for the content and taking us along on your trip.

It looks like a lot of fun

Amazing and inspiring. So happy you got to cross this off the list.

Keep it real, and stayen positive is the key to life. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to your next adventure,

Great video, just got my first kayak and really want to do one of these adventures! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

This was another great adventure trip! My favorite style of fishing is adventure fishing and most of your videos are absolutely that. The camping, fishing and exploring is what I love to do and you have the best channel in Michigan if not the country. Keep doing what you do bro!

Very awesome video I enjoy your videos I've never fished Manistee river always the pm

Get an anchor system rigged up in order to drop when you hook a big fish. Will save you from losing some hogs and getting into some sticky situations while fighting them, esp. in faster water. I do a lot of similar fishing for trout and bass out of a yak and paddle board.

Wow what an accomplishment!! My folks have a place on Tippy Dam Rd right by the dam, I have fished up and down that river from Tippy to the mouth in my river boat but have never considered floating the whole stretch.. I don't think most people understand how far that is and that was only a 1/4 of your trip!!! Hats off to you brother.. Drone footage rising above the fog was truly the best shot I think I've seen!! Thank you for sharing..

Living in N.Ont, and heading over to Mich all the time I've always wondered about multi day paddle routes...I guess I always imagined all the waterfront would be built up on or private property. Great to see this stretch exists...cool adventure, nice brown!

Love the drone shots.

What an unbelievable trip Kyle! You and Ollie just having a blast. Would love an AuSable river trip vid. Thanks for what you do.

IMO this is one of your best... You put out some great videos, for whatever reason this one just resonated.

Such a beautiful view of everything reminds of trout lake nwt Canada

It's SO exciting to float onto lake Michigan and round that pier point! I did greenville to grand haven in 3 days and rounding that pier was a tear jerker!

I get the feeling Ollie doesn’t want to stay in the boat 🤣💪🏻

You have an awesome companion there with Oliver, what a cool dog!

Great video. I love the energy! River love! I just moved here. I'm going to make that river my home. 💙

Awesome video! I love the Manistee River, one of my favorites to fish. The portage at Tippy is rough. But, at least it doesn’t involve the stairs from hell 😂

@ 1:08 *pulls out a few sticks of TNT...* Great adventure as always. I've been camping on the backwaters of Tippy since the late 70's and absolutely love that area.
