Dugout Canoe Paddling: The Marias River Adventure in Montana 

Loved this video and the video of you guys creating this canoe. Montana is such a beautiful state however I've never been to that part of Montana but definitely would love to do that journey down that stretch of river like you guys did. Thank you so much for sharing and excellent choice in music also it kept me attuned with excitement the entire time.

That thing is a beast! It's loaded down with gear and two men and it's still sitting high above the water and looks very, very stable. Beautiful canoe!

Bella reminds me of a great friend! What a beautiful maiden cruise! Very inspirational, thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸✅🤠🌵

I live the music and camping and your boat

That is an amazing canoe. Love the video and the music.

Great to see and hear you made a complete descent of the Missouri river and arrived at the Arch in St. Louis on Nov 4th, 2019! 2400-miles down the Mo....great trip and loved the photos.

تجربة مختلفة تماما عما تعودنا مشاهدته في اليوتيوب. كما انك تقدم صورة إيجابية و مشرفة عن المواطن الأمريكي. ( أحببت الأغنية كثيرا) صديقك خالد و صديقك سيف 🇩🇿

Nice back round music👌👌👌😊😊

Love the fact you used an Aussie song in the beginning 🇦🇺💖

That's just awesome!! Congratulations...God blessed you guys with a great gift to be able to do that!! Y'all are very lucky. I know you will enjoy that very much!!!!

wow beautiful prawns, nice trip

Absolutely fantastic! I wish this trip was shown as a series of videos as opposed to one video. I would have loved to see much more detail so that I can use it to plan a similar outing. Thank you so much

Very well done....really enjoyed it! Four of us old bucks are doing the same float this coming September. Bella really is a beauty, Thanks for sharing.

You guys did something so cool! Thank you for documenting it and sharing, its fantastic!

Well done, thanks for sharing!

Reminded me of my youth. Great canoe and video. Enjoy the lands my friend's. God bless.

Superb, from the bare log to the maiden voyage I was just 100% with you all. Thank you so much for sharing, I really enjoyed the experience. Best wishes from the Isle of Mull, Scotland.

watched the build of meldona and the "cruise" down the river ,Great job .

Great video

Very cool, Tom. I'll have to come by and see her!

nice work guys

Epic journey from all your hard work. Congrats!

6:10 all I can see is papyrus... why... But that dugout canoe is a titan! Beautiful craft guys!

Most ppl that are woodsmen at heart dont care about those no trespassing signs lol. great video.

I've been waiting for this video. It seems much more stable and less "truckish" than I anticipated, though watching you launch it, a portage is a non-starter. I imagine grounding it on a shoal could be problematic as well. Overall a very interesting project and great maiden voyage. Well done.

Лодка отлично держит баланс на воде.Природный ланшафт и берега во многих местах походят на наши сунженские леса и реку в Чечне. Ваша бережное отношение и любовь к природе очевидна и достойна внимания. Спасибо вам огромное, как буд-то сам, с вами совершил путешествие по этим прекрасным местам.

Those trail/cowboy beans look scrumptious,,,I am in Saudi Arabia working and I miss food like that🤧 So glad to see you did an additional video to the last one, this story has motivated me to do somthing similar when I get home with a couple months vacation coming. Did you work on it daily or was it a weekend thing , and that's why it took you 3 months?

Хорошее путешествие. И деревянное каноэ хорошо держится на воде, устойчевое, не кувыркается.

Muito boa esta aventura rio abaixo. Bela canoa

Magical thank-you for sharing

Молодцы, интересный сплав получился ) всех благ .

Aqui no Brasil os índios faziam esse tipo de canoa a muitos anos atrás com ferramentas rudimentares, um abraço.

Fantastic.‼️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing, I wish to do that in my old age.

Bella is a beautiful dugout but it must be a bear to portage, lol. Great trip!

Awesome :-)

Muy lindo👏👏👏👏👏

Hello so good luck

your book is very well done and usefull

What a wonderful it must have been for Lewis and Clark to explore new territory.

I really enjoyed watching you guys on that adventure. This is the way one sould experience the beauty of nature. Just be out there, not destroying nature like thousands of tourists doing it by rushing to that one point of interest by car, trampling down everything and leaving loads of trash behind. I wish we would have such beautiful rivers down here were I live, where you can go for days and weeks without having any dam or other building blocking your way. Our rivers are blocked by dams every few kilometers, which makes it impossible to really travel far by boat and also there are almost no fish in there anymore, because they are also unable to travel along the river. Keep on going and let us be part of your adventures, greetings from germany One question, where is the water at 15:00 coming from? Is it normal that some water seeps through the wood in that kind of canoes? Or is it coming from some rain?

That eagle left food for you guyz

Cool

I wish I could find friends who'd like to do something like this.. I'm truly jealous.

Here's hoping you record and share the Missouri River experience!

Wonderful

Well done guys. I came from the build video. Not a camping outdoorsy type, but somehow you may have sparked a new life interest! Did Bella sail much differently in reverse?

ordered your book! Is there a guide to the Marias River anywhere?

You all are amazing. Beautiful canoe. Have you taken your 2400 mile trip down the Missouri river?

I'm an experienced canoeist in Minnesota, but I've never paddled a dugout. How does it "ride" compared to the store-bought varieties?

Thats a damn hearty looking stew you fix, there, Thomas! Got a recipe video for it?

Thomas, I see that this was posted Jul 4, 2018, but when did you actually float and film this?

Im Scandanavian!

Nice!

Thats awesome

Tell me please as the song is called, at the end of video!?

I would guess 350 to 450 lbs --hard portage.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Did she leak at all? Beautiful Bella!

Спасибо за ссылку на 2 часть - сейчас смотрю и мне очень нравится! Thanks for the link to part 2 - now I'm looking. I live in Perm. It is located on the banks of the Kama River. I composed, sang, played and recorded a song about this river: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-StzaXNlianY.html Немного другой стиль: 👍 👎

Can l ask what month you will paddle the Massouri?

Just don’t get why an Aussie song was paired with this video. The canoe perfect......

COULD U PLEASE SELL ME THIS BOAT

Very 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇩🇪

I am a poor man. By no means a millionaire or a billionaire. I own three measly Acres free and clear in the woods. No one is allowed to just come and camp on my property. No one has a right to that. I have the right to my property. I earned it. It's mine. Other than that, nice video.
