Canoes and a wilderness expedition. One of the finest wilderness rivers I have ever travelled. It is remote and unspoilt. Part 2 includes some of the hardest white water rapids plus, lining and portaging: it covers just one day on our journey but action packed and exhausting. Part 3 will continue down, what some of the Dene called, Dead Man's River'.

I was working with Paul Kirtley from frontierbushcraft.com Paul and Frontier are continuing to lead trips in Canada's Boreal Forest. My guiding out there, at the age of 71, has come to a close. I am still coaching and guiding in the UK including trips with Frontier.
Many thanks to the team of Anouk, Tim, Bert, Keith, Julie and Keith. Thanks to Henry who was assisting on the trip and a special thanks to my bow paddler David. I really appreciate your efforts David.
The map/guide: Dan at GoTrekker Maps gave me kind permission to reproduce parts of the map in the video. Thank you. The maps are available from: gotrekkers.com/porcupine-rive...
The canoes used on the trip were Esquif Prospectors.

I edged and leaned into every manoeuvre but just before the capsize I nearly fell off my chair edging so far over and no paddle for support, the mouse saved me. Excellent stuff.

Classic and just showing the younger paddler or less experienced why you can’t just boof down the middle when you’ve got loads of kit or mixed ability paddlers or both. It’s a definite knack threading your way down the edges of the flow whilst avoiding the eddy lines / capsize risks. I also liked the squally sequence - although it reminded me of every course I’ve ever been on or ran at Llangorse, I’ve even had windy conditions on the Ardeche that have blown the boats over of experienced paddlers. Another mega valuable video here ray with dozens of learning points. Chapeau!

Good to hear your instruction to David. Giving specific clear instructions to my crew is not something I do well !
@RayGoodwinCanoe
@RayGoodwinCanoe 2 месяца назад
Thanks you for that. But, and it is a big one, I think the main failing David and I had was him becoming dependant on my commands. I really want an independent bow paddler, One I agree the line with beforehand and then the absolute minimum of communication in the rapid. With an experienced bow paddler I end up reading there body and paddle moves and then try to follow those. It works well with a good team.

Holy ravioli ! David was very brave to take on such rapids with little experience. I have done that myself and it is very intimidating when you are not sure about what is going to happen. Amazing adventure , congrats to all participants. After seeing part 1 yesterday I loaded my canoe on the trailer and went out for a paddle. Thanks Ray, Igor Greetings from Belgium

I work hard to train folk to bring that tea. An important challenge on every trip. Yep I thought the same with those stages hence part 2 only covered one paddling day (plus the rest day). Lots to show.

Greetings Ray from a Yorkshire Lad BC. Your video makes me yearn to get back on our lakes and rivers after the winter, snow has almost gone at our elevation and most lakes are accessible albeit via very muddy trails. My wife and I have canoed together for 25 years at least and the first trip of the year is always a very speciaI experience. It is great to see you and Paul Kirtley accessing the endless possibilities for outdoor adventure in Canada and sharing it with others. Thanks for your considerable service to canoeing.

I found it interesting your analysis of your communication after your swim, I find when you really need to communicate the less and the more simple it is the better it works. (normally one of us cant hear the other over the noise of the water)
@RayGoodwinCanoe
@RayGoodwinCanoe 2 месяца назад
Absolutely agree with you. Paddling with my normal bow paddlers I would have expected them to use their own initiative. Problem was David didn't have the experience to make his own judgements early on hence the amount of commands. Later on i needed to use less and less with him. Paddling with my wife, who is an awesome solo and bow paddler we communicate very little, once the line was agreed, and basically our philosophy is that I am following her. I think this swim shows the failings of commanding from the rear but there was little choice with David's inexperience and nervousness. So I agree totally with you on the hearing and noise. It was purely the situation we were in. Lina and I paddling together on the Drone in the south of France: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BhPkJ7b-qGc.html

Hi Ray. Serious question. What does "keep your arse down" mean, when your sitting on the seat?
@RayGoodwinCanoe
@RayGoodwinCanoe 2 месяца назад
His bum was touching the seat but there was no weight there hence he was looking unsteady/wobbling. Does that make sense? Remember he is kneeling.

If I was twenty years younger I would say if I was ten years younger I'd like to try that. Bought a sit on kayak so I could play on the beach though. Would like to put some sail on it also for fun. Watched some of your earlier videos on the sail stuff so this year maybe will get some more entertainment. Hope it was Yorkshire tea.

I would have considered it had they been available. We are dependent on what we can hire. I have used them on the Bonnet Plume in Yukon/North West Territories. Also used them on the sea in around the Uk. But it comes down to what we can hire.

Looks like a big load for the boat. No poles were used on this trip? Nice recovery. I can't help but wonder if your bow paddler finally settled down by the end of the trip? He seems to a bit timid.
@RayGoodwinCanoe
@RayGoodwinCanoe 2 месяца назад
It was a 12 day trip so yes heavily laden but nothing the canoes could not cope with. No poling. Yep David did settle down by the end: it was a real baptism of fire for him. Looked quite different on the final days.

It would not move to the left with me paddling the stern on the right. It needed the bow paddler to pull the bow right.
