Episode 1 of Where The Waters Begin
Where The Waters Begin documents a 300km canoe expedition through the geographic heart of Quebec and expansive wilderness of Eeyou Istchee. The route begins in the remote Otish Mountains with a descent down the Tichégami River. Following in the footsteps of the Cree peoples, our journey would guide us along headwater courses, who shepherd us across the height of land and out beyond the abyss of Quebec's largest lake.

The kit you hope to never bust out, a few extra pounds in the pack, but it comes in clutch when you need it most! Not much else you can do in those situations beyond hope it works out, and if it doesn't, you're looking ay more walking than paddling lol.

We find the harder trips really help you both grow together as a couple. Overcoming challenges as a team helps to put everything else into perspective. We've always said a canoe trip that pushes your boundaries is a good litmus test to see how you tackle the rest of what life throws your way. You don't need to jump into an expedition, but slowly push the comfort zone together. There's no better feeling when you've overcome hardship and accomplished something together. Wishing you two the best on your own adventures through life!

I try not to comment like this (I am a fan), but... I think that it is time to look at poling skills. Those boulder fields are a poler's dream and if lining is an option except for the shoreline, well... time to pull out the long stick. Worked fine for the previous ten thousand years! I saw your presentation at the O.B.C.S. last spring and it was great, so I am looking forward to this series!
@ExploreTheBackcountry
@ExploreTheBackcountry Год назад
Hey Stephen, I think you'll look at EP III and some of IV with a keen eye then. 90% of the up and downstream travel to the height of land would be 100% poleable; good gradients, canoe has water to float through, decent lines and places to wedge the poles. Generally, I find we often run out of water a lot more than depicted on screen where we have to lift or drag the canoe over rocks or a ledge but, this wasn't so much the case on this section of travel. I stand up in the canoe often to river scout or pseudo-pole with my paddle, much to the chagrin of some folks who have the belief that standing up in a canoe is inherently dangerous; though last I checked, good balance is key component for craft control. I have no doubt the next level of skill with regards to poling would be fun to hone.

Wicked, hope you enjoy Adam! I did some grading, though not nearly as much as I'd normally do. A good chunk is derived from LUTs which I've been experimenting with.
