The Never Again River - Extensive Blowdowns Possible

The wild winding Obabika River comes with a warning - "extensive blowdowns possible"! As we would discover, they absolutely were "possible", and they were highly possible at every bend in the river! Join Ashley, myself (Keenan), and our two dogs Hugo and Betty-Lou on this multi day canoe trip through the Temagami wilderness, and down the Obabika River. This trip had a little bit of everything, from thousands of bugs, a sprained ankle, log-jams and windy lakes! It is also a place of extreme beauty, peace and solitude. We found some great campsites, ancient pictographs and amazing scenery. Temagami gives you a little bit of everything, which is why it has quickly become one of our favourite canoe destinations anywhere.

Don't hate me for saying it again, but the two of you have a special gift for editing. Professional work!! That crackling wood and those flickering flames on the campfire scene had me getting all cozy. A few more seconds of that and it would've been lights out for me. Love your videos. Again I thank you for taking me with you

Damn blowdowns, about 20 years ago when I was 15, I did a summer canoe trip with about 10 people in Temagami. Our trip was supposed to be 7 days, but on day 3 we had a similar issue. Our portgage and or the map was wrong, and we couldn't progress. So we ended up going back to day 1, then doing a 7 day trip in 3 days essentially lol.

@raybarkley1507 2 года назад

Hey guys I came across your Chanel a few weeks ago great camping videos . I was wondering why your dogs are not wearing life jackets?

@CanoeTheNorth 2 года назад

Hi Ray. Thanks for the comment. That's a good question. Ill start by saying that we always used to have them wear life jackets. We stopped (most of the time) for a couple of reasons. The first is that after several days in a row of wearing them our dogs would develop hot spots where the moisture was held against their skin all day. The other reason is that we have had them get tangled in the bush with branches getting stuck between them and the lifejacket. If we were to dump on a river like the obabika we worry about them getting accidentally hung up on a branch. These are two of the biggest reasons we don't have them wear them anymore. Obviously there are dangers as well with not wearing them but when we weigh the pros and cons for us this is what we have decided makes the most sense for their safety. Hope you understand.

@terrywhite9017 Год назад

Good morning, this video is amazing in its own right. It is great see you work together and over come difficult obstacles. That one campsite, well, we can't win them all, makes others that much more refreshing. Love you and love to all.

@@CanoeTheNorth It seems so!

The upper Sturgeon from the Ishpatina crossing is more of a whitewater trip. Summer fun is coming soon :-)

@tomtommy2227 4 месяца назад

Completed the Obabika river this past weekend and it went very well. Now, like this coming weekend is the time to go back and do it again with the high water!! We had 8-9 spots where we were able to wedge the canoes around logs close to shore through small trees without exiting the canoes, or just power over the logs, with a couple spots that required stepping out onto a log, there was one spot a couple km's before the George Gordon bridge where we had to drag about 20m to get around a small log jam, but the terrain was easy to work with. There was still one massive log jam that hadn't been cleared but there were portage signs in place to get around it, it was an easy portage and very short. We put in on Obabika, paddled up it then took out at the George Gordon bridge as the stream into Wawiagama lk was very much a no go. It was a 12k'ish hike back to the vehicles. I can see that this river will likely quickly become a mess again as more trees fall into it.

Why I love this video…there is no embellishment!!! Been on canoe trips like this one…I can truly appreciate all the work that you two went thru! So many videos show all the good things…stars, sunsets, northern lights, etc…this one hits the nail on the head! Good job! 😎

@CanoeTheNorth 7 месяцев назад

Awesome. Thank you! Anyone who's done enough canoe tripping has had a few of these trips. Always appreciate your comments.

Awesome Carol. We are so glad that you found our channel. Thank you very much for the support.

@carolearl4761 Год назад

@@CanoeTheNorth I am curious......do you tell someone where your going? I'm just thinking about your safety. The episode where you hurt your ankle for instance. What would you guys have done, if you had broken it? Thanks again for all your hard work! Your videos are helping me to keep my sanity, during these crazy times! All the best to you all!

@@carolearl4761 hey Carol. Thanks for the message. On every trip we go on we actually carry two satellite devices that allow us to call for help almost anywhere in the world. We also always let someone (normally my family) know where we are going and do daily checks with them to let them know we are ok. We’ve only had to use the device for an emergency once where we got blocked off by a forest fire and needed a safe route around or though it but thankfully all went well. Hopefully we won’t need to use it again but they are there just in case.

THAT was an emotional roller coaster that I never want to go on again!!! Beautiful and amazing but also horrible. Great job. I applaud you both. 👏

@CanoeTheNorth 2 года назад

Haha. Thank you so much J M. We never want to go on that roller coaster again either.

My goodness that was challenging! Despite your own challenges you made a beautiful movie. Well done in completing the trip and making some beautiful memories, that won't be attempted again.

Another great video. We had a similar issue with log-jams on the Onakawana River years ago; around every turn in the river. Great Videography.

Seems to be a common theme on that river! Thanks Paul.

Thanks for doing that route for me, now I don’t have to do it, lol. Not all trips are A trips for sure. Hope the ankle is ok.

@CanoeTheNorth 2 года назад

Lol.....ya no kidding! Ankle is feeling pretty good now. We actually got a message from Ted Baird and he said that he had talked to a man who had paddled it and had no obstructions at all!?! Teds experience on the river sounded very similar to ours. Hope your summers going well!

I really want to know how your clipper ultra light did through all that dragging.

@CanoeTheNorth 2 года назад

Hi Wendy. The clipper held up great. It certainly would not pass for a new canoe now but no real damage. Just lots of superficial scratches.

@scottraines4254 2 года назад

I was wondering the same and/or how long till the letigre needed a new coat of epoxy.

@CanoeTheNorth 2 года назад

Hi Scott. This was the a clipper canoe not our normal souris river canoe in the video. The clipper held up well but I don’t think it’s quite as durable as our souris river. We will see in the years to come how durable it is.

@scottraines4254 2 года назад
