well kyle what's up buddy what are you thinking well i'm thinking there's blue that way there's more gray this is going to rain regardless no matter what because i'm camping with you so it has to be a rainy i've never been on a train before at all have you negative it's not like a.
Passenger no not like this never been on a passenger train so we're gonna take a train with our canoe into the middle of the wilderness there's another group of guys that are going but they're not getting off at the same spot we are um we're gonna do six nights on a whitewater river which both of us have not done either we got a.
Big ol heavy boat and uh we're not planning on poor touching too much so we got decent amount of gear very exciting we're gonna like i said take the train in and then we'll be picked up by a plane uh seven days later the belle alaskan.
it's very heavy yeah oh there's the flight wing excited let's do it man.
Lunchtime we're starving it's just now 12 30. hey joe your wet meat's not too bad it's not bad eh montreal smoked meat those those uh frenchies know what they're doing sometimes all right so we just got dropped off train left us we're all by ourselves.
Sitting next to the um the train tracks there's a little outpost camp here but we're going to hop on the river pretty soon and paddle who knows it's already almost 1 12 37 so even if we only get 10 kilometers or so we have a two class two rapid right off the hop so.
We're gonna hop in the boat practice our this is the first time either of us have been in a tandem boat in a while and we've never done a whitewater trip before yep so it's a lot of firsts and this is a big heavy duty boat so we got to get in and figure out our canoe strokes and everything first and then.
Break down the rapid nothing like jumping both feet in here we go here we first time using a freaking barrel too on this trip yeah that might end up being pretty nice all right you ready let's do it buddy we can go come on send it full center no.
Sense that's what i heard here's the famous allen water bridge right where we got dropped off we're gonna go paddle underneath it and into the wind we practice in our strokes a little bit our paddle strokes a little bit here and uh.
Feel somewhat confident somewhat apprehensive yep but we'll see how she goes oh nothing like starting to trip off on uh super windy no we're paddling the headwind here thinking uh kyle and i both had envisioned paddling a river or.
Getting pushed downstream you know just kind of steering every now and then but uh yeah we're having to work for it so yeah never been here we don't know what it's like what's that give it to her give it to her you're right i'm feeling mildly apprehensive yet very excited all at the same time yeah i feel that man so.
We hear uh the first set of rapids coming up right around the bend here so we've got everything strapped in we're gonna switch out to our white water paddles and uh give her a go trees are moving we've uh we've been practicing our.
Draw strokes and our crossbow draws and getting pretty loud yeah they are getting pretty loud so oh cross your fingers for us folks oh she's a touch windy buys all right we're gonna go scout this one first this gorgeous oh yeah that works great.
Why is this oh god i have another one nope i don't like to be free i want to use the sawyer oh he's yelling he's yelling already he's angry there's the rapids but look at this score kyle's gonna be very happy he said he wanted to eat a bunch of wild.
Blueberries up here so that's uh a good score just right off the hop our first little pullover kyle i turned right um lovely okay this looks straight forward we'll come in right down the tongue maybe try to get right to this a bit all right we came down to the end here.
Just to scope it a little bit more looks pretty straightforward though yeah in between those rocks see that rock at the end we're almost in front of it we have to go right we have to go right okay okay okay yeah you keep keeping on because i can't see now.
Nice good job man all right here we go all right is there a rock right in front of us though oh this is oh this is nothing kyle nothing.
We should have actually maybe we'll get braver as we go okay if something changes on the way just let me know yeah i got it so we're going right down this tongue we're gonna go right down this fork and.
Kind of march that way i think we can actually start off yeah okay okay but what's next no that rock there's next to that rock on the left dude see it on the right yeah and see the left too though look look at everything look at far river.
Left instead everything looks fine okay well we ran a third rapid there but it was pretty tame we're uh we got the wind at our back now and we're gonna decided to make camp early today so i think in less than an hour we'll be at camp we have three more uh rapids to run or portage regardless i.
Was soon run we're going to try not to portage anything we don't need to that's the plan but also still going to our pretty good families down the river here making really good progress down the river we've been uh three graphics at.
This point no dunks we're good getting better at commands left right kind of stuff we've got three more easy kind of quick rapids to go through and then we're at uh decent-sized lakes nice little rafter that pours into it set up a little early on the first day i haven't even thrown our.
Haven't even got our lines wet yet we've just been excited about paddling and really understanding the rapids and stuff so once we get to camp there's plenty of opportunity to fish we'll be near a set of a couple sets of rapids.
And uh bruce has marked on the map that it's a good campsite so that's always nice easy breezy yeah even right would have been fine get out yeah yeah you made it you're here.
We're at camp i already got the gear explosions going on kyle's off to find the little boys room aka the ground and i'm going to get some water i got a new little setup for this trip still using the b3 but i found.
One of these bags that fit the same threads and width as the uh as the b3 check it out it's two liters and i can use it like a gravity filter so if i just do one of those i could squeeze it as well speed it up.
But i have this and my other one so i'll have two i brought my tumbler this time daddysaurus like a normal daddy but more awesome you know so thanks kids for that and we'll be doing tea in this and i brought some uh water additives and.
Stuff so so excuse me this will be using instead of an algae on this trip the beauty about this is like if the ground was a little bit more level or if i put in a better spot i could just leave it and let it fill and come back for it but no big deal two liters in there.
My other one is only like a liter or a half a liter and i can never fill it up so this will be a good camping water filter and kyle can use it too i'll let them there we go some fresh ash water got a lot of big trees here some are.
Dead already have to be careful where we put our shelters i feel like camping on my hammock today i have my hammock and my tent my tent so i'll hammock it up kyle's just making a spot for him to camp over there right here would be perfect has the door face to the ocean or the ocean yeah the.
Ocean over there yep it makes the uh sight much nicer yeah it's like the flattest spot going now right right does it matter oh you can take whatever one you want i would take the paddling one.
Yeah oh yeah i didn't realize we had this many paddles we have four paddles two each oh this is your white water yeah oh okay i'm just saying i would take the freaking light one there yeah yeah pick it up and put it down oh okay i'm a little slow okay i'm american give me a break i forgive you i was.
Looking for a plastic paddle i thought your other one was there you go oh there's that big-ass dragon flag that same one that one dragonfly here there's only one in this entire here well if you couldn't guess we're gonna go on a little paddle and see if we can uh catch a couple fish maybe have a fish.
For supper i wouldn't be opposed to that i would like that yeah i would like that very much all right cool i'm gonna get in the boat now okay we got ourselves a decent sized pike for dinner that was the first cast kyle and i had a double header on too quick to even grab the camera for me but i think kyle's got some footage of it.
But um yeah man just up for some more fishing keep this guy for dinner if we catch a walleye or something keep it too but i don't think we need two big pike like this oh it's a massive one that's a good freaking tip bend there yeah what do you think it is i don't.
Know the walleye fought more in the pike last time for sure he's putting up a good fight he comes that's why nice man i'll wear them out yeah what is it is it a wallet yeah 100 it's big oh dude that's even bigger than your.
Last one get that in the boat man holy crap yeah that's a good oh that's a good size one all right you want to test out the gloves now oh yeah that's exactly what i want to do lips the walla i think so keep him in the pike we'll.
Have a nice big fat fish meal okay cool nice man instead of paddling down to the falls or the rapids we just decided to come back it's 5 20. we're right in front of camp anyway so we're gonna make a fire get big bunch of wood make a fire clean these up by the time we just make six or six thirty we can always go down after.
Supper if we feel like it it's gonna be light to like 11 almost so uh that's the plan firewood duty man it feels like it's going to rain now weather's been all over the map today what oh he's talking to camera bye i can relay these things over.
You know maybe we can cook our fishies we cut and then have supper before the rain how you gonna light it just with a lighter you know with the twigs it's so dry here it's my favorite thing to do why are you not using a firesteel well because it doesn't it's not important to.
Use one you have a lighter quite a bit easier no certainly not i don't know if you know but like i took the bushcraft part off my name on my for like maybe like 15 years ago 15 years yeah it's 15. it's just joel robinette you can do whatever you want you could go outside you could play a video game.
You could fire really quick first i should have brought a fire starter all right that's the pike and the walleye cut up you can tell the color difference there the pike is more yellowy just a little bit of dirt.
Debris there's a little rincey poo you know the old alaskan yeah that's uh getting us here what do you think it's a healthy portion of food it's good for us i'm excited i got a new pan for this trip a little bit bigger it's shallower.
But it doesn't really matter like you don't need it to be super deep anyway so try it out be able to probably fit all that on there yeah i got lots of seasonings if you need more salt and pepper anything yeah spring some salt please give me some salt okay.
Let me inside okay looking good looking good it's all cooked up let's try a bait hey yeah is it yep i like when it's a little black and crunchy.
It needs a little bit more salt but it's good well there we didn't put any salt on it yet that would be white i'd be whiting this up yep that's awesome some saltines yeah that's what it's called.
Outdoor flavors hey cheers mate excuse me good stuff perfect a little bit perfect oh yeah i love it the crunchy bits are good the salt is what is needed to make it extra good right the limo this is good too mom.
Well what a great day today have a fun day very fun day yeah we only paddled for two hours yup got some good distance we scoped out a couple rappers we ran three without i think maybe two um got our legs under us a bit so i'm.
Feeling pretty confident about tomorrow it's uh watch more rapids tomorrow pretty quick we'll have to look at the map and see we're gonna do we gotta do some research tonight yeah let's do that cool a great day perfect catch more walleye.
Yep yeah i don't need to get any more pike i don't need to clean any more pike walleye is good oh supper was super good we're going to uh paddle down to the rapids see if we can't pull up a couple fishies.
I'm a nice little nighttime paddle it's uh it's after seven quarter after seven the wind has completely died down we are both very content both very happy with the way excuse me the way that the day went good times it's been like a year since we've seen.
Each other too so let's do it's just gorgeous out right now perfect weather no bugs no wind no fish though too not yet i'm sure we'll slam them at the at the rapids copied.
Yeah i took a cast here and got a chunker i don't know what it is yet but oh just lost it cool really yeah all right hooked into one oh it's a decent walleye nice you're going on yeah i got my first walleye of the trip nice dude yeah right through the top lip.
Pretty uh pretty fishy you see pretty small compared to my wall oh of course i'm happy with that yeah that's not bad either it'll do i do let me zoom in a little bit dude looking good i like it i like his fin up like that yeah it looks sweet good job.
Nice first walleye we'll fish on for a coyola yeah maybe you let go i don't know they're very small fish what am i drinking i dragged him out of the water you are this is not fish this is fish little baby you got a little tiny one.
It's not even it's a decent size dude yeah that's not bad there's nothing wrong with that no that's annoying i'm basically a monster hunter at this point right no that's a good walleye man that's not a bad sign dude they love that red devil look at his mouth yeah.
Wow what while i'm freaking kyle over here i'm doing pretty good at the walleye this trip all right yeah don't pull a joe don't pull it full of joe i have not i have not yet to pull joe.
Yeah right before this trip is in yeah man it's not bad nice well just hooked into another walleye looking pretty good it's a nice fish dude it is this is the biggest gull i have ever seen in my life that he would take out an eagle.
Seagull versus eagle yeah right oh you don't have to leave bro come eat the fish morsels come back bro big boy not gone boy finally the flamage oh.
I said there's some flamage around here how you uh how do you like her fishing expedition 8 plus so far absolutely a plus the boys are backing down there's kyle for you just getting nicer as it goes purples blues look at this.
Complete mirror reflection this is so awesome this is such a good day such a good start to the trip every day is like this man this is gonna be a hard trip to beat i'll uh unstick it for you oh big boy big.
Get there joe oh it's just he missed their pike he's fine it's okay spike the spike you know yeah he's just a little guy this is a i'm a pipe trip for joe i think yeah you're really nailing the bike yeah not really uh on purpose but uh it's happening yeah.
