  This was a trip to remember, my friend. The biggest takeaway was how versatile chocolate almonds are. You bow to no one!

  Just finished. Noah is the dream travel buddy. Cool, calm collected, and experienced. I wasn&apos;t aware of him before this video, but the way he kept you from losing it in destress and that little smile when things were getting near impossible. Dudes got ridiculous good dad energy

  Jon, I continue to be blown away by your emotional intelligence. You’re beloved boat is pinned and you are calm, and grateful, and will not quit. There is not a fiber of your being that cares about conquest or dominance, just gratitude and grit. Thank you for modeling your best in the worst of times.

  The fact that canoe still floats after that is amazing, you should sell that footage to the company it would make a great ad for them.

  I watched Noah and yours back to back. I&apos;m not usually a portage fan, but the teamwork and camaraderie made it a joy. You two work well together. Noah&apos;s geology notes and your birdcalls add color. I was offering all kinds of advice from the couch as you worked on the canoe. We all have heard of pins, but seeing one happen to someone we know much more capable than us, makes it a reality, and a damn scary one. Imagine if you had been alone. The fact that you kept on filming as the day unfolded is a testimony to your professionalism and honesty. You&apos;re pretty hard on yourself. If these adventures were without danger, or high consequence &nbsp;judgement calls, they wouldn&apos;t be as compelling. Sorry about your Gpa.

  So glad you were there with Noah; he&apos;s a good man. Lessons were learned, that&apos;s how life works. Thanks for sharing the adventure, the &quot;good&quot; and the &quot;bad&quot;, as you always do. May you and your family find Peace with your grandfather&apos;s passing.

  And I am glad that I started to support Canadian content creators last year! Beautiful country and magnificent content creators!<br><br>I just searched online on how to support Canada, this was one of the suggestions:<br><br>“Cultural EngagementConsume Canadian Media: Listen to Canadian artists, read Canadian publications, and watch Canadian films or digital media to show appreciation for their culture.”<br><br>I have watched every video from your channel and Noah’s as well and was so glad to see you two put out dual videos! Thank you!

  Wow. Jon.This was the most emotional trip of yours for me, and I have been watching you for 2 1/2 years. Did some unforgettable trips myself, in BWCA . The one where we buried the pickup truck in 2 feet of mud…. and decided to paddle and portage ahead anyway, comes to mind as most memorable trip….. lots of trials…. followed by learning and beauty and gratitude. I felt this one with you. Had to remind myself that you filmed this while under huge duress. I am awed and grateful for your generosity. Always safe paddles ahead!❤️
