A Backcountry Camping + Flyfishing Film - The Rocky Mountains of Canada [Cutthroat Trout]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
4 Days Camping and Fishing in a CRAZY Unexplored area of the Canadian Rocky Mountains!
We make our way to a 100FT waterfall in hopes of Descending it to fish the unexplored waters below!
This trip was absolutely incredible.
We set off hiking, camping, backpacking and fishing in a completely remote wilderness.
We flyfish for cutthroat trout, and enjoy the nature sounds of the wilderness, camping under the stars. This was a catch and release fishing trip, and all the trout we caught were let go to swim another day.
Backcountry camping in the gorge made for a trip of a lifetime.

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you can live vicariously through this one !!
A truly breathtaking adventure. You need to explore that area for a good 2 weeks. Maybe even try panning for gold.

You are most welcome, and thanks a bunch for taking the time to watch and comment here brother!!
Now that's what people need to see you actually going out there I'm doing a real thing. Not like some people advertised in their backyard or something going out for a good adventure is what we strive for I think the more people do videos like this the more stuff to buy and a more better adventures people will have it's too bad you didn't have some kayaks but the drone was a good idea anytime I go on the river I always got a drone to see what's ahead of me for a mile or so you can never take too much you got to remember the Indians used to live this way every day of their life if they could have done it for thousands of years we surely can do it on the weekend or a week just have to make a plan and when you come back you're going to have the best story of your life and a smile from ear-to-ear thanks guys for the video you need to do more like this even in some canoes or kayaks God bless you and may God bless you with many more videos
Amazing trip DJ, you are a big inspiration to me. Thanks for everything you have done to educate me on knots and survival skills.

@@TheBearEssentials i can relate to that. I remember huling my big ol camera on a big trip to get a sunset shot on a mount. I realized I was trying so hard to catch the moment that I missed the moment. I hope you blow up so your efforts continue to be worthwhile. This was a great video.
That definitely called for a kamikazee knot :P

Josh and I have done some Type2 fun trips to have massive rewards, but this. WOW. That is some Type3 fun shit with a massive reward. Phenomenal video DJ, those trout were absolutely beautiful. I can't even imagine the feeling of getting in there and knowing there's a 99-100% chance NO ONE has been in there. I could go on forever about the different beauties I saw throughout the video, but instead, I'll just say ... thank you for sharing this!!

What are your thoughts about using some type of ascender rope gear thing to get back up the falls? I know nothing about these but just a thought for next time w a similar situation.

I'm sure you felt like you had plenty of lbs already
Probably one of the better videos you have done so far I really liked it. Also since you were measuring the fish was this part of a reaserch trip of sorts for any of the parks or conservation groups? and did you ever eat any of the fish? I dont actually know what the Canadian laws are on that.
@TheBearEssentials
Ай бұрын
Thanks so much for saying so!! No measurement was only for personal reference really. We didn’t eat any of these fish in the canyon. Regs will allow you to, in Canada there are small limits on fish and a season ofcourse, but sometimes in a place like this where the trout are a bit more rare - as the flood sort of hurt the population of them - we decide not to
Upvote for Kajka. Man, the Canadian Rockies are so beautiful.
Why couldn't you tie the ropes together and use the knot that holds while there is weight on it and then you wiggle the rope and it comes down?
@TheBearEssentials
Ай бұрын
It would be extremely risky and I’d only use that knot in a life and death scenario pretty much. Wasn’t worth my life to do that haha.

I love nature! I LOVE to hunt and catch my own food when I can. However, I just can NOT respect doing either for sport.
