Thanks man, the scenery was wild for sure. Glad you liked it. It's fun filming these adventures, not just for others, but I also go back and watch them every ounce in a while. Brings back great memories.

Well the whole video was awesome as per this whole series but it was very touching hearing you talk about your mom at the end of the video. Glad you left that part in there. I’m sure she’s keeping a close eye on you during these trips.

Thanks guys. It was a game time decision to keep that part in. But I think it's an important message. Looking forward to your next video.

The story about caring for your mom is better than the rest of this amazing footage ❤❤❤

It was actually hard for me to watch. I don't have a script for these videos and I basically forgot I had that moment until after when I edited this video. I thought it was an important message to tell. Glad you liked it and thank you for the kind words.

@@Suluk46 you should keep the snippet on your phone in memory of what love truly is. Every man should see this. The story of caring for our parents isn’t told enough. They were there for years by our sides caring for us.

Thanks for sharing the story about your mom. My life has also been greatly affected by cancer. I’m so glad you had the chance to be with your mom in her final days.

Thanks Stephanie. It was a great decision that I will never forget.

Excellent once again. I'm so glad you took the time and effort to record and produce the video/adventure. I know how much work it is... and personally.... I so much appreciate the product. You ROCK!

Thank you kindly sir. It's work to film it, but it also let's me relive the trip, so worth it for me. I'll hit you up next time we head out for a paddle, not sure if it will be this year though. Christmas is coming soon.

Great edit and appreciate the vulnerability at the end. As a non-fulltime adventurer with a family I appreciate hearing a little about others struggles to juggle family and passion.

Thanks man. We all have obligations outside our passions. Family took priority over this trip last year, and always will. Rivers and canyons will always be there :)

Blood is thicker then water buddy. Glad you had a chance to spend quality time with your Mom before she passed. Everything else can wait.

Thank you man. It's time that I will never regret and the best decision of my life.

What a amazing trip so far. That photo shoot in front of the falls was outstanding. Has Niagara Falls beat I think. Such a beautiful story about your Mom. I’m sure she is so proud and riding those wave trains right there with you❤️

Thanks for sharing the story about your mom. I can relate to everything you said. I lost my mom earlier this year to cancer, very similar situation where she only had 2-3 months after being diagnosed. It was a celebration everyday at the hospital with family and friends visiting from around the globe to make her last days as memorable and comfortable as possible.

I'm sorry to hear that. It is tough for everyone, no matter what the circumstance is. I'm happy you were able to make some final memories with her. I will cherish mine.

Phenomenal film my friend! Outstanding quality, you are amazing filmmaker!

Steve, great adventure and a nice tribute to your mom....she was along on your journey. We were the 3 engineers that ran into you in Baffin in 2018 and I am glad to see you are keeping up with your adventures. All the best, Jon, David, Uli.

I am imagining your Mom was looking over you as you and your sister did her! I am so sorry for your loss but it was a beautiful thing to be with her those couple months, having that time to spend with her. She must have been so happy to have you both so close. I thought the trip was going to be the highlight of this episode but it was actually the story about you and your family. Thanks for sharing. :) :)

When you said you were 200km north of the Arctic Circle I was like...is this guy stoned???!!!! Because I read the title as "Arizona Canyons" for some reason. haha....that place is amazing! Really was unaware this place existed.

Lol, the Wizard lives another day! I'm always cautious on these trips, not looking to win any awards :) Temps vary quite a bit. The first couple of days, very warm, probably approaching 20*C, then later got cold, maybe average 10*C to 15*C and around 0*C at night. Water was a different beast all together, pretty much freezing cold, hence my drysuit.
