Wilderness Canoeing: Paddling the Bloodvein River

Float planes, canoes, wilderness, forest fire, the Aurora Borealis, low water. Plus photos and film from previous trips on the Bloodvein to show differing water levels. A canoe expedition over 13 days of travel covering 230km

I was working with Paul Kirtley from https://frontierbushcraft.com Paul is continuing to lead trips in Canada's Boreal Forest. My guiding out there, at the age of 70, has come to a close (well after the 2023 Porcupine trip).

The guidebook is: Wilderness Rivers of Manitoba by Hap Wilson and Stephanie Ackroyd. Hap gave me kind permission to reproduce small parts of the guide in the video. Thank you. The guide is available direct from https://www.HapWilson.com

The canoes used on the 2018 trip were from Northstar Canoes and is their B17 in IPX. Available in UK from: https://www.marsport.co.uk
