This is episode 14 of his 11 day Arctic Watershed solo trip in Canada. Just thought I'd post it as this is a whitewater episode. Really top notch photography as he uses a drone too.
This series is amazing in that the first half was just a horrendous bushwack that's hard to believe and now it's crazy white water in a canoe solo. I suggest starting from the beginning of the trip but this ep. will give you a taste.

I kinda wish I developed whitewater skills at a young age. I don’t have the nerve for that now. Especially solo so far from help where he was.

Why do I click on this stuff to start my day?!! Now all I want to do is be outside. Ugh. Interesting that he had a 2x4 for a thwart...presumably for added strength. No yoke pads either. Wonder what Pigeon River Dave would have to say about these rapids...he likes that kinda stuff...

I never noticed that before. Looks like he has the traditional Nova Craft Yoke with pad.

I've seen him portage without a pad too in earlier trips. Canadians are rugged individuals. He's a bear of a man at 6 feet 5. I'm really hoping he hooks up with Justin Barbour for a trip. He's just as insane (in a good way). :)

During my original viewing of the video, I thought Jim had wrapped an extra PFD around the yoke. Guess not...thanks for the eye for detail.
