Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. We have many hours of video, we basically filmed everything except the first 2 or 3 portages.

As for the weather, we really did win the weather lottery. We didn't even use bug repellent, we wore t-shirts during the day, maybe a fleece or rain gear in the morning before our coffee and that was it. Even when it 'rained' it was light, no rain gear was needed, and we got to see a huge rainbow in kahshahpiwi.

If you "uncondensed" any more of that video, let me know . . . :)

Heck of a job on the video. Did you have a camera mounted to the bow for a lot of those shots?

I also liked the time lapse of the sunset/sunrise.

Sweet! We did the reverse of yours, from Nym to King Point, the first year Canoe Canada offered it, but via Cutty Creek from Sturgeon to Kashahpiwi. Thanks for sharing.

Yup, we had a camera recording constantly from the bow, and someone carried it by hand during portaging.
