6 dislikes??? What in the world is there to dislike? These guys are awesome, a very inspiring video. Really enjoyed watching their adventure.

[Flyfisherman1962]

Isn't that angled paddle easy to break??

[wagouche]

Great amazing trip and video. Kudos too you guys.

[sjsa1881]

wow yeah good call on the tent, you guys are crazy for cooking in your tent. In the outdoors you have to go without food often. Cooking in our tent is like rubbing honey on your naked body and hugging a bear. Also if you guys accidentally torched your tent you would be screwed. WHat did you guys do before this?

[canadianhockeychick]

Canada Rocks!

[tomvanlars]

Lo maximo, buenisimo this is really good, thanks guys, saludos desde Panamá.

one of my friends - canoed across canada from Vancouver to Quebec in the 70s

they were sponsored by some hot dog company so got free hot dogs along the way and their canoe was painted like a hot dog too.

good for you guys., sounds like a great trip.

[sjsa1881]

@petrfiddle how long did it take because as a Canadian as far as i know it was done last 1st in 1995 in one season but that was Newfoundland to Vancouver

[drtisbeter]

Just watched this vid again, seems even better than before. Thanks.

[darrellz123]

Stuck on Long Point eh?? I surf there in the fall when the south winds are up

[Thralllinian]

I paddled the Fond du lac river this summer. Very wild and beautiful.

[twochordcool]

Congratulations - you guys will cherish those memories of this trip together for as long as you live - heres to MANY more!

[plow76]

Never cook in or near a tent! You're just inviting bears!

Opening track from 'The Motorcycle Diaries' soundtrack

Where can I find a map?

[MrCriticize]

a map shop?

[BeeRich33]

Hilarious. I guess I have to spell it out. A map of the route taken by these two guys. Yes, on this trip. In the canoe. On water.

[ImDrunkOnBaileys]

Hey This is Drew (the taller one in the video) This is the only youtube video I've ever put up and I've since lost my account info. Anyhow I'm posting a much higher res version on vimeo. If you want to see that look for "Brothers Marshall Trans-Canadian Canoe Trip" you can also email me at "drew at psilodesign period commercial".

[hoggerdave]

[deannam1981]

islam can get it in the butt. hard.

[ImDrunkOnBaileys]

love the editing.

[dubnobasswithmahead]

Do you guys come back to check on your videos and comments or not even? Anyways, hoping to solo paddle along Lake Winnipeg (not through it), and wondered if you had any general tips. "Words of wisdom" as they call it..

[cellobelly]

Can anyone identify the opening music ??

Nailed most of the soundtrack to 'Explosions in the Sky' and 'Chocolate Jesus: Tom Waits' but just need help with that opening piece ??

[MrCriticize]

did u ever find out,?

[kayakerwannabe]

you guys are great that is truly a massive feat especially in a canoe it seems like nowadays canoes are no longer used. is there a place where we can learn more about you?

[trinitymike]

"it seems like nowadays canoes are no longer used."

WTF???? They are still the majority of weatercraft on Canadian trips.

[shawnlocke]

@trinitymike

is that the only thing you took away from this vid?

[broecher]

EXCELENT VIDEOS. I can't believe you only have 2K views on part 4, while my mother playing taboo has 18k in less than a year. That just goes to show that it sure doesn't have anything to do with quality. I watch your videos periodically whenever I need inspiration, Thanks!

[turyatka]

@broecher

....me too

[zapblam]

Awsome adventure.......BUT....did you guys have any life jackets at all on the trip, or were they just seat cushions. I understand it was mainly flatwater, but I am a strong supporter of safety first.

[MitsoukoEDP]

You MADE it HAPPEN! Good for you!

I really like the accompanying soundtrack.

[ihateyotube11]

MrCriticize

Most of the songs in the videos are from te band Explosions in the Sky.

[cellobelly]

Great! THANKS - I will seek out their music - any idea which CD(s)?

(BTW - I recognised Tom Waits 'Chocolate Jesus')

[ihateyotube11]

cellobelly

The songs are from just about all of their albums, I reccomend "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place", it's an incredible CD.

Enjoy!

[cellobelly]

ihateyoutube11

Brilliant! 1 further question: -

Can you identify the opening track?

Many Thanks - looking at the thread below quite a few people will appreciate this soundtrack info.

[MrCriticize]

fantastic vids but please please please give us a play list, there some tracks there that remind me of god speed you black emperor, one track sounds a bit like Fela Kuti but i really want to know what that old tarck is around 8 mins in, the one where you start talking all over

[billnwashdc]

The best video on YouTube! I couldn't stop watching till I saw all 5. You guys rock!

[FatElmoCanoo]
