See Wood Canvas Canoe on wild river in the Path of the Paddle Solo Whitewater Film Canoe Guy BC - The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) website is a treasure trove of beautiful short films. Among my personal list of favourites is the Path of the Paddle series by Bill Mason. Of the four films in the series, Path of the Paddle Solo Whitewater (1977) is the one I tend to watch over and over again. Not only is the photography outstanding, I get a thrill every time I see a wood-canvas canoe being jockeyed through 3′ (one meter) standing waves in a wild river.

Hood H2O - After our wood-choked 3rd trip down the NF of Deep on February 19th, I was feeling a little "Crusered" because of the many portages. Rod Kilner and I had done this run a couple of years ago (Jacob and I had first run it 8-9 years ago) and it was pretty clean, but now the first half is kind of a disaster. After about 2 miles, we gave serious thought to hiking out as we were concerned about light, but stuck with it and were rewarded with a much cleaner second half and a euphoric trip through the unique and fun Peashooter Gorge.
