I had watched this video several weeks ago, and having been up there, enjoyed it a lot. The scenery and videography is first rate. My comments to a wilderness paddling friend were that these two guys greatly underestimated the difficulties of upriver traveling in Labrador, and they had mostly good weather. The flow in the Naskaupi today is only a fraction of what it would have been in 1905 because most of the water has been diverted into the Churchill Falls hydro project. They turned around before they got to the tough part: there are three gorges on the Naskaupi to portage around with no trails. And high in the drainage when they ran out of water would have been another difficult portage to get up to Smallwood reservoir. Though these guys 'stressed' their period equipment, including the Atkinson Traveler with half-ribs, which Rollin built for them, nowhere did they evaluate this equipment. So watch the video, enjoy and evaluate for yourself. Tom McCoud
