Top Comments of this video!! :3
I don’t have a canoe and I probably can’t even swim (never tried), but I’d like to say how I appreciated this tutorial for many reasons:
- you went straight to the point;
- you told what to do;
- you told how to do it;
- you told why to do it;
- you told what could go wrong;
- you showed how it looks like when it goes wrong;
- the audio and image quality are amazing;
- you even added a clip from above so we could see how you did it;
Truly amazing tutorial!

I really appreciate this video and the different camera angles so we can see how to do it from all sides. My son just got his Eagle Scout rank, and they practice this stuff a lot. Especially during their Northern Tier adventure camp up in Minnesota this past summer. So he and his fellow Scouts know these things, but I feel that us parents need to know this stuff too! Thank you!

The first time my 10 year old son went out on Great Slave Lake's Yellowknife Bay with his canoe class, they wound up rescuing two tourists by rafting two canoes together and then performed a T rescue. The class was awarded a Lt. Governor's life-saving citation.
I learned something new watching this video.
I've practised getting into a canoe by carefully and slowly hoisting myself up on the stern and balancing very carefully as I slither to the center. that always worked for me

I was literally thinking about this the other day cause I wanna buy more outdoorsy stuff but Im also prudent and was thinking about the logistics of getting back in after tipping over. Makes me also realize I should put my future gear under a net in something watertight and also just practice this in general when the time comes. Thanks a lot!

CONSIDERATIONS: 1) This is for Deep water where you cannot swim to shore. 2) I am wearing a life vest and treading water (not standing) 3) Bailing is necessary, if you don’t, too much water will be in the canoe and you’ll instantly capsize when pulling up. 4) Some people find using the BOW or STERN to be better for them. If you have the upper body strength, this is a good technique. If you are not able to pull yourself up like this, the technique I show utilizes legs and balance a bit more. Either way, try both and find which works best for you. Not everyone can do the bow/stern pull up.
