kickingfrog Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Haven't watched it for years. I need to dig out some of Bill Mason's books and have a read. He had many talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 That was a very interesting video and sure draws you to the outdoors. Those kids are really skilled canoeists too!! And how about the homemade catamaran??!! Wow Thanks for posting that KF, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavertail Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I remember way back in grade school watching another one of his films...The Rise and Fall of the Great Lakes, brings back fond memories. Since then I’ve watched most of his films, own a few on DVD. Path of the Paddle is good, I also enjoy Waterwalker. Strange, just last week I picked up his biography called ‘Fire in the Bones’ off my bookshelf at home for a re-read. I’ve always had a lot of admiration for the guy.

kickingfrog Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 The other one I remember from school is Paddle to the Sea. Many (all?) of his National Film Board films are available online. The film Waterwalker has a closing scene that is one of my favourites, and with Bruce Cockburn singing over the credits. Haunting.

SirCranksalot Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 The opening scene is my fave in WW. It was taken at the Natch on the Petawawa. We camped there on the way down a few years back---hooked my 1 and only musky in that pool. The boys with us got a big charge out of that---lost it at the shore, which was OK too.

woodenboater Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) Waterwalker has a really good soundtrack (Hugh Marsh and Bruce Cockburn) and shows some great scenery of Lake Superior and its rivers.
