A great film indeed, I saw it last year or the one before, and I've been dreaming of a long trip like that ever since. The longer I do did so far are just over 10 days, and most trips are around 8 days. but a 2 months trip would be great I think!!
Just watched it early this morning, great trip and production, Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks Dave. I liked everything about this video. The names roll off the tongue, The Back, the Thelon, the Coppermine, Barren Grounds, musk ox, Great Slave Lake. The group showed a high level of awareness and mindfulness. They paid homage to the Seventh Nations, early explorers, wildlife, and Ma Nature in general. I liked the quiet accoustic music and excellent use of maps to show the route. I was impressed when they left a lot of their equipment in the village at the close of the trip. Morale was high under tough conditions.
I used to work with the Navajo Nation on Black Mesa. They refer to themselves as "Dine", the people. The closest language group to the current Navajo language is Athabascan. I have met some of them in Alaska up near Fairbanks.

A lot of paddler ending there trips in the hight arctic will leave some of there gear and a lot of the time there canoes to the villagers, since it is really costly to bring canoe back with them. A lot of the time they get back south on regular passenger flight, no room for a canoe and taking the float plane back home would be way to expensive, so it is cheeper to leave your boat and buy a new one when you get back home. I don'T say that is the reason they did it, but it often is!
I would ove to do that trip one day. I think I got my wife interested in the Nahanni overland trip. We have friends that did it a few years back, and that is an other great trip!
Cheers
