| 0:00.0 | And as much as I love backpacking, you can backpack everywhere, if you think about it, |
| 0:08.3 | if you look at the map, because as water waves reaches to the far corners of the country, |
| 0:12.2 | literally you could go everywhere and anywhere with the canoe. Hey, folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. I'm your host, Mason. Today's actually a throwback Thursday episode. We do this every Thursday. And this one is from |
| 0:39.7 | 2015. We're really throwing it back today. This is all the way to one of our very first episodes. |
| 0:45.6 | We were talking about canoeing in Canada, all throughout Canada with David Lee. I didn't host this one. |
| 0:51.6 | Kurt hosted this. But man, is there anything more quintessential of adventure |
| 0:56.5 | than Canada and canoeing? That sounds like such an incredible time. There's so much water, |
| 1:02.2 | of course, in Canada, so many lakes and rivers. And a canoe just seems like an amazing mode |

| 2:00.6 | Our guest today is David Lee from Ontario, Canada. |
| 2:10.5 | David is a passionate paddler, and his canoeing enthusiasm is contagious, so I'm really excited to visit with him today. |

| 2:26.0 | He's one of the first to head off on canoe trips as the ice melts out and he's usually the last one to pull his canoe out of the water when the lakes are freezing around him. He spends |
