I saw this rafting documentary going around on Facebook and thought I would share it here too...

I'm glad we don't have to make our own boats but Crash and I would like to try the endo seal launch shown near the 38 minute mark.

There is a book "Brothers on the Bashkau" about some Americans who hook up with some Russians and run some serious gnar. Made their own boats and gear, used saplings as frames, paddles as cookware, etc. Awesome read if you can find it.

We should make that double donut raft. I know four people that would paddle it.

I can't get it to load (at work), but that's probably the old Nat Geo documentary from the 90s. I remember watching that when I was a wee newbie paddler - hard core stuff when you get to the river and then construct your boat and paddles!

I wanna go!
