  • Join us on this adventure on a 140 mile trip as we float the Fortymile River from Alaska to Canada and continue down the Yukon River all the way back to Eagle, Alaska! We have the best time fishing, hitting the rapids, paddling, and just goofing off. This will be a trip to remember and we'd love for everyone to share in our fun!

      Because we were 100 percent away from civilization we spent time thinking about what we would need out there and what we could carry. We also brought our inreach that we could use to send an emergency SOS that would send our GPS location if we had an accident. It was a strange feeling being so self reliant, but also very freeing ❤️

We only ran in to two people on the river and both were miners, but funny enough on the first day we were stopped on the road driving to Eagle to drop off our trailer by a cast member from Life Below Zero to ask us for some help with their trailer. Such a big, small world here in Alaska 😂
