    Welcome to Idaho my friend. Couple words of advice from someone who grew up on Idaho whitewater. Keep that life jacket zipped up and secure. That cold water will suck the strength right out of you if you end up in the drink. Also, it's best to carry a throwable line in order to help rescue anyone who might end up in the water. Glad you guys had fun though.

    • @sgtcoffman
      @sgtcoffman 2 года назад +41

      Yeah, It's all I could think the entire video. They make the zipper for a reason, make sure to use it. Northern waters aren't just dangerous for the rapids and speed, like you said, the cold is brutal.

    As a former rescue team member, we did way more recovery than rescue if swift water was involved. Flipping a sketchy car at the FF is one thing, if you lose a man or capsize on swift water, it starts as brutal and only gets worse. Love and respect brother 👊

While we were there we went to see the jet boat races. All the drivers involved, had helmets, neck collars, wet suits, and serious life jackets that will keep your head above water if knocked out. You guys are very entertaining but just don’t realize how lucky you have been. Luck eventually runs out. Stay safe and be smart.

There was that one moment where he sent it into what was basically a waterfall off the back of a rock which was super sketchy (looked enough to force the bow under and fill the cabin), other than that it looked like the vessel had the bald eagles, one time he mistimed the waves but that wasnt too bad as he kept it straight enough.

    Even though I live out west and get to experience places like this (including this one), it never fails to impress and amaze at just how powerful and beautiful the nature is out here and it's processes are. As well as this vid showcased it, it's impossible to replicate the sense of raw, power you get from the constant roaring of the melt off water rushing by or sensation you feel through the ground from it rushing through a bottleneck, over rapids or over a ledge/waterfall. Definitely, come out and visit them, every experience is as exciting as the first one is!
