    You guys are so skilled. I’m a long time water lover. I rafted on a class 4 (North Fork of the Yuba River) and did great. A few people did not and quit. It was a guided tour. A year later, I was on a class 3 with my young son. It was also guided but this was on the Kern River. The class 3 is where I came the closest to losing my life. Our raft went over a rock ledge sideways and it dumped everyone out. I was caught in the “washing machine.” I tried to kick when I saw light, but it was too deep. What saved me was giving up. It relaxed my body enough that I was thrown out and started on down the river. My lungs were full of water. The guide pulled me out. I swear I was calling “help” but they said nothing came out. After I recovered, I knew that was my final water adventure. I now do other things. I learned to respect nature and all she offered, even though I was almost caught. For a while, I could not hear the sound of a rapid without reacting. I am back to normal. Know you give me (and others) the fix I need for observing nature in places very few have seen. Thank you for that!

    Great video. Brings back memories. A friend and I paddled it 50 years ago. There was very little sign of previous paddlers, though I knew 2 guys from my hometown that had done it. We hunted for portages, but a lot of it was bushwhacking. We attempted it 1 year in May but the water was dangerously high and we wisely backed out. We went back the following August. We waded a lot of the boney rapids. The only fish we caught were Northerns in a wide stretch of the river.

    It's such a pleasure to see this adventure unfold in this area that I can remember having some of the best times of my life! I have fished Dog River many times while staying at my good friends camp on Paint Lake Road, not too far from the Halfway Lodge. I have friends that have camps on Paint Lake Road and on Kabenung lake, and Dog River Road is one of my favourite rock hounding spots , I routinely sniff around the gold mine area and have found many a nice specimen around Iron Lake (not gold). It's a shame that the Hydro boys got in there and shut a huge part of it down after setting up the new towers. I used to be able to get all the way to the river in my truck on Dog River Road, but now you need a Quad to get back there and they took all of the bridges that spanned the creeks etc out.😥 Great moose and bird hunting area also, but you just have to work a bit harder now. Thanks again for another great and inspiring video JB! I never imagined that I would see this place being enjoyed or even mentioned any where on the internet. Nobody ever goes there, which is the draw for me and adds to its beauty.

    Jim! Amazing video and trip as always. You guys are the real deal. Let me guide you and this crew down the Juruena River in Brasil. I can provide proof I spent a month paddling it with NOLS in 2011. Stunningly beautiful with incredible biodiversity and landforms. Up to class 6 endless whitewater, with incredible complexity and diversity along a relatively short run. Due to the geology of its watershed the water is crystal clear, allowing aquatic life to be seen with the naked eye in 30 feet of water. The footage you could get there would make Nat Geo jealous, and do a service to documenting the area's grandeur to a wider audience. I'm not a bot, dead serious, can provide proofs of experience and credentials, and would do it for absolutely free.
