Lose the music

Nice roll!

I did this run many years ago in a whitewater canoe. Wow, Velvet Falls looks nothing at all like I remember it... I guess this is geology in action (reacting to these fires and subsiquent erosion/deposition). When we did it, it was low water in August and there was a fire burning while we were on the river.

What a great video. Thanks Brian. My homeboys doing some homework! I love it Hope to see ya soon.

Joe Anthony!!! lol! Love it!

Lol big R3 and R2 is a hidden gem amongst adrenaline folks. Everyone is focused on big wave surfing, but those guys don't paddle into a wave they know for sure is going to eat them. Lol this wave was taking your lunch and you all knew it. Epic.

Awesome! Is this an MRS?

A bit bony for my tastes but any river time is time well spent.

Dialed

My oh my . Ya make me think ..

SEEMORE!

Qualitu rafting with quality music.

such a great video to watch. I've done the Middle Fork (put in below Dagger) in a WW canoe at very low water and this is a whole different river. We probably all would have died within 5 minutes at this level... maybe 6?

The sound of the whitewater would be a much better soundtrack.

Do you have a link to the raft brand?

Those debris fans are something else.

Between the bark beetle kill and fires, Idaho forests looks like total dog 💩

😂

Thanks for the video. It nice to got an idea of what we're in for. We are putting on in a couple days with similar flow to when you filmed it.

Climate change doing it's thing. A whole different river. I'm sure the salmonids are suffering from all the fine sediment

Window shaded in a raft.

Why are you dummies putting this on TH-cam. Just keep it to yourself for once people.

That rocked! You rocked! Bitch on wheels! Spin cycle in the hydraulic washing machine. Yes he got that and WE GOT THAT.. What was that, a Class VIII? Great runs before that too. Love the D Rings on the back of the PFDs. Industrial. Liked the "right 8" with the homemade paddle too. Stay safe out there and keep that mini SCUBA tank handy.

❤❤ very very beautiful place Jehovah God is love❤❤ how wonderful and relaxing thanks so much for this lovely video❤❤

Lot of firewood for camp, to bad you can't float to camp..

Thanks for sharing! I'll be running this for the first time ever in August of 2024.

Thanks for showing me around. My first time down the Middle Fork was 50 years ago this summer.

Thankyou!!

Just amazing footage

awesome. i just got my outfitter I from nrs and have had the force for a few yrs but found i swim a lot so i’m trying the bigger tubes. question- how are u rigging the ik camera (pvc I’m assuming) and what stabilization setting are u using? your footage looks more realistic than what i see when im stabilizing. thnx appreciate your posts!

Me and a bunch of guys did the Middle Fork back in the 80s ,Twice ....The best river trips I ever went on ...

Great beta! Definitely captures the character change. Anticipate another change once the river rises due to 2024 runoff.

Thank you for another great video Brian!

You guys must be living right. That looks like awesome weather for October.

Maybe not enough snow this year for any big run off, but it could rain 11 inches

Strainerville.

You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

Look at the loss of habitat due to fire. You want to know where your deer and elk are??? They are not. You lose animals when you lose habitat.

The blowouts have completely changed the river. Glad I did it a bunch when it was still the middle fork. You think you’ve “saved” an area, but there’s no getting away from what’s happening to the planet.

It's going to be a good season for the air taxis on the Middle Fork in 2024 with all the outfitters not being able to run from the top!

Dang!! Sulphur Slide was SPICY in the oar rig! Textbook use of the back ferry all the way down. Dude in the small oar rig making it look easy. Kudos!

That guy in the oar rig has some impressive skills

Nice day for a swim!

Awesome footage, thanks for sharing.

Brian, thank you for your efforts in recording this and others of the amazing reformations of the top of the middle fork! I ended up doing a self shuttle solo trip down from the top, launching September 25th 2023. I will be up the relive that trip of my life by viewing this video. Thank you, thank you! I also did a 4 day 0 Portage with 1 swim in Kramer. Also, a big shoutout to Outfitters: Far & Away and Helfritch, for buck sawing out the logs.

nice job. We will see what winter does to the logs

I'm glad you know how to float down a river because you rafters don't know how to drive on dirt roads.

Great video. Awesome to see that the upper section is passable!
