  • Blake and Danny with the help of a very knowledgeable friend of a friend float, jump, slip and rappel down Eagle Creek canyon in Oregon. The group has to tolerate the cold and Danny's fear of any body of water not contained within a pool and kept at 85 degrees. At least there's nowhere more beautiful to face your fears.

    Watching all of your videos one by one... What I love is the raw nature of your content and the fact that not every adventure is this amazing feat of exploration.. some trips rock, some suck, some are hard, some are easy... most are beautiful and ultimately that's just the nature of nature! Thanks for all the content you continue to create! - Happy Exploring - Mack from Canada!

    This whole being sucked under by the current thing is really making me remember a time, in college. We wanted to go white water rafting, but they were all out of rafts, so we went with the conoes. We were up at warm river, masa falls area in Idaho. Well I ended up being the only person who was capable of climbing up and out to call 911. We had a friend who was seriously injured and had lost a lot of blood, and one missing friend. Everyone survived in the end. But that fast moving water is no joke!

      @@1Deejay7 - The trail, the forest, and the entire Columbia Gorge needs to be protected from further erosion caused by visitors. Closing it will give the Gorge time to heal without the damage caused by human impact. It will take a 100 years to get it back to the glory and majesty that it was. but it will take being left alone.

      @@moonriseproductions Wrong answer. It means you do not break the law and ignore the "closed trail" signs. If you love the environment and want to see it restored to its prior glory, we all need to go somewhere else and not destroy it even more. If you want to go rock climbing, go where there are are rocks on the ground to walk on so there is little erosion.

    How long was the rope compared to that last rappel? If you go down on a single strand (with a block) setting it to be the exact length, and keep the rest in the top of a bag it can help a lot to avoid extra length in the water, which is more likely to get stuck. Someone can swim over to the closest shore with the bag to be ready to pull. Also by setting it to be the exact length, much easier to get off just rappel off the end :) no faffing about with rappel device while swimming in the moving water.
