  • If you spend enough time in a canoe playing hard, you are going to go for a swim. It is just a matter of time. Not all trips go smoothly as planned. Thankfully no one was hurt, seriously injured or worse.
    WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET, It could save your life.

    Holy cow man - SO glad you're okay - sucks to lose the boat, but hands down the most important thing is to get off the water able to walk. Also - SO DARN BRAVE of you to post a video like this - it's inspiring that you post the good and the not-so-good - we all can learn from this...

    Glad you were wearing your PFD,bummer about the Hemlock but you can always replace a boat. Your able to paddle again another day,always a good idea having a couple of buddies along as well.

    Glad to know you are OK.
    I never put my legs under the seat for this specific reason - always worried about getting hung up.
    A friend of a friend is a Ranger. The Ranger said in 40 years I never pulled a dead guy from the water wearing a life jacket! That phrase speaks volumes to me!
    As far as the SRT. Would you buy another? What do you think of it compared to the other fabulous boats you have?
    If you do this trip again, would you recommend air bags?
    At 56 and being alone most of the time I keep thinking I need bags and have been tethering my gear to the boat just in case.

      I as well always wear my PFD. As for replacing the SRT most likely not. I have bad knees and kneeling only boats are getting tougher for me to paddle, plus I have a Dragonfly. To be honest I do not know what if anything I'll replace the SRT with. As for air bags to be honest I'm not sure. None of these rapids exceed class 2 on this section of river.

    I'm glad you and everyone else is ok. bummer about that beautiful boat. I always wear my PFD, NRS Chinook ! I have a hornbeck NT 14. it doesn't like the rivers too much, it tracks so straight - has no or little rocker, so it does not like to turn very quickly. I was thinking about an Esquif pocket canyon for the rivers. it a heavier boat, but could take a lot more of a beating and turns much easier. love your videos and Justin's as well.

    • @mrgjoe
      @mrgjoe  20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I also have a NT 14 which is a great boat... A Pocket Canyon is definitely a really nice river boat.

    I'm glad you're good, man. I know it's heartbreaking experiencing that loss firsthand. But you're here, and I seriously hope you are able to shake it off and get back on the horse. Hopefully, we can all meet up for a trip someday. My incidents really shook my confidence but it's starting to come back. I hope the same happens to you.

    Hey, question. I have a bad lower back. Is a sit in kayak or a canoe better? No hauling.

      You would definitely get some back support. In my opinion Swift Canoe has the most comfortable pack canoe and kayak seats on the market.
