Alaska Bound 10: Rafting Deep Canyons & Freezing Whitewater
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2024
- We've been whitewater rafting all across North America and it's such a thrill, but we've never had the opportunity to paddle through freezing glacial water surrounded by giant canyon walls. Six Mile Creek near Hope Alaska is one of the most technical rivers we've floated, two class IV canyons and the third canyon is a class V. It's an action packed rafting trip and it's claimed to be the best whitewater in all of Alaska.
We weren't allowed to bring any cameras and we had to get special permission to wear our helmet cam because they've lost so many and this river is protected by the National Forest.
We share a ton more detail on Six Mile Creek, Hope Alaska, Sunrise Alaska and a secret Wild Camping spot on our website: www.gonewiththe...

Coating the lens with rainex will help the water run off better. Looked like you had a great time. To be able to spend time rafting down an exciting river, with your Mom, is priceless. Making Alaska more inviting & exciting with every video you make. Thanks.
What a fantastic time you all had! Thanks for sharing. The best is that your Mom was up for the adventure. You come by it honestly, Jason. As you saw, MY mother's idea of "roughing it" is wearing a tiara to bed instead of a crown. LOL
Love the videos, I lived in alaska for 27 years. I sure do miss it. hoping to buy our first RV next year. looking forward to taking my husband who as never been. thank you guys
hello, just curious if you were able to get an RV and make your way back to Alaska? Thank you.
White water rafting is on our list on one of our RV trips next year for 2016! Thanks for your great work!
That looked like a ton o fun you guys! Floating around in the dry suit must have been pretty cool.
Well this is a lot more exciting than demonstrating how to empty your RV's gray tank. You guys are something else!
Again first class. Please keep it up. You two have the most youthful enthusiasm, clean, bright and talented. If you did a series for the travel channel or something like it, it would be a hit
That looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing.
I've done the American River in California (class 4 rapids) where I'm a native of.....but once again, the Alaska scene appears to be taking things across the board to an entirely new level.
Keep being you...Thx again.
thing is the water is so cold 3 minutes and you are dead...they have to wear full dry suits..its class 4-5 the third canyon has some of the worst..to me the river was at perfect level..it can be more dangerous depending on water levels.. the rapids arent what is dangerous..the water temprature is..its running around 34-36 degrees..

That Was The All-American Pursuit of Happiness at it's Finest.
to have your mum there too makes it even more special... ✨💜🙏
I really enjoyed this. What fun it must have been.
Wishing you well, and looking forward to more great videos.
Thanks for the work that went into the production of this video.
Happy Camping!
Now that was pretty frickin AWESOME.......
Whooooohooooooooo that was so fun! Thanks for taking us along!
Awe MAN .. so fun .. reminds me of our first White Water experience in the Smoky Mountains (TN) .. your mom is the best!
Thanks a ton for the ride Jason!!!!
Wow, that looked like a blast!
That looked like pure fun.
Looks awesome! I used to do a lot of rafting, was a guide for a summer. Now I'm itching to get back on the water.
Fantastic Video! Thanks For Sharing!
That looks like sooooooo much fun !
Great video you two.. Glad you didn't lose Mom!!!
That was fun! Reminds me of inner tubing down the St. Vrain in Colorado. Which wasn’t as exciting at this.
Sweet. Rafting is a blast.
Exciting, thank you for sharing!
Great memories with you Mom, nice.
that looks like sooooo much fun! ur hands weren't covered tho, weren't they cold?
Alright! And Mom ROCKS! What a great B-Day present. C-Ya!,,,Peace!
+GnatMan Allin yea, mom does rock!
When I went on a class 4/5, we lost our guide and 3 other people during one wicked spot. That was scary! I'm not a good swimmer so I'm glad that the rafting gods spared me.
awesome video... loved it...
AWESOME!!!
Thank You!!!
too FUN!!!!!!!!
Your mom looks like she could be your sister! Awesome video.
On second thought maybe you should stick to this venue, if you hook up with a producer or a cable gig you may have to change to there whims. That could be bad, I personally think you two are great on your own. I travel the country, not as much as I used to ( getting older ) and photograph what I see. Have done this for many years been in photo clubs won some awards but you my good man are way beyond what is being done on TV today. Just look at the camping shows, if they used just 15 min. of one of you vids it would perk the interest of many more. Just keep to your style don't let anyone change it. And your cats are freakin awesome. Can't wait until your next post. Thank you
nice job with the video
Thank you for nice videos.
Did you take this video with sony action cam as200v? It seems great camera. I'm wondering if I shoud buy as200v or 4K(fdr-x1000v) What do you think about this?
+大塚亮真 We used a GoPro Hero 3+, I didn't have a mount for my Sony Action Cam. With the built in stabilizer and Zeiss lens of the Action Cam we'd have gotten better footage for sure.

Thanks for replying soon.
I read your HP and found you use as200v.I found you use it in your some footages with action monopod. So I thought you used it in this video too.
we do class 5 on our school trips in New Zealand and they are a lot bigger than that
Happy Birthday 🎂🎁
Awesome
Jason, I am an avid kayaker and run a gopro and a Nikon Coolpix S32 camera. To help eliminate water spots I treat the lens with Rain-X. It doesn't totally eliminate spots but it helps a lot. Check out youtube kayaking buzzards bay area to see my vids
Hi! How do you get special permissions?
The water level is low, thus the low rapids. Head out in high water, and you'll have a totally different experience - one that you'd likely not want to repeat.
lol..they dont even run sixmile when it gets to 11 ft..this id say was around 9-9.5..10-10.5 is perfect..
sixmile is not to bad..lol they allow cameras..wtf..nova? lames..
i fish at the hole called banjo hole..its the after second canyon the pull out for those who dont wanna run the third canyon
we do class 5 on our school trips in New Zealand and they are a lot bigger than that
so are these when the water is 2 ft higher..
also this is on video..not in real life. nothing looks as big on video..
