Disconnected From Everything on the Idaho River

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

Where's YOUR favorite place to disconnect?

[@renegade7493]

wish i did. i work 75hrs aweek to take care of my family. and no boss like you Evan. God Bless.

[@AshlandDancer]

Deschutes OR for white water rafting

[@seanbenoit2814]

The white mountains

[@keith.thetacticalbutthurt2324]

Xbox bf3 or bf4 a few hours a week it works for me also I'm 58 so that is the extent of my electronic's

[@rustzz8]

I love this trip! I went multiple times with Neal growing up.

[@jpayers9334]

Wish more companies cared about their people like y’all do

[@joenagy9974]

God bless BRCC & God bless the USA !!!! MERICA !!!

[@Americanstruggle]

Such an amazing come up story for a bunch of people who made a living defending this country. But what's truly amazing is the recovery and peace you've all found. Not only in yourselves, but how you support other veterans, law enforcement, and other first responders. Bless you all, may you have continued success in all aspects of life. Fyi....your coffee is badass and my son lives off your rounds in his Koureg while attending college. He plays division 2 football, (center) and is taking his pre veterinary school courses. GO GREYHOUNDS!!!

[@fudozanokamae2579]

About to wrap up restoring a 1950s aluminum canoe to get back on the lakes and rivers, can’t wait!!

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

That’s awesome man!

[@jennifersignsoflife1375]

SO COOL! Where you headed 1st? If you have a few a minutes & want to see a super-awesome one, you could check out my big-bro's on his Facebook: Search "Bill Willey, Los Amigos High School". He's pictured with his Maine teen camp kids...AND his dogs~ Scroll to the bottom of his page & it's in the first group of pics he posted (don't worry, he never used it much, so there aren't a lot of photos). It's mounted on top of his VW Bus Camper with his Doggos below (my nieces~ he never had any kids). He was a Level IV Ski Instructor, Search & Rescue EMT & Guide, Rock Climber, Park Ranger (when they were *DESPERATE & BEGGED HIM for HELP, lol),* White Water Raft Guide, Occasional Bar Tender & Chef, Temporary/ Substitute Water Polo & Swim Coach for the High School he STILL HOLDS RECORDS AT & where his niece (my daughter) played on the Boys' Team, bc there was NO Girls' Team (& she wanted to play bc "Uncle Bill played") and the BEST UNCLE to our four kids & BIG BROTHER in the WORLD~ That canoe has been ALL OVER the US: the High Sierras, throughout Utah/ Colorado/ Arizona/ New Mexico/ Nevada (Including the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River, Bryce & Zion Nat'l Parks), the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Tetons, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Poconos, the Upper Peninsula of Mich., and all throughout Maine. His primary "base" was usually somewhere in the High Sierras during the summer, so we'd schedule our 4 -week vacation around him & when ppl asked what we were "doing for vacation THIS year", our answer never changed: *"UNCLE BILL!"* Wilderness, "Yellow-post" camping is allowed anywhere in Nat'l Parks, without a permit & no fees. When fire danger is "High", obviously, campfires are banned, and when it's "Extremely High" some additional roads are even closed due to the risk of sparks from exhaust pipes, or ppl just being careless (you're no doubt aware of all this; however, very few other folks know that our parks are open to us like this). It is JUST * BREATHTAKING* to live out there for a month, unplugged, so far away from other ppl... HAPPY TRAILS!

[@heimdalshorn]

Great trip, great company! Being the CEO of my own company for 14 years and back in the days a soldier in the Bundeswehr´s 1. Airborn-Division I want to send my compliments and salutations from Germany

[@2Quietus]

That last 4-5 minutes where Evan was talking about looking at every angle for possible attack while being in serene beauty. That hit home. My release valve was visiting Yellowstone and had a very similar effect as he describes. I'll always love that place for that alone, never mind the astounding and breathtaking scenery. It snapped me out of it. Almost indescribable.

[@obviousgreyman]

That’s so awesome man I hope you get to make it down there often what an incredible place.

[@ronthompson2366]

Fantastic, just watching was almost as real. I am a Veteran, retired Marine. What I see when I see this, or anything else that comes from your company. Is what anyone, everyone who has ever served, remembers... the community of those who share a common theme. It exemplifies why your brand and company is so successful. Thanks for taking me along on just a glimpse of the journey. Semper Fi.

[@abedanielspictures]

Evan looks, sounds and acts so much like my buddy Wayne. Wayne was 82nd Airborne for 13 years. Same look in their eyes. Much respect gentlemen and ladies!

[@zakhill2186]

Im glad there are people that appreciate my home state for what it is. Keep up the good work guys love what you do.

[@Brettnyspears]

I was gonna say the same thing

[@adriananderson1258]

I really miss that part of Idaho, its so beautiful

[@donoimdono4868]

Zak Hill - same here. we have only one request, though: if anyone decides to move to Idaho, please vote conservative. DON'T turn Idaho into the same state as you're running away from.

[@18deadmonkeys]

RV'd through Idaho late July 2009. Beautiful country. In fact, a lot of our continent is just absolutely amazing. Hell, even Canada has some nice scenery. I'm looking at you, Yukon. Alaska is the cherry on the cake, but the water is just impossibly cold. Seriously, I was told it freezes at 32 degrees, but I'm not buying that shit anymore. Fuck St Louis though. Best view of that place is in your rear view mirror.

[@obviousgreyman]

Yeah man Idaho is beautiful, they gotta make it over to MT next man plenty of great spots to be seen as well.

[@2ticketsoneadventure]

Damn, this Vet could really use a trip like this. Glad y'all made magic out there.

[@novafix11]

CAF Life always makes my day better. Keep up the great work and amazing coffee! Greetings from Czech Republic!

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

That’s awesome, thank you for watching and supporting us!

[@jackhamrick4483]

Man, your family is beautiful. I know it reaches farther than the 21 there. The things black rifle does for veterans is a great concept and an amazing reality. Keep it up. There's plenty of us veterans and just people in general out here that search for the release you have found. Thank you.

[@travisminton2141]

I'm not much for coffee, but as a veteran and avid outdoorsman, I support everything about you guys! I wish more companies took care of their employees as well as you guys do. My brother worked in construction and one of his bosses used to take the boys out for fishing trips and let them use his fishing boat just about anytime they wanted. You guys rock, and I appreciate the awareness you are spreading about veterans and what they might have to offer other employers. You take good care of your people, and they will move the world for you.

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

Thank you for the kind words! In our opinion, coffee makes great experiences just that much better, but it's the experiences themselves that are important in the first place. Getting outdoors with loved ones, supporting and thriving in your community, all that good stuff. Check out our latest outdoors video on family and the outdoors, you might dig it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWbagqJ6nbygnZI

[@eltedo804]

This is one of the best pieces of content you all have put out. Thank you!

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

Thank you!

[@floridacooking7018]

Damn good

[@zacharysimmons5597]

I can honestly say BRCC and the OG drinking bro’s saved my life. Specifically Evan, his leadership and mindset. Keep doing amazing things. I will always be rooting for you and your family to settle down in the mountains by the river.

[@senseiofsong]

Great scenic views. Great people. Great outdoors. Trout fishing (catch and release into hot butter). Vets. Tunes. Americans. People. A glimpse into real freedom. Thanks Evan and gang for sharing this fun video. Also thanks for the story about Baker taking a duece almost on top of a grousse nest. It's like I was there. Jealous AF. #fullcontactflyfishing #americanbaptisminthegreatoutdoors

[@mattpabst6205]

when I was stationed at Mtn. Home AFB, ID I had the pleasure being part of the Outdoor Adventure Program and was taught to be a whitewater boatman and run the rapids along the Snake, Payette, Boise, and the Salmon rivers, with the Salmon being on the river 7 days straight, which the Air Force granted me TDY (no extra pay) to do. I was also selected to be part of a crew for a Grand Cannon run in AZ, but got Orders to be deployed to South Korea and couldn't make it. this was back in the 80's. The Salmon is a great river and the Salmon Falls is a great rapid run.

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

That sounds great man! What an awesome experience

[@DavidMN-]

Beautiful place... I couldn't agree more about escaping and disconnecting and getting to a place where you can just BE. As a Christian, there are few places/times in my life that I have felt more connected to my creator than when I'm in the forest away from people.

[@benjamincumberland3936]

Amen brother

[@obviousgreyman]

Amen man I’m so blessed to live out in an area where there is more wilderness than not. The awe that the great outdoors can give is unmatched.

[@zachcd390119]

Amen. Definitely positive side effects of going fishing, hunting, hiking, or anything in the outdoors. Fewer man-made distractions, allowing you to really pay mind to God and what He's made and done

[@arryan2016]

I am just blown away by the level of production that you guys are capable of. The cinematography, editing, sound design and mixing, awesome job guys. Really awesome job.

[@springer3783]

Love to see these guys appreciating there country and freedom with all that’s going on today it’s refreshing to see good blokes and woman enjoying the freedom they are born with. From U.K.

[@markroper9269]

Great video! I am so happy for you guys and your company! :) My disconnect is at the beach, outer banks near Hatteras. I love to sit in the pool and read science fiction fantasy in the pool under an umbrella so I don't have to put lotion on. Breakfast, pool, lunch, pool, grill or smoke dinner and sit in the hot tub. Every other day we drive to the beach and setup our camp next to the truck....and I fish. The wife reads and gets sun. One vacation a couple of years ago, I read 13 books in 14 days. I don't read any other times really. You have a great company and awesome people! Don't lose that as you grow larger and larger! Keep making awesome videos! Love em! Be safe.

[@tigerab1997]

Love the coffee, love the company!

[@nicoangelobado9913]

Kudos to the vets! Doing some HARDWORK cleans and eases the mind of toxic emotions or pain. Thank you all for your service.

[@mikemcgill3998]

EVAN, EVAN, EVAN!!!! That's AWESOME that the mountains of the middle east made you but the mountains of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, brought you back home!!!! May be peace with you and God Bless!!! Thank you for my service and YOUR'S!!!😜😜😜

[@Leethal1]

Epic👌 Now let's see the blooper reels from that trip. 👍

[@Omlor28]

By far my favorite video thus far. This is something everyone needs to experience. No phones, just disconnect and enjoy family, friends, and the natural beauty of this great country. Love it!!

[@johnlansing2902]

Thank you for bringing back many great memories and thoughts of people long gone.

[@twinadventures2714]

Beautiful. The way Evan put it at the end. Just beautiful.

[@Blues2cool]

I came home in 77 and disappeared for 17 days back in the mountains of Central Pa on a trout stream. I really wasn't ready for civilian life. Another Vet a state trooper found me. He sat and we talked i left the woods about four days later. Whenever I'm back on the water it just feeds my soul. Thanks for sharing Evan. Mike

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

Thank you for sharing that - it's so true. The outdoors really feeds the soul, and the water is the pinnacle of that.

[@Blues2cool]

Hey Evan check out project healing waters I volunteered with them at Maguire Va hospital in Richmond Va. Watch severely disabled vets missing limbs learning how to fly fish. You can really see how the water transforms them inside and out.

[@realcooking1833]

I'm trying to disconnect from everything, except for coffee, meat and beer

[@renegade7493]

amen

[@aydanangus]

And wiskey

[@Daggersong]

you cant disconnect from coffee.. that is life. :)

[@apexalaska]

Gotta disconnect from that beer man. That stuff is high in carbs and estrogen, makes you fat.

[@realcooking1833]

Imm working on my moobs

[@colormedubious4747]

I was fortunate to experience this river rafting trip in 1986 with my WWII veteran father (Col, USAF, ret). He passed in 2013 and that trip is one of my fondest memories. If any of you have an opportunity to make this journey with your dad, DO IT.

[@Man_About_Town_]

Just watching this video makes me feel good 🤟🏻

[@jarvisjones7013]

I just wanted to say thank you guys for your service to our country and for the great coffee also love the content of Stanley it is one of my favorites places in Idaho thanks again for sharing 👍🏻🇺🇸💯

[@meals123]

Evan fucking nails it. I love when he talks about what the mountains meant to him. To walk a mile in war veterans shoes. My empathy grows when he describes it like this. I hope all who battle PTS or similarities can find solace the same way.

[@ORflycaster]

This video can only hint at the Middle Fork's beauty and solitude. Truly Heaven. Floating it with the BRCC clan would quite literally be a milestone in life that would be hard to ever match again. Thanks for sharing a few minutes of it with us.

[@stevendelafuentes6321]

That last few minutes of Evan detailing the change of perspective he got from that river was truly inspiring and amazing to hear him talk about. This has definitely helped me in so many ways I can’t begin to express my gratitude for this company and for Evan expressing that part. Now my family and I are getting ready to go out camping here in Central Texas. Thank you BRCC for everything you guys do.💪🏼🇺🇸

[@shooterg2071]

Best thing I have heard was about transitions and looking for threats in the mountains. I felt exactly the same way, but it still lingers and now my favorite past time is overlanding in my jeep alone.👍

[@ljmblacklock]

This reminds me of canoeing with my dad when I was 13. It was amazing, we saw a Bald Engle, (I’m Canadian) went on a hike, and shot at squirrels with a BB-Gun. Thanks for the reminder guys. Only two days left of my quarantine.

[@im9550]

You know I got to experience something like this when I was like 15 (I’m 20 now) with my Boy Scout troop. We spent 7 days on the Colorado green river. Our trip was on more of a budget but it was tons of fun. Super pretty too. Did a lot of growing up on that trip since I was the senior patrol leader and I was in charge of all the boys. One really wimpy annoying kid started to come into his own too a bit before his dad started coddling him again. 20 people went on that trip too. It wasn’t as smooth as this trip seemed as we went during monsoon season and that complicated some stuff. The river also barely moved so it was lots of paddling. Watching this video reminded me of how lucky I am that I got to go on that even tho some of it was really hard and I was tried time and time again, I wouldn’t change a thing about that trip. Instead I just want to go on more.

[@usn83001]

Magnificent. BRCC taken care of us cuz of their culture of caring for each other - while caring for us. Just an awesome look at your extended family Evan.

[@joshbeebe5804]

"Where's the threat coming from? To that's amazing." Wow. Always was thankful for the military, but for some reason that in itself opened my eyes. Just wow. Thank you.

[@hectormorales5306]

MAD LOVE AND RESPECT FOR EVAN!!! TRUE FAN HERE

[@DB.KOOPER]

Been rafting with my best friends for 20+ years (self supported and we ran the Middle Fork one year at flood stages on the Boundry Creek gauge). PNW River Rat for life and Idaho is my happy place.

[@geodiver1]

Evan, Right there with you on the disconnect from being in the suck. My disconnect was the Wind River Range in WY. Looked at the hills for Tangos in the beginning, but then started to take in the grandeur ( and the awesome brookies in the river). It is amazing how we can heal in the wilderness.,..

[@davesnyder5198]

I love you guys and gals! I love your coffee! Keep up the good work that you do. Balls to the wall in every effort. No matter the outcome. You guys make it work, and you make me make it work, each and every day. Thank you!

[@markperry3883]

There is no other state id rather live in. Ive lived in Idaho my while life beautiful and historic as hell with some of the best elk hunting around! Gearing up and preparing for hunting season here in Idaho as we speak! Keep it up guys way to show how killer Idaho is! 👌🇺🇸

[@Jml416]

I've only driven through, but you should be proud of your state. It's beautiful country.

[@shellhoward7465]

Shut up.

[@patriotfour3374]

These guys live life to the fullest! They deserve it! Long live the Republic! God bless America! 🇺🇲

[@DarkCloud_74]

Great video, thank you for sharing this awesome experience. On a side note, I could listen to Evan speak about anything. He holds your attention and he seems to be very genuine... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@bryanrolph]

Just spent 3 days backpacking and hiking in the Indian Peaks Wilderness here in Colorado. Totally disconnected from the world and it was amazing.

[@archienagle9066]

Just one of the many reasons why I love living in this state and in the northern foothills of the Frank Church wilderness area. Thank You for All That You Do⚔️🇺🇸♾

[@opiealvin]

Great trip guys. Thanks for bringing us along. And Heather appeared totally normal during her brief cameo, which we all know isn't normal.

[@daleb1225]

Your story about looking up at the mountain and the shift mentally is poetic, thank you for sharing, it helped me understand and I was not trying to figure it out.

[@BransonCerakote]

This is the kind of stuff we want to do with our employees! We love the people we work with and want to build our family environment. Thanks for a great video!

[@paullion3763]

Great job Evan and I can honestly say BRCC is some of the best coffee I have tasted Ride Free brother (retired police/LEO now in the Philippines )

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

Thank you man!

[@johnkennedy8880]

Planned a trip to Idaho with my daughter last year. Rented a cabin on the Salmon River. Frigging COVID. Had to cancel. Still on the bucket list. You guys are great!

[@JoshuaCairns]

Welcome to America's backyard! It's beautiful here and we like it that way.

[@djregius]

Big river, BRCC, flyfishing and one of the most beautiful places on Earth. You all are the greatest company ever. (and I love Heather, just sayin.)

[@justinhodges6321]

Did this in Alaska when I was stationed there and OMG, there is nothing better and more awesome!!!

[@chrissherman223]

I absolutely love this. Nature is essential and to facilitate a trip like this for your people is a wonderful thing. More employers should use you as their example.

[@markzegarac8574]

What a fantastic place you took everyone to for a disconnect! I live in the country on a river, so I'm pretty much disconnected every day and not having cellphone reception where I live is great as well.:) Really enjoyed this video as I do all of them and look forward to the next one. Thanks for all you do and continue to do for the vets and others...

[@Matt-w9m]

To see what your company has accomplished with veterans is amazing and I look forward to what’s next for you guys in the years to come

[@jmethos]

Loved the video of the get away. Listening to Evan talk about important things like getting his appreciation back for the beauty of mountains is inspiring also!

[@kingavegarage8722]

Awesome Trip. Everyone needs to get away unplug. Thanks for Sharing it with us. Watching this morning, with Patriot blend in my cup.

[@idclmbr]

I've been down that river 5x. No better place to take your team and reconnect. I loved watching this content. It is real and good. Keep it up.

[@cmorinaka]

You guys so earned it, drink it up and relish every last drop. Thank you for your service.

[@Panellll]

You guys are awesome. Stay strong. More than happy to support you guys keep being awesome.

[@michaelhansen2818]

I've always loved taking trips to Idaho with my dad, going to start making plans on doing this with my son.

[@ToggBott]

As a veteran who struggled for more years than i want to think of, the fact that you do these things for your company personal...makes me proud to support you.

[@liquidbiscuitstudios9151]

BLACK RIFLE COFFEE CO. ROCKS. As an ex whitewater river guide myself, this video was just what I needed for to start my day today. OOHAH !

[@wtfisgoingonhere1076]

I think most companies should be small & every company should spend time like this... like the family they are.

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

Definitely a family. Ed Hafer (Evan's dad) is really a part of the beating heart of BRCC, so often times our literal families are a part of it too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWbagqJ6nbygnZI

[@trevorwatkins321]

Nice to see that there is still apart of America that is pristine an untouched by modern society.

[@mannythehunter]

Welcome to my office! 20 years active duty now retired. Spend my days maintaining sites all across the Salmon Challis.

*THANK YOU*

[@Staley-gx6nc]

Wow what a great view! Looked like a blast!

[@spookerredmenace3950]

love Tim Montana! dude is awesome!

[@angeloah]

I remember my drive to the put in right below the fishing lodge, the ramp out in the middle of the right turning Rainer rapids. Big mallard was my favorite run. This is so cool to see you guys run.

[@santiago61785]

AMEN 🙏🏼! hard labor and the mountains ⛰

[@woodsinme]

So cool glad y'all got the time away. Vicariously through you ! And Evan, glad to still share the same plane with you. Rock on y'all.

[@hectormorales5306]

OMG!!! Best trip ever!!!! Inspired on a different level right now.

[@chrishanslow4825]

As an Aussie it would be brilliant to see you guys get together with Australian veterans and just get away to beautiful places in the US and here in Australia 👍👍

[@clarkforce6065]

The outdoors is so cool. It would be even cooler if I could go with these guys/gals.

[@gandamack1900]

Great Video Guys...Proud of you and what you do...and what you have accomplished😎👍🙏

[@jaimechronis5010]

What an amazing adventure with a great brotherhood...this should be used to show companys from all over how its done and this is how you treat people that help build your company. Be a hell of a lot more love in the workplace.

[@kevinm3751]

I spent every summer of my younger life on that river (North Fork, Middle Fork and South Fork) for more than two decades and long for the chance to go back!

[@sandy9064]

Beautiful country. Looked like a lot of fun. Poor Baker!

[@taylorwood9171]

Hope y'all enjoyed my backyard. Idaho always cool with the vets.

[@epiieq1]

It’s so great to see a company that “gets it.” BRCC looks like an awesome company to work for.

[@SimplyKomplicated]

Everyone in the world needs a getaway like this.

[@CodyWarth]

Thanks for making me homesick 🥺🤪 God bless Idaho!

[@brettheary]

Evans a hell of a boss. Cant wait to see what he does next

[@kamdrinkard4403]

So beautiful there

[@jasone8611]

Beautiful! I’m from Idaho and go there often. However I’m a Desert Storm Veteran and am still sick to this day. It sucks that I can’t do the things I love. Now having to deal with PTSD that I didn’t even know what it was, is tiring. You guys bring me hope.

[@MrFlyrod7]

Best place to disconnect is at a mountain cabin, in the morning with a good cup of Joe! Just watching Mother Nature do he thing.

[@BlackRifleCoffeeCompany]

So true!! Evan and his dad disconnected again recently on an elk hunt, it's a story we love to tell in hopes that people watch and then follow it up by taking the time to head outside themselves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWbagqJ6nbygnZI

[@rifleman7.62]

Thank you for sharing this! Just watching that video released some of the stress. I will turn 50 in 2 years, and I'm planning a canoe trip on the lower Mississippi river, and that just put the fire back in me to go do it! Thanks for all your videos, they are always entertaining. SEMPER FI!

[@gilvietor1918]

Not a veteran, but when I ride hard on my motorbike it is nice how it makes me focus super hard on what I am doing to forget about everything else.

[@katief8292]

What an incredible trip! What a great company to put a wonderful event like this together. Thanks for making the film to share in the journey

[@zoomiesx3632]

I just bought your coffee from Fin,Feather,Fur.....BB I love strong coffee...I love our Military Vets!!!!!!

[@owenmanygoats8037]

Get lost in what you love and enjoy. When I got medically tired from the Marine Corp. I went back to nature fishing camping everything. Great job and keep it up

[@RinconPilot]

I will be enjoying some BRCC Berzerker blend as I unplug in the Colorado Rockies soon! America!

[@bulletstop100]

You know, as a former Army airdale, and I started out on UH-1's then to UH-60A, you won't get me in a puddle jumper, nope, not gonna happen. On topic, man that looked so fun. Beautiful too.
