DIY Barrel Raft River Trip Camping On Boat

Crazy neighbour and I set out on the homemade camping pontoon boat for a couple days up river and back down again to where we launched from. Built it out of 8 55 gallon rain drums, plywood and lumber. We have a removable tent set up so we can camp right on the boat! Nice little heater and a place to cook meals. Was a great adventure with lots of hunkering down.
For any questions about why we're not fishing, the river isn't recommended for fish consumption due to natural mercury content.

Steve, I wouldn't believe it myself, but river rocks do explode if you use them around a fire. A friend and I were camping near the Salmon river in Idaho using a pre-existing metal fire ring with grate and things started exploding in the fire. We couldn't figure out what it was until we started getting hit with hot rocks. Someone had put them in the bottom of the fire pit and that's what was exploding. I suspect it was a certain type of rock but it was pretty shocking and quite scary.

After several minutes on the fire the rock suddenly, quite literally exploded, throwing sharp shards of stone in multiple directions as we hovered over the fire. It was LOUD, and we were both seriously lucky we weren't struck by any of the shards.

When you're trying to go against the current always stick to the shore line as there is way way less current there. When anchoring for the night throw your anchor drift down until you're taught then motor to the shore line and tie off up stream, as the tide rises or drops you will stay in the same spot and not get beached.

Can confirm river rocks will explode. Have had it happen to me and to several people I know. It's usually quite loud and will go a pretty good distance. And the hot rock will melt through plastics and rubber. If they get warmed slowly it usually doesn't happen, but if you have a really warm fire fast it will. We build fire pits out of river rock where I am and we usually will wait a month or two after pulling them out of the water to use them. They will crack in half a lot even just from a good rain and a fire, but when they do explode you don't want to be anywhere near them. I have watched your videos for quite a while now and now I am going back and watching older videos.

Awesome videos, an idea for the getting beached problem. You could use both of the poles and the ropes, as a anchor system to keep you from drifting while also keep you from getting beached. If you angle the pole at each end of the raft, to the frame and into the rocks. While using the ropes how you already are and putting tension back towards the bank. Theoretically it should keep you in one spot. Not an engineer, just a problem solver!
