Thanks. It is a beautiful river.

Thanks for sharing, and showing everything quite clearly.

[@p3outdoors]

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm currently in Ontario on a flat water trip. I just found a magic spot with cell phone service and saw your comment. Thanks for watching.

Good stuff! Good on ya for running those C1's man! I don't have the boat for it, but I really would like to try it someday. I stick to the streams and lakes for now LOL Thanks for taking us along!

[@NikonF5user]

Oh I LOVE that Yellowstone! Bet that's an amazing ship for a trip like this!!!

[@p3outdoors]

Yes. 4 of the 5 canoes were Bell Yellowstone/Wildfire solos. Great river tripping boats.

I loved your video. I paddle lots and have always wanted to paddle this route your video lets us see the river close up before running it. Thanks so much! Great vid.

[@p3outdoors]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

"That got ugly"... the boat stayed upright, and dry. Good enough for me.

[@p3outdoors]

Thanks. Your comment made me laugh. By the end of that trip, I learned alot and was starting to enjoy the fast water.

Very nice tripping video. You know, if it was a video game, hitting every rock in the river would probably give you the highest score.

[@p3outdoors]

Thank you for the compliment and the hilarious comment. That made me laugh.

Nice work guys. I really enjoyed your documentary. I did the West ranch back in 2004 just like you from Sinker Creek to the elbow. I did the East branch 2 x in 1990 not as exciting as the West Branch.

[@p3outdoors]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The mosquito noises reminded me of memories I'd hoped to suppress

[@p3outdoors]

Sorry about that. I was very glad for the screen on my hammock that kept them off me. I think they liked the glow of my phone and gathered around it as I recorded that clip. Overall they weren't too bad on that trip. Thank you for watching despite the trauma

I'm sure you've been told this before but, you need to kneel when running White water. Not only does it lower your COG , it moves you a little further forward, it allows you to control the boat with your thighs and it gives more purchase for your paddle.

[@p3outdoors]

Thanks for the sound advice. Unfortunately, because of an old knee injury, my right knee doesn't bend more than 90°, but I hope to overcome that someday. All my kneeling friends do so much better than me.
