Well, we’re certainly gonna buy all we can afford. Me, I could live in a tent but my wife deserves a decent house. I had a fly in camp a hundred miles up the Nushagak from Dillingham. We had those nice big Colorado aluminum frame tents. Some were canvas like our cook tent but the customer tent was a ripstop material called “Realite”. Great stuff and so lite. It had a 12” dirt skirt that we shoveled gravel on. I built a pile of 2” angle iron stakes. 2’ long with a heavy 20 penny nail welded in to hold tie down. Worked good. Customer tent was 60’ long by 12’ wide. We had three 12 x 14 frame tents for me and Bethany and the staff. Great fun for eight years. Had to pay the native corporation $5K every summer. We were te h I ally below high water so didn’t really have to pay but I wanted to get along. Those people in Koliganek and New Stuyahok were very friendly and helpful to us. Them native women would load up a boat with kids and bring them down for coffee. The kids all wanted to see the diving dogs. I had a chocolate male and a yellow female labs. They would swim out and dive down to get the rock you threw. Of course the whole bottom was big gravel. I told the kids not to tell the dogs they didn’t have the right rock. I think having the stories is part of being around a long time and being an adventurer. You know all about that. You’ve got a very healthy dose of it yourself. One of these years you should talk your wife into taking a contract up north.

I'm so glad to find your video! I've lived within a mile of the Colorado for the last 10 years and have wanted a boat to cruise it. Just didn't know what to get. I've considered a surface drive but see your jet drive works well in shallow waters. Love it!

@@DennisBohannan Thanks for the conformation regarding jets! I live near Bastrop and love Columbus. Go to Schobles Restaurant about once a month. Great place and delicious food! Have fun. Hope to join the "river runners" one day.

Watching you go thru those bedrock chutes warms my heart. My home river in Oregon, the Alsea, is nothing but that same formation. When the water is low I know that pucker factor, you stand on your toes, every muscle is tensed up, and you know if you had painted you boat last night you wouldn’t make it thru today!! 😅 I know the video doesn’t do justice to actually being there but I hear quite a bit of cavitation? Is that cause you’re trimmed up a tad or?? I know we all cavitate a little, the bigger the waves the worse it is. Oh, it just dawned on me that the new K Kustom is flat bottom too right. That’s the answer. That sun in the eyes is a killer. I was up north Caribou hunting on the river one afternoon by myself. I had ten foot cataract oars mounted in UHMW blocks with hard foam paddles. The blades floated and I could row silently up on game. I shot a small bull and headed back to the launch where my wife was with the p/u camper. Well the sun was going down and I come flying around a bend and the horizon was a perfect gun site with the whole sun in the bottom of the Vee. At near full throttle with a lite load I hit a sandbar and went from 30mph to 0mph in record time. All 240 pounds of me was launched forward like some half assed arrow. My left knee hit the seat box so hard I broke one of the self thread screws holding it down. I hobbled outa the boat using my rifle as a crutch. She was like: Well now whdyado? Hi Honey, I got one! Yeah yeah now whdyado? Again. Turns out I broke my leg. Fractured tibia all the way around right below knee joint. Dr said it was a miracle it didn’t explode into a million pieces. I showed a pic of my Bull and he was no more impressed than my wife. That suns a killer

I'm sure the cavitation is from being super trimmed up too high protecting the intake. You got some wild stories. Love to here more of them. I will come see you when you get to Missouri. Better yet buy us a bunch of land with some river front and sell me some I move up there to. TEXAS is full. Farm after farm turning into Subdivision.

I've been down as far as that rock cliff. I knew those large rock gardens were down a little further and didn't want to chance breaking something. Barely made it back up with my 6-gallon tank as it was. After that trip I got a 6.6 gallon and an extra 3-gallon tank. "barely clogged up" that cracked me up. Hydrilla sucks. Welcome the Colorado river. lol

Ramp in weberville. I checked out Nashs ferry crossing, that ramp looks rough. Also a really rough mud ramp in tahitian village that I have been scared to try. The Smithville ramp is the nicest, I have yet to check out the Lagrange ramp though. Bastrop ramp in fisherman's Park is always crowded by yakkers.

AWFUL lot of public land to hunt you are surrounded with, Dennis……….and majority of individuals cannot get access except thru rigs like yours. These runs are great to watch, but can do that after hunting season ends. Just saying-🤷

I was down this way for an old army friends wedding, so I brought the boat. Make the trip worth it you know. River exploration > hunting
