Im disabled and watch a lot of outdoors videos on YouTube including yours and Brooks, Partially to live vicariously and partially to motivate myself. Of all the videos i have seem over the last few years, this is by far the most awesome. This is my dream. Thank you.

Dave, I’m a 76 year old lady sitting here thinking “I want to do this”. God has blessed you greatly.

Dear Dave and Brooke, I have watched this raft trip several times and each experience is so entertaining and enriching. I was 77 on 12/27/21 and am still very spiritually vibrant. However, severe orthroartritis handicaps me such that my former normal adventures are mostly verboten. Thus, I very much vicariously enjoy every video you both produce. Just 10 years ago I was able to engage in all the exhiIariating activities I witness you doing. I ask not for any pity but joy that I so enjoy your wonderful visual productions. Thank and bless you and your wonderful son and daughter so much for the gifts you have given me.
Blessings, Larry

First of all I have to say big thanks to you. I found this video about two weeks ago. Incredibly, I found myself 20 years ago in this video. I am the Japanese with black hair in the past two minutes. I was there exactly!! It’s my first solo adventure that kayaking Yukon.
I could clearly remember my precious memories in this video.
I appreciate you made this video.
And thank you so much for Neil and your family. I had good sleep on raft cabin at that time.
One more appreciate to you guys from Japan.

Wonderful story Dave, truly enjoyed it.

At the end of your documentary I was wishing that I had grown up in Alaska. What a wonderful wonderful thing rolling down the river on a raft. With your voice, you should be speaking and doing documentaries all the time. Thoroughly enjoyed thanks!

This is a great story to watch on a Saturday morning while the house is quiet and the family is still asleep. It makes me dream of a river far away that I hope to see one day. Thank you so much for sharing this.

A tale long in making, big smiles, pies and dogs. One river, some logs and a dream long on hold. All in all, damn well told.
