Great video!
How long was the rope compared to that last rappel? If you go down on a single strand (with a block) setting it to be the exact length, and keep the rest in the top of a bag it can help a lot to avoid extra length in the water, which is more likely to get stuck. Someone can swim over to the closest shore with the bag to be ready to pull. Also by setting it to be the exact length, much easier to get off just rappel off the end: ) no faffing about with rappel device while swimming in the moving water.

This whole being sucked under by the current thing is really making me remember a time, in college. We wanted to go white water rafting, but they were all out of rafts, so we went with the conoes. We were up at warm river, masa falls area in Idaho. Well I ended up being the only person who was capable of climbing up and out to call 911. We had a friend who was seriously injured and had lost a lot of blood, and one missing friend. Everyone survived in the end. But that fast moving water is no joke!

I'm OK but somebody owes me some new underwear. You guys made virtual reality shows obsolete. Recommending a good counselor probably won't do any good so perhaps you can dial back the fear factor just a tad. I'm almost 73, a little overweight and my ticker can't handle all this excitement. God knows what you left on the cutting room floor so for Pete's sake be careful out there.

Watching all of your videos one by one. What I love is the raw nature of your content and the fact that not every adventure is this amazing feat of exploration. some trips rock, some suck, some are hard, some are easy. most are beautiful and ultimately that's just the nature of nature! Thanks for all the content you continue to create! - Happy Exploring - Mack from Canada!

This was my favorite trail before the kid that threw a firecracker and burnt everything up. Havent hiked since its been closed for like 2 years. Everytime I come home in the summer and look it up its closed for some reason.

Everyone knows that the video never does justice to the awesomeness of experiencing a place. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be in such a unique and beautiful canyon. Thanks for sharing.

You guys are my daily inspiration. I live in Ohio but have ventured out west a few times. Ive been to this location, but I cant wait to move out there and be surrounded by it daily. Lack of adventure here!

Hello, came across your video and would like to start off by saying good job with the content. This may be a silly question, is the punchbowl on the same trail as the tunnel and twister falls?

Ive always appreciated the video, but having just hiked this now that it has reopened, its surreal to see how much different this trail and canyon looks from fire damage.

Poor rope. Did the drone go in a dry bag? Have you guys seen the new DJI mavic? Looks like that would be a perfect fit for your adventures

Bitter sweet seeing this after those worthless, brainless teenagers set fire to Eagle Creek Canyon and a large section of the Gorge.

Excellent footage. I would be too caught up in the journey to be thinking about shots and angles and logistics of shooting.

Awesome shots. Definitely a good example of how not to do wet canyon rigging. Very poor rope management on your guides part.
