    Jetboat vid from my Elk Hunt

    Just a little look at the upper Prophet River, around where the Minaker runs in. Lots of splits and braids in the river in that area, not a good place to get grounded on a gravel bar. As far as I know, I'm one of the only guys that jetboat up that far, most guys don't get past Tenaka Creek. Glad I have a SPOT, but still, it would probably be easier to walk out than convince someone to come help.

    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    Great video RD. Liked it alot. I love aluminum boats (own an ocean boat) but haven't got a clue about running rivers. I love watching your vids. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers.

    Doesn't look like a very relaxing boat ride. Fairly amazing how steady your camera is considering whats going on. Thanks for posting up, always an eye opener to Jetboating.

    No, I now have 2 Samsung Sportscams, both have failed, currently I am using a VIO POV1 (The "HOLY GRAIL" of headcams)

    A persons head is like a natural Gyro, mounting a camera to your head is VERY steady.
