The Salt River Rafting Expedition HD 2023: Ephemeral Salt
Fresh off the heels of a near-death baptism by the raging Salt River, I, your intrepid psychonaut of the rapids, bring you "Ephemeral Salt." This ain't no tourist brochure trip, folks. This is a lysergic plunge into the heart of the West's rivers, a gonzo whitewater odyssey where the river itself becomes a metaphor for the fleeting nature of existence.
March 2023. The Salt River, a sinuous serpent coiling through the parched Arizona landscape, was a churning beast on high water. We, a ragtag band of lunatics with a death wish and a thirst for adventure, strapped ourselves into our inflatable chariots and hurtled into the maelstrom.
It was a technicolor trip, man. The sun beat down, turning the sky into a bruised banana. The river roared, a symphony of whitecaps and churning fury. We flipped, we swam (involuntarily, of course), and emerged, blinking and gasping, like extras from a bad Apocalypse Now remake.
But amidst the chaos, a profound truth emerged. This precious, ephemeral river - the lifeblood of the West - is slipping through our fingers faster than a greased watermelon at a frat party. We battled the rapids, not just for thrills (though those were plentiful), but for a deeper understanding of our dependence on this vanishing resource.
"Ephemeral Salt" is a cinematic Molotov cocktail, a fiery blend of whitewater carnage, environmental commentary, and enough existential dread to make Nietzsche proud. Buckle up, grab a fistful of your favorite mushrooms, and prepare to be swept away by the current. This ain't your mama's rafting trip. This is the real goddamn deal.

Middle Fork Of Madness

This vide is not only about a trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, but also about defining who we are by the activities that we conduct. This is a trip about adventure, community, solitude, self-sufficiency. The Middle Fork of the Salmon is 104 miles of pristine wild river, one of the few last free flow sections of wild water left in the West. Thanks to the Frank Church Wilderness of ...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to raft the Colorado River through Grand Canyon National Park? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend 18 days camping on the river completely removed from the outside world. Are you looking for an epic expedition into the heart of the Desert West, well this is your video. This Video is from my 2019 private rafting trip through the Gran...

We had the opportunity to run the Dolores for Memorial day weekend this year and it was the first time for most of us. It probably goes with out saying but it was spectacular to say the least. Amazing camping, company and whitewater.

Clear Creek Dumont Through The Beavers
Hey I've hit that rock a couple times in your thumbnail 😂
I think that one of the BIG reasons that groups don't collaborate these days is because it is against the permit rules to recruit on internet message boards. Read the permit rules. Finding people to join your permit on the BUZZ is technically a no no! Take care and have fun...
It’s getting to be that time of year
I can even SMELL IT! I hope I can get back there again.
Awesome capture and edit
Looks amazing!!
Y'all take WAY too much shit to the river.
Can't wait to go on this trip with you in a few days!
Great footage. We have a permit to run the Grand Canyon next summer. Can't wait to see the scenery in person. Rapids look killer!
Sweet video. Thanks for sharing. I might have to up my food game 😂
Awesome, cant believe I get to go along a year later with Larry in a couple of week!
Great film. Thanks.
Great film, keep it up. :)
Nice trip! But I'm baffled why western boaters don't wear helmets in an oar rig. Is it a pride thing or is it ignorance? As a guide with 45+ years experience all over the world, I've seen all kinds of sh!t go down on the river. Things escalate out of control quicker than you think. All it takes is getting surfed in a hole, losing control of your oar, getting wacked in the head, and suffering a traumatic head injury. Or getting your downstream oar stuck on a rock and violently ripped from your hand and whacking your unhelmeted passenger (or loved one) in the side or back of the head! Why risk ruining everyone else's trip because you're too proud or arrogant to think it won't happen to you? Have you ever dealt with a THI in the wilderness? I have, and thank God that we had radios to call for help! That person still suffers from the experience and requires 24/7 assistance for the rest of his life. Sorry for the rant but it pisses me off to see people being ignorant of situational awareness. You wear a PFD as part of safety protocol, why not a helmet?
That's a pretty heavy generalization about western boaters. I was on this trip and most of the people were wearing helmets in most of the big rapids. People have different tolerances for risk including getting on the river to begin with. On this river, at this time of year, and at this flow a dry suit would be further up the risk mitigation list than than continuous use of a a helmet in my perspective, but many people don't wear those. If this pisses you off, wait till you hear about motorcycles. Your mind is going to short circuit. At least you got to tell us you were an very experienced guide, that usually makes guides happy 🙂
@@de231 It's not a generalization of western boaters, it's fact. And I won't stoop to your level of snide remarks. Have a great day!
You don't want to boat with me then that's for sure. There are times when I don't even wear my PFD....(Gasp and dramatic pause)....I have even swam in the river without one. Like from one shore to the other at a camp. If you are typical of non-western boaters then I am hope to God you stay wherever you are.
@@1carve2I don’t always wear my PDF when I’m not rowing through rapids either. Yikes. We’d get along well! Ha
Plenty of western boaters wear helmets😂 giving some strong get of my porch vibes😂
I bet I know who brought the glowsticks
I want to get to the Middle Fork Salmon and the Big Horn Crags so bad! I study maps like people read books and can't wait until the kids get a little older for these trips. Fortunate to be so close to Bruneau-Jarbridge, Owyhee, Snake, Payette, Salmon and Boise rivers. Definitely want to get up to the Lochsa and Selway in the massive Selway-Bitterroot Wildeness.
What a cool group of folks. Thanks for sharing your trip!
Happy Boat’N
7:36 what the heck is going on with that jump? Laughed my ass off tho.
The incessant singing by a few participants almost ruined this really well filmed video of what seemed like a great rafting trip..
Nice, Josh!
Well done! The spelling of rapids could use some attention.
Yea been though the hole in a 18 footer it’s a major hole i though we were going over when it turned the boat sideways I jumped to high side and it kicked us outa the hole
I had the biggest hit of my life in the hole, with an 18' as well. Folded the front of the boat!
Great rapid vary fun
I love this rapid, it is the first real pucker moment for me on a Grand trip!
Great video! We launched September 5th that year. Emerald water the whole stretch.
Thanks, I know the emerald water is not what it "should" look like but I love it as well!
Good friends make for a great trip.
Agreed, we had a great crew on this trip!
Great video edit! I personally like the fake snake scream and hats flying!
Thanks love to show the fun that is had on the river.
Nice video!
where's the rest of the video? what a tease cutting out like that!
