Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Another Raft Trip Gone Wrong

.


The only thing I am clueless to is how an arrogant A$$ like yourself can hold yourself so high and mighty.

We you there? Do you have another info other than what was in Alaska Dispatch. Have you ever #^cked up a decision? If you answered no, no and Yes than shut up! If you answered Yes, Yes, No than enlighten up with your pearls of wisdom.

Are there mirrors in your shack of a home? If the answer is yes take 2 mins. to look into that mirror just once a day and describe your holiness for us otherwise say less. If you have nothing good to say than don't say anything at all...That was my mom back in 2nd grade. You could learn a lot from a mom.

hypocrite much Walt? '

let's see if we've got this straight


you continually show up on a conservative website, bashing the ideals of conservatism and conservative candidates, with hardly ever mentioning any of the problems with the other side of the aisle.


you do so because you know you'll get attention and reaction and you're safely ensconced behind a keyboard.

you call folks here, clowns, stupid, old men


and now you're saying yo momma always told you if you don't have anything nice to say STFU?

Only an idiot like you could fail to see the obvious failure points.

Failing to see them in hindsight means you are clueless on the water...

If you are the best example your mother has, I doubt anyone could learn anything worthwhile from her..

Thanks for asking but my mom dies of cancer 5 years ago at Christmas.

I make fun of the political situation and normally on the GOP side but I think you would be hard pressed to find any posts where I swear at members and I don't think I have used the term "Stupid" but Old Man all of the time.

Whole point is/was don't gang up on the outfitter behind his back, don't be a dick. Call the guy up and let him know to his face and show a little respect. I don't get my feelings hurt by you clowns so if you feel better keep up the good work.

The collective Alaskan 24 Hr. Campfire community will raise money for Walt to do an exploration raft trip down the McClaren River and then down the Susitna River. He can take one of his 14 ft rafts and a frame from a put in at the McClaren River and float down the Susitna river. Water levels will be pretty right at the end of next week.

I am speaking for all of us but the time is right.

I see no reason to lighten up on the guides because there are so many freaking obvious points that scream "CLUELESS!!!!!"

No one was ganging up on the guides

Are you sure?

And yes I will run out now and rent another raft. business is good this year and I will hold a nice Riken 14 footer for your trip. Spend a little time on the river and life does not look so bad! To many of you guys get a lot of eye strain from too many hours spent staring at the wildest of Alaska through your computer screen.

See ya on the water!

Given the option of renting a raft to two inexperienced elderly women (67 and 69 years old to be specific) and knowing the water on the river they were rafting was a little high. And given the party they were rafting with included two very experienced guides, a total of eight others with the guides, and rafts as described in the story for the rest.

Would you rent them that particular model of inflatable canoe?

Easy question, just two or three letters will answer it.

Simple answer...I don't know their situation and it was guided...

Now my answer. I get lots of requests to rent rafts for rivers like the Klutina and Tonsina & my standard answer is I have to assume that you do not the necessary experience to operate safely on those rivers so no. I often times rent to people whom I know have the experience so to them I say YES. Keep in mind I run a rental service just Like Alaska Raft & Kayak. We have a disclaimer and the renter is responsible for the safe return of the gear and themselves. See I am a true businessman who believes in personal responsibility. If I was running a guided operation it would be different but ....I believe in personal responsibility. Makes me sound a bit like a conservative, I better be careful!


So lets throw it back you way big shooter: Lets say you own "Dickish Motors" in Mountain View and a old lady wants to buy that sweet "72" Vett on your lot. Do you not sell it to her knowing it has a 454 under the hood and she might not be able to handle it on the Glenn when she heads back home in Eagle Rive or do you act like a responsible businessman who believes in personal responsibility?

Right now you are reaching for your bucket of $hi! you have under your computer and you are going to throw another childish attack my way...


You are a Campfire Oracle with 28383 posts and you live in a city of 450,000 happy folks. I guessing you haven't seen Alaska ( other than from your computer) in a long while. Put the mouse down and go have an adventure dude! If you need a raft or a SOAR come on out and I will help you put it on the river. Have some fun today! Get out of your house and go visit Alaska!
