One of my Alaskan sisters says BeaV will be on the radio tonight 7pm Alaska time (10 pm central).

KTNA.org

It is a rebroadcast of an interview he did about his 5000 mile Alaskan paddling adventure.

I could not confirm this information, so listen at your own risk and blame my sister if it's in error.

Enjoy!

I vote for a re-viewing of his videos we were able to watch some time ago! What an amazing journey.

Fyi the radio station did confirm that they are rebroadcasting his interview at 7 p.m. Alaska time or 10 p.m. Central Time.

That said every hour of those videos is well worth viewing, and definitely once is not enough.

I missed the vids. Hopefully we'll get another chance to see them.

I attended Bryan Brown "Solo down the Yukon" at the Outdoor expo in April. Beav's adventure was way tougher than what he did. Beav was a lot more humble about his trip as well... as nice as I can say it. No way I can do either though.

I listened to it in south central Alaska last nite, one mile from Skilak Lake. Skilak Lake is 500 feet deep 5 miles wide and 20 miles long. I can't imagine paddling across Skilak Lake much less Lake Illiamna. One thing for sure, the scenery had to be out of this world.

Lake Illiamna

May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

If i recall, the videos BeaV released were rather sparse during the Iliamna portion of the paddle. Understandable as he was in the home stretch and trying to make a family event. But I found researching that lake fascinating.

It was BeaV's wish to only have them available for a limited time. CanoeKev and I teamed up (with BeaV's blessings) to make them available. I'm happy to set them up again, but only with BeaV's permission.

We all have to believe in something. I believe I'll go paddle.

That makes sense. I think I remember that a documentary was going to be done?? So keeping the footage for that is a good idea.

I did the same kind of research with his sections of the chandalar upstream and the koyukuk (probably murdered the spellings.). Wild stuff.

The solo BeaV expedition around Alaska is must viewing by any person who loves adventure. It still boggles my mind that he did that. Incredible footage.

Thanks BWP for this insight. I was wondering why there was a bunch of internet interest in my trip again- now I know.

Yep! BeaV just gave me permission to repost them. I hope to be able to do that in the next couple of days. It may take me a little organizational time, but hang in there.

Thanks, BeaV!
