Me too especially gold miners. Well, maybe bears too and I don't mean the Andean bear.

You're hilarious. Thanks!

So are you MCR. Hines 😎

On that trip we were warned by a representative of the Ministerio de la Cultura who was also on the river at that time. He told us we shouldn't be there during that month because the indigenous usually come down to collect Taricaya turtle eggs. The indigenous have been known to shoot arrows and ask questions later. I doubt they're angry but then again the only outsiders who venture into areas like these are loggers who are cutting down their trees. Watch "The Emerald Forest" (1985). It's one of my top 3.

Alpacka is usually spot on when it comes to weight because they know it's the most important thing. Yes, either the Classics or Caribou will carry more and be better for rivers and whitewater. If you're undecided I'd go with a bigger boat. If you're more interested in high lakes you'd need to hike to the Scout is better and the lighter weight is noticeable.

You can! Let me know when you can make it down here: incanexpeditions.com/rafting/laberinto-oxbow-lake-creek-rafting-with-hammock-camping-expedition-6-days

Thanks!

My pleasure. This was a weird one but nonetheless available for anyone who wants to do it. Thanks for watching and thanks for leaving a comment.

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for your comment and suggestion. I tried the CZcams "Shorts" and figured out that they are basically worthless. I make videos so people can see how it really is in the Amazon and for those who really want to do it. As you suggest and as well as CZcams suggests the shorts don't translate into watching longer material. It is a ploy to generate more shorts so they can reach par with Tiktok. None of what I do is fake or less than a minute or 30 seconds or whatever it is. Thanks sincerely for your idea and I appreciate your comment. -Jeremy

@@IncanExpeditions love this. I appreciate the sincere feedback. I'm quite literally watching another of your videos right now, as I work out my own travel ambitions and desires. I just wish there was a way to bring content like this to more people - I don't think it's lack of demand; I think a good section of society craves authentic engagement and raw experience documentation like this. I just don't think they know where/how to find it (based on what the algorithms push, etc)

@@bmitchell922Yes, I've dealt with this for years. People say "This is the best thing.." but CZcams promotes the usual. I'm ok with it because I'd rather have quality viewers who are really looking for something like this than people who are just looking to kill boredom. Thanks for watching and for your excellent comments!!

This is my favorite.

Me too

It worked fine. I just don't think anyone should be taking a bike up this mountain.

and also, have you ever gone really deep into the true true wild areas of peruvian amazon?

Yes, I check satellite imagery both before I go and during with a GPSMAP 66S with BirdsEye. The gold miners have tripled over the last few years and they're tearing the river up.

Yeah, it was a death trap.

I'm watching Dual Survival right now. Thanks for watching and for the comments!

Thanks Smoky!

Thanks! Yeah, it's just me and my Fuji. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! You grab a line and I'll grab a pole and we'll go down to the fishin' hole..

@@IncanExpeditions 🤣🤣🤣 Awesome . Hopefully the family and I can plan a trip down that way soon. Maine is cold right now

Come on down. We are still in "Summer" right now but there's still a lot of rain. It ends in a month and rafting season begins!

Thanks!!

The Classics will handle 3+ whitewater but you can still fit them either in or on your pack and climb mountains. I get the most use out of them by portaging from the main river to oxbow lakes. I can also pack up 6 boats, packs and food and meet clients in other towns using only 1 car!

I have 1 Scout and 6 Classic Series (2 of each size). All have detachable spray decks but hardly ever use. For rapids and rainy season they stay rolled up on the boat until needed. Here is an affiliate link to the Classic Series bit.ly/3OKbVRH Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for watching!

Yes, you can't always buy something to do exactly what you want it to do. Thanks for watching!

Right on. I'll try to include more about the plants in future videos. Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!!

You won't regret it but you'll have to contact me first since I'm the only one who knows where it is :) Thanks for watching!

Fantastic! I hope to see you soon..

I didn't have any plans to travel up north because any tours I create here are closer to home. The last time I was up in that area was in Tarapoto over 20 years ago! It was my first week in the jungle. Thanks for watching and and for being part of my adventure.

Thanks!

Very cool. I bet that area is similar. Maybe one day I'll plan an expedition and video "The Search for the Treasure of the Llanganatis". :)

Thank you Hendi!

Thank you! Being in nature brings me peace and I'm glad I can share it with you!

Cool! You made my day today :)

Thank you!! I really appreciate it. I don't know what's going on with YT but I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for watching.

I would say yes but not the uphill portions. Hire mules for the 2 hikes up and ride the 3 downhills. Let me know if you want help setting this up. After the Totora Pass you can bike downhill until Santa Teresa and the Urubamba River / Hydroelectric Station. Thanks for watching.

I did not bring a bike but for the hike in I could use a bike. In that case I would not stash it and instead put it on the boat.

Thanks!!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Arm-chair traveling is the way to go, no expenses or anything dangerous. Thanks for the comment!

Wow, I'd rather deal with the Andean (Paddington) bear than with any Black bears. I'd even take a jaguar over those any day. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, the police aren't paid enough to go up that trail but they know who the smugglers are and when they go up it. It was a rough one but very pretty and different from low jungle terrain. Thanks for the comment.

I know what you mean. I can't leave my bike anywhere in Peru without everything being locked up. Seems like your system is similar to mine besides the attached backpack in the back. Good idea! The more bikepacking, hiking and lugging gear around you do the more minimalist you become. Most of the time I have things I want to bring but I just don't want to carry it anymore. Thanks for posting!!

Sorry, I don't have anything to weigh something this size. Alpacka is good about posting weights. For example they list the weight of the seat www.alpackaraft.com/products/scout-seat If you have specific questions such as tiedown weight I'd call them. 970-533-7119 workshop@alpackaraft.com

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
