      Ur much stronger than u think bridget, last year I was on an operating table having a major operation. I'm not gonna lie the guys really helped me through this trip and so did my lady! Without them I highly doubt I would have attempted it. But I'm so glad we all did it together, me and rachel won't forget it that's gor sure 😁😁👍 Andy and Simon really are true gentlemen 😁

      If you have a yard, you can always camp out in your backyard. Not exactly the same, but pretty close. And can be seriously fun with the right company.
      And you are home, in case you need it, and medical help (EMT) is available. But you can pretend.

      You are strong. My mother is overweight and had 5 valves bypassed to her heart 1 year ago. All she wants is to go camping with my toddler and working hard to do it. Everything takes work and time but if you have your mind set on one thing to do or a list it makes that hard work worth it. I have a destroyed knee and 3 slipped disks and hiked 128 miles on the Appalachian trail in 3 weeks. It just takes time and work. You can do it.

    Like Bridget, I'm 62 and also living vicariously through you and Simon. What a great trip, great river, really great camp spot, cool bivvy/tent and great friends! Nice Island too! You guys ever try fly fishing? I used to go to a river about 9 hours away that's in the middle of the Mark Twain National forest, so there's no bridges, no houses, electric lines, roads, cattle, cell service or anything at all! Just pristine wilderness. Only a jet trail now and then or you'd think you were in the 18th century. I'd go out for a week at a time and sometimes never see another human. Just lots of wildlife. I sure wish I'd had the video equipment you have and could have made a record of it all, but that was 15 ears ago. Fly fishing for rainbow trout all day every day! It looks so much like where you all were it's amazing. Halfway around the world. Thank you for making this wonderful video of it for me! I hope I can get my health back and go back there next year! If any of you want to make a trip this far away, It's the Eleven Point river in southern Missouri. I'll guide if you'll help me get along... Just plan on a week on the river. October is the time to do it. Thanks again for the video!

    Was watching you doing camping pasta, while I was eating pasta that I added to some hot stew... I am getting pretty good as cooking pasta in stew without the pre cooking it in water and draining it first... I get the stew completely cooked then cook the pasta to the proper tenderness in the stew and then get it off the heat and eat... seeing you do it the normal way... just not what I have been doing for awhile.
