Pedro Oliva had a dream when he was just a kid, that he was going to see the world and do something great. A good way to fulfill that dream? Be the guy that Ben Stookesberry can count on to always say "yes" to his next crazy mission.That attitude propelled Pedro around the world on countless kayaking expeditions, gave him a brief stint as the world waterfall descent record holder, and landed him as the star of a syndicated television program showcasing his adventures. Using his energy, passion, and recognition, he's now focused on passing on his experience to the next generation and raising awareness around the importance of protecting the natural environments that he's spent a lifetime exploring.Find Pedro on instagram at @pedroolivakaiakYou can find a multitude of media on Pedro on the internet.Check out the awesome Red Bull film Locked In documenting their first descent of the Beriman Gorge at: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/films/locked-inA super interesting video documenting the history of the highest waterfall record descents in a kayak compliments of kayakhistory on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cer_5T3AUER/?id=2858659403761008913_48729946411An article by Eugene Buchanan with a nice compilation of large waterfall descents: https://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/going-over-and-staying-inAn awesome account of running Anaconda Falls by Jesse Coombs: https://oregonkayaking.net/tales/anaconda/anaconda.htmlA clip of Rafa Ortiz's descent of Anaconda Falls: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1812859069146646Today's episode's sponsors:4Corners Riversports4Corners Riversports is located in Durango, Colorado.

Today I sit down with Gary Edgeworth who has been a prominent figure in the Western U.S. kayaking scene since the 90s, or as his friend Rolf gliby puts it, "Gary is a caricature of a human being." After sitting down with him for over 2 hours, I barely scratched the surface of the amazing adventures and stories he's generated in his life.This episode has a serious "inside baseball" vibe. I've included links to some of the rivers and people he talks about in this episode for those interested in diving in deeper.0:00                         Intro, Bear Creek story6:34                         Rolf Kelly preview (Crystal Mills Falls)12:30                       High water Eldorado Canyon  with Gordon Banks and Forrest Noble 20:15                       Cherry Bomb Gorge  (Upper Cherry Creek)35:25                       Always run the first big drop45:12                       North Fork of the Slate  (also see link below for better version) 53:40                       Rio Jarcones59:57                       Jungle dangers1:08:40                   Mill Creek with Gordon Banks1:19:05                   Plan D skills1:21:50                   Idaho Salmon River high water (South Fork of Salmon, Main Salmon)1:29:30                   Middle Kings with Ben Stookesberry and company1:47:23                   Paddling philosophizing1:56:03                   MMA fighting2:01:18                   Random Eric Boomer stories2:04:40                   Retrospection2:10:50                   Concluding thoughts2:12:30                   Bonus: OBJ at midnight and other memories of satirical master ChunderboyThis podcast is being featured in the podcast section of Support the show

I talked once again with expedition legend Ben Stookesberry about some of his recent adventuring in Ecuador, we barely scratched the surface on all the stuff we could have talked about and it was still a great podcast. Check it out!

“We were treated very much like guests and not at all like people that were being kidnapped, even though technically that's what you could call it.”Today I am joined with the world renown adventurer and expedition leader, Ben Stookesberry. Ben has been on the search for adventure for the past couple decades, with well over 100 first descents in 15+ different countries. We get to dive deep into Ben's latest expedition to the El Guayas in Columbia, as Ben tells all about the epic whitewater that his team found as well as his story of being detained by the local natives. Ben is an eternal optimist and somehow finds adventure where ever he goes. Ben definitely drops a ton of nuggets of gold while telling of his incredible adventures and this is one episode you will definitely want to hear. At the end of the episode Ben has some simple takeaways a he encourages us all to do what we can to help do our part to protect our rivers and the wild places left on our planet.

I chat with expedition legend Ben Stookesberry about his more recent trip in Colombia, hitting First D's and also getting detained/kidnapped/something. You decide what his situation is described as

One of the most accomplished Expedition kayakers in the world, talks about everything from arrest stories to being vegan and everything in between.

Expedition kayakers Ben Stookesberry and Chris Korbulic have what is perhaps the longest running, most successful partnerships in outdoor adventure, but, in April 2017, on an expedition to the Colombian Amazon, the team dynamics grew so strained that being held hostage by an armed rebel group didn’t seem like the worst thing that could have happened. In Part II, we’ll get into the history of this epic partnership, what went so wrong, and what happens moving forward. 

Expedition kayakers Ben Stookesberry and Chris Korbulic have what is perhaps the longest running, most successful partnerships in outdoor adventure, but, in April 2017, on an expedition to the Colombian Amazon, the team dynamics grew so strained that being held hostage by an armed rebel group didn’t seem like the worst thing that could have happened. In Part I, we’ll follow Ben and Chris down Colombia’s remote Apaporis River. 

Ben Stookesberry and Chris Korbulic are the expedition kayakers. Over the past decade, the duo have made first descents of over 120 rivers in wildly remote locations across 36 countries and 6 continents. In 2016, Ben and Chris traveled to Myanmar to complete a source to sea descent of the Irrawaddy River.  The both say it was the first time they failed completely to accomplish their objective--and also one of the richest experiences they've ever had.  "Had we floated freely down the Irrawaddy, I don't know that we would've learned nearly as much about what actually was going on," says Ben. "The corruption that's occurring in that area stopped us from running the river. It wasn't just a side note. It was directly in front of us."  Today we, bring you a story about the intersection of politics and adventure, and about the richness in failure.    You can read more about Ben and Chris's trip to Myanmar here. 

5Point Film Festival invited us back for another live Dirtbag Diaries. And of course, we said, "Yes!" We invited four people up on stage to to talk about a moment in their lives when it all seemed to go wrong. And where those moments have led them, as the effects have rippled through their lives.  Today we present the first two stories. At 23, free skier Josh Dueck overshot the landing of a jump and fell 100 feet out of the air.  He returned to skiing the following winter in a sit ski. And he rips! You owe it to yourself to watch The Freedom Chair and Josh hucking a backflip. Kayaker Chris Korbulic was nearing the end of a 7 week trip through central Africa with Ben Stookesberry and Hendri Coetzee.  After paddling the difficult stretch of the Lacuga River, a crocodile pulled Hendri underwater. The film Kadoma (full version available on iTunes) tells the story of their trip. Chris has continued to return to Africa pursuing the rivers that brought him together with Hendri.
