LYSSNA PÅ BONUSAVSNITTET HÄR: www.patreon.com/spoktimmenEn helt vanlig rutt på en helt vanlig dag. Det var det färjeturen med MS Samina skulle vara den där dagen i september år 2000. Men den här dagen blev inte som de andra då katastrofen var framme.Ben Stookesberry och Chris Korbulic är vana kajakpaddlare som har en dröm: de vill upptäcka avlägsna floder i Afrika. De är skickliga på att ta sig ner för livsfarliga forsar men här finns en fara de inte är vana vid, nämligen krokodiler och flodhästar. Därför väljer de att kontakta en guide som ska hjälpa dem klara av äventyret och till en början går allt bra. Fram tills den där ödesdigra dagen...KontaktInstagram:@spoktimmen@linnekFacebook:SpöktimmenMail:spoktimmenpodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chris Korbulic is one of the world’s leading expedition whitewater kayakers, with first descents and incredibly grueling expeditions that have taken him all over the world. His philosophy of life is to “appreciate what you have, enjoy the day for what it is, and say yes to new experiences.” Growing up on the Rogue River in Oregon, Chris had an extremely early introduction to the river lifestyle as some of his earliest memories where the wilderness, culture, and excitement stuck with him for the rest of his life. His parents and their friends inspired and taught him to enjoy and appreciate wilderness, especially on the river. Years down the road, or river, he’s still following the water and enjoying it more than ever!        

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.

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. 

For our third beta release we talked with Chip Noble of about 2-way messaging in the field without a cellular data connection. We talked about their both for their GPSR and for Android devices. He also shared that Chris Korbulic and Ben Stookesberry of the Eddie Bauer/First Ascent Kayakers are using the inReach as they challenge the . He also mentioned the "" where Toby and David use the inReach to provide tracking to their website. Subscribe to the feed: Social Media:
