We're working on upgrading our equipment to better deal with conditions like these** One year to the day later, we’re back at the frontier home of Eli Froedge and Jason Jacobs as they recover from another expedition in their dugout canoe. In 2019, t he pair set out to travel the Wabash river , not far from Eli’s home, south into the Ohio River. After 6 days of cooking under the summer heat on the Wabash, they pulled to shore and ended the trek for this year. Jason noted that the trip was wonderful, but played out a bit like a Navy SEAL Challenge. They left the river with their heads high, knowing they had survived for 6 days on the river, a feat not earned by many. Fast forward to September of 2020, the group announced they would be continuing their expedition in an effort to complete last year’s goal. This year the pair had some more friends to join in on the adventure. Keith and Jen Syers of “ Ramshackle Homestead and Survival ” would join them in a period homemade bateau, and Heath Hoffmann & son who joined in on part of the trip last year will be joining Eli and Jason once again in their canoe. The paddle driven armada put in north of New Harmony, Indiana, setting their sights on the Ohio River. During the 4 day trek, the team covered a total of 80 miles of water, performed a water rescue the Coast Guard would be proud of, traversed class A rapids, and created a lot of memories with good friends.
