Episode 10: Lesssons Learned from Guiding, Hunting, and a Boat Crash with Tyson Porter

But yeah, so you're guiding fishing.

And is that where the boat crash story happens? Or is this on one of your own adventures outside work?

Oh, that was just a day trip from home, basically.

Yeah, that wasn't for work.

I wanted to go up a river and scout it for moose.

And so I think it was in, I want to say July, about this time last year.

And so my buddy Matt, he had a friend that had the boat.

And so I've just got to pack her out.

Yeah.

But I wanted to get up that river and scout it out.

And so his friend was willing to take us up there.

And I guess the plan was I was going to ride up and – We were going to drop off, or I was going to get dropped off at the pack raft and kind of make my way overnight and scout it out.

It's just got to be a quick day trip for them, kind of run me up and drop me off.

Yeah.

So, yeah, you want me to get right into kind of what went down? Yeah, let's go for

it.

All right.

So, yeah, so we went up there and end up being Matt and his wife and then his friend and his wife and myself.

So it's the five of us in a boat.

He had a pretty nice boat.

It's like a one of those like sport John's 24 foot with the inboard 200 horse inboard.

Nice boat had a canopy and stuff on it.

Pretty big boat.

And it's a pretty tight river more or less.

But I mean, he had been up there quite a few times.
