A Glorious Way To DieDVD & VHS - $24.9552 Minutes Worth every penny of it's price, this is a professionally done documentary on the insane Russian paddlers. They make their own dry suits, life jackets, and raft bladders from parts scavenged from old airplanes & tractors. Then they drive to the mountains of Siberia, hike this gear in with tools and provisions for 2 or 3 weeks on the water. They cut trees and build the catarafts on site. Then, they paddle some of the most heinous whitewater on earth... High volume, Class 5 & 6 inside steep rock canyons. And they don't all survive. These rivers kill over 50 rafters each season. This is the video that shows that most bizarre and manly raft - the Russian Bublik! |
