A Brief Moment in a Beautiful Place

There is a fine line between a life-lasting memory and disaster. Whatever the discipline -- alpinism, big wave surfing, foreign travel -- we calculate risk, formulate plans and sometimes we have the spunk to see them through.  This week we're headed for Laos to recount the story of two friends and one spectacularly bad idea.  Join us as we follow Jacob Bain, Colin Brynn and a bamboo raft down a river at the edge of the world. Sometimes bad ideas work out for the better...sometimes.

  • Reminds me of what it would have possibly been like to have gone paddling in Costa Rica, if my two good buddies would have waited on me.

  • Thank you so much for this story. I think we all strive for a simplification of our life. Jacob and Colin\\\'s trip achieved a realization of this simplicity. And again what a great story. I just wonder if they\\\\\\\'re any conservation efforts by any major environmental groups to try and save this area.
