From the Spirit Forest to the Dragon’s Mouth


Teaching CPR along the Mekong and   Srepok Rivers by Canoe

” The life of a fisherman is dangerous; there are some pretty serious entanglement
issues with nets and of course there are no PFDs. But what I didn’t know until
we started research for this expedition, is that every day on average 6
children drown in Cambodia, and 32 drown in Vietnam (swimsafe.org).    I don’t
know if the training we can provide will ever save a life, but it might, and
that is what we hope for.   ”

First of all, I would like to thank you for all of your support. Without the gear we got from our sponsors, we probably wouldn’t be able to do this expedition. We are in Cambodia and hope to at least be camping by the Srepok River tomorrow. Our web site and blog are active at cprexpedition.weebly.com though it is unlikely we will be able to post for the next week since it is quite remote. —Again, thanks for everything. We will try to get you all some good pictures of your gear in action posted on our site and for you to use as well.

All the best,

Garrett”

“My Oware 9×9 Pyramid is in its seventh season now, and wanted to send a few photos of its life in the wild. It’s been used mostly in Washington state, with a few forays into California and Oregon. It’s been an excellent tent — can’t say enough about it. The two below are at Cache Col in the North Cascades, the first with Mixup Peak in the background.”
