The Big River Adventure

I had the pleasure of meeting these guys today that are taking a once in a lifetime adventure on a homemade raft made from recycled materials and trash. Suzuki loaned them a 25hp engine and they banged up their prop pretty bad. They called me and I so happened to have one in stock. They came over and bought it and explained what they were doing. They left St Paul, MN., and are headed to the Gulf on their recycled raft.

Kinda long video, but check out the link below the pics. You can find them on Facebook by searching Recycled Mississippi.

Saw a guy on Dardanelle a couple years ago that was doing the same thing.

interesting , thanks for the post and photos

Nice looking rig for recycled.

I've encountered a lot of canoes and kayaks over the years on the Mississippi making the trip end to end, but don't know if I ever seen a rig like that. Good luck to them!

That is some rig.

4 dudes out on the Mississippi and not one with a pfd on, duh.

Cool story!
