Picture 6 five gallon cans of fuel mix and a months supply of provisions plus two men and and camping and fishing equipment in a 16ft skiff. Was this from a Ripleys believe-it-or-not column?

I imagine they bought most of their gas, if not their grub, en route!

There's a similar trip that a couple of DisPro's made down the MacKenzie River - same sort of trip - 1600 miles in the late 1920's.
AND what's better, about 10 years ago, the trip was repeated by a couple of stalwart DisPro owners. I know one of these lucky sods - wha a trip
They bought their gas en route in both cases - although they had oars too
