ALso, son says he couldn’t have faced his family…that was the first thing he said recalling not seeing his father come up from the water…he has a bit of an issues with being self absorbed. Would hope this humbled him and didn’t seem like it at the opening when he said with intense inflection he’d “Still” not go on a guided tour…he could learn something but noooooooo.

Atleast let your dad keep the knife for bushcraft if that was supposed nto be his plan. It was just pure damn luck and a miracle they survived.

As a pilot, it gives me goosebumps when the sound of that Cessna comes roaring over the river!

What an amazing story of the depth of love between a father and son. I could mentally follow Blake along with his father, and then especially when he had to leave him to get help. I knew how I would have felt had I been forced into a decision like that. I think I would have gave my father one of the biggest hugs I ever gave him, and have to wipe the tears from my eyes as I departed and watched him as I walked away. The suspense of this story was incredible, and when you realize that it's something that really happened to a father and son, and not fiction it grips you. The look on his father's face when the helicopter pilot aroused him was wonderful and then when they finally reunited, wow, such an amazing story!

As life progresses and you start to age, your kids suddenly become adults and you’re not prepared for it, then they leave you and forget about you bc they’re busy leading their own lives and you’re no longer a major part of their world.

As a uni student I would sometimes go a couple of weeks without contact from my family. My parents and I are immigrants so I very rarely see my grandparents for very short periods of time. It’s a relationship that you have for life but you aren’t going to be with each other all the time.

"How'd you know I was here? .. "I asked your son." Yea, that got me.

So happy you both survived, it was obviously not your time! The Alaskan Country is very wild and rough, someone has to know "exactly" what they are up against! Grizzlies are the biggest fear! No more adventures for you two in unknown territory!

The love and bond they have is so beautiful and moving.

Their relationship is so beautiful and heart warming, sadly we don’t see that very often nowadays

I am so impressed with the love Blair has for his father. I couldn't help but cry with Blair after they had been rescued. I hope they spend many more years together.

It always astounds me how little thought and effort these adventurers put into disaster/survival preparedness in these shows. It is so important to have some sort of emergency plan, a worse case scenario survival kit you can have on your person at the very least. Emergency gps beacon, some flares if you can, space blankets for warmth and signalling, a tin with hooks, fire starter, paracord bracelets, whatever you can keep on your person. I spent time in the Alaskan bush as a kid, we had to take a survival class and pass survival and swimming tests to graduate. It's no joke up there.

I was realllllly on the edge of my seat for this one. Father and son is so special and strong bond just an amazing story!

Boy these two are a couple of hard headed individuals, especially the son. Blake to his dad: Dad, I want to give you a rafting trip for your birthday, but it's a rafting trip designed for my maximum enjoyment and there will be no compromises to my plan. So, let's both pretend this is a gift for you, but we both know it's really a gift from me, to me. You're just a token attendee. Whatta you say? Want to come along? Dad to son: Not really, but if you won't compromise, I guess I'll go.

But at least they both had plenty of water to drink.

No doubt! I am a firm believer in overkill when it comes to preparedness. When I set out nine years ago on a three week Western U.S. trek with my nephew I took so much stuff. Ended up using less than half but had the peace of mind that if anything happened we could survive several weeks if need be.

all you people just make assumptions without knowing the full context. You’re all so quick to talk down on the son, thinking everything on this is precise or show the entire context. The son obviously wasn’t cautious in terms of having all the necessary equipment, but he obviously didnt want anything to happen to his father. If he never took the risk of going out he wouldn’t of been spotted by the plane, so atleast he took responsibility and went out looking for help. You think he was eager to leave and walk out in the wilderness between a bunch of predators and leave his dad alone? No. just how yall say he should’ve listened to his 65 year old dad, his dad is no dummy. If he went it was cause he wanted to. Im so sick of people who are actually serious and not trolling wanting to act like they know what kind of man the son is based off a show

I’ve traveled alone in wilderness canoe country for 20 years. I carry a floatable waterproof personal locator beacon that is on me at all times. When they didn’t show up in 1 week the first place they’ll look is down the river. Make camp by the river and do the best you can to scavenge for food. Take a walk along the river to see if any gear can be found. They had water. Stay together to keep a fire going and fend off wildlife together. It’s called base camping.
