  Wow ! I am shocked they took this on. Amazing ! Did they not employ poling techniques, during all the up river travel?

  I was not quite two years old that Christmas of 1966. I remember seeing old photos at my grandmother's house of all my cousins who are now in their 60s and 70s. When I look at this family it brings back memories about things used to be.

  Thanks for posting all of these videos about Verlen Kruger! I've retraced some of his travels. Certainly not all! I had never heard his voice until now. He seems like a really nice guy and much more humble than I had expected.

  What we have here are silent moving pictures of a family eating breakfast, opening gifts, and holding conversations on Christmas morning in 1966. Though one family member, apparently Father, heralds the arrival of a new tape recorder, he obviously did not use any audio capabilities the machine may have offered. For indeed this KZread presentation is silent; it contains no narration or sound.

  and just think some of the people in this vid were born around the turn of the century. just imagine all the changes they'd seen in society and technology in their lifetimes. even the soundless 8mm camera this was filmed on would've seemed spaceage to them (and was, believe it or not, state of the art at that time). love this old footage i don't care who's family it is although inevitably i find myself wondering what ever became of thes folks.

  Thanks for uploading! I watched this with Clint a couple years ago. Super neat to hear his commentary. Apparently, the cameraman made them re-enact the scene where they capsized on the Rat River, and they lost even more gear in the re-enactment. Clint still has his homemade paddle made from a pole-vaulting shaft.
