Won't have time to watch it all right now, but it looks interesting.
What part do you consider interesting? The crazy Russian paddlign gear?(I've heard of empty plastic pop or milk jugs tied together as float bags)
Or the notion of "a glorious way to die"? I could see their point. Die doing what you love doing, or grow old and die?
What I find interesting is where the hell you found this lol
later

Really interesting video.  A little bit of insight into life in the former Soviet Union.  A look at some seriously full-on rivers we'll never likely paddle.  A bunch of brave/crazy Siberians who raft said rivers with home-made rafts and PFDs.  A lot more male nudity than I was hoping for.

They REALLY botched their line trying to avoid that strainer.  I criticized the one guy for dropping his paddle, forgave him when I found out he broke his leg, and then sang his praises when he got his paddle back mid-rapid.  Impressive stuff.
