Episode 698 is LIVE! Join us on the edge of the Selway River for an interview with Doug Proctor, co-owner of Selway River Adventures, a wilderness rafting outfitter based in Stanley, Idaho.

With his partners he operates under one of the extremely limited commercial permits on the Selway River, a nationally designated Wild and Scenic river flowing through the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Trips are typically five to six days long, weaving technical whitewater with solitude and natural beauty few river runners ever get to experience.

In 1977 Proctor began his professional guiding career, leading whitewater rafting trips commercially on the New Riverand the Gauley River, two of the eastern United States’ premier whitewater destinations. Over the next 35+ years he built extensive experience as an outfitter in West Virginia, guiding trips through challenging Class III and Class IV waters and cultivating deep skills in river stewardship, guest experience, and wilderness logistics.

His love of rivers and adventure didn’t stop in Appalachia. His guiding has taken him to Grand Canyon, Alaska, Chile, Costa Rica, Idaho, and numerous rivers in both the eastern and western United States.

Episode 690 is out in the wild 🎧🏔️🐕

We recorded this one in the Grand Canyon and then took a hard left into Alaska’s winter legend. Meet John Wood, an Alaska musher with dry humor, honest trail wisdom, and four finishes on the Iditarod trail to Nome. He even called his own results an “unparalleled record of mediocrity” and still answered “hell yes” when asked if he would do it again. That energy is the whole episode.
