As we paddled through the day we planned to stay upriver from the Palliser Rapid so we could start the day fresh and ready for a big run. Setting up camp for the night we began to notice that the water levels were rising. I marked the water level with a stick and we carried all of our gear up to the high water mark to ensure we would still have everything come morning.

This cloth was inspired by Jackie Zelt is an action adventure photographer located in Nelson BC. She loves capturing the joy that people have in the great outdoors and loves giving back to Mother Nature and the community when and where she can. Jackie can be found in the mountains and anywhere else that puts smiles on peoples faces.

A small portion will be kicked back to the artist and the remainder of the proceeds from this design will go to Funding the Team during the 2022 Competition season.
