Wilderness instructor makes a quick fire with 2 small sticks , both from a coastal redwood tree, which is not the ideal material for this type of ignition method.

Slip and Slide falls

Bruce does a clean line 8' drop off slip and slide falls. He makes it look easy (because of a good line) but most first timers get pushed into the wall at river right and you can get pinned there too, as the force of the water is pushing river right. So you want to boof left and paddle hard left right after you drop.

Yeah this was a good day to do Pauley falls the flow was 280 cfs or something close. The week before it was 360 and a boater did this in an open Pyranah Canoe with air bladders strapped in and a totally open deck, I wished I had my camera then!
