Just back from an 8 day trip on the Kitamat,Did some guided drifting, no sign of any log jams.They must have went further up river,beyond the everyday drifters.When travelling remote waters,you absolutely must wear a floatation device,no if ands or buts.I did a lot of canoeing on nfld rivers and have been in the water a few times, the shock and panick is instant, no time for reaction,the water unforgiveing,the life jacket will save you.
