On a typical BC summer trip Evan Garcia and I motivated to get an evening lap of Fear Canyon of the Elaho. Fear Canyon is a great big water run a little ways outside squamish,BC. After bombing through some rapids, I handed my prized Canon EOS 7D in my Watershed bag over to Evan to film me. We continued down the canyon. As I followed Evan into a particulary gnarly looking rapid, I saw him drop into a monster hole. I paddled for my life and barely made it out of the same hole. I eddied out below. Evan was getting extremely beatdown. After a long beatdown, Evan swam and I saw my beloved camera float past in my watershed bag. Evan got back in his boat, and we continued down the river hoping to see the bag unharmed floating somewhere. I had almost lost hope when we finished the bottom rapid Evan rounded the corner and there it was, the bag floating in an eddy. We pulled up, grabbed the camera, and on further inspection at the takeout, my camera was unharmed thanks to my Watershed Drybag.
