Guy: This group had always been on rivers, mostly in the Ozarks. But they got into these big western trips after taking commercial trips on the Grand Canyon, saw how the guides operated and thought, “hey, we can do that.”

HCRB: What kind of gear should a first-timer invest in?

Guy: A PFD (personal floatation device) to keep your head above water and dry bags for your gear, nobody likes a wet sleeping bag. Some river reading and running skills also never hurt anyone!

HCRB: How accessible is the Green River?

Guy: Many sections require a permit, some are via a lottery while others are first come first serve. The water itself depends on the section and the season. There is everything from whitewater to pretty flat water.

HCRB: What about those of us around Kansas City, where is a good place to start a water adventure?

Guy: We are very fortunate to have such a fantastic river system in the Ozarks, right next to all of our climbing, camping and hiking that we all do down there anyway.

Two regular dudes, who love the outdoors, are putting together a feature length documentary focusing on an eclectic group of friends rafting down the majestic canyons of the Green River. The documentary is called River Ties.

In this 3-part interview, Guy and Matt allow us to get to know them ~~a little bit~~ a whole lot better. In Part 1, these gentlemen bare their souls and share their innermost thoughts. Part 2 focuses on the River Ties project itself and the logistics and funding (and why the project is on Indiegogo). And we wrap everything in Part 3 with Matt and Guy sharing their river expertise and tips to help you decide if you want to embark on a river adventure.

Meet Guy Giamo-McClung and Matt Kocourek.

HCRB: With 5 adjectives, describe yourself.

Guy: Boisterous, jocular, lithe, plucky, ginger.

Matt: Tenacious, amiable, ambitious, old-soul, lean.

HCRB: If money were no object and you hosted a premiere party for River Ties, what food are you serving and what two bands are playing music?

Guy: Burgers and brats and right now, probably Alt J and Ellie Goulding.

Matt: We will even add the sand to your burger or brat to get the true river experience.

HCRB: Okay, so really, when and where is the premiere party and should we bring hummus?

Guy: The premiere will be at the Springfield Brew Co in February though we’re anxious to find a venue for a showing in KC! Hummus is never inappropriate.

HCRB: Did you drink from the Green River?
