They make some good points on the blog, such as that it’s helpful to always bring a waterproof flashlight (I think they had a hard portage out that lasted until nightfall) and lots of rope, which they needed for the boat extraction.

Seeing as this happened just after some of the group had gone downstream past the landslide point, they were incredibly fortunate to have all made it out OK!
