Tech specs, promo materials, awards, photo galleries…these are well and good, but what really makes the SylvanSport GO adventure trailer<\/a> truly shine are the real life stories. It’s the tales of expeditions, outing, and trips that show what the GO<\/a> is really made of.<\/p>\n

Eric Albert is a\u00a0GO<\/a> customer, dealer, and avid paddler in western Canada. His latest exploit was as the expedition leader of a paddling trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho. Here is the account of his journey down the Middle Fork with a GO<\/a> trailer:<\/p>\n

“Ever since I received my GO<\/a> in 2011, I have been using it for everything from moving furniture, to getting building supplies, to transporting garbage to the dump, and of course transporting my boats and gear to the river’s edge. Each time, the GO<\/a>, in its different configurations, has outperformed, and exceeded my expectations. Quite honestly SylvanSport <\/a>should have named it the “Mule” instead of the GO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I primarily use my GO<\/a> for riversports and camping. With two young sons, both at the age where they need their ‘toys’ as well, it has become ever so difficult to find the space required to tote the gear, boats, and bikes to our destinations. Without the GO<\/a>, it simply would be a very difficult proposition.<\/p>\n

A couple years ago, I had the distinct opportunity to paddle the Selway River in Northern Idaho, which required me as the expedition leader, to transport a huge load of gear and folks over a mountain pass, treturous terrain, and through tight riverside road passages in order to get to the put in. This journey was a true test for the GO<\/a>…and it out performed all my expectations. To learn more about that expedition, check out the SylvanSport Blog article<\/a> (https:\/\/sylvansportblog.com\/2012\/06\/an-epic-western-canadian-go-adventure\/<\/a>) I wrote for that trip!<\/p>\n

Now…a repeat, with the same trailer. The Middle Fork of the Salmon, also in central Idaho.<\/p>\n

This time however, I’d be transporting more gear, in fact…the entire expedition would be supported by my little Toyota Tacoma, and my SylvanSport GO<\/a>…yesh!<\/p>\n

A raft expedition is a very gear intensive proposition, more so than any other wilderness \/ outdoor expeditionary exploit. Gear is usually heavy, awkward, and difficult to pack. Coolers and waterproof boxes are stuffed with hundreds of pounds of food and ice, and personalized gear. Rafts never quite roll up the same as they did when they came from the manufacturer, and they are most often the bulkiest items to place in your tickle trunk. Thankfully, with the GO<\/a>, the problem of getting the gear to the put in, and picked up at the take out is no longer a logistic to worry about.<\/p>\n

All in all, the GO <\/a>transported in one fell swoop:<\/p>\n
