In this episode of Coffee In a Hangar, meet Jerry Jacques — bush pilot, hunting and rafting guide, lodge owner, and author of No Sequel to Life. Jerry’s adventures blur the line between Alaskan legend and survival epic.

We dive into:

Jerry’s runaway trip to Alaska at 16

Nearly drowning in a Class V+ rapid named Devil's Canyon

Flying illegally for years before getting caught by the FAA — and how that saved his life

A wild story of a gravel bar landing crash… that was intentional

Living alone in a trapper’s cabin — starving — before being rescued and adopted by an Alaskan Native family

The deep cultural and survival significance of salmon in rural Alaska

A death defying rescue in Devil's Canyon with his Helio Courier

Ending up on the front lines in Ukraine

Whether you're into aviation, off-grid survival, whitewater legends, or just jaw-dropping true stories, this one is a must-listen. Jerry Jacques might be the most adventurous man we've had on yet!
