The Unstoppable Sportsman

The Unstoppable Sportsman I help anglers with limited grip return to or get started fishing through the Grip n Rip fishing aid. Adaptive equipment, how to videos, apparel and gear.

I also teach people to tie flies without the use of fingers. C6 spinal cord injury

Today marks a day I could have died

Don't drive while drowsy 😅

I'm so thankful to be here. Thanks Heavenly Father for letting me stay

Thank you everyone who has supported me in the chapter that followed this day. I can't name you all because the list of names and stories could fill a book

Thanks mom and dad on the other side - for going through this with me, and doing for me what I couldn't do for myself for as long as I needed it. I'll be forever grateful

I hope I have done what I was supposed to by being spared that day. I have done my best

I hope I get everything done I'm meant to before my time is up

I'm not done yet

Throwback to fishing a mountain stream with this crew

I wish we could fish with a couple of these guys one more time

Great memories

Check this out. From Stephen Smith-

Hydrologistics Montana teamed up this week with George Carpenter Access Trax The Unstoppable Sportsman GripnRip forearm casting brace and Flathead Raft Company for two days of flyfishing for Smallmouth Bass and a very nice Brown Trout. The 18x60 Willie Boats Inc. accessible drift boat easily carried George in his power chair, his fiancée Halley, their 5 month Golden Doodle Doug ( Doug is cool) and my buddy Loyal. You can do the math on the loaded weight of the boat but it was rock solid stable and maneuvered easily with the Sawyer Paddles and Oars V-lam oars.

The vision of Hydrologistics is to bring people together and provide access to river recreation for everyone. So we all float downriver together.

The AccesTrax lets wheelchair users move over soft or broken ground. The GripnRip forearm casting brace held and aligned the fly rod with George’s arm and allowed him to cast a 10 ft, 6 wt fly rod loaded with a heavy sink tip line all day, never tangled never lost a fly.
