Videographer
Cade has been guiding for 18 years (ten on the Futalkeufu) and running expeditions since he was 6. He has worked as a guide on the Middle Fork of the Salmon, Tuolumne, Alsek and Rogue. Internationally he has done expeditions in Patagonia, Peru, Tibet and Quebec. At 9 he began paddling an inflatable kayak down the class 4 Magpie River in Quebec and shot video to sell to the guests. The following year he was on the first exploration of the Lakes of Patagonia in Chile, featured in National Geographic Adventure Magazine. In 2003 he became active in the fight to stop multiple dams slated for the lower Magpie River in Quebec, testifying at government hearings and showing a video he shot that contradicted the developers claims that the River’s most impressive and soon to be flooded rapid was not runnable. His Magpie footage of a conservation expediton with Robert Kennedy Jr. was shown across Canada on CBC Television. In 2010 he shot video on the first raft and commercial descent of Peru’s Yavero River. In 2014, he coordinated the safety for a first descent on the Rio Ventana. His video work can be seen on the Earth River site. Cade is an avid kayaker and has run multiple rivers throughout the U.S. and Chile.
