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!
