Have been using a groover this summer?  Have you cleaned one....or need to clean one?  This episode is a Re-issue of our "History of the Groover" episode from 2021.  For many overnight river trips, the groover has become as common a tool as the PFD.  Where did this groover come from, and why is a portable river toilet called a groover.  This episode finds the people who were there 50 years ago when the need for the groover emerged, and when the groover itself was created.  EPISODE SPONSORSSelway Fabrication WholesumPromo Code: RIVERRADIUSInstagramEPISODE GUESTSHelen HowardDesert River Kayak, Canoe and Float TubesJeff Ingram“Hijacking a River”“Lifetime Achievement Award”Steven Carothers“Steve Carothers”LuVerne Grussing“Guest Opinion: Congress must reauthorize Land and Water Conservation Fund”MORE CONTENT“Picking the Best River Toilet” from RiverBent.“They call me Groover Boy” by Kevin Fedarko, a story of carrying the groovers on commercial river trips in the Grand Canyon. “Your guide to the Groover” by OARS. THE RIVER RADIUSWebsiteEmailFacebookInstagram
