A DailyMail.com team tracked Dan Bailey, 38, and his wife Kascie, 36, on Saturday to the remote Middle Fork Salmon River which sits in the middle of the 2.5m acre Frank-Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho where the couple returned from a long-planned wilderness vacation.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Dan Bailey, 38, said he had been oblivious to the furor caused by the video until Thursday when he found a message at a ranger station telling him to phone his parents due to an emergency.
