As a local and just starting watching this episode watching you kayak into that water that and I'm a local..that's pure bravery lol. We are taught from childhood about the dangers of the snakes 100%..and every single one of us have had a danger noodle moments many times growing up
I actually grew up on reelfoot lake and did not realize the crazy history or the stories that was told on them Banks!!! That is Walnut log. I love taking my kids there..
I call you the kayak man.. I love cemeteries too. ☺️
You certainly have a very unique way of visiting cemeteries and I really enjoy it. I hope you're planning to continue uploading videos. I see it's been a while since you have.
The territories you show in your videos are really lovely. I visit some of the old cemeteries in and around my city. The history you can find is most interesting.
Awesome videos my aunt and uncle have a lake house on reelfoot it’s a very cool place
We pulled up to a bulkhead camp site at the state park. A guy came over to warn us about the water moccasin threat in the lake and how they drop into your boats. We kayak. I thanked him for the warning. When I added that we haven't had any problems with snakes in the Okefenokee or Everglade swamps before, but we'd keep a look out. He grunted and walked away. I don't remember seeing any snakes over the next three days there.
I searched earnestly for a water moccasin.
I'm headed there early in the morning to camp and bass fish. Your content on this lake is outstanding and makes me even more anxious to wanna fish it. Thank you for this awesome video!
I live in Tiptonville right on the lake. I live on the road behind Boyette’s Dining Room
have been passing by it every day this weekend
Nicely done! That’s one area of the country I’ve never visited.
Thank you! Beautiful part of the country. I'm planning to return in January to see the American Bald Eagles which spend winter months hunting on the lake.
Excellent video! I’m from Union City and love this area so much.
Beautiful share, delicious footage. I wouldn't recommend a kiak in Spring when the Water Moccasin is in mating season. They literally are highly active and can be aggressive, as they are confident and well equipped with toxic venom.
Long Sleeve Shirt, light weight cotton materials, and a total coverage, a thin cotton Hajib fir my face, are my protection attire, and Vick's Salve is my repellent choice for the insects.

Thank you. The mosquitos were brutal.
Awesome video...great job!
I really love this channel. Your videos have been really insightful for my genealogy research in middle Tennessee. I am trying to find my great grandfather's grave in Franklin County, TN. But my research online + in the county library has come up empty. I understand gravesites can just get lost over time. But his father and grandfather (who were important town figures) have no known gravesites either. Would you have any insights for me? Is it a lost cause? I'm hoping there are other research resources that just aren't on my radar yet. In any case, thank you for sharing these videos with us!
I'm a geophysicist. And one of the first things we learn is about the new Madrid earthquake. So this video really caught my eye. Great information. We do cemetery wandering and historical videos ourselves.
you will have a lot more cemeteries to visit now that covid has hit, new covid series coming up?
I've lived near Reelfoot most of my live. Only when rutting (mating), in late spring, is when you see snakes acting aggressively like chasing boats or falling out of trees. I don't advise perusing the snakes at that time of year
I couldn't hear the beavers, but the birdsong was really nice!
Reelfoot Lake is an overwintering habitat for thousands of migratory birds. I'm planning on making another visit this winter.
@@TheCemeteryDetective It's a beautiful and interesting area. I'm sure a follow-up visit would be most interesting. There were certainly a lot of local Reelfoot Lake organizations who had vids on my feed when I watched yours.
does anyone know why he hasn't posted a video in a long time?
You should come to Westhill Cemetery in Dalton Ga. We have a confedate section with over 400 confedate and a lot of history.
I could spend hours out at Reelfoot Lake.
Hope all is well. Haven't seen a new video in awhile
Should’ve looked at camp beureguard in water valley kentucky while you were here
7:49 it’s a beaver hut, not a dam but still great video!
Snakes are Venomous not poisonous. 🤷 Good video though.
Easy to lose your place on that lake, everything looks the same!
