    When our worldly bonds are thinner there expands the great beyond to ponder. While meditation akin to prayer allows ourselves to become aware of our place in time and space and snare, proceed with care. I'm gleaning tidbits here, thank you and rock steady.

    It was great seeing you and Wavy again. Wavy is so lucky to have you as her caregiver. I give you a lot of credit for roughing it like that on those road trips. I'm at the age where I can't do that anymore I can't sleep on the ground and need a decent motel room to get out of the elements. I'm so glad you're all safe and in one piece. Knowing how crazy it is on the roads no matter where one travels these days. God bless and take care XX

      I know what you mean.
      Army trained me to sleep anywhere and eat anything as a young man. I used those skills many times on hunting and hiking trips.
      Now that I am in my 60's I need a little more "luxury" to be comfortable.
      It actually made me uncomfortable seeing him sleeping on the ground, in the open, under threat of rain.

    You mentioned the ICECO fridge/freezer you received. It appears to be the same one I own which we discussed when you interviewed me last year in May. My unit is the VL65 and I've used it since 2020. I'm quite happy with it.
    My recommendation is to not power the fridge with a solar generator. I used the Bluetti AC200 which died last fall and Bluetti has since sent me a replacment (AC200P). I find there is too much internal loss even with no load with power on. In testing I find much better performance wired directly to a Li-ion 12v battery recharged by solar and perhaps your outboard with an battery to battery adapter. The solar generators work well if you need 110 AC power, but otherwise there is too much waste internally due to the inverter penalty.
    Also, I see you are getting started with drones. You may find helpful information in the recent "Equipment" video I posted on "Drones" used on my trips.
    Hope the trip goes well for you.

      I sent you an email with my phone number and other info. Call any time that is convenient for you. Like you I'm trying to catch up with videos. I still have about half my fall trip to Voyageurs NP to complete but should finish before my first spring trip.

    Maybe I missed it. Why the scooter and not the TW200 on this trip? Smoother faster?

    • @backwatersandbackroads
      @backwatersandbackroads  9 місяців тому

      The TW is a little too long of wheel base to fit across the front of the barge. Plus...I'd rather let a 500 dollar scooter get drenched with salt water for 8 months than my beloved TW200;)

      They're everywhere. So many places to just duck in. Scooter Tramp Scotty is a pro. I knew some of it before meeting him, but he has it dialed in big time.

    I'm glad you took some time off for yourself. I was worried about your absence, but it's ok, now. Listening to you pontificate about gamblers and addicts, and those who profit from them, as well as your Jack Kerouac relapse at the church-- all reminds me that you are more intelligent than you like to let on. This is less common than you might suppose...especially on UA-cam. I am glad you are back, Brenton, and Gravy as well.

      Hi Jim :) intelligence is such a moving target, isn't it? Life is going so fast...and I feel like I wasted so much of it on "education" and chasing females.

    Ive been across Nickajack lake near Chattanooga on the way to Huntsville AL, many times. Id be scared to death to ride a scooter on that road. Hope to visit with you in NC around Morehead City. Ill bring Wavey treats and some NC goodies for Wavey dad.

    Britton, didn't that painting of Wavey Gravy that you have in the shanty boat, come from an artist in Pine Mountain GA? I was wondering if you looked her up while you was there?

    • @backwatersandbackroads
      @backwatersandbackroads  9 місяців тому

      She was from Georgia, but I lost track of her. It's been a few years. She was a young girl just headed off to college. I wonder
