7 Days KAYAK CAMPING Pt.2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- @the wonderingelectrician , @Side Trail Adventures and Dirt Dobber join me on a quest to paddle the entire Deep River. 120 miles, 10 dams, long lakes, and rugged terrain stand in the way. This is a special river to me as my 7th great grandfather settled on these banks before the founding of this country. Come along and join us as we embark on the adventure that is the Deep River Expedition. This would be a seven day Kayak Camping journey that flows straight through the heart of North Carolina. This is a trip that did not disappoint.

What a wonderfully patient paddler, instructor, and friend. Keep digging, River King.
Thanks GK!!
For me, I never count getting in and out of a boat as a swim. A swim to me is if you flip over and you have to swim out of the boat.
Thank you Sane...your loyalty will be remembered! 😂
He he
I agree, that was a slip... not a swim :)
Dirt dobbers a legend
Good times
Indeed!
Thanks for inspiring me and others to get out more and enjoy the outdoors. I appreciate your videos as do others. I will build up my stamina and endurance to conquer long trips like these.
Thanks siliilith! The long trips are such an amazing experience. There is nothing like embarking for a long distance trip and just losing yourself in the experience!
Love the way you coach the other guys. You have a great attitude.
If I were 10 years younger, I would be begging to join you on a trip like this one.
Thanks Roger!! I appreciate that!
Not a swim...I don't need a hat. Just fighting for truth and justice 😂
He he!
No swimmer bell for Austin!👍🏼😀
Thank you Tim...it's just common sense! 👍
Is this the drone pilots union here?
@@RiverKingsKayak Yes! New YT Channel coming.. "River Aces" "we make River Kings look good!"😂
Nice! Great journey!! 👍... I'm loving these videos Pete!
thanks JMO!
That’s 100% a swim LOL
For sure!
Nice to see how much your video's have developed. Great job Pete
Thanks a ton Harald!
I vote no swim for Austin. That was a slip. In boxing it wouldn't be ruled as a knockdown, but as a slip. This video kept me on edge of seat on the technical stuff and those damns looked like some work. Great vid.
Right on Ryan! I know Austin will appreciate that! LOL! Thanks for coming along for the adventure!!
I ran the length of the Deep River solo before the pandemic... your trip makes me want to run it again. Great video series, thanks for sharing!
Right on Shaggy!
But we did make some memories!!
😆
This scene likes oneself most, too
Good stuff! "C'mon Bessie!" when you got stuck ;-). Some good little runs in there. As you said, too bad about so many dams...would be great to see that river in its natural state.
For sure!! My guys are itching for a Canada trip...
Great video! Felt like I was there!
Swimmer bell!
Thanks Jen!!! thats what it is all about! thanks for coming along with us.
Another great video
Thanks Gary!
Love your excitement and coaching through the technical parts. New to kayaking in SC. Working up to camping. Appreciate your vids!
Thanks Tim! Kayak Camping is sooo much fun!!
Great Adventure River Kings ! 👍👍😎🎣
Thanks Tyler!
I don't think that can count as a swim- he was already out of the boat.
I love the narrative in these videos- they're so calm and relaxing! Thanks for sharing these journeys with us.
Right on! Thanks Brenda!
Nah...not a swim! He was already out of the boat!
Exactly Laura, thank you!
One foot was in Laura!
Good camping, can't wait for next leg of the trip!
Thanks Patrick!
Ah, I was behind someone this morning that had a sticker and LP for this channel, Neat
Was it a blue f250 or a blue 4runner?
There's a real nice set of rapids underneath old Liberty road bridge in Central falls. But cannot be seen because of the impoundment of Cox lake dam. I've seen the rapids one time in the early 90s when I draw the water down.Central falls gets it's name because it's in between the rapids of Randleman and Cedar falls.
Right on!
All kidding aside, I spent the evening reviewing the archives for a precedent. And there is at least one-Jerry Yang was awarded a swimmer bell when he slipped exiting his boat at the river bank. My ruling, therefore is “DING”!
That's right!
@@RiverKingsKayak the kayaker in question clearly did not complete the process of exiting his watercraft, so the ruling on the River should stand...
I know this instance you're referring to and that was MUCH deeper water....he fell backwards and was submerged. Very different than what happened that day on the Deep.
@@SideTrailAdventures 😆😇😁
Really have enjoyed your videos for a wile now, i bought me a kayak a few mounts ago but due to health problems I could not get out but now my doctors have give me great bill of health so aim gearing up to enjoy the great rivers. Thank you again for the inspiration. OH How do i get a sticker??
Right on Gary! Send a self addressed and stamped envelope with $1 per sticker desired to

Your going to need to come up with a walker bell for this River
LOL!!! I like it!!
Beautiful footage of the river, love Austin is sporting Gatewood's Remote design merchandise. Pete and fellow paddlers on this adventure are making memories and keeping my dream alive of someday paddling my Yukon up in NC. Keep on paddling and keep them swimmer bells down, especially the ones that are maybe a slip and not a flip...
Right on Carla!
I say make up new stickers, and call it a waterslide haha
LOL!
Well...I guess when one sets out on an adventure, an adventure one will have. I love the trips that end up having interesting obstacles to overcome. Makes for some great memories and stories to tell. Great vid!
Thanks K!
Love your kayak camp adventures gr8 footage and what a beautiful river. 👍❤️
Thanks Maxine!!
At 52 min where he fell from his boat
Squeeker sound. Lol
Someone slips getting in or out of the boat.
Just a thought...
Loved your vid
Thanks brother!
Missed the premiere, but shoot what a great part 2! Loved the rapid sections, absolutely gorgeous scenery up there. Keep ‘em comin!
Thanks Out & Back! Will do!
I love these expeditions, and the narrating is second to none brother. Very well done as always! 👍👍
Thanks Billy!
Great video can't wait until next week
Thanks Tony!
I love that dam you guys portaged around in franklinville nc
The dams were so cool. You could feel the history...
@@RiverKingsKayak I grew up right below Randleman in asheboro. That rock store that you guys stopped at that was closed, about made me cry. They had the best food in that area! And just the memories filled me with joy!
As always, I absolutely love it! Don’t think I can tough that long of a trip lol
Thanks a ton Tanya! You could do it!
No swim! He exited the boat and fell.
Im not so sure...One foot still in the boat...action not successfully completed...
I had to rewind it to see it again... I have to say that looked a bit more like a slip than a swim...BUT it did have pretty much the same result, so I am going to say that one could go either way.
But we need a hard decision Brad!
@@RiverKingsKayak Okay... since he did end up wet from the neck down...I will go with a swim.
@@mountainsmoore3657 there we go!
After watching it again On instant replay I have awarded him the most prestigious award the swimmers bell 💥💥💥💥 to all those other un graceful exits from their kayaks we can add one more 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💦💦💦 thanks for another awesome adventure river kings 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
Right on Bobby!!
Beautiful
Thanks S&S!
👍
This is going to be the high light of my weekend 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
Right on Bobby!
absolutely a swim. The subject had not completed the process of exiting the boat, and thus the act of becoming submerged in the water mid-rapid counts as a swim
Right on!!!
When did you see anyone submerged????
@@cobra5scout we all know a kayak swim does not depend on the depth of the water...
@@RiverKingsKayak agree to disagree
@@SideTrailAdventures when exiting a boat, one must complete the venture in control. Falling into the water regardless of depth results in...the bell. Many before you have suffered this fate...you had on leg in the boat wen calamity struck
Kevin is the Tom Brady of River King swimmers-I have to go along with him. Never go against the G.OA.T.!
Rob...don't let him make your decisions for you now
@@SideTrailAdventures 🤣
That's right Rob!
We all know the elusive Yukon is the best boat for these trips, but for those of us that don't have the resources and patience to track one down you ought to share with us which boats you would consider to be runner ups.
My Neck Zoar ran the French Broad 9... Strong Boat...
Dagger Stratos 14.5
Thanks for suggestions
@@joshinfwtx4506 Pedro is probably correct, But I put the Necky through everything it could handle, and Optimus is still hanging on my wall- the Dagger has a Skeg, But- the Necky has a Rudder... 14.5 is the Length you want for a week long unsupported paddle....
There may or may not be videographic evidence of how much weight a Tsunami 145 can still “float” and not create a “swim” situation.
Ding ding,..🤞
Fake votes don't count either
🤣...I have no idea what your talking about sir...have we met🤔🤣🤣
@@thewonderingelectrician 😂😎
I love it!
Is this video gonna be a 5 week release ? If so great a nice Monday night look forward to the wondering sparkys
Not sure yet Peter, I plan to do a video for each day as long as it flows...
Not a swim! Do you ever carry a water filter like sawyer for water? Looks like a fun trip!
He he! I do depending on the river. I have a couple MSR filters as well as a Sawyer and a Steripen.
A trip/slip is not a swim. Excessive use of bell
Agreed Josh!
Ha ha ha!!
Catching up on these. Y’all are definitely earning it. Looks like a great trip so far!
For your tow line with carabiner, is that a 3/32 or 7/64 UHWPME? Just curious.
Thanks Scott! What is a uhwpme?
@@RiverKingsKayak Whoops. I misspelled UHMWPE. It’s that dyneema or spectra line. Whatever y’all use for tow lines on portages, it looks great.
@@scottpiner2149 ahhh, no it is just regular 3/8" rope. Quality rope but not the good stuff you are talking about
When all else fails Paddle
There is that!
lots or dams. Were they all built for mills? I've seen a few stories about dam removal on rivers up in the Northeast. What's the attitude toward removal of these small dams in North Carolina?
They have been removing them slowly though the for doing so has seemed to wain somewhat in the last few years. I'd love to see them gone.
Some of these small dams still generate electricity -- albeit a small amount and are privately owned.
They have not made a profit but the owners are eternally optimistic and as such they remain.
Not a swim more of a spill.
he he!
Speaking from a place of very limited experience, not a swim!
Oh man...
Well deserved lol! *ding*
That's right!
Austin was DQ'd - not a swim. "buttocks must be ejected from boat" - LBM Handbook et al.
Thank you Alan...I feel like common sense makes this a pretty clear decision...what are we even talking about?
Alan is treading on thin Ice...LBM wise....
Standing my ground... or ice...
Wow, maybe he is betting on a STA invite now instead of RK
@@RiverKingsKayak Dang, is it getting cold in here or what?
He swam..🤫
😇😁
👋😎👍
🚨🚨🔔🔔💦💦was it a swim!??? Or did he see Kevinrella's croc and in an attempt to retrieve it for his friend slip and fall into the 💧 🚰???
🤣🤣🤣
So what's the vote?
@@RiverKingsKayak I think its a slip whilst traversing rocks...👍💦
Deserved!!
That's 2 RKB....
@@SideTrailAdventures - I Need Someone Else in my world- Welcome to the Swim Club... At least you're not Kevin with Wilson's Creek....
@@SideTrailAdventures And don't give Me the 3 count.... I knew Him before HE was Royalty.....
@@riverkingbrian9264 13 swims on one lap is hard to beat 😎. @the wonderingelectrician
@@riverkingbrian9264 nothing but love RKB ❤️
Sorry not a swim.
Lol!!
After further video review, Austin was down by contact and will not be charged a swimmer bell...lol
We may need to take this to VAR
Haha, no that wasn't a swim. The body has to be moving with the current or not purposefully attempting to get in or out of the kayak to make this a technical swim. I'm giving a pass on this one - if only to give myself a pass for when this happens to me, lol...
he he he!
Not a swim...
He he!
Not a swim
Interesting!
Not deep enough to swim, so I say nah.
I've seen a lot of shallow water swimmers!
@@RiverKingsKayak Well, I suppose it was deep enough to swim in theory, but it looked more like unintentionally choosing an unconventional place to sit to me. Ha ha.
Sorry, not a swim. When you can sit down on the bottom, your not "swimming" your sitting.
he he, but from the context of kayaking...when you are flat on your back in a river from a failed attempt to exit your boat....well....ding! LOL
@@RiverKingsKayak okay, I'll give you that. And by the way, great video. I really love your kayak camping trip videos. A buddy and I are kayaking the entire length of the Wisconsin. We started at the source and have made about 160 miles so far.
@@markmartello that's awesome!!! Thank you sir! I've never been on that river
@@RiverKingsKayak well come on up! There are plenty of awesome sections. Small creek size sections, large big river sections with sandbar camping, and plenty in between. Unfortunately, most of the whitewater has been drowned under reservoirs. But still lots of great paddling.
Swim
Your vote doesn't count....next
All day!
