KAYAK CAMPING on the Greenbrier River
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- Come along for Day 4 of 170 miles in 7 days of kayak camping perfection on the Greenbrier River in West Virginia. We launch in Durbin, WV and continue our journey to Hinton WV. Day 4 was all over the place. Leaving behind Marlinton and subsequent flat stretches in the miles that follow, we enter our favorite 2 days of the trip. The sun played cat and mouse all day leaving us with a feeling that the day just went back and forth. Ghost Light Island saves the day!

incredible places. thanks for showing them. greetings from Argentina!
thank you Sebastian! I would love to paddle down your way sometime!
Another amazing video with exceptional scenery. Sorry to hear about Dirt Daubers dog passing. That really sucks getting news like that when your out on a trip. 🥰 Can’t wait to watch more. I do watch these just to hear your story telling and your laugh.. keep the vids coming.😆
Thanks Trisha!
You are raising the standard for kayak videos! All this footage ya'll got is so crisp n clear! Even your go pros are popping!
Thank you Wes!!
What a way to start my day off!
A cup of coffee and some relaxing footage.
Thank you for letting us take part of this epic trip!
Right on BD!
Great vid as always! Sorry for your loss DD.
Thanks K!
Ordered the smoked sausage Pete. One day delivery. Don’t think they will make it until our next adventure. ❤️
Right on Harold!
Another great stretch! 1 thing I learned on the Mississippi especially with my garmin. It either needs to me clipped to me, the boat or the ridgeline. There is no in-between. Seems like you always risk leaving something at camp, just hope it isnt too expensive! Boy that last campsite, I love hanging right off the river
D.D. God bless ya and your pup.
Right on EwJ!
I keep saying that one was the best yet & here you go again blowing me away.. The drone footage combined with yours & along with your story telling made for a stellar edit of y’all’s adventure. Condolences to DD on losing his dog..
Thanks a ton Halie!
Between the music, scenery, the river and your story telling it was awesome to watch. Especially after a long day and hearing tough news as well .I will probably go through these videos and try and take some notes and maybe do a shorter trip.Thank you guys for documenting . Mr D.D sorry about your loss .
Awesome video .Thank you for sharing y'all's adventures!
Thanks Robyn! Sounds fun!
It’s Sunday already…. Man time flies
Great shots, great music, A+ production Pete. I'm anxious to learn if Operation "Garmin Recovery" proves successful. Dirt Dobber, sorry hear about your dog, that's always a sad time for families.
Thanks Ryan!
Great video series. A few of us are thinking of just doing a weekend fishing trip on the river. The stretch we are thinking is about 25 miles. Do you think doing 12-13 miles a day would be doable with us fishing, cooking, setting up camp, stopping to rest, etc?
Right on! Very doable. You may have to get the miles in spurts and fish where it looks good...too much fishing and it will be tough to get the miles. Fishing is really good up there!
Nice brother!
Thanks R Lutz!
Love paddling in the rain, prefer not to camp in it😎
Agreed!
The rapid after Renick and before Anthony is called “Tumble Rock”.
Thanks David!!! Tumble Rock...good name
Hey Pete, watching these videos of the Greenbrier has got me and a buddy really wanting to get up there. I don't know if we'd be able to swing the entire trip that ya'll are doing, but if we were going to maybe do a 2 night/3 day type of trip....maybe 15-25 mile days....any particular stretch that you'd recommend? I'm sure we could find some campsites based on what you've said, but are there any that can be reserved? Gonna dig around online some too this weekend, but just wanted to get your feedback when time permits. As always, a joy to watch you and the gang on these trips!!
And I forgot to mention that hated to hear about DD's loss of a pup...we've got a 14 yr. old that's doing alright, but his time is drawing near and I always think about that when I'm gone on kayak/backpacking trips. I'm sure with the sense of humor that you and everyone has, DD was in good hands for the rest of the trip!!
Durbin to Marlinton on a 2 nighter
Beautiful scenery, do you ever get visitors into camp at night? I bought a hammock but not sure if i like the closed in feeling. Is there a hammock you know of that stays flat and open?
Only a bear once on the Current River
Check out the Haven Tent!!
Good advice is to get tarp up first then if you need to set up more you atleast have gear under tarp and i always dont mind some kinda of storm i always say makes for better story
Yes sir! That is the only way to do it!
How many old bridges/ rail bridges did you pass. Seems like 6, a lot for such rustic area!
A bunch! The old pylons are really neat
I have always told ppl that a person never runs the same river twice bc its always changing with river levels.
That is for sure Travis!
How did ghost light island get its name?
here is a link to our first trip down this river...if you skip to the end, you will find the answer! LOL.
