We camp, we hike, we kayak, sometimes funny things just seem to happen to us, and we have two adorable Irish Doodles Telli and Tuck that come along for the ride!

Hiking at Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest
We'd always wanted to go see the trees at Joyce Kilmer in WNC. And this day we finally got to go when our friends Jess Stanley and Krystal came up to visit us at Smoky Mountain Meadows. Come along as we go see the biggest trees in the southeast found in the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest outside Robbinsville, NC.

Whitewater - NOC GAF Kayaking Trip - Higher Flow - 300 Extra CFS - Big Water
มุมมอง 646ปีที่แล้ว
It was the day of the Guest Appreciation Festival put on by the NOC which means for us paddlers it is Upper Nantahala release day! That extra water makes the lower run about 300 CFS bigger. We had an awesome mixed crew of our NC and AL friends. There was laughter, there were swims but in the end it was a great day. Special mention to our shredder Wes, Lorri's son for crushing it out there! Jes ...
Whitewater Rafting and Kayaking the Nantahala - GAF Day 1 - David and Kathleen's Return
มุมมอง 441ปีที่แล้ว
As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus wrote, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” It was Kathleen Lawrence’s grand return to the Nantahala after quite a while & David Wendorf’s triumphant return after recovering from a very serious motorcycle accident. Needless to say, we were all very thankful to share the river together. These folks...
Jes's Dad Goes Whitewater Kayaking for the First Time - Tuckasegee Gorge | Section 3
มุมมอง 489ปีที่แล้ว
When my Dad called and said I wanna do what you've been doing I knew we had to make it happen. He came to join us late August to get a taste of whitewater. The first day we went to the Tuckasegee Gorge aka The Tuck and put in below Dillsboro Drop. It was a low water release roughly around 550-650 CFS however we managed to make it down! I put Dad in my spare AIRE TATER and he had a blast! -Jes A...

missin the videos. hope ya'll aint quit on us!!!
sweet video!
Hey yall! Whats the name of where you ended the trip?
LOSE THE DAMN FISHEYE >>>> Unwatchable!!
First time I ran it. there were signs saying "Danger Water contains carcinogens. Glad they cleaned up the water finllly.
I don’t know why I haven’t watched this sooner. I wanna try ‘m all now. ;)
Loving these videos
This was so much fun ❤ love you guys!!!! "Time to wrestle " 😂
Definitely feels as though i could've handled that differently 😂😂😂 the paddle punch 👊 😂
Great edits!!!!
2 things 1. How many times did halie get out and carry her boat up to do the falls? 2. Jes your maniacal laughter at 14:40 had me 💀
Big Dan!
Fantastic, this looks and feels just beautiful my friend! Forest looks so enchanting!
Digging the green color scheme on the Dagger. Nice video!
That inflatable is pretty cool! What brand is that blue one?
That is the Aire Tater! I absolutely love it!
What does PFD mean?
In this case it means personal first descent. It was my first time down the Middle Ocoee! So PFD ultimately means First time down a river. However in kayaking sometimes PFD also can have another meaning such as if anyone is referring to gear pfd is personal floatation device…the life jacket. Hope that helps! 🤩🤩
@@elevatedlifeadventures thanks! Makes sense now.
This is fantastic, Jes!! So great to see you out there as well as at the NOC! Looking forward to a trip together soon!! Excellent work!!! 💯😊
Dan! THANK YOU!!!! It was a blast getting to hang with you! You just say when and we are there!! 🤩🤩🤩
👍😊🤙@@elevatedlifeadventures
Yurr 💯💯🔥🔥🐐🐐
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it!!! Such a fun day with soo many friends!
😊😊 Thanks Pete!!! It was so much fun getting to see it. Also, can’t wait to get out there.
Beautiful edit, Jes!!
Thanks!! 😊 ❤
Awww and if you love to kayak or mostly surf stuff then I suggest surfing hail hole on the ocoee
I have accidentally surfed it once 😂😂😂
Love fairbey
So cool. My dad loves kayaking in Colorado and on the ocoee in the Olympics section and he loves to surf hail hole 🕳️…
I love the Ocoee! Got an edit I’m working on right now from there last week!
I surfed that the other day
It’s such a sick wave!
We just got bag a couple hours ago from hanging out there
Such a fun spot!
We will be there above pattens run tommarw
Well dang wish we’d seen you!
We live going there we are there rn on vacation my dad is a big kayaker so is my hole family
My dad kayaks there
How cool!!!
Excellent video Halie and Jess, ya'll! Looks ike awesome times...
Thanks Matt! Miss you friend! 🤩🤩🤩
great video! Loved seeing the names of the rapids. We killed it!
Thanks Bon Bon! You crushed it!
Enjoying the music in this one. Well done, Jess! What is Halie paddling? I don’t recognize the green boat.
Thanks Dan! Halie is in the Dagger Indra s/m
Just ordered me a tater
Yassssssssssss! LetsssssGoooo!
im 5-10 180, do u feel the m/l would be more appropriate for my size? average paddling skills. thnx!
Hey there! Max capacity for the S/M is 190. It does put you within range with the S/M. At the top of the range but in it. M/L goes to 250. I’d highly recommend demoing because everyone’s preference and paddling style is unique to them. I know Halie is roughly 5’5 160 and she said it fit her perfect. But I know one of the guys at the NOC is 6ft tall and probably 170 and he paddles the S/M. First looks: it’s A big boat. Swing by the NOC and try one out!!! It’s a phenomenal design! - Jes and Halie
Great edit, Jes!
Where is this?
Thank you!!😊
@@kimamacher on the Nantahala in NC.
It’s the Upper portion of the Nantahala. Not what Dad will be on. 🤙🏼😎
Super video of the take-out, road up to the powerhouse and the put-in. The Hiawassee is very beautiful. Planning on taking a bunch of teenage girls on duckies this year. What’s the best side of the river to run in your opinion? Thanks for your video!
You are welcome. So sorry for the delay. Just now seeing this. The river has many different paths to take. One thing about the Hiwassee is tons of people are normally out there. Certain parts we run the right and certain parts we run the left. It’s kinda hard to explain. One tool I use is American Whitewaters website for rapid descriptions.
I thought of Wynona's big brown beaver. ; )
Yassssssss 🙌🏻 us too!! 😂😂😂
Always fun!!
Isn’t it?! Thank you for watching!! 🩵
beaver.... what an opening! good boatin!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fun video, thank you!
❤❤❤
Thank you !
You bet!
