    TH-cam is so awesome. I can sit here in my easy chair, in front of my big screen with the fan blowing, great headphones, a bathroom ten feet away and I'm floating down the river. Love the cam view on this Robert, really feel like I am right there on your hat!

    I have done short kayak and raft floats in rivers, lakes, and harbors in California and Alaska. Great fun. Have owned kayaks and a large rubber raft at points in my younger days. Glad you are enjoying the float. Wonder though about wearing leather boots? Maybe some water shoes? Would be helpful if you had to get out of the kayak on rocks to push through.

    Pretty cool video. But maybe you should swap out jeans and your work boots for shorts and flip-flops? If you flip in a kayak that gear is going to weigh you down a ton to swim back to shore

    OK, a new proposal: somebody start up a new go fund me or send Robert some River Shoes, Swim Shorts or Khakis, Safety Goggles, Safety Gloves, Mask, and Asbestos Safety Suite. If you have watched both of his channels over time you know he needs it all, not to mention Carabiner and Safety Rope, but don't worry about the Safety Harness, he has one. In the meantime, getting him to use it is not likely seeing how he has more pistols than Aaron or myself and the corrective comments makes him feel that you really care. Besides this boy did grew up drinking from a Garden Hose. Need I say more.

      Yes - we passed a couple homes or cabins

    • @tashasmith6179
      @tashasmith6179 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's definitely not untouched. Many people live up and down that river just as long as it's not government owned for parks and recreation. Or wild life refuge / association. The country music singer, Luke Bryan, is from around that area. He has a song, I can't remember the name but the flint river name is in it. Something about fishing the flint and having a catfish dinner 🤣🤣

    @reesedaniel5835 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wearing jeans and boots to kayak is not the best idea. Ya'll need to come to TN and kayak on the crystal clear Shoal/Factory creek with plenty of mini rapids and fun/diceyness. Flint River is a cake walk. I'd fall asleep on that.
