Kern River Outfitters is undisputedly the best rafting company out in Kern River with the best guides that make the time memorable. I, also, had Patrick as a guide when I went rafting and he is totally a down to earth guy. Also, the content in this page is amazing, I love the narration done by you guys.
Beautifully filmed and expertly edited. I love all the different perspectives and it is nice to see the drone at work again. I think this may be the most fun episode to watch so far.
This video was so much fun to watch. I was wishing that I was out there, too. You guys really know how to put a good story together of fun times out in the outdoors. The way it should be! FUN!!
You guys should try raft backpacking. Just raft down the river, then each night find a nice spot along the banks to set up camp. I did a week long trip on the Rogue River in Oregon, one of the best weeks of my life
This is a great piece for Kern Rafting, looks like an amazing full service rafting trip! The Kern krew seem absolutely friendly, inviting, and totally chill. Loved the meaty not so little short guys, I can't wait for Mt. Whitney! When is that coming? Andrew - Try a Michelda. A mexican drink with - Clamato, Modelo or Cornoa or any other mexican beer (better with modelo) - lots of fresh lime juice - salt - valentina (hot sauce) - and tajin. Absolutley perfect refreshing drink and defintley better than a bloody mary.
You can't have more fun than this! I need those fun people in my life. I'm always looking forward to exciting & thrilling AA episodes where there's none other than the greatest. Such nostalgic times. Literally enjoying the skits & conversations of every moment I watch you guys! Thank you for making my days just that much better.
Finally got around to watching this! How fun! Most enjoyable and so expertly done! Wish I could give it a hundred likes. It was especially enjoyable for me as I live in the Kern River Valley. Wish I'd known you were here!
Growing up in So.CA. my family camped on the Kern about a dozen times before I was in school, all I could remember was the small beaches and big boulders.... (Just like I remember) That was in the early 60's. Thanks....
I'm very late to the party here but I love your channel and this video is a bit of a cherry on top for me, on a personal level. My great grandfather owned a mine on Greenhorn Creek, so it was nice to see you guys in the area. It brings me so much joy that so many people enjoy the area he put so much of his life and heart into.
That outfitters sure does create a memorable experience. The guides have a "surfer" attitude that is quite entertaining. This type of variety creates good flavor for your channel. The clamato beer is a classic mexican beer cocktail called a "michelada". It's exactly like a beer bloody mary. Premade ones are not great, but properly made ones are fantastic. I don't think they taste clammy at all. I love how open minded Andrew is about weird flavors.
I got the notification this video was released while at work, so pumped to get to watch it! I share your videos with my kids, I know the 9 year old is gonna love this!
Very Nice! Best Company on the Kern River. So good to see some footage from the BIG 2017 year without rafts in the trees, boats flipping, or customers swimming for miles. Great video, class act, and perfect song!
What a GREAT adventure video!!!! My wife and I live in Kernville, a block away from the river.... we are so glad all of you had a blast and a little taste of adventure and freedom on the river we love! Hopefully you and your friends will be back one day soon! As a matter of fact, the Kern River is running FAST/ GREAT again with all of the rain we've had here, and we haven't even begun the snow runoff!
Many years ago I went white water rafting in the Smokies with a group of friends and it was such an awesome experience! I need to do it again and try to convince my family go with me. But my day was only an 1 hour river ride, not an extensive camping trip. Looks like A LOT of fun.
4:16 The “hey cow” as an Iowan who grew up most of my life in the country and having cows in my neighbors field behind us. Yep we had some fun with them 🤣
I used to go to Kern every year white water rafting with my Girl Scouts, and we loved it. We havent been for a few years now... Ive done the upper and done this 2 day trip, as well, good memories !!
Great one, fellas! Y'all have come far from when I first became aware of AA when you posted your initial project on Bushcraft UK. Keep up the awesome work.
I thought of you guys while I was shopping in REI in Burbank today. 😀 I'm itching for an adventure soon! And I've been living by something simple you guys said in one of your videos, "Go with the flow." So simple yet actually so necessary in my life... a gentle reminder to let go and let everything fall into place. Thanks again for the videos!
Thanks for another great video ; like the look of white river rafting but couldn't do it myself but enjoyed it and the songs and food looked so good ! 👍🏻
Another great video guys. I've done almost exactly similar white water rafting on a grade 5 river close to where I live here in NZ. The overnight stop with BBQ and booze was really fun, and the next morning a bit rough. :-)
friggen awesome video! PROPS for taking a DLSR on that thing. lol. Makes me wanna go kayak again soon! Very well done considering how hard that must have been to film. great job dudes!
Regarding your analysis at the end… Right on. I had a similar experience of easy-going humanity I am much shorter rafting trip in Montana. The type of folks who gravitate towards that stuff are indeed, as you asserted A special kind of strong and yet easy-going person.
Glad to see you guys together! Will we be getting a video on Mt Whitney? Please to more while you are in Sierra it is a stunning place! I recommend Sequoia or Redwood National Park. Sequoia is in Sierra and Redwood along the coast! Redwoods/Sequoias satisfy me a lot!
Hi guys the kern river is a wonderful place I live about 20 minutes drive from the mouth of the canyon and go there all the time I have not yet gone rafting but I will this next year as long as the river is high enough it has been low the last few years, the fishing is good, look up kern river tea cups, and the slide you may missed this but there is always next time Thomas may do some exploring to find a fun time for you all next time your in CA THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. JoP
absolutely awesome video, this is going on my bucket list ....omg....blew me away....wonderful editing and thank you for sharing....also quick question, was this the Lower Kern trip
TheSkyzepplin1 yes. That would be the lower kern. Upper kern has better rafting imo but it is more dependent on what kind of snowpack we get in the winter whereas the lower depends on what is let out the lake. Well I take that back they both depend on the snowpack lol.
Greetings from bakersfield. Nice video but you should come back and try this again spring when the flows are up. Can be extremely dangerous depending on what kind of snowpack we get during winter. Was bad for about 10 years straight but we had a very good winter last year so the flows sustained all the way through summer.
Thanks for watching! Haha, I don't know if we're good enough paddlers for anything more intense than that! Have you done any rapids above level 5 or anything? It sounds like a lot of fun, but from what we've heard it's for more experienced white water rafters. Cheers! -Andrew

One of your top 10 videos thank you for bringing us along
This looks like heaven on earth!!! Wow it looks like you guys got some sun out there.

Seems like a great group of people were with you! Good adventure, good food, and good company! Thanks for sharing!
Can't get enough of your music and video editing skills, you guys have got bags of talent, where is your Tv show already!
Enjoyed watching this. The music is phenomenal! Thank you all for sharing this experience with all of us.

Kern was the first place I camped when I first moved to Los Angeles. I love it there!
+Christopher Abbey Awesome! It's a beautiful place, and the stars are awesome out there
Your best video to date! Loved it and made me reminisce on my time white water rafting years ago.
This was one of your best films yet! Thank you for showing us this adventure.
I totally love all your videos... Kern river is our next adventure
Finally got around to watching this! How fun! Most enjoyable and so expertly done! Wish I could give it a hundred likes. It was especially enjoyable for me as I live in the Kern River Valley. Wish I'd known you were here!
I love that if you go to the Kern River Outfiters page their "What to expect" videos are basically just recut versions of your video! Really fun.
Wow it always amazes me to see some epic adventure like this, the rapids look like paradise for the day
Growing up in So.CA. my family camped on the Kern about a dozen times before I was in school, all I could remember was the small beaches and big boulders.... (Just like I remember) That was in the early 60's. Thanks....

Pat was under the weather = Pat drank waaaaay to much the night before. haha. Another great video guys, looked like that guide service was top notch!
WOW! Now that is a white water rafting trip beyond belief!! And with a full spread of delicious food . 😋
So good!! That looked like an incredible journey, with your usual, creative, funny, beautiful AA lens on it. Great job, guys.
+Jim Maltese Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. It was definitely one of our most action packed journeys, haha
Never had a river guide I didn’t love. KRO looks like a great outfit.
You guys seriously have serious editing and narrative skills!
+David Der Shucks, thank you! Glad you liked the video :) -Andrew
You guys make amazing videos! Everything is perfect! I love how everyone works so well together!

Thanks for another great video ; like the look of white river rafting but couldn't do it myself but enjoyed it and the songs and food looked so good ! 👍🏻
A much different adventure from hiking but very awesome and thrilling.
Had some great times on that river in a kayak.. flipped and the water was low so got dragged on some racks and tore up my knees... loved it though!
Thanks for making great content! You guys should really try whitewater kayaking. It’s a bunch of fun
wow, what an awesome two day trip! Would love to do that.
Yay! Tons more content! Thanks guys!
Life would be worth living to do this again. Damn that is good stuff
That front flip was epic. Way to send it
Great video! We are headed there this weekend! Can’t wait!! Love your guys channel!
I’m going rafting with them in July and can’t wait! Awesome video guys!
The best yet!!
Beautiful great videos guys thanks!
My Other dream white water rafting!
Another great video guys. I've done almost exactly similar white water rafting on a grade 5 river close to where I live here in NZ. The overnight stop with BBQ and booze was really fun, and the next morning a bit rough. :-)
Looks like fun!!!
amazing as always
The song at The End was entertaining. Nice vid
That is the life right there
friggen awesome video! PROPS for taking a DLSR on that thing. lol. Makes me wanna go kayak again soon! Very well done considering how hard that must have been to film. great job dudes!

Looks like an awesome trip! Rather envious. 😢
Excellent video! The surrounding landscape was gorgeous.
What an amazing experience!
Glad to see you guys together! Will we be getting a video on Mt Whitney? Please to more while you are in Sierra it is a stunning place! I recommend Sequoia or Redwood National Park. Sequoia is in Sierra and Redwood along the coast! Redwoods/Sequoias satisfy me a lot!
Oh yes, definitely a video of Mt. Whitney - out in a couple of days, in fact! Cheers :) -Andrew
Nice foodtrip.....with some rafting. :p
Hi guys the kern river is a wonderful place I live about 20 minutes drive from the mouth of the canyon and go there all the time I have not yet gone rafting but I will this next year as long as the river is high enough it has been low the last few years, the fishing is good, look up kern river tea cups, and the slide you may missed this but there is always next time Thomas may do some exploring to find a fun time for you all next time your in CA
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. JoP
Wow damn. I've been rafting before, but not like this! I wanna do this tour some day O:
Cool episode :) Thanks for sharing and editing.
That guide is so cool
thanks guys
Great video. I missed you guys traveling to th evenue.
Awesome gents and ladies
absolutely awesome video, this is going on my bucket list ....omg....blew me away....wonderful editing and thank you for sharing....also quick question, was this the Lower Kern trip

This is so cool adventure
This look like so much fun 🌊🙂
@10:12, I was surprised at how that it took adress someone going overboard in the middle of a class 4 rapid
Loved the otter rolls 😂
Great job....love the video
Need to plan a summer trip 🙂
+AdventureArchives Head to the Gauley in southern West Virginia if you want some white water!
My favorite part was Thomas saying, “I’m the Captain now” when everyone fell off!
Awesome!
At 10:15 someone clearly falls out of the raft and no one mentions what happened!
You want to know what happened? You saw what happened. It's on video.
I would love to do this for my birthday 🎉
Water and water and water water!
“He was conceived in a boat” 😆
Greetings from bakersfield. Nice video but you should come back and try this again spring when the flows are up. Can be extremely dangerous depending on what kind of snowpack we get during winter. Was bad for about 10 years straight but we had a very good winter last year so the flows sustained all the way through summer.

i want that bean dip NOW
