- I join Shevin from Wondering Monkey for their annual Get Your Paddles Wet Subscriber trip. The plan was to go Kayak Camping in New River State Park. Monumental Rains and a funeral changed some plans. The crew stuck it out and made the Most of a wet weekend. We managed to get in a run on a swollen river to cap off a crazy weekend. Most importantly...I meet my biggest fan!
Great job man. Glad you could make it. Great tribute. It's amazing to see how one little connection links so many of us. As much as we joke/insult each other I still enjoy each trip we get to paddle together. See ya soon!
the wonderingelectrician always a pleasure! Thanks again for the invite!
Great tribute!
Thanks Keith! Those two families have been really close over the years. They are wonderful people.
Love seeing people run that river in a Next hybrid. It’s quickly become my favorite canoe.
Yes, it is a neat boat!
Hey! Someone else has a lemongrass yellow Next! Cool. Anxious to see how it does on NC waters!
They were neat little boats!
River Kings We have a couple of them and love them for flat water, like the Okefenokee Swamp.
What a fun weekend this was!
Indeed brother!
Great video Pete....."A river touches places it source knows nothing of" Oswald Chambers. Completed a kayak camping trip on this section of the New River a couple weeks ago with some good friends....all 3 of us had our souls restored and we also enjoyed a burger and some fried pickles at Motleys.
Fantastic!! Thanks Anthony! I like that quote...may have to steal it!
I'm on the opposite end of the New River, right out the channel and into the ocean section.
Well...that would be the Mississippi river into the gulf! Good deal.
No the New River near Jacksonville NC
@@adventureswithken1983 ahh...right on!
What a touching and emotional tribute. you are truly blessed to have such great family and friends. God bless you.
highvoltageclimber thank you!
I know the Shevin's were disappointed in the weather because they had planned this for a long while. Great job on this video. You definitely paddled "deeper" than usual. Great job, very powerful. A $100 bet? You needed to give us more detail on that.
Adventure Outdoors sometimes the rivers rise! Thanks!
He never tells the bet. Just says I got it pay up. I checked the serial number and I think it is the same 100 he won last time.
Trust me- if it's the same bill- its Mine!!..... not again.....
Awesome Pete. You have an amazing gift that comes from thoughtfulness. All around an amazing piece and tribute.
Charlie Strickland thank you!
By the way. The Buffalo river is beautiful. Water was a little low but still fun. Not really hammock friendly. We had to pass on some beautiful camping spot due to lack of trees. But sleeping in that hammock tho!!!! We had a great time. Didn't get much footage. GoPro laid down on me. I would read my battery. I would get about 5 minutes of use and it would shut down. I tried several full batteries and it never did work. Maybe next time on the next river!! Thank for all the inspiration and information. I sure did help!!
Bummer about the gopro! Was looking forward to seeing that one. Glad you enjoyed it.
That back camera mount has very little wiggle. What are you using? 1/2 inch pvc pipe at 4.5 feet tall moves way too much. I am trying to build one that will break in the middle (and still stay attached) so I can go down streams with overhanging branches.
Just saw this. I'm using a RAM mount ball and a 24" RAM mount Pole. I keep that GoPro camera on superview. I can actually reach it with my hand to turn it on and off and it folds down if it hits a branch. Super easy just prop back up and it holds pretty well. I thought I was going to need a taller pull myself and experimented and got the same wiggle problem. The 24-inch pole is been working great for me. If you check out my latest video on the pre-owned Yukon Expedition, I detailed that little portion and you can get a visual. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful tribute to Mrs. Hambright, beautifully done. Wonderfully tied together. Short, but awesome trip. Look forward to doing something again before too long.
Thanks man! Thanks for going! enjoyed meeting and hanging out with you this weekend. Great job on the river!
Likewise! .......Thanks! Still learning, cutting my teeth, looking forward to learning more and doing more. I enjoy it more than I ever thought I could. Glad I found such a wonderful outlet, and I've been lucky to meet up with some really great folks, too.
Great video! Thanks again. It is amazing how different lives cross.
Monty Mills yes it is! Thanks for watching
Life is as a vapor.....You've got it right, a life of "self" is So small. We never know who is going through what as we encounter them through our everyday life. I think it is so much better when we leave an imprint of positivity and even the smallest gesture of kindness, of focusing on someone else for a moment can give them the boost they need to get through a difficult day, as life happens. Thank you.
Scott Meacham you are all over it!
I should not have watched this during my lunch break at work-touching beyond words and, in the pandemic age, my red eyes and sniffles are harder to explain...
Thanks you sir! That was a crazy weekend with a lot rolling around in my mind... It is the people you meet for sure!!!
Dang I was in that video
Nice!!
Absolutely first class Pete! Always on the level you summed this up perfectly!
Jeff Rummerfield thanks!
Jeff Glad to have you with us. I am already looking forward to the next time.
Very moving Pete and a lovely tribute. Another great video put together with the thoughtfulness of others again and hit a few heart strings in the process. Got you thinking of friends and family no longer with us and how short our time on this planet. Regards and well done......
Pete would love to paddle with you someday and Jacob is a super guy.
I drive almost a hour and half just to get lessons from him and it's worth every mile. Thanks to you and your vids Is how i got hooked up with him.
Thanks brother.
Amazing video and great trip . Wow that water was muddy and high just like here . How about showing us the camera mounts you use to get that great footage. Not the Ugly stick mount HaHa.
Practical Outdoorist will do!
You ever do French Broad? I spent summer in Brevard once.
Do I ever do the French Broad? Well here you go! ------->>. th-cam.com/play/PLB1_lkypPICdJKHL5GWURqR8silWf4vv3.html
We did the whole thing last summer!
That's a pretty cool tribute!
Adventures With A Cherokee thank you.
Great job man! I've watched your videos for the last year, some of the best on you tube!
Thanks a ton Bennie!
Once you drop that pebble in the pond you never know how far the ripples will reach or what effect they'll have.
Well said!
Good video I kayak that river all the time, you should try the river bend campground in the new river state park it is paddle in only. You can get out where you guys camped at in this video.
Thank you! I know just where you are talking about! I stayed there once about 20 years ago! It is a beautiful spot.
Bravo good sir!
All Things Outdoors thanks!
This was incredibly moving. Amazing job on this video. I came across your video while researching New River State Park for a camping trip with my wife starting this weekend. This video is what made our decision to go to New River State Park. Thanks for posting this video. Had me heart❤️
Jessica
Thank you! I hope you enjoy your time on the New! I try to tell the stories that are all around us. It is always encouraging to hear they are getting through. Cheers!
Great Vid pete-well edited and narrated -you won some more fans there too!

You have quickly become my favorite channel to watch.

Rodney Clay right on! Jacob will take care of you! Thanks for the kind words! If you are in the Burlington area, lets do a run sometime. Thanks for watching!
Home run. Best channel on TH-cam!
Kevin got his video up first where i did not see it .. so there was just 7 of yous going down man it is moving man that ending was so sad .. as long as you keep them in your soil they well live on throw you...
Amazing! Your videos are inspiring I even just made a video inspired by your style. It is from the greenbrier in WV with high water too.
Ben Baker thanks! Im gonna check that out!
Liked the intro a lot and think you payed a fitting tribute. Nice video, not my style of paddling but hope you keep on making videos, you're good at it.
Thank you Robert! I appreciate the honest review. Im curious now...What style of paddling do you prefer?
I'm kind of a late comer to your channel, but it's an awesome video. Can I ask what campgrounds y'all stayed at?
Thanks The Trakker! Welcome aboard! I am pretty sure it was New River State Park US 221 Access. Here is a link www.ncparks.gov/new-river-state-park/home
I thought so. It's been a long time. But it looked familiar.
@@TheTrakker right on!
unavabiliile am deaf
