Epic Kayak Camping Trip on the French Broad
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- Tahkeeosteh is a Cherokee name for part of the French Broad. It translates into "where they race." Tahkeeosteh was the most transformative and substantive portion of our French Broad through paddle in 2018. It carries the brunt of the high adventure and majestic views. We have always talked of returning. Six years later, we are returning to Tahkeeosteh. Running the most adventurous portions of the French Broad, we will paddle sections 6 through 11. Section 9 is the marquee section of whitewater boasting miles of classic southeastern river running. Running this section with the crew in a loaded touring boat earns you entrance into the elusive Club 9. There is no other way to enter the club. It has been six years since we have attempted this and there are 6 new paddlers that want to run the gauntlet and measure themselves - six paddlers that want to join the brotherhood. Join us as we continue our quest for Club 9. Starting the morning on majestic section 8, we soon run the gauntlet of Section 9. Things get interesting...

Pete, I love that you're always keeping an eye for your crew. Y'all try to keep the risks to a minimum, but you're not afraid to do what's necessary to help someone when things go sideways for them. The world needs a lot more people like yourself.
Thanks a ton! That is just how the whitewater community works!
Pete, your kayak camping videos are some of my favorite. I found your channel years ago when making some ridgelines for my tarp and since then you've inspiring me to get out and adventure a little harder on my camping trips. Been a blast. Thanks for making killer content and teaching others what you know. Peace.
Thanks Drew! Thats what it is all about!
Man, what a two days!! I really hate I missed finishing out with you guys. Seeing FB9 (and the last day flow) really only minimally confirms my decision to bail. The stronger feeling is sadness from missing out, missing those views and especially missing you guys!! Y'all crushed it!! Great video as always, Pete! Love you guys and congrats to the new FB9 members!!! 👍💪🛶
lace those boots up Dan! We have work to do! Onward!
@@RiverKingsKayak Absolutely!! 💪
Way to always keep an eye on your crew! Great job!
Thanks Mike!
I really enjoyed watching your video. Loved the camera perspective from your view rather than camera pointing at your face. So many utubers point the camera at themselves & us as viewers miss out on so much. We want to see what your seeing, So many beautiful views & exciting rapids! And you gave us that & more with the cool drone shots. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us 👍 ❤
Thanks a ton! I agree with you and especially so in my case...the less you see me the better the video! LOL. Im trying to bring the viewer along on the experience as well as document these trips for future me...the more of the trip I can see, the better!
Great content and excellent editing. I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks UDO!
This looked like a great trip. You guys have inspired me to pick up a boat and start exploring these awesome NC waters. Got a canoe a few weeks ago and am going to try whitewater kayaking hopefully this week! Keep up the great content
Right on Andrew!
Excited for part two!
This is part two
She watched the premiere live with us...but commented before it started. I was confused at first too! LOL
Epic!!
Thanks Rob!
Loved the video. Heading to north Carolina tomorrow to hopefully buy my first whitewater kayak. Then off to the tuckasegee.
Right on Zachary!
Great vid as always!
Thanks K!
still gotta do this one time with you all! Love the video buddy!
For sure Matt!
Incredible video. ty.
Thanks Trey!
Nice video I'm heading to Algonquin on Friday for 4 days ....
Oh man!! Im jealous!
Love the part when you guys are paddling in the rain & thunder : Pretty much my favorite kind of weather for paddling!
Everything becomes totally different somehow... the nature... the animals... the smells... :)
P.S. :
I really need your help with something and have sent you an e-mail to the address you mentioned here a couple of times for PayPal usage : Did you get it ?
My nickname is in the subject!
Indeed GTN355! It is a neat experience for sure!
