    Now your talking! Awesome video and what a beautiful place to paddle. That campsite is pretty awesome indeed. This makes me think back to years ago when I first started kayak camping I wish I would have kept it up and branched out and did more exploring, now I'm older and trying to make up for lost time. Well another great video!

    Just ordered my first Sup and would like to try that one day some cool places. How do you park your car there for a few nights and which recreation pass do you need?

    • @4XPEDITION
      @4XPEDITION  ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly, I don't think I had a pass. Just parked there. But, I think a typical National Forest pass works.

    thanks for sharing!but isn't the paddle should face another direction ? like backwards?

    • @4XPEDITION
      @4XPEDITION  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ha! You mean the handle should be in the water? No, the paddle itself is facing correctly.

      @@michaelivgy5675 His paddle is the correct way around. The bend in the paddle end should be pointing fowards so by the time its in line with the hip its reached the greatest point of forward momentum in line with the bodies greatest potential for generating momentum.

    If I asked you to pin point on a map where you think that campsite is could you do that for me?

      @4XPEDITION  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey there. Sorry but I make it a point not to disclose exact locations. This way it keeps the traffic to a minimum and if you find it then that’s part of the adventure. Best to you!

      There is a campground above the lake for trailers. Where I camped you can only get to by canoe. Have fun!

      @@skateitman00 Gosh to explain it would be difficult. It is in the direction past the dam. Probably about 3/4 way to the end of the lake in that direction on a point on the left side of the lake when you are headed out.

    the filming and music were great. I'm planning on doing this trip in about a week, and also solo. I was looking at a map and I don't see much parking. did you launch from the primitive boat ramp?

    • @4XPEDITION
      @4XPEDITION  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. There is plenty of parking. It is about two switchbacks up above the boat ramp. There is only one ramp. You are going to just love this trip. Let me know how it goes as I would also like to revisit this this year.

    I still haven't been to BRR but a paddle camping trip there has been on my to do list for too long, so hopefully it will come together this summer. That camp site you found looks amazing and I think I might have an idea of where it is. Don't post it publicly here though. :-) Based on your trip there, do you know if there are a reasonable amount of other areas that someone could camp off the shore like that?

    • @4XPEDITION
      @4XPEDITION  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ya, I would say there are about 10 camp spots or so.

    • @4XPEDITION

      They are scattered up and down the shoreline in both directions of the put-in.

      LOL. When you watch the channel you will see some older videos and some new. That video is old. My whole channel is filmed with an iPhone. I am now on the iPhone 11 Pro Max which has a stabilizer.
