- Growing up from the age of 9 thru 17, my three cousins on my mothers side (all boys) lived in the same neighborhood less than a block from the house I grew up in. My little brother and I always had play companions during those years. Someone to build forts with, ride bikes, or make mazes in the farmers nearby corn field. Those years hold some of my fondest childhood memories. For the first time in a very long time, my three cousins were able to join me on this trip. One of them for his first time. We haven't been able to group up like this in many years. Some of my closest friends and neighbors joined us as well. It was wonderful to be in such great company.
Every float trip is different. This one was special for me. Thanks for joining me, everyone who went. I hope to have you again. Cheers!
This is my premier video that I make every year to track my progress as a videographer. I try new techniques, new gear and methods I have learned since posting the previous video of the same river from the year before, etc.
This will be my first float trip video uploaded in 4K ( be sure you check your TH-cam settings to make certain you are watching in the best quality possible ). I also tried some new camera angles. Some of these came out terrific! I wanted to have my new Insta 360 camera with me for this trip, but alas, it just didn't make it to me in time. I will be using that soon in some of my upcoming videos.
For this float trip down the North Fork of the White River 2023, the action really starts at:
0:21 Drone video: The Lodge at Trout Island fly over and nearby river
1:17 A peek inside the lodge (making entire video of The Lodge later )
2:00 Drone video: Sunburst Ranch canoe/kayak/campground/
3:34 Blue Spring
3:42 Crazy dudes jumping into a cold spring ( look for the scared fish )
4:45 The 'Paddle camera angle"
5:55 The 'GoPro suction cup angle'
6:25 Amazing camera angle of my favorite section on the '12 mile'. Enjoy
7:42 Drone video: Two kayakers floating near the lodge
9:05 Deer on river bank, zoom in
9:35 Drone video: Family in floating tubes near the lodge
10:33 The Falls ( shot the hole perfectly )
10:56 The fastest my kayak has moved under man/river power, lol
11:44 Last bend before the pull out
Well, there it is. The new and improved annual float trip video of The North Fork of The White River. Once again I would like to thank the owners, staff, and all the other hard workers at Sunburst Ranch for their tireless efforts to make us all feel comfortable and welcomed. None of this would be possible without their hospitality.
For Sunburst, all my viewers, family, neighbors and friends. I thank you. Cheers!
first time down that river was around 1993. Sunburst or whoever they were before now, dropped us off way up the river and we canoed and slept on river bank for 3 days. Before they were commercialized like now. They picked us up at some lake I think at Arkansas border and drove us to our car. Can you imagine canoeing with 3 days of beer for 4 people. like a case a day per person. Of course we turned boat over in first half hour and picked up our beer out of river for next few miles. At least it stayed cold.
You and I have very similar beginnings to our early days of canoeing. I had the very same experience about that same time on the Buffalo River in Arkansas. Outfitters dropped us off several miles upstream, and we began our 3 day/2 night journey back to camp. Now a days, I rent the most expensive cabin on the river, watch the people float by, and only partake in about an 8 mile float, lol.
I will do an extensive trip down the Buffalo again one day. I really want to do it again, this time with a lot more wisdom and respect for my surroundings.
Thank you very much for the view and response. You brought back some good memories. Cheers!
@@dennisschullerjr1720 Yup, the hangar or the lodge usually. In that first trip, I met a couple locals fishing below dam at Dawt Mill, drank some of their moonshine. I passed out in canoe and as wife was screaming at me to steer, we hit the bank. I remember rolling out of canoe and floating. I then woke up in a pasture with grazing cows. Made my way back to river and waited on bank not knowing what to do. Started floating again and found them around the bend in a panic that I died. Whew
I remember that Spring! 🙂
😊 Bend down that river a whole bunch. Great video J I m kansas city
Looks like you guys had a blast.
Great video. Planning a trip down there in early September. Going to do the same float. Perhaps the next day jump over Bryant Creek.
We use to do Bryant Creek regularly. The fishing used to be better on that stretch of water. Since the flood of 2017 tho, the White has been excellent to fish. I made a Bryant Creek video the last time I went there. It's archived into My Floating Videos Playlist.
This was your best video yet, though that early twirling made me dizzy! 😄 Having the camera at water level was also fun, though I wished you'd brought the camera up to your viewpoint eventually. I loved the drone bits, of course. Mostly, I'm glad you and your cousins had a grand time together and that you enjoyed the river. Thanks for taking me along, virtually anyway.
Awesome video man! Love the views!
Dude! Thank you so much for the comment. You need to post more videos, your gaming is top notch, It would be great to see
Haha maybe some day lol. Posting and social media not really my thing lol. ❤ much love to you do. Great video !
I really enjoyed this video float trip, drone was a great view into all, on the river. The deer had a nice spot tucked away. And the cabin was beautiful. Thank you Dennis:)
Timestamps in the description. Cheers!
Does it allways flow that good? Looks amazing.
Flows pretty nice all year long. Like all rivers, it just depends on annual rain sheds. This section of the river has several natural springs that help keep the water levels nominal for floating almost all year.
