    Megan and I spent a day on the water kayaking 17 miles on the White River in Indiana from Perkinsville to Noblesville.
    Put in: Perkinsville boat launch
    Take out: Forest Park boat launch
    I did lose my insta360 OneX2 action camera along with a ram tough pole sadly- you wouldn't believe how if I put it in text...Watch to find out!
    The weather was fantastic, Water was flowing well, and we had a nice mixture of solitude, paddling past fisherman, and party floaters at the end. We had to portage around one dam and did get to see Potter's covered bridge from the water.

    Awesome video. I love the slow motion tipping your kayak because a ginormous fish went into your boat. The 16 mile trip looked amazing.

      Haha I bet there are a whole lot of things under the surface of that river. I decided to replace the lost camera with a second one rs so I’m back up and running for the Missouri multi day kayak camping trip in a few weeks

    Man that looks like a good time on the water for a day flowing. I I'm sorry to hear about you losing your camera. I know that's not how you wanted to get rid of it. I like your kayak you got man. what kind of Wilderness system kayak you got? I Also like your sandals you are wearing. What kind of sandals are you wearing? I would like to get me a pair because I have to kayak barefooted 👣 because I have a very very Extremely wide feet 🦶 sz15 6E wide with very chubby fat wide toes that are Equally straight across making my foot very very Extremely wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. My foot outgrow shoe , socks , & boots when I was young & Flip flops 🩴 is the only footwear that will barely and I mean barely fit my foot Because my toes are wider than the flip flops 🩴 straps so I am looking for a pair of sandals to wear in the water. I would really appreciate the information sir. This was a good video man thank you for sharing and I hope you and your wife have a good weekend.

      Thanks for watching Mack- in this video I was in a wilderness systems tarpon 120. I really enjoyed the kayak but as I grew deeper into yak camping I ended up selling it and purchased a perception Carolina 12 sit in. No knock to the wilderness systems- they make fantastic boats I just wanted to make the swap to s sit in. As for sandals I have a couple pair. I think these were the Tevas. The others I have are are xero but I’m pretty sure I used the tevas on this trip. They’re my go to sandals.

      @@SmolderOutdoors oh okay tarpon 120 that's what I have is a tarpon 120 too. That is awesome man. Man I love my tarpon kayak. I clearly understand why you sold your tarpon 120 because I'm getting ready to upgrade my kayak too. I am not going to sale my tarpon am just going to buy the Pongo 125 for kayak camping and use my tarpon 120 for regular kayaking. The reason why I didn't get the sit inside kayak first it's because my foot is so big & very very extremely wide with me having very chubby very fat wide toe that are evenly straight across ( known as box foot which is very rare for feet ) my foot got stuck in a brand new sit inside a kayak and they almost had to call 911 to get my foot cut out of the kayak so I had to go with a sit on top. I have a buddy that does all sorts of welding and we found an old cheap Walmart kayak that was taking on water to practice on how to modify foot space so when I get my panko kayak we know exactly what to do. Oh your sandals those are Teva sandals okay. Those are some really really nice sandals man. When my foot out grow shoes Teva sandals were the only footwear that would fit my foot at the time & i love my Teva at that time man. The only problem that i had was the Footbed didn't last long at all. With in 2 / 3 months of wearing them the footbed had a nice fat very wide worn out smooth 5 toe footprint on the footbed of the sandals. This was back when my foot was 4 1/2 to 5 " inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe but now since my foot is now 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe i still have the same problem with the Footbed not lasting long except it's now only 4 toes that show not 5 toes because both of my little toes hang off the footbed of the sandals or better yet my flip flops but I'm looking for a pair of sandals to wear for kayaking instead of being barefooted 👣 walking across the rocks in the water when the water is shallow. It is starting to take a toll on my feet because I broke both of my feet 2 years ago. Looking forward to seeing your next kayak camping Adventure. Me my family love kayak camping. Me & my family ( wife , 6th boys , granddaughter , daughter in law , & soon to be my newborns grandson when he get bigger ) & family friend we just did a 40 mile kayak camping trip oh what Labor Day Holiday weekend and we had a blast. My lil brother went kayak camping with us for the first time and he really really enjoyed kayak camping and now he wants to buy himself a kayak so he can join the kayak camping adventures with us. Thank you so much sir for replying back I really appreciate that and the information you provided. I apologize for this being long.

      Needless to say I won’t make that mistake again. Headed to the ozarks for 3 days on the current river this weekend! Tethers are installed 😂
