I thought you needed special permits to put water vessels in the chattooga?
@SouthernYak2 ай бұрын
There is a kiosk at the put in where you fill in a permit showing # in your party and date of put in and take out and you keep a carbon copy of it and place the other copy in the kiosk and off you go to enjoy a day on the river.

I’ve never been there, so I have no clue, but what is to stop people from being more River right? Are there rocks blocking the entrance?
@SouthernYak2 ай бұрын
You can definitely go more river right. Most people who are left do it for the challenge and fun and it doesn’t always work out well. 🤣 there is a pour over you want to avoid about 1/2 down the approach on river right but once you clear it you can cut over right and avoid the chaos of pillow rock.

Great videos! I’ve got a private trip this October. I’ll be the only kayak in the group. I’d like to get some footage of the trip also. Was this shot on a GoPro? If so how many batteries did you use? What did you use to keep the batteries charged?
@SouthernYak4 ай бұрын
All of my videos are shot with a GoPro camera. I brought 4 batteries with me. I have a charger base that charges 3 batteries at a time. I researched all the options including solar and landed on the easiest, most cost effective, and reliable option is to use an Anker power bank. It allowed me to charge the batteries each night, along with my phone (used as a camera). Best wishes on your trip and thanks for watching!
@StephenBiggs-t8x4 ай бұрын
@@SouthernYak Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! Two last questions I promise. Did one Anker power bank get you through the whole trip or did you bring multiple. Also how much memory would you recommend bringing?
@SouthernYak4 ай бұрын
@@StephenBiggs-t8xI brought 2 power banks just bc I had 2 and I didn’t want to worry about it but I only needed one. On multi day trips I carry an SD card for each day of the trip and I # the sd cards so I know which day is what. That way clips don’t get confused on which day they came from and I can keep all filming organized by each individual day. I use at least a 64gb sd card. 128gb is even better but you can get by in 64gb if you manage your film time and don’t shoot in 4K. If in 4K then definitely 128GB is needed per day. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the information. I have been paddling my XP for a couple years now and I have been camping out of it quite a bit. I love this kayak, and even on 250 CFS is the ditch of the Muddy Creek this boat performs. This is an awesome way of making use of otherwise dead space in the kayak. I ended up with a tube 17.5 inches long and if you have a longer inseam, you can fit more. Be sure to put your Nalgene in the holder when determining your overall length (cut once). I used gorilla glue and I think the straps are mandatory cause the glue would pop off the ABS as I was testing it. Great video, I referenced it at least 7-10 times. Happy Expeditions !

Shame you guys didnt have a silky saw would blast through that branch in no time and gets it out of the water for the next guy. Good work and and fast reactions, well done time and positive action is key.
@chrishasser26183 ай бұрын
I was thinking about a saw as I watched. Even with a saw available, the approach they took seemed best. It was faster to do without a saw, and once the branch was partially cut it could have become a dynamic situation in an unpredictable way and gone south.
