Many years back we put in just below the Cascades - the gauge on the river was 13.5 ft - no idea on CFS. Literally no break until we got to the put in. VERY pushy

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?
@SouthernYak 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-t8x 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?
@SouthernYak 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.
@chrishasser2618 12 сағат 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.

You don't carry a saw? The whole bunch of you could easily clear that wood Think about being tight in your kayak seat but not a log is lying across your hips. It's hard to get out. You like " idk know why he did x y or z" maybe ask him, talk to him find out what he was thinking. Your "bro that is a no go" statement was cringe

Steeper than video shows, bigger than video indicates, faster, and pushier. But yes- no real rocks to deal with which was nice! But- way faster/pushier than cheoah. Felt like the speed of the slide into big kahuna with tons more volume. The paddling wasn’t highly technical but it was fast paced!
