GREAT JOB on the shoals!!! 🤜🤛

Wow, such a great job Colton 👏

his face tho, i love it ❤

I love his face😂

Wow! What a trip! This was my first long river trip, and my first time running two cameras. I hope that you can forgive the audio issues. I tried to work around it as much as I knew how. I didn't realize the issues until I got home and reviewed my footage. I definitely learned some of what not to do. Regardless, we had a blast and these are memories we will never forget! See ya on the next one!

Heyyyyyy how’s the great outdoors going

Another awesome video Rex, glad the rain was not so bad that the river flooded and you had to cut your trip short, or did it, guess I need to wait for the next video 😀

Rumor is they are so tall because they are all descendants of an ancient race of giants that once roamed the ozarks.

I would have not been happy in that rain😆.

If I ever get a job I’m moving to Alabama and want to do this with you and Matthew kinnin

Heyy

This may not be good for backpacking but maybe for camping. I tried Idahoan Butter Flavored Mash Potatoes and made potato pancake and it was soooo good. Ratio 2:1 Mash Potato Powder : Self Rising Flour, same amount in water. One Potato Pancake: 1/4 cup Butter Mash Potato powder + 1/8 cup Self Rising Flour, mix dry ingredients, add 3/8 cup water & mix, rest a couple minutes and potato powder will absorb all the water, skillet fry in oil, add pancake syrup. The gluten in the flour is the binder for the potatoes and is self rising.

Looks good. 15' is a good length. I have a '99 16 ft Old Town Penobscot in Royalex. 58# great boat, but a lot to handle on technical class 2+ rapids single handed. I'm 6'2" and 225#, for reference. I put anti-fatigue floor mat on my carry yoke. THAT is the business. You can see that on my Upper James River trip early in '24. Peace.

Another great one, Rex! I definitely remember those rapids! Probably the biggest waves I saw on my whole trip there! Well done, bro!! 🛶👍💯

Heck yeah! Love the father son dynamic.

Looks fun except for the cold part!

I’m friends with Matthew

Hi

I was so fortunate to have grown up 8 miles from the Pruitt bridge and our swimming hole was even closer. Really miss living by the Buffalo!

Looks like number one son doing an awesome job copiloting there

Good video but Jesus have your wife paddle

Runtovexpedpeditions i iz be do be operating

The mountain lake portage and overlook are also very steep. You have to keep the bow of the canoe high for clearance while the stern drags behind you. Mountain is an excellent lake trout lake.

Aww, you were a great leader :) Makes me happy to see out of staters come and enjoy the BWCA. I feel like it's kind of a hidden gem, even amongst people from Minnesota. Thanks for the video, you have a wonderful cheery demeanor. Colton looked like he enjoyed it, and hopefully momma has some good memories of it, even if it's a little too much wilderness for her liking.

"That's never a good sign!" Lol- I don't like seeing old hulls, either! Nice save on Day 1. Been there, done that!! Nailed it on Day 2! Beautiful river and great adventure/video, Rex!!

Hey, Beeman from Canada here again. I am considering another canoe in T former or similar material. It will allow me to do some trips that might be a little rougher on the canoe. I currently have a Swift 15' prospector in carbon fusion - lovely flatwater canoe but certainly not built for banging off rocks - and it's probably about 32 lbs so it means a a big increase in weight. How do you like your Esquif 15" now that you've been on a few trips?

I have been watching your content over the past few days. I was just on a trip a couple weeks ago and a buddy of mine wrapped his canoe. It was a sad sight to see, but thankfully he was ok. It happened so fast in mild class 1. Glad to see you didn't pin your canoe on this one. Close call. Anyway, the event got me rethinking the prospecteur 15, just picked one up yesterday! Keep up the great content. Just subbed ya. I'll be talking to you! Keep on keeping on

Nice family outing. Ashley, you looked a bit out of your comfort zone - well done for helping to make that all happen. Colton, what a trooper. Making memories, Yes the Canadian accents were awful, eh? LOL.

Many times!! It's AWESOME!!

Excellent, lots of ideas. Thanks.

Nice video and detail! I paddle an Esquif Adirondack solo, on Georgia rivers, lighter (38 pounds) and a little more maneuverable than the Prospector 15. The Esquif t-formex boats are bullet proof on rocky fast water rivers, like the Toccoa.

I agree about the solo camping . Hard to find anyone and get schedules aligned. Going solo is better anyway. I enjoy being alone for awhile.

Great set up. You travel so light. Where is your tent and sleeping bag? Cooking supplies, sleeping pad? Camp chair?

Bro… great job on the video! Loved watching your fam take this adventure together. I got a good laugh when you slipped on the rocks. LOL😂 What a trip! Stuff like this is what you talk about in 10 years. Way to go!

Another great one! Colton raised a great question and I can completely identify with Hink's comment...lol!! 😅

I've not been many places, but by far the BNR is tops for me!! What a great adventure and how cool to see your son getting to enjoy that with you! Great editing and video!! 👍🛶👊

great video. Keep'em coming. God Bless. RTR

I love you guys. Saira loves watching yall. Her username is Lemonz. She's been commenting on your videos. This is the life I so hoped for you since your birth Rex. Y'all keep it up. So excited for you,Ashley and Colton.

Wonderful memories ❤

Looks like y’all made some wonderful memories. Ashley type of camping is the same as my wife’s, ac, hot shower😀, but love Colton’s reply that you have to get out of civilization. Congrats Colton on starting the fire with the ferro rod.

Ok- this is the first video of yours I've watched- you keep this up and you'll be big-time real quick! Great review, excellent editing- impressive, bro! About to check out Ep 1 of your BNR trip!!! 👍💯

Ran this same trip a couple years back with some buddies on sit on top fishing kayaks. Man is that ledge before swinging bridge you got stuck on wild. Water was lower for us and i always find a way to flip my yak there. The path you chose at the bridge is definitely the easiest but when the water is lower those tree branches really will send you straight into the rocks below which sucks. Great trip tho glad you enjoyed yours

You content is amazing, I can't believe you haven't gotten to 1k subs yet.

Nice setup. I haven’t rigged a boat since the last time I put a Mike Yee setup in a Dagger Ocoee….that’s been a minute. I am watching these Esquif videos because I got bit by the wilderness canoe bug. Concise and to thepoint video. I enjoyed it.

Liked the video. I’m planning on doing this trip soon. I’d be down to do a canoe camping with you

Looks like a fun river to paddle, and great job on the rapids. I just picked up paddling about 10 months ago and I joined a great paddling group on Facebook that does 2-3 paddling trips a week, but they are just day trips. I really enjoy overnight trips, but only have 1 friend that paddles and he travels a lot so I do a lot of solo trips. I see you paddled Perdido River, did you travel a long ways to Perdido,River, I live in Mobile AL, so if you ever looking for someone to do overnight trips with hit me up. There are several rivers that I have on my list to do long trips on 4-9 days like the Buffalo River which I see you already done, Current River, Jacks Fork River, Eleven Point River, Suwannee River and Greenbrier River.

Great video. Music doesn’t match the type of video it is though. Could be very relaxing and easy to watch entire video with some easier music

Hey man, my wife and I just relocated from Texas to Georgia. heading to Colorado to climb 14ers with a buddy this weekend because I haven’t meet anyone to go backpacking with out here in GA. Give me a shout! haha

Great setup, I just picked up my new Prospecteur 15 yesterday from Terrapin Outdoor as well, but in orange and will be working on setting it up. Look forward to watching you future river trips

How fun watching you and junior. You've got my vote for dad of the year! And he's a great kid. Hemmed in is an easy hike from the river, much harder from Compton trailhead, but worth it either way. There is a similar falls right next to Hemmed in but it requires a short intense bushwhack from Hemmed in. Diamond falls.
