Nice video, David. You had a great float.

[@UncleDavidOutdoors]

@billquantrill4960 Thanks, yes that was a great float. Have you floated or camped on the Buffalo National River? Thanks for the view and comment.

[@billquantrill4960]

@@UncleDavidOutdoors I have not. I've floated a lot on and off over the years but all of it in Missouri. I'm currently looking to get an expedition kayak and am leaning heavily toward the Cresent Crew. I need to try and float the Buffalo in the fall or spring. May looks good in your videos for certain.

[@UncleDavidOutdoors]

@billquantrill4960 Yep, it was like it turned green overnight.

Wonderful brother. Much love from Fayetteville Arkansas

Thanks @rustyshackelfordiii5587!

Thank you for posting these videos. I'm so jealous. I've floated the Buffalo many times and have even does this same trip but I've never done it when the leaves were off the trees. Its on my bucket list to do one of these days. Being able to see past the rivers edge and through the valleys would be amazing.

[@UncleDavidOutdoors]

Thanks @deltaoutdoorsman884! I've always liked the colder seasons vs wormer when it comes to views. The leaves and all the green is amazing but when the leaves are gone you get to see her inner beauty. Running the upper Buffalo tomorrow for a 3 day float from Ponca to Pruitt. I'll have that stretch on upcoming videos. Thanks for the views and comment.

I love living only 15-20min from the Buffalo River, its a beautiful spot

[@UncleDavidOutdoors]

Yes it is. Thanks for the view and comment.

[@themarcusallen]

What did you wear for shoes? I’m planning on doing this stretch but taking out at a resort there in buffalo city

[@UncleDavidOutdoors]

@themarcusallen Thanks for the view and comment. I just use cheap water shoes. One thing I would advise is getting ones that are tight around the ancle or top of foot. It's not just for staying on in the current but it helps keep those pesky little rocks out of your shoes. As for your takeout watch this video. If they are running a lot of generators, you will not make it to those resorts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV6yXmeGhpV9fK8

[@UncleDavidOutdoors]

@K9River Thanks for the view and comment. Makes me nervus every time that camera hits something. Only camera I have. 🫣

[@K9River]

@@UncleDavidOutdoors Yep- I saw you look back. I'm going to tether mine.

[@UncleDavidOutdoors]

@K9River I know I should. I've learned to lean my kayak to duck under stuff. Check this one out. kzbin.info1d1cmy0_Q_A
