40 Mile Yak Packing Trip on the Buffalo River in Arkansas! 4 day 3 night epic adventure!!!

My amazing adventure on the Buffalo River in Arkansas. Travis Henry, Justin Wolfe, Travis's dad Major and myself went 40 miles on this river living out of our kayaks. It was a life changing experience for sure!! I do not own any part of the music in this video. It is title "When The Stars Come Out" and is written and sung by Chris Stapleton

Every year i think about this trip. Magical in so many ways

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Man I know… I just love it and am so grateful y’all invited me

[@TheRazorbackscott]

Fun, seeing your reaction to Big Bluff and Hemmed In Hollow. They don't seem real the first time you see them; you don't expect them. Great video.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Man I still can't believe the beauty of it... Just breath taking! Thanks for watching man!

[@mikewest712]

Always assumed you were local to the area? You guys traveling that far to float the buffalo really puts things in perspective.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Haha well I was born and raised in Arkansas but yea I drive from the Dallas/Ft.Worth area in Texas and my other buddies travel from western Kansas. We just really love that river!

[@mikewest712]

@@TheBeardedBurton it floated great this summer.

[@survivewithout]

that trip was epic. im so glad we went just a little bit further

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Survive Without I know man, we gotta do more!!!

[@grierwolfe]

I can't wait until our next adventure. This was the best trip ever.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

It really was, I haven't been had that much fun before lol! I didn't want it to end...

[@OutdoorWanderer1]

I'm so jealous! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

The Patriot Wanderer Thank you for watching! Wish you could have been there!!

[@LarryRobertsbc]

Nice looking trip, you guys rock!

[@John-go2is]

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Be sure to go back. You guys missed a lot.. Doesn't seem like 40 miles, where did you put in and get out? We hike here very often and everything I see in this video is within the first 14miles between ponca and kyles landing?FYI, there is no music in this video :P

[@TheBeardedBurton]

We have gone back every year since this trip 4 years ago, it’s our favorite! We now do all 130 miles to the white river from Ponca. Headed out at the end of this month for this year’s trip. This was our first year to do it, we put in at Ponca and got out at Mt. Hershey. Just because I didn’t film every thing doesn’t mean we didn’t do more and or go further than what you saw.

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Also I am doing YT for fun and am not a professional, so music shouldn’t be demanded from someone like me. Sorry if I disappointed you but these video are for myself and friends/family not for movie theaters.

[@saltyw1]

Nice! For a one night trip from ponco what would be a good ending point? Kyles landing? Would like to get 20 miles a day self shuttling...

[@TheBeardedBurton]

Yea that should work well, sorry for the late response

[@John-go2is]

Ponca to Kyles is only about a 5 or 6hr float," IF" you take your time.

[@sidneylandrum9126]

It looks like yall had a blast and Travis is killing me with his laughing. Next summer we are going down to Swamp Base and doing a 60 miles trip with the Boy Scouts.

[@jogger1987]

Did your rig have foot peddles or did you guys just paddle ?

[@TheBeardedBurton]

We all just paddled man, I have the option to on mine but it's just a lot of work. If the water is moving quick enough I prefer no pedals. Thanks for watching!

[@BlackChrome84]

Looks like you guys had an awesome trip man. I would love to paddle that river someday!

[@TheBeardedBurton]

BlackChrome84 Thank you we sure did! It is beautiful country

[@bdsxv4241]

Was that a Duluth pack or something similar I saw on your kayak? If so, how'd it do in the wet conditions?

[@TheBeardedBurton]

+Brennan Stebbins yes it was the frost river isle royale full size one. It was a test for me to how well it would do. While it held its on and fair share, the leather on it turned to wet noodles lol. Definitely won't take it again, I go with a dry bag back pack now.
