A Day on the River - Tellico Ledges

[@fracturedhipster]

It’s a shame that KZbin no longer has a viewer nominated award process because I would be submitting the River Kings channel every day. You bring so much joy and positivity to everything you touch. Your sense of style, timing, and narrative just keeps growing by leaps and bounds. Proud to consider myself a fellow North Carolinian and perhaps someday we’ll meet up on one of those rivers that has no name, but lives on in our hearts.

Thanks a ton fractured hipster! I really appreciate the encouragement and the kind words! If you can go look at the thumbnail...you may notice It has now been awarded the coveted Larry Leake Award! I am so stoked! Thanks again!

WOW, that's one good piece of video!!! I'm 73 and it makes me want to try...but I know better. THANKS for the thrill.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thank you -and It is not too late! I know several folks in their late 70's out there shredding. You can also dial the rowdiness back and start on gentler rivers that afford you the time to gather the skills and confidence and find you comfort level...there is a river for EVERYONE!

[@leonbax4655]

Pete you just described all rivers the tha upmost beauty and respect Amen brother

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Leon!

[@williamlewis7243]

I love your films! Love exploring all these rivers I grew up with. Need to see you on the Suwannee/Santa Fe?? Come see us

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks William! sounds like a good time!

[@tauchersmiddy]

Beautifully made. The real star, the river, is shown for the first 2.5 minutes, only then do the canoeists come into play.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks tauchersmiddy!

[@iansoutdooradventures]

Great Job Pete!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks bilkelly!

[@roygraham6665]

Pete no one tells a story like you do. Almost makes us all feel like we are there. You are the best. Ken is good at what he does. Gotta give him his earned respect. Keep up the good work bro, because the day you have to hang up your paddles for good yakking vids on you tube will never be the same. 💯

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Roy! I appreciate the encouragement! Ken and Mat are awesome...having access to that footage makes it just too easy!

[@CareyCarolinaCamper]

WOW Pete! All the eye candy plus a dynamic flow from serene to controlled chaos and back again! Mom was right! The story is where it’s at, and this one is crafted beautifully! ❤

[@RiverKingsKayak]

[@iowaadventures4701]

Hi, from a snowy Northwest, Iowa. I also feel the pole of the water and instead of Going pheasant hunting today with my buddies. I went out to see the beauty on the water. I wish I was just as elegant as you are in explaining how beautiful it really is. Another great video.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks a ton IA!

[@elevatedlifeadventures]

Pete! This is beautiful!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Jess!!

[@squeakyarcher2946]

First video where the sound and music volume were about the same level ( didnt have to adjust the volume do to audio bomb) other wise a fantastic video! I have gone through so many of your videos, absolutely excellent production and quality. The story telling is amazing as always. Keep up the great work!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks! squeaky archer!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Ryan!! will do!

[@hakunamatata3924]

Great video you have made here. I know, it is just repeating what everyone said before me, but the footage, music, narration... Feels like you have even matched music - beats to the waves/rocks of the river - at least where it was possible. Seems like you are not kidding, and you love what you do.😀

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks HakunaMatata! I try my best!

[@g.garner]

Let’s go!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

[@PALSRide]

Pete what are you doing you know we don’t have any water and you’re going to put up a video like this. It’s a good one though

[@RiverKingsKayak]

The way things worked out, I have had that footage just waiting for a day when I had nothing else for a video....Last week was the week! It has me itching for more!
