Hey! Just wanted to say this was an excellent video! I'm not sure how you don't have more subscribers at this point, but I'm hitting subscribe! As a fellow adventurer, photographer and videographer I really love your videos. I'm just happy you came to my back yard to make this video so I could discover your channel!

What an incredibly nice comment, totally made my day! Glad you enjoyed it and have fun exploring!

[@HeidiAnnHikes]

Love Congaree! Love to see people enjoying nature like I do! Great video.

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

Thanks!

Great video. Congaree NP is beautiful & the canopy is unique. The snakes are great & last visit we saw a wild hog while walking the best boardwalk trail I’ve ever seen.

As someone who loves snakes and bugs, this legitimately looks like paradise

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

Haha you would LOVE this place then

This video is so good! We were just at congaree and did the boardwalk loop but definitely want to get back and rent a canoe. You guys got a lot of awesome footage of the wildlife. I’m glad I didn’t see the fishing spider though 😂 we got some awesome footage of two snapping turtles fighting. It was the highlight of the trip for sure 👌

Really well done video! Thanks for creating this.

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the detail video. It helps explain why Congaree does not have many hiking trails. It's beautiful as well as dangerous. Some reviewers just don't seem to understand that. The young lady in the video expressed it well. Looks like it was adventure for you all.

[@XtraMileS]

Great, that you've seen so much wildlife! It is not the case in winter...Thank you for the cool vid!👍

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

As much as I loved the wildlife, it may have been a bit much for some of the folk in our group... specially the spiders. I got close enough to some of the spiders my wife screamed (luckily I muted that while editing)

Cedar Creek is an amazing trek.

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

Really fun place to check out.

"Just the tip," LOL ;-) Couldn't help myself! Bro, amazing.

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

A very mature comment haha. Glad you liked it!

[@MTEXX]

Beautiful documentary quality. This is less than an hour from me and I'm having trouble finding someone to go with =P

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

Hopefully you can get some friends to check it out! Just don’t mention the snakes or spiders… I didn’t till it was too late to turn back lol

[@lucavescovi4256]

Does the time of year make a big difference? Considering going in March

[@charlescarpenter6894]

Any issues with snakes in the trees overhanging the river?

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

Hmmm I’ll be honest that never occurred to me. I would avoid any low hanging trees like a plague because of the giant spider webs and spiders hanging from them. But those are fairly easy to avoid, but even then bugs will end up in your kayak, and snakes will be swimming, so be careful. Last thing you wanna do is panic and end up on the water because a spider landed in your kayak lol

Silly not to be in life vests. #rivernazi

[@AlexynPhotoVideo]

It was only like 2-3 feet deep at most, slow moving, narrow, and 85 degrees out. Not really much of a need for one here

[@mgoody8782]

Lol love watch these people using paddles incorrectly

[@adventureairwaves]

Class 1 fun. Looks like they made it down the river. Arguably better than using the KZbin comment box incorrectly. Cheers!
