DIY Barrel Raft River Trip Camping On Boat

People seem to forget if you're just going for a day in average climate, all you really NEED is water proper clothing and some sort of medkit. I like to have two days worth of food. I've stopped carrying a sleeping bag because it took up too much space, again depending on the climate, and replaced it with a basic non reflective thermal blanket.

River rocks do explode sometimes. Years ago one of our boy scout leaders decided to show us how to heat up a can of baked beans on a flat rock over the fire. Fortunately no one was near the fire when it blew. But we never did find the can of beans.

Hey Steve...Love the humbleness and humility in your videos! Only on my 4th one, but loving the homemade river rafting and stealth camping I have seen so Far! Now 61 yrs old, I was a scout leader in Pennsylvania for 18 yrs and had my fair share of great experiences and learning experiences in the outdoors. To comment on river rocks and fire rings... YES, they do make noise, crack and twice (only under larger, hotter fires) had some of the rocks explode. Very scary learning experience! Please continue these enjoyable videos and ignore the naysayers. ps survived broken neck, throat and neck cancer and still camping 4 Seasons...just not with 15 teenagers anymore! - Joe D.

[@relic7093]

I've seen exploding river rocks. In the early '80s I was living in Inuvik NWT. Two friends and I flew in to a place called twin lakes for a 4 day fishing trip. The first night there we had a fire on the beach and as the fire grew hot, rocks began to explode and pieces flew past our heads. The rocks that exploded were smaller sedimentary ones that were actually under the fire, not the larger ones used to form the ring. This type of rock is somewhat porous and because of the nature of their formation, when the trapped water boils they easily fracture along their layers, sending pieces flying. It didn't happen after that because we used the same fire pit and all the "exploding" rocks had already exploded. A good practice wouldn't be to clear your fire pit of all rocks down to sand or gravel if you are building a fire on what could possibly be sedimentary rocks. Cheers.
