I Tried Wild Bear Tubing In The Smokies

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

What a fun 🤩 lazy time on the river. Weird there was no fish 🤪 except the one 😂

[@SantosChronicles]

yea, that was weird but probably because the river was low. It was a fun time.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

What a fun adventure Carl, look like the whole family had fun tubing down this river. Thew river is too mirky to see fish. I would love this Carl. So glad you had so much fun. Hope you all have an awesome week.

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, most of the places were murky and where the water moved faster it was clear. So it made it tough. On a hot day this was a perfect activity for the family. Have a great weekend.

[@DoodletheTravelBug]

I love that you brought a cooler along and I would not want to know what was under me. Ha ha ha. Your sis and you have such a great relationship.

[@SantosChronicles]

We only see each other like 1 -2 times a year, but as you can see it usually is some sort of adventure. More Eiffel coming, she is a channel favorite. I really thought there would be more fish but the river was running low when we we went. Hope you guys had a great 4th!

[@KimchiAndBeansVideos]

This looks super fun guys. And everything looks so green. Would love to make it to the Smoky Mountains one day. It's on our bucket list for sure.

[@SantosChronicles]

I'm surprised you haven't been there yet. This was our first time. There is so much to do there that it was a little overwhelming. We'll have to get the 2 families together soon.

[@Terry.W]

Nothing better than messing about on the river on a hot day ....as long as there is no crocodiles about...

[@SantosChronicles]

That was our first time doing that and so glad we did. No crocodiles, but I was looking out for Bears.

[@SwiftyTravels]

The Gatlinburg area has so many fun things to do! I would totally fall asleep as well!😂😂 glad you found the fish!! 😂 🐠

[@SantosChronicles]

LOL, I thought I would see so many fish. I was wrong. And the river was very low the time we went.

[@wildzenventures]

Loved this! Definitely my kind of outdoor fun. 😎 Looks like everyone has a great time.

[@SantosChronicles]

This was our first time doing this and we'll definitely try to find another place that does this. Much better than just a water park lazy river.

[@braceyourselfchannel]

We just pulled up this video to check you guys out and see that WE ARE LITERALLY IN THE VIDEO! We were there the same day filming and Grace even remembers talking to you about our cameras and microphones! That’s insane! We are right there wandering around the lobby when your video opens! 😂

[@SantosChronicles]

What are the odds. I originally thought it was you guys but the shirt on your intro was different. But I went back on your video and saw me dragging the cooler on your intro. I wish I knew you guys were KZbinrs. Not many people I can talk shop about youtube. Thanks for checking out our channel.

[@RobbZipp]

My tubing video I made 3 years ago is still doing well! There was a snake in the river. Scary!

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, KZbin seems to like it. They are suggesting it way more than recent videos. I don't know what I would do if I saw a snake. I see you shortened your Channel name.

[@RobbZipp]

@@SantosChronicles yeah. It was too long.

[@OurNationalAdventure]

Welcome to the south!! You are inching closer to Georgia ❤

[@SantosChronicles]

We still have so much to do in Georgia. My sister was telling me about her trip to Helen, GA. And I told her I just saw a video from my friends about that place.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

Whoa this looks like so much fun!! We loved our trip to Pigeon Forge area, so pretty and such a fun spot. I wish we checked this place out though!! The tubing looks like so much fun. What a relaxing way to enjoy the beautiful nature of the smokies. That's right up my alley and a nice way to cool off haha. Great idea to bring the cooler too lol, H2O is important in the heat! Love your underwater hunt to see some fish! Last chance.... I SAW THE FISH!! You did it! hahaha hooray! The rapids look fun lol! Great job getting the yellow rope lol. What a great day. Awesome video as always!! :)

[@SantosChronicles]

Someone from work recommended it and so glad I listened. So much to do over there. We were suppose to go to Dollywood on this day but it was too hot so we did this instead. We did Dollywood the next day. Hope you are both having a great summer.

[@NickandRachel]

Have never been tubing up there before. I have a place I want to go you can go tubing past the waterfall in Bryson City North Carolina and the Smokies. Deep Creek area. Well at least you got to see one fish lol Hope yall had a good time in the Smokies!

[@SantosChronicles]

It was fun, but now my KZbin feed has all the Bears showing up at all the places we went like Anakeesta, Cade Cove, and the downtown area. I really thought I would see more fish, but the river was pretty low. It was a fun time. And we'll have to go back (with Bear Spray).

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

We just come back from a cruise and I’d rather have been where you are. Thanks for sharing and hope y’all had a great vacation.

[@SantosChronicles]

Oh wow, a cruise sounds really fun. Where did you guys go? The vacation was great and it was great to see my sister and her family.

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

@@SantosChronicles we went to the Bahamas, it was nice but I didn’t lime being cooped up.

[@janisparr8592]

This looked like lots of fun!!

[@SantosChronicles]

Addison said it was her favorite thing of the trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.

[@PogiboyProductions]

That's the best!! One long lazy river lol.. I'd do it!! Everything is always cheaper online! Great job being the security guard for the drinks lol.. almost at 4K!! yes, caught a fish at the end!! They like to hide!

[@SantosChronicles]

It was a mission for the fish. I looked at so much footage until I found that one. The lazy river was a good change of pace for all the things we did.

[@bradandamy]

I wish we would have done this when we were there - looks relaxing!

[@SantosChronicles]

We were suppose to go to Dollywood but changed the days cause it was too hot. This was what the doctor ordered.

[@FLACKFAM]

I saw the fish! This looks so fun! I would love the rapid areas! I thought you were headed down the river 😂!

[@SantosChronicles]

I had to go through about 30 min of underwater footage to see that 1 fish 🤣. It was a close one, I kept falling asleep on the river.

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Looks like fun! We did river tubing one time in the Caribbean one time and it was cool, but the river was so shallow at some points they had to have guys standing along the route to help get us unjammed. Another time we did cave tubing at the glow worm caves in New Zealand! Hope you had a great time and glad you saw your fish!

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, there was several shallow areas also that we had to handle ourselves. It's a different experience depending how high the river is. Was that glow worm cave the same one as the latest Mr. Beast Video. My whole goal the whole video was to get this cool montage of fish swimming; ended up getting lucky to just see one.

[@adventuresintvland]

We used to to visit Pigeon Forge quite often as a family when I was growing up. The place we stayed at was a little set of kitchenette units along the Pigeon River near the campgrounds. One of my earliest videos was on the place. Anyway, we used to tube down the river near there all the time. We never did it with a group that you paid though. Anyway, this video brought back some of those memories. Thanks you for sharing

[@SantosChronicles]

This was our first time. We were wimps and did not step outside to hike or camp with all those Bears. Glad we were able to make our memories like you did. Thanks for watching man.

[@adventuresintvland]

@@SantosChronicles There really isn’t any reason to be afraid of the bears. If you camp; just put food and stuff in bear traps and not in tents. If you sleep in cabins, not really much to worry about. The bears try to stay away from people.

[@eiffellynyap3661]

This was so perfect to do between amusement park days! I don’t know if we would have made it if we did Dollywood the day after Anakeesta 🤣 Your edit when I was trying to get myself some H2O from the cooler had me laughing so hard 🤣 Also, me and Addie yelling for you to grab the rope was hilarious! It was so fun and super relaxing ❤

[@SantosChronicles]

When I was editing, I was laughing seeing paddle so hard. I should have also done a zoom in at the same time. I would have been so mad if I missed that rope. Such a fun time. Based on all the videos, seems like you and I hanging out 24/7.

[@DMSAdventures]

Look at you guys and your outdoor adventures!! See, no big deal! Soon you'll be doing backpacking trips!! ;-) Great story idea to find the fish and tie it all together. But did you REALLY get the shot of the fish at the end? Hmmmm? :-) The Pigeon River is so pretty and scenic. Its beautiful going through Pigeon Forge. There is a Buccee's at an exit of Sevierville as well so you probably passed two of them. Great River Cruise!!

[@SantosChronicles]

No hiking on this trip - way too many bears. That Fish shot has a story. I had a goal of getting all this fish shot and it would look great on a lazy river montage. After going through 30 min of footage (tried 6-7 times), I finally found it on try number 6 or 7. And that's how that story line came along. We did make it to a Buccee's and was surprised how busy it was.

[@DestinationEarth]

H20 - the most responsible adult beverage, lol. That said, it looks like the perfect time for a good beer as well! Woohoo! You got your fish shot (kinda) :p

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, I had this grand vision of all this cool underwater shots to use as B Roll for a montage. After going through about 30 min of footage, that was the best I found 😂. It was a fun trip and this was Addison's favorite of the trip.

[@JenniferandMark2014]

I’d be like Eiffel 😂 looks like fun 🤗Jenn

[@SantosChronicles]

My sister always cracks me up and that's why I keep her around. It was so fun. It was my oldest favorite of the trip.

[@Laura_Reads]

Looks so fun!! We’ll have to try this next time we’re in the Smokies. We stayed in Sevierville when we were there, and it was such a fun place for our family to visit! I haven’t been on a float trip in a long time! Oooh snacks in the cooler would’ve been a great idea. 😅 Glad you finally found the fish!

[@SantosChronicles]

I like the your profile pic on this. Really stands out with the orange background. But I didn't realize it was you. Thought it was a random who was watching. I forgot you have a second channel. Let me go there and make sure to subscribe also. Those pesky fish were hard to find for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@Laura_Reads]

@@SantosChronicles lol darn it, I wasn’t signed into the right account, apparently! Glad you figured out the mystery…. Haha

[@TheTolleRoad]

They trusted you with the cooler 😂?!?! I really thought you missed the rope. Figured there was a search party out for you still.

[@SantosChronicles]

It was a close one with the rope. But glad I caught it. It was a fun day. With all these Eiffel and Family videos, it seems see each other every day. Reality is only once in awhile.

[@AndyandRachel]

I am obsessed with tubing but usually have to drag the fam along... it's been a few years though. I suppose they would probably do better at an organized place like this. I just buy tubes and try going down a river but it is usually too shallow hehe Thanks for the heads up on the online savings. Family goals here! Great share and inspiration for our fam. Thanks :)

[@SantosChronicles]

This was our first time. The river was low so that was why it took us 3 hours. One high river it can be as short as 45 min. they said. Pretty smart just buying your own. My oldest said that was her favorite part of the trip.

[@OurNationalAdventure]

Oh my gosh!!! You need to tube down some faster rivers!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, it was pretty slow because the water levels were down. They said if it was full river it would only take 45 min. We are not pros like you guys 😀

[@Parr4theCourse]

Love a niece easy relaxing lazy river raft ride! Nice booties 😜🤪 If I “unsubscribe” and “re-subscribe” would that help??? Y’all can’t say “I’m Hungry”… Janis has a trademark on that phrase 🤪😜 Hummmm, you know a good attorney I could hire😜🤪🤣😂

[@SantosChronicles]

Waiting to see the "I'm Hungry" shirt with Janis Face on it! It was a fun trip for sure.
