Cool ride Chigg

[@radrob4403]

At 9:00 in the video where the stone pillars are in the river it seems like a good place to metal detect and look for artifacts. People could have been standing on top of the bridge and thrown stuff off in the old days down river with the current.

[@slimwantedman6694]

Loved it...

[@SuperNetSpyder]

Man, I love living a larger life by watching what you do. Some day I'll get out there...

[@tallSycamore]

My pop was a WWII combat veteran. I think the only time he felt truly free of his memories was when he was flying down the Potomac river in his beat-up bass boat. He used to take me for rides. It was awesome!

[@OldButStillKicking]

Thanks for the ride while I'm still "kicking". I always appreciate a ride on the Potomac in the Jetboat with my favorite KZbinr!

[@aquachigger]

Thanks so much for the donation!

[@Gemturbo]

Thank you for the lovely boat ride. The sky looked so beautiful against the greens of the trees. Definitely beautiful country over there.

[@AnotherMN_Fan]

I always enjoy it when you take us for a ride in the Jetboat! You get lots of grins per mile with that ride. I'd never see so much of the Potomac without your videos. Thanks as always, Beau.

[@terryratcliffe4083]

I loved visiting Harper’s Ferry. So much history!

Just love that river corvette of yours. Always appreciate the ride. Be well.

[@Yinzzy656]

Thanks Chigg, love ya.... And yeeees i remember the video of that beaver. Crazy. Lastly, when you do decide to fish, please include it.. Thanks buddy.

[@aquachigger]

I did but forgot my hat cam. Caught a bunch.

[@edhughes8262]

I’ve been in a jet boat fishing the Susquehanna River for smallmouth and being able to go where propellers can’t is a big plus. Thanks for the ride along and for taking us by the scene of your attack. I don’t know anyone who’s been tackled and mauled by a rabied beaver while hunting and lived, except you. Looking forward to PawPaw munching season in Aug/Sept. Happy hunting.

[@marthapatebell1040]

I remember you and that rabied beaver! Scary! You scare me Chig, with you flying down that river! I bet your wife gets 'chilled' watching you! LOL..Be safe!

[@philipCallicoat]

That's the beaver who hates two legged birch trees 😂... Truthfully , I can be thankful that the medical world has developed a way to treat rabies effectively....We would be missing you terrible 😔... I too have had an encounter with an insane beaver!!!! Her name is Jannell.... she was not in the mood for getting along with ni...🤕 Ah love 😘,!!!!

Сподіваюся, ваше бажання здійсниться. Слава Україні

[@garycousino]

It takes experience and good eye sight to read the river going at light speed. Been paddling white water for 50+

[@christopherbraiden6713]

Thanks for the ride Chigg it's really awesome too e able too go through at that speed. I remember the beaver when it bit your bum and you having the jab!!😎🐓🐓🐓🐓🇬🇧🇺🇦

[@aquachigger]

I remember... it was a jerk.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

Thanks for the ride

[@HappyHands.]

Really beautiful there

[@docneuro4500]

Beautiful! I used to live in Maryland and always enjoyed going down to the Potomac to hike the the old C&O Canal Towpath. Also enjoyed visiting Harper’s Ferry and hiking in that area, too. Lovely part of the country.

[@Quantrills.Raiders]

the large islands of trees by the bridge @4:48 are old foundations of a bridge that stonewall jackson blew up during the civil war. I camped near here on the fourth of july about a decade ago, harpers ferry is probably my favorite place on the entire eastern united states, lots of history

[@dailydoseofnews4828]

That's cool

[@jonnycarrick7552]

Always love to see a new chig video, looking great chig when you coming back to the UK 🎉

[@lolAnnMarie182]

I’ve lived in WV my entire life and I’m pretty sure you’ve explored more of my home state than I ever have.

[@Dirkdaring44]

I live near(ish) you by the Potomac, every time I see your jet boat videos I keep saying to myself "I gotta get me one of those!"

[@rockycanyonchorin]

Excellent side adventure to your normal great treasure hunting videos. I suspect the views on the beaver bite video are about to go up....made me look it up.. somehow in my many hours of binging your content I missed that one.👍👍👍

[@dirtslingerx]

11:28 fish jump behind you . Great vid

[@OneRoomSchoolHouse]

"That's where I got bit in the butt by a beaver!" love it

[@TGSureal]

Maybe an idea to throw a hand winch, a couple D rings, and a couple straps in the boat, and you could rig something up to pull it out if you run aground near trees.

[@janehelbert7551]

I remember that video!

[@OutLan]

You are my spirit animal ☺️

[@AndrewBowles-p5r]

6 minutes of boat riding and nothing else, enjoy

[@dennismorris3254]

Man IL love it its a break from hunting

[@maarten.dejong]

The very parts of the river I used to frequent... My Dad was a Dutch diplomat in the 90s while living in Bethesda, MD. I paddled the mentioned parts of the river, in canoe and kayak, many-a-time. Good times!

[@KevinSmith-yh6tl]

GREAT SHOE! 👍

[@johnwillis12454]

If I'm not mistaken, the beaver attack site is marked with a plaque and listed in the registry of historical places !

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good one chigg👍🇺🇲

[@cindyriviera6455]

Beautiful river tour.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Beautiful views along the river -- have never seen that area from that perspective! Hey -- get one of those real strong 'magnet fishing' magnets and 'troll' it behind your jetboat along the river and see what you get!

[@stevelaconte8802]

Just going between those rocks would make me nervous

Goid stuff chig

[@vito336]

Out here in Oakland, we have the Pacific, and San Francisco Bay, but we don’t have rivers or creeks like this. I, of course, look at the land and can easily see large numbers of men in uniforms. Did those men, 160-some years ago see those woods and the rocks in the river? Yep.

[@OnCloud108]

Hahaha what an awesome video chig, thanks!

[@janehelbert7551]

Harper's Ferry is a famous place!

Just Google "rabid beaver"

As always loved the video did you catch any fish on the way back

CHIG, Funny you mention having to get Rabbi shots, in 1968 I was sleeping in a tent and, my buddies dog kicked up a couple rats that were under a shed well, the rats ran up the tent and fell through the canvas that was rotted,, and, landed on my face & one rat had bite me real bad went to the Dr. where they cultured the wound to find out the rat’s were rabid and, had to receive some 12 shots in my stomach remember that well it was not pleasant.!!

Hi Chig, you keep mentioning Harper's valley and I can remember a song from the early 60s about the Harper's valley PTA. Is this the same place, and do you know why they sang about it? JMK FROM THE UK 👌👍

[@aquachigger]

Nah, it's not.

[@dabprod]

Now I have to go look-up River Rat jet boats. lol

[@scottnyc6572]

Was that a bobcat or mountain lion running across just before you had to put the emergency brakes on? Where’s the ferry in Harper’s Ferry?

[@vickykirts7956]

Do log jams by the bridge pylons get cleared up or are they left for the next flood?

[@BruceGordon925]

Only a matter of time before you cut a hole thru the bottom. I bet there's areas you get thru with 4 inchs of water.

[@5.56Media]

Harpers Ferry ... watch out for falling troll trains.

[@michaelrawles1487]

How fast will it go

[@CalebNomar]

Have you ever found anything civil war or revolutionary war related in the river near harpers ferry? I need to visit Harpers ferry at some point.

[@basilkey2949]

I'm sure you have told this before. How fast does it go with just you in it?

[@aquachigger]

Speedometer says 50, but I don't know how accurate it is.

ahh lol its not funny , but I do remember the rabid beaver video, I thought that looked familiar lol
