KAYAK CAMPING-CAVE RUN LAKE KENTUCKY

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Let me know your favorite lake to go to in the summertime

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

We have a couple of big lakes in Missouri, Jason. We will be headed to both of them this month. Lake of the Ozarks and Table Rock Lake. Fun times!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

@@HappyTrailsHiking I’m definitely going to look into Lake of the Ozarks. Thanks for the tip Kay and Matt.

[@SharingtheRoad]

So cool you were able to get on the water in so many conditions. That night khakying with the light looked awesome! 🛶

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I love nighttime kayaking. The water is so peaceful at night.

[@GoTrails]

Beautiful place, nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. There’s some beautiful lakes in Kentucky

[@4Lucky2]

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Lots of fun out there Ron. Thanks for watching and commenting and have a great day Ron

[@billyb5057]

camping in the rain Jason sounds heavy nice to keep dry tough can be when camping see getting plenty of use from the kayak too good camp fire *you have a like👍Au👍always a full watch*

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

It come A FLOOD!!! Looks like your gear was right for the trip! That cooler is pretty cool. I hate ticks. YUCK! What a beautiful trip! Liked the light show. :-) Thanks for taking us along, Jason! Kay

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Kay. My buddy Shawn has those lights for nighttime kayaking. I should get some too. Just to be safe. I love that Ice Mule Cooler. Works great for a weekend trip. Been thinking about getting a smaller one. Have a great day Kay

[@mykoreandreams7636]

Wow! That was great kayak camping my friend. I grew up besides the sea and been swimming my whole life too. Cheers and happy weekend my friend

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks my friend. I love the water this time of year.

[@strickysbackpackingadventures]

Yeah buddy! Love that relaxing style. 😎

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks my friend. In July and August I trade in my backpack for a kayak. Lol

[@potatothorn]

night kayaking looks so nice wow... ice mule is a pretty cool item thanks for showing us that... nice morning music looks like a great trip thanks for taking us along

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I love nighttime kayaking. It’s so peaceful. Ice mule is awesome. Stays good for a 3 day trip. Ice really starts melting after that. Have a great day my friend

[@kurnianoen]

like it's so much fun

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. Lake Cumberland is a great place for some outdoor fun

[@PinetreeLine]

What a beautiful spot to be on the water Jason. Thunderstorms is one thing but hail is unfair 😂. That ice cooler bag is cool. Thanks brother!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I love that backpack cooler. It’s called Ice Mule. It usually keeps everything cold for the weekend.

[@Packsalot]

Nice trip, Jason. Way to mix it up a little with a canoe trip. That weather hit you hard there at the beginning. That cooler backpack was awesome. Great views across the lake. Have a great day.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks my friend. I absolutely love that backpack cooler. Works great for a weekend

[@DebCampos]

Ahhh my friend! Your adventures always leave me inspired to go back out there! Awesome video Jason 🌷🌷🌷!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Deb. Have a great day my friend

[@UK-Blue]

Good tips. Good advice. Great video! Fkn amazing cool-pack! Cheers Jason!!!! 🐕🙏👊

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks my friend. I love the water in the summertime. Have a great day my friend 👊🏻

[@HEAVENGLAMOUR]

great adventures stay safe friend

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks my friend. Have a fun weekend

[@GatewoodBrown]

Jason this was amazing! I’m partial but we’d love to see more kayak camping. Such a great summer alternative to backpacking haha. I always enjoy bringing luxuries in the kayak that wouldn’t meet weight requirements for backpacking

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Gatewood. Definitely more kayak camping videos coming. I love the summertime. To hot for backpacking but perfect for kayaking 😁😁 I love those luxury items too. So nice

[@GatewoodBrown]

@@BackpackingWithJason It's always fun to mix it up for sure. Especially when swim breaks are allowed haha

[@SurfandTurfTravel]

Thank you for this amazing sharing..awesome adventure video! Cheers, Surf and Turf travel!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. It was a lot of fun. Have a great weekend 👍🏻👊🏻

[@michaelpetersonbackpacking6077]

Looks like fun ! 👍👍

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Michael. It was a blast. Good times with good friends

[@JeremiahStringer]

Nighttime kayak looked cool. Love that backpack cooler. That’s on my list lol Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go listen to some flute music with Shawn

[@BackpackingWithJason]

😂😂😂😂. Shawn’s music is hilarious

[@PaddlingTramp]

Hi, so it was a nice paddling trip. I really like the neon lights they had around their necks. :))) David PT

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks David. I’m thinking about getting some of those lights too. Definitely easier for boats to see , than my headlamp when kayaking at night. Have a good day David

[@BURNWOODBUSHCRAFT]

That cooler pack is awesome! Nice adventure man!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Ice Mule Backpack Cooler is awesome. Perfect for a weekend on the water.

[@redwhiteblue7831]

No one has ever said I am beautiful... 😅😂🤣 Awesome trip... The rain was probably a relief out there with all that humidity you get. The lake looked amazing, great views from camp as well. Thank you for sharing, take care Jason. 🇺🇲

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I hope that made your day being called beautiful 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Kentucky is full of good lakes to go to. Cave Run is one of my favorites. Have a good day Jason 👊🏻

[@laagangkatabang]

Heavy rain.... Keep safe! Just watching here, new friend from Hongkong

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Hi. Thanks for watching. Greetings from Kentucky

[@DaveOffGrid]

Looks like a great time! Glad the weather never seems to damper your mood! Great video! Fav lake would be Tahoe.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I’m not going to let some rain ruin my good time 😁😁 Lake Tahoe is a bucket list for me. Nice

[@whatsthatguydoin8603]

Looks like a good time. Thanks for sharing this.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. Good times with good friends

[@TheReadingandWritingLife]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

It was a blast. Have a great Sunday my friend

[@waterfallmadman]

Crazy man on the water when there is lightning. That rain storm looks pretty crazy as well. But I’m sure you must’ve had a lot of fun anyway. 😁

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I had a blast Madman 👍🏻👍🏻. Love being on that water

[@WyeExplorer]

What a bugger if you had gotten soaked Jason. As it happens the timing was spot on as was the hang in the end. Digging your mates music. Fits the beauty of the space. They sound like hippies. Ha ha! Mark

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Mark. I dig Shawn’s music too. Have a great day Mark 👊🏻

[@WyeExplorer]

@@BackpackingWithJason A pleasure Jason. Yeah, cool tunes.

[@unpavedexplorer338]

Very nice adventure. You ever kayak around lock 6. I camped right at lock 6 several times. Caught carp and catfish there too. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I haven’t kayaked lock 6 before. But I do like catching carp and catfish. Thanks for watching John and have a great day

[@BackcountryExposure]

Love it man!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Devin 😁 👊🏻

[@brittanycollins802]

Great video as always!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

😁 thanks Brittany

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Amen to that opening statement of if you live in the south you gotta find something else to do cuz its too hot to hike. I've been burning up over here in central Virginia. (I've been camping more than hiking as of late) Looks like a great yak trip for you guys. Love the little "sip sip"

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. July and August I turn in my backpack for a kayak 😁. I do enjoy a little “Sip Sip “sometimes in the woods 😂.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

My favorite lake is called Gull Lake near Brainerd, Mn. We went there every year growing up. This looked like a blast pal!! Ticks are always fun! Hoot listens to that music!!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

First time I’ve heard of Gull Lake. Thanks for the tip my friend. Hoot likes that music too. Lol. Hoot definitely needs to meet Shawn. Lol.

[@PierreFarrugia]

Beautiful

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thank you so much 👍🏻👊🏻

[@SouthernHike]

We love to Kayak the Flint River in GA during the summer. Such a easier way to get outdoors and not sweat so much haha. Hail I can say is something I have never experienced in the woods haha. Great video Jason!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

That hail started hitting me in the back and I was like, I better get my tarp up quickly 😂

[@Everydaybackpacker]

You’re beautiful and awesome too my friend! Great trip! My favorite lakes are much smaller but I like Beartooth lake or island lake up on the Beartooth pass.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. It’s always a fun time getting on some water. I’ve heard of Beartooth Lake.

[@daveo7669]

We go to Cave Run every possible chance in the Summer. Probably be there this Sunday too. Love the videos man!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Dave. I love Cave Run too. For backpacking or kayaking, it’s a fun place to be.

[@robertuffman3041]

i've not kayaked cave run but i would like to this fall and do some camping for sure. we have been to the grotto several times.

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

Man! Looked like an awesome kayak camping trip! I have not got to spend near enough time on Cave Run over the last 30 some years.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Cave Run is so much fun. You can still find remote places in those woods. Lots of fun

[@hikersofamerica1230]

Great video! Added this to the playlist under Kayaking & Camping!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. I love that Lake Life. Especially with good friends

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@MetroOnTheMove that is really cool. I’ve made so many friends through KZbin

[@MetroOnTheMove]

You should release your new line of Backpacking With Jason Kayaking Bags! Despite the rain, looks like you guys had a great time out there. Except for the five ticks!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I had a great time out there my friend. I love that Lake and River Life in the summertime. I got your stickers. Thanks so much for that 👍🏻👊🏻

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@BackpackingWithJason The heat has been intense this summer! Gotta stick near the water sources for sure to stay cool. Glad you had a good time out there! Glad to hear the stickers arrived! Have a great week my friend!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

@@MetroOnTheMove you have a great week too 👊🏻

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

Gotta love a good paddle adventure ! Ticks suck

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Ticks do suck. I love being on the water.

[@royanderson4173]

Put a glow stick at the campsite before sunset. Always makes it easier to find. Twin knobs is a great campground up at cave run

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Glow stick idea is a great one. Thanks. I’ll definitely be doing that one. June,July and August I love kayak camping

[@JourneyontheTrail]

Awesome lake trip bud! I love getting in the kayak this time of year. One of my favorites is Summerville Lake in WV.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I’ll have to check out Summerville Lake. I always love going to West Virginia. That’s where my parents grew up.

[@ColemanOutdoors]

I've always dreamed of getting a kayak, but never pulled the trigger. When I grow up maybe I'll be like you one day. Great trip dude and the cooler is pretty cool!!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks my friend. I say go ahead and pull the trigger on a kayak. I love that cooler. Definitely good for a weekend.

[@MobyLife]

I have never tried kayaking, it was interesting to see how it is!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Moby. I think you’d love kayaking Moby. It so much fun

[@jamessparrow7213]

I’ve lived in Kentucky most of my life and never been to Cave Run looks beautiful

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I highly recommend going to it. There’s some really cool campsites and the sunsets are really beautiful out there. Dale Hollow is my favorite lake but Cave Run is right up there.

[@jamessparrow7213]

@@BackpackingWithJason I’ve been to Dale Hollow a few times and Lake Cumberland I grew up next to Taylorsville Lake so most of the time was spent there

[@BakerBaker1-9]

Your vids always Rock !! Great area ! I been trying to get down there and fish the spillway/dam . Now I'm gonna bring my yak also ... THANKS for sharing , God bless

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks my friend. Cave Run is so much fun. I love backpacking and kayaking out there.

[@SeniorHiker77]

That was definitely different. Lot cooler that humping a trail or climbing a hill in the summertime.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I’m July and August, I have to be around water. Kentucky is packed full of good lakes and rivers to have fun in.

[@Smokeybeesnatural]

Samuel, Chad and I have a kayak trip planned for late August! Can't wait!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

To Cave Run or somewhere else?

Thanks. I love kayak camping. So much fun

[@gretchenlopez787]

I love this so much. Willie and I went to Grayson lake last weekend and it was beautiful. But I really want to do a trip like this, kayak and stop and camp.

This is great mate - l love this video! We have some man-made lakes in the area and I hope to do some vids in our summer

Thanks. I’d love to see some lakes in your area.

[@texashikeaholicsadventures]

Lol…. You’re beautiful too!!! We live about 20 minutes to Lake Whitney and about 30 min to lake Waco…..so I guess those would be our choices! Lol

[@BackpackingWithJason]

You and my mom both think I’m beautiful 😂😂 Thanks for the tips on the Lakes. I watch a channel called Gatewood Brown. You ever heard of him? He does a lot of kayaking in Texas.

[@texashikeaholicsadventures]

@@BackpackingWithJason yes! I discovered him last year when his channel was relatively small! I knew his channel would grow rapidly! Such great talent and content!!!

[@bearsandbutters]

Hey Jason! Great to see you out on the lake in a Kayak! It looked like an amazing trip besides the rainy part. Good thing you had a bag to keep your hammock dry. We love to kayak and Bears used to kayak all the time when she lived by the ocean. Great exercise and so peaceful to be out on the water. Very cool you got to go out at night as well for a paddle with your friends! Great video and love you to the moon and have a great day! 💖🌛💖

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks Bears and Butters. I’ve never kayaked in the ocean before. I want to , but I might be a little bit scared of the sharks 😂😂. You two have a great day , and I love ya 😁

[@MarisolsAdventures]

i just did some kayaking this weekend, the rain got me too but i've never done night kayaking that look terrifying and nice at the same time :)

[@BackpackingWithJason]

We was at a spot were many motor boats couldn’t go to when we was kayaking at night. It’s really fun and so peaceful. Have a great day my friend

[@DragonRoams]

Great overnight paddle. Night time on the water is nice when you have a beacon like that to follow. How did the ice pack hold up the next day?

[@BackpackingWithJason]

The ice pack did good. I usually put two small bags of ice in it. It will keep everything cold for the weekend. Haven’t tested it on a weeklong trip yet , but hopefully in the near future I can.

[@All_Things_Out_Doors]

Great outting Jason! Looks like there may have been some weather in the area....you know how I love lightening....🤣🤣🤣. Well done bud, see you soon!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

😂😂. Can’t wait to get on some water with you my friend.

[@SignalOutdoors]

I'm hoping to get a canoe one of these days. That looked like a blast. Thanks for taking us along Jason! 🤙

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Nothing much more fun than being on the water. Thanks for watching and have a great day

[@CasualGirlAdventures]

So far our go to lake is comins lake up near Ely, Nv. I have a recent video of us camping and fishing. You can check it out. The campground is cave lake but unfortunately the water is low for dam repair. but comins lake is better for us. love it. Love the lake life. Take care my friend. wish you would come to Las vegas and do some hiking or camping with us. I’ll even take you somewhere to eat.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Thanks. Next time I’m in Vegas I’ll take you up on that. Have a great day my friend 😁

[@jacobpoucher]

how do you like the ice mule? have you had it long?

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I really like it. Only got to use it on 3 day trips and nothing bigger than that so far. I usually put two small bags of ice in it and it works pretty good.

Watched your video it was great I was wondering if there's any time we could get together and do this
