Hi, I'm 68 and thinking of getting a Kayak. I live on a 27' sailboat. Sometimes when I go out overnight I stay in a bay. I think a kayak would be a great way to explore around the nooks. I loved this episode. It was great seeing the simple gear you took along for the overnight portion. The bivy sac looked great. I always enjoy your explorations of the remnants of indigenous cultures. Your appreciation of history is wonderful. Thank you for what you do.

Lifetime kayak has a 8.5foot sit on top with 250lb weight limit. I can throw it in my Honda CRV and be at the river in 10 minutes. I’m 71yrs young, so weight of the yak is manageable. 🌈🌴💖 Florida Granny

We use these shards as inspiration for the designs on our pottery that we make.. My son is Navajo/Choctaw, and I am a Choctaw Native,... taking pottery and treating them as a modern human treats things is bad ju ju... If you treat them like your children they will be good to have,... if you treat them like a dog they will show you what you are...Some consider that bad ju ju... the bad ju ju is in the passive habits that most people have while in possession of them... the elders say that some of these shards were used and broken during pandemics of the past and that the memory of the suffering remains in the pottery shards... So you are right about not taking them... Not touching them is also a good idea if you want you and your family to be safe....

I'm glad you got in a swim. It's a refreshing experience that I have enjoyed a couple of times. I know that it's a long way from where you live but I have to recommend a trip to our First National River, The Buffalo, Ponca-Arkansas area in May. Since you and I avoid the crowds, go mid-week if you get the chance. Thanks for another great video.

I took a several day commercial float trip down the San Juan beginning at Mexican Hat landing down river through the goosenecks nearly 20 years ago - wow! Your video brings back great memories. Like you, I usually do my camping in the back of my SUV (Ford Escape) often in boondocking areas of public lands. Your videos are wonderful in landscapes I love. FYI - found you via "Finding Simon" recommendation, another KZbinr with great outdoor travel adventures.

Kayak camping tip... bring thick wool blend winter socks. When you made camp brush off your feet. Splash your feet with water to get sand out of your toes. Put the thick socks on and they'll wick the little bit of water off. Then put your sandals back on with the socks on. Dry feet, and at bed time just brush the excess camp dirt off the socks and hop in your sleeping bag.

Monument Valley is still a special place. I went for the first time in 1992 camped in my tent overlooking the Mittens. After the second and third visits, the campsite was still there. I spent 3 days and 2 nights on horseback with a Navajo guide. The last time was 2012, an hotel now obscures the view from where the campsite used to be, great pity. No need to go back again.

Did a 3 day trip with my scouts on that river . Started at Mexican Hat and did volunteer work for the Park Service cleaning up brush from camp sites. Also visited Indian sites. The river is the third most heavily silt laden river in the world. Many sand bars at the takeout as the backwater from the dam occurs. The lower canyon we passed thru looked like a mini Grand Canyon at the "Goosenecks section".

I don't know about there but here in New Mexico we find "Mortar" holes, sometimes called "Indian Wells" where natives many years ago used hard rocks to grind impressions, "Mortars" for grinding; presumably things like Mesquite pods into flour to make a bread-like food & such. Often times, in the dry areas the mortar depressions can be used to collect water as well. These are found in areas where encampments were set up. Frequently, the holes cut into the vertical rock walls were thought to have been used to support wood poles to create rain shelters. Nice video. Looked like great fun & terrific interesting petroglyphs.

The sounds of the ducks echoed like no one was there. Cliffs are beautiful. Where they like sand? I loved all the markings in the rock maybe I will see this some time. It looks very interesting and fun. I think that cow was miss placed must be from Oklahoma lol. I loved this whole trip. Very interesting for sure.it looks nice you being with someone this trip. You both look like you enjoyed the trip. I like the buckets packed, nice choice. The view of your second day again is amazing, the goats are Cool 😎 You guys scared me on the rapids there.

The 41:00 point reminded of my first canoe trip when I tipped the canoe. My wife was mad I lost my sandals learned a lot for another dozen successful canoe trips

that looked like fun. Gorgeous rock formations. Wonder if those holes were navigational marks to read from the water to locate a location on land. Natives were pretty clever. Thanks for taking me along.

Good paddle trip. Thanks. Good to see you wearing a PFD. Regs usually say one has to be 'in reach' and the guys who drown had them in reach, but.... I'm a sea kayaker, not a river guy so I might not be the best source. However, Your yak has no buoyancy once it gets dunked. A yak like yours you need to have flotation bags as large as you can get, fore and aft. You can make your own, and they aren't wasted space. You can pack them full of gear (they're basically pointy dry bags, same roll up, so one that's too long really isn't.) They should also be tied in, best is at the very back and very front--then you only need the one point. The way to do this is to put a U bolt or pulley inside at the bow and stern. Also a paddle leash is good, and a back up paddle. If you get dumped the kayak is going to do one thing, the paddle another and you'll start where it all was. Once you pop up you have to decide whether you swim for the boat that has no paddle or the paddle that has no boat. All this sounds worse than it is. When I was building my first kayak I found a book Deep Trouble about all the ways you can die in a sea kayak. All I've had to do for the past 15 years is not make any of those specific mistakes (but I've come up with several of my own.) Experience river kayakers will know all the stuff that will keep you alive and having fun.

Amazing video. Really enjoyed it and it got a little exciting there for awhile. Yikes. I like the long videos

Thanks Eddy! Glad you liked it. I like the long videos too. Not all the time (they require a ton of editing), but I felt that this particular adventure worked better as a single video than two or even three shorter ones.
