Kayak Camping - thru paddle on the French Broad River E5

Pete and Brian continue down river after a perfect hang in the hammocks. They take on the mighty section 9!

[@tomphelan6100]

Wow Pete what a cliff hanger. Hats off for taking on the beast in sea kayaks.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

tom phelan thanks!

[@shaneoakley8757]

Wow! I feel like I’m watching a good Netflix series and can’t wait to click play on the next episode!!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Shane

[@GeorgiaPaddler]

We were talking about the types of stories we liked that Sunday at Wilson ( no ‘s) See old man can learn!😂 I finally found the cliffhanger here! I can’t tell you how many nights since my surgery I’ve needed my sleep but have been up till sometimes 5 in the morning watching these expeditions. It’s all I think about. I am so looking forward to my adventures.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thats what Im talking about Thomas!!!

[@highvoltageclimber]

Wow it’s like watching a great adventure movie I can’t wait to see what happens next.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I think you will like it!

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

Wow! Another awesome! What a cliffhanger man!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Kentucky Woodsman yeah I hated to do it to everyone he he he, but it would have been a really long video otherwise. Thanks man!

[@brianvail2446]

Man! It's fun watching you navigate so calmly and effortlessly through Maze. Slow enough for my untrained eye to see some of what you do.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Brian!

[@timdrinnan]

The drama!!! I tell you Pete you better not leave it long before the outcome of this cliff hanger is know or you might start losing subscribers lol. Fantastic and amazing video once again .

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on Tim! I am halfway through it now...Thank you Sir!

[@rodneyclay9578]

Great video and I hope Brian was alright. He took a long swim and looked like he was getting a beating on the rocks and you was looking and sounding concerned. Don't make us wait to long to see how it worked out for you and Brian.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Rodney Clay its almost done now

[@1963shay]

Amazing!! And a cliffhanger. I’m shaking

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Shay!

[@scottmeacham1738]

Amazing video! You guys headed straight into the storm! Glad you made it Brian. I bet that's an experience you'll never forget. And Pete....backwards? I have no words except Mad Respect!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Scott Meacham thanks man! I needed to be facing upstream wen he grabbed or i wud not be able to tow him to safety.

[@riverkingbrian9264]

Wait to see the next one, while I’m drowning and he’s switching camera angles for “more dramatic video”....

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Your family would have wanted it that way...for educational videos....lol

[@canoesino9290]

FB9 is my favorite run. Nice catch 3:00-3:20 mountain top sticking up thru the morning fog

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Canoesino!

[@cathlyn205]

[@RiverKingsKayak]

[@royalkrizberger3345]

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Royal Krizberger thanks man. I'm sure we're not the first but at least some of the few

[@jameswarren3733]

[@garycousino4016]

Have an old Mad River ME canoe. Perfect white water camper. We camp on section 9 at least once a year

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Right on!

[@J.Carlson4745]

I kayak and love it but camping and avoiding dams and portaging is something I could never do, being in a wheelchair. im with team river runners located in IL and love thes guys. Watching your videos make me want to get on the water. I would if I had my own kayak. Just need to wait till the next team meet. sighs..

[@RiverKingsKayak]

There is a way to make that happen I'm sure. Keep at it Jay! Where do you live?

[@J.Carlson4745]

@@RiverKingsKayak I'm in Decatur,IL.

[@randytaylor1871]

I saw a look in your face that anyone who has ever meet you would know was serious concern. Awesome job, I think from the S on it maybe a little past sketchy

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Randy Taylor yeah man! He was struggling!

[@riverkingbrian9264]

Struggling, heck I had it in the bag- still had my paddle, who needs a boat??😇🤕

[@randytaylor1871]

River King Brian buddy that was some sick water for that boat

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Hes a boss...

[@riverkingbrian9264]

Randy Taylor Optimus handled it better than I did!

[@bobneuman8124]

I'd have to say if Shane was with you guys in that stretch , you would have to set the Bell tone to automatic while editing the video, lol.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I just fell out of my chair laughing! But I dont know...he has a Prijon Yukon now! He might do a lot less swimming!

[@MonkeyNAround]

Thanks for the confidence Robert I am always just checking water quality when I'm out on the river

[@bobneuman8124]

Monkey N Around Hey Shane, if you and Kevin decide to have another get your paddles wet in 2019 I would like to try and sign up for it. You all are close by to me for I'm in the triad of nc. I would not mine joining you all on the the river for a day or two ! , It looks like it would be fun , and I don't know how you all feel about meeting up with people u don't know so I have no idea how we would get in touch.

[@MonkeyNAround]

Hey Robert that is actually how Kevin and I met. We have not decided on another #GetYourPaddlesWet Trip this year as of yet. I am on Facebook @ MonkeyNAround. My email is [e-mail] if you do not have Facebook. Follow us on FB and stay up to date with our trips.

[@bobneuman8124]

Monkey N Around Thank you Shane ! , I will, you all seem to be some nice people and will look forward to meeting someday. My son and I are new to kayaking and I came across your channel and the others to learn and to pass it on to my son as well, again thank you and the other guys as well !.

[@Borgodz]

Awesome vid. I live 10 minutes away from the Ledges Park

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Nazar Sad!

[@charliestrickland8193]

Really Pete?!?! Lol. “WOW” that will have to do. I hate Adam had to early out that to bad. That ending was like a scene from Titanic hehehe.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

well, it is the perfect hang! he he

[@nathanmullins836]

It’s 23:00 I should have been asleep an hour ago , I figured I would watch this and then fall right to sleep....big mistake

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Nathan Mullins sorry brother! LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@dannyminton8870]

Great job Bryan has to check the bottom out he's awesome save a Kayak use you body he's seen the river from all sides my hero!! Just kidding I hope your alright

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Scouting for Trout!

[@riverkingbrian9264]

Pete only sees above a river- ever since the Greenbrier I try to “immerse” myself in the entire experience....

[@MonkeyNAround]

Watching back over the series and realized I have not left a comment in this one. COMMENT!!!!

[@seanbowen2645]

What hammock do you bring on your trips?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Warbonnet Blackbird

[@kippercat123]

Why dont yall use paddle leashes ?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

great question! in current, the leash is an entrapment hazard. When on a river, it should never be used.

[@kippercat123]

@@RiverKingsKayak does that apply to class 1 and 2 rapids ?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

@@kippercat123 yes, for sure!
