The Upper Green

We headed up to the Upper Green for a 200% (2 unit) release. I needed to make a run in that direction anyway to pick up a couple of new boats. Jerry Yang, Nate Sherrin, Adam Davis and I enjoyed a nice chill day on a beautiful river. 2 units is a way better experience on this particular run as it becomes much less scrapey. Then I found the world's best World's best hamburger!

River is moving pretty good. Great video and looks like a great group of guys that don't take themselves too seriously. Keep the content coming!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Ryan!

[@shawhi1]

If you're ever in Wickes, Arkansas to run the Cossatot, you gotta make a stop at the Lighthouse and try out their hamburger called "The Hog". Delicious! Thanks for showing how to use a strap to make a shoulder harness. Can't wait to try.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Will do Shaw!!!! sounds amazing!

[@macfawlty]

Nice little run Pete. Thanks for the shoulder strap tips.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks macfawlty! the straps are much better than the shoulder...

Green River BBQ has been perhaps the biggest highlight for me as I’ve gotten into whitewater kayaking…the sausage dip is to die for!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

That place is so good!

[@absoluteelectricandmainten7432]

Green River BBQ is the THE!!
Their food is just so good.
Never been disappointed.
Looks like a good time on the upper. I hope I can be good enough one day to rate a run there.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

It is really good! And THANKS for the tip on window tint removal...perhaps you noticed one can see out now! LOL!

[@absoluteelectricandmainten7432]

@@RiverKingsKayak HOW COOL!! Glad to share a suggestion, especially after all I have learned from watching your channel!

[@danielwheeldon9180]

Hi Pete, just wanted to thank you for your content. I'm watching from Chesterfield in England, and will be taking one of my two kayaks out whenever I get the chance next year, but for now, really appreciate your positive vibes. Cant wait to ring the swimmers bell, and shout "nailed it" when one of my buddies pull off something epic! Have a great xmas. Dan.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Daniel! Glad to have you on board!

[@paksaokayaking4234]

Totally made me want to hit the river and eat burgers soooo baaaaad!!!! Awesome as always!! Thanks again Pete 😎

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks Pak!!! Get after it!!

[@Jesusisthewayandtruth]

Good times!!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks brother and thanks for the footy!! Nice meeting you and look forward to getting you on Wilsons!

[@MTmixer84]

Gratz on the macho. I love mine.

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks FOS4L! I put it on Wilson Creek yesterday. good boat.

[@danwhigham829]

Could you make a separate video about how you make the loop/sling/backpack at the takeout? I believe I understand it. Wrap around under the seat, bring the loop through the stern handle, step in, use the upper part as your shoulder straps, and tighten around your waist?

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Great idea Dan! I will get that one done soon! Thanks!
and yes, thats pretty much it, but I use the attachment loops behind the seat and not around the seat so to speak...

[@3-gunjack368]

Sad I couldn't make the live premiere, but that river's looking good!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks 3GJ!!!

[@bobbystaats1145]

River looks so different than when Jerry paddle it !!!! Looks like y’all had a great day 😇😇😇💦💦💦💦

[@RiverKingsKayak]

He made that run the same morning before we got there but the water was not up to that level yet...he was ahead of the bubble...

[@hunterwhitekayak]

This looks like so much fun brother! Could y’all meet up in the next month or so for a run one weekend?!

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I am sure!

[@Benjamin_Holland]

When are the "2-unit" releases? Just with heavy rain? They don't advertise the 200% on the release schedule. Nice vid

[@RiverKingsKayak]

I am not really sure...There is probably a link on the AW website that can get you whatever info is out there...

[@blakewhite5627]

Do you run the new river or gauly in WV I’d love to take a trip with you and your crew of paddlers

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Yes, but it has been quite some time...I need to purpose to get back up that way soon!

[@sticksstones8498]

Thumbs up☝

[@RiverKingsKayak]

Thanks S&S!

[@patricksigmon600]

Is this the section above lake adger? I would like to go with you guy's but my whitewater boat skills are limited and ive gained weight. I have a liquid logic hoss

[@RiverKingsKayak]

This section is right above the Green River Narrows...

[@patricksigmon600]

There are 3 different branches of the green, have you done any other section of the green. Ive done the upper first broad just for site seeing!
