      Yep imagine that people from all over the country hugging and drinking and shaking hands and having a big potluck for 5 days and nobody got any dang covid. Because it's more survivable then the flu any less dangerous but easy to manipulate numbers for everyone's agenda. Some of us however still want to be human and get together and see each other's faces laughing and smiling and that is truly what will kill the virus of fear and hate

      @jasond4113 3 года назад

      @@TripSmith Just because you were thinking the same way and being careless en masse doesn't mean it was right. Some of these rural areas are getting hit the worst. Even if you don't die from covid there are effects that last for who knows how long: memory loss, heart disease, intestinal complications, and black toes from your body attacking it's own covid infested cells. Your irresponsible choices could effect untold people - people who weren't even there(even all the way to Colorado)... doesn't really matter how you feel about it personally. I'm sure glad you had a good time, but we need get all you self-focused people to understand you are the problem; events and attitudes like this are the reason we are at the bottom of the world in this pandemic. You might be comfortable with your choice, but your choice might end up killing someone else. Y'all the reason we're in this 8 months with no sign of stopping. I want you to understand how much your choices can, and do, have impact on others. How would you feel if someone is hospitalized or dies because of good ol" rockadock? Pretending it just doesn't exist or it's no big deal is just terrible. You should read up before hosting potential super spreader events. Shame, used to be a fan. I thought you were better than that Trip.

    I might suggest you try to invest in walkie-talkies for volunteers and sign up reservists.
    I use them on my diving sights and in my new business venture where communication is critical.

    I likecadding ideas to the pot; Hey; consider kayak canoe paddle board DYI CUSTOM features or pimp my kayak contests as an event.
    It would be interesting to see some of the unique custom additions people are making to their water craft.
    If they haven’t then an annual contest to show off their skills might develop into a Kayakerfest or kayak build-off.
    Our company actually built a portion of the 2005 Discovery channel’s BIKER BUILD OFF series trophy and several of the sets. Well the custom bike era is a past thing but who knows; PIMP MY KAYAK might take its place.
    Take care; 👍

      This is my own designs all engineered, constructed and installed prior to testing. The day I test it will be a one night camp out so; it’ll have to be a success or total bust.
      I don’t know what it will be but it’ll be a huge solo trip on my kayak. And I will be documenting it via a new Go Pro.
