Looks like it was an awesome trip!! Hate that I couldn’t make it, but glad to be able to introduce my wife to kayaking the New today! She’s excited about our next trip!
Just watched you boys doing the Greenbriar River in my old home state and now you are up in my new neck of the woods in Ashe County, NC. I've done this run several times enjoying the placid waters with not too much challenge but enjoyable none the less! Glad to have connected with your river trips and adventures!
Looks like a great trip. I love this section of the New and camping at River Bend. Hope yall left us 12 Stones guys some firewood for our trip up there this weekend. Always fun to see Greg's camp set up and load out. ..😂. I love the Bluff burger at the Bluffs....always a good stop when up that way.
There was already no firewood in that camp! We had to scrounge for what we found...this is unfortunately the biggest downside to camping in a designated camp site. I am writing this as you guys are out there...hope you are having a blast and staying dry!
Looks like you guys had a great time! Cathy and I were watching last night and I believe this week we are going to get her membered up!😁 Plan on being there for the next one sir!
Great video and an awesome trip. I did the catawba river from powerhouse rd to watermill yesterday and i used one of your videos and some others to research the trip. We had a good flow and a really good day.
Since I missed live stream I'll just drop my thoughts here: Wish Saxapaw wasn't 17 hours away. Fun trip. Cool to see a longboat party surf. Good tunes. I think the swimmer just wanted a sticker. That little girl now has a cool story to tell her friends at school. Gorgeous campsite. You're always picking on Kevin. Sounds like P5 needs a camp chair for Xmas. Nice job on the campsite sweep. I'm sure RKB appreciated it. How did Chris fit his camping gear into that boat? Nice Dad joke Pete. Burger time! Enjoyed the video and hope to see you on the River someday.

@@RiverKingsKayak I found a used Yukon Prijon but it doesn't seem to look like yours but rather like some blue ones, seen in this video. Is this the initial Yukon version, yours being version II? Is it interesting too? Do you know during which period it was produced because it doesn't seem very young? A bit like me, but fresher all the same!
@@RiverKingsKayak Thanks Pete. But it's weird, besides the color, it doesn't seem to look like yours 😉. I thought it was a different version from yours. I'm really going to have to change my glasses! Otherwise, I love your videos and your way of preparing and carrying out your navigations. Probably because I was also a soldier (French Marines Corps). I really appreciated the concept of acceptance by all participants of the objectives set. For the rest, it's great, images, paddling technique, kayak camping. I adore. Happy browsing everyone!
My friend and I have been doing the South Fork for the last two years. We always start at Zaloos canoes, travel to 221 for the night, then take out at kings creek. Curious if you would recommend another river similar in difficulty that is camping friendly like the new river is. Also love the channel, would love to run into you on the river some time!
The new is special that way. It is probably the most friendly in difficulty, and camping and shuttle that I know of. Perhaps a different section on this river? If you want to travel a bit, the current river in MO would be a good one.
What no Cole slaw on that burger? I went on a bike tour in NC back in 2000 and stopped in a place and got me a burger and they asked if I wanted everything on it I said yes well thinking like a Nebraskan it was going to have onion,lettuce, pickle on it but nope it had coleslaw on it and it was aaaaawesome
After over a year off water and bilateral knee surgery. I did Patton Run and nantahala fall upright.. the kayak community disappointed me when my wife swam and not a single throw rope was thrown .. but we both off the river safety

Right on Josh! If you ever meet Kevin, you will soon find that he is actually the one always picking on me! LOL. Yes, we need to find P5 a chair soon!
@@RiverKingsKayak lol, I can see that. He is an electrician after all and we know how they can be 😉

Hello Pete and the River Kings. Would you create a Prijon Yukon Expé breeding farm? In any case, they reproduce well! 😉😂
LOL!

@@philoulabroche2808 send a photo to riverkingpete@gmail.com...I can tell from that.

@@RiverKingsKayak we are discussing extending the trip out past the merge of the two forks this September. Thank you for the reply!

Dragon slayer back on the river!
For sure!!! Love it!
Just a question tossed out here... how will weighting in at close to your kayak weight affect the handling of kayak. Weight limit is 275. I am 260..
You should be fine. They all feel a little sluggish when heavily loaded, but they still go...
After over a year off water and bilateral knee surgery. I did Patton Run and nantahala fall upright.. the kayak community disappointed me when my wife swam and not a single throw rope was thrown .. but we both off the river safety
Only a ducky but feels great to be back on water
Hey, Red Flame here, aka Lynn. What was the water level when y'all made this run?
Good question, let me check American Whitewater...2.25' on Saturday, 2.65' on Sunday.
New to the group, and I am interested in purchasing some River Kings merch. Someone, please instruct me what to do to do so. Thank you.
