- Howdy! fellow adventurers. We got enough feedback from Ep:14 on the main channel to pull that one down. All the time we've spent over the years with Scooter Tramp Scotty--and later on with our own adventures--exploring (and often staying in and on) abandoned properties has made me and the beagle a little too loosy-goosey with land rights. That property didn't have any signs up, but it didn't have to either. From here on, we'll stick to churches and landscapes. I wanted to make sure some of the footage from that stretch of the river was captured and shared for future finders of the channel (hence the redundant footage for those that saw Ep:14). As a last resort, we can always blame the beagle;) Thanks for putting up with us. That's more than a saying here on BWBRs, it's a way of life. ;)
--Brenton and Wavey
I've been following your adventures (and binging on previous ones) ever since I saw you pass through lock 19. Merry Christmas Brenton & Wavey!
Hi Steve ;) We're at the top of the Tenn-Tom. Lots more to come, including being high and dry on the beach between 19 and 20. Coming up...;)
I have zero locking experience but watching another looper channel I learned that those floating pins sometimes get stuck causing your boat to hang from your lines. They recommend using a quick release knot or keeping a knife on hand….
Thanks again for sharing!!!
You got it! We're doing that now
Haters going to hate. It's what social media and the internet is for. Enjoying the videos and you do you. We like it. Don't read the negative comments. LOL! Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you. Maybe one day, the wife and I will make the trip.
Thank you for that very much needed right now encouragement. No one is harder on me than myself. The plight of a self aware human;)
@@brentonsriversidehermitage That's the sign of a true person who cares...being harder on yourself than probably anyone else. Too many people really don't care about others and are very inconsiderate. The world would be a better place if we were more considerate of others (but not to the detriment of our own health and happiness). I have heard (and often repeated) that most people on the internet would never say the things they say in person because it might mean getting punched in the mouth. But the keyboard warriors love to try to make others feel less...even though the vast majority of people would never even contemplate the journey you are on. You are putting yourself at risk on your journey and exploring so many things most will never see and that makes people feel inferior deep down because they know they are not courageous enough to do it. And you are showing your trip, including the follies and missteps, for all to see and critique. Keep on going and enjoy yourself. Life is supposed to be fun and full of struggles, failures (learning experiences), and victories. And thanks again for bringing us along. By the way, I am in Navarre, FL (between Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach) and you will be passing within a mile or so of my house when you go by. If you want to message me, I can maybe meet you and pass you some treats for the pup or help you get some supplies if you need them. Or, I may be out fishing and see you drive by and give you a wave. LOL! --Brent
Great! More Basement Tapes! (a la Bob Dylan)!
That's right! And we're headed your way. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right....you know the rest ;)
Aerial video leaving the lock looked cool
That was the love stream foe that lock. We got a drone! Given to us my a drone company. Stay tuned ;)
Really enjoying the trip and all the posts! Safe travels and hoping you find warm weather soon! Merry Christmas to you and Wavey!
Thanks Jim. It's warming up here in Florida. Really nice day. Crossing east toward Carrabelle
Looking forward to your explorations of Keokuk with Wavey. I'm interested to see how much has changed since the mid 1990;s. All the best!
Any day you post is a good day
Thanks Dave. Had to pull Ep:14 down on BWBRs but I wanted to still have this section of the river chronicled
Hello from the quiet frosty Ozarks Brenton! Another video of value! Welcome to Missouri and Merry Christmas! Hope your well and enjoying your day! Tight lines and bent poles!
Phillipp! Merry Christmas to you buddy;) The Ozarks are always the place to be
The solar panels are a nice touch. Or you can just pack some long extension cords...
And tap into the lock generators;) lol
That view of the wall moving on the inside reminds me of one of those rooms where the walls start closing in to crush whoever fell into the trap.
Me too! You can see it. It's unnerving;) like the trash compactor on the death star in the original Star Wars
Merry Christmas to you both on your journey! Stay safe!
Merry Christmas to you too buddy. Thanks for finding us and putting up with us!
Hi Brenton and Wavey 😊
Hi Greg!! --Brenton and Wavey;)
4:40. I watched that boat working for a while before you passed through. They were doing some kind of research. They had a line stretched across that they were using to make some type of measurements. They took it down for you to pass through. It went back up right after.
I saw that too ;) nice little skiff
Thanks, and nice shirt.
Thanks! Merry Christmas;)
Merry Christmas to you also. And continued safe journey. @@brentonsriversidehermitage
@de6360 right back at you brother
What kind of boat is the Beagle Barge built on? You have sparked an interest. What boat type would you recommend for building or rebuilding a shanty?Thanks for any advice. Please keep the videos coming.
Hi JD, nutshell: 30x8.6 welded aluminum work barge built in lousiana in the 80s. Seems to be a hard size to find. Probably custom built. The easiest path to shanty is a bigger pontoon with deep toons and/or tri toon. Gonna need the lift for a cabin build. I've got loads of back catalog with much of this discussed here and there, including build series for the barge and the original shanty boat beagle adventure set up which was a 26 foot catamaran cruiser trailerable houseboat. You can email me if you want. Sometimes it tale a bit to get back to folks right now (never been this in demand) but I do...every one of them ;) thanks for putting up with us. I mean it.
likes tour videos so now i am watching them from the start, what size are your solar panels are. this was such a great trip
Hi Frank. We have 2 390 watt panels
Like watching a rerun. Still liked it.
Sorry about that. Had to pull down Ep:14. Figure I should at least have footage of this area somewhere.
Why did 14 have to be pulled
@terryrazoric9934 the abandoned explorations part.
Love these lost footage videos.
When I first saw live footage on a preview before the video, I thought you got your drone and was filming it 😆 I can't wait until you start using it.
Merry CHRISTmas to you and Wavey the beagle 🐶
👍♥️✌️🙏🇺🇸🚣♂️🛵
We just got a drone given to us by a company sponsorship. Stay tuned! ;)
@backwatersandbackroads
Yes, I saw you were asking for a shipping address earlier so that's why I thought you had it when I saw footage of tower cam
I saw you wave 😊
Hi Greg! ;)
ISO flat barge similar to yours. Want to put my 8'x18.5' NASH Trailer on it. Pontoons are not sturdy enough. Flatbottom boats neither. Prefer steel or thick aluminum. Naturally, Australia has many super cool DIY modular barge suppliers. Not USA.
There seems to be some in lousiana. They build and use a lot of aluminum work boats there.
What's going on dude. Enjoying your stories. Thanks.
Howdy. We're on the Tenn-Tom now.
@@brentonsriversidehermitage - Happy Holidays buddy. Hope you and Wavey have an enjoyable holiday on the Tenn-Tom. Merry Christmas!
@theconsultant8732 thank you sir! Merry Christmas to you. We're headed to Florida at 5 mph ;)
Where are you located now?
We're on the Tenn-Tom. Working on caching up videos. It ain't easy if you want to do a good job on them ;) what's rhe point doing them if they aren't worth watching?! Lol
Déjà vu. Still interesting
Had to pull Ep:14 down. Didn't want to waste this footage completely.
Hey buddy check your registration sticker
I have 2025 tags, just waiting to put them on since they can fall off on long trips ;) thanks for looking out for us ;) we need it.
Did you intentionally take down your last video on BW&BRs? I think I know why you did. Shame because it was a really great one. Cheers Brenton.
I did. Was getting some constructive feedback and they were right. We can be humbled and challenged here, it's the only way to grow. No harm done. Thanks for putting up with us ;) on to the next one...
@@brentonsriversidehermitage Absolutely! I hope you're having a great journey. Merry Christmas!
