- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- That perfect river is out there...somewhere. Kevin, Austin, Alan and I head out for a kayak camping overnighter. Looking at river options, there was not a lot to choose from due to the lack of rain and low water levels. We settled on a perfect little stretch of river and were amazed at what we found. Come along for a 2 day journey on Carolinas best kept secret!!

Everyone was asking where this river was. I think the point was, it can be any river!
Good point, but he did mention near the 32-minute mark they were on the Deep River.
@@johnb8369 Not the Deep. This is the Pee Dee as far as I can tell. From NC into SC. The zig-zag rapid near the beginning of the video is the remains of a huge native American fish trap.
@@ev_blue it's the Great Pee Dee. Put in just above sc line and below the dam.
@@ev_blue yep the Pee Dee. Jeff and I have caught some nice fish near that trestle.
@@ev_blue i know it doesnt pertain to this river but if you watch the videos of the new river trip where he put in at in radford there is a native american fish v in the river right down from where he put in
Awesome trip. Excellent camera work and editing. Thank-you for sharing!
Thanks Tim!
Fantastic video, great footage and narration. I enjoy all your videos but especially the kayak camping adventures. Your videos tell a story of each trip in a way that we all feel we share a part of your adventures. Thanks Pete, roll on the next one….
Thanks Simon!
So far, by far this is my favorite video of all. The music, the scenery, the cinematography, the voice speak is absolutely your best. Thanks for the trip.
Thanks a ton Billy Bob!!
That gave me goosebumps Pete. What a journey, great filming and a great message. We can all find that perfect river....it just needs a few friends, some kayaks and an overnight camp!
Thanks a ton Sand Man!!
Great job, Pete! Nice footage from all. And, a peaceful watch. Thanks for another enjoyable work! -AVA Ashley
Thanks Ashley!!! We need to hit a river together again soon!
@@RiverKingsKayak Sounds great! - AVA Ashley
Great story Pete! Really caught the sounds, feeling, and peace that can be found on a river. Quality of video was amazing! Sent that one to my mom!!!!❤
Thanks Thomas!
A RK kayak camping video was just what I needed. Awesome job. Dude them fish were HUGE!
Thanks Josh!!
Great trip and great video!! Always love seeing the long boats!!!
Thanks Dan!
Between this video title and the wandering electrician title and a pretty uncommon bridges span along with the double ramp the river is easy to locate. I have done several rivers in SC and from NC to SC and the Savanah but never this one. Great video as always. Adding this one to the bucket list.
Thanks David!
Another great one Pete. Have not watched much for 3 months as I've had a shoulder and bicep injury, so not being able to kayak myself, I've avoided all things paddle related. Hope to get to a pool session this month to see how I do! Cant wait!
Welcome back Daniel!!! I know you are ready for some water time!!
I love your videos! You inspired me to go kayaking and I want to say thank you
Thats what Im talking about!
Good video. You have me stumped this time. I know that river is somewhere!!!
Thanks Shane!
Absolutely awe inspiring. Brought a tear of joy to my eye.
Hell yes, Gentlemen.
L.I.V.I.N.G.
Thanks Jaekress!
As soon as I saw the inside of that store, it confirmed my suspicions about where y'all were. Great video
Right on JSH! I left a couple Easter eggs in there for you guys! Thanks!
My Boys a poet !
Thanks Nick!
A fantastic video. I think i can speak for everyone when i say Great work and miss the other River Kings as well.
Thank you Duncan! We have something planned...got to get the OG's back in the saddle!
@@RiverKingsKayak sounds fantastic 👍
Awesome ride. Still haven't found somewhere to go yet but the lake but that's better than nothing right now. Lol getting ready for fishing on the kayake!! Hehehe!!! Maybe I can train a fish to pull me around
LOL! Thanks Chuck!
I miss kayak camping and multi-day kayak trips! Used to do it in Hong Kong before I moved to NC. Cool setup with your actions cam high up behind the cockpit - I used to just have it on my chest harness or few times precariously handheld my camera! 😅
Oh man! Camping in Hong Kong!! Awesome!
I love your videos. Plan on doing some kayak camping for the first time this summer on the james river. I'd love to see you make your way out to the james one day
Thanks Seth! We have looked at doing that one. Maybe soon!
@River Kings I know you'd love it! Twin river outfitters has great sites from what I've seen and there's tons of islands. You get to see the great state of va how it's meant to be seen. Not the small northern neck most people associate va with. Just be careful of dams!
Great video Pete! Maybe maybe one of your best yet!
Thanks Chris!
Late getting a look at this one, but what a beauty!
Thanks Jerry!
Just a WAG, but thinking Roanoke River in the eastern part of NC.
he he! Good guess...but not the Roanoke!
I left the most perfect comment about friends and family and how there’s nothing better , and. Left it
Somewhere!
LOL! I love it!
I'm here to watch just because this title caught my eye.
LOL...thanks brother!
Got the life .having like minded friends and not to mention badass looking kayaks
Thanks flushot!
Great video
Thanks Mike!
Another great video. These are my favorite videos of yours. This is a great title for this video. As you know another River out there can be found in everyone’s backyard! Something of note I love the drone footage however if you’re using a draone in your videos you need a 107 pilot license from the FFA because your videos are monetize. Failing to do so could give the pilot up to a $600,000 fine. I thought you should know.
Thanks IA!!
Awesome videography! I would love to paddle down that river. Just the right amount of excitement, and peace to calm the soul.
I am super curious. Do you know what type of fish were getting excited?
This is a fresh, shallow water river, so my guess is GAR.
I think they were cats and carp...there are def Gar in there as well, so not totally sure...
Very cool. Pretty cool to see so many of them all at one time!
Smallmouth Buffalo. This is the only river in NC that has them as far as I know.
My husband is an avid kayaker. He would enjoy kayaking with you!
Right on Jaime! Where do you guys live?
@@RiverKingsKayak we live in Lancaster SC. Our closest trip we do is in Rock Hill down Catawba River to Landsford Canal. If you haven’t, it’s a trip to take for sure to see the spider Lilly’s! My husband goes all over though but that’s the farthest I’ve done.
Absolutely love the music this week!!! Do you have a published playlist on Spotify? I believe this is Bon Iver correct?
Thanks Cody! I dont have a playlist but that sounds like fun!! Most of what I use is from epidemic sound.
I'll be there!
Good to have you along Billy!
Now you have to do a video kayaking in Alaska
I like this idea!
Man, makes me want to go.
Right on David!!
@@RiverKingsKayak we are getting ready to purchase our first yaks in the next couple of months. Looking for good river fishing sit on tops. No white water in Florida.
Pro tip for this video : watch it on a screen as big as possible!
Thanks Adulf!
question for you guys - avid kayak camper here and live in the triangle so I've watched all your videos now. Do you get permission before setting up camp? I've been on rivers that have signs to contact land owners but that's rare. Do you just take your chances? I've heard horror stories of people being approached by landowners at gun point because they just set up camp on the rivers edge during a multi-day trip... As a female that generally only travels with other females, it concerns me.
It is a mix of camping below the high water mark, designated camp sites, back country camping in National Forests, reserved camps in parks and obtaining permission from land-owners prior to the trip. I try not to ever camp where I will likely have contact with any other people.
mman-outstanding upload.talk you later-🙌
Thanks Prohodaction!
What brand and size kayaks are these guys using?
These are Prijon Yukon Expeditions at 14.5' long
Bring on the Kings..
Right on Darin!
You keep referring to the Deep River, is this that river? You seem to make that trip around the same time each year, as your video library shows 🤔😏
This is definitely not the Deep. And yes, Sept is the best time of year to be on the water. We try to make a long trip each year in Sept. This year, it will be delayed, but got out for a quick overnighter...
@@RiverKingsKayak yeah I retract my statement after actually looking through those videos 😅 so it's really going to remain a secret huh? Guess I'll have to figure out one for my own paddling adventures 🤔😊
@@jasonjohnson3164 Cape Fear, PeeDee, some coastal river for sure.
Some people mentioned Pee Dee. Definitely not the deep as that one is too narrow for this. Also not cape fear. I did cape fear Fayetteville to Wilmington in college. No rapids once you get closer to the coast but I’d call it class I when you have tides and gators to worry about.
What kayaks are y’all running?
In this video (and all my river touring trips) I am using a Prijon Yukon Expedition.
@@RiverKingsKayak thank you and beautiful kayaks.
So we aren’t going to know the River?? Come on
There are a few Easter eggs and great clues in there...
It not just a good river, it a GREAT river.
👋😎👍
Awesome drone footage. Which one is Austin using? 🛶🏕
Thanks WRKC! Mini 3
