This is a masterpiece Pete! The story telling is so intriguing and I loved learning about the rivers history and how it intertwined with your family history.

As a senior instructor on both River and sea kayaking I'm from Ireland and looking forward to going on your course down the deep river. Also learning alot of skills from you Pete !!!👌🏻

Looking forward to this one Pete. Your cinematographic skills look to be going off the scale! Very cool that you can relate this river so far back in your family‘s history.

another nice scenic trip and video Pete! and thanks for showing another one of the nice rivers our state has to offer!

Bro, I would give this a thousand 'thumbs up 👍' if I could! This is going to be epic, I can already tell! I have often wondered what the entirety of the Deep River looked like and cant wait to watch this trip! Thank you for making this video and trip.

Man, smh... I'm suffering from some serious kayakers envy! Just beautiful scenery, breathtaking! And your narration is phenomenal Pete! I can tell it's a lot of work but obviously worth it all at the end of the day.

There really is something to say about that curiosity of whats around that next bend. i know that feeling well!

Found this series this morning. Awesome job Pete!

we have planted several Pawpaws trees 5 years ago. we had 2 fruits this year. next year we expect to have alot.

This is awesome man, please make more!

Looking forward As always. I want more More Moooore

Hey Pete, just checking in. Getting ready to watch the next one!

My boy the ice cream king dirt dobber is there. Looks like a blast.

Right on Mr River Kings what a Kayak Adventure !! I just love these kind of videos that you produce !! thank you for sharing this with us !! World class Adventure !!! 👍👍❤😎

I’ve seen quite a bit of the Deep from Randleman down to Moncure. I’m sure you had a blast. It’s a shame you didn’t include much time to fish in this episode. Looking forward to the the rest. Hope to see some wet lines in the future.

Looking forward to seeing your take on the new 450

The nice set of rapids just above Naomi Street bridge in Randleman used to be a dam. The dam was named Naomi dam. That's where the infamous story of Naomi wise happen.

Ahhhh! Long boat camping, #LBM

I so wish I could have made the trip, challenge and conquer. Nice to see the cinematography and narration return!

Love these type of adventures! Could watch it all day

"Let's see how bony it is!" Rams rock. "Oh that's a good start!" Pete, man have been watching my "How NOT to Kayak" video, again??? LOL!

Can't wait to follow this journey! Looks great so far!

Perfect timing, ready for an adventure!

I’ve had a hankering to watch a kayak camping adventure for awhile now. Great vid, lovin’ it!

Epic!!!!!!! ♥️

The beginning of another great adventure. Looking forward to the next fase. I have an ancestor that fought in the Revolution, too. He fought along side of General George Washington at Valley Forge. He survived the war and settled in Virginia. His name was Joseph Carr.

Great video as always. Your links to history and your story telling it getting better all the time. 15k right around the corner.

Itd be cool to see a vid on how and what you pack into your boat. If u already have i apologize.

I have been looking forward to this video.

Looks like an epic adventure! ... Funny, Dirt Dobber was my old CB handle back in the seventies.

Nice to meet you. Perhaps our sixth great grandparents knew each other. Mine was a signatory to the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of These United States, and the Bill of Rights; the only man to sign all three documents. He was also the last signers of the Declaration to die. He built the Erie Canal and the B&O Railroad. I guess you could say he was pretty instrumental in the success of the early years of our nation. His name was Charles Carroll of Carrollton. He got kind of sideways of Andrew Jackson because of his opposition to the American Indian Relocation Act, and the Trail of Tears. Jackson once said that he'd shoot him dead if he weren't so close to dying on his own. Charles Carroll had also criticised Jackson for the massacre of British troops retreating under a white flag of surrender a day after the end of the War of 1812. Jackson claimed that he didn't know, but several people, including the message runner who brought the news to him, said he new very well, and that a thirst for blood and a desire to make himself look like a war hero spurred him to commit one of the worst war crimes in American history (though it has never been recognized as such). I really don't know why the heck he's on our $20 dollar bill. When you learn a little more about him, he's not exactly a shining star. Anyway, it's wonderful to find someone whose family has memories of roots as far back as mine, and who kayaks as well!

when is the next one out Pete? i was at Highfalls yesterday. been a couple of years since I have been there. The way I used to access the river there is locked up tighter than San Quentin. i had to go down the road to the Methodist church and access it from a path at the end of their graveyard.

Epic intro! Love the monologues! Pete, what length and type of rig do you recommend for a haul like this?

just on the deep today

How about part 2 great video

Not long into the video. Oh my, I hope you didn’t get poison ivy! There as so much of it on the bank right under the pawpaw tree. I was itching just watching you grab the pawpaws. I am enjoying the vid! I am hoping to do a little bit of kayak touring in the spring. So wish I could find a Prijon Yukon. Been on the search and just can’t seem to find one.

👋😎👍

Pete your story telling has captured my imagination and urgency to get out there and enjoy the many rivers out there 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💦💦💦

Bit of underbelly damage ther Pete. Time to do some scouting lol😅😅

Have you tried the lumber river

What type of shoes are you wearing while kayak camping?
