  • Our 2017 kayak trip down the Buffalo River. Launched at Ponca, Arkansas and ended at Dillards Ferry, about 94 miles. Was my first river trip in my Old Town Loon 126. Challenging but enjoyable trip.

    I have many Alps products, they are amazing for the price point. my chaos 2 has had a decade of yearly trips down the buffalo as well as backpacking through Yellowstone and Glacier NP. still strong still water proof

      Edgewood Outdoors Thanks. It is an amazing spot. I'm itching to get out this year. Have a short trip on the Kansas River planned for this weekend, as long as the weather holds. We will be back on the Buffalo in a couple months. Thanks for watching. Take care!

    Really enjoyed your video! I left Ponca early Tuesday the 9th and had a great time although the water had receded somewhat. You took on quite a challenge for your first river run!!!

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 7 lety

      +Jeffloats! I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! I was amazed at how quickly that river can come up and then recede back down. It was an unforgettable adventure for sure. Take care!

    I saw your link on the Outdoor CZcams Creators group. That is a beautiful landscape to be paddling through, I imagine there were some extra water falls given the rain. Glad you brought a tent that was up for the job, and that you all were able to move your camp before the flood! Glad I found you here, you have a new subscriber in Utah :)

      It is a very beautiful area. It was a wild adventure. I have just recently decided I am going back to try it again this year. I really want to do the whole 125 miles. Hope to get some more and better video this time. Stay tuned to the channel, I have plans to do some trip planning videos as it gets closer. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I appreciate it.

  • @thewonderingelectrician

    looks like an awesome river. would love to paddle it. To bad it was cut short but you can't always paddle thru everything. Great job for your first moving water. That old town will take care if you for sure.

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 7 lety

      +the wonderingelectrician It definitely is a cool river. All of the challenges made for a very memorable adventure. Thanks for watching, take care!

    • @OutdoorWanderer1

    Great video! Thank you for posting this! We are kayaking on the buffalo river this coming weekend and I was curious what it was like! Good to have a little idea beforehand. :)

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 7 lety

      +amerrylife Thank you. The river condition is very weather dependent. I would say keep a close eye on the forecast and the Buffalo Outdoor Center website has a good section on the water levels, updated daily. In smooth conditions it is a beautiful sight. I hope you get to enjoy it!! Thanks for watching :)

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 7 lety

      It was a cool adventure. I did hear about the conditions the week after we were there. Also heard of the one fatality. It sounded pretty crazy. Thanks for watching, take care!!

      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 7 lety

      +Roy Mandell Thank you, I appreciate you watching! Good luck and hope you have a great time. Hopefully the spring storms are done when you hit the water. They are getting hammered again this weekend. Multiple rescue efforts going on.

    • @roymandrell8517
      @roymandrell8517 Před 7 lety

      Oh wow!..I be keeping an eye on the weather before set a date in stone....thanks for sharing that information.

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 7 lety

      +Roy Mandell You might what to follow the "Buffalo National River" Facebook page. That is where I saw the info about the river condition and rescues going on.

    • @roymandrell8517
      @roymandrell8517 Před 7 lety

      I will do that ...thanks!

    Great vid! Planning a Buffalo River tri in the spring. Always need more tunes, really liked that Johnathan Burton? Couldn't find anything on him. Could you point a fellow paddler in the right direction?

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 5 lety

      Glad to hear you are planning a trip. It is definitely worth it to experience it first hand. Jonathan is The Bearded Burton channel on CZcams. He has several of his songs on his channel. We were at a meet up when he gave me a CD with some of his songs. I'm not sure if he has them to sell or not. Thanks for watching and the kind comment. Hope you have a blast on your trip!

    Whats the secret to sleeping on those rocks? Enjoyed the video

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 4 lety

      Really just making sure there aren't any big ones sticking up and then sleeping on an inflatable pad, and you dont even notice them. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

  • @TomandJulieMineExploring

    Glad you were able to ride the storm out. I came over from The Last Grownup's channel and am trying to support small outdoor type channels. I watched and 'liked your video and subscribed to your channel and would love to have you on board as a subscriber at my channel for some hiking and music. Thanks, Tom

    • @OutdoorWanderer1
      @OutdoorWanderer1  Před 6 lety

      Tom Wigren Thanks a bunch for stopping by, checking out the channel, and subscribing! I subbed your channel as well. I always enjoy other outdoor channels. I think it is great that the outdoor channels are supporting each other, with CZcams kicking us to the curb, so to speak 😀 Take care!
