This was a great video, watched the whole thing. Better than most of the fluffery on You Tube. Enjoyed the gear rundown, especially your EDCs. Props from Deep East Texas.
I've slept in a tent on sand bars and got eaten up by ants. I learned to bring a net hammock to sleep off the ground, with much better luck, just bring skeeter spray. No tent, lots of skeeters.
What a great adventure! Why did you decide to start in Palestine? Was it just one night camping? Wondering if you'd be able to do this from DFW or if the river is navigable that far up.
Yes it was! We are all from that area, and it was two nights and three days sun up to sun down. DFW down will be the next big trip, it is navigable but not by much from my understanding. We may have to wait for the river to rise or run long tails
I would love to do a guided trip to the coast. We just don't have the resources to do a trip that big yet. As of right now we could do small scale guided fishing/ bow fishing and duck hunting trips though.
Cause back in the 60's I was racing dirt bikes all over the piney woods around Palestine. Floated neches river, a lot then. If that doesn't turn the light on Then I will tell you Fifty yrs ago I was young enuf to do it. I always wanted to run brazos from Possum kingdom To lake Whitney. Lots of them floats would have been fun. Did alot as it was. I'm old now but I still remember Fighting snakes all night long on Chambers creek all night fishing many times. That's why.
I enjoy the heck out of watching ya. Didn't have camera like these phones have back then. Wow, if. We did it. Would have been great. Ya be safe and have fun!
I'm glad you enjoy the videos, sounds like you have some good stories, and caught a lot of fish, too bad they didn't have GoPros and such then, it would have been something to see
You guys need a bilge pump. I highly recommend them. My boat had a leak, and had i not have the rear one installed, we would have sunk our boat and get eaten by gators. and we carry life vest. W e took on over 10 gallons with the pump, and when we go in, it took us 5 mins to drain the water. The leak scared me so much, i had 3 bilge pumps installed and 3 batteries total. Overkill can save your life.
That's a good idea, crossing the bay would have been much less stressful haha! We broke every single brace in my boat crossing trinity bay. Good thing you had a pump, that could have been a very bad day! Good luck out there!
like you guys i carry a lot of survival preps. My Buddy Roser wants us to do a long drive and camp out for a few days, but i am concerned about destroying my boat, and its fiberglass.
Yeah wish I took videos, Livingston dam was easy went to browders marina on the edge of the dam and got a ride to the spillway ramp in the river trip was just over 550 mile and took a little over 40 gallons of fuel

Thanks a lot! Glad yall enjoy the videos, the next big trip will be from Dallas down to where we started

GOD BLESS 'MERICA & GOD BLESS TEXAS
You guys are brave as hell.
Haha we're crazy for sure, thanks for watching!
Awww love “DAWG” he wants screen time too! ❤🐶❤
Thats my pitbull Keechi, I named him after the I grew up fishing. He loves a boat ride!
Jesus H Koverist. You guys have balls. I have been on the river twice with my bass boat much less that far. sheesh.
It was a heck of a trip, thanks for watching. And good luck on the river!
I'm so happy yall did this epic adventure!!!
you are doing a good thing here, by sharing
Thanks and same here I've been planning for that trip for a while, the next trip is Dallas to Palestine, glad y'all enjoy watching!
saw where those lock and damns were part of the idea to make a dallas to houston river way back in the 1800's into the early 1900's
I didn't know that about the dam, that's interesting. There's a lot of history around the trinity river!
Great vid, appreciate your kit rundown too
Thanks glad you enjoyed it! The next big trip will be where the river begins in Dallas to where we started

Ive got a friend, that has been trying to talk me into hammocks as well. I think I may try it
I sure do enjoy watching your shenanigans 😉

Keep those boats handy. They will be replacing vehicles in Texas soon.

Awesome trip.
Thank again, glad you found my channel!
this is bad ass
Thank you sir, next trip will be from Dallas to where we started
At what point in the trip did you start seeing gators regularly?
I'd say south of Livingston, that's when we stopped counting
March, the river is infested with gators, all over even close to the launch sites.
Could y'all do a guided trip for three guys?
I would love to do a guided trip to the coast. We just don't have the resources to do a trip that big yet. As of right now we could do small scale guided fishing/ bow fishing and duck hunting trips though.
We need to go gar fishing soon Paul
I hear that, give me a holler sometime!
From the river to the sea, was it free?!
Yeah it sounded better summer
That would have been fun 50 yrs ago
Why 50 years ago
Cause back in the 60's I was racing dirt bikes all over the piney woods around Palestine.
Floated neches river, a lot then.
If that doesn't turn the light on
Then I will tell you
Fifty yrs ago I was young enuf to do it.
I always wanted to run brazos from
Possum kingdom
To lake Whitney.

Did you motor get ripped off the transom from hitting a hill or rock?
like you guys i carry a lot of survival preps. My Buddy Roser wants us to do a long drive and camp out for a few days, but i am concerned about destroying my boat, and its fiberglass.
No first aid kit?
Yes it was! Thanks for watching! We had a large first aid kit in the boat. We probably should have had a small kit in our packs to
@@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780 I enjoyed it. I would have liked more detail. Y'all got other trips planed.
disappointed, not much video for such a journey. Not much on getting thru lock and dam or around livingston dam??
Yeah wish I took videos, Livingston dam was easy went to browders marina on the edge of the dam and got a ride to the spillway ramp in the river trip was just over 550 mile and took a little over 40 gallons of fuel
Lock n dam was tough, my buddy nearly lost his boat, we emptied mine and carried over the dam
might as well!
Next trip is Dallas down!
Should have taken boat out of water had it welded broken transom is dangerous
Yeah I took it to a tig shop after the trip, crossing the bay snapped every single brace in the boat!
River to the Sea, I thought this was a Joe Biden campaign video supporting Hamas. Guess I was wrong....
Yeah...sounded better last summer
This was a super cool trip
Thanks it sure was, the next big trip will be Dallas to where we started hopefully in the fall
@@rabbitridgeoutdoors3780 im super stoked for you to film that I really really enjoyed this.
@@turboFPSthanks again, I'm glad you enjoyed it, there's plenty more coming up
