  • In this video I meet up with Dome Life at the Caddo river in Arkansas and I kayak camp for the very first time! Cody and I fish and catch endless fish such as smallmouth bass, brim, stripped bass, and I catch a crappie! We have a hoot of a time swimming and playing in the water and by the end I am sun burned.

    You are all such good people. That's the biggest value of your videos for me, apart from joining in with the adventures. It's important for others to see the world has good people in it, which is comforting and consoling in our strange times. Thank you!

    Going on an adventure in the wild is the greatest thing! You set an expectation make a plan, that's about the best you can do. Sometimes it gets rocky, those times will be the prelude that will make the most memories for you. These are places you cannot see from the car. It can be hard work, but that's what got you there. It will be worth a belly laugh later, some mistakes, determination and all of the things that make a great adventure. I'm loving your videos!

    I’ve canoed that river many times. Can get tricky in a canoe. River is so clear. There’s some pretty big fish in there. Seen one at least 3 feet long swim under our canoe. Lots of gar & baby turtles too. Thank you for picking up other people’s trash & helping to keep that river & wildlife alive & clean.

It was so fun to go on the river with you three. Funny..I actually shifted in my seat once when you were digging in to get over some rocks. I've been in my kayak twice this season. I need to get on a river very soon! Thanks for the push.
    It was funny how you filmed those snakes, one was eating something I think, Wow! Creepy! Dont care for snakes and spiders.
    Well, keep enjoying life and making these vlogs. Cheers!

    What kind of snake was that on the rock? Was it a water moccasin? As you paddled close to the banks and under the trees, I recalled a canoe trip on the New River in western NC about 20 years ago. Paddling under trees, my friend and I were afraid a snake would fall into our canoe from a tree branch. Instead, a big fish jumped into our canoe, just about causing me a heart attack! Glad you all had a good time.
