Kayaking and Camping a Wild River in Rain | Upper Manistee River MI
Ойын-сауық
My dog Atlas and I (Brett) go kayaking and hammock camping in the heavy rain down Michigan's Manistee river with my buddies Adam and Casey. Hang out with us while we kayak and canoe through the tight turns, shallow waters and fallen tree obstacles of the upper portion of the Manistee river, build a tarp hammock shelter and cook burgers over a campfire in the wild. Sometimes plans change which is unfortunate but thats life and we'll be back to conquer the river when the weather is better for being on the water.

I went down the Manistee on a three day canoe trip in 1967 while in camp. What a great trip!
🤘 Love it 🤘

Thanks Rick! I’ll have to do a redo in the future
Good decision cutting it short. The cold is too cold sometimes especially on the river. Loved the Vouyagers (bad spelling) addition on this one. Glad that group is there. Keep em coming! Thank you,

It’s definitely a different kind of cold on the water. Thank you and will do!
Beautiful scenery and fall colors. I'll have to do that paddle someday! Too bad you had to bail due to the weather... Looking forward to the next!

Yea will definitely be back when I can enjoy the river a little more 👍
You had a great start! You’ll just have to pickup where you left the River.

Exactly!
Such a bummer that things turned so wet. That first day was magical, although it was quite an obstacle course for all of you. Beautifully filmed and edited. Fall is wonderful, isn't it? (Until it rains).

Thank you and yea Michigan weather is always unpredictable but can make for an interesting adventure!
My favorite
Too bad about the weather. Fall in Northern Michigan sure can be fickle. Hope you can get it next year. I did the Manistee starting at Manistee River Camp to Lake Michigan two years ago with some friends and it was amazing!

Always look forward to the Brett Afleck comment hahah thanks man 🤙
Michigan has so many great opportunities and locations for adventure but no matter how much we want it to go as planned, we have to remember that our plans are subjected to Michigan's fickle nature.... which is a great excuse to go explore the Manistee at some point in the future.

Exactly, can’t wait to go back and actually enjoy with somewhat better weather
Amazing! Where did you find your campsite? Are there any resources you recommend for finding potential campsites in advance to track out your trip? Interested in taking a similar trip this summer.
Recently subscribed and I gotta say I have been loving your videos. I was wondering if you had any videos on the gear you use and how you pack it all?
How do you bail 1/2 way? Someone pick you up? I would figure you have a vehicle at the start and end…
Goose Creek ! My favorite
what is that chest pack you have?
How do you find places to camp? I’m planning something like this in the summer and there are zero campgrounds on the route. And I don’t think I’m allowed to camp on private property nor comfortable
Where did you put in? Deward?

Yes Deward 👍
Where does the next adventure take you?

Im wearing a chest pack holding small gear and my pfd is behind my back. The river is less than 2 ft deep in this section so no need to wear it here
Man that sux

Seriously? You didn't just give up on that trip, you gave up on the video...easily could've done something else and edited it in to this one. I wouldn't have just posted this... You're from Michigan bud, you know you always have to be prepared
