  I have enjoyed all 3 of these episodes. I live in the High Falls/Bennett area and I have done part of the Deep River above the Howards Mill Bridge area. These videos would have been more enjoyable if you had shown the map more and had labeled all of the road and railroad bridges as points of location.

  I put the maps in where it seemed to fit the story line, with the purpose of just showing general locations and progress on the river. Thanks for watching!

  What rental company did you use for the kayaks?

• 
  @SideTrailAdventures15 күн бұрын

  We both own these kayaks so no rental company to deal with. I paddled a Native Ultimate FX15 and my brother had a Native Ultimate 12. If we were going to do this trip again, I think both of us would choose sea kayaks. Thanks for watching!

  There are some good class 2+ above and below Caldwell but nothing approaching class 3. Things noticeably pick up after Ft. Spring but again, definitely in the class 2 category.

  You put in at Durbin, but where did you get out? I understand that the Greenbrier River gets very dangerous down towards Hinton where it flows into the New River.

• 
  @SideTrailAdventuresАй бұрын

  We took out just below Brooks Falls on the New River. Dangerous depends on experience, skill level, and proper gear. I ended up swimming at Brooks Falls but did just fine. Here’s the video for the second part of the trip if you’re interested. Thanks for watching! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKWBr7icg9exgbA.html

  Strider used the Big Agnes footprint for the tent. I believe it was a Copper Spur UL2? He got it because that was the footprint designed for the tent. I don't think he had any complaints. Thanks for watching!

  Is there a river guide from Durbin wv to marlinton wv? Or are there any maps of the upper, middle, lower sections of the river? Trying to plan a float trip and can't seem to find much info?

• 
  @SideTrailAdventures3 ай бұрын

  There’s not much that I could find either so we made our own maps. My preferred app is Gaia but there are a ton of good ones out there to make it happen. Water level is the crux of this trip. It’s often low and un-runnable making planning tricky. 2 feet at the Buckeye gauge is about the lowest I would recommend. It was about that when we ran it. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

  I’ve been hiking for about 60 years {I’m turning 80 next month} on various trails. In April, I plan on thru-hiking the MST and it seems to be quite a different exposure, compared to all the trails I’ve ever rambled. Question? Is it reasonable to think I could hammock the entire trail - Or should I stick to a tent system? I thru-hiked the AT in 1998 under a tarp from GA to NJ, before hiding from the bloodsuckers in a tent. AT98VIKING

• 
  @SideTrailAdventures5 ай бұрын

  Right on! The MST is an amazing and diverse trail but I think a tent is the safest option if you’re looking for ONE shelter to get you all the way through. Hammock would be my choice in the mountains to make stealth camping easier but Down East and at the beach, a tent is the way to go. If you’re interested in learning more about the story of the MST, be sure to check out the documentary we did “I Am the MST” (kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqWN19xmdsfcnJM.htmlsi=4Qc0YVGVAbLFfdsz) Thanks for watching and happy trails!

  I heard in 2024-2025 there will be a DCF swap you could do for the top pitch, swap,out the poly soil for a DCF double wall tent, and buying the insides (net and solid) and outside ( polysil and DCF ) So you can mix and match for your hikes.

  I’m thinking of doing the same trip. I also have the same boat. If you had to do it over again would you use the native or your touring kayak?

• 
  @SideTrailAdventures6 ай бұрын

  Knowing what I know now almost 4 years later...I would definitely take a touring kayak for this trip. While I can't pack it like a pickup truck, the long, slim boats are built for this kind of long flater water trip. The Native Ultimates are great boats too and it's obviously possible to paddle long distances. As long as you're ok with shorter daily mileage and working a little harder for those miles, it's 100% doable. There's a trade off with either choice...just a matter of what's more important for you.
