ABOUT ME
I primarily travel solo but you don't have to to enjoy this channel. Working as a river guide during summers in North America I don't earn a lot of money and live close to the federal poverty level. In spite of this I live a rich life on a frugal budget.

"The river gods were not appeased!!!" - LOL
-
I just went rafting at the Kern River and now I can't stop watching these videos 🤣
-
5:00 "Don't Forget to Tip Your Guide, We Work For Gratuities"... You should ask for the tip before the trip begins...just tell them it will impact the lines you take. LOL
-
Really great, thrilling experience, please take care 👍
-
I could watch these all day 😂 the commentary is the best! I did this run about 6 years ago w/o a hitch but we had a fantastic guide. If I had seen these videos beforehand I may not have done it haha
-
Killer footage, killer commentary Fast Fred.... we'll be down there soon!
-
Hey Fred. I watch your videos religiously and love your commentary. Just subscribed which i haven't done in a long time. been dealing with chronic pain for a few yrs now and its been tough especially without a diagnosis. But, maynnn, your commenting along with the carnage have really made me genuinely laugh & smile in a long time. love whitewater rafting, only have done it 3 times (all in the smokies), but am looking forward to coming there and rafting with you. Much Love from Florida! Keep doing what you're doing

I had my PDF on the middle ocoee in a kayak during paddle school the other weekend. My biggest water yet but lots of fun I saw you a few times out there.

Your videos have put the ocoee on next year's trip list for sure.

VERY GOOD

That warmer water makes all the difference . Come do that in colorado 😂
-
We did the upper and middle this year. I am addicted. Next time I want to watch from the rocks near Godzilla and Humongous. Just curious as to why they call the next section roach motel?
-
That was good , didn't see our raft but still real entertaining. Anything from 6/10/2017?
-
What happens to all those paddles that end up in the water?
-
Also, how many paddles are left in that river? Are they collected downstream?
