Don't kid yourself fella, the old boys were well aware of the solstices and had an understanding of nature way more advanced than we do. Don't buy the grade school history of ancient man being a less intelligent caveman type of subhuman. They would have never survived (much less thrived as they in fact did) in places we as modern man would need rescued from within a weeks time if left without our supplies and gadgets. Try picking up a rock or bone and knapping a bifacial blade from a hunk of flint sometime if you want to really appreciate their abilities. then try to hunt and survive with such tools.

Thanks for sharing the fishing trip and the beautiful scenery of the Pecos River. Obviously the rocky bottom dragging of the sit on top kayaks are the only boats for doing the Pecos. Do you mind to discuss the types and specs of your boats? How did you carry your gear and food? Which boats did the best, the one you liked the best? The price of the boats? Its a lot to ask I know; but, Im interested and thought to give it a try. I live in central Texas and would be interested in doing the rivers of Texas. I am sorely ignorant of the type boat best to use on the small rivers. Thank you.

Reminds me, where I work all security officers have to be EMR certified. I've taken plenty of cactus spines out of hands and legs, using pliers. In our case, it is golfers retrieving their errant balls and not paying attention to the desert terrain, which by the way is cover for all other things either stingy or poisonous. One aspect of the job is capturing and releasing rattlers, that's actually kind of fun.

Watching you pull that dog cactus out of your ankle brought back terrible memories. lol Glad you enjoyed the Pecos. I got trapped on it as an Explorer scout about 40 years ago and have never been so scared in my life. That river can come up 20 feet in the blink of an eye. Really enjoyed your videos!

Lol No way they knew anything about a summer and winter solstice. You think yourself educated when you only recall the knowledge the ancients discovered. Maybe you meant the just didn't know the words winter and summer solstice; ) they clearly understood the concepts

Great video! Would you ever consider going back to a nice paddling paddle kayak such as a Wilderness Systems Thresher or Ocean Kayak Trident for places where shallow water isn't an issue or are you sold on the Hobie system? Just curious. .

You never take out jumping cholla (AKA dog Cholla) with your fingers. you scrape it off with a knife. Those things are alive and will crawl up the back of your leg to your back. lol

Hey Robert, How well did your ATAK do on the river? Looking to do some river fishing in addition to small lakes. Would you recommend a 14 foot yak or something smaller? Thanks

Get it y'all have to eat, but man seeing y'all take fish from such a pristine place was a bit aggravating. Wish it could've been throats hooked fish or something
