Buckshort

In 2009, two friends and I canoed 16.5miles from Warrior down to Buckshort Bridge, but the only photo of the bridge I had to show for it was a kind-of shoddy one taken with a disposable waterproof camera. So when we went paddling there again on Saturday, I was determined to take a photo in which I could have more pride. So armed with my trusty Panasonic LX3, this was my best effort.

Test Run of the Kayak-Cam at Buckshort Bridge

Last week I posted about Operation Kayak-Cam, in which I fashioned a mount for my Flip UltraHD Video Camera and Underwater Case to my kayak.

Yesterday, we were finally able to go to the river for a test run. With fishing gear in tow, three friends and I headed down to the Locust Fork at Buckshort Bridge in Mount Olive. We had no success fishing, and so began to find other valuable uses for the kayaks. So while none of this video may be life-changing, perhaps it will serve to show the success of my modification and evidence how to go about jumping from a kayak.
