Survival comes down to air conditioning and cold water creeks. Skinny dipping in a clear cold water creek to escape the heat. #Outdoor #Kitchen, on my floating deck. #BBQ #sandwich again...

Summer has hit tennessee with a heatwave, days and days and nights, and nights of above ninety degree weather. The humidity is bringing out bugs. The generator has become essential, powering the air conditioner, making it tolerable for me and the pets to stay in the boat during the peak heat of the day.

Daily storms have added to the humidity. Only bringing the temperature down for 1 or two hours. Spending the mornings drinking coffee and sitting on a floating deck has become one of my favorite things to do.


The video starts with a summary of my view on life. A brief glimpse into my thought process of how I am here and why I live this way..
We slowly move into coffee spending time with my pets on our floating porch, taking in the nature that surrounds us. Breath taking views in every direction.
As the heat of the day comes upon us, I set up the generator and air conditioner as well as a battery to run a bunch of fans. Myself and my dog river head to the Creek, we have started skinny dipping on a regular basis, to survivethe heat. Pretty much around noon. You can find me in a creek with no pants...
Getting back to the boat just in time to make food right before our afternoon storm hits. back out for our sunset cruise every day. Watching that sun go down.

No music this episode only sounds of nature.

River cricket and myself greatly appreciate you guys following along on this week's journey.


This video captures a unique lifestyle on the river, emphasizing a philosophy of living guided by one's inner child (0:01-0:48). The creator shares observations of nature, including the antics of yellow birds that entertain his dog, Cricket (0:54-1:41).

A significant portion of the video focuses on coping with a heatwave by seeking refuge in a cold, clear creek for a refreshing swim (3:56-6:50). The creator also demonstrates his outdoor cooking setup, preparing a "burnt rib tips" sandwich on his floating deck to avoid heating up his indoor living space (10:00-11:21). The video concludes with the creator enjoying a natural "hanging basket" created by a storm and appreciating the relief of a windy evening (13:44-14:14).
