Ocoee River rafting is dependent upon raft guides and that requires training at most outposts. The trainees are graduating into rookies and taking the river by storm! Some of the best Ocoee River rafting footage. The Middle Ocoee now resembles a parking lot or traffic jam at times. The Upper Ocoee action is also picking up but few if any upper river trainees have checked out as yet. However the R2 action is filling the void. This video also features some great saves and close calls. Please comment below, like, and share this video! TIP YOUR GUIDE; guides in the southeastern region are the lowest paid in the industry. We depend on tips for basic survival and food.

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.
