Lake Mead Filming Update & Massive Kern River Floods!!! 

Thanks for tuning in fam! Its great to be back... ill be giving out merch from the Sin City Outdoors website but be careful with scammers in the comments.

Congratulations on getting through with the Park Service, you guys are truly a great example of making it happen...

God bless you guys. It's awesome that ya'll are documenting all these crazy weather patterns from the ground.

You don’t have to be on a lake for us to watch you! You can just hang out in your garage and talk to us! We love seeing you and your family time where ever you are! Much love and respect!

Missed you guys. I am a 63 year old guy who really enjoys watching your videos. What gets me about you guys is how respectful and family oriented you are. I watch with my 35 year old son and think family time is so important. I really got hooked on your channel when you started posting about the drought and Hoover dam. Thanks so much for bringing a part of your life into ours here in Naples, Florida. By the way, my name Mr. Buongustaio means Mr. Foodie in Italian. Haha. Thanks again and may God bless you all. ❤

We actually feel like you guys are family and friends! We all get so excited when we see a new post! I don't even fish or hunt lol! You all just have a gift and we all enjoy every video. Thanks for all the hard work filming and editing it's all appreciated!

Missed you guys! I’m not a fisherman or hunter, but became a fan thru your Lake Mead content. You have a true gift of showing the beauty of our western USA along with presenting teachable moments about water issues and the environment in general. Glad you are finding a way through the bureaucracy around filming again at Mead.

Good to see you guys back! Glad things are moving in the right direction, keep up the good work. Love your content!

I love the respect that you and your family have for each other and for nature and for other human beings

You guys are a great representation of family unity. Senior,you done good, fine young men your raising. We love the knowledge you share with us. Great content.

Just as long as you guys know, it’s unconstitutional for them to charge for prime that it’s in public and it’s our constitutional right able to film out in the public doesn’t matter if it’s state land or federal land. If they call it a public recreational area it’s out in public.

I love this family. You can tell that they really care, not just for views. If more father's were involved with there son's like this guy, we could reduce underage crime and stop losing are youth to the bad influences that are everywhere. These young men are being raised right you can tell just how they act on camera. It's refreshing to see this kind of content out there.

I'm originally from Orange Calif. I still remember what it was like from the late 60's through the 70's. You guys bring back so many memories. My father was always the guy that could catch the fish no matter fresh or salt. We would camp at the places that you guys show on your videos. The Colorado between Blythe and Yuma was his favorite. Those were the best days of my life as a kid being exposed to that life. You guys do an amazing job.. Most will never know how the ball really rolls. God bless and keep y'all safe..👍🏻👍🏻🐟👍🏻🐟👍🏻🐟👍🏻🐟👍🏻🐟

This is great news, guys! The rain is fantastic news for you and for the American West. I can't wait to see you back out on Lake Meade soon, and I hope you sell a ton of merch. No one deserves it more than you. Thanks for everything you do!

So good to see y'all back at it! Quickly became one of my favorite channels after stumbling on to the channel a year or so ago. The father son dynamic is incredible. Keep it going!

You guys get my vote for best videos on RU-vid! You guys are humble and aren’t scripted, I truly enjoy watching you guys bond, have fun and teach us of what’s going on at our lakes. I’m not a fisherman but have learned so much from just watching you guys and need to get out there for myself 👌🏽👏🏽🇺🇸

So glad you guys are back. This permit system is nuts. I can see it applying to movie people that interfere with normal everyday activities, but the average youtuber doesn't get in anyone's way.❤

You all are awesome! I love the respectful relationship you have with your Dad, and I love the Lake Mead updates. Keep it coming!

Good to see you guys getting closer to your goals and thanks for bringing us along on your journeys. Watching you from Wichita KS!

I used to live in the Mohave dessert, I wish you could do a update on the old Mohave river. It's been years since that had water running through it. Much love guys ❤️ and everyone ❤️💖

The only document you need to film is housed in the National Archives Museum and is called the Constitution/Bill of Rights...! You don't need permission to exercise the rights God gave you...

I'm glad to see you guys filming and posting again. I think it's crazy that you have to have a permit to film and post Lake Mead. I think you're providing a public service with your videos. Keep them coming.

We have missed you guys. My mom who is 83 started watching and said. Boy that young man is pretty smart about things for his age. She’s an avid fisherman from the Straits in Sea Q. Washington State. Good luck and glad to see you back 🙏

Y’all rock. I’ve been watching you guys for years and too see how your dad is with you all makes me be a better father daily keep up the great work

So glad to hear you're getting the permitting figured out. You guys have done a lot to encourage people to get out in the wild. Always look forward to your videos!

You guys are our go-to for the water info before we even plan our trips!!! We love your father/son bond and your style of fishing! Thank you for all you do

From the Netherlands 🇳🇱 I want to thank you guys for these great fishing and lake updates. I came across this channel a couple of years ago, and since then, the whole family, including the kids, love to watch your videos. Keep up the good work!

I am so proud of you and your entrepreneurial spirit and success. I especially love the cool and close relationship showcased between you and your father. I lost my dad to cancer many years ago, but often think about our times together fishing and playing golf. Now I have 2 sons of my own to spend time with. Thank you for the wonderful and quality content you post on your channel.

You guys are a great example to all the father/son combos out there. Always look forward to your vids.

Stoked to see you guys getting closer to getting the permit for filming on Lake Mead!! Hopefully it all works out and you guys can get back out there and show us how much has changed. Awesome that you’re doing so well with the merch!! Do you guys pack and ship all of the orders yourselves???

Wishing you guys the best of luck in getting permits for Lake Mead! Thank you for working so hard for us brotha! Always have and always will love the content and watching the growth of your channel! Keep pushing hard persistence is key! 💪🏽

No matter how long it takes you to post the next video, we will be right here waiting for you! We appreciate you, thanks for always being positive 😊

Missed you guys! You said without lake Mead you don't think you'd have anything to post that we'd want to watch, I'm sure I speak for a lot of people when I say we'd gladly watch whatever you decide to post although the break was more than well deserved. Hope you and the family are all doing well and we'll be here waiting to watch whenever and whatever you post.

So good to see y'all back! It's been a drought on RU-vid without y'all. I've been praying for your family and friends-especially those along the Kern River.I hope they're all okay and that their homes are okay.Thanks for being persistent I'm coming back to all your fans! We love our sin city men and women. 🤗🥰💜

Being on the Eastern part of the country, it’s nice to see the updates from out west. Thanks and I look forward to a fun spring and summer!

Greetings to you from myself and the Grand State of Texas ! The content you share in your filming and documentaries is the best for educational purposes, and that also allows viewers like myself feel the sincerity in how dedicated Sin City Outdoors is to it's channel and it's entire Family, friends and thousands of viewers that watch the videos filmed. Hats off to the entire Sun City Outdoors Team on an excellent job . Best Always, Alexander Martinez Aka: SSplinter...

Appreciate you all for what you do. You're actually providing a service to those who can't go where you do. I have property at Isabella area and had no idea the water level was that low. Thanks!

I’ve missed you guys a lot. Your family, content and information you provide is awesome. I have No connection to the lakes, but I am so interested in what you report. The fishing and family, helping people is my attraction. Y’all’s channel is inspiring. Life is depressing these days. Y’all bring back memories of what families used to be. Thank you. ❤

Water is life. So glad you guys are finally getting the lakes and streams running and filling again! Let's hope it's not just this year. Great channel!

The before and after you did with the blue house on the river was seamless and showed the difference dramatically- well done!

Was wondering about you and your dad over the last couple days....nice to see you guys back!

I missed you guys! I'm hoping your back on soon. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love your fishing show. GODSPEED 😂🎉

So glad y'all are back online. Been missing y'all. Having grown up out West, it is a pleasure to see some familiar countryside since we now live on the east coast of NC

Great to see you guys back. Good luck getting the permits straightened out so you can get back to Lake Meade and show us what is going on. This retired guy loves your videos, water AND hunting ! ....God Bless !

New subscriber/viewer from Oildale (Bakersfield), CA here. I'm enjoying the local news and content. Thanks for keeping us all in the loop!

It’s great to hear your voices again. I enjoy your family content. You cover the stuff that makes America great…family, fishing, hunting, nature, truly living the dream. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with us. ❤

I totally like and wait always for your new interesting vlogs weather its fishing hunting or just info about the ecosystem and how well the family helps as much as you all do, God bless SCO!!

Great Video Guys. I'm born and raised in Vegas. I've lived here for 60 years. This video popped up on my feed today. I enjoyed it. Bravo.

Really hope you guys get back on lake Mead, it's because of the lake that I found you guys. Also great to see a strong family doing things they love together, like I do RC trucks together with my son

Thankful you guys aren't giving up and plowing ahead! We just went thru Hurricane Ian and got destroyed and the storm surge was unbelievable. You just never realize how much water can make or break a situation, from flooding to drought and everything in between until you live it. Happy California is getting much needed water, it's just too bad it's been too much at one time. Thank you guys for what you do and for keeping on keeping on!

Yay.... good for you guys getting back to lake mead. That will make things easier for you... Miss watching your content...

Y'all are very intriguing! Enjoy your show! I remember attending the Opening of London Bridge in Late Havasu and water sking at Lake Mead in the 70s. Thanks for the inspiration of good!

So glad to see you folks back, it's always fun seeing what adventure you're up to. Hope the permit system for Lake Meade area works out to your benefit.It'll be interesting to see how that water has come up and what it does for fishing thanks for the entertainment.

Forget the lake. Why is the girl crying so hard?? Nature lover to the bone. 👊🙏❤️🦅🇺🇸

Glad to see you. I hope life is better and better. RU-vid been crazy. But. Im glad to see you making vidoes. Good luck. God bless.

Appreciate all the videos, updates and just sharing your world. 👊🏻

Great video. Many thanks for documenting the water levels . You guys catch some great fish hey, good stuff.

I kind of think it's bull crap having to get a permit to film videos on lake mead! Government will do anything to get money. They would charge you for the air you breath if they could figure out how.

I have been missing your updates on Mead and Powell, and sorry to hear that politics has ruptured your service to the U.S.

Sending respect from Texas! Awesome channel guys! The footage from Nautical Inn brings back fond memories when I lived in SoCal hitting that lake since the 80’s. Also my teenage daughter smiles when she sees the boys on your videos. I tell her all the time that I approve 👍🏼 Good men.

great to see your back. Hopefully lake mead will allow you to show how much the lake has risen soon. I have a feeling it will be 3/4 full by july. Keep up the good fight.

You need to do a video on the State Water Project...it will make for some good content...tons of info there and you can fish from the Upper Sacramento watershed all the way down to the San Francisco Bay.

I was wondering what happened to you boy's! Y'all were missed let me tell you because I enjoy your video's and I loved this one!

I love your RU-vid video's! Love your fishing advice!!!

Always good to see your outstanding content, saludos for you your father and all your family. Hopefully I get selected as a winner. ❤

Crap, you guys are so confusing I am surprised at the subs, you start talking about lake mead and went off script

So good to hear you guys will be getting back out there with the videos, and looks like some nice small mouths caught at Havasu , with that one Red eyed smallmouth lookin like it had been doing some partying too.

Dude u look like u could be justin Beibers brother .. U. Look like him . thats a gd thing . 😊 id love to see the things uv seen. God bless u . im subbed ❤

Glad your picking it up again. Keep the reels rolling!!! 🎣 📷

Missed you guys. Can't wait to hear about Lake Mead

I APPRECIATE YOU GETTING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. ❤ MUCH LOVE

I love Sin City Outdoors updates😊

We took our 3 kids in a monthlong vacation out west and one of our favorite memories was Lake Havasu. It was 39 in Flagstaff and 109 at the London Bridge. Crazy.

Love the hats in gods plad definitely looks good in camo

I just want to say DAM good video...lol

RU-vid is blocking videos.

I have missed you guys. ❤ Hello from Indiana ..... Btw you guys are "sinfully " cute ....😂😂😂😂 from a grandmother .... Stay safe...

Something about the 1st Amendment... The very idea of the need for permits to film is offensive.

GREAT to see you back! A while back, in the news, they reported that some "youtubers" were caught in the flood near the area where you live, and my heart sank because I thought it was you! I said a wee prayer, and I'm Glad to see you here! Great video, and am glad you all had a nice vacation!

Really enjoy your channel, Thank you!

Thanks for everything you guys do! Your content is awesome!

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to ask but why they don't want filming the lake?

love the content keep it coming!!!

I normally don't watch this type of content, but as a California resident, it was really cool to see your side by side footage of before and after all these winter storms. You seem very informed and professional talking about your filming and fishing experiences. Definitely coming back to watch some more!!

My daughter and I enjoy your videos. I like your videos because I also was with the 101st. I was with the 326 Eng batt. Nice to see a brother in arms out doin stuff with there family. Keep up the great content.

New fan!! Great vids!

I'm definitely one of those praying for relief in the West. I watched you exploring Lake Mead until they didn't allow videos. I had faith that the Good Lord would bring the rains. I hate it about the flooding, but I'm so thankful to hear good news about Lake Mead. God is good.

Been watching since the start of sin city, and man it makes me happy to see how far you've guys come. Love and support the channel, y'all keep up the amazing work!

The permit rules in the National Park System is ridiculous. The permitting was NEVER intended to be for small production companies or people filming for small project. The permit process was created for LARGE MOTION PICTURE PRODUCTIONS where large crews, multi-vehicles and excessive production activity which very often caused an impact on the environment in shooting locations, but it was never intended to be applied to YOUR TYPE OF FILMING. But, as is ALWAYS THE CASE, the government found a way to suck more cash from American citizens, so they started charging fees for even the most simple filming of they could in the most abstract way call it COMMERCIAL PRODUCTIONS. I was photographing my son and his fiancée prior to their wedding. We were at "Bowl of Fire" and my wife and I were taking photos of my son and his fiancée sitting on a rock, when a NPS Ranger showed up and asked if we had a permit. He was hateful in his attitude. He acted as though he had caught us breaking windows out of cars instead of just sitting on a rock taking family photos. He said he did not believe we were just taking family photos, he believed we were shooting a commercial photoshoot. He said my camera was a professional camera and he did not believe what I was telling him. I had to show my ID and my son showed is ID, fortunately, we both have similar names. Had we not had similar names, I am absolutely certain we would have been thrown out of the park. He asked if I was a professional photographer. I, wanting to be honest so I told him "YES! But I am not shooting professionally today, I am just taking family photos." He seemed angered by my response and after viewing our IDs, he appeared to be RESENTFUL at the fact he could not prove we were doing a commercial photoshoot. I don't understand this kind of attitude. Because I was using a professional camera? What if I was a Doctor and just bought expensive cameras, would I not be allowed to take photos, because Rangers feel my camera is too professional to be used by an amateur? I had that same conversation with the City of Las Vegas when taking photos at the "Welcome to Las Vegas!" sign. I have been a professional photographer for 50 years, 47 of those years in Las Vegas. dizeman.com I remember when the permit process was enforced PROPERLY and was used ONLY as it was originally intended, on LARGE FILM PRODUCTIONS, so I resent very much the NPS hassling small productions, wedding photographers, people using photos and videos for their Social Media platforms. It is simply another way to suck dollars from the average guy's wallet. YOUR TAPING A CONTINUING DOCUMENTARY ON LAKE MEAD CONDITIONS AND FISHING DOES NOT HARM THE PARK IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER AND DOES NOT COST THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM A DIME, but they abuse the privilege of serving us by robbing our wallets any way they can. We pay TAXES to fund the NPS, we pay ENTRY FEES to fund the individual parks, unless we are doing some harm to the LAND, AIR OR WATER by filming, there should not be any fees to just take photos or video. My son was out in the middle of BLM land when he was 23, 16 years ago. He and some friends were taking photos of their motorcycles and a Ranger stopped them, asked if they had a permit and threatened to arrest them if they took any further photos. I was standing in Whisky Pete's parking lot in Primm, taking photos of 2 Donkeys eating hay in the middle of a dry lake. I was using a 600mm f4 Nikon lens, which gives some an idea of how far away I was. Nevada Highway Patrol came up and told me to stop photographing the Donkeys, they were on BLM Land and I needed a permit. I asked if he was joking, I was standing on private property photographing Donkeys on a dry lake bed hundreds of feet away. He got very angry and threatened to arrest me if I took "ONE MORE PHOTO!" HE WAS DEAD SERIOUS! THIS IS INSANE FOLKS! MORE GOVERNMENT OVERREACH. My quarter's worth... dizeman.com

I remember commenting on one of your Mead videos re the ENSO forecast put out by NOAA. That the level of Mead was going to increase a ton due to the end of the La Nina condition and the beginning of an El Nino condition. Well, it happened and will probably continue through next year. Its all about the surface water temps in the ocean. Southern waters are warming up and northern waters are finally getting cold. It just creates one storm after another.

I’ve been watching you guys for about five years now and your videos are awesome. The gear you share is amazing and the education that you bring with each video about the places that you visit is awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing and helping who you help along the way you’re very much appreciated here fish on!

So glad to see you guys are doing so well. I'm sure with all the water we have here your channel will totally thrive!! God bless and always stay safe!!!

You Guys Rock man! Love your content, Miss Arizona and Nevada lots, Havasu is such a great time. Lived in Bullhead city for over 20 years but find myself in Virginia now, Keep up the Great Work.

I've never commented before- but this Mexican supports you in Cali, #LA/#OC,..... you guys should train women or girls who want to learn- hell let's go fly fishing!!!! #down

So excited that we finally got some rain!! Looking forward to this summer’s amazing fishing vids!! (With full lakes again!!) 👍💜

So happy for our state of California💦 My Family's home since 1847!

That permit in order to film thing would really irk me. I'd want to find as many people as I could to join forces with to fight it off myself. I can understand if its a smaller, less known and more local oriented place, but when its a massive and well known national park system area? No excuse, in my opinion. That said, I knew you guys weren't gone/didn't quit, and as soon as that change took place, I knew you'd likely have a very limited amount of videos coming out until you could sort it out. That said, I'm definitely not a "party" person, so I've never understood the Havasu thing haha. I look forward to seeing you guys back into the swing of things though! All the best!

At the 5:15 time point: Those two IN PARK trailers that were surviving in the middle of the flood used to belong to my wife's parents and uncle. This was a little over 15 years ago. They had enough foresight to build a "flood wall" (anchored deep in the ground) in back of them, as they knew the Kern River was prone to floods. The area you're looking at is Kernville.

Wow God bless

Love the content! Been staying tuned. Glad you’re going back to Mead! Cheers
