Thank you, Mark! Growth certainly is fun and I have to thank you all for sharing the videos and getting the word out there. It's been a fun ride so far and just the beginning!
My wife and I love to go kayaking, hiking and camping but this will be the first time that we'll do it all in one trip. Kayaking to our camping spot and hiking! Videos like this are invaluable. 👌
Played with a borrowed kayak this past week on the Guadalupe and loved it. Decided to look into kayak camping and just found your channel yesterday. Love it. Thanks for the videos.
Got my new Blue Ridge hammock and tarp in that I ordered thru your links. They didn't make it in before my kayak camping trip with the Turtle Head Boys down the Cape Fear River last weekend. I set them up in the yard this afternoon and I'm very impressed with the comfort of the hammock. Can't wait to take them on a trip. Thanks for sharing the recommendation.
Hey Anthony that is awesome to hear! Bummer they didn’t make it in time, I’d imagine shipping is messed up for the time being. The length and fabric material, along with price, have me stoked about this hammock.
If you haven’t gotten an over quilt I highly recommend the hammock gear Econ burrow. Half the price of the nicer top quilts. But still down and amazing
If your still looking for a top quilt. Look at -Underground quilts. Their bandit and bandit XL lines are amazing!!!!! I have one and it is the best quilt I’ve ever owned. Look into them! All hand made and American made!!
Hey Kyle thanks for the recommendation! I have a good friend that uses their quilts and he raves about them. Their marketing guy also seems world class on podcasts I’ve listened to so I’ll have to check them out!
Nice vid Gatewood, showed the gear just enough to make us want more, and not too much to fall asleep. Luv that cooler, I use a Yeti hopper, but recently purchased a couple smaller softsided ones, but I might have to get me one of those. The rain keeps missing u, I'm keeping tabs of river gauges, when it hits I'll be there
Hey Matt! Great to hear from you, I hope y'all are staying safe out there. I'm glad you didn't fall asleep! This was definitely my most casual edit to day. They're a lot easier to edit so I'll do more in the future to keep videos consistent. Think that'll be well received? The Wyld Gear is great quality so you won't be disappointed! I used a hopper for a long time and enjoyed it too. Ugh, the rain has been missing the Frio/Medina/Pecos/Devils but keeps crushing the Llano which I suppose is good. Fingers crossed it comes before summer so you can get down here!
@@GatewoodBrown I like the simple gear talk videos, straight forward and to the point. If u guys would get some rain, where I could make aloop down there I could bring down a pungo 120 for your brother for a really good deal. I have 2 of them and my wife switched to a 105 and we only need one for her sister . so let me know if that interests u.
Im looking for a pair of dry bags for the missus and I, but im actually going to wait for your 26l backpack to become available. Keep up the great work Gatewood, we all appreciate it!
Hey, great video I've added a few things because of it. Thanks. have you ever considered trying the Sawyer "squeeze"or "mini" instead of the life straw? They seem a lot more versatile. You can do a lot more with them like refilling your bottle with clean water instead of needing the straw every time you drink. It also boasts greater filtration rates than the life straw. (They aren't paying me)
Thanks my man! The squeeze will be the next water filter I buy. Along with some life water bottles haha. I’ve been trying to implement more backpacking pack tips to lighten my load and make the kayak more navigable. I’m glad to see it’s worked well for you!
Brand new to kayaking... usually camping off my motorcycle but I had to comment that your content is great and the channel is gonna get huge if you keep it up! 🤙🏻
So lucky to find your channel! I’ve started car camping , Nd I wanted to try kayak camping, and other videos show very expensive gear, and for someone like me that is in a tight budget, your suggestions are great. Thank you for your videos, I just subscribed to your channel and looking forward to view more
Just found your page, I've been on a hunt to find a good kayaking channel and you're it. Do you mind to show how you place all of this on your yak? I know some people haul differently, just curious to know if you have a go to way.
That’s awesome I’m glad you found my channel! I can definitely do a video on it. At a high level, I usually pack stuff in a categorized manner so that I don’t have to open dry bags unless necessary. So all my camera stuff and things I’ll access on the river go in one dry bag. My camping supplies and clothes will go in another dry bag and usually it won’t be opened until we’ve reached camp. I hope that helps! Check out my dry bags video for more insight on sizing and specific items I pack in them.
I’m definitely going to check out the soft cooler. I use a ice pack mule. But I’m definitely going to check that out. The leash paddle looks pretty awesome too. I’d love to see a review on the Yeti backpack. I’ve never seen that before. Your going to love hammock camping. Best sleep you’ll ever get in the woods. Cool video Gatewood and I’m so ready to get my kayak out.
The soft cooler has treated me well so far. I tell ya what, that leash has been a life saver. It’s super durable and makes it so you don’t have to bend down and drag your kayak. I’m looking forward to my First night out in the hammock! Can’t wait to join the ranks among you all. Thanks for tuning in!
Just got into Kayaking... i was under the impression to do a lot of water similar to what you guys are hitting, i was going to need a thousand dollar boat. but you guys seem to be do good with the rec Kayaks like that dolphin.. Looks like you guys have a blast!
Welcome to the sport James! You can find an amazing boat under $1k. I don’t recommend sun Dolphin but check out my video on the old town vapor. It may be exactly what you’re looking for
you commented about saving half for basically the same thing on the camping chair. Well, the Yeti bag is $300 for a 60-liter bag. For 1/3 of that, you could get a 70-liter MIER Waterproof Dry Duffel Bag Airtight TPU Dry Bag on Amazon. Fit and finish on the Yeti looks to me to be better. And if I were to bet on longevity I would bet on the Yeti but, I wouldn't guess it would last 3 times as long. Just my thoughts for the more budget conscience.
You’re spot on and I agree with literally everything you said. I checked out the mier duffel for $100 and it looks like a great product. The yeti will take all the awards when it comes to the performance but half the battle is pricing. That’s generally why I never recommend it in my videos unless you’ve got extra cash laying around. All of those premium dry bags I actually bought off craigslist. I have researched dry bags considerably and Airtight TPU (like on MIER bags) is the way to go. My fishpond thunderhead backpack is made of 1680D TPU and absolutely bombproof.
Thanks for the review on the sleep system....I've been looking for a budget system of my own and your recommendations look to be right on point price wise. Love the shirt by the way...I have a gray one. Great review, your list is always practical and there are a lot of items which are budget friendly, which is helpful.
Hey Anthony good to hear from you! Yeah the hammock system is great so far. I'll do a long term review but based on other videos the durability seems to be on point. River King's shirts are the best! I'll have to bug pete to sell more colors. I appreciate you watching and checking out my list. I've always loved these types of videos when other people do them. A mix of budget friendly and premium is the way to go. People make fun of me for spending more on dry bags than my kayaks...lol
Hey Gatewood...quick question: How many times have you used this hammock and are you still happy with it? Narrowing down my choices and getting ready to pull the trigger.
Anthony Barbour I’ve hung it up for extended afternoon hangs many times. No chances for an overnight just yet. I’ve heard from some folks that bought it and have slept in it and they really enjoyed the system. Go watch Spiguyvers review as well, he’s spent a ton of time camping in it with high praise.
Just got a sit on two seater and I’m hooked dude. I’m in Dallas so I’ve been hitting pinewoods spots that are creepy and swampy. I’m ready to head to the hill country and south Texas this summer though. Good content brotha!
Hey that’s awesome! Once you start kayaking it’s hard to stop. ETX doesn’t quite have the appeal that the hill country does but it always has water which is a huge plus. Have fun out there!
I was trying to find one of my friends an action camera, purchased an Osmo Action last year and it's wonderful. Crazy thing is, I purchased that thing in August brand new for $210. Now it's selling for $345. I guess the chip shortage got to action cameras as well
Just found your stuff, and it's awesome man! Dallas boy here! Keep it up, no doubt between the awesome subject matter and the video quality your channel will grow!
I appreciate the kind words my man! I’ve never paddled up in Dallas but surely there are some hidden gems. Growth is always the goal but fortunately this is a fun hobby for us so regardless of growth we will keep making videos. Just need this virus to go away
@@GatewoodBrown Yeah, I feel you there man, it has been wild. I hope you and your family // friends are staying safe! Luckily the weather has started to get to that Texas sweet spot, so it's a great time to be outside!
My biggest and ONLY complaint about your videos is I wish they were longer I can’t imagine the Time it takes to make these but I definitely wouldn’t be upset over a 45 min video. Also if you could do a video for someone trying to get into kayak camping and give tips for actually planning the trip what to look for and avoid and such as that. That would be fantastic
Tyler I appreciate the feedback! I’ve heard this same request from others so I definitely intend to execute on that. Longer and a complete guide to kayak camping
Can you do like an in depth food guide to a kayak camping trip, I’m going on the Frio river kayak camping trip and I was curious what kind of food is good to bring for dinner over a campfire and for snacking on that won’t get to hurt if it gets a little wet
Hey chandler I absolutely can. I’ll add it to the list of videos to make since you’re not the only one who has inquired about it. For an overnight we usually bring some good meats to grill at night and sandwiches for lunch. Breakfast is generally coffee and cliff bars or something simple like that. Pack snacks to keep energy levels up between meals and bring tons of water, or a water filter. On the Frio you’ll be able to safely filter water
Hammock camping looks great. Not something we can do on our trips in many places in Australia, our trees drop branches, and camping near trees is not on. So it’s tents for us.
I'd like to see an in depth review on the hammock system. Specifically the tarp. A friend bought the same hammock and it seems very well made, a great deal.
You got it, I’ll be putting together a full review after some field use. I was also thinking about doing a first look video for the system since a lot of people have been interested in the details. The price for what you get is amazing
I think im gonna get that hammock set. Thank you! Question: could you do a video about planning a trips? Especially multi day? Do you think you’ll be going on another kayak hiking trip? If so could you film your process of planning it to? I’d really like to get into pack rafting but there aren’t many up to date planning videos. I actually have so many questions but I’ll keep at that. Thanks!
Hey, Whitney! Can't go wrong with the Ridge Outdoor Gear Hammock/Tarp setup. For the money, there's nothing else that compares. I actually filmed a 'How to Plan' a trip last month but haven't edited it up yet. I'm trying to get that put together soon since paddling season is here. Packrafting is a whole nother animal but probably one of my favorite types of trip. Which packraft are you looking at? I'll also be doing some more Q&A videos in the future so be on the lookout in the community tab for that. Thanks for tuning in!
Gatewood I always look forward to your uploads. Would love to see a stand-alone review and tutorial on your new hammock setup. One question out of curiosity...why do you prefer a sit in over a sit on top kayak? Keep up the great work and be safe during these strange times!
Hey Jay! We are definitely in some strange times...hopefully we get to the other side of this thing soon. I have a first look video planned for the hammock system, as well as a comprehensive review after I have the chance to do some trips with it. My initial thoughts on a few afternoon hangs are very good so far. As for sit in, I like the balance of sit in while going through rapids. It's also easier to paddle in the wind since you are low profile. Sit on is prevalent for fisherman so that they can site cast and have ease of bringing fish on board. Another positive to sit in for kayak camping is its ability to hold gear at the bottom of the boat instead of on top. This once again improves stability.

Wow! Great info! Good review on the cooler! Just in time as my old walmart one got destroyed in storage, Definitely like the dry bags. Thanks again for sharing! Hope your doing well with all thats going on these days Rick from Virginia.
Thanks rick! The cooler is a welcome addition the list. The dry bags are expensive but for me and the gear I keep in them, it’s a must. Check your local used market on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for some good deals. In Houston I’ve found good options. We are healthy so far, I hope you guys are doing the same.
I would like to see more on that hammock. I looked at it on Amazon and there are 2. One is symmetrical and the other is asymmetrical. I like my Yukon Outfitters freedom hammock, but the larger asymmetrical is rather interesting. Also the tarp would be interesting. Great looking gear!
Hey thanks big foot! Yeah when I saw the pinnacles hammock I about lost it, the price and dimensions, along with the reviews were great. I’ve only had a few afternoon hangs but once I take it out camping I’ll put together a review. I’m confident it’ll be great though

Couple questions for ya. I’m in the market for a waterproof yeti bag, but can’t decide between the Panga 28 or 50. I am leaning towards the 28 because all I will have in it is my big camera (canon 77d), lenses, batteries, etc,. Do you think it is big enough? Where do you keep your big camera on trips or do you not bring it?
Great questions! If you don't plan on putting overnight supplies in the dry bags (think kayak camping) then I'd go 28. The backpack style is nice and more versatile for day to day use. The 50 I use explicitly for kayak camping and not anything else. For that it absolutely crushes. I did recently use the 28 on a casual trip to North Carolina and it worked great as carry on luggage. I use the Yeti Sidekick dry pouch for my camera. This allows for quick access on the river and it is surprisingly submersible. You'll pick it up for the first time and be like, no way this thing is water tight, yep it is!
Where did you get that Wyld gear cooler? I don’t see it on any websites (Amazon, wyld gear, even target)...that looks perfect! Haha I got to have it haha Always think it’s cool from TH-cam to see where everyone is from that watch videos. Seth from Naperville, Il. Great job with your channel. I’m getting prepared to introduce my 6 year old son and 7 year old daughter to kayak camping next spring. Your channel has been a big help so far.
Nice, it always interesting to see what people use and pack along. I think I paid too much for my chair, yeah it came from REI🙄 I couldn't help but notice that shirt! Pete will be happy. Thanks
I agree! Gear list videos have always peaked my interest to find ways to improve my own. They also make me realize how much useless stuff I bring that never gets used haha. REI brand is generally overpriced but they do have some great finds as well! Pete is the man, I’m happy to wear his shirts. And they’re comfy!
That's a great idea Josh. I was thinking about doing a compare and contrast between the plastic, fiberglass, and carbon paddle offerings. I just may do it now!
Good video. I am bout to have to sit down and go through my gear. Hammock camping would save so much space compared to my tent. How do you break mindset of the sense of security a tent gives?
Hey David! The gear check is fun especially after watching other gear list videos. 2020 will be the year I try to cut down on what all I bring. The hammock switch has saved so much room already. Once I dial in a top quilt it'll get even better. I've found that having a bug net makes all the difference for me. Kind of like a tent without a bug net doesn't feel that safe. Give the Ridge Outdoor Gear hammock a try. For $49 you can't go wrong given the built in bug net, 11' length and comfortable material.
I've drooled over those Yeti dry sacks for a while but just can't bring myself to pay Yeti prices. ;) For now my Eureka 115L Canoe Pack will have to do. ;)
The yeti's are awesome! I buy mine on the used market for usually around half off MSRP. I'll check out the Eureka and see what it is all about. Cheers Ryan!
@@GatewoodBrown Its basically a monstrous dry backpack for about $100 USD new. :) Though it may be too big to be useful for you. Yeti is def higher quality though.
@@GatewoodBrown Yeah, makes sense. The reason I go with a single big one is that up here Ontario most paddling trip involve several long portages so I find it super handy to just have a single bag I can pull off the boat and put on my back. :)
Hey buddy back again. Doing the llano on July 7th super stoked. Do you have a new link to the hammock? The old one is discontinued and would like to send some cheddar your way. Thanks again!
Hey teddy! I think you have to reach out to ROG to buy the hammock now. They have an updated one coming out in July! For the llano it’s not the best for hammock camping so we always bring tents. Which stretch are you doing?
@@GatewoodBrown I was talking to someone about Telegraph to Junction, but I think you went more toward Mason on your trip. Any pointers or where you like better for a two day overnight trip? Any help is appreciated and thanks for the google earth idea trying to map the path now.
Great gear vid. I’m using the Outdoor Vitals Loftek top quilt for all seasons. It is awesome for cold. Rated at -15 degree Celsius. Check out my February snow camping vid to see the conditions we took it into. Totally comfy and I like the quilt over the bag cuz it lets me regulate my temperature level just by being able to stick a leg out. Lol.
how do you feel about the inflatable kayaks( the advanced elements advanced frame inflatable kayak vs say a sun dolphin). I am from houston as well and am big on backpacking and have just now found kayak camping, cant wait to do first trip!
Welcome to the sport! You’ve chosen the right one I must say. Forget the inflatable kayak, all it takes is one misplaced roots or rock and you’ll be having a miserable trip. Look on the used market, we have so many options here in the Houston area. Sun dolphin is hard to recommend because you’ll grow out of it very quickly
It's funny you say that, I have it all mapped out and everything...just need the virus to flush out. We have big plans for the Spring/Summer/Fall season
You have some badass editing skills my friend. I dig. On another note, where ya'll get in the rivers at the bridges and where ya'll get out of the rivers, are ya'll vehicles just chillen on the side of the road the whole time? I'm trying to plan a Llano river trip but leaving vehicles on the side of the road overnight by a bridge seems sketchy.
I appreciate that my man! Yeah we just leave our vehicles on the side of the road. Not ideal but it is what it is. Often times you can schedule drop off and pick up with a local outfitter. That's a good route to go as well.
If you want a waterproof pack or bag , there’s only one you can get .. Watershed bags.. military and practically every white water or rafter uses them and there made in USA
I’ve heard great things about watershed. I much prefer the zipper enclosure so I’ll be sticking with those. I also just launched a dry backpack and it’s been my go to for many months now
Hey thanks Justin! Since the Hero 8 doesn’t have an interchangeable lens I put a polarizing filter on it. If the camera will be getting wet at all I’ll take it off. I also use a polarizer on the hero 7 sometimes. For skiing and high speed boating I’ll use ND filters for that awesome looking motion blur
anyone know of a more budget friendly soft cooler that has safe features as the Wyld Gear 20 he mentions in the video? (Im mostly interested in the compartment to keep my food from getting soaked. thanks
Thanks my man! Yeah I've been watching some ultra light hikers and seeing what they pack made me feel terrible haha. Definitely going to start cutting down on what I take. There is so much I don't use, but pack any way lol. Maybe that can be our resolution for this year
im going to be going kayaking out in the seawater and im curious what kind of kayak i should be getting im going to be doing alot of fishing please help sir.
Hey Scott thanks for reaching out! Are you wanting to get a pedal kayak or paddle? Lots of fisherman elect to do pedal drive systems like the old town sportsman 106 PDL. For a paddling kayak I’d check out viking kayaks or crescent kayaks
Scott therock great! I’d recommend the old town sportsman line of boats. They have the big water which is 13.5 feet long, and the sportsman 120 pdl which is 12 feet. Old town won awards for their pedal drive systems and they offer a great value. I’d start by looking at those!
You bet! As soon as I have some field use with the hammock and tarp I’ll be editing a review up. I’ve had a few afternoon hangs in it and it was truly a lay flat for me (6’2”). Can’t wait to camp with it

The Ascend H10 is my go to kayak camping boat right now. I absolutely love the thing and highly recommend it. Ease of gear loading is key and the H10 excels at that. Also, when you load your gear in it, the center of gravity is very low which allows for stability in turbulent water. For me, that is important. No more being top heavy. Have fun out there! Usually there are some on the used market as well.
@@GatewoodBrown thanks buddy. I enjoy your vids someime when u get a chance send me some good put in locations on the llano if you have time my buddy and i are planning on doing a 4 or 5 day paddle and camp this summer on it.
@@nateshattuck4429 Nice that sounds like a fun time. My biggest advice would be to map out sections of river in Google Earth and find a mileage that you all are comfortable with. Monitor flow rates and set out after consistent rainfall.
Bro is it worth paying the money for the panga 50L? I want one so bad but I can’t justify buying a duffle for that much! Lol you should definitely to an in depth review on it!
It totally is! The panga 50 is one of the few constant pieces that stays in my gear list from year to year. Check your Craigslist or Facebook marketplace for the yeti products. I’ve had good luck finding them there
We always take the kiolbassa brand. They’re local Texan sausages and taste exquisite. We buy them in HEB. Haven’t done the devils yet but I plan on that soon
@@GatewoodBrown I am a big watch guy. Love watches especially dive watches. Kept looking at your the entire video. Lol. Love your videos.love your personality, your narration, your story telling. You are such a fantastic TH-camr. Keep it up your FAN for life.
Out of curiosity, how is it bear bait above and beyond any other cooler? If we were in bear country I’d simply tie a rope to the handle and pull it up into a tree just like you’d do with a food sack
Yeti is a great brand, but if your a fishermen or hunter, DO NOT BUY YETI. Yeti is against fishing and hunting. We don't need to fund someone that got rich off outdoorsmen that doesnt actually support what we do.
Yeti makes a great product but like you said, they’re proud of it! Haha that’s one of the reasons I started Remote Designs dry bags. An offering that provides waterproof capabilities at a price that makes sense
So happy to see your channel growing and you becoming more recognized, you deserve it! Awesome video as usual!
Thank you, Mark! Growth certainly is fun and I have to thank you all for sharing the videos and getting the word out there. It's been a fun ride so far and just the beginning!

Hey Kyle thanks for the recommendation! I have a good friend that uses their quilts and he raves about them. Their marketing guy also seems world class on podcasts I’ve listened to so I’ll have to check them out!

Your going to love hammock camping. Best sleep you’ll ever get in the woods.
Cool video Gatewood and I’m so ready to get my kayak out.
The soft cooler has treated me well so far. I tell ya what, that leash has been a life saver. It’s super durable and makes it so you don’t have to bend down and drag your kayak. I’m looking forward to my First night out in the hammock! Can’t wait to join the ranks among you all. Thanks for tuning in!
Just got into Kayaking... i was under the impression to do a lot of water similar to what you guys are hitting, i was going to need a thousand dollar boat. but you guys seem to be do good with the rec Kayaks like that dolphin.. Looks like you guys have a blast!
Welcome to the sport James! You can find an amazing boat under $1k. I don’t recommend sun Dolphin but check out my video on the old town vapor. It may be exactly what you’re looking for
Such a solid pack list
Thanks man! It works well for my needs
you commented about saving half for basically the same thing on the camping chair. Well, the Yeti bag is $300 for a 60-liter bag. For 1/3 of that, you could get a 70-liter MIER Waterproof Dry Duffel Bag Airtight TPU Dry Bag on Amazon. Fit and finish on the Yeti looks to me to be better. And if I were to bet on longevity I would bet on the Yeti but, I wouldn't guess it would last 3 times as long. Just my thoughts for the more budget conscience.
You’re spot on and I agree with literally everything you said. I checked out the mier duffel for $100 and it looks like a great product. The yeti will take all the awards when it comes to the performance but half the battle is pricing. That’s generally why I never recommend it in my videos unless you’ve got extra cash laying around. All of those premium dry bags I actually bought off craigslist. I have researched dry bags considerably and Airtight TPU (like on MIER bags) is the way to go. My fishpond thunderhead backpack is made of 1680D TPU and absolutely bombproof.
Thanks for your quick answer on what kayak you are paddling now.
My pleasure mark!
Thanks for the review on the sleep system....I've been looking for a budget system of my own and your recommendations look to be right on point price wise. Love the shirt by the way...I have a gray one. Great review, your list is always practical and there are a lot of items which are budget friendly, which is helpful.
Hey Anthony good to hear from you! Yeah the hammock system is great so far. I'll do a long term review but based on other videos the durability seems to be on point. River King's shirts are the best! I'll have to bug pete to sell more colors. I appreciate you watching and checking out my list. I've always loved these types of videos when other people do them. A mix of budget friendly and premium is the way to go. People make fun of me for spending more on dry bags than my kayaks...lol
Hey Gatewood...quick question: How many times have you used this hammock and are you still happy with it? Narrowing down my choices and getting ready to pull the trigger.
Anthony Barbour I’ve hung it up for extended afternoon hangs many times. No chances for an overnight just yet. I’ve heard from some folks that bought it and have slept in it and they really enjoyed the system. Go watch Spiguyvers review as well, he’s spent a ton of time camping in it with high praise.
Just got a sit on two seater and I’m hooked dude. I’m in Dallas so I’ve been hitting pinewoods spots that are creepy and swampy. I’m ready to head to the hill country and south Texas this summer though. Good content brotha!
Hey that’s awesome! Once you start kayaking it’s hard to stop. ETX doesn’t quite have the appeal that the hill country does but it always has water which is a huge plus. Have fun out there!
I was trying to find one of my friends an action camera, purchased an Osmo Action last year and it's wonderful. Crazy thing is, I purchased that thing in August brand new for $210. Now it's selling for $345. I guess the chip shortage got to action cameras as well
Interesting! Haven’t noticed GoPro price fluctuations which is what I pay attention too. Action cameras are rad!
Just found your stuff, and it's awesome man! Dallas boy here! Keep it up, no doubt between the awesome subject matter and the video quality your channel will grow!
I appreciate the kind words my man! I’ve never paddled up in Dallas but surely there are some hidden gems. Growth is always the goal but fortunately this is a fun hobby for us so regardless of growth we will keep making videos. Just need this virus to go away
@@GatewoodBrown Yeah, I feel you there man, it has been wild. I hope you and your family // friends are staying safe! Luckily the weather has started to get to that Texas sweet spot, so it's a great time to be outside!
My biggest and ONLY complaint about your videos is I wish they were longer I can’t imagine the Time it takes to make these but I definitely wouldn’t be upset over a 45 min video. Also if you could do a video for someone trying to get into kayak camping and give tips for actually planning the trip what to look for and avoid and such as that. That would be fantastic
Tyler I appreciate the feedback! I’ve heard this same request from others so I definitely intend to execute on that. Longer and a complete guide to kayak camping
@@GatewoodBrown that would be fantastic your editing skills and voice overs make some professional documentaries look like child’s play.
@@thatoneguywithtwothumbs that means a lot! Thank you! It’s been such a fun hobby to work on. The community is what makes it all worth it too
Can you do like an in depth food guide to a kayak camping trip, I’m going on the Frio river kayak camping trip and I was curious what kind of food is good to bring for dinner over a campfire and for snacking on that won’t get to hurt if it gets a little wet
Hey chandler I absolutely can. I’ll add it to the list of videos to make since you’re not the only one who has inquired about it. For an overnight we usually bring some good meats to grill at night and sandwiches for lunch. Breakfast is generally coffee and cliff bars or something simple like that. Pack snacks to keep energy levels up between meals and bring tons of water, or a water filter. On the Frio you’ll be able to safely filter water
Hammock camping looks great. Not something we can do on our trips in many places in Australia, our trees drop branches, and camping near trees is not on. So it’s tents for us.
Yes! Same as us in Texas. Not every river has good trees for hammocking so we will tent camping where possible
Great video. Got some great pointers!
Thank you Andy! I’m glad you found some stuff useful
I'd like to see an in depth review on the hammock system. Specifically the tarp. A friend bought the same hammock and it seems very well made, a great deal.
You got it, I’ll be putting together a full review after some field use. I was also thinking about doing a first look video for the system since a lot of people have been interested in the details. The price for what you get is amazing
How do you pound in the aluminum metal stakes? do you use a rock or a multi tool? How about a couple nails for putting up the tarp?
Ya know I’ve actually stopped using stakes all together. Just find them to be a hassle unless I’m doing a rain tarp
I think im gonna get that hammock set. Thank you!
Question: could you do a video about planning a trips? Especially multi day? Do you think you’ll be going on another kayak hiking trip? If so could you film your process of planning it to? I’d really like to get into pack rafting but there aren’t many up to date planning videos. I actually have so many questions but I’ll keep at that. Thanks!
Hey, Whitney! Can't go wrong with the Ridge Outdoor Gear Hammock/Tarp setup. For the money, there's nothing else that compares. I actually filmed a 'How to Plan' a trip last month but haven't edited it up yet. I'm trying to get that put together soon since paddling season is here. Packrafting is a whole nother animal but probably one of my favorite types of trip. Which packraft are you looking at? I'll also be doing some more Q&A videos in the future so be on the lookout in the community tab for that. Thanks for tuning in!
I see you with that River Kings shirt!
River King’s for life! Pete’s shirts are actually pretty dang comfortable.
Yeah could you do a video on the carabiner that you used to lock down your hard case thanks
That’s a great idea and something I’ll incorporate into a new video
@@GatewoodBrown you got a good sense of humor 👍
Gatewood I always look forward to your uploads. Would love to see a stand-alone review and tutorial on your new hammock setup. One question out of curiosity...why do you prefer a sit in over a sit on top kayak? Keep up the great work and be safe during these strange times!
Hey Jay! We are definitely in some strange times...hopefully we get to the other side of this thing soon. I have a first look video planned for the hammock system, as well as a comprehensive review after I have the chance to do some trips with it. My initial thoughts on a few afternoon hangs are very good so far. As for sit in, I like the balance of sit in while going through rapids. It's also easier to paddle in the wind since you are low profile. Sit on is prevalent for fisherman so that they can site cast and have ease of bringing fish on board. Another positive to sit in for kayak camping is its ability to hold gear at the bottom of the boat instead of on top. This once again improves stability.

You should do a video on packing the kayak...might already have it and I couldn’t find it though.
I haven’t done that yet but definitely a great idea! I’ll put that down for a future idea
Wow! Great info! Good review on the cooler! Just in time as my old walmart one got destroyed in storage, Definitely like the dry bags. Thanks again for sharing! Hope your doing well with all thats going on these days
Rick from Virginia.
Thanks rick! The cooler is a welcome addition the list. The dry bags are expensive but for me and the gear I keep in them, it’s a must. Check your local used market on Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for some good deals. In Houston I’ve found good options. We are healthy so far, I hope you guys are doing the same.
I would like to see more on that hammock. I looked at it on Amazon and there are 2. One is symmetrical and the other is asymmetrical. I like my Yukon Outfitters freedom hammock, but the larger asymmetrical is rather interesting. Also the tarp would be interesting. Great looking gear!
Hey thanks big foot! Yeah when I saw the pinnacles hammock I about lost it, the price and dimensions, along with the reviews were great. I’ve only had a few afternoon hangs but once I take it out camping I’ll put together a review. I’m confident it’ll be great though

@@GatewoodBrown So is it the Asymmetrical version?
Yeti... take note... Gatewood would be an awesome ambassador 🌟 Texas Proud 💙
That would be legit! However, I’m starting to make my own equipment...they might’ve missed the boat! More on that soon as we get closer to launch.
Gatewood Brown ... Wow 😳
Think yeti but actually affordable haha
I can’t wait. Best of luck with your endeavor
Couple questions for ya. I’m in the market for a waterproof yeti bag, but can’t decide between the Panga 28 or 50. I am leaning towards the 28 because all I will have in it is my big camera (canon 77d), lenses, batteries, etc,. Do you think it is big enough? Where do you keep your big camera on trips or do you not bring it?
Also, I would love an in-depth review of the 28!
Great questions! If you don't plan on putting overnight supplies in the dry bags (think kayak camping) then I'd go 28. The backpack style is nice and more versatile for day to day use. The 50 I use explicitly for kayak camping and not anything else. For that it absolutely crushes. I did recently use the 28 on a casual trip to North Carolina and it worked great as carry on luggage. I use the Yeti Sidekick dry pouch for my camera. This allows for quick access on the river and it is surprisingly submersible. You'll pick it up for the first time and be like, no way this thing is water tight, yep it is!
Gatewood Brown thanks for the info!
Where did you get that Wyld gear cooler? I don’t see it on any websites (Amazon, wyld gear, even target)...that looks perfect! Haha I got to have it haha
Always think it’s cool from TH-cam to see where everyone is from that watch videos.
Seth from Naperville, Il.
Great job with your channel. I’m getting prepared to introduce my 6 year old son and 7 year old daughter to kayak camping next spring. Your channel has been a big help so far.
From what I’ve heard they’ve redone the design and are going to release it soon. Thanks for stopping by!
Nice, it always interesting to see what people use and pack along. I think I paid too much for my chair, yeah it came from REI🙄
I couldn't help but notice that shirt! Pete will be happy.
Thanks
I agree! Gear list videos have always peaked my interest to find ways to improve my own. They also make me realize how much useless stuff I bring that never gets used haha. REI brand is generally overpriced but they do have some great finds as well! Pete is the man, I’m happy to wear his shirts. And they’re comfy!
Would really like to see how that hammock and tarp work out. Thanks
I should have something along those lines coming soon. Just need to get back out on a river or trail system that is conducive to hammock camping.
@@GatewoodBrown Yeah, I'd like to see the "doors"?
A video about the paddle would be awesome...
That's a great idea Josh. I was thinking about doing a compare and contrast between the plastic, fiberglass, and carbon paddle offerings. I just may do it now!
Where did you get your cooler at? That’s looks pretty dope.
Thanks! It’s a Wyld Gear 20 soft cooler. It’s the most functional soft cooler I’ve ever used, even compared to my soft Yeti coolers
Gatewood Brown thank you. Ima get me one.
Can we please get a video on the Tifereth rope leash.
I did one last year! Check it out under the how to paddle section
@@GatewoodBrown can you send the video link? I can’t seem to find it.
Good video. I am bout to have to sit down and go through my gear. Hammock camping would save so much space compared to my tent. How do you break mindset of the sense of security a tent gives?
Hey David! The gear check is fun especially after watching other gear list videos. 2020 will be the year I try to cut down on what all I bring. The hammock switch has saved so much room already. Once I dial in a top quilt it'll get even better. I've found that having a bug net makes all the difference for me. Kind of like a tent without a bug net doesn't feel that safe. Give the Ridge Outdoor Gear hammock a try. For $49 you can't go wrong given the built in bug net, 11' length and comfortable material.
@@GatewoodBrown I just bought a new mat and quilt will at least use the set up I have a couple times before switching to hammock
Yes ya have to get your use before switching! I’ll be in the market for a quilt here pretty soon
I've drooled over those Yeti dry sacks for a while but just can't bring myself to pay Yeti prices. ;) For now my Eureka 115L Canoe Pack will have to do. ;)
The yeti's are awesome! I buy mine on the used market for usually around half off MSRP. I'll check out the Eureka and see what it is all about. Cheers Ryan!
@@GatewoodBrown Its basically a monstrous dry backpack for about $100 USD new. :) Though it may be too big to be useful for you. Yeti is def higher quality though.
I saw that! I usually prefer a combination of smaller bags so you can pack a kayak more balanced. Look into two 50’s
@@GatewoodBrown Yeah, makes sense. The reason I go with a single big one is that up here Ontario most paddling trip involve several long portages so I find it super handy to just have a single bag I can pull off the boat and put on my back. :)
Hey buddy back again. Doing the llano on July 7th super stoked. Do you have a new link to the hammock? The old one is discontinued and would like to send some cheddar your way. Thanks again!
Hey teddy! I think you have to reach out to ROG to buy the hammock now. They have an updated one coming out in July! For the llano it’s not the best for hammock camping so we always bring tents. Which stretch are you doing?
@@GatewoodBrown I was talking to someone about Telegraph to Junction, but I think you went more toward Mason on your trip. Any pointers or where you like better for a two day overnight trip? Any help is appreciated and thanks for the google earth idea trying to map the path now.
Flows are down right now so generally I’d stay away until some rain comes. Look to places closer to new braunfels for good flow.
Great gear vid. I’m using the Outdoor Vitals Loftek top quilt for all seasons. It is awesome for cold. Rated at -15 degree Celsius. Check out my February snow camping vid to see the conditions we took it into. Totally comfy and I like the quilt over the bag cuz it lets me regulate my temperature level just by being able to stick a leg out. Lol.
I’ll have to check that out for sure. I need to step it up and get some quilts for this winter.
how do you feel about the inflatable kayaks( the advanced elements advanced frame inflatable kayak vs say a sun dolphin). I am from houston as well and am big on backpacking and have just now found kayak camping, cant wait to do first trip!
Welcome to the sport! You’ve chosen the right one I must say. Forget the inflatable kayak, all it takes is one misplaced roots or rock and you’ll be having a miserable trip. Look on the used market, we have so many options here in the Houston area. Sun dolphin is hard to recommend because you’ll grow out of it very quickly
Please do San Marcus river
It's funny you say that, I have it all mapped out and everything...just need the virus to flush out. We have big plans for the Spring/Summer/Fall season
Sounds great!keep up the good work
Whats the best kayak for both fishing and river rafting or is there one? Love your videos just found your channel. Keep them coming.
Hey the Crescent Lite Tackle. It’ll be perfect for you.
You have some badass editing skills my friend. I dig. On another note, where ya'll get in the rivers at the bridges and where ya'll get out of the rivers, are ya'll vehicles just chillen on the side of the road the whole time? I'm trying to plan a Llano river trip but leaving vehicles on the side of the road overnight by a bridge seems sketchy.
I appreciate that my man! Yeah we just leave our vehicles on the side of the road. Not ideal but it is what it is. Often times you can schedule drop off and pick up with a local outfitter. That's a good route to go as well.
If you want a waterproof pack or bag , there’s only one you can get .. Watershed bags.. military and practically every white water or rafter uses them and there made in USA
I’ve heard great things about watershed. I much prefer the zipper enclosure so I’ll be sticking with those. I also just launched a dry backpack and it’s been my go to for many months now
what Kayak is this?! looks awesome for camping
Check out the old town solo sportsman 119. It’s what I currently use as a canoe / hybrid kayak. Love it!
Very helpful! Thank you!!! Do you think a Yeti Panga 75 is too big for an Alpacka Expedition Packraft (36" Width)
I’d say you’ll be fine!
Dang! Ridge was out of hammocks! I’ve been wanting a good one like that for a while
They should be restocking soon! Check back in a couple weeks. They may even be updating the hammock a bit
Gatewood, thanks, yes, we reached out to Ridge. They will be in stock soon! Can’t wait!!!
Wilson Gewin that is great news! Especially since it is peak camping season.
What about the Red Solo cup we always see??
Yes that thing is awesome!! It’s aluminum and honestly one of my favorite cups. Look up Wyld Cup and you’ll see them
Awesome!!.. Thanks for the video.
My pleasure, Will! Thank you for tuning in. Have a good one!
Cool video Gatewood. What are those lenses on your gopros?
Hey thanks Justin! Since the Hero 8 doesn’t have an interchangeable lens I put a polarizing filter on it. If the camera will be getting wet at all I’ll take it off. I also use a polarizer on the hero 7 sometimes. For skiing and high speed boating I’ll use ND filters for that awesome looking motion blur
anyone know of a more budget friendly soft cooler that has safe features as the Wyld Gear 20 he mentions in the video? (Im mostly interested in the compartment to keep my food from getting soaked. thanks
I haven’t seen any but I’d bet Amazon has some options
Solid info brutha!!! I always take way too much crap and i always tell myself I'm gonna take less hahhhaa
Thanks my man! Yeah I've been watching some ultra light hikers and seeing what they pack made me feel terrible haha. Definitely going to start cutting down on what I take. There is so much I don't use, but pack any way lol. Maybe that can be our resolution for this year
do a review for the wyld gear 20 soft cooler
That’s in the plans for sure. I think they’re updating it right now so I may wait until they release the new one
@@GatewoodBrown Good to know. I struggled to find them available anywhere. That compartment that keeps food out of the ice is a game changer.
@@jandcwest it absolutely is. I’m really hopeful they include it in the next one
What DSLR camera / lenses did you use on the riverkings trek video?
Hey Paul! A7III with the sigma 35mm f1.4 lens
What kayak do you use? Can you do a review on that?
I for sure will! It’s the ascend h10
Do you have a link for the chair?
Hmm if it’s not linked below, check out moon lence on amazon. You can click a link and then search for it.
Gatewood video but a River Kings shirt. I’m so confused.
Good friends with Pete! Check our my North Carolina video. Went hiking and Packrafting with Pete and crew!
What’s on the lens of your gopros?
I use a CPL filter on the GoPro. Makes colors pop and cuts glare
im going to be going kayaking out in the seawater and im curious what kind of kayak i should be getting im going to be doing alot of fishing please help sir.
Hey Scott thanks for reaching out! Are you wanting to get a pedal kayak or paddle? Lots of fisherman elect to do pedal drive systems like the old town sportsman 106 PDL. For a paddling kayak I’d check out viking kayaks or crescent kayaks
@@GatewoodBrown im looking for a pedal drive i weigh around 260 so im a bit heavy which sea kayak for fishing would you recomend for my weight?
@@GatewoodBrown i weigh 265 and i need a sea kayak Pedal drive for the tongass waters of alaska so what you recomend sir?
Scott therock great! I’d recommend the old town sportsman line of boats. They have the big water which is 13.5 feet long, and the sportsman 120 pdl which is 12 feet. Old town won awards for their pedal drive systems and they offer a great value. I’d start by looking at those!
For sure, an in depth needs to be done on that hammock and tarp! That price is just too good.
You bet! As soon as I have some field use with the hammock and tarp I’ll be editing a review up. I’ve had a few afternoon hangs in it and it was truly a lay flat for me (6’2”). Can’t wait to camp with it

Anyone know why WyldGear discontinued soft sided coolers? Went to buy one and can't find them new.
I think they’re doing a redesign. Haven’t heard anything in awhile though
What kayak is that, I kinda wanna pick one up
I believe it’s the vapor 10 in this video!
I saw in one of your vids you were using the ascend hybrid kayak. How did you like it and would you recommend it? ive been debating on getting one.
The Ascend H10 is my go to kayak camping boat right now. I absolutely love the thing and highly recommend it. Ease of gear loading is key and the H10 excels at that. Also, when you load your gear in it, the center of gravity is very low which allows for stability in turbulent water. For me, that is important. No more being top heavy. Have fun out there! Usually there are some on the used market as well.
@@GatewoodBrown thanks buddy. I enjoy your vids someime when u get a chance send me some good put in locations on the llano if you have time my buddy and i are planning on doing a 4 or 5 day paddle and camp this summer on it.
@@nateshattuck4429 Nice that sounds like a fun time. My biggest advice would be to map out sections of river in Google Earth and find a mileage that you all are comfortable with. Monitor flow rates and set out after consistent rainfall.
Bro is it worth paying the money for the panga 50L? I want one so bad but I can’t justify buying a duffle for that much! Lol you should definitely to an in depth review on it!
It totally is! The panga 50 is one of the few constant pieces that stays in my gear list from year to year. Check your Craigslist or Facebook marketplace for the yeti products. I’ve had good luck finding them there
WHAT???? NO UNDERWEAR? You must go commando....LOL. Cool video, thanks for sharing.
A magician never tells his secrets!
What kind of sausages do you guys take on your trips?
Also, have you guys done the devils river north of Del Rio Texas?
We always take the kiolbassa brand. They’re local Texan sausages and taste exquisite. We buy them in HEB. Haven’t done the devils yet but I plan on that soon
Great video!
But, ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! Aquabound Tango is the best paddle.
I’ve never tried that one out! For $400 I bet it’s amazing though, a little steep!
@@GatewoodBrown I love it. Worth the dough!
I think you missed a really important item that was shown during the entire video.
What watch do you wear. ???
Oh no I definitely did! Are you a watch guy? It’s a seiko SKXA35 diver. It’s been with me a lot of places
@@GatewoodBrown I am a big watch guy.
Love watches especially dive watches.
Kept looking at your the entire video. Lol.
Love your videos.love your personality, your narration, your story telling. You are such a fantastic TH-camr. Keep it up your FAN for life.
The panga 28 backpack
Great pack back for sure!
😎👍 thanks for sharing..
Yessir it's my pleasure! I appreciate you checking out my gear list. Happy paddles!
Nice cooler, but I’d never take it camping where we live. It’s bear bait.
Out of curiosity, how is it bear bait above and beyond any other cooler? If we were in bear country I’d simply tie a rope to the handle and pull it up into a tree just like you’d do with a food sack
What kayak are you using?
Hey Mark, right now I'm in the Ascend H10 hybrid kayak. It has been awesome so far and I totally recommend it.
Nice one ,
Thank you!

Yeti is a great brand, but if your a fishermen or hunter, DO NOT BUY YETI. Yeti is against fishing and hunting. We don't need to fund someone that got rich off outdoorsmen that doesnt actually support what we do.
I’ve seen some stuff about that. I now have my own dry bag company, remote designs, so I’m mostly off the yeti products
When/why did America/Texas go on the damn metric bullshit system???
Man I don’t know!
Looks like you’ve got yeti on the brain , too high for most !
Yeti makes a great product but like you said, they’re proud of it! Haha that’s one of the reasons I started Remote Designs dry bags. An offering that provides waterproof capabilities at a price that makes sense
Corporate pandering nube
Hah! 100k people disagree with you. Lots of folks looking for gear lists so they have a better idea of what to pack
