Spent the last several weeks editing this adventure, enjoy! EDIT: lots of Q’s about the Sportsman, this was filmed in December before I got the 120. I’ll be taking the Sportsman on current trips!
@@GatewoodBrown Arkansas river i will be in buena vista too. it is a whole new ball park for sure. trying to up my skills for a five day trip in chile next year.
Perfect timing for this one! Fishing trip to the coast got cancelled yesterday, so our crew decided yesterday afternoon that we should hit the river instead! We’re launching shortly and paddling the stretch a little below where y’all were (Sisterdale to Amman’s.) I recognize just about every spot in your vid. LOL!
As a norther New Yorker I find it really amazing you Texans are camping in low temps and really showing YT and the world what Texas has to offer. Came across your Big Bend video first and now this one, it is so great to see Texas is so much more than oil fields and cattle ranches
Yes Texas really is a diverse place! From coastal swamps to high desert, we have a lot of varying geography! The north is renowned for paddling though. I’d like to spend more time up there
Texas has lakes, mountains, rivers, tons of coastline, national parks, cold as well as hot natural springs, and part of the largest desert in North America my dude.
Thank you for the kind words! I’ve researched heavily on how to best keep an audience engaged because if that happens, generally means the video is better. I just try to tell the story in an interesting way and always make sure to cut any ‘fat’. Been really happy with the way the videos are after these changes!
Love that stretch of water. Great trip. Water was low when we took it too. Very technical to get around them. That stretch it seems like the river puts you from swift water to a 90 degree turn, big ole tree or brush. Love it
Your storytelling is outstanding! Thanks for showing off Texas the way you do and having fun while doing it. Kayaking is something I hope to pick up soon and share that experience with my girlfriend and son.
Thank you Carlos! I’m glad the story came through in the video. We had quick the time! Ups and downs constantly. Kayaking is a wonderful hobby for sure!
I found your channel by chance. Thanks for making this video & sharing it. I watched with a smile the whole time. My best friends, the ones that would do these sort of things, they’re all gone now. You & your buddies, make it count. Be blessed 👍🏻
I appreciate your comment so much. Took a screenshot and sent it to the guys in this video. It’s our goal to do this for as long as possible and hope to always keep a good perspective on the trips. You be blessed as well!
Absolutely breathtaking. loved it. Glad to see you all actually enjoying it instead of where I'm at just a bunch of people drinking all day and then getting sick before the end and not staying hydrated. Made me want one of those coffees lol.
What a beautiful area for kayaking fun. That look super fun!! When you hear the loud noise of water you know fun is on its way. Awesome times with the boys. Congrats on 20K. 👊🏻
Holy TOPEKA!! You guys are killin’ it! You and your buddies look like an extra cool crew. Love the equipment mentions! Your video talent and editing skills are FIRST RATE, man! Also: as a man who spent years in the coffee industry I am COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by your crew’s love of java. The lengths you guys go to for a primo cup of coffee is so BUENO. I’m fairly new to your vids-and I have sporty family members in Houston and all around Austin-I’m going to turn them on to the GATEWOOD BROWN experience and share these video adventures with them. I’ll be kayaking on the Arkansas River next weekend with an overnight on a sandbar, myself. God Bless you Texans and stay safe!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Absolutely made my day reading this. I feel fortunate to have this crew and the fact we all share a love of fine craft coffee haha. I honestly wasn’t expecting the big espresso maker and steamer, usually we have smaller equipment but I’m thinking that needs to be a mainstay
Hint. Attach a surf ski paddle tether to your paddles. Then you can let go your paddle and NOT lose it. Loving your videos Showing me places i never knew of in the USA. cheers from downunder
Ya know it’s personal preference but I always recommend to leave the paddle leash at home. I’ve heard of too many stories with people getting wrapped up and pinned by a paddle leash. At the end of the day it’s better to lose a paddle than get injured. Most of the time you’ll be fine though!
I can't help but say finally! I'm only on the add before the actual video but I can already say I know this is going to be awesome after waiting for two weeks. 🤜🏻
With all the rain we’ve had the last 2 months the Texas rivers are looking good. I live on the Llano River and it’s been flowing so good. It also means it’s a bit more murky than usual. Takes a few days to clear up. Good kayaking conditions.
@@GatewoodBrown if you and your crew ever need a free shuttle on the Llano, I’ve got the trailer and truck to make it happen. Keep up the good content. I love your channel and can’t wait to see when you finally make it to the Devil’s River. It’s absolutely stunning out there. Especially on a night with a new moon - the stars are just a good as Big Bend there.
Man, your videos are so inspiring and mind refreshing they come just like an oasis in the middle of a dry desert. I wish you could do these trips in France one day, I would definitely join you. Plus, your storytelling, editing and production quality are breathtaking. I'm in love with Texas now.
Excellent adventure, sitting here in Canada with three feet of snow & ice at -35 and looking forward to getting back to kayaking. Thanks for sharing your amazing adventure.
Thanks GPS! Ya know you Canadians deal with some intense weather. But I think that is why your country as a whole appreciates the summertime outdoors so much. I’ve always been inspired by y’all’s commitment to adventure!
@@GatewoodBrown hey sorry I just saw this I was in Ingram! It was raining but it was amazing 🤩 didn’t go kayaking but I did go in an inflatable boat! It was to far of a drive to bring my kayaks so we didn’t!
Gatewood!!! Love the video. Your crew is the best. Ever thought about coming up to the Brazos below Possum Kingdom? Get shuttled from Rochelle's up to the dam. It's a two-day float. Check your flow rates people. Late spring should be good. Check it out.
Exactly. Unfortunately these videos take a long time to edit since it’s something I do as a hobby outside of work/life/etc. it’s my passion though and I love it! So cool to have people watch the trips. Thank you for the kind words!
Watching you, guys it brings so many good memories back when my friends and i used to go camping and fishing to scenarios just like those, except that the waters were crystal clear on the northern part of Mexico by the Sierra Madre on the other side of Big Bend National Park. Kudos to you guys and many more adventures. I enjoy watching you having fun.
Thank you! It’s never too late to do a reunion camping trip. You just may start an annual event! I’ve got a big bend river video coming in the next couple months
This is so funny. I just came to your page last night, hoping there was a new video. Then I get the notification that you just posted, and now my mind is at ease!
Thank you so much! Bennett has gotten into paddle boarding and it’s kind of enticed me to try it out sometime. That and yalls videos, looks like a fun gig!
That's awesome. I was just in Kerrville earlier this week visiting family and as we were looking at the Guadalupe River my 5 year old asked if we could kayak it someday.
@@PaddleTV I appreciate that! I use a Sony A7III w/ Sigma 24-70 f2.8 on HLG 3 at 1080p 120fps. The rest is GoPro footage (this video was in GoPro color although I usually shoot in flat).
Great videos, this life passes so quickly...trips like this should be required by law lol, it would make everyone healthier, more grateful, and frankly a better person with less stress. Very good editing, setup, filming, narration, etc....the work involved putting stuff like this together....great job. I tell everyone...try some editing and you will look at videos very different and appreciate the skill like in this video.
It really does and I’m so thankful to go on these trips during this phase in life. I’ve heard Canada is starting to prescribe free national park passes to people with depression, how cool! Yes that is a great perspective about editing, it’s a beast but fortunately it’s one of the parts I enjoy most. Bringing a story together to share with others is so rewarding
It’s hard to give access points since flow rates really change the characteristics of a river. It’s best to talk with local outfitters and guides before your trip. They’ll be able to steer you towards the best section to paddle.
Just a bit surprised the water was so low after all the rain we have had . I got a new paddle all fiberglass Ozark Trail . Now I see what you were saying about how stiff they need to be . If all goes to plan we are going to Arkansaw to do the Buffalo or the Ouachita this coming weekend . My buddy Tim has a friend in Ola Arkansas she is close to several rivers the Fourche La Fave the Petit Jean and the Ouachita . We could camp or do day runs on all of them , guess we will decide when we get there . Can't fly on the Buffalo but I can get a lot of gopro action and some good shots with the Lumix . Did you see my video on the 26K mah solar power bank ? No more dead batteries . Awesome video man , like always .
This was back in December, just took awhile to edit the video! Y’all should be sitting great up in AR given the recent weather. A stiff paddle does wonders for efficiency
Vids are getting increasingly awesome due in no small part to the story telling, GW. Nice man. The "getting older and more difficult to get out" hit home, btw.
man you making me want to fly out there and paddle those rivers. im on a paddle board but im ready lol. im always loving your videos man!!! God bless!!!
Hey Gatewood, love your name. I have been binge watching your videos and wanted to ask you a few questions. First do you ever see high end inflatable kayaks out there, like sea eagle or aquaglide? And how well do they do? I purchased an aquaglide kayak because i live in a condo and it just made more sense for me. Also, would love to see a video explaining camping laws in texas, what spots you can camp etc, more detail on how you enter and exit, how you get back to your car or what you do there. Maybe your pick of beginner/intermediate/expert places youve kayaked. Thank you love your content!
Hey thanks for the awesome comment! My only experience with an inflatable kayak is the alpacka raft. I don’t initially recommend inflatables for hill country rivers just based on the question of durability. We have lots of rock drags that would wear through kayaks pretty easily. I’d stick to rivers that are deep for inflatables. I definitely plan on doing more beginner how to videos this off season!
Love your adventures, it is really inspiring my to get out there with my kayak. I do have one question at the end of your float down the river how do yall organize getting back to your vehicles?

It's great to see overnight fun trips presented so well..
Outstanding job!
Thank you so much! I work hard on the editing process so it’s good to see folks enjoying the videos
What program do you use for editing?
@@850OVERLAND Final cut pro!
@@GatewoodBrown Agreed! Great edits! What kind of camera and equipment do you use? The slo-mo looks buttery smooth 🤤
@@CesarTx42069 thank you! Mostly GoPro but then also those detail shots are done with a Sony a7iii
Wish I had some friends that were down for something like this
Check out Facebook groups!
Me to man.
Yes I am.
I live in victoria
I have a pescador 12 sport sit on top kayak.
Spent the last several weeks editing this adventure, enjoy!
EDIT: lots of Q’s about the Sportsman, this was filmed in December before I got the 120. I’ll be taking the Sportsman on current trips!
heading back to Colorado Tuesday for some more white water lessons. i am always down to paddle if you ever need a copilot just hit me up.
When was this trip filmed Gatewood?
December!
Man Colorado will be a dream! Which river? We’ve done the Taylor out in Crested Butte and the Brown Canyon in buena vista
@@GatewoodBrown Arkansas river i will be in buena vista too. it is a whole new ball park for sure. trying to up my skills for a five day trip in chile next year.
Nice, we first ran the river in 1969 and even made it into Texas Highway magazine, now we are old and live it thru you young guys, cheers...
It’s an honor to meet the guys who paved the way for us to paddle the fine rivers! Thank you!
10:50 Where Ric Flair meets Matt Damon. You guys are great!
I love that haha. Passed your comment on to the boys and they got a kick out of it
Very nice! Luckily everybody thought Lattes werent ridiculous city kid behavior on the river. Very precious.
Haha we like our lattes! And apparently so does everyone else which is fun. Enjoying quality beverages like coffee on the river is so relaxing
What a lucky guy you are. Cherish those times you have with your friends as you get older it gets harder
I sure do. Definitely don’t take these trips for granted at all
Perfect timing for this one! Fishing trip to the coast got cancelled yesterday, so our crew decided yesterday afternoon that we should hit the river instead! We’re launching shortly and paddling the stretch a little below where y’all were (Sisterdale to Amman’s.) I recognize just about every spot in your vid. LOL!

this seriously looks so fun, especially with a big group!
I feel very fortunate to have those guys to paddle with
That trip was so rad! Great crew and gorgeous Texas scenery. Thanks gatewood!
Thanks my man! So stoked to have shared this trip with you. Let’s go again soon!
You guys need to be sponsored by Black Rifle Coffee..... they would dig this content.
I’ve actually never had their coffee!
Dude your channel eases up my winter months suffering without kayaking. Thank you
You’ll have to make a couple more Nordic paddles! Haha that’ll pass the time a bit
@@GatewoodBrown I'll have to make like thirty of those
@@dbf_91 Haha! I often forget just how long winter lasts up north. Could be a fun hobby to develop as a side business!
you guys are absolutely the definition of washingtonians esp w that coffee outdoors addiction u guys have going on
Haha but the Washingtonians were encouragers of sobriety! So we are the opposite of that with coffee
@@GatewoodBrown LOLLL probably because they’re already addicts w heath problems bc of it 😅😭😂
I love that this was filmed right before our big snow storm. Again,Great production and story telling!!
Yeah we sure didn’t know what to expect. Honestly just glad it didn’t happen on us at night haha
What!? OMG it's time to level-up my camp coffee game!
Thanks! A good brew is vital out on the river.
Like the flow of your videos. You show the trip happening but do it in a way that doesn't put me to sleep and keep it exciting. Thanks

That low water makes it tricky like you said. Definitely why we had more spills than usual
We live in the Dallas area and I've been asking for a kayak for four years but mostly only knew of lake kayaking. I'm so glad I found your videos!
River kayaking is the best! More enjoyable than lakes for sure. Highly recommend giving them a try!
@@GatewoodBrown are there permits you need to have? Either for the kayak itself or to camp on the river shores?
Your storytelling is outstanding! Thanks for showing off Texas the way you do and having fun while doing it. Kayaking is something I hope to pick up soon and share that experience with my girlfriend and son.
Thank you Carlos! I’m glad the story came through in the video. We had quick the time! Ups and downs constantly. Kayaking is a wonderful hobby for sure!

ewwww tubers lol
@@BlueEffigy so many lol! but some overnight kayakers that rope together.
Yeah the upper guad seldom looks like the lower part below canyon. Down there it’s a totally different atmosphere. Coffee in the river is a delight!
makes me wanna jump on my kayak and go on some adventures. Hopefully humanity can preserve our environment so generations can enjoy this
Do it! There’s tons of nature out there and preservation is on peoples minds now
This is how you tell a great story! Well done.
Story is everything! I just hope to do the actual trip justice in the editing bay haha
Omg the coffee setup 🔥🔥🔥☕☕☕
It goes hard in the paint haha
That latte setup is awesome
It’s the real deal haha. I didn’t expect it but am so here for that
What a beautiful area for kayaking fun. That look super fun!!
When you hear the loud noise of water you know fun is on its way.
Awesome times with the boys. Congrats on 20K. 👊🏻
Man it’s gorgeous out there! Love hearing some good white water in the distance haha. Thanks! Still wild to hit that mark, on to the next one!

That’s one of the better camp spots I’ve ever stayed at. Definitely returning!
Right, that little rapid makes sleeping peacefull! You gotta come do some kayak camping in Colorado now. I’m loving every minute of it!!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed this one
Awesome little adventure
Thanks for tuning in! Love the rivers during winter
Love these video , wish they were longer. Can’t wait for the next one !!
If they were longer people wouldn’t watch them! Lol maybe I’ll do extended cuts for winter release or something
Would you mind sharing your put in and take out points?
It’s hard to give access points since flow rates really change the characteristics of a river. It’s best to talk with local outfitters and guides before your trip. They’ll be able to steer you towards the best section to paddle.
@@GatewoodBrown thank you
Love the way this was shot, narrated and put together! Can definitely tell yall had fun🤠🤙 looked like a fun paddle
Thank you so much TTO! We had a blast out there for sure, glad it came through on the edit
Someday!! So beautiful!
You got this!
Nice production , looked like a great little trip, thanks for sharing from over here in Australia 👍🏻
Cheers! I love the content that comes out of Australia!
Will be planning a Guadalupe trip this year for sure! Appreciate the video man, great work as always.
Have fun! The guad is quickly growing to be one of my favorite rivers. Very diverse for sure
I'm familiar with that section of the Guad, super fun paddle! Gotta check out some sections north near Kerville and Hunt.
It really is a blast! Probably needs more water right now but back then flows were decent. Yes I need to! The north fork looks amazing
sometimes I would go under the bridge on I-10 and have fun in the river. Sometimes I would fish, sometimes ill get taken away from the rapids lol.
...so LOVE this!
Thank you!
Your videos inspired me to follow suite been getting me and my buddies ready to start doing this for some amazing trips !!
Wow that is awesome to hear! Y’all should get after it for sure
Congrats on 20K. Wow you are killing it on TH-cam!

Wow that’s the ultimate compliment! Seriously! Thank you for tuning in
@@GatewoodBrown My pleasure bud, can't wait to see what other adventures you have in store.
Just a bit surprised the water was so low after all the rain we have had . I got a new paddle all fiberglass Ozark Trail . Now I see what you were saying about how stiff they need to be . If all goes to plan we are going to Arkansaw to do the Buffalo or
the Ouachita this coming weekend . My buddy Tim has a friend in Ola Arkansas she is close to several rivers the Fourche La Fave the Petit Jean and the Ouachita . We could camp or do day runs on all of them , guess we will decide when we get there . Can't fly on the Buffalo but I can get a lot of gopro action and some good shots with the Lumix . Did you see my video on the 26K mah solar power bank ? No more dead batteries . Awesome video man , like always .

Vids are getting increasingly awesome due in no small part to the story telling, GW. Nice man. The "getting older and more difficult to get out" hit home, btw.
I appreciate that dude! I really started working on story telling last year and am glad to see it’s starting to shine through
Parabéns ao grupo. Excelente produção, narração, lindas imagens, uma aventura para aventureiro nenhum botar defeito. 😀👍🚣

Thank you so much! Epic TH-cam name by the way haha
Hey Gatewood, love your name. I have been binge watching your videos and wanted to ask you a few questions. First do you ever see high end inflatable kayaks out there, like sea eagle or aquaglide? And how well do they do? I purchased an aquaglide kayak because i live in a condo and it just made more sense for me. Also, would love to see a video explaining camping laws in texas, what spots you can camp etc, more detail on how you enter and exit, how you get back to your car or what you do there. Maybe your pick of beginner/intermediate/expert places youve kayaked. Thank you love your content!
Hey thanks for the awesome comment! My only experience with an inflatable kayak is the alpacka raft. I don’t initially recommend inflatables for hill country rivers just based on the question of durability. We have lots of rock drags that would wear through kayaks pretty easily. I’d stick to rivers that are deep for inflatables. I definitely plan on doing more beginner how to videos this off season!
Let’s go!! Excited for the new video!!
Woo! Hope you enjoyed it!
Awesome stuff! Very jealous!! I need a kayak!
Kayaks unlock a lot of cool places for sure!
Love your adventures, it is really inspiring my to get out there with my kayak. I do have one question at the end of your float down the river how do yall organize getting back to your vehicles?
Great video 🤙
Thank you so much!
