This guy straight slays with no bullshit. Prob best fishing channel on the tube
Thanks bro
Been on my bucket list for a while now.
It’s definitely a bucket list place to go! This is one of the more comprehensive videos showing footage of the paddling on the devils
I can’t get over how beautiful and clear that water is. I would never want to leave that place! Thanks for sharing your extended video!
Nice! So glad you decided to upload an extended edit. I know thats a lot of extra work beyond the shorter video, but I know I enjoyed it immensely! You've inspired me to start trying to get out on the water more and record the journey. Keep up the great work man! You are an inspiration!
So much footage doesn't make the main edit. Enjoy this extended cut of our kayak camping trip on the Devils Rivers!
Where did you start and finished in this river
@@TienTran-bi1jv I plan on putting together a river guide for this river since so many folks have asked
Brosef! You are so lucky to be able to do this stuff! Love your content cant get enough!
@@MikenShadow we try not to take it for granted! Stoked to have you along for the ride
I’m exhausted.
Mannnnnnnnn! I know it sucks, but some of us like the extended scenic videos! More more more!
The extended videos are great! It's essentially something I export when halfway through editing. I'll be sure to do extended cuts for all the major videos we do!
Such beautiful beautiful water and scenery
One of my favorite places to visit. And that determination was only after one visit!
Love the area Gatewood. Beautiful scenery and it looked like some areas were skinny and some areas were deep. Great job on avoiding the rocks. Looked like a really fun trip for kayaking fun!! I need to bite the bullet and get me one of those dry bags. Absolutely loved the video brother 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Great video, we ran it April 2022, 4 days 33 miles, wind was killer
The wind is savage! Man that’s the worst part by far. Unrelenting and ever present. Always in the ring direction too haha
Awesome man, maybe next year you can come up to the east coast and check out the Potomac River , you can always tag along in on of our trips
Love this! Just got an old town vapor 12 have been loving it. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you for 45 minutes of straight dopamine.
Such a sick trip! The river was beautiful but boney! Lol you were skating on rock most of the time! Lol awesome footage as usual!
Thanks for all the hard work!
I learn so much from ur vids !! Love each and every view it shows
32:36 Thats why I SUP. I can see everything below and ahead. Great video. I really enjoyed it. I will be doing this river next summer.
Been kayaking the Devils for 7 years straight! About to make another trip in a week or so. It will eat your lunch if it's flowing. Before that we used to camp as far up the river in Lake Amistad (Satans Canyon) we could go since the late 70's. Your crew did not secure their fishing gear very well and wrecked shop! That sucks because the fishing is insane on that river. Great video showing the beauty of the river, Keep it clean!
What was the cfs when you guys went? 120-150? You ought to see it at 450!
180! I’d love to do it at 450. That would be the dream!
Oh wow! We need to start making it annual, always a great time out there. How was it back in the 70s? Our fishing gear got wrecked indeed!
One day, i'd love to do this and enjoy this feeling. So amazing to see it on video....can't imagine this in person.
You can definitely do it! In person is so much better than on video, that I can promise.
WeeYoow another stunning adventure Man keep safe.
Looks Awesome! Great footage! Been on the bucket list for awhile now.
Been waiting on the raw edit ! Sick footage man.
Thanks dude! You like them? A good way for me to get two videos out for one trip since I can’t upload frequently
@@GatewoodBrown I love them, multiple day kayak trips carry hours of video memory’s and and I can’t believe you edit it down as small as you do. I know it’s tough to cut some stuff, hard to do it justice! But you will never forget experiencing it with friends to do it with !
@@DeepRiverNativeLLC that means a lot and stoked to hear the feedback. I film quite a bit but probably not as much as some. But yes, so much gets cut that it’s nice to share that in a low impact way. They’ve performed well too which is good
Incredible adventure nothing but FUN!
Thanks for sharing this experience, the scenery is beautiful, and love your videos.
Beautiful! What were your launch and take out points?
I believe this is the best one I’ve watched so far. I’ve only missed a few of your video. Thanks for the ride. ✌️😊
Thank you so much! The devils is definitely noteworthy and made the story telling easy with those excellent visuals. I need to go back!
My brother, cousins and I are planning this trip soon, I’m so pumped for the adventure! Thanks for all the awesome videos you make man, it’s super inspiring
where are you planning to put in & out?
@@JasonSmith-wj2ht still working out all the details
great video man. always fun to watch your adventures. cheers
I appreciate that Brad! Means a lot to have you watching all the videos
I love this whole footage, what month did you do the Devils in?
Thank you! This was October 2022 at decent flow rates. Right now they’re much lower unfortunately
Your videos are awesome! Thanks for sharing!!
Great video! What time of the year did you paddle this? And who did you use for your shuttle service?
I left the same questions on your short version as well.
Where did you put in and pull out? Also what time of year, I'm wondering about water levels. This is gonna be my next trip
Hey Gatewood! hope you're doing well. I noticed the website wasn't selling the brown backpack or the sling anymore. Will you be bringing those back? I was hoping to get them for my birthday :D
This looks intense man! Awesome video as always!
Thanks for always watching! Man, intense is correct since we didn’t know the river and everything was a suprise
You have to come and join us at Rockadock 2023 or look into making a kayak/camp where all the subscribers come and kayak with you!!
Looks like a good time! The event is quite far from where I live so it would be tough to make. One day I’ll do a meetup!
I'll be the first to register!! Wish you could make it though!! I'm in Indianapolis driving 11 hours with my best friend just to experience it! @@GatewoodBrown
Love these extended cuts
Rad! I’ll have to keep doing them
Meraviglioso! 🤩
Hey man, I love the content! Quick question: I am getting into kayaking and wanted to know your thoughts on sit-in vs sit-on kayaks. It seems like everyone says sit-in is the way to go but I always see you with a sit-on so I just wanted your thoughts.
Shouts out from Del Rio
Del rio is so optimally located!
Awesome video man!!!
Thanks Pablo!
I love the video! Those rapids look like a lot of fun. It must have been magical!
It was really awesome! The rapids and clear water were probably the best part
Bucket list definitely! What paddle you using?
Awesome video & very good video quality.
Thank you Ricardo! I appreciate you watching
Gostei de ver rios ( águas cristalinas ) bem preservados e belas paisagens.
you crushed that
Thank you!!
Amazing
Thank you!
Nice!! 👋😎👍
Cheers mr. Canajian!
Epic!
Thank you!
where did you guys put in? Really interested in doing this one myself.
Love it❤
Thank you!
@GatewoodBrown I was feeling so bad when I watched this video....but every time you would hit a rapid and laugh, I could feel your excitement and your laughter was so genuine and I was laughing with you! I'm disabled and old, but that looked like the best time! The clear river was absolutely beautiful! Thanks for taking me along! Love from South Georgia 🙏🏻💓🇺🇸
Beautiful river. Someday I will go & enjoy it. Just a question of when. It looks like the river was running pretty good while you were there.
You absolutely should! It was running great when we went. Not too high and definitely not too low
Please give scoop on where you got that pull/tow rope. Learning I need to hook one up to our kayaks. Thanks
It’s a dog leash! haha I’ve found they work best
@@GatewoodBrown was thinking that, that's using your noodle to get the job done AND save a few bucks! 🤙🏾
@@BDiHaze haha indeed! They’re perfect
Beautiful! I have the same Kayak. What paddle do you use? Looking for a good one to match my orange Oldtown.
Look no further than what I use in this video, the AquaBound Whiskey in Fire. It's pricey but worth every penny!
Was that the hammok guy sleeping up against the rocks? LOL it's worth all the injuries
It was! Worked out great the first night but that second camping place was brutal for hammocks!
Also you helped me tremendously with my decision to buy my sportsman 120 since I love to fish fast water and you proved a fishing kayak could handle it. I noticed you switched to the sportsman 106, did you notice and pros or cons?weight , storage, maneuverability? Thanks so much!
Dude that is so rad! The 120 is my main steed but for this trip I had the opportunity to try a 106 and I said what the heck, let’s do it. I’d never paddled one and wanted to compare it to the 120. Overall the 120 wins between the two for kayak camping in rivers. I like the extra length that mainly makes for a longer front end. I didn’t notice much of a maneuverability improvement so all in all I like the 120. However this video shows it doesn’t really matter, either will get you to cool spots! I’m just like everyone else and enjoy paddling different kayaks to see what they’re like. The 106 is definitely easier to store though
@@GatewoodBrownthank you !! Can’t wait for the next content to drop ! Added you on FB, I want to send you some DRN merch. Easy paddling my friend!
@@DeepRiverNativeLLC right on! I don’t use Facebook much but I’ll be sure to check that out. Thanks man!
@@GatewoodBrown I got you on Instagram too!
Where did you park for your launch
What camera/lense are you shooting on?
Thank you for you nice video sir. Me and my wife enjoyed watching it. Because of your video, we’re looking into getting into kayaking. May I know what backpack are you using in this video and if you could run down your gear if it’s not too much of a hassle? Appreciate it advance. God bless!
Edit: Apparently im not reading. My apologies.
Damn that guy really got messed up at 14:01 LOL, there were some gnarly overturns in this one for sure
Am interested in going on trip like this. But I am torn between a 12 foot and 14 foot kayak. Which is better.
For river trip such as yours.
What’s the green bag with the Texas flag on it? Awesome video!
Remote designs! It’s a dry bag company I started to help us enjoy the outdoors via protecting our gear from the elements. Linked in the description!
@@GatewoodBrown Thanks for the response! Trying to get into kayaking that helps!
Coming up on a Devils river trip next week and curious for drinking/cooking did yall filter water, carry water jugs, or a combo of both? Water is heavy to lug around so I appreciate any advice!
Great questions! I recommend getting the water filter linked in the description. It includes everything I take on trips and places like the devil are great for filtering water. Every gallon left behind is 8lbs! So we like to filter when possible
Thanks!
The triad: the Devils, Rio Grande at Santa Elena Canyon and the Pecos.
Love that. The west Texas triad! I just need to do the Pecos and lower canyons of the rio
Gotta love the natural piss water
Great video! What GoPro mounts did you use on your lifevest and the front of your kayak?
Thanks! Just a jaws mount for the rear facing camera and a clip mount for the life jacket
i just tried to watch your latest trip and it says that it is private. you can not see the video. just fyi
Thanks for the heads up man. Yeah I had to make it private because of a music copyright claim SO I'm reuploading it this week. What a pain! haha
i would have been sued so many times if i had a channel. lol
@@GatewoodBrown
3:53 that’s runable, just need a smaller kayak lol
By the way your crashing it Man let's goooo.....
What size (length) kayaks did y'all take? Do you feel that the size had a significant or noticeable impact on your trip?
I’d recommend a 12’ sit on top kayak. Specifically the Crescent CK1 or Lote Tackle. The Old town sportsman 106 and 120 are good options too
@@GatewoodBrown Thanks! I've got a Heritage Osprey 12.9 so I'm glad to hear it's a good size for the trip, though it is a bit heavier.
Can you add location info or show a map in your videos?
No other place id rather be than in texas
It’s a wonderful state! Many wonderful spots outside of its borders too
I’m really fucking high right now and this is supple
Supple vibes are our goal
First!
Haha right on! Cheers man!
Kayaks being used in this video are...
Kayaks! Not every car is a Porsche
And hard to be picky here. But as A guy who gets out Kayaking less often than he really wants, a higher mounted camera looking forward is quite valuable.
Put a shirt on
No thanks
wath a ammazzing , magic pleace
Cheers to that!
