- Pristine mountain creeks and fall foliage, that is peak time to go car camping! We spent 1 night in the National Forest and had the whole place to ourself for kayaking, cooking, and camping.
I started a dry bag company, Remote Designs!

The 2023 season has begun! Let's start it off with a quick, relaxing edit from this fall.
Something tells me the filming and editing of this was quick by no means haha. The effort you put into these videos definitely shows, and the narration is great too!
@@taylorhickman84 thanks Taylor! Haha I was thinking this should be a quicker edit than usual, and it was to a degree, but definitely still very time intensive. Since I upload infrequently I always try to make sure each video delivers a great story and visuals. Thanks to people like you who spend time watching them!
You gotta get a float on the Buffalo River this year! and if you got time check out the Kings River not too far away. Both have those beautiful bluffs and clear water
I love to visit the Quachita National Forest. My father was born and raised there in the Winding Stairs Mountains in eastern Oklahoma. I have camped many times throughout my life. I love the streams, creeks and reservoirs, pine trees and hardwood fall colors. Should be on very outdoor enthusiasts bucket list. Thank you for the wonderful video.
No way! The eastern Oklahoma portion (and western Arkansas) have to be my favorite part. Mountains bigger than you’d dream for being in Oklahoma. The ouachita’s are quickly becoming my go to place for outdoor recreation. Texas is great but you can’t beat vast public land that’s easy to access
Awesome video!! The colors on the water & trees was beautiful. Also the 360 camera... that part of the edit was sweet!!
Thanks my dude! The colors were pretty similar to your current river trip! That 360 camera is quickly becoming a favorite tool. Such great footage!
Wow!!! Thanks for posting this video!!! Absolutely stunning beauty with the lay of that land, trees, blue creek, and rain. It was great to see a new Gatewood Brown video-I needed this fix!! Supposed to snow a little in Wichita this weekend but this video has me thinking about a short camping trip Saturday/Sunday!
I’ll have to take a small tv-can’t miss the playoff games.
All the best to you, your wife, and the entire Tejas crew!
Hey curt! Stunning is spot on! We were so shocked at the foliage and how empty the campground was. That’s the way I like it though! I generally take it easy during the holidays but now the season is in full swing for me. Lots of editing to do! Hey I’ll never judge someone for watching a game while camping. We do that all the time! Cheers curt!
One of the few CZcams channels that I actually have notifications turned on for! Been loving all your content since I watched your vid on the Sun Dolphin Aruba 8 (which motivated me to buy my first kayak) Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate that! Always cool to connect with people like you who got into kayaking from the videos. That’s so surreal! Stoked to have you watching along with the videos!
Man, those COLORS! How incredibly beautiful. But also, you absolute tease with all those duffels lol, I cant wait to buy one of them. That one with those orange handles looks so rad.
The colors were wild! It may have been the most vibrant show of foliage I’ve seen in person. We don’t really get foliage in Houston so every time we travel during fall I’m hoping for peak conditions. Yes! Duffels should be out April/May. While they won’t have the orange handles the final version is so RAD. Even better than any of those in the rack (they’re not black). Hope you’ve been well!
Gorgeous scenery! The contrast of the trees is incredible! The blue water of the creek is stunning, too. If I ever make it up that way, it's on my list of spots to check out! Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you so much for watching! Yeah those colors shocked me. Maybe the most vibrant display of fall I’ve seen in person. We don’t get much foliage in Houston so it’s a treat when we do see it. Mark it down for sure!
It truly is a beautiful State
It is! Highly underrated which I don’t mind at all haha.
Loved this! Looked super cozy despite the rain. Also those duffels 😍
Thank you! I wasn’t totally mad about the rain for that exact reason. Definitely a soothing way to wake up. Duffels inbound this spring, I’d love to send y’all one! Been loving all of your content lately, keep up the great work!
Such a beautiful edit man! I enjoyed watching this one with my lil girl. She loved the drone shots of the colorful trees. 🤙🏼
Thank you Mike! I think this is a sign that you and your girl go for a father daughter winter camp! Just go heavy on the s’mores!
The flextail is so clutch. Never blowing up a mattress pad again without it
Dude it’s the dream! I bring it everywhere now. Bought one a year ago after watching a Dan Becker video and just recently got an email from flextail offering to send me their other pumps. I was like, absolutely!
Regardless of the rain that spot was dope
Agreed! The rain threw a wrench but sometimes that’s alright. This round wasn’t catastrophic and makes for some cool clouds. I’ll take it!
Hello! Great video with beautiful city and such a nice blue river! Your wife is a trooper for roughing it with you!
FYI: I believe the oldest mountains are the Black Hills in SD (1.8b) followed by St. Francois Mtn in MO. (1.3b)
Hey, Beth! Yes such a beautiful setting for a paddle and camp, Ya know, I think I said the wrong thing. The Ouachita National Forest is the oldest forest, not mountain range. Oops! I appreciate the insight!
Glad to see Lisa back in another kayak/camping video!! I can’t wait to go kayaking again this summer!
She’s back in action! We cherish our fall trip together and this one was fun in its own way. Lots of experimenting but everything turned out great. Spring and summer need to arrive asap!
What an area. Kayaked Lake Ouachata and I've been on waters all over from East to West and think that is the best water I have ever paddled! The creeks are beautiful. Thanks for the content!
Ya know I’ll have to agree with you! The little Missouri is the most pristine river I’ve ever paddled, hands down. Just something so natural about the whole area. Thanks for watching all these years!
Great video as usual! We live right between the Ouachitas and Ozarks! Love it.
What a magnificent place to live! The ozarks are on my short list to explore but they’re just a touch far from where I live. The ouachitas have also captured my heart this past year
You inspired me to kayak & later on to backpack. Two new found loves for me. Thanks!
That’s incredible and im so thankful to be a part of that process. Kayaking and backpacking changes my life so I’m glad to hear it’s doing that to other folks as well!
The colors of the water and trees was awesome! Nice trip!
The water looked fake! I’d love to see it on a sunny day too
Colours of the trees are awesome, I often forget how pretty autumn is.
Roll on the next edit!!
All the best for the New Year btw
The colors on this trip were wild. So much variety in the trees and the blue water contrasted so heavily. Love it!
I see you're using an Old Town Sportsman. I have a NEXT. Been my favorite paddling boat I've ever had. Hope you enjoy it!
The next looks rad! The sportsman is pretty similar but a tough different. I really enjoy it!
Дякую за відео. Приємно, гарно, спокійно як завжди )
Wow! That area is stunning! You captured the beautiful colors of fall masterfully! Thanks for another great video!
Hey John! Such a sleeper of an area in a state that I didn’t expect! Tons of public land up there which is a nice change from the Texas landscape near where I live. Thanks for tuning in!
That's a beautiful and underrated area...and its surprising to see after driving through so much flat land of Texas. Great video!
I agree completely! Shockingly close to Dallas and other Oklahoma cities yet sparsely visited. I kind of like that!
This has me even more excited for May. Me and a friend are doing 52 miles on the Current river in Missouri.
That’s a dream trip right there! 5 nights 4 days? The current will be pumping in May!
@@GatewoodBrown I'm excited. You and Headwaters kayak were part of the inspiration for the trip. My buddy watched a few of your videos with me and wanted to try it. Since we are in Missouri the Current seemed like the perfect choice. The funny thing is he doesn't paddle or camp.
@@billb3374 that is perfect. You all will have a blast for sure. 54 miles is a big first trip and you may look to shorten it up to 3 days 2 nights (30 miles or so)
@@GatewoodBrown I recommended a little shorter trip but this distance encompasses the things he specifically wants to see.
Great video Brother! My wife and I pass through Oklahoma when we visit her family in Kansas. I’m still trying to convince her to camp out on the way up there 😂
Haha that’s essentially what we did in this trip except for that we stopped in Tulsa. Billy Creek is a fantastic option that’s on the way and has all the necessities and not much more. So RVs stay away but tent campers have tons of space (pavilion, toilet, the works!)
@@GatewoodBrown That sounds great! I'll have to check it out when we head up in a couple of months
Production in on point! Stoked for another kayak adventure.
Thanks Tristan! Always stoked to have you watching along with the adventures
I bought a Subaru Impreza and I'm looking forward to camping in it . Room for only one , bit tight but with the seats folded forward
it doable . Also new drone , DJI Avata awesome little drone . Sorry it rained for your trip . Love your canoe . Great video as always .
You guys have a blessed one .
You can definitely get away with camping in the Impreza. Tight for sure but doable! The avata looks cool, fpv is so unique looking. Cheers Spencer!
Duffel bag looks 🔥🥵
Ayyyy cheers to that Chuck! I’ll have some for the crew this spring
I love the black/blue remote duffel bag color shown in this vid
Thank you! Really enjoyed bringing it to market. Great for camping!
Awesome!
We just had about ~10 inches of snow... so looking forward to spring/summer!! Let's go!
Oh dang that’s a massive storm! Good thing for skiing though I suppose. That’ll also recharge the creeks and rivers come spring!
@@GatewoodBrown Oh yeah! The Saco will be nice and full this summer!
Your videos and your camping, etc… gear are getting more and more awesome!
Thanks Lonnie! Definitely fortunate to use all this sweet gear. It’s by no means necessary but fun to use!
I love the Ouachita national forest.
It may be one of my favorite places on earth. Can’t believe I just started exploring it last year. Solitude and stunning streams, that’s my kind of place.
@@GatewoodBrown I went there three times last year. I like flatside Pinnacle
@@dennisniswonger9833 never been there so I’ll have to check it out!
Cant wait to get ahold of one of those duffles!!
They are going to be rad! I’ll be sure you get one for testing out on fly trips
You always keep me hype to go out and see the nature. Hope someday i can do what you do it's really amazing keep on going.
Love to hear that! Funny enough watching my old videos makes me want to pursue the outdoors more too
Excellent color grade! As always, well timed narration. Essentially, just a great edit. Enjoyed it! AVA Brian
Thank you so much Brian! Tried to slow it down with this edit and really enjoyed how it all turned out. Spring is almost here!
Great colorful show Gatewood! You capture nature blended with entertainment so well, kudos!
Thank you Levvy! The color was shocking for sure. Fortunately the timing was perfect for foliage! Usually it’s dwindling by thanksgiving but not this year!
Headed that way in March!! Solid info!! Love little adventures!!
Whoa that’s awesome! Which part?
That opening shot! 🤩🤩🤩
Such a unique water color!
Thanks, just the outdoor beauty I needed to see on a snowy Wisconsin January morning. Keep up the beautiful videos.
I’m sure the snowy mornings are nice but it’s fun to think about warmer days outside on the river!
Very special video Gatewood thanks for your effort in bringing it to us. I need to get my 1977 wooden Old Towne back on the water
Thanks for watching Adam! I bet that wooden old town looks amazing, and paddles well too. Spring definitely needs to come quick!
Bro those colors are gorgeous! Thanks for showing another cool spot to check out. Loved it
The colors were brilliant! Definitely a surprise and not something we expected. I’ll take it! Definitely worth adding this place to the list and especially if flows were high
Fantastic (as anticipated).
Thanks THT! Always stoked to have you along. As a Texan I’m always shocked with the terrain so close to our borders
One of my favorite places to camp! Those duffles are lookin sick! Can’t wait for them to come available 😁
Can’t believe I’ve just now stumbled across the mountains of Oklahoma. So close to home and tons of public land. Duffels inbound this spring!
Love how those duffels are shaping up look awesome!!
Hey Steve! Yessir they’re going to be awesome. Just submitted the final instruction to the manufacturer. Should have them by May!
@@GatewoodBrown awesome!! Looking forward to a cooler from you one day too
@@stevestory8483 I’m hoping for a soft cooler in 2024! Something around 20L
@@GatewoodBrown what soft cooler have you found that is durable? My good friend needs one now
That looks amazing. I might have to get some guys together to kayak camp that area.
You should! Kind of up your way. Still a long drive haha but could be worth it! The ozarks are similar and several hours closer I’d your buddies ball at the drive time
Sweet vid man! And that bag!! 😮💨
Thanks my man! Yeah stoked to bring the duffels to market
That Remote Designs Duffel is looking good!👀
Thanks Bobby! Coming soon…
Epic video as always! That looks like a sweet place to explore.
Thanks my man! I always wonder why I don’t spend more time there. This is in @OzarkOverlandAdventure backyard.
DUDE I LOVE THE DUFFEL! CAN'T WAIT TO GET ONE!
Duffels inbound this spring my man!
Yess, so excited for a new video from you! Happy new year and hope all is well ❤🙏
Thanks for the kind words! Great to see the excitement around a new upload. Y’all make it so much fun!
@@GatewoodBrown Yes absolutely! 😝
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much!
Beautiful surroundings
Totally agree! We were shocked there was so much foliage that late in the season. The ouachitas create micro climates in the valleys leading to wild displays of color.
Have you ever been to Tennessee kayaking?
@@tobygoodman1179 not yet but I’d love to tour the smokies and paddle. Tennessee is incredible!
So beautiful, Oklahoma's best kept secret!
It has to be! Public land just hits a little dofferent
Love your editing skills man!
Thanks my man!
Great editing and content. You deserve more subscribers.
Thanks VP! Hey they may come at some point but for now just having fun with the community we’ve built so far. I’m still blow away this many people tune into the videos!
That is one fancy ass fire place
I’m all here for it!
Dude! Great content. Do more car camping vids. Love seeing your gear.
Thanks Daniel! The next big video is going to be a car camping / kayaking road trip through Colorado so it should be right up your alley! I love car camping so its cool to see it supported by the community. I'd like to include more of it!
Love your production value and your awesome enthusiasm!
Thanks Chris! It’s fun to make these videos and so rewarding to interact in the comments. Means a lot to have your kind words!
@@GatewoodBrown Gives me inspiration for my own outings around the Southeast (plus a planned trip to the Boundary Waters this fall)!
We are heading out today for a day trip in the Ouachita mountains. Never really explored the Oklahoma side. It should be an interesting day. Great video brother. 👊🏼
Have fun Kris! The Oklahoma side is hard to differentiate from the AR side in this 'main section'. Both scarcely populated and stunning! Definitely eager to spend more time up there.
Absolutely stunning footage!!
Thank you! The colors were brilliant even with the sun hidden
I see some new product!
Haha a little field testing for this springs release!
That water was INSANE! 😍 Oklahoma has so many gems and this spot is 100% going on the list for our next trip up there!
Yes! You all were spot on that Oklahoma has some crazy places. Your video covering the scenic byway made me wish we had more time to drive it! Billy Creek would be perfect for y’all’s setup
Beautiful!! Loved it, thanks so much for putting it together
I appreciate you watching it! Had fun on this pne
Really beautifully shot.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful! 👏👏👏👍
Thank you! Took some notes from your videos. Eager to watch your new releases!
Love it ❤
Thank you!
Love you videos
Thank you victor!! I appreciate you watching them
Small detail. The High Uinta mountain range spans East/West as well. And it's HUGE
I’m glad you pointed it out! I was watching Wild Flys video when he pointed that out and I was intrigued! My thinking was that the Unitas’ valleys are north/south whereas the Ouachita are strictly east and west. Valleys and peaks. The uinta are unique too though which is rad! Regardless they’re both generating wild landscapes and truth be told I’d love to spend some time in the uinta
Im still waiting to beta test that druffel lol. Beautiful video my brother.
I don’t have any in their final form yet! Targeting April/May Houston delivery
@@GatewoodBrown keep me posted
@@BlueEffigy April/May should be when they arrive
Another great video keep up the good work
Thank you 129! Stoked to have you a long for the ride. Cheers!
@@GatewoodBrown I will be here can't wait for some more awesome videos
@@sealteam1292 thanks man. I’ve got 2 rad trips in the editing bay right now and I can’t wait to release those when they are ready
@@GatewoodBrown alrighty I am looking forward to them
Awesome video sir.
Thanks Ernst! I appreciate ya stopping by
I didn’t see that gas fireplace in your gear list. Also new canoe.
Looks like I need to add it! Acquired the fireplace over summer. This is the same solo 119 I’ve had for a couple years! It comes out for specific use cases where there won’t be rapids. Such a great boat to throw and go
Loved you using cast iron. Find an old griswold, Wagner or bsr.
I'll have to check those out. This was a Lodge cast iron that is sold many places
Hey, great video! Wishing I was on that amazing blue river...You should check out Luno air mattresses for car camping...they are life changing!
Also! Loving my Remote Designs bags...when can we expect to see the duffels hit your site?! Stoked for those.
I wish we spent more time on that water, how cool! Ya know I’ve seen the luno air mattresses but have a hard time buying another air mattress when I have so many camp ones. However, it would be nice to have some that fits the grand Cherokee perfectly. Might have to pull the trigger!
Duffels should arrive April/May! I’ll launch them as soon as they get to me
Finally! Lol jk but I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I’m glad Lisa got to get a short paddle in as well
Haha I try to upload as much as I can handle so sometimes they are far and few between. This year will be similar since my schedule is roughly the same. Massive edits to be released though. I think you’ll dig it! Yeah we both would’ve like to paddle more but time and storms cut it short. Oh well!
Not sure I can afford sticking with you as a subscriber. Gotta get me one of those Ignic Fire Cans! And of course a couple of those Remote Design Duffles once available.
Ha! I will so it’s an advantage getting to test gear but I still have to control my spending on gear! Duffels should be rad!!
Thanks for another inspiring video, Gatewood! My wife and I re-watched several of them last night and can't wait to camp again! What light bar did you use here?
Wow that’s awesome thank you to the Duncan family for that! Really enjoy having y’all along for the ride. The light bar was one I found on Amazon but really enjoy it. Just search on Amazon the following:
ASOKO LED Under Cabinet Lighting USB Plug-in, Dimmable, 3 Color Changing( 2700K, 4000K,6000K), 14.5 in, Under Counter Lights for Kitchen, Shelf, Cupboard, Under Desk Light, Monitor USB Light Bar
@GatewoodBrown We now have that light bar heading our way Saturday! Thanks for EVERYTHING! Earlier this week, we received our 2 garage sale tan hip packs and got them in our hand today after returning from a fishing trip, and we're super pumped!!!!! 🤙
I never get tired of your cinematography. Awesome trip. Did you update your drone?
Impressive that you noticed! I picked up the mavic 3 pro and this was the first video I released with it in action. The step up in quality is massive. These were even tough lighting conditions so I’m stoked to show it off with some proper lighting.
@@GatewoodBrown Nice! I upgraded from the Mavic Air to the 2S... it was incredible amount of difference you can get. I can see how much more I'd get from a 3 pro!
LFG!!! 🤘🤘
Yee yee! LFG INDEED!
@@GatewoodBrown Brodieee!!! This was 🔥🔥🔥
Good stuff I love your videos. The trees were amazing. What model canoe is that that you’re using?
Thanks Alan! This was the old town solo discovery 119. It’s a brilliant craft! Love it for calm water
Seems like the gunnels would stay low to the water and not be affected by wind as much
@@alanfields3356 This is true! Which also makes you need to take into account waves coming into the boat. On a windy day on an open water lake I'd leave this one at home for a kayak that can take waves.
I have been a fellow H-Town subscriber of your channel for the last few years and I love the drone shots you get. I have a DJI Drone as well the mini but the range is terrible on it what drone do you use and how do achieve such an excellent range signal? Thanks and would also love to know if you are bringing back the zipper backpack bought one for myself and wanted to get an additional one for packing kids stuff.
H town represent! I’ve used a mavic 2 pro mostly but just upgraded to the mavic 3 classic. Wow, the 3 is outstanding and such a massive step up in quality. Highly recommend! Zippered backpacks should be out in 2024
@@GatewoodBrown Gracias, and look forward to snagging another backpack next year.
@@selenarodriguez9538 I appreciate that a bunch! Helps to fuel these trips in a big way. Thank you!
I really love your videos...and hopefully you take this a compliment...but I wish to your video were longer there Soo good but Soo short.
That’s the ultimate compliment for sure! And ya know I did my best to let this one run as long as possible as you may be able to tell with the clip lengths. I do have two long videos in the works!
@@GatewoodBrown awesome looking forward to them...I got a massive kayaking trip for 3 week around Victoria Australia ..around the lake n beaches...and these videos give extra inspiration for this trip coming.
Whoa that’ll be amazing! Australia is stunnin and definitely a place I’d like to visit
What canoe you paddling?
This is the solo discovery 119 by old town! Super easy to throw and go
What PFD are you using?
The astral ringo! Absolutely love it
@@GatewoodBrown bet it’s either that or I buy this vintage Patagonia pfd for the drip
🤙
Cheers Robert!
Nice video.
Check out car camping tents & overland vehicle awnings.
Yes! I’ve been looking for an awning which would’ve been so helpful for this trip. Luckily the pavilion was close but for dinner and a fire
Bro I love your channel but why the propane jawn?
Thanks! A few reasons, the rain was going to prevent having a fire out in the open so the propane worked great under a pavilion. I also enjoy using cool gear and this definitely falls under that. I've used this propane fire in the past and it works great for camping trips where burn bans or fire limitations are present!
Ok. I see your point. I'm just a more natural kind of guy. I love a good fire while out kayak camping. Cheers from the Philly suburbs! Keep up the good work my dude!
@@jlansdale536 Oh no doubt! Can't beat a natural fire which is what we always do in the river bed. But this is a good tool for car camping
Gonna have to research this one. Thank you.
@@jlansdale536 Definitely worth consideration! I also use it at home since I dont have a fire pit or fireplace in the house. Comes in handy and you don't smell like smoke after haha
Glamper...
By what definition?
@@GatewoodBrown didn't expect a reply from the actual uploader, awesome video. Mad props. But just using all these inflatables in your Jeep, it felt like you might as well have had an RV. Maybe I'm just more of a fan of the videos where people rough it a little more. Hence you're a glamper not a camper. (I feel like a dick, sorry) the video is amazing and I am subscribed
That’s all good man! Everyone is entitled to their own perspective about something. I do reply to every comment though, which is unlike a lot of creators. You may like my other videos if you prefer roughing it. This was just a fun trip with my wife and tried something new out
