I use the Crescent Ck1!

@@GatewoodBrown we just bought 2 old town sportsman’s 120. We’ve been watching your videos. So helpful!!!

@@kelliparker4037 The Sportsman 120 is great and I used it for years! We still use it on trips to bring more people along

Very cool! Yes this was at low water but I’d imagine it hasn’t changed too much since then

Yes that’s the one!

I’m happy you did too! That design is retired for good. Really enjoyed its run but on to new things to experiment with and enjoy!

Very surprising for sure!

Close! A little further west is the devils river

@GatewoodBrown Yep. I'm a SCUBA diver and got my 1st face mask and Devil's River was my first time when I was 8. Loved it BUT.... there are places in the Nueces River than are 40 and 50 ft. deep and the water is crystal clear just like Devil's River. Comal crystal clear but not very deep.

@@rustysawyers5109 yep the comal is fun to have goggles. Lots of aquatic life there. I had no clue the nueces got that deep. I kind of assumed it was 15’ max. Those depths you talk about are caves!

Thanks! I’ve mapped all those out and have been salivating at checking each one off, slowly but surely. Mulberry too!

Thanks John!

Thank you! Which part did you do? They’re all wonderful but always keen to hear where people prefer

@@GatewoodBrown Bones Crossing to just about where yall landed. Was a trip to scout the river so we could bring some Trail Life Trailmen out next week. Your bags look awesome. Keep up the good work on that.

@@DerrickPerrin nice that’s a great stretch to do. I Designed those bags specially for kayak camping in Texas and the surrounding states so I appreciate the kind words!

Thank you. I’m currently happy with my manufacturer

@@GatewoodBrown You're welcome, contact me if you need anything

We are glad to have you along for the ride!

Yes they are. The first creek we paddled is literally down stream from a glacier.

It’s stunning out there. Probably a top 5 place I’ve ever been because of how wild it is. That flood was very unfortunate and so sad

Great question! We will take two cars and leave one at the exit, driving the other with all the gear to the lunch. It can take time but it works

Edit: Apparently im not reading. My apologies.

So glad you enjoyed it! I gotta recommend the remote designs dry bags because I designed them myself haha. Linked above! But you’ll absolutely enjoy kayaking it’s the best way to get out and away from people for sure

Chill my brother! The story is 100% accurate. Danger is on a spectrum and for those that haven’t paddled this river before it should be encountered with caution. Definitely manageable with the right level of caution.

Study up on Texas navigation laws and you’ll be able to determine what is and is not the public line boundary. To be safe just stick to islands and you’ll be good! Landowners in Texas talk a big game about shooting people but they would go straight to prison for shooting someone sleeping. Self defense only applies if you’re getting attacked. So just don’t attack anyone and you’ll be good! If they call the police on you for trespassing, you’re still good because you’ll be camped on an island on public land!

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.

Take what we can get! Oregon is cool but those Clearwater rivers are expected. Not down here, they’re gems!

I totally agree!

Thank you so much and will do!

We don’t want to be taken seriously

Good question! I don’t mod any of my kayaks and try to keep them as simple as possible. I even take off the bungie chords haha

Get after it!

Thank you Schaefer!

All worth it to interact with you and others in the comments!

I’ve been to Montana/Wyoming/Idaho/Utah/Colorado/ New Mexico/California many times and those rivers can be incredible. I think this one is unexpected in a state like Oklahoma so it hits harder. Glacier you kinda expect beautiful streams haha

@@GatewoodBrown yea usually southern waters are muddy from all sediment from the north. I know here in Missouri only time we can see the bottom of a stream is if its less than like 3 feet deep.

@@zemtek420 very true!

On the way up canyon Mexico is the left side. Way down is right side

Those cabins looked brilliant! I bet it’s amazing to snowmobile, I’ll have to check out some videos about it. A whole summer up there would be rad!

Thanks for watching! Eastern OK is a hidden gem to our is staters for sure. We love it up there

You’re way off on that one

@@GatewoodBrown I'm actually not. I've lived a stone's throw from & fished/swam in the Ozark river for 30+ years. Not sure where the hell you were, or thought you were- but it wasn't the Ozarks, pal. 🤷

@@mihousebot3045 nice, doesn’t change the fact that geology and geography doesn’t agree with you.

@@GatewoodBrown It actually does. You've clearly never been anywhere near the Ozarks and it shows. 🤦

It’s retired for good! The roll top backpack will be our main backpack for the next several years but I’m considering designing up another backpack with a zipper or similar closure

Tons of trout in there! Saw a bunch but didn't have my gear

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!

Utah and Wyoming were kind of my western playground last summer. Hoping to spend more time up there again! Lisa and I just booked flights to Seattle so we will definitely be picking y'alls brain about what to do.

Congrats on the new kayak! You’re about to have a great summer of paddling that’s for sure. So many wonderful places to explore in your state

That’s very interesting!

Thank you so much for watching another one!

Respect to everyone who still sends it!

Not hatin just for a kick out of it

Thank you! Wow I bet the Frio was pretty magical back then. Less development and more flow. We like that! Glad you’ve been able to spend so much time out on the Frio for all these years. A wonderful place!

Yeah the old town sportsans are super stable. Not much tipping over in this guy!

Ripper baby! Definitely an exciting ride haha
