KAYAK CAMPING Texas – the Frio River is PARADISE

Have You Seen My Best KAYAK CAMPING and Adventure Videos?

Our crew set out on an incredible adventure to the Frio River in Concan, Texas. Flow rates were extremely high from Fall rains which made for some really fun rapids. It sure got cold though!
This is one of those bucket list rivers if you’re looking to do some kayak camping! Overnight kayak trip to a beautiful river!

    Amazing videos keep em coming!

  2. Keith Goodrum on May 12, 2020 at 3:55 pm

    Great video just like all your others. Couple of questions. Would this trip be okay for a 14ft sit in top? And as far as just pulling over and camping, is it public land or have y’all ever been run off? And last where would you recommend putting in for the deeper water? Thanks in advance for your reply and keep up the amazing videos

  4. Kenneth Wimmers on May 12, 2020 at 3:58 pm

    Another fantastic video.
    You have such a talent to make the viewer feel like we are along for the ride.
    I wish you could make more videos maybe even film.
    Hello Netflix are you watching.
    I’ll be waiting for more content.
    Be safe brother

    I’m so impressed, I’m a full on whitewater kayaker and I have a whitewater boat and all the gear, been on class III rapids and I’m so impressed in how you handled in these boats. Huge inspiration, I started the same way, in a flatwater kayak on the river, laughing and just spending time with friends. Really impressed, keep sending!

    Helmets man!!! Please be safe when doing falls

  10. Eric Torres Kayaking on May 12, 2020 at 4:10 pm

    You are on another level with Your videos. Your videos inspire & are the "standard" when it comes to Anything having to do with outdoor adventure. It’s a humbling experience, to witness your attention to detail in every frame. Your passion behind the camera translates into some of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen from a Youtuber. Keep up the great work!! I’m just starting out myself, please feel free to check out my kayaking channel. God bless!

  11. TheJack on May 12, 2020 at 4:12 pm

    Super ride. I enjoy kayaking as well. Greetings from Transylvania!

  12. CastleBravo on May 12, 2020 at 4:12 pm

    Wow! Excellent video and great adventures! From the great state of Texas here, I’m not too wildly far from the Frio, so I might just make it out there sooner than later thanks to you. Keep up the good work! You’ve earned a subscriber.

  15. Denese Weatherby on May 12, 2020 at 4:14 pm

    How do you keep your bedding and other clothes dry!

  16. Mary Lee-Anderson on May 12, 2020 at 4:14 pm

    We just bought a home on the Guadalupe River. Anxious(: thanks for the great videos(:

  17. Soraya Ronco on May 12, 2020 at 4:17 pm

    Love the artistry of your film. This is a neighboring town to my family’s hometown and I greatly appreciate how much you appreciate what a treasure it is.

  18. 2DAKE2 on May 12, 2020 at 4:18 pm

    Love this river content. Texas Rivers are amazing. Def subbing.

  22. Dennis Golub on May 12, 2020 at 4:20 pm

  23. XD_CLAPZU on May 12, 2020 at 4:22 pm

    I go to the frio River every year and have never seen the water that clear I allways go stay and bass fish and hang out

  24. Joseph Thomas on May 12, 2020 at 4:23 pm

    Awesome vid man. Any chance that is Zach Nytomt? Him and I were in the same fraternity in college. Crazy to see him.

  25. Prodigal Suns on May 12, 2020 at 4:24 pm

    Great video this looks so much fun.. I live in round rock and I’ve never kayak in my life. I need to try this👍 Subbed

  26. Delevizyon on May 12, 2020 at 4:24 pm

    How far do you guys paddle and how you go back where did you start at ?

  27. AS THE CROW FLIES HIKING on May 12, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    I have had a chance over the last few days to watching some of your videos. Awesome! I like the Wal-Mart boat in this video. Nice job. Great stuff. I will continue to watch your videos and catch up. Great stuff. ✌️

  28. William The Griffin on May 12, 2020 at 4:30 pm

    12:50 mark, the water sparkled like jewels. Having never been to Texas I am amazed at the beauty. WOW

  29. 🌟 MORNING STAR⭐️ on May 12, 2020 at 4:31 pm

    It looks rough af lol can we get the exact coordinates to the clear smooth part lol! Where can I find people to do this with lol

  30. AS THE CROW FLIES HIKING on May 12, 2020 at 4:32 pm

    Excellent video. You have a great channel. Subscribed.✌️

  31. Alfa Minte on May 12, 2020 at 4:32 pm

    How do you get back to your car?

  32. Jacob Friday on May 12, 2020 at 4:32 pm

    Can you (or someone) explain the camping situation for me? I’ve camped at Garner a ton, and I’ve always wanted to see what was further down the river, but never decided to go beyond the fencing area. Are you able to camp wherever whenever further down the river?

  33. Jack Partridge on May 12, 2020 at 4:32 pm

    This is so inspiring, man. Easiest sub I’ve ever made!

  34. Leo V on May 12, 2020 at 4:33 pm

    Outstanding video, amigo. The yellow paddle diving into the crystal clear water at the beginning of the video was an attention-getter. I was committed to staying tuned till the end. I’ve yakked the coast and local rivers and lakes, but haven’t done the Frio. I’m inspired. Thanks for sharing your amazing work.

  35. Sa_gamer3411 on May 12, 2020 at 4:34 pm

    I have been dead set on a paddle board but you sir make me want to get a yak….great job on the vid!!!!

  36. jacob ramos on May 12, 2020 at 4:34 pm

    You are killer on the fiddle man👍🏼

  37. Angelia Jackson on May 12, 2020 at 4:36 pm

    That Magers campground. I believe. They live across from Garner right past the park on the left. The Frio is Heaven on Earth. Best place in the world. I sure miss going. Thank you for the video. I’ve never kayaked in it only floated in tubes. That’s the best way. Also from Seven Bluff.lol you just said Magers crossing. I knew y’all were close. They are very dear friends of mine . My grandparents ran the campground at the seven bluff campground. It’s closed now. It’s on the right before the road.

  38. Kyle Dryden on May 12, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    Do you have locations available the start and end of this trip?

  39. Cory Whatley on May 12, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    Is this the fiddle player for shane smith? 😅

  40. Josh Jenkins on May 12, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    Hey GB, I’ve contacted some outfitters for this river to do this. I’ve had it planned for awhile now and am supposed to be leaving in the morning. BUT the outfitters are saying its illegal to camp on the river here bc its all owned land. I’ve looked at the laws but don’t want to run into any problems. Any locations you suggest camping?

  41. James Clark on May 12, 2020 at 4:39 pm

    Hey Gatewood, did you use a GoPro Hero 7 for all the footage in this or did you use any DSLR? Some of the shots look incredible. Thanks!

  42. Night Wanderer on May 12, 2020 at 4:40 pm

    Next year…🦋🦋😍😍

  43. 🌟 MORNING STAR⭐️ on May 12, 2020 at 4:42 pm

    So I’m guessing inflatable kayaks wouldn’t be a good idea?

  44. Anthony Swagna on May 12, 2020 at 4:43 pm

    The undertow at the little waterfall can be gnarly! Definitely thought he was going under!!!

  45. Denese Weatherby on May 12, 2020 at 4:43 pm

    I love seeing your smiles. Such a happy video

  46. 🌟 MORNING STAR⭐️ on May 12, 2020 at 4:44 pm

    I have adventure envy lol my friends don’t wanna do SHIT lol

  47. Michael Romack on May 12, 2020 at 4:47 pm

  48. JulianDrawsYT on May 12, 2020 at 4:49 pm

    Can’t believe that used a sun dolphin kayak for this

  49. mitchell meeker on May 12, 2020 at 4:50 pm

  50. Gilang Mutan on May 12, 2020 at 4:51 pm
