Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Lisa and I spent 24 Hours on a remote island in the middle of Lake Ouachita, Arkansas. We were surrounded by mountains and witnessed brilliant sunsets / sunrises. This was peak kayak camping!
I started a dry bag company, Remote Designs!

Great video. It looked like y’all had a really amazing time. I (Kellie) agree with Lisa, I always feel much more comfortable sleeping in the National Forest of Arkansas. Hope to kayak camp with y’all soon. We just got new kayaks!
We had a blast, many thanks to your recommendations! Now that you guys are rigged up we will have to get something on the books! Hope you guys have a good trip out west
Paint Rock Canoe & Kayak
Yay my 2 favorite kayaking channels collaborating!?! 😆
@@owlspiritreiki we definitely will one of these days! DL are a wonderful crew
What's up, Kellie!! Ever since I watched your vid on Lake Ouachita, I've wanted to get some friends together for an island paradise trip to our own private island. Can't wait to lay in a hammock and listen to some reggae while sipping something with pineapple. Gatewood Brown - I just found your channel, binging now. Ps. Your Big Bend trip looked epic! Thanks for the inspiration! Cody and Kellie, catch you on the other.
Feels good to be back kayak camping with Lisa!
That was a really cool adventure? Where did you put in at?
@@ranpat86 this was at the buckville boat ramp!
@@GatewoodBrown I live north in Missouri and after watching your video I got on Google maps and that lake has lots of little islands! Time for another Kayak adventure this upcoming season!
Thank you for sharing!
How busy are yall? The missus and I go 5 to 7 times a year. Can't keep her away from it. We are twice your age. Love your content. Spectacular filming.
My favorite kayak location in the world! Pristine water. Thanks for the superb content!
That lake is seriously stunning. I'd go back every weekend if it was closer!
Nice job yall... glad u visited US!!! Arkansas is the NATURAL state 💯❤️
Thank you! Arkansas is a wonderful state. So many natural treasures there!
Lisa: Keep your elbows lower when you paddle. It will ease your stroke; it should all move through your core. Your shoulders will love you for it. I’m in North Central Louisiana and have paddled a few lakes and bayous. Great videography and editing. I’d paddle with you guys anytime. Rock-on!
Those are good tips! I’ll pass them along to Lisa so she can paddle easier and likely enjoy the effort more
Since I found your chanel yesterday I haven't been able to stop watching your videos. Thanks for sharing, awesome work, awesome adventure and breathtaking locations. Hope I can go on adventures like yours one day ❤
Wow thank you so much for the kind words and watching all of the videos! I'd love to do a trip in cuba someday. I'm sure you all have some wonderful places to explore.
@@GatewoodBrown Yes, Cuba has some great rivers, and places you could enjoy. Actually, I was a tour guide when I lived there and used to lead some kayak tours for american and Canadian travel companies. I live in Florida, now.
lake ouachita is my go to camping spot. I am so excited to see y'all enjoying it!
I’ll be back for sure! So many places to explore on that lake
This is on my bucket list. I’ve hiked and bike packed through the Quachitas. Now time to get a kayak and make this a reality.
I think you’d really dig the kayaking aspect. Especially with how many different islands you can explore
I camped at Ouachita when I was a young teen with my family. Absolutely beautiful and wild place! Really pretty quartz crystals to be found all over the shore, great skipping rocks. Such a peaceful place! need to go back now with my family and revisit!
Island camping is the best, it's nice not having to worry about any big predators sneaking up on your camp for food. Awesome video
Now that is something I totally agree with haha. No bears or other predators would bother us out there. I think Lisa likes that too haha
Yes!!!! So glad you got to experience the beauty we have here in AR. I've been taking my paddle board out for weekend long camping adventures for last 2 years! Inspired by Dome Life, no doubt!
AR is amazing! So many places to check out. The dome Life crew do a great job of showing it off. They helped out on this trip too!
I’ve been getting a lot more Arkansas camping pushed into my algorithm since it’s been warming up, and I’m happy this one come through to me! Great job on this video! Ouachita is near and dear to us!
Hey we love to hear that! This warm weather has everyone getting stoked for spring and summer camping. Me too! Ouachita region is phenomenal
Absolutely amazing! I just put Lake Ouachita on my bucket list. Gatewood thanks for sharing.
Thanks Tom! It’s worth a visit even if only for a day paddle. So many wonderful islands to explore
I never been kayaking prior to coming across your channel a while back. I always wanted to but never pulled the trigger on it. You and your buddies truly inspired me to get my ass out there and explore every chance I get. I have 4 daughters (ages 20, 18, 16, and 15). Only 2 like kayaking and we explore our butts off while creating the most amazing memories a dad can ever hope for! I appreciate your content sir! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Wow this is one of the best comments ever! So cool that I had a part of your yearning to spend time kayaking with your daughters. Those memories will last a life time! And who knows, maybe the other 2 will come around one day haha
Best Lake to camp on! Looks like you all had a great time. Clean, clear water, fishing is good. Spent two weeks there this summer already.
I agree! I’ll be back for sure. Love it out there
Just went canoe camping for the first time with my lady this summer Minnesota. Incredibly rewarding and we're itching to give it another go. The only down side... on our way out we took some wake from an impatient speed boat at a channel crossing. Soaked our gear which was in our backcountry backpacks, including our sleeping bag which made for a rough night. Going to have to look into those dry bags for our next go, and maybe look in AR for our next cross country go.
Man sounds like a good time minus the wake! I always say that if you’re boating the gear will get wet somehow. So whatever needs to stay dry should be stashed away in a dry bag. Good thing you guys were heading in!
Camping there is a great time. I camped there several times when I was stationed at the Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville Arkansas. Love that area
You’re spot on. That area was amazing. So much forest and the lake is just beautiful. One of my favorite places to camp!
Can't wait to try that spot this summer.
You’ve got to! So easy to execute on too
The Ouachita’s are truly a gorgeous place, been there many times. You captured the beauty of this area very well. For me personally, there’s this strange mysterious energy in this area, it might have something to do with the lack of development, not much tourism, etc. Not sure, but I feel as though as long as we have skilled outdoorsy individuals (such as yourselves) treating these places right, everything will be right with the world.
Yes! I think it’s the sheer beauty combine with a lack of people that makes them so wonderful. The ouachita are special and will be remembered forever. In fact my next video is a ouchita river. You have to watch it!
@@GatewoodBrown I’ll make sure to check it out, can’t wait!
I just camped on an island last night on Lake Ouachita! Was absolutely amazing.
It’s the bees knees!
Lake Ouachita is awesome. Arkansas is full of wonderful discoveries. Keep travelling!
Amen to that! I wish I could spend more time up there but it’s a hike from Houston!
Wow, what a beautiful location. Thank you guys for sharing your adventure. Good to see Lisa back on your videos!!!!!!
Thank you victor! Glad to see you watch all the vids! Means a lot my man
Used to go there all the time when I was younger from Louisiana, it was my mom’s favorite place, she unfortunately passed away in 2021.. my sister and I are planning a trip to lay her ashes to rest upon the lake…
Thanks so much for the video.. I was also thinking of bringing my drone also.. that’s a bonus
It’s so special and seems like one of those places that stays the same with time. No development means it’s natural and will be that way forever. You have to bring your drone!
You made a lake I know well look entirely new. That was cool to see (camped on that exact island many times). It’s a different place in the winter, for sure.
Although I’m pretty certain that aerial shot at 3:08 was Pinnacle Mountain, outside Little Rock? 2+hrs away from Ouachita
That’s the ultimate compliment Daniel! I could tell the island we found was a popular place haha. No firewood around really! Regarding pinnacle, you’d be correct haha. It was too beautiful not to include
WOW, this is so far the best camp spot I have ever seen! Absolutely amazing and my dream camp spot!
This is in my top 5 spots for sure! Had the whole lake to ourselves which was wild!!
@@GatewoodBrownwhere did you launch from?
You need to check out northfork river in Arkansas I recommend petits canoe rental the 10 mile stretch of river they own is insanely beautiful
I’ll check that out on Google earth! Arkansas is full of wonderful places to paddle
So beautiful. Another great video. Thank you! Lisa is becoming a pro camper 🙂
She is! I even got her to do 2 nights in a row this summer! She’s been such a good team player
Man, I seen this and I went there a couple weeks ago. I was by myself except for Ranger, my dog. We checked out a very small area. It stormed really bad so we went up to flatside. Thanks for the video
Sorry to hear about the storm! Great place to take your dog though. Lots of beaches to swim and play around. It’s paradise up there unless a storm rolls through
So good to see a canoe in your video!
Yes! I really enjoy canoeing around. So different than kayaking but we had a taste of it in Maine. So fun!
We camp on this exact island every year! Can't wait to get back out there this August.
Haha that is awesome! We could tell it’s a popular spot because there was no firewood around. All scavenged!
@@GatewoodBrownwhat launch site has the most islands?
Man, your filming and storytelling are phenomenal
I appreciate that OF! Cheers!
You really blow my mind with the adventures you go on especially living in Houston. When I lived there I just thought it sucks because there wasn't much to do. I live out in Tahoe now and go on adventures almost every weekend. Keep doing your thing!
P.S. Gatewood, you gotta come check out Tahoe! Some of the most beautiful places in the United States
Houston isn’t exactly know for the great outdoors haha, BUT, if you’re willing to drive there’s some neat stuff within a couple hours. Tahoe looks amazing! I definitely want to go up there someday
Great drone footage. Really shows the natural beauty. It's the wet season over here in Washington. Can't wait for spring already!
Thank you so much! It’s stunning, especially with the morning dew flowing over the lake. The drone looks great but nothing can do it justice from an in person view
@@GatewoodBrown Had know idea it was so beautiful out there. Definitely is now on my list of places to visit!
Just watched this again, really appreciate the incredible shots u got of the islands by drone, nice work!
Thanks Andy! Those early wake ups to flow the drone are tough but as soon as you see the evap clouds it makes everything worth it. So fun to capture these trips!
me and my family and several of my sisters and their families are planning a kayaking trip here in the slightly cooler temps this fall time. I am in love with this place, its really a beautiful place.
More great photography as expected. Glad to see Lisa enjoying your passion.
Thank you TX! It’s been a blessing to watch her enjoy these trips. The great outdoors improve everyone’s life!
You're in my neighborhood! We kayak camp here all the time!
Oh wow I’m jealous you have this nearby! Definitely a cool spot to spend some time unwinding
That's incredible!
Thank you KG!
Underrated channel
Thanks man! Happy where it’s at but the more people these videos reach the more outdoor pursuits people will go on I think. Other people’s UA-cam videos are my primary inspiration for checking out new places haha
Camping in the Ouachita National Forest is one of my favorite! Doing this is definitely on my bucket list now!
It’s a stunning place! The ouachitas were much more pronounced than I was expecting. Rugged and beautiful
5:13 wow that sky looks stunning!
The sky was one of the best clear day sunsets I’ve seen!
That’s it! Heading to Lake Ouachita this coming spring with my new Loon 120 and Remote Designs backpack. Those islands look incredible. The water looks very clear so I’m going to plan on catching some fish to cook over my fire. Can’t wait! Thanks for another beautiful video! I was needing a lift from my winter doldrums!
Hey curt! LO is perfect for a loon 120, you’ll have a blast! I’ve also heard they have good fishing, some nice grilled fish await you! Winter is starting to grip us all. Spring can’t come soon enough!
We jacked your spot yesterday man, a boat was on the cove where y’all set up, we were on the other side, beautiful
Good! It’s such a rad place and stoked y’all got to spend some time there
Thanks Gatewood for all the great kayak/camping videos. Just wanted give you a heads up on a typo in the title. It's lake Ouachita not "Ouchita". I have misspelled this one many times. Thanks for all the time you put into these videos.
Hey I appreciate the typo! Looks like I got it right in the description, but not where it counts haha. I appreciate you watching all of the vids! Lake ouachita is an incredible place. Definitely going back!
Awesome trip!! She was prob more comfortable Bc she knows no large wild animals are wondering on the island lol. Great trip! Bindge watching your video while running at the gym.
Yes! And low key I was happy to know we wouldn’t be raided by wild animals too haha. Thanks for watching and hope you have a good run!
That island was awesome. Loved the drone footage of it.
Happy Hour is a must 😁.
A sunset over a beautiful lake……. Priceless
Awesome trip and keep the Big South Fork River in your mind. You’ll have fun😁😁
Have a great 2022 Gatewood
Hey Jason! It definitely reminded me of some eastern Kentucky lakes! Happy hour, sunset and fresh grilled food was great. And Lisa had a good time! We may have to do that big south fork this summer…I’ve been watching a ton of Kentucky paddling videos lately
Absolutely love this Lake. So glad I live very close!
It’s a special place for sure. Especially during fall when no one is there!
@@GatewoodBrown in the winter it is something else entirely. The lake is usually too big to freeze over, so you can still kayak-camp on the islands while it snows.
you guy's videos are so calming and fun I love watching them, keep it up!
Thank you Cole! Means a lot to hear those words. Stoked to have you along for the ride!
not sure why, but YT unsubbed me! I will be doing this trip from MS! just got the new Yellowfin 130. Great job man. these videos always make me crave a trip!!!
What a travesty! Haha but definitely worth the drive from MS. Arkansas is a hidden gem for sure. Cheers Jon!
Enjoyed your video and looking forward to more... Thanks for popping into Canoehound's Outdoor Adventure Show... Great to meet you
Thanks Dennis! I too look forward to more canoehound episodes. Really enjoyed the gear talk you had with Tumblehome a few months ago.
Dream drone footage conditions!
That’s the truth! I woke up and was like whoa. Get the bird up I. The air!
@@GatewoodBrown Nice! I haven’t kayak camped yet, so trying to get there early enough can be challenging for these kind of shots… I usually get midday drone shots :(
What a brilliantly filmed and narrated story.
Also, what is the double mattress you have? I have been looking for one.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! It’s a wonderful place to explore. This is the big Agnes double sleeping pad. So comfortable even with two people. Love it!
Great, thanks, I will check them out.
Glad to see you made it to the area. It's Justin from Colorado. My wife and I kayak camped there back in 2017. Definitely want to go back and paddle the Buffalo River.
Hey Justin! Very cool that you all have camped at LO! The Buffalo is on my list for sure too
So glad for the video. Been dreaming of an adventure to Lake Ouachita!!
You should totally go!! It’s amazing out there
Hi Gatewood. When you camped on the island at Ouachita where did you put in at? and how far did you have to kayak to the island??
Beautiful spot.
Totally agree!
Best quality kayak camping video I’ve seen so far good stuff! I can’t wait for my trip here soon
Also that tree transition was so good just noticed it
Thanks for the kind words my man! You’ll have a blast out on your trip
Duuuuuuude! Fantastic video! Now THAT area is on my list too! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you DG! You have to go for real. Such a stunning place
Very cool and what a great place for a trip. We travel to Arkansas often and this one is now on my list
Oh definitely check it out then! Lots of good access points and National forest to utilize. Arkansas is special!
Another great one, Gatewood! Beautiful scenery captured in a wonderful fashion. Glad Lisa enjoyed it! 👍👊
Hey SP! Thanks for the kind words my man. Lisa did great and wants to go back to Arkansas for more adventure. I’d say it’s a success!
Once again an amazing video. And you gave me a great idea to take my lady for an out of state trip. That looks beautiful! Loving the shots of your remote designs bags, by far the best bags I've ever used for sure! Thanks again for making such a killer product
Thank you Andrew! I always appreciate your steadfast support. Definitely take your lady up there. Certainly a great destination for a couples trip. Thanks for supporting remote designs! Means a lot
We love Lake Ouachita! Always a great time. As always, great video!
We love it too! Definitely going back again
I think next time we'll be spear fishing. Can't wait!
@@TheVikingSasquatch I’ve seen some videos of spear fishers there and it looks like a good time
Fantastic video as always GW. I love that lake, been there many times. But like you, I'd always wanted to island camp and just never planned the trip. This spring we will be headed out there for a long weekend for sure. Glad Lisa had fun!
Thank you for the kind words! LO was incredible and definitely a place I’ll return many times. Very cool to hear you’ve gone quite a bit over the years! Once you do the island camp let me know which one you stay on. Plenty of great options out there!
Hay I tell you man, bring som bananas, cut a gash from top to bottom on one side (pealing still on), stick chocolate pieces into the length of the gash, put the bananas on the really warm embers with the gash up (the pealing blacken but does not burn). It's ready when the chocolate has melted, eat with a spoon, it's amazing.
That actually sounds like a wonderful treat! We may have to try that out
Welcome to AR! I'm in the Fayetteville area. Let me know if you're planning a trip on the Buffalo, Kings, or Mulberry. I'd love to come out!
Hey thank you! Definitely want to explore more rivers up there eventually. You live in a rad place!
well done video as always. cannot wait to see more of yalls adventures
Thanks, David! Hope you've been well my dude. I've got several more on the way.
I think this will be my next trip. Looks like an awesome place.
Do it! Such an easy trip and so rewarding to unwind and relax
Great video. I spent half a day out on that island last summer. When it's in the 90s that island breeze is absolutely amazing.
Thanks so much Brad! I could tell many folks had stayed at the island so it’s cool to hear you were there too. Firewood was scarce! Haha I bet the summer breeze is nice. Natural AC!
Beautiful place! Thanks for sharing another great adventure vid, Gatewood!
Thanks for always watching John! The Ouachita mountains are stunning and seem to rise randomly. Not many people realize just how close to Texas they are!
Great video man, loved it!
Thanks Michael!
Nice last name too haha
thank you, looks amazing
I appreciate that! The scenery and atmosphere was so special on that trip
I think I might move out there....dang that's an incredible place. Awesome as always!
I wish it was closer to home! Arkansas always impresses me. The natural state!
@@GatewoodBrown it's closer to home for you than me hahaha. I joined my buddy's float club back in October, they're looking to do quite a bit of paddling this year! Looking forward to paddling some new places this season!
Wow this is amazing
Thank you so much!!
You shoulda brought some fishing poles. I love fishing on this lake and I would have been bream and bass fishing from the shore and catfishing when the Sun goes down.
I wish I knew enough about fishing to do so! Haha maybe next time
I have heard there is some great diving there! Awesome video man!
I heard that too! Not quite as blue as our lakes in TX but certainly very clear with a green tint
So awesome how many islands you had to choose from! I was excited to see how you picked. Awesome trip!
Thanks bruv! We got lucky and found a good spot. Not much firewood though, all the big scouts had plucked it clean lol
Looks like a great time, thanks for the info on a neat spot to check out!
Thanks PH! It was a wonderful time and the views were pretty nice too haha
I never knew! ... booking that spot !!
No need to book, just show up! All public land
@@GatewoodBrown Understood, that was me 'booking' my calendar!
Sehr tolle Aufnahmen und beeindruckende Landschaft. Schöner professioneller Film. Danke fürs zeigen. Viele Grüße ronactive
I live only one hour from the lake and you convinced me to go! Also, nice little drone shot plug for pinnacle mountain👍🏼
Man it’s a wonderful place out there! We launched from buckville and really enjoyed that side of the lake. Haha we were in Little Rock the day before and thought I could sneakily include it. Cheers!
Amazing scenery, looks like my kind of trip! Another great video Gatewood 👍
Thanks my man! You’d totally dig it, that’s for sure. Island camping is something I’ll do more of going forward
Good stuff man. My family and I spent a day out there last summer. Beautiful lake, I'd love to make a camping trip out of it one day.
Summer would be a fun time to visit for swimming and such. Definitely worth going back to camp!
I do believe that this is the most beautiful place I've seen filmed thus far....
It’s a special place for sure! Arkansas is the natural state for a reason
Adding to my 2022 trip list
It’s worth it! And pretty easy if you leave enough time to check out islands haha
You gotta come to the Current River in MO. The water is spectacular it's clear and you can see everything around you is just wonderful.... It runs class I to II...
Yes! It is on the short list for sure. Missouri looks amazing for paddling!
When you decide to come to Missouri, and decide to hit the Current the 11 point or the Jack's fork Rivers. Give a yell...
@@schambers8301 will do! We usually plan super last minute but I may need some pro tips on good entry and exit points
Is ok give a yell I got good fishing spots too
@@schambers8301 Those are handy to know because I am trash at fishing haha. Need all the help I can get
Such a dope video! Wow!!
Thanks my man! Really enjoyed this one, both the actual trip and editing
I ❤ Arkansas and Lake Ouachita.
Me too they’re so rad!
Sick video. You captured some amazing footage.
Thank you so much RW!
This came out at just the right time! I have been spending my day at work scouting lakes in North Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho for a trip to take the vapor out for an overnighter ( I mean, I have been working). Good stuff bud! Cant wait to see what the future has to offer for our channels (more yours than mine with your GOAT cinematography)
Hey right on! I’d imagine Washington has some incredible lakes that out ours to shame haha. I can’t wait to watch that video when you come out with it! If you ever want channel advice I’m happy to discuss. I appreciate the kind words too!
@@GatewoodBrown Ill have to take you up on that sometime!
Este canal é um dos melhores que já vi. Parabéns!
Yet another great video with stunning scenery. Well done!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching it!
Hey buddy how's it going. This was a great adventure you & Lisa did. The island looks so nice and peaceful and so did the water. I like how you had so many islands to choose from. This video was perfect timing cuz I am staring at eight inches of snow on the ground right now. My kids wanted me to go kayak snowing with them! I see no thank you I do not have a dry suit for that white water & it's cold too. Love those sandals you was wearing. I'm trying to get me a pair in the springtime for kayaking. My flip-flops broke on me in the river back in the summertime & I had to finish the rest of my day barefooted 👣 & I had to take my kids to like Walmart & the grocery store school was getting ready to start. It was challenging trying to get in the store and walk around the stores barefooted 👣 but was able to do it the only problem I had was a guy in Walmart laughing at me about how fat I was , how fat my toes were , & how wide my foot was. He was yelling it out real loud in the store for everybody to hear it. How was kind of embarrassed cuz this is a problem that I cannot help. When he walked by me and my son's real real slow staring at my feet I was trying to figure out why he was he staring at them like that I should had known he was going to say something about me having wide feet & being Barefooted 👣. Good video brother thank you for sharing. This helped take the snow off my mind.
8” of snow would be brutal! Stick in there buddy, Spring will be here soon. Can’t believe you did the barefoot walk around haha, hopefully you can fix that. Cheers to the new year!
@@GatewoodBrown oh yes it's brutal man & we about to get more snow 3" to 6" inches tomorrow night. I'm a little okay with it cuz at least my toes are stay warm this year with my new shoes. You're right man I can't wait until spring is here. I'm ninety-five percent of the time barefooted 👣 more than I am wearing my flip-flops. But I usually have my flip-flops on when I go into the store cuz no shoes no service. When my flip-flops broke I was no where Coast to home & Walmart do not carry any size 15 Footwear. Yeah I could fix that my wife said I just need to leave another pair of flip-flops underneath the seat so the sun does not shrink them up. Thank you buddy & cheers to the new years for you and your family too.
@@mackjenkins7721 that’s a ton of snow! Good thing you have new shoes for this year. I bet your feet are tough based on how often you free roam
@@GatewoodBrown yes I agree with you that is a lot of snow. Yes that is true my neighbor was shocked to see me having shoes on my feet and was shoveling my driveway. My neighbor usually helps my kids shovels my driveway cuz I couldn't shovel my driveway in flip-flops. I have a real good neighbor I tried to pay him for it and it will not let me pay him. Oh yes my feet are built really tough. I have been used to doing things barefooted 👣 ever since I was born. I can walk across black pavement barefooted 👣 in 90° temperatures with no problem. All five of my kids try to do that but they can't do it. The only problem that I have now is since I broke both of my feet in the truck 🚛 accident. When cold weather get to my feet they make my feet hurt really really bad that's why I had to find some shoes really fast. I still can wear flip-flops in 30° temperature . I just was on Monday wearing flip flops in 30 degree temperatures with 4" inches of snow on the ground & putting gas in my car & my feet were not cold.
You’re giving away our secrets, lol. This is a perfect spot to introduce someone to kayak camping though.
Haha my bad! Totally agree, excellent place for someone to give kayak camping a try. Short paddle and beautiful scenery. Lots of good places to camp too
Your editing is superb. Nice video!
Thank you so much!
Why didn't you make many kayak videos this last summer man pump out that content have faith this channel will blow up one day!
Man…I need more than a comment reply to explain the lack of uploads last year. There’s a valid series of reasons though. HOWEVER, I hope you’ve seen I’m dedicated to the content for 2022. The best line up of videos ever. And I say that with confidence. There are some serious edits coming down the pipeline
did a two night camp out on lake Ouachita, that place is pristine!!! we got buzzed by boaters a lot lol
Pristine is a perfect word for it! I also appreciated the lack of trash. People really take care of their outdoors in Arkansas. The boaters love a good buzz haha
Great video! If you ever head north to Michigan there are some great island spots along the au sable river that I think you would like.
Thanks my dude! I’ll definitely check that river out. I’d love to paddle up there and maybe learn a thing or two about fly fishing haha
I'm finally going to paddle that this Spring. Hopefully that site isn't taken. It's a pretty popular spot.
Have fun! Popular during summer but if you go when the weather is cold I doubt you'll be out of luck. Plus there's many islands around to visit!
Any chance of releasing another episode of outdoor archives I really enjoyed the last one.
That’s the plan! Need to get something on the books. I think one with Bennett would be very unique
Great video, We are new to the kayaking world. Found this channel and loving the information, ideas, and the scenes. New subscriber
Thank you for joining the community! Kayaks are a low key but great way to access outdoors that most won’t visit. One of the reasons we love it!
@@GatewoodBrown
We were looking to buy used. Then we found we were able to buy new for less than what they were selling used for. We have bought three new kayaks in the last week or so. Our son is 12 and is hard to motivate to do things. He has been in horse riding lessons and is starting to loose interest. Once we got him a kyak, he is all about going out he has been enjoying watching the videos also.
@@southpaw1517 that’s so awesome your son has taken a liking to kayaking. It’s something he will be able to do for the rest of his life if desired. Yeah I’ve been wondering how kayak sales will be since the big box stores ordered so much inventory. We’re the kayaks on sale or just priced well?
@@GatewoodBrown both I think, We live in cental Pennsylvania and we have a store up here called Dunhams. I dont know if yall have them around you or not. I bought my son a 8 foot Sun Dolphin Fiji sit on for $149.99, There is someone selling a used 8 foot Sun Dolphin Maui for $400. I bought a Lifetime Cruise for $239.99 and my wife got a Pelican sit on for $199.99. I can't remember the model. So with tax and everything I have about $625 in three kayaks. Oars were $29.99 and of course PFD's. I know they are possibly not great kayaks but hey, we are in the water right 😀 I figure we can always upgrade at some point. Thanks for your response.
@@southpaw1517 off the cuff those all seem to be half what they were asking last year. That’s an improvement for sure!
Nice!!
Great spot amigo!
It was -16 here yesterday lol
And actually I just got a new -37 rated sleeping bag !!
👋😎👍
Dang that is chilly! The new sleeping bag should be perfect for spring and fall. Shoot, maybe even some summer adventurers!
