Kayak Camping Big Bend – 3 Days Living in a Canyon
Kayak Camping Big Bend – 3 Days Living in a Canyon
We spent 3 days deep in Santa Elena Canyon (Big Bend National Park). Its 1,500′ walls cascade directly into the river creating an engaging place to explore.
I started a dry bag company, Remote Designs!

How do I go do this?
Where did you launch?
Not exactly Northern Scavenger level.
Beautiful landscapes. I’m surprised the water is muddy
We’re glad that we found your channel! Your videos are absolutely amazing! We love the editing, cinematography, and especially the outstanding trip. We sell land near the rivers and we can’t wait to share your Youtube channel with our clients who are planning to go out for an adventure in the river. Thank you!
Hey Gatewood,
What percolator do you use? Could you link that?
Wow…..great canyon…..❤salam dari Indonesia
Incredible…
I wouldn’t mind going out there & enjoying the river myself. In the meantime I have thought about checking out the Devil’s river just north of Del Rio. I hear its Beautiful. & I’d like to see it for myself.

Gatewood, dude!!! This video was SO good! There is no other YouTube channel I get more excited over by far than your stuff! Keep it up, man! I feel like I go on an adventure just watching. Thanks so much for you hard editing work! Thanks for sharing your experiences and highlighting nature’s beauty!
Greeting from Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Watching this video for the 5th time, hopefully one day I can go there as well. Thanks for the great content.
Wow…awesome video! I live in Texas and have always wanted to visit that area. Just subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your content.
Thank you for posting. Many of us watching can no longer travel.
So I get to experience this trip as if I am right there with you.
This is a trip my brothers and I would’ve made, well similar. many years ago.
I wish you would put out more content. It is great quality and not enough of it is available. This could easily be a full time job for you
Have you ever considered kayaking Bankhead National Forest In Alabama? 🛶⛺️ Sipsy River
AWESOME video!!! Your videography and storytelling skills are incredible. What resources do you recommend to learn more about kayak camping for a newbie? We’d love to learn more and get out on the water but want to be mindful about it. Any recommendations for a beautiful river that’s also great to learn on? Great job!
Great
What shoes are you wearing?? Great video!
been following your content for a while and it’s very good. Keep it up!
Excellent video, I was smiling and laughing the entire time. Nothing like an adventure with buds.
That was awesome man I’m definitely using this to help plan my big bend trip I’m taking in a couple weeks. I gotta ask tho how did you get back to your car? Did you make it a loop with the first upstream part?
@gatewood brown Sooo I’ve kayaked a few times and I want to take my girlfriend who hasn’t, we stay in Texas. what’s a good starter river for her ??
What an absolute blast…. and those views. So different from my home waters. I love it.
Hey Gatewood, ! Great video! It enhanced my desire to paddle that area in the future.
I’ve got an oddball question. Chris has a Tilley hat like I had before it was lost/stolen. I LOVED that hat! Could you check with Chris and see if he would be willing to sell it?
mate, absolutely love the story telling and the visuals of this video, Ive just got back from my first paddleboard camping trip and keen to do more! New sub, keep the inspo coming!
Amazing footage! What Aqua bound paddle is that? Looks dope
Thank you for posting this.. if we have only 2 hours with our inflatable kayak to go to st. Elena, could you kindly advise which point would be best to stop/start?
When’s the next big kayaking trip can’t wait for the next upload. Keep up the good work….also any plans for remote designs shirts like the one u wore on the video? Got the 5L hip bag love it perfect.
Found your channel while home sick for two weeks. Watched everything. Love camping. Love kayaking. Haven’t had the chance to combine the two yet. Can’t wait. Thanks for all the info, pointers, how to and cool videos!!!! Started planning trips right away!
I love your videos so much!!! You are my inspiration.
Big Bend is a magical place.
Bellissima esperienza! ❣️from Italy 🇮🇹
Where can I go to find a map of public land to camp on the river I need to get boys out of the house
Thanks for sharing your trip. I was planning to do the same canyon. Where did you camp along the river in Santa Elena Canyon? Looked like a fun trip!
Matt Damon is also into adventure.
