Shane Smith and the Saints are one of the best bands to see live!

I have to agree! Definitely been cool to see those guys come up. Proud of them and honestly the only band I watch live haha

@@GatewoodBrown I’m a big Texas country fan, those guys definitely kill it! Enjoy watching your vids. Kayaking and camping on the river looks beyond fun!

Awesome recap!!🎉

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thanks my man!!

[@tomcaldwell5750]

Thanks for the recap. Video recap came out fantastic.

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thanks Tom! This was definitely one of the most fun videos to edit. Dragging in clips from previous and new edits gets me excited for what’s to come and appreciative of the trips already posted

[@mackjenkins7721]

Hello buddy how's it going. Happy new year to you and your family. I hope you enjoyed your holiday with your family and friends. 2022 was a good year for you. I hope 2023 will be better for you. Your video are always good & I thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for me to watch. I looking forward to seeing your videos of 2023. I hope you enjoyed your holiday.

[@GatewoodBrown]

Hey, Mack! Happy NYE to you and your crew. Hope 2023 will be gangbusters for the both of us!

[@johnwurm9620]

Hope to see many more kayaking vids in 2023! Always enjoy seeing the beautiful places you adventure!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Lots of kayaking in 2023! Some road-trips to do we can discover new places to paddle. I think you’ll dig them!

[@rubiatoroutdoors]

Some of those places are just amazing! You are going to make people go buy kayaks haha

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thanks man! I was watching this thinking, man I'd go buy a kayak if I didn't have 3 already! lol

[@redw0lf848]

thats alot of living in one year! congrats on a successful 2022!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Totally agree! Especially since most of my time is sitting at a desk in an office building haha. Shows you can still do a lot, and I don’t even get out nearly as much as a lot of outdoorsman

[@redw0lf848]

@@GatewoodBrown not enough hours in a day, you do what you do and you do it great. I can only imagine its a plateful between this and real life. Keep doing what you do, its your life! We all enjoy the content when it comes.

[@DRONIXAR]

Amazing year for kayaking

[@GatewoodBrown]

Agreed! Got to visit some amazing places, each with their own uniqueness.

[@Tyler_Bartlett]

Great video and editing! You have some serious skills with the drone as well! Every one of the aerial shots was extremely satisfying

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thanks a ton! Definitely enjoy droning and capturing the environment from that perspective. Cheers!

[@TheOutdoorSeeker]

Cool RECAP! I wish you a new year full of adventures!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thank you TOS! I wish you a new year of adventure too!

[@BackroadFreedom]

Wow!! Looked like you had a great year my friend! Hope you’re doing well and Happy New Year! Have a wonderful day my friend.

[@GatewoodBrown]

A good year to reflect on for sure! Doing well and excited for the future. Have a wonderful year yourself!

[@WildLife_Perspective]

Looked like a great year man!

[@GatewoodBrown]

It was! Ups and downs but mostly ups!

[@andrewthompson9072]

Looking forward to seeing what you get yourself into next. I'll be definitely doing more of what I love to do 🤙

[@GatewoodBrown]

Cheers my dude! Once this winter departs no doubt you’ll be tearing it up all spring summer and fall!

[@TxHornyToad]

I was wondering “what happened to Gatewood?” This video tells me what happened in 2022. Can’t wait for his 2023 adventures.

[@GatewoodBrown]

Just about to start uploading again!! I’ve got 3 trips filmed and editing them all up now. So stoked to get them out!

[@missUn1verse81]

Happy New Year to you and yours! Love your kayak videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@GatewoodBrown]

Happy new years! Thank you so much for watching them

[@Frozty]

2022 was awesome, and somehow I'm like weirdly confident that 2023 is gonna be even better. I'm seein tons of shots here that haven't been in their own video yet, so I'm very much looking forward to those! lol. Your videos are always so inspiring to get out there myself with my friends. Happy new year, Gatewood!

[@GatewoodBrown]

I totally agree man! 2022 was great but so many things to look forward to in 23. You nailed it, lots of footage from trips that’ll be coming out this winter and spring!

[@GatewoodBrown]

3 trips to be exact

[@sealteam1292]

Can't wait for 2023 and sometime this year would you come to Missouri and do the gasconade river

[@GatewoodBrown]

Same here! 2023 will be great for sure. No plans for Missouri this year but never say never! I looked up the gasconade and it seems like a great place to paddle

[@sealteam1292]

@@GatewoodBrown it is nice I paddle it at least 1once a year with some friends from church and we have a great time everytime

[@teamturner3933]

Stoked to watch some rad adventures! Yewww 🤙🏾

[@GatewoodBrown]

Cheers to that!

[@anthonycontrer]

Such a dope recap. Excited for 2023. I’m sending this to my husband and convincing him 2023 should be spent outdoors.

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thank you! The outdoors are a fun place to spend time. I don’t get out as much as I like to but it’s cool to look back on the several trips we did

[@texastalk86]

Always a pleasure watching your videos brother

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thank you TT! It’s awesome that you’d take the time watch them

[@tylerfromtexas6556]

That trip we were on was awesome! I’m dying to see the whole thing once it’s uploaded, on top of everything else you release this year. Safe travels!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Heck yeah Tyler! So much fun paddling with you out on the devils. Can’t wait to finalize the devils video and show it to everyone

[@justthebeginning94]

Getting me excited for summer!! 😁😁

[@GatewoodBrown]

It’s here! Summer is the best

[@FrankLadd]

Looks like you had a great year. Thanks for sharing it! And thanks for all the other videos!

[@GatewoodBrown]

That's the truth!

[@jasonjohnson3164]

2023 is the year I'm going to start uploading my adventures, mark my words and hold me to it! Awesome adventures Gatewood and look forward to what the new year brings! Cheers! 🍻

[@GatewoodBrown]

Hey Jason! I’ll hold you to it for sure. Can’t wait to watch the edits! Truth be told I did this video for myself to recap what I deem a successful year. Making videos is so worth it when you watch them later!

[@jasonjohnson3164]

@@GatewoodBrown pulled the plug on a subscription to Epidemic Sound so I kinda have to start editing lol

so rad! i feel like this could have been an hour long

[@GatewoodBrown]

That would be a lot of action! Haha

[@CalledCollectiveMedia]

This is awesome!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thanks my dude! Hoping the 2023 recap video has some SMB in the ozarks!

[@psalm-hd6mw]

You should make your channel an adventure channel

[@GatewoodBrown]

That sounds like fun! As in all around adventure or how do you mean? Any specific activity?

[@psalm-hd6mw]

@@GatewoodBrown in your recap you hike, fish, camp, travel. With your video editing skills I’ll watch anything you put out. It would possibly open doors for more sponsors. I am friends with the guy that runs Gideontactical and he went from part time to full time doing KZbin by expanding his content

[@migsy0]

Awesome stuff dude! You should come to WV and kayak if you get the chance!

[@GatewoodBrown]

I'd love to do WV someday! An Appalachian tour would be fun one summer.

[@OptingForTheOutdoors]

Awesome! Being in the NE I have been longing for summer to return Got ~6 months or so 😢

[@GatewoodBrown]

Dang! Well hopefully you get some warm spring days that help move things along. I’d imagine April is about as early as you can brave it haha. You can always fly down south for a quick taste too!

[@OptingForTheOutdoors]

@@GatewoodBrown Yeah, the trick up here is to enjoy doing things in the winter (just wish it was kayaking I could enjoy) 😂

[@GatewoodBrown]

@@OptingForTheOutdoors good point! I’m a huge fan of skiing so as long as there are slopes and snow I can have fun during winter. However, my heart is with kayaking for sure! Luckily a winter time activity down here too

[@garagesaws5729]

Just found you on KZbin. Hoping to nab a back back when they are in stock. ❤️

[@GatewoodBrown]

Thank you so much! Roll top backpacks arrive in June!

[@pellabandgeek]

I see you have a Crescent instead of the Sportsman- future video perhaps?

[@GatewoodBrown]

I bought the crescent for a summer road trip and have since sold it! You’ll see it in an upcoming couple videos but that’s it. The sportsman is still my trusty steed!

[@pellabandgeek]

@@GatewoodBrown have you ever been tempted to get a different kayak to replace the sportsman?

[@GatewoodBrown]

@@pellabandgeek great question! Kayaking is my hobby so I’m always intrigued by other kayaks. It’s just a matter of space in my garage and how many can I actually use at once. I’ve been very happy with the sportsman’s and haven’t wanted to sell my 120 to make space for another

[@pellabandgeek]

@@GatewoodBrown kayaking is my hobby too, but I have less opportunity in northern Indiana. Do you think anyone will ever make a camping specific kayak?

[@MarkStein-o6q]

Hi Gatewood, love the music set for this video. Could you please tell me who it is and the name of the song. Many thanks.

[@tonycureington4440]

How do you locate a place to park for these kayak adventures? I watched one where you said "I hope my car is still there", just wondering if you have some tips on parking too?

[@GatewoodBrown]

Road crossings and parks! I also don’t leave anything in them but the ‘hope it’s still there’ comment is more about someone stealing it or bashing in a window. Probably an unfounded fear but humans will do human things lol

[@17fireinthesky]

I recognized Bennett from your videos prior to realizing he was with Shane Smith & The Saints

[@GatewoodBrown]

Haha that is awesome! usually it’s the other way around. Need to get him back on some trips! He’s a busy guy these days with touring and young kids

[@ndanieltx]

Need some water in 2023 please.

[@GatewoodBrown]

Yes we do!
