3 Day Kayak Camping the Devils River
3 Day Kayak Camping the Devils River
I had to do a re-upload of our 3 day Devils River trip. Apparently where we stayed night 2 was not on the river gradient so be careful.
A few of the folks from W.E.T headed down to the Devil’s River located in Southwest Texas. We took I-10 about 10 miles past Kerrville to Hwy 41 West. About 1.5 to 2 hours later we made it to our outfitters, Amistad Expeditions. A week before the trip we received a generous amount of rain which made for easy paddling with basically no scraping. This river is one of the most desolate, and clear rivers in Texas with great rapids, waterfalls, and great large and small-mouth fishing. With almost 100% of the land surrounding the river being private, finding a luxury camping spot can be difficult. Two paddle-in campsites are available on the west bank of the Devils River in Val Verde County but are $5 a person. Mile 12 at 29.90534, -101.044391 and mile 20 at 29.828833, – 101.025809. All other camping must be done on the river gradient boundary or islands.

A big thanks to @tx_river_junkie for basically being the river guide.

That’s one of my dreams, to own my own kayak and to do a trip to the Devils river, before I can’t do anything at all.
Great video and awesome trip. What video recorder did you use to video this video? Looks awesome…
I may know who lost that go pro lol I will get you his you tube channel
Awesome!!!
*_works for my needs…my dog has rode with me approx 7 times and he loves it.>_**_allmy.tips/SevylorKayaks?ВТ _**_ < The kayak is very light weight and me being 110# I feel as if I glide on top of the water more than is conducive for any kind of exercise. It is very easy to use. You learn how much air to place in the chambers to work for my weight._*
You going to post a video of what was on the GoPro you found?
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Ahhhhhh why the hell are rivers and fireplaces so relaxing???
What kayaks are you using ?? Length ?? And model ?? Please ?? !!!

Nathan onks is the guy that lost one in May when they went.
The dude in the blue is like the dad of the trip 😂
Awesome trip, thanks for sharing!
So awesome! You guys did great!
That’s a great video W.E.T. crew! It seems like you guys had an awesome camping trip especially being able to kayak those rapids! We want you to share it on Campfire so you can have a chance to win a kayak, cooler, and some free publicity in our video of the month contest! Upload it here! http://campfire.outsidetv.com/home
Do you ned any kind of permits to do this? I’m trying to plan a trip for myself.
I know you guys are way above my skill level, but I was surprised at the lack of you wearing life jackets. Especially on those rapids.
Great video😍…. I bought a kayak, I’m planning a trip along with my friends. Can’t wait 😁
I’m wanting to go kayaking with my mom grandma and a friend. but buying 4 Walmart kayaks must be expensive
Headed down there in two weeks, same trek 3 days 2 nights on river. Any tips on food? overpacking vs underpacking? Got group of 5.Trying not to bring to much useless junk. take out what ya take in ya know. any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was impressed how the sit on did in the rapids than the sit in!
Excellent vid, just a suggestion. Keep all the volume levels the same, music was crazy loud. Sucks with ear phones.. A real drag having to work the volume button so much.
love the video and music looks like a good day out. you don’t get anything like that in the uk
Great video. No sure about the 80s porn music lol
In what state is Devils River?
By the way awesome video, I enjoyed every second of it.
what type of stuff does the outfitter provide and what did you guys have to bring urself?
Just curious, do you hear of people canoeing this river? We are about to move to TX and this is definitely on the to do list.
The dude in the blue is like the dad of the trip 😂
Great video, looks like an awesome trip, I just got a Ascend 128T Yak Power for Christmas and will take it on its maiden voyage this Sunday, 1-6-19.
One little editing tip if I may…
The difference in volume of talking and music is such that I had to increase volume to hear talking, then the music comes on really loud and I had to monitor the volume throughout the video. If you could keep it balanced, it would be helpful. That may be easier said than done, but just a thought.
that is such an awesome river i wish i lived there. i would love to kayak it
Отличное видео 👍👍👍
You forgot the fly rods. Great vid. Thank you.
Beautiful river!
Wow what a river. After watching this I had to Google Map the trip from my hometown. 22 hours but I think it would definitely be worth the drive.
