Thanks for taking a minute to watch and comment. :)

Hey, Missy! It takes about 4.5 to 5hrs to paddle it and enjoy the river.

Thank you and I may have to do that soon!

Hey thanks for the positive feedback man.

Awe... yeah, I hear that a lot from my wife and son.

Hey thanks for watching @NomadSurvivalForum - we appreciate the support! Remember, The Life Survival Show is a weekly live talk/variety show that is broadcast on many platforms around the world. The best place & time to view the talk/variety program is Thursday's at 9pm on Facebook at @AaronPhillipsGetOutside So, come on over and get in on the bla bla bla!

I watched it. That was cool greg. I go often, but have never been to the blue/green boil. We know of a few others out there also!

Hey thanks for watching @eXplorer

Let's do it Moe.

I feel so much better having the SPOT Gen 3 on me when I'm out.

Oh man, we're going to have to paddle back soon and check that out. Might even leave a survival tool in there!

Aaron Phillips when you went was the island still clean? We havent been since New Years when we froze our asses off camping.

Yes, it was fairly clean. A few small pieces of paper trash, but that could've been anyone. It did look like a small fire got out of hand and burnt up the corner of the island though. Nothing too bad.

Love that little island! What a great spot for camping or even lunch!

Aaron Phillips yea we could have seen each other we used to go out every weekend and we were out on a 3 day hammock catch and cook so when I had seen the video it was cool that others to on it

And lan is my brother

Hope to see you out there next time! My wife's great grandfather donated that land to the state for all of us to enjoy! We hold that land and those waters close to our hearts.

Aaron Phillips that's awesome.

Thanks Cory! Trying to post more often these days. ;)

Thank you sir. I'm giving it my best!

Hey bud! Thanks for watching brother. We're hosting another gathering on the same river in October. We'd love to have you. I'll reach out in a couple months to see if we can get you down here.

This was our first year... and it won't be our last. We had a great time and learned a lot. Do you know of any other knap-ins like this i Florida?

Aaron Phillips i just googled it and this is what i found, Friday, February 24, 2017 to Sunday, February 26, 2017 Knapping Festival - Ochlockonee River State Park - FL. ive never been too this one but it looks like it would be fun. it does seem like there was one south of here, but can't remember. its been awhile. if my memory comes back I'll let you know. lol

Our gathering is from October 27-28 on the rive in Apopka, Florida. Check www.lifesurvival.net for more info in the near future!

It's worth your time for sure. We had a great time and even did some fishing while we were there.

I think you should've read the description before commenting, but I'll take the "ok" bud.

Ok fine,but you did talk to much for me whatever the reason whas :-)

martin van den berghe are you kind of a specialtard? :)

Aaron Phillips oop, spoke too soon, tardo number 2 here would rather drink his own piss before consuming one of the most nutrient-dense and decadent substances on the planet. durrrrrr

Hahahaha! Thanks for watching, comenting, and... the laughs. Cheers.

Thank you so muh for watching and taking a second to comment. Means the world to me.

Yes, it is active. It's in Seminole County, Florida.

It was great having you this year Brad. It wouldn't have been the same without you bud. That sharpener of your is something quite amazing. Hope you'll join us again next year!

I am thinking about it. Can we do some where bugs don't eat my feet.

It really is a cool area out there. I wish I could've seen it a century ago. Thanks for watching and commenting with something positive. If you could see the nastiness on my end, it would blow your mind. It's part of the reason I quit posting videos for a while. :/

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Pat. We're doing our best to protect these waters here in Florida. It's our life-source.

Thank you Arthur. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

If the state were to allow us to homestead on the river for a day, I would be gone in a heartbeat.

Thank you Tomas! I feel like a traitor sometimes when I take groups out on some of the other rivers here in Florida. I just guided a trip down the Rock Springs Run a couple of day ago. We saw a 6-7 foot gator and a black bear within a few hundred yards of each other! Shoot me a message on our site or one of our social media platforms next time you're heading out and maybe we'll be able to meet up out on the water some time soon. www.LifeSurvival.Net (We're also doing a one mile Wekiva River clean up tomorrow morning if you're interested.)

Hey thanks Steve! Nature does all the hard work, I just try to capture and share it. I really wish I knew someone with REAL editing skills who could put these videos together for me. lol I have days of footage that needs to be edited and I don't have the time to do it myself. Maybe some day soon...

Hey thanks for watching and taking a minute to comment Lew! This is the second time you have addressed me in a negative manner on social media. But keep it coming bud. If people aren't hating, then I'm doing something wrong. I'm not quite sure what you mean about "semi-staged situation like Naked and Afraid" and I'm quite sure you don't either... but whatever. At least I got you to watch and comment! Thanks. I sourced camp, materials, and built my Naked and Afraid shelter in less than four hours (before sunset and after insertion) for two people (which stood solid for 21 days and is still standing over a year later) in the rain forest, east of the Rio Bravo Conservation area of Belize. In fact, Melvis is still conducting tours for visitors to my camp and I've seen recent pictures. By "Bushmasters" I'm guessing you're referring to Ian? it's a bit vague to reference a company rather than an individual. (Not wise to reference people I'm connected with.) As for using "Y" shaped wood or material... I teach that same technique every time I take a group out buddy. Also, I used the same technique for this shelter and the one I built for Discovery. Thanks again. Additionally... for Naked and Afraid, I sourced camp, sustainable food, sustainable clean water, built my shelter, made fire, and started making clothes within the first 72 hours sir. Remember, at the end of the day... it's television. A story has to be created, produced, and delivered with the approval of the network. 21 days equals over 400 hours of footage and as much as viewers want to see us succeed, they want to see us suffer all the way there. You sound more like a keyboard-survivalist who is challenging me. If you really had a solid understanding of what you are describing here, you'd know there is no shelter on this planet that will keep chitras or other bugs out. (our mosquito net proved that in the episode) Let's see you show me how it's done Lew. I also noticed you don't have a single video up to compare it to. It must be easy to criticize the work of others when you have no content yourself. Don't talk about it... be about it! Period. Now, there's a challenge! Remember, in a survival situation, it's imperative to keep calm and stay focused. There's no reason to rush anything unless you are in danger. (and it's a good way to hurt yourself at the same time) You will not outrun, out smart, or out muscle nature. She will crush you if you try. Working with nature is the only way to win. Try a more positive approach next time bud. I like connecting with other good folks and rarely take the time to respond to this level of crap... but I made a special exception just for you buddy! Thanks again for commenting and watching this video. p.s. I found this message in the spam folder because you referenced another channel's video. Try not to do that in the future if you'd like me to read your comment. Best, AP

Hey thanks Mike. It was a cool hike. We only had coordinates and we found a spring we weren't looking for. Can't complain about that!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, there aren't many places to find rock or clay in Florida. I was taught that indigenous people traded for points and other hard tools. Clay is usually in pockets and tough to find. Citrus county is pretty cool man. Hit us up about a group survival adventure. We'd love to get you out there!

+Robert Cole Glad to have ya back brother.

+stepitup It depends on the size of the fish and the number caught. Thanks for watching.

+Son of a Bear Hey thanks! He had a great time. I hope it brings him closer to nature.

+Plant Gollum Ha ha ha! Great attention to detail. No, it's more of a local thing we say. We use this term when it's raining or when there's so much humidity it feels like we're in the "fishbowl." The Florida swamp is a difficult location to survive in. The heat and humidity, alone, is mind-numbing sometimes. Thanks for watching and commenting!
