  • Leaving our camp on the Oconee River in Georgia. Heading towards Florida to find our first camp in the state. We find a nice spot on Holmes Creek. The camp is on Florida Water Management District Land. It is a free camp with a 7 day limit. A reservation is required to camp.
    *My name is Brian. I started living full time in a self built camper van in 2014 in my hometown of San Diego, CA. I hit the road full-time in 2015 to pursue seasonal work and travel around the U.S. I find free camping on public land and enjoy photography, hiking, biking, and kayaking in nature. Join me on my adventures.
    Thanks for watching!

    You are so lucky to be in Florida right now. We had a dusting of snow last night here in Wisconsin roads where slippery. so some nice warm weather right now would feel great . Again everything looks great on your travels. It's passed Christmas by now since it's January already.. well enjoy your time in Florida and go do some hiking, kayaking would be awesome, ok enough now I'm getting really jelous... ☮️ and remember THE FOREST IS WITH YOU...

    Instead of the 10" chain saw, consider a Reciprocating Saw with a 10" blade. Doesn't need oil and is smaller. Good for trimming wood pieces.

      I disagree the Ryobi chain saw is a heck of a lot more useful saw. Not only for fire wood but to get a tree out of the road and such. All he needs now is a sharpener and the chain will last a good while.

    I have the Ryobi 40V system chain saw, and one thing I've noticed about the smaller bar saws is that the chain blades need sharpening more often than their longer bar, gas powered cousins. This is why I always keep a couple of extra chains in hand. The best thing about them is how quiet they are!
