I’ve run into this a couple times. Always when I thought I had enough to start. It’s a scary factor! Luckily there was plenty of water around if we wanted to get a little mucky. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
my favorite section hike of the Florida Trail in the Mighty Ocala National Forest!....yes it gets hot walking in the prairie glad I had lots of water.....last time I was there it was pretty noisy because the military was using the bombing range!....Whiskey creek is where I stayed it is a nice campsite...had a bear visit too!
The bombing range was loud, but entertaining to look for the jets! Very cool you camped at whiskey creek, did the bear come in the night? We didn’t see any bears on this trip
Enjoyed watching your video! It's too bad you didn't get a chance to camp at Hidden Pond we were there this past February and it's a sweet place to pitch the tent and have a nice fire even tho it was a bit crowded. There are also additional campsites on the back side of the pond accessible via the opening in the trees that opens up to the prairie. We were there during a cold spell and it got pretty chilly which was nice since it kept the bugs away. We posted a video on Hidden Pond on our channel so check it out if you're interested. Cheers!
I only hike a mile or two here and there. Usually by myself. A couple things I bring/have/use 1. A good pair of hiking boots/some rubber boots. If I strep on a pigmy/eastern rattlesnake, the boot can take the bite. Not my foot. 2. Cell phone and a whistle 3. Some might not like it. But a sidearm. I have holster for my Glock I tuck under my shirt. God forbid I ever need it.

Man I thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks! My number one concern when I'm out backpacking is water, it's no joke down here. Awesome video.

Thanks for showing the beauty of the ocala forrest. Its often hard to tell from many of the thru-hikers videos who are just smashing miles.
Thanks for watching! It’s certainly a special place 😊
That is a really old map of ONF. Updated maps are cheap and reflect the newly numbered road system.
Good to know! Thanks for watching

Hahaha there were boggy sections before you get to the water. We definitely could have gotten it in an emergency

Can u carry conceal carry without a firearm license! I heard you can now? I'm prob wrong tho lol
Or is it open carry?
@@DerekParry-bo5yd so I am in Florida. You are allowed to conceal carry w/o a permit. No open carry is allowed.
