    You need to add a folding bow saw to your kit.

    A cold front went thru there when I was camping a huge pine tree fell across the fire road a spent a couple of hours cutting it up with a small hand saw to get my way out of the forest that said it was a wonderful night in the swamp my favorite place to be!

      I love that site. Ron and I camped through a tornado. The weather was fine and calm. Then someone got a weather alert and sure enough the severe storm must have missed us by a 1/4 mile. Luckily it only lasted a few minutes. But that’s still my go to place to camp. Especially with the owls.

      So, I’m fortunate enough to call these guys my friends, and I’m happy to tell you that you are making incorrect assumptions about them, where they are from, and their experiences. That said, I’ll let them defend themselves.
      Now, I’ve been in the background in a few of these videos myself, so I’ll address your comment as it relates to me. I’d be willing to bet that I’ve lived in smaller places than you, spent more nights camping than you (unless you are homeless), caught as many fish as you, and I’ve probably hunted and killed as much game as you. I don’t use fancy gear, and don’t need much of shit to be happy in the woods. But, I’m not mad that people go out and use all different types of equipment to try to have fun in the woods, as long it doesn’t bother those around them. Overland Florida has rigged up an a/c to stay happy and comfortable. You used Miller High Life and your sister to do the same. I’m not mad at either of you, and I think you need to quit thinking that your way is somehow superior. Live and let live bud.

    I camped there in early Feb. of this year and it was awesome except for the terrible wind storm one night I was expecting to knock a tree over on me, lol. Had the campground all to myself for three nights and two days. I put my kayak in there and there are trees across the river in both directions not far away. I had another reservation to go back in late March and then COVID caused the shutdown. I'll be back sometime this fall/winter/spring but no summer camping for me, I worked out in the Florida bugs and heat for 30 years, don't need that nonsense when I'm camping, lol.

      Do not buy the version I have. The 12v socket is not regulated. So you won't get a constant 12v for the life of the battery. Meaning your device will shut off at like 60% battery because the power will drop below 12v. They corrected this problem and have a regulated plug. Now you will get a constant 12v all the way until the battery hits 0.
