  • Unprepared and conditions beyond safe limits, but we got Out There anyhow! The first overnighter on the new Gheenoe Classic 15'6" went well down in Panama City Beach after Hurricane Micheal. Took some risks but in the end everyone (me and the boat) made it home safely!

    Kayak, paddleboard, boat, it doesn't matter. That's not why I watch you. I watch you because I love to see you explore new places. I love your view that "while things seem to sometimes go wrong" you are always positive. You never know what Trip might run into and that makes it even more fun. Life is an adventure

    Gheenoes are the ultimate fishing machine in the creeks and rivers. Hate to be the ranger raccoon safety person but your a firefighter like me and I know you realize bad things happen all the time; put that PFD on, least when running and especially solo. Got people waiting on ya back home,

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea, I'm really liking the Gheenoe... There are times when I will wear the PFD. Around Florida, 95% of people probably don't wear one when boating....

    Trip, I've got over 230 springs mapped out along the Suwanee (mix of private and public land, from first magnitudes to small boils). I'm working on getting every spring in North Florida mapped out onto a public GPX file since it seems impossible to find a reliable single source map. A lot of the data come from various sources... USGS, old topo maps, etc. We did a five day Suwanee paddle, 70 miles, still didn't even get to a quarter of them! The motor will help, but even spending 30 minutes at each spring...you'd need a month of perfect weather to visit them all!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it does seem impossible to find a good map... You would need a lot of time to visit them all, but I'd be more interested in hitting the biggest ones on that trip. Let me know when you get a map together! WOUld love to check it out.

    Trip you keep doing you, and let the keyboard warriors do their thing. I’ve never watched one of your videos and thought to myself, “man he sure isn’t being safe.” Your positive disposition is entertaining and informative. You are inspiring people to do what you love. Keep it up!

    I broke down and got the nmz, with a 9.9 yammy, never looked back. Good for fishing, island camping, getting to outback areas for backpacking, literally floats in 4" of water. Hope you like URS as much as I love mine.

    Kinda skipping around from video to video when I can, but love the content, new and old. I could only wish to have a sliver of the adventures and experiences that you have had. I hope you will continue to share and have safe and fun travels. Thank you. As far as the water not being good that day, I’ll take Floridas waters on their worse days over ours. All we have in Louisiana is muddy water but, I’ve got a new 4 stroke, and I plan on starting to explore what I can , when I can.

    You were in the Spanish shanty, great spot to catch redfish. At 50-60 ft boat docks at the first dock you pass going in there. I camped the island a year ago and it was a blast, there’s some great spots !

    @269adventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You need the firebox stove for stealth camping. Look it up on Google and TH-cam, the guy that invented it or sales it has a TH-cam channel Firebox stove.
    Works great for stealth camping cause it’s small but puts out a lot of heat with small sticks and the stove folds up.

    • @TripSmith

    You should join me on the Suwannee River! I have 7 acres, 2 houses, and guide from Branford, Fl to the Santa Fe to the Ichnatucknee and then off down river hitting all springs and parks along the way. Spend the night in Suwannee, maybe fish for breakfast and then head back up the River or for a Longer Adventure, on to Steinhatchhee on the West Coast, all in our Gheenoe's! Yes of course a Florida native has a Gheenee! Reach out and let's make a plan, I'll even help shoot it to help my Suwannee River Rest & Adventures.

    • @TripSmith

    @wingzofsteel 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don't beat yourself up about the Gheenoe. I love the idea and, in fact, might have to get one for myself. Honestly, I didn't get the paddleboard stuff, but this makes sense for me. I see lots of possibilities here for your channel. Tons of Gheenoe owners who would like to join on adventures or, make the same trip on a different day.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      THanks steel, I do see a lot of upsides to the Gheenoe as well. Yea, it would be cool to get a bunch of folks together for a trip one day.... I do still enjoy a SUP... Variety is the spice of life!

  • @lifeofmike5630
    @lifeofmike5630 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Enjoy the videos bud. Look into getting a kill switch lanyard to wear around your wrist for that motor. It would be bad news if you fell out in that rough water with the motor still rolling. Stay safe.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Michael! Yea, the boat has a kill switch but I didn't realize before this trip that it was to short...... Agreed, bad news for sure. I have since put a longer one on it ;)

  • @nicstr28
    @nicstr28 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice vid. I do appreciate people that can have a good time by themselves and dont need a crowd. Seems the most amazing things happen when your by yourself. Some of most amazing days fishing come when there are no witnesses (for me anyway)
    Please please please tether the killswitch to your wrist or belt loop. You happen to fall out underway and you have zero chance of getting back in the boat and may have a very long swim (if your lucky) while your noe continues to another county.
    Be smart.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it can be amazing to enjoy the outdoors by yourself at times...
      You are absolutely correct about the kill switch. I didn't notice it before starting on this trip, but the kill switch tether was to short. On the upcoming video (few days) I've extended it so I can wear it while underway.

  • @SpeakEazy850

    Another item that would be nice to have on your trips is called a Spacekey. great for charging devices. has it's own light and caution flashing light built in to it and much more. definitely great to have when out and about and your phone or gopro dies or need to jump start your car.

  • @cavittscustoms
    @cavittscustoms 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice 16 Classic! Good to see you on one. I have a 15’4” Highsider. Not as nice as yours but very effective for Fishing smaller bays and back country marsh areas. The nice thing about Panama cities bay system, is that it’s always easy to launch and stay on the leeward shores out of heavy winds. There is always a pleasant section for a Gheenoe adventure.
    It amazes me why there are so few of us with Gheenoes in the panhandle. I imagine it’s because when you are coming from a paddle craft background, a gheenoe is actually stepping up in speed, stability and overall luxury. Where as one who has never even owned a kayak would give a big “ hell no” to the idea of a little Ghee. Lol. Man are they missing out.
    Love your stuff! I met you a long time ago at Sunjammers water sports. We need to go sight fish some reds.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks man! I really like it...... Right, I do like that about the bay down there. Yea, not sure why there aren't more of them around either but I['m thinking a few folks might be grabbing one after my videos lol Oh cool! Don't exactly remember meeting ya, but it's cool we got too!

  • @moreau212
    @moreau212 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    If we want our kids and grandkids to have access to those beautiful lakes are rivers like we do, we need to preserve them. spraying aftershave in the wild can damage the ecosystem. Some people will say that a small quantity will have no effect and it might be true but as more and more people go into the wilderness, human wastes are being spread across those places. Best exemple is mount Everest, people are climbing it and taking shits and urinating on the mountain as they climb. Today all the streams near the mountain are contaminated with human feeces and water supplies of nearby villages are now undrinkable. Food for thought.

Don’t let the naysayers get to you. I’ve more than enjoyed the progression and the changes the channel has seen. I think the gheenoe is an awesome craft and I’ve been hunting down a deal on one for a while. Keep up the great work and solid content. Your adventures have made me laugh, think, and most importantly, inspired me to get out of my own comfort zone and get out there and make some memories of my own! Thanks Trip! #webeenoutthere
