A Gheenoe is a canoe like micro skiff, this one is only 13' with a 9.9hp outboard. Plenty enough for solo camping and exploring small creeks and springs. Even if the weather does look a little nasty as you head out! #gheenoe #customgheenoe #cressigear #floridasprings #solocamping #hammockcamping

...if you sit down in the springs and be quiet, you can almost hear 'The Choir' that's a very special area, sacred ground
I purchased a 13' Gheenoe for $400, a trailer for $200 and was given a 7.5 hp motor. Love the boat!
what year? sounds like a great deal
@@chronicawareness9986 it's an 88. The trailer is an older one also. Both are in great shape. Runs very well.
that still a good deal. mine is an 88 same with the trailer and it has some seats on it. it was about $1000 after i sell the motor that came on it.
I need to find a deal like that.
So funny how you just shake stuff off and figure it out like forgetting the straps and then finding them again. Your optimism is contagious brother!
Hey, that's the only way to live brother!
Ee-con-F-eye-na not feena, ha. I grew up on Deerpoint and Econfina, absolutely love it! Thanks for the video. took me back
“They taste a little rotten” while he continues eating all the shrimp. Trip, you crack me up!
Lol I was hoping they just tasted that way 😂😂😂
@@TripSmith how are you doing today. Cant wait to watch the vid
The ole dreaded ball slap
Dang right..... No fun lol
Great video trip, brother keep up the good work, watching your videos help me get through the rough days. Best Outdoor TH-cam channel.
Thanks Carlos! Glad you enjoy it so much and I'm happy to hear the content has helped ya out a bit.
Awesome trip! That's a perfect little Gheenoe for spring hopping and exploring back waters in our area. Ive been using a small clip on rechargeable fan in my hammock this summer. I clip it to my ridge line and it works miracles in my netted hammock.
It sure was Dirk! I have a fan to put up in the hammock too. Actually had it with me on this trip, it just didn't get warm enough for it.
Took my paddle board out there with some buddies and camped at the same spring because of this video, it was awesome. we did get rained on too
I have floated that creek many times and I love it.
Love that creek literally grew up on it. Knew exactly where you where just from the cover photo. Keep making the great videos👍🏻
Love your vids, Trip. You always show the bad and the ugly with the good and beautiful. Keep it real!
Any luck contacting your home world with that hat? Lmk cuz I need to find mine too. :)
Thanks KN! Oh yea, always keeping it real!
Love the video trip! Already have my next florida trip planned.
I know you're having a blast, I used to camp the rivers of north Florida a week at a time using a light weight 12' aluminum Jon boat with a 7hp mercury me and that little rig have been to places that aren't on any maps, I discovered a few new springs and mark them on a map. Those were to me the adventure of a lifetime. Keep on keeping on,and hammer down. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
OH yea, having a blast for sure. I'll keep the camera rolling, thanks for tuning in James.
Hey trip been watch you for a bit now just wanted to say thank for inspiring me to get back outdoors and do stuff I love . I got a isup ( body glove raptor+) and I was able to get my fiancé into kayaking . Not big adventures yet but got some overnighters in mind. Just want to say thank man I love the channel and all you do. God bless stay safe and until the next adventure see you out there .
You are very welcome, thanks for watching! Hope you get plenty of adventures under your belt!
Woah at that hat! I love it! Gotta get/make one of those for myself!
Dang right!
Man all the cool views you got there, and great water for swimming. And i am here in Wales with my SUP jealous about everything but the mosquitoes :)
Another great video, thanks!
Haha! Yea the mosquitos are aggravating for sure....
LOVE YOUR CONTENT TRIP SMITH 👍👌
I would buy one of your hats for my husband. Thanks for the laughs we love to watch ya.
That's good to hear! I need to get some together.....
a coworker and I just paddled that stretch a few weeks ago. its a great time. i live just north of there in Sunny Hills.
Hey Trip, I now own this boat from your video. Such a great little boat.
Trip, as a small TH-cam channel creator (compared to yours) myself, I
love your content and the way you narrate each adventure! I do micro adventures and love to see your macro adventures! Getting in the water in potential gator water.... Nope I'd stick with putting the camera under the water and check footage later! Coming late to the game on
your channel I'm always looking for ones I haven't seen! Keep making
this great content!
Glad you made it! It looked rough though - my heart sank when you couldn't get the motor started!! LOL
Haha, always an adventure!
Trip, great video and this is one of my favorites! Just curious if you had any major navigation challenges running Econfina with an outboard? My wife and I like to spring hop/explore and will be down in the area with our skiff in a few weeks. Thanks for the great entertainment and content you provide!
Fun adventure! I did buy some Earth Runners a while ago, having liked yours a lot, but they just didn't work the shape of my foot. I do have, however, the same hat you wear thanks to one of your video links and love it! I wear it for most of my own outdoor adventures. (Not the big crazy umbrella hat 🙃). So sad to see that gloppy green algae in our springs.
Fun for sure! Aw really??? Sometimes you have to adjust the straps to get them to fit just right. It can be a process but it really can make a big difference. I'd encourage your to try again really. Oh yea, those hats are the best I've found, glad you like them. I'm not a fan of the algae either....
Been fishing out of a 13 gheenoe for 15+ years. Great boat!
They sure are!
If you’ve been using one that long, is that 412lb capacity real? If you go just 20 or so lbs over are you in trouble? Just thinking of getting one and if I catch a few catfish or what ever is it gonna mess me up if it’s myself and a friend.
@@TismFishing I’ve had close to 600lbs in it. I don’t recommend it but it handled it.
Trip I Actually ate The same Quail eggs about a month ago they were Super Good 👍🏼 Love Your Videos Brother 🤘🏽Stoked with you on every Adventure Yewwwwwwwww...
That hat umbrella reminds me of one of the characters from the movie Big Trouble in Little China!
I Love watching crazy daredevils like Trip as long as I am not in the boat 🤣
Internet went out again at the tail end Enjoyed it Trip
Laughin right along with this guy on his trip. Thank you youtube algorithm!
That's awesome to hear Tory! Glad you found me! Plenty more where this came from ;)
I signed up for skill share using your link. I have a very small youtube channel. Hopefully I can step my game up and learn more about creating better videos. Thanks for all you do.
I have to put my cooler with ice and 90 lbs of dumbbells in the bow of my 13 ft Gheenoe with 9.9 to keep it from porpoising
Man awesome boat just got a 2021 LT25 fully loaded Yamaha 25 4 stroke love gheenoes have a pic of me as a baby in the live well of one lol
Oh NICE!!!!! I'd really like to have on of those to do certain trips in....
I have a Gheenoe w/ 9.9 Yammy on it and mine has a center console and steering wheel ,, I agree that i need a jackplate on my Gheenoe too it would def run alot shallower if i could raise the motor up ,,,
Man! Charlie Robison brings back the memories brother! So I'll see you in Austin!
If I ever get out that way!!!!
I really miss my Gheenoe 13'
JUST BEFORE SITTING ON THE THRONE DO YOU EVER SAY.... TRIP S&%$!!! HAHA!
LOL No, but I'll be thinking it next time.....
@@TripSmith ... haha! I was hoping you didnt take that as an insult! Truth is i love your demeanor and not to mention videos!!
That looked like fun trip !! I looked at gheenoes but can start to get pricey ! While your swimming in that water I was like hmmm now not good time to tell you about the diver who just got bit but got lucky and got gator to let go ! But still messed him up pretty bad ! Amazing footage ! I’m gonna try to come to rockadock this year ! Make one of those hats and I’ll buy it I’m gonna go get one of those things hahaha I thought you maybe got it off the wish app,l Have fun, loving this stuff
Fun for sure! Yea, I guess they can be considered pricey. But compared to other skiffs they are pretty darn affordable. Gators were certainly on my mind to be honest. Glad I didn't see one. I'll see what I can do about the hats and hope to see you at RockaDock!!!!!
I was wondering about gators?
The food you eat! Lol.
This episode of survival fear factor….
Love the vid
Glad to hear that!
Waiting....Have a 15 ft Scanoe , and 2 yaks, 1 jon, and 4 other canoes but a Gheenoe may me my next purchase. 3 of my best friend have them😂
i just started watching greys anatomy and Trip i swear you look like denny duquette from the series... cheers
Happy to know you stay close to The Father Trip
Yes sir!
Try Hempz Lotion for no-see um’s. Works great and smells great.
My OCD is kickin in.....im mad we didn't find out what was in the bag in the hammock Trip.....i need to know lol...oh and those earth runners worth every penny jack.....🤙
Haha! They were bungee tie outs to stake to the ground if you want to hold the hammock open ;) Dang right they are!
True adventure
Oh yea Tim!
@@TripSmith I fish a lot in Everglades with my gheenoe. You taught me a lot so far, like using cargo tie downs for straps for my hammock, only because I’m fat. Looking forward to 21 and 22 season.
Did y’all get rid of the boat ??
Nice looking boat. I enjoyed your trip. Thanks for taking us with you.
Not yet, my father-in-law still has it and it hasn't seen the water since this video. She needs a new owner!!! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching Gary!
I burn pretty easy so I wouldn't mind wearing an umbrella hat like that.. but I'd never hear the end of it from my friends 😆🙄
Hey on the boat was bouncing in the beginning of the video you don’t necessarily have to put the trim down it’s just you had too much weight in the back
What a nut job you are.. love it!!! Love all your videos - make more SUP vids though 🧡
If you put an extension handle on the throttle and go forward a little bit it will not bounce like that 😁
All those UFO sightings on the news… now we know it’s just Trip and his sun shade hat cruising down the river lol
Haha! Might be!
You can put on a Stingray stabilizer fin. It will stop the porpusing.
I probably would if I was keeping the boat for myself ;)
I should of floated that river the same time trip smith was on it
Sure should have!
Gotta get yourself a pack of P-38 can openers. I leave one in a few different packs because I always forget a can opener.
Ha! Yea I should for real!
Trip Dip!!!!!
Nice under water footage.
Sun hat idea! If you use a breathable material it will allow wind to pass through but offer some solid sun protection?
Maybe.... Could be worth a try.
Trip I love ur videos I’d love to get my hands on a gheenie wish I could find one here near me in south Alabama y’all selling that one?
Yea Daniel it's for sale in Dothan 👍🏼
need a grab bar and longer tiller. mine did the same thing with just me on it. havnt tried it yet with the longer tiller with just me on it yet.
Yea that would certainly help. With it not being my boat I just figured I'd go with it like it was.
Great vid ! Where can I get a hat like you are wearing? Not the big monster but the one with the side vents. Thanks!
Thanks Jim! Check the links in the description ;)
How was the hammock without some sort of under quilt or pad? Chilly I bet.
Thanks for the video! Do you think a 13’ Gheenoe is stable enough that you could put a casting deck in the front with a seat on an 11” pedestal?
Youre welcome! Ummmm that's tricky.... If you bring it towards the middle you may be good
Trip, what editing software do you use for all your videos?
Well if anything's going to happen it's going to happen out there!
When you go under bridges and such do you ever encounter fishing line and hooks hanging down?
Pretty sure you were running that can opener backwards. but it did the job!
Haha, I very could have been.....
Yes I need that hat!
But do you not wear a PFD?
Some people I know may or may not have jumped off that ledge into that very spring a couple weeks back...😁
Haha! Good times!
At the 6:42 mark I thought you had a HUGE gator or port stern!
You may be right.... Just watched it lol
Thermacell is an essential piece of equipment
Loved hearing the Charlie Robison on there. What a great artist that the radio really won't play. Like Kevin Fowler, Ray Scott, and others. Instead of pop-country, we need more good country.
Dang right! Love some Charlie! I agree, we need more good country....
bro looking like kenny chesney at 4:09
Quail eggs cracked on an English muffin and baked is amazing.
Sounds good to me!!!!
I want a stickers for my kaya any link to them buddy love ur videos man 😎
Trip you got a tough stomach buddy.
Small drone for the trip get an aerial recon
👍
Where do you get the spray?
Hey Trip: what brand canned calamari is that? I have never seen that in grocery?
Not sure.... I'll have to check next time I grab some. (Just Googled it - here ya go! Vigo Jumbo Squid
My grandparents live there and u passed right by there house
Oh very cool!
Little boats can be fun can't they?
Is it necessary to register for the event or can I just show up
If you plan on staying overnight or joining in on the activities it would be wise to register ;)
Is he up there right now?
Trip .? Them shoes you wear.... Are they Macys pearl
Hey Trip! What is the name of that hammock? I must have missed that. Nice hat! Thanks

Thanks PAW! Yep, great hammock Alyssa ;)
I love that hat..but it is not available upon the link provided.
Try this one John - amzn.to/2Uu2nBt
trip how do you deal with the lightning
Try to live right... That and if it gets on top of me, I'll go ashore and perch down on a life jacket..... That's about all you can do.
Opens BumbleBee Shrimp, man that's borderline bad. You shoulda got the smoked oysters tin instead, lol.
I was debating it, but I've had them in the past and hadn't done the shrimp yet. That'll be the last time lol
what camera are you using?
The DJI Osmo Action - www.amazon.com/shop/tripsmith?listId=Z29P6V44L71F
hey brother where exactly is that place you camped,,, I can't seem to find it....
I think it's.... Emerald Spring
That would be gainer spring
What’s your workout routine?
I alternate strength training days with higher intensity cardio days with Crossfit style workouts. I usually do a bit of core work each day I work out and include sprints at the end of some sessions. I have a bit of info here - tripsmith.live/lifestyle
Hey trip, what kind of hammock is that?
Hey Austin! That's the Grizzly from MCN Hammocks - mcnhammocks.com/collections/grizzly
@@TripSmith thanks man! I’m going to look into them
I wish I could afford to buy the boat, but being on disability I have to stick with my 71 16ft smokercraft with 76 15 hp Johnson. She getting tired...LOL
how much for this Boat I like it
Ain’t nothing gonna make your butt pucker like stump jumping 👍🏼
jeff williams on the water
Who is Jeff Williams? The Apply guy?
It looks like a satellite on your head. Ha Ha Ha Ha
Many years ago I came up with a way to camp in my Gheenoe. A TentCot sets up perfectly in my 15'9 Gheenoe. No need for trees.
Way back when there was a talk forum called Custom Gheenoe and I once started a thread titled "My Gheenoe Houseboat" where I posted a picture of the TentCot pitched inside the Gheenoe. I haven't visited that site in many years. If it's still up, I'll try to provide a link.
