These are the real trip smith videos. I think we all love the feeling of being there for the progression of the journey and fun camp sites. Love the dory but losing the aspect of always needing to find a cool campsite is sad. Plenty of channels doing the living on a boat thing. I got a kayak and eventually a skiff from this channel. Moving to the bigger boat is great for family camping but we lose some of the nature moments from it. Just an opinion.
This is what we like . These kinda videos . Great stuff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Pea River? I about peed my pants three times watching this. My wife and I were in tears!
That's awesome Jared! Glad you both enjoyed it!
Great vid, you're one funny guy. Loved watching you brush your teeth with doctor Bronner's. I'm still laughing.
+Mea Woodsman Thanks Mea! I try to have fun, without fun what would be the point? Lol, glad you enjoyed it. I really didn't expect it to be as "popular" as it is. I was thinking it was just going to be another good tip in case you forgot your toothpaste. But I was wrong lol Still made for good video though! Thanks for the comment Mea!
I love this channel! He's so goofy and funny lol!
+Jayce Cole Haha! Thanks Jayce, glad you enjoy watching.
Lmao 🤣 I love the Wilson reference. People who know me always used that reference as it’s my last name. I never seen the movie but one day I woke up in the the middle of the night to catch that part where his raft broke up and he lost Wilson 👏🏼👍
I cracked up at the "It looks like a man---of course a man-made bridge." Great video! I subbed.
;) Yea, sometimes strange things just come out.... Thanks for subscribing!!!
I showed this to my wife because she is always complaining about me making videos. You saved the day. Lol thanks for sharing.
+shane newsome Wives complaining about to much time spent Youtubing? No way lol. You betcha, hope she understands a little bit better now.
That was really cool and fun to watch. Thank you for going to all the trouble it takes to produce such a great video. Keep em coming!
+FogDog68 Glad you enjoyed it Fog! I enjoy it. I'll keep making them as long as people keep watching, commenting and sharing. Makes it all worth it!
These videos are always great... so honest and a good time to relive these moments in time...... kudos to you buddy !!!! Every time I wanna do these river runs this is motivation....... I’m 41 in December....still feel like 25 with these vids
Yea man... Good times! Get out there and make it happen!
Yes!! I am so happy that you were able to go on another adventure and could get another video uploaded, i check daily to see if a new video is uploaded, while i know there probably isn't one because you are an individual who works, i am always ecstatic to see one!!!
+Jeremy Handzel Me to Jeremy! Hate to disappoint you daily lol You sound like my mom..... Just kidding! I do work..... BUT I am working on changing some things and devoting more time to TH-cam sooooooo things could be looking up soon. It may be a slow transition but that is the plan! Thanks for the great comment man.
Nahh, you don't disappoint at all!
Good deal!
It's so awesome, when watching I feel like I'm in a kayak next to you going on the trip. It's so cool thanks and keep it up
+Anthony Fishing So glad you enjoy the videos man! I'll keep em coming!
YES!!! I am so happy you had an opportunity to go on an adventure! I can't wait to watch and comment!
Enjoy!
+Florida Girl Adventures That looks a little like the swaunnee river in north Florida - @ 6min(later you talk about crossing the line so I guess that explains the similar landscape). Something great about getting out! You my friend are a goofy goober and I loved the video! What do you do? You think! I don't think Ive ever been bored always something amazing going on! You are the best dressed adventure guy I know!
I've had multiple people suggest the Swaunee. I need to get down there one day. Glad you enjoyed it and my funky personality lol. What do I do? I do construction and I'm a fire fighter.
Sometimes hard to get bored on a kayak trip.
lol, when I asked 'what do you do' I was asking as for those who ask us "what we do' when we are out kayaking - but your day job definitely explains the arms, and pulling through that shallow upper Pea! Hey you also have to get in on the Santa Fe if you're hitting North FL! Amazing clear brown like Suwanee, with huge cypress, what made it stand out are the white fossil shell lined beaches, these are fossilized snail shells by the ton and when you take a handful to dry and say bring home they turn to powder but are so beautiful on it's shore. I didn't get to paddle much of it sway.com/7P76NCVgQe6ukxrT this is the trip I took this summer which includes the sante Fe.
Once again another great video must of the time I can't watch a hour long video but I never get bored watching your videos.Keep up the goofy carefree attitude.LOL
+Tim Johnson Thanks so much Tim. Really glad you are able to sit and enjoy something for an hour. I know that it is tough sometimes on TH-cam. I don't think I could do it any other way than goofy and carefree! Thanks for watching and commenting, means a lot....
Really liking your videos. Sitting by the fire watching them.
+Don Stanton Awesome Don! Thanks for taking the time to leave a positive comment. Heading out on my next adventure in a couple days. Should have another fun video up after that. Thanks for watching!
I love your show. Lots of tips. I live in Oregon, and paddle the Willamette River. Exploring neat places. Each time I watch I feel better. Your attitude cheers me up. Thanks
Thanks Wayne, glad you enjoy it bud! Have fun up there in the cold my man, you are tougher than me!
You made my day with this video, you have a loyal new subscriber! Keep up the good work my good sir
Awesome Cody!!!! Thanks for subscribing! Hope you enjoy the future videos as well.
"There still fine, You ain't gonna die" Could be the best camping T-shirt ever...
Haha true!
I have not read all of the posts, so forgive me if someone has already posted this. Not to be a smart butt, you always have your life jacket with yo on the water, put a small Bic lighter, fire steel, and chap stick in your life jacket pocket. It will always be there and not take up too much space, and the chap stick is a good fire starter as well.
+Robert31352 No problem Robert, comment away! lol You know, I started out with a fire kit in my PFD. I had a lighter, waterproof matches, Vaseline cotton balls, a knife and some random zip ties. The ziplock bag I had it all in leaked and ruined the contents and I never replaced it..... I like the chapstick idea, I'll add that to my next one. I think I'd like to get some lock-sack zip lock bags and put a kit in them, they are supposed to be tougher...... Thanks for the comment!
Can't get out on water this weekend so going through all the S&S VIDS again while having peanut butter on toast and cup of Tea and relaxing.Must say your 2 trips on Pea river is my Favourites,all your river camping trips are awesome!!
Great weekend! lol Hope you are able to get out there soon! I enjoyed the Pea river trips as well. Hard to pick favorites though.... Glad you enjoy them dismal, thanks for watching and commenting bud.
It might be worth carrying a toilet scrubber brush with you to help clean the mud off your shoes. I’ve never heard of anyone doing it, or done it myself, but it seems like a hell of a tool to keep tied onto your boat. ...It’d make a good backscratcher and prop for a few other jokes too! :D Have fun out there and be safe.
Oh wow that is a great idea Nathan! Maybe I can remember to bring one next time lol You take care as well bud.
I took a kitchen one with me today...worked great
If you're fishing on the river, grubs and stick baits are amazing. Little crank baits will catch some fish, too. The smaller the better.
Thanks for the tips! Hope to get out next week and do some kayak fishing ;)
I enjoy the content man. Keep up the good work. Roll Tide
Laying in bed relaxing watching another Trip adventure classic.
There ya go! Enjoy!!!!
I love love this video! I subscribed. Your energy is amazing. I can't wait to get out on the water soon.
Thanks! Hope you Get OuT There Soon!
50:51 "Got a lil' mint to it!"
hahahaha.. That was hilarious.
+Max Martian Well.... it did lol. I was a little hesitant to include that part, glad I did!
That was hilarious. I enjoy your videos. Keep'em coming!
Will do!
Just watching some older videos still funny trip
Haha! Glad you enjoy them and thanks for watching, some good stuff to catch up on ;)
My wife and camped out for a week at Gunter Hill campground in Ala. and Kayaked Catoma creek area. We were very disappointed at how much trash was in the water and shore line. We live in Ga and drove out that way with a group of friends that live in Ala.
+CVObservatory Yea, it is sad when I see trash. It's an unfortunate reality..... Sounds like a good trip! Thanks for watching and commenting.
love ur adventure vids Trip...ur a funny ole country boy and I love that you don't edit the "miss-adventures" that happen along the way. You keep it real...and that's nice to see. I can't wait for springtime myself for some yak camping with my little dog. Keep the funny, honest, videos coming...and I don't have to say enjoy...cause we can all see that you do.
+Marie Miller Thanks Marie! You've got me figured out! I see that little dog, looks like the perfect kayak partner to me.
I'll keep them coming. I'm working on making some life changes to allow for more time dedicated to S&S so the future should be getting better for everyone around here. I'll have a good time! Hope you do to!
total respect for ur trips and ur service to the public as a fireman :)
+My Adventures Thanks man! I really appreciate that!
Wonderful video!! I have to get out there!! My 3 year old is watching this with as she kayaks on the river here in N MS! She saw you going to bed and was a bit nervous that she had to go bed! But we are watching this at 8AM LOL!
+Michael Mott Thank Michael! Hope you two had a blast! Thanks for the comment and for getting the next generation out yaking!
1 am in the morning here and still watching your videos brilliant keep them coming buddy
Ha! Glad you are enjoying them. I'll keep them coming. Just finished filming another 3 day trip. Now just many hours of editing and it'll be posted.
inspirational video. my husband and I just got our first kayak. we're really excited to use them.
+Fun Times With Liliana Glad to hear that. Hope you two enjoy!!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome. Saw this vid now and pea river ain't to far from me. Gunna have to check this place out for sure
+Aj wood Sweet AJ! Give it a go man, great place!
great video bro! really enjoyed the whole thing!
+tonybuddy123 Awesome Tony. So glad you enjoyed it man. Hope all is well.
Wish I had my kayak already… I’d be on the water like you 👍
another gear hanger you could do I get an old belt, wrap it around a tree, add hanging hooks, BAM you got yourself a gear hanger
Yep, that would work for sure! Thanks for the tip!
Trip you just walked past the best lighter the river birch bark will take a spark great even quicker than Fanwood
Thanks for great video of the river.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Always pay attention to how the locals a fishing where and the bait if they will tell you. That way you can catch some! In alabama brim and crappie are your best eating. Or even catfish. Bass if you have to. But small red worms or crickets are the way to go. If you want to catch bass the a Texas rig with a u-tail is great all around lower!
Awesome video!! very funny when you were trying to reach your camera!
+nelson cobb Glad you enjoyed it Nelson. Yea, that was interesting. I've found that most of the good parts in the videos aren't planned.... This is actual real reality, not "Reality TV"..... lol
What a great video.(Just like all your videos)I am getting a Kayak this Wed.And im looking forward to my own adventures.I have learned a lot from your videos.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Robert!!! That's awesome! What kayak are going to be enjoying? Have fun!!!
+SailingandSuch Lifetime Tamarack 120.
Awesome! Hope you get to use it plenty.
64 and just took up kayaking, great informational video, entertaining too! Thanks.
+Bob Ruchalski Glad you enjoyed it Bob! Hope you check out the rest of my videos as well. Thanks for watching and commenting, hope you catch the future video as well. It's only going to get better from here!
this vid never gets old,brushin ur dang theeth with soap
Ha! Love that oldie!
This is great! I felt like I was there with you the whole time. I went on a canoe trip once from Oklahoma to Arkansas, but I much rather prefer kayaks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yea, I prefer kayaks or paddle boards over a canoe ;)
I found out how to be super lazy for a trip! You may buy like 4 Subway sandwiches fully topped with every single vegetable and condiment they have (except mustard, oh God please no that wouldn't taste right in this recipe) and seal 6" sections in zip lock bags and the mayo and vinegar keeps the preserved sanwiches moist not dried out for days and days. One for supper, one for breakfast, (can get tuna and also one different kind for variation, lunch meat trio) and then just whatever snacks for working/playing. Then it's no stove nor fire needed in hot weather, just water and tea or coffee drinking. Just clean water is DELICIOUS and when in the Wild coffee isn't even necessary since coyotes can wake you up at 3 or 4, plus it ain't exactly the rough life. Thank ya for sharing the vacation and advices.
Haha! That would be delicious! I love all the veg's! I'd be worried about the Mayo though, doesn't it get almost poisonous?
That would be fun to try though. Yep, not roughing it anymore!
You are very welcome, thanks for watching and commenting!
L.o.l. No, it never hurt, but I suppose it has rottable ingredients, true...maybe skip the mayo. Hmm. & you're the one who drinks straight from springs unfiltered! Ha.
Ha! You've got a point. lol
Tip 1: if you want to catch fish on a river system, don't use plastics. There is a wide array of fast, moving baits that work with great success. Here are some: shallow crankbaits, spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, frogs, torpedos, jerkbaits,beetlespins. Tip 2: Don't use push buttons or spincast reels at all. Sorry, but they are easy to break, and they have slower gear ratios. Tip 3: throw up in the junk! On the pea, there are a lot of fallen trees, pockets in bends and rock flats, and pools where springs flow out of. Bass in creeks and rivers tend to become ambush predators, so they sit and hide and let the food come to them. Hope my advice helps.
Great advice! Thanks a ton man. Maybe I'll put these to practice one day!
Freshwater like that holds nice sized catfish. Try using a 2oz weight with a number 4 sized hook and cocktail shrimp. Always works for me. Nice vid!
I'll have to give that a shot. Thanks for the tip!
BOOYA!!!! Finally,watching it the now! "DO NOT DISTURB"
BOOYAH! Forgot to through that in the lol. Glad your watching bud.
Trip you had me in tears haha. brushing your teeth with soap?! That was a good laugh lol. looks like you had fun. I'm so ready to get back in my kayak and go on another adventure! won't be long. Great video as usual!
+Nicholas Frasier Perfect! Tears of joy! I was nearly in tears from the taste... Oh I definitely had some fun. Can't wait for another one myself. Thanks for watching and commenting Nicholas!
Great to see you doing another kayak adventure video. 👍🏻👍🏻
+Eagleclaw72 I was glad to see it as well! Should be doing another pretty soon. Thanks for the comment!
Dude ...watching the part of you brushing your teeth with soap was like a Mr Bean episode...rofl. You are awesome bud...love your adventure vids.
Haha! I'll take that as a compliment, I love Mr. Bean! Thanks for the great comment!
Absolutely a compliment. You made me laugh Bud! And it seems you are a firefighter? I thank you for your public service dude! My dad is retired Army and Police Officer so I appreciate the sacrifice you all do! I also live in NW FL (near Pensacola) so hope to run into you one day on the river!
It is a little cold for kayaking but that gives me time to watch your videos.
Great video.
+Gold Combat Arms Missed your comment! Sorry about that! Hate that it's to cold where you are my man. Hope it warms up sooner than later for you!
I can't believe any sane individual would give this a thumb down. This is great stuff!! And practical advice to nature adventurers. I hope to meet you some day, Trip. Maybe on the river! Have you done the Conecuh River yet? Several friends and I plan to launch at River Falls for a paddling/camping trip from March 28-April 2, 2016.
+Marc Williams Lol Thanks for that Marc. I think I have a subscriber who is a chronic thumbs downer..... Maybe we will run into each other sometime. I hope to plan some group trips in the future with open invitation to all so you never know. I have not.... I'd like to as it's not far away. I haven't done much research on it but I should and I will. If you can remember to, let me know how the trip goes and what the river is like. Yall have a good time!
7 years ago, man time flys!
Yes it sure does..... Make those memories!
Great!! adventure Trip. Damn, you never even hit the water and already in the mud. Seeing the shadow on the water from the semi on the over pass. I'm with ya on that one bro. that wud of been me also.
You sure took the cake with the soap using it as tooth paste! You don't always have ta listen to ur wife! I seen it coming eventually and it did! I was in tears laughing sooo hard I had to stand up because my stomach was hurtin.
All in all thx. for the ride! BOOYA!
+Keith Lapere I know it Keith! I really wish the camera would have been rolling, it was pretty bad even though can couldn't tell very much from the video..... Yea man, I almost wanted to edit that part out lol (the shadow).
That may not have been my best idea with the soap. She sure got a good laugh out of it. I love hearing that, glad you found my misery amusing lol. BOOYA! Thanks for watching!
I don't know what it is but I dig your videos. I even bought a kayak yesterday and I'm planning my own adventure. Keep it up!
I know what it is! You wan to get out there!. Glad you enjoy them Travis. That's great, what kayak did you end up with? I'll keep the camera rolling.
Ha ha love you man sounds like me. I’d get scared of a semi shadow and not figure it out till later too ha ha ❤️
WOW ... 70s in January .. I'm moving to AL .. LOL .. year-round outdoor enjoyment sounds good to me! Looks like a different kayak from prior videos .. good trip, thanks for sharing!
+Michele-Mike Bradley I must say we do have some pretty good weather!
Well, it's the first touring kayak I bought and went on the Choctawhatchee trip with. I'll probably be using it unless I get another since I can't really get comfortable in my yellow yak....
Thans for watching!
Michele-Mike Bradley Just make sure you leave before June hits.
. I like the idea of that gear hanger. Nice video, first I have come across your channel and I subscribed.
I generally close them up at night or whenever I'm expecting rain. The gear hanger is a must have for me.... You should make yourself one! Thanks for watching and subscribing! How - To - th-cam.com/video/6NdYOMetVJ8/w-d-xo.html
fantastic video keep up the great work
+Sam Hutchinson Much appreciated Sam! Glad you are enjoying them, thanks for watching!
Next river trip, try trot lines to catch catfish. If you don't already know what trot lining is, do some research. It's a great way to get something to eat just about any time of the year.
I mean even Mr. Trip can catch a fish on a trotline. Let's hope at least😂
Thanks for the suggestion! I've set out trot lines and been jugging in the past. Enjoyed it and caught some fish. I haven't set out a trotline in quite a while. Once I set it up, how long should it be out before checking it? It seems like I remember they catch a lot of catfish, do they generally catch anything else?
+SailingandSuch we put them out overnight. I have a vid from a couple months ago of it. And sometimes you catch a snapping turtle or a gar every once in a while but not too often.
Sweet! Just watched the video. Not to bad! I may have to research and make myself a trotline....
I'm going to have to buy new paddles for my canoe. You've lit a fire under me, but being up here in Missouri, it's a bit cold now. Will have to wait till late April. Thanks for sharing your trip.
+Ron Briz Absolutely Ron! Go get one! That's fabulous, my intentions are to inspire other people to get and enjoy so I'm happy to hear that, really I am. Well come late April you better get out there, don't let life pass you by. You bet, thanks for watching and commenting.
It's finally here yaaaay
+GALAXY GAMER Yep, finally lol
awesome video. Pretty entertaining guy. Hilarious teeth brushing scene!!!
Thanks Luc! I'm a little crazy at times, no hiding that! Glad you enjoyed it.
Trip, your a trip. once again nice work. on this trip you seemed a little more lay back.
+Jose M Thanks Jose! Tried to throw some more bloopers in there for you, hope you noticed. Yea, I think I was. The pace was more laid back, the river was more laid back, the weather was more laid back, it was just a great easy going trip. Enjoyed it. When I finished I was a little uncertain if the footage would come together for a decent video but I'm happy with it.
Awesome vid Trip!
+NexStep Products I appreciate it! Thanks for the great products! Hope you guys gain some visibility out of it. I see myself wearing them more for sure.
Thanks for sharing your adventure! I have a special needs child and dont get out much anymore and I love to see the outdoors on your videos. Oh, around 41 minutes when you were looking for lightern gnots, it looked like there was a birch tree right behind you. That bark works great for fire kindling too!
You're welcome Charles! Thanks for watching man. Thanks for the tip on the birch tree bark and I wish you and your family the best.
Always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Be careful with those snakes that ones markings looked a lot like a copper head. We have them here in Oklahoma. Probably couldn't move in the cold water though.
+Darryl “digitalone” Vernon Glad you do Darryl. I think it was a rat snake.... I'm familiar with the copper heads, we have a lot of them. I'm working on re arranging my schedule and making more time for TH-cam. Thanks for the comment!
Good stuff as usual.
Thank you sir!
another great video! BOOYA!
+DontUndo Thanks Undo! BOOYA to you!
Great stuff Trip!
+Eric Barron Thanks Eric! Glad you were able to watch bud!
you should get a spinning reel, there is one at walmart for 20$ and it comes with a pole, it also has a tackle box that attaches to the pole, for kayaking
+valuelessfawn6 Wow, I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Subscribed. Great videos man! Keep up the adventures!
Awesome Ryan! You the man bud! I'll keep the camera rolling!
It was neat stumbling across this video, I live just outside of Samson (3 miles from the county road 17 bridge aka Stokes Landing). I've grown up on the Pea river and knew every little thing you passed. Great video and happy camping!
Oh that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. Small world huh?
Awesome adventure !!!!! Happy Easter have a Blessed Sunday !!!
+Danny Whitlock Thanks Danny! Happy Easter back at ya
Bath and body works has a candle that is sunblock scent. It’s called like coastal or something like that. They have changed the name a couple times over the years but the ladies in the store alway know which one I’m talking about. Lol
Oh cool lol I'll have to hit those ladies up!
Great Enjoyable Video!
Glad you enjoyed it Alan!
He's back
+Jake Daniele Yes sir!!!!
you have the best camping and kayak videos I've seen! subbed and liked!
Awesome! Thanks for the awesome compliment! Hope you enjoy the future videos.
47:40 it would actually be cool to know how to dehydrate bananas haha they seem like a great snack!!
Thanks for sharing these mini-movies of your kayaking adventures, they are really entertaining :)
+Ric - Alrighty Ric, I'll add that to the list of to-do videos! You are very welcome, glad people enjoy them. Thanks for the comment.
YES!! FINALLY! I've been waiting on this video lol
+Nicholas Frasier I was waiting to.... I'm working on having more time to devote to TH-cam so things should get better ;)
As always, great video Trip. I very much enjoy watching your video submissions. Keep the coming. If you ever come over to The Mississippi Gulf Coast area, give me a shout. I can give you the full tour. We have many rivers and gulf islands that you would love. And we have the same great weather and temps all year long. Truly cold weather is a rare event here.
+Kevin Fayard Thanks Kevin!!!! I'll keep them coming. I'm working on moving life around a little bit and being able to focus a good bit more time to TH-cam. The future should be bright!
That would be interesting. I don't know a whole lot about it. What all have you got over there that is good to see?
+SailingandSuch That's great news. I wish you great success in that endeavor. I am looking forward to retiring from my career in law enforcement soon and have plans to start my own TH-cam channel as well. The Mississippi coast is filled with tons of attractions to suit any tourist desires that you have. Beautiful beaches and rivers. Hiking and biking trails. Desoto National Forest. Numerous casinos. Museums. Tons of quality restaurants. We even have a brand new minor league baseball stadium and team (Biloxi Shuckers) if you like baseball. You name it, we probably have it. If not, we are only an hour drive away from New Orleans, LA. They will certainly have what you are looking for.
+Kevin Fayard I forgot to mention that we have islands and bayous as well. One of the islands (Dear Island) is only a ten minute paddle from the beach in Biloxi. Much like the island you visited in Panama City, FL. Several others are located a few miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, but are even more beautiful. One named Ship Island even has a brick fortification (Fort Massachusetts) on it that was built in the 1850s and saw action in a single engagement with a US Navy warship during the War between the States. Between the multitude of fresh water rivers and bayous, and the open gulf, I guarantee you will land those fish that have thus far been so elusive. LOL. And yes, we have tons of those Blue Claw Crabs that you love to eat.
Oh wow, sounds like a good spot huh? That brick fort would be pretty neat. Blue crabs are definitely a plus I'd say. Thanks for all of the great info! I hope to get over there one day. I imagine I will ;) If you Like the Facebook Page you can probably catch me whenever I do get over that way. I typically post where I'm headed on there. Thanks again!
Hey, Andy here. Cool channel. It would be good if we could Colab, we do make very similar videos.
Have you got Alligators in that river, because Crocs here in Australia make me very jumpy when Kayaking!
I hope to do some multi day kayak trips next month, just like this video. Good to meet you.
+Andy's Fishing Thanks Andy (I've got your channel open in another window to check out as soon as I finish responding to comments). Yea, it would be pretty cool. I have seen people do it even though they were not together at the same place. Maybe we could figure something out? I donno.....
Yea, we do have gators in my area of the country but they aren't everywhere. We don't really worry about them to much though. I don't think they are as aggressive as your crocs. Good deal man, hope you have a blast!
Nive to meet you as well.
SailingandSuch
Just 40km from my house is where many 3m-5m crocodiles live, and they only see me as food! Not something I take lightly.
@@Andysfishing there are alot of alligators in the pea river. however you really only have to watch the small ones. the big ones are smart and leave people alone.
First time watching, now I'm a subscriber! Great vid, southern Alabama looks like a great place to Yak, great gear selection also!!
Awesome Cletus! It's a fabulous area to do some paddling and not far from the beautiful Florida coast either. Hope you enjoy catching up on all the past adventures ;)
Subscribed. Fun videos man! Keep them up! I'm really big into kayak fishing but you've got me wanting to take some kayak camping trips for sure!
Thanks Chris! Glad you enjoy thembud. I'll keep them up and I hope you Get Out THere for some kayak camping soon, it's a totally different and incredible animal!
Get a junky .22 that shoots good from October to the last day of February you can take any squirrel that you can get to without having to get on land to retrieve
And the other side of the down tree at the junction is the easiest place to put in and take out
+dixie carp catchers Yea, I've gotten my Rugger .22 pistol out and shot it some. I'm thinking about bringing it along but I'm not sure how it is legally..... A slingshot would be safer, law wise.
+SailingandSuch .22 pistol will be fine the only place you would get on trouble would be carrying it in the car on the way there
I've got a concealed carry permit so no issue there.
Could be worse, I've forgotten my paddle before now!
Haha! Yes it could be worse!
I live in Alabama as well. I want to take a big trip down the Cahaba River one of these days.
+beachamboys11 The Cahaba, haven't been there yet but I plan to. Supposed to be a nice river from what I've heard.
SailingandSuch I took about a five mile trip this past weekend. I fished and caught some nice bass. You should try it sometime! I put in on Grantsmill Road in Irondale.
Maybe I'll get up there sometime soon! Glad you had fun!
Sounds like a shirt idea:

Wise man ;-) Thanks for subscribing!
Great vid Trip. Love watching these. Loved all the little water falls off the river. s you were looking for the phat lighter, you passed a river birch. It also is good for fire starting. I was going to tell ya that when on the river look for areas the fish can get away from the flow of the water, then use your lure to catch a few. If it's cold, just move the lure very little. The fish get very slow and lazy in cold water..... put a worm on there. That should at least catch ya some pan fish.
I want to make one of the gear hangers you made. That's very handy. Thanks for another great vid man. Looking forward to seeing more. If you get a chance, look up the Edisto River in South Carolina. That might be the first river I do. Great fossil finds as you make your way. I've found some nice shark teeth. maybe we can plan a group trip once I get all my gear sorted.
I will have to message you on your FB. I ordered some stuff from your Amazon. I also have the Olympia TG 860 now. The Kelty 12X12 tarp and a pretty good start on my sleep system. I plan on ordering a couple more items from your Amazon store. I'm looking forward to making some vids like these. I have no clue how to edit or build a channel. Just starting to research that.
+Joe McCranie Thanks Joe! Great falls there no doubt. Ok, cool I'll keep my eye out for them. You know I need the fishing tips lol
The gear hanger is worth it's weight. I'd like to plan some group trips in the future for sure. I'll check out that river, sounds like fun.
Hey I appreciate that! Easy huh? I see where some people have bought themselves some nice gear on there. Hope it all pans out well for you. If you have questions feel free to jump on Facebook and as me man. I'm happy to lend an opinion.
First time watching. Loved it. I'm glad I've found your channel.
Excellent Bobby! Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of great adventures to catch up on. Have fun!
I will be starting kayak camping this year and I Wonder about wild life : dont you ever get disturb during night by wildlife... such as Sasquatch ;-) ?
Nah, not really Richard. By the way, I read your comment in today's live stream, Episode 2 of the Get Out There show ;) Thanks for the great comment!
Nice! I live in Elba and was wondering what the pea River looked like so I can fish it. Awesome! Really enjoyed it!
Richard I have heard good things about fishing in the Pea. Make it happen!
I enjoy all of the videos that you do but after watching the lower pea river trip I noticed you talking about how you wanted a kayak with a day hatch and also a skeg versus the rudder setup also you were talking about a WS tempest I saw a great TH-cam video comparing Chatham 17 and tempest 17 basically here's the break down lots of gear and slow flat water tempest high currents high wind high energy in the water Chatham but both hold value extremely well I know of a yellow Chatham 17 in Pensacola Craigslist for $700 just to let you know
+David Wagner Thanks David! You know, I've seen that exact same video and it's really a good one. If it were not for that video I probably would have already snatched up that Necky kayak you are talking about lol. I saw it but I'm holding out for what I'd like to use for long term. I know if I got that one I'd probably end up looking for another.
In the video he talks about how the Necky has a smaller hull and not as much internal storage which is fairly important to me. They both seemed to be about the same speed to....
Thanks for mentioning it though, I really appreciate that.
