- From Destin Florida to Orange Beach Alabama is a great area to explore and camp on a micro skiff. Lots of interesting things to see and it's always an adventure with Trip. This 140 plus mile trip wasn't the best weather, but the best time was made of it that's for sure!

I love watching this guy. You can really tell that he loves doing what he does and he is always positive.
yeah great guy / channel. inspirational / motivational. Dude check out philosphy d and fishermans life youtube channel i think you would like them too.
👍Totally agree. 💝
Oh yea, I totally love it! Thanks for watching Kaleb!
@@TripSmith no problem.
Not a bad day, boating and watching the Blue Angels
The Blue Angels; that right there is the sound of FREEDOM!
Real freedom is what my dad did in WW2 on an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific for four years.
Merica!!!!
Never say you can’t sink em,
We all have “that one friend”
Yea I reckon that's true. I might be that friend lol
"...you can't sink 'em..." That sounds like a challenge, to me! :)
Man this is cool me and my dad launched out of sherman cove like 10 years ago and went to explore the fort and run around in the boat all day. Brought back some good memories!
Oh nice! Glad you enjoyed it!
Im at my home office watching this and man, good to see someone out there doing it👍🤙
Haha Thanks for watching! You can do it to, make it happen!
Coolest adventure seeker on TH-cam. Keep the videos coming, I love em!
you should check out philosophy d / fishermans life. both channels are great, they are brothers from California who make incredible videos about fishing, eating fish they catch, camping, boating. deermeatfordinner isnt bad either but makes me depressed somtimes they have such a good time lol
Thankya sir! WIll do!
That's the sound of Freedom right there.
Absolutely!
Great seeing the Trip Dip! So enjoy seeing your adventures and your absolute craziness. You do enjoy living the life! Safe adventures boat on!⚓️
Yes!!! I do enjoy my craziness ;) Thanks!!!
Awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!@
Watched the whole video without skipping any parts man! Love your content.
Oh nice! That's a good sign. Thankya!
I grew up in Mobile and stayed on Ono Island many many times! During HS and college I worked on a boat out of Orange Beach Marina. Thanks for taking me on a little trip down memory lane!
Oh how awesome!!!! I'm sure you've got some good memories.
Well done Trip....as usual. Love the new hammock. I may need to get one of those. Keep up the good work and God bless you and the family.
Thankya Ken! Awesome hammock....
Thanks for posting it. Always enjoy the plethora of knowledge I acquire just from simply tagging along.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
always an adventure Trip!!!!!!!!!!!
I usta live in Orange Beach in 1990. It was beautiful then as well as now. I worked at Bear Point Marina and it is still there too. Crazy how things seam stuck in time while it grows to be so huge around it. Thanks for the journey :) ...
Oh cool! Glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos are really inspiring for me. I live here in LA (lower Alabama), I moved here 10 yrs ago from WI and because of illness and injuries I haven't been able to enjoy the outdoors the way I've wanted to, but I'm working on that and getting fit again so I can enjoy the coast and get back to snorkeling and doing all the fun beach stuff. I get inspired by people who stay fit and like a little adventure.
Absolutely love this content!!!!
Hey thanks a ton!
👍⭐️😍I absolutely loved watching the whole video! I’m amazed at how an $8 umbrella anchor held the boat in place! You had me cracking up @ 41:37 - 41:47, @ 55:00-55:05, @ 1:01:24 😂😆 Fun video. Thanks for sharing!💝🤗💞🤗
Hey awesome, so glad you enjoyed it! Yea, talk about a deal. Sometimes I'm a little silly.... but having a good time for sure.
😂 ya the 55 mark had me rolling. Definitely my favorite part.
SIMPLE MAN !!!!! Need more like ya😎
Yea buddy!
Great video as usual. Looks like a good time. When using that green thing i though you were trying to ice fish on sand...started to worry about you
Thanks! Always a good time! Haha, I hear ya....
That's a good haul from milton to the pass in my old 19' cape.... props for doing that full trip is a skiff
Fished the bay and watched the blues fly many a times. Been a anchor point (at least it seemed like it) before and that was awesome
Glad you enjoyed it! Great area for sure.....
This is (a) really cool Trip!
Liv’n the dream is done at all levels. My dream is cuddly cabin so I can sleep on boat. Freedom on the water. Good for you!
Yea, I'd like to have a small trailerable pilot house type boat ;) Hope you get that cuddy.
Love that skiff , looks like a good time 👍👍🇺🇸
Good times for sure!
Cool adventure. Love that area.
Thanks Rob, me too!
Good trip 🤙🏽
Thankya!
Great video. Cool new hammock & tarp.
Thankya!
Awesome! I’m headed to Pensacola in a couple weeks. Can’t wait
Enjoy!
Anchor!!! HAHA! That’s funny. I’ve “never” done that. Great video.
Haha fur sure!
👍@57:15 forget the food...I want to know what was in the cup!!! 😍That looked like a nice frozen adult beverage.😋💝
Haha! That was a famous bushwasker ;)
Great video Trip! Looking forward to the SUP adventure! Btw, I think that baby crab was scared! It saw the hunger in your eyes!!
Thanks Jon! Yes it must have seen that lol
Got my popcorn ready
You know it!
Man that's a ride
It's a pretty good one lol
The Blues practice overtop my house in Navarre . It's awesomeness! You probably already know there is also a fire station on Santa Rosa Island in Navarre .
Oh cool! I didn't know that about Santa Rosa Island. Cool stuff!
Hey Trip.. I like that you Thanked the Good Lord for all you enjoy. I have a skiff as well and it’s such a blessing to be out and enjoy the beautiful Earth that God blessed us to enjoy. Stay safe and blessed brother!
Well, He is the one giving me all the opportunities to enjoy things... Stay safe & Blessed!@
@@TripSmith Thanks for the reply.. I love your adventures my man...perfect content you give.
Kool videos bro definitely luv what you do Moe from New Zealand
Good stuff man.
Thanks!!!
Radar looks interesting but all is good 😂👍👌
Lol I hear ya. Good times.
Respect 💯
Yea buddy!
Awesome video!
Thankya!
great trip..TRIP.......
Thankya!
Am I the only one that was terrified in that old fort?! Besides that, looks like another great trip, Trip! Love your videos!
Haha, yea i Have been told from a few folks that I was crazy to go in there alone. The thing is, everyone is scared to be in there alone in the dark. So no one should be in there to cause trouble. Especially out there away from everything. Glad you enjoy them Traya!
Cool micro skiff
Thanks John!
Love watching this Guy, as I were with him...
Glad you enjoy watching Charles!
2:06 come on now, that boat could have been a transformer and flown off into outer space, where’s your kill switch 😂😂
I'm into the stealth mode also. Love all my stuff Olive green and Black.
Yep!
Love the vid
Thanks Asher!
I really like all your videos. It's nice to see someone who enjoys other people but knows how to enjoy their own company as well. I don't know why when I tell people I'm doing something like this they ask "you wont get lonely"?
Glad to hear that Brandon! It's good to be alone at times then good to hang with good people....
Adding fishing and camping with Trip Smith to my bucket list lol
Ive never seen him fish before and he mentioned not being a big fan of fishing in one of his videos. Wonder why.
There ya go Johnny! I just haven't taken the time to get good at fishing.... To busy adventuring
@@pmang6 fair point. Doesn't mean I can't fish lol
13:27
SLAYER !!!!!! \m/
Lol Good eye
We use to camp on them islands, great place to rest or take cover from a storm. It ain't no holiday inn but better than going to the boat launch..
Absolutely!
The Algorithm sent me here. I'm glad it did. I've lived here 20 years and haven't seen this much of the coast. Hello from Crestview, Florida.
I'm glad it did too! Lots of adventures to catch up on.
You know what's better than watching a sunrise...
Sleeping through it....
Haha I hear ya.
Rad channel by the way ...
Too funny on the coozie find. I work like 10 minutes from White Castle LA. LOL
Haha nice!!!! Small world
@18:00 i think that craig cat was @thatboatguy s. nice to see it again
Oh cool! Nice ride!
Just get on with it 👍👍👍🤣
lol Yea buddy!
About to watch! Hope you stopped by Spectre Island!
Hmmmm, don't know about that one....
7:14 The Blue Angels turned out to greet Trip as he passed?!
Exactly!
I love how at 13:22 Trip is in the Fort explaining how interesting it was and it says "Fart in my mouth" on the wall LMAO!!!
OH there was all kinds of stuff on those walls lol
At Escambia...if u would have just walked about 100ft west on the shoreline there are a few rocks in about 4 ft of water that hold a lot of fish. Was there with the kids during a hurrication from Carolina coast. The beach side at ft Pickens also had some gorgeous tide pools with plenty of passing sea life. Take care
Aw man, didn't know about those spots..... Hate I missed them!
Check out a Hobie power skiff. 13 and 15 foot models, self bailing so the water stays out without a pump, it’s foam filled so won’t sink and it’s a deep v so it is good In some chop.
Yea, I've seen those actually and really liked them. I need to look around at them some more.
I live in gulf shores which is just next to orange beach and we boat around the pass all the time and fish offshore on the fishing boat
Nice! Good spot to live
Mermaid Trip. Lol. Great stuff brother.
I think he might be gay. Doth protest too much. Love this adventure.
Haha, nah, not gay for sure ;)
Panama City local here! Great content man!
Awesome!!!! Thankya!
You should look at Carolina Skiffs, specifically the J Series. Simple, unsinkable, stable, and shallow drafting.
I've looked at them.... Not sure about the J Series but a lot them can beat you up in chop....
When ppl ask me what I wanna be when I grow up I say Trip Smith
lol. being a fiorefighter / paramaedic / emt is a great job too lol. trips great motivation
Haha I hear ya! lol
Hey Trip, recently found your channel and subscribed. I am enjoying the energy and spirit of adventure you bring to each video. As I’m catching up with your videos I’ve seen several things you use I’d like to get. ie the hat and pillow from this video. Looked for a gear list but not finding one. ??
Hey thanks Sean, glad you found the channel! The hat is a Imperial Headwear hat, Watership Series. The Pillow.... CampSaver ;)
I want a boat like that so bad.
Hope you can get yourself one soon Evan!
New sub. Awesome video. Thanks
Hey thanks Kevin! Welcome to the channel!
If you ever sell your boat for one of those Boston Whalers PLEASE sell it to me! I live in Destin, love watching your channel and thats my dream skiff! Haha keep up the adventures Trip! Maybe I’ll see ya out on the water one day!
Hey Bo! Well, it's kinda for sale under that radar. Have some folks coming to look at it tomorrow. Shoot me an email at tripsmith.live/contact Maybe so man! Thanks!
Bro, you are awesome and funny !!! Keep up with the adventure and may the good Lord keep you safe as you travel on God's great earth.
Thanks Frank! Will do!
Great vid, as usual!
Thankya sir!
The Fart In My Mouth graffiti tag in the background of one of your shots cracked me up 😂 great video as always
lol Glad you enjoyed it.
Should go to Tacky Jack's. I love that place.
I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!
Robert Smith is the singer / guitarist for The Cure. 😆
i believe that boat guy may have one of those little cats he may sell.
Maybe.... Need to get up with him.
Good genuine content your personality the energy you bring and the way you make you videos are amazing I love going on adventures and trips and fishing and hunting along the way and your videos just bring a smile to my face thank your for taking your time to make these videos and putting them on here for all of us to watch
Glad you enjoy it! You're welcome. Thanks for the great comment.
I used to have a 13 ft. Whaler fun little boat should've kept it hindsight right
Yea hindsight.... I'd like to cruise in one one day.
1:01:50 waking you up...good one.
Haha I just woke up to another boat passing by like that.
I Wass just there lol isn't Florida beautiful
Very beautiful.....
How do you not fish!??? It’s sooo fun and you’re over some amazing fishing water!???
I donno, just to much trouble (or that's what I have told myself) I need to start.... wish I would!
@@TripSmith if you started it would be awesome content for your videos. A catch clean and cook in the wilderness!!!
You should do a trip down the flint river too lake Seminole closer too Albany ga it gets really rocky and it’s definitely one of the coolest places ever in my opinion
Yea I've heard of that section... I need to give a try....
how can you not like this video already !? lol
It’s easy. Click “Like”.
It’s Trip. You know it’s gunna be good.
Haha thanks Flats!
Trip you should look at the 17’ Swan Point. Love your videos.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Just found this channel. This guy looks like Murr from the show impractical jokers😀 subscribed👍🏼
Haha! Thanks for subscribing jlowe!
I live there in Miramar Beach.
Oh nice spot!!!!
I have a custom g3 16ft skiff and it is awesome I can draft 5 inches
NIce!!!! I'd like to give one a try in some rougher water and see how she does.... My father in law has one to and their nice!
Good stuff as usual. Can you tell us what boat that us, and equipment, thanks
Thanks! Check the links in the description. The boat is an IPB 14 ;) Now Skimmer Skiff Makes them
You should come to west Tennessee and run the hatchie river.
Maybe I can one day!
Need to figure out away to add support poles to the skiff and be able to set the hammock and tarp up on it.
Yea.... I just don't like drilling in my boat when I don't have too or having random parts banging around when I'm underway.
Boston Whaler Montauk 17 would be a perfect boat for ya trip. I’m not a salesman but I’m an owner and i love mine. They make smaller ones that are great too like the super sport 13 but the montauk 17 is big enough for the family too
I have Super Sport 13 at least 15 years old. Fun to cruise around in and looks better than the newer ones. Cruises effortlessly at 20 knots but can do 30 with the 40 hp Merc. A little scary leaping off big wakes at 20 knots. What kind of skiff and motor size does he have?
Yea I'd like to take a few whalers for a test run one day. Would be fun. I really like the newer ones.... That is an IPB 14 for a 25hp 2-stroke on her.
I live in Biloxi. Do you ever consider coming west towards MS. We have several cool spots especially around the Ocean springs and Biloxi area. We have horn island and ship island with Davis bayou. I'm in Casino management and most of my friends are local business owners, we grew up on the water in Biloxi so we would be happy to show you some beautiful spots. You seem like a funny guy and would fit right in with my friends.
I haven't ventured that way yet, I've heard the water isn't as clear over that way and I'm a sucker for clear waters ;) Is this MIke?
@@TripSmith my name is Anthony and the water is not as clear until you get up in the rivers and bayous. If you ride out to Horn island it's 7 miles off the coast and the water is like Florida and the island is beautiful. We would be glad to go with you and with my cajun crew you would have a blast. We boil crabs, shrimp and we swim with the dolphins. Something to think about, let me know and I'll get you my number so we can talk. Take care Trip.
I watch your videos all the time.what size hp is on the skiff
Hi there. My dad introduced me to your videos the other day and I had a thought that when you are sleeping on your boat that you might be able to have a hinged board coming off of your storage compartment lid (the one that you sleep on) that would open towards the front of the boat and rested on your cooler, or the front of the boat (not sure of the dimensions) to give you a better, more stable platform for sleeping on. You know, just a piece of plywood or something durable that you could paint white or whatever.... It would make your lid slightly heavier, but might be worth a good nights sleep. I like the new mattress that blows up with the bag.... great solution to blowing up small things. I enjoyed watching. Good for you on your adventuring, and stay safe out there! :)_
.... or perhaps the board could be hanging down on the front of the compartment and then raises Up on a hinge to rest on your cooler...????
Yea, I've thought about various things like your are talking about.... Haven't come up with a solution I would be happy with. I have a few ideas I'd like to try but I will probably be selling the boat in the near future so I won't be making extra holes or anything in her.
@@TripSmith :) I wasn't sure you even still had "her" now.... I saw you had your eyes on a new boat! lol Have fun.
It always freaks me out seeing you jump in the water. It just part of having grown up in North Qld where the big salty crocs live.
Yea.... Thankfully we don't have them here. Are they that bad down there????
@@TripSmith Their reputation is. The fact they see us as food and won't hesitate if given the opportunity is worrying.
Love the content bro. I'm in the south too. Also love small boats just refinished a orlando clipper 14ft made in orlando Florida in 1955. How do you find all the marinas for fuel or you carry all your fuel? What your average speed?
Thanks Lucas! Nice find. Both, this time I carried most of it but I just figure there will be a marina somewhere. If not, I'd find a gas station and walk to it with my cans ;) Cruising easy at 25mph.
Hey Trip. Who makes that fly and hammock? Thanks in advance
It is scallop season in Florida you should try it
I'll be going scalloping when it comes in around port st joe next month ;)
1:20 is where billy bowlegs takes place. a local holiday on the water.
we are proud of the graffiti at 13:22
Lol yea that graffiti.... I want to go to Bowlegs.... Need to plan it this year!
