2 Days Hot Tent Camping, Fishing at a Remote River! 

Hey Micah..... 20 + years as a first responder along with being an avid outdoorsman, backpacker, mountaineer, camper, fisherman and hunter. Understand this one suggestion I have! Never, ever rinse a wound in dirtied water... What you did dipping your hand in that river invited a huge host of microbes which will reek havoc not only on your epidermis (top layer of skin but also on the 2nd layer (the dermis) and if by chance any of those dorsal or pectoral fins punctured down to the fat layer of your body). Doing this, you are invited a huge chance of infection at all three levels... With that as CJ said get all rings, bracelets, etc. off of the affected area of the body..... As always suggested carry an extensive first aid kit (especially in your situation, being on your own and out in an area we're no one is around to help). You need to depend on yourself to treat any type of wound. Just because you have a cell phone does not guarantee you can get help. So to end this rant, having Betadine and a form of Lidocaine always as part of your first aid kit is a must along with a wound flush such as DermaKlenz Wound Cleanser (this is what I use but get whatever you can find/afford). Wound wash to cleanse, Betadine to kill bacteria and lidocaine to help with topical/subdermal pain in this situation. To end this Bro, you need a good Med bag and maybe a little education on what is needed if you are hurt while out on these excursions.... Reach out if you need some help putting a bag together and please do not rely on those you buy on-line. Take the time to research and make your own. God Bless, thank you for what you do/share with all of us!!! Erik

Dude Micah, as a former Army medic, any time you experience trauma remove all your jewlery from the affected area immediately. As you saw with your ring once your hand swells it'll be almost impossible to remove. In cases of extreme swelling it could lead to localized necrosis leading to the loss of a finger or worse. Please be safe my man 🙏

I sprained my ankle really bad and can't move. This video is right on time!!

I felt that as soon as it happened! Old South Georgia trick to numb the pain after you get finned is to rub it on the belly of the catfish. I’m sure all of the other commenters will have a field day with this approach, but hey… I’ve also drank water out of a garden hose too… 😂

Perfect timing! I’m spending the day squashing a cold while my family is out having fun. At least I can be with my RU-vid Fam!

i’ve been stuck in the middle of my hand by a saltwater catfish cold water or ice doesn’t make it better actually makes it worse u should actually boil hot water and put epsom salts in it then stick ur hand in the hot water it will neutralize the venom and take the pain away and the epsom salt will help pull the venom out so it doesn’t lead to an infection

That catfish poke looked gnarly...and you are right about the venom in their spines, they have a venom that can be quite painful as you have found out, it can even cause a little bit of necrosis in the tissue, so keep it as clean as possible... hopefully you can heal quickly

Yes! Another Highhhhh adventure video! ☝🏽

Glad to see you came prepared with a full first aid kit. Hope you feel better soon from that poke. Also, you want to use braided line on your baitcaster because it doesn't have memory like monofilament does. Put a few yard of monofilament on as a base, then tether braided to that and spool the rest with that. Have fun learning the baitcaster!

The man the myth the legend Micah

As a former long time commercial Fla fisherman who caught catfish for crab bait in gillnets we were stuck very often what always worked for us is water as hot as you can stand and bleach don't be afraid to put a good amount of bleach in sink or bowl

Micah soak your hand in as hot if water as you can stand add Epsom salt if you have some. Other thing you can do is after you clean the wound look for some plantain make a wet poultice either by chewing or mashing in plate or bowl then place on the wound it will start to feel better pretty quickly. Plantain is usually easy to find..

Unless u have had that happen with that barb u have no idea how much that hurts.Bro mine got me once in my calve and I swear I felt like fainting and it got infected cause I couldn’t get I side deep enough with my first aide kit

Micah: I hope this drone isnt a bad omen for my trip. Also Micah: gets stabbed by a fish and has a new hole in his hand

thanks for posting!

Back for anotha HIGH ADVENTURE VIDEO

LETSGOOOO

Bruhhhh you definitely need a new drone for Christmas after that crash 😂

Yes micah!!!! One of my favorite humans uploading again one love man!!!❤🎉🎉

Also. Good to see you using the splitting maul properly and not trying to hack down a tree in your front yard with it 😂. Epic winter video bro

Ayeee

Happy to see an upload! Reading the comments I am a bit scared to see your hand. But I’ll watch anyway! Lol

I've been stuck in that exact same spot my brother and u are not being dramatic, it hurts like heck!!!! God bless you my friend.

Try big marshmallows for cat fish they love them.

Everytime micah is back with another high adventure shows me how lucky i am to be alive thanks bud for making my day ❤

Always a good day when you upload

That cat fish died with lots of honor!😂😂good show bra!..🇯🇲👊🏿

Momma said there would be days like this! Lol. He's a trooper for sticking with it. If the Drone didn't send some home then the great blue cat Impalement attempt of 2023 would have sent me home in tears. Lol

Growing up catfishing my grandfather always took the slime from the cat and rubbed it on the sting, he always said it neutralizes the venom and I can say it does work. Keep up the awesome videos bro!

Hey Mika, thank you for the great adventure, if you ever get stung by another catfish again you need to use hot water, of course not too hot to a point that you would burn your hand, it will help you to relieve the pain and it will dismantle the Venom.

Best way to start a Saturday, I hope the hand heals man!

YEAHH ANOTHER VIDEO

Good call on the first aid kit. I keep one in every vehicle we have, one in each tractor on our farm, and one in each of my tackle/hunting bags. The only thing I suggest doing is add a tube of Neosporin +pain relief. I really like it and it helps quite a bit. It doesn't get rid of all pain, but it makes it quite a bit more tolerable

You are right about that dateline thing. I actually listen to a podcast called park predators. Some people are evil out there. Im glad you stay safe. Makes me sleep better tonight knowing that one of my favorite RU-vidrs stays safe out making content for us. Now if you see a Sasquatch dont shoot. Just pray! Im serious too. Sounds funny but I promise you wont think so if you have an encounter out there

Hi Micah

Use 15 to 20 pound test on a bait caster and a good brand line. And you’ll have no problem at all.

Seeing the backlash cracked me up😂😂 I feel like everyone with a bait-caster can relate to that.

Hay bud love the vids quick tip walmart has a drawing save in small orange can called Prid use on catfish poke..

Happy Christmas people ;)

RIP High Adventure Drone. Safe trip to the drones in the sky. 😂

Dude! I felt the pain of that stab all the way here in Arkansas! It is NEVER fun to get poked by a catfish! A sail-cat got me once in the Gulf and it hurt for days and would still itch at times a year later!

keep up the hard work man you are the goat an ace

Feeling the pain! Darn it all! Bad things come in threes, hopefully that’s the end of it.

Hey micah I've been watching for a while. Absolutely love you bud and respect what you do. This is the first video I've watched sober as your a pleasure to see after a drink or two x much love

That crunch was so satisfying

Two things I've learned, don't dip an injury in river water (great way to invite infection) and carry a small first aid kit. Just a few bandages, a small wrap and antibiotic. Seems silly but you'll be glad you brought it when stuff like this happens! Only adds a few ounces to your pack. Mines in a dry box inside of my kayak. Don't even think about it until you need it.

Such a cool view of the truck cruising the country road.... before the crash. Played the crash in slow motion, a true trooper that drone was, filming until it hit the ground. RIP dear drone, you did not die in vain.

Dang Micah i'm sorry ab your drone :(

love ur videos keep it up

i sign in just to comment that... that catfish got you good... you always says you got a good cat fish... now its the other way around... so funny....😆😁😄

We can see it hurts like a mother trucker, with the ice bag on your hand we can see your hand shaking like a leaf. I hope your hand is alright and that it won't affect you later on. First the drone, then caught that piggy, and now getting pricked by the barb. It's like the world felt bad, gave you the fish, and finished up with "HEHA! PLOT TWIST! Have fun with that ❤".................. 🙁😢 thank mother nature for her ability to fabricate a better movie than hollywood haha 😂😂

I love your channel bro I look foward for your uploads everytime awesome high adventure all the time livin the dream .. fish on

hi Micah love your content keep up the grind bro

Right on man! Looks like a ton of fun. As always, thanks for the vid! 🤘🏼🎣

I guess that eater blue got the last laugh lol

So glad you are doing okay be careful out there Youngblood

I’m just glad you keep yourself so well protected because people are crazy

As always awesome video! Made me forget that i am a little sick, but my thumb started to have sympathy pains lol hope it heals well! God bless and your family!

Man, I love your videos. Keep making them! They're definitely worth watching. I've learned a lot from you.

If I could like this video several times you’d get em from me brotha ! Always love hearing you pray for you meals. I was taught the same ! AMEN

the explaining why you need a bait caster for bass while undoing a birds nest is prolly the best part of my day! Hope your hands ok man love ya!❤

And he’s back at it again! I hope your hand gets better along with my flu

Great video as always! So sorry you got hurt. Hopefully it didn't get infected and it's healing. The scooter looks so fun! You are so right about breakfast hitting different camping! Merry Christmas to you and your family Micah! Many blessings, Trina

Congrats on your first time getting stuck by a catfish 🎉 but trust me stingrays hurt way worse

Micah back with another banger! Happy holidays! 🎄

Thanks great video 🤙

Micah said “my woods progressively getting larger and larger” yeah buddy it be like that sometimes😂

Just a cooking tip: You should not add oil to pasta water but salt instead, oil will cause the sauce not to adhere as well to pasta in final product. Salt will help pasta not stick together.

once again, Micah going all out and making this absolute banger! great vid!

Enjoyed!

happy holidays to you & your entire family Micah 🎄🎅

Been barbed by a catfsh myself as well, not a fun experience. Great video as always Micah! loving the bass content

Great video

Awesome video

Feel better.. prayers your way kid.. 🙏🙏🙏

Love the vids Micah! I took a catfish spine in the meat of my hand a few years ago... them things hurt man. There’s no venom or anything like that in them, but it’s the mucus from their slime that your body reacts to. You did everything right though for sure. Especially throwin’ that guilty catfish on the fire! Lol God bless my friend!

Hey Micha, the next time you want to use chicken breast marinate then in two packets unsweetened black cherry kool-aid. Your videos are awesome and I can't wait til your new ones drop .😂

One thing people don't know about is a sign of blood poisoning is if a purple steak shows up/forms from the injury sight upward (toward the heart/body). That's when you know you slacked on cleaning that wound up. Rinse well with clean water, trying to get it into the wound, and of course hydrogen peroxide and/or alcohol towelette, dry it off, antibiotic cream, then make sure it's as dry as possible and apply either a good bandage, or gauze sized down to match the wound area.

Glad you healed up from your injury. The rash on your arm was your system flushing the poisons out to heal you hand.

food looks great i need 2 try that

I love your videos I love how you love fishing but most importantly I love how you love the lord may God bless you and your family keep up what your are doing

Hope your hand is all good. Those suck especially in that spot. I've had a couple like that with the same reaction. Hurt like a B. Great video

Wind can effect a bait casting reel aslo setting the drag properly makes all the difference in the backlash! As for the string type I'm not to sure on that. I only use a bait casting reel once and awhile and I use mono as well. What is everyone's preference there?

Smashing it again! any chance of a joint venture with Ace? if you can tear him away from Momma..

They amount of catfish barbs ive had in my hands.. i felt your pain immediately. But also kinda chuckled at some of your reactions to it.

From my experience baitcaster works really well with braided line with a leader, never snap on me unless it's a really big fish and my braided line only 25 pounds

@ 45:37 That's what she said. Kidding aside, you don't want mono on that baitcaster. Straight fluorocarbon or braided line with a fluorocarbon leader is the best way to go. I know a lot of guys hold on to the old school train of thought, that you need to start with fluorocarbon before you put on braid. But that's not necessary anymore or even really practical. All your spools come with cut outs; you can use to tie your brain onto the spool with for a connection that's superior to an FG knot from fluoro to braid.

No crying in catfishing! LOL Hope your hand is ok!

Micah: My wood is progressively getting larger and larger 😂😂😂

Glad that stove opens up

I feel your pain big time!! Been nailed by them several times. Had to put head between legs was so nauseous!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigghhhh Adventureeeee Merry Christmas bro !!!!!! dude that intro music hit hard like a longbow crit followed by a 2hd rune sword ahah i guess thats a type of combo thing that would wreck any drone ahah sorry thats a bummer man maybe if tha drone punescape'd it could of countered tha barrage eh? ahah greta video kudos on the catch man Stay Golden and God Bless take care yall !

I add a splash of wine and top with fresh basil 👍🏽

Hey Micah. I personally like using about 15 pound mono on my bait caster with a medium/heavy rod. But 90% of the time I'm going after large mouth bass and catfish with it.

In my 20 years of using bait casters (by no means an expert tho) I’ve always had the best success w braid and second to that fluorocarbons. Mono was always a pain on bait casters.

I love these highhh adventures!!! 👆👆👆

You and your brother need to do some more salt water fishing with your dad

just as im making food :D

ouch. I have been snagged by the gill spines and fin spines of fish before. It sucks for sure. the spaghetti sauce you made looks amazing. One tip for the noodles. Do not add oil to the water. It does nothing, and should any linger on the noodles, the sauce does not coat the noodles very well. Pretty much, you just scoop the noodles straight from the water and into the sauce to finish cooking, which infuses the noodles with the sauce flavor. Also, a little bit of the noodle water can really add some creaminess to the finished dish.

Trash the mono. I have a lot of casting reels and none of them have monofilament line on them. Braid performs so much better. Backlashes are generally easier to untangle. I've used several different braided lines and have settled on suffix 832. All of them out perform monofilament hands down. The main thing is to spool it tight! There are a few good you tube tutorials on the subject. Try it you'll like it. 😊
