Join us as we camped at Manatee Springs near Chiefland, Florida. We were in site #80 and we think it was one of the best ones. We biked and swam in the springs. You will even learn how to remove ticks and how to setup a primitive porta potty.

Thanks for sharing this video. I just reserved a site at Manatee Springs. I always carry a specialized tick removal tool in my first aid kit. I hate ticks! I spray our camping clothes every season with Permethrin and use Picaridin or Deet too. I know five people who have had Lyme disease.

It’s crazy how much warmer the river is. The river is black!

Thanks Joel and Amy, we are getting excited as we are going to order our Range Runner tomorrow. All the tips we get from owners are helpful 👍

Awesome! That is so exciting!!!

Vinny says the Lugable Loo also makes a fine family portrait frame . Also , he says if you see a bear with a newspaper under his arm heading towards your potty tent , do the smart thing and find a tree. Vinny is always glad to donate helpful information .

Love this park we went pre covid and actually stayed in the same spot. Its so nice there! The only down fall was the ticks.

Following you guys now! My wife and I camp Florida quite a bit! Keep up the videos!

I use cat litter for my night time potty. Works great. Never smell anything. I'm doing Manatee in September. Note to self. Don't forget the tick kit!😂

@GloriousDayAdventures 11 месяцев назад

Great tip! Enjoy your trip. We love the park, just not the ticks!

@floridaadventurecouple2245 3 года назад

Fun times watching you two as usual and thanks for sharing. I found The Tick nippers are by far the best tool to remove those little blood suckers especially when they are attached.

@GloriousDayAdventures 3 года назад

Thanks, I will look into getting some of those for the camper.

@yankeesusa1 3 года назад

We camp here every year and yes, there are a lot of ticks. The best time to go here is November to February. There are less ticks because it's colder. And now the boardwalk is now open as of a couple weeks ago.

@GloriousDayAdventures 3 года назад

Good to know about the time of year. I didn't realize ticks don't like the cold. Glad the boardwalk is back open.

@lucasagnew4613 4 года назад

It was hard watching you guys struggle. Just a few tips, tweezers for ticks go deep and get the head. Don't waste your time with the other stuff. For swimmers ear, take isopropyl alcohol, fill the ear canal, then turn head and let it drain. It will clear your ear up within 30 seconds.

@ginanicole5664 2 года назад

I love your videos! And I'm writing down all the tips and tricks and supplies for awesome camping in Florida. I am moving back next month and am actually going to do all the camping and fun adventures in Florida that I can this time around (new empty nester ;-) I am totally getting a MO!!!

@GloriousDayAdventures 2 года назад

That is awesome!

@stevearndt1120 4 года назад

Great video and ticks can be not much fun when there are a bunch of them.

@rebeccaboyette866 Год назад

A few drops of alcohol in the ear will dry up any water....it works!

@GloriousDayAdventures 11 месяцев назад

Good to know. Thanks!

@yankeesusa1 3 года назад

The best thing for ticks is a tick remover that pulls the whole tick out so it doesn't get infected. But yes, tweezers are the best option if it's all you have. And at manatee springs you should try to use tick spray for sure. In the summer this place is full of ticks. Reason we like Fort Wilderness because they spray for ticks

@GloriousDayAdventures 3 года назад

Since then, I have bought a tick remover that we are keeping on the camper. Good thing we haven't had to use it yet.

@yankeesusa1 3 года назад

@@GloriousDayAdventures I've never had a tick problem unless it's at manatee. Don't know what it is about that place

@eristicfreethinker2098 2 года назад

Have you tried spraying your shoes, socks, clothes and camp rugs and chairs with Permethrin? It will stop (reduce) ticks from crawling up on you. There are low dose Permethrin sprays for skin also but you may want to try taller socks treated with Permethrin rather than spraying yourselves. Light colored clothes, particularly socks make seeing the ticks easier which makes it easier to notice them.

@GloriousDayAdventures 2 года назад

We have some Permethrin but haven’t thought about putting on the chairs and rug. Thanks for the idea!

@claramullen 3 года назад

I use the cat litter method as well Just for solids and change it right after and throw it in the trash or if no trash disposal is available i have a bucket with lid that I store the sealed waste bags in till I can dispose of it. Urine is a simple matter men go wherever they want and women have several choices.

@leslievey8453 2 года назад

Manatee is such a beautiful place and you talk about porta potty s ?

@TheMaydayNeal 3 года назад

LMAO.....is this suppose to be "lets go camping" motivation??...lol I'm trying to get my wife to do some camping this year.....not going to show her this one.....lol. I am also interested in the runaway camper option....affordable and not sleeping on the ground. All kidding aside....you guys are doing great with your channel.....I just subscribed and look forward to your travels. Take care!!

@GloriousDayAdventures 3 года назад

Thank you! Yes, probably best to show her our other videos! That is exactly why we bought the runaway... not sleeping on the ground, air conditioning and can store it in the garage. Thanks for subscribing. We have a lot more adventures planned this year!

@elenatlnt Год назад

I got Lyme disease from there 10 years ago. Wish I never went camping there. The tics were falling out of the trees. My husband will no long go camping. Be careful with the tics

@maureeni2648 3 года назад

I have to admit , I’m freaking out a bit! Lol my husband and I are camping there in two weeks. 😧😬 Any advice on how to keep ticks off you and away? Did you guys have bug spray on? Wish us luck !! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@GloriousDayAdventures 3 года назад

I don’t think we had bug spray on. I believe there are bug sprays that help to keep ticks away. Enjoy your trip!

@2369daisy Год назад

I’ve seen your videos before and enjoy them. We were planning to camp here in April. It’s beautiful but I don’t do ticks well. 😂 Do you recommend any other state park with springs that is also dog friendly but doesn’t have the ticks? 😅

@GloriousDayAdventures Год назад

Most/all state parks are dog friendly but you cannot brings dogs any where around the spring area. I'm hoping they do something at Manatee Springs to help with the ticks. Maybe it was the time of year we were there? There are a lot of other springs that have camping but we liked this one because the spring was walking distance from the campsite. We were just at Blue Springs, north of Orlando. They had a nice spring area you could walk to from the campground.

@stevenarndt8072 4 года назад

OK, I have to ask how the bucket toilet worked out and what kind of bags were you using with it?

@GloriousDayAdventures 4 года назад

The bucket toilet actually worked pretty well but we had to change the bag fairly often cause it didn't hold much. We used the Double Doodie bags. The cheapest ones I could find were at Walmart.

@Adventureswithbecky 3 года назад

Sawdust works great too and in Florida we have tons of mills you can grab some from.

@GloriousDayAdventures 3 года назад

Jon T Snow It is a Runaway Cool Camp camper. It is 4x8 in size and perfect just for sleeping and only weighs about 650 lbs. We pull it with a Subaru Forrester. We have had it for about a year and we love it!!

Ive heard horror stories the deer ticks are unreal there at manatee springs. They don’t spray for insects and I don’t want llyme disease so that’s a no for me.guys.

@MrOppie93 Год назад

Is that a runaway camper? If so how do you like it?

@GloriousDayAdventures Год назад

Yes it is! We love it. It's the 4x8 Cool Camp. Great size to fit the two of us and store it in the garage.

@brianblock6334 Год назад

Ear candling is a joke. 100% ineffective. Burning a candle on its own produces exacty the same amount of residue in the tube as it does if you stick the cnadle in youyr ear (or butt). Research it, you'll see. Gentle heat and the miniscule vacuum burning these candles creates could not possiby draw out any ear wax. If enough vacuum were present to actually work, you'd rupture your eardrum and literally no heat is transferred down the tube and into your ear canal from the fire; that's not how fire works. Ear drops work. Q-tips work (but be careful and know how to use them correctly).

Looking forward to putting my Columbia gear thru it’s paces for my next adventure!
