A cold front went thru there when I was camping a huge pine tree fell across the fire road a spent a couple of hours cutting it up with a small hand saw to get my way out of the forest that said it was a wonderful night in the swamp my favorite place to be!
I love that site. Ron and I camped through a tornado. The weather was fine and calm. Then someone got a weather alert and sure enough the severe storm must have missed us by a 1/4 mile. Luckily it only lasted a few minutes. But that’s still my go to place to camp. Especially with the owls.
Seriously you don’t have a folding saw or hatchet to cut tree fall out of the way. Make a Lowes or Home Depot run and get one or both and throw them in the recovery box. Oh and really neat camp site. Damn mosquitoes always ruin a good time.
Dang man, pictured you to look a lot different! YT has been hiding your vids so I haven’t seen any in a few months. I’m liking the new style of video! 👌🏼
@@OverlandFlorida heard that! Y’all should make your way up to GA this time of year. This weekend is supposed to be real nice. We’re breaking out the Runaway & T4R to do some camping ourselves. Finally no rain.
I camped there in early Feb. of this year and it was awesome except for the terrible wind storm one night I was expecting to knock a tree over on me, lol. Had the campground all to myself for three nights and two days. I put my kayak in there and there are trees across the river in both directions not far away. I had another reservation to go back in late March and then COVID caused the shutdown. I'll be back sometime this fall/winter/spring but no summer camping for me, I worked out in the Florida bugs and heat for 30 years, don't need that nonsense when I'm camping, lol.
Thanks Paul. I love this little spot on the river. We always see so much wildlife here. Hopefully winter doesn't skip us this year and we have a nice cool winter to do some camping.
I'm lucky enough to have grown up hunting and fishing in the Everglades back in the sixties and early seventies that's back when Alligator Alley and 41 or two lane roads I'm 64 now and must say Florida has changed a lot and not all for the good you city boys kill me trying to camp in the woods
So, I’m fortunate enough to call these guys my friends, and I’m happy to tell you that you are making incorrect assumptions about them, where they are from, and their experiences. That said, I’ll let them defend themselves. Now, I’ve been in the background in a few of these videos myself, so I’ll address your comment as it relates to me. I’d be willing to bet that I’ve lived in smaller places than you, spent more nights camping than you (unless you are homeless), caught as many fish as you, and I’ve probably hunted and killed as much game as you. I don’t use fancy gear, and don’t need much of shit to be happy in the woods. But, I’m not mad that people go out and use all different types of equipment to try to have fun in the woods, as long it doesn’t bother those around them. Overland Florida has rigged up an a/c to stay happy and comfortable. You used Miller High Life and your sister to do the same. I’m not mad at either of you, and I think you need to quit thinking that your way is somehow superior. Live and let live bud.
Have you tried using a thermocell or 2 when you set up camp? They do work wonders for mosquitoes and sand gnats. I use them early bow season, and spring turkey hunting in the FL swamp when the mosquitoes are horrible and they do a great job
I used to enjoy spending the weekends under a dirty 4X4 pounding out u-joints, changing brake pads & gear oil and repacking wheel bearings. Not as fun anymore, I try to avoid the deep water crossings. Withlacoochee River is very nice. I'll be there this winter. Hopefully not as wet.
Great stuff man, sucks that the trip was less than enjoyable but you win some loose some I guess lol. I am waiting for you to say you havent seen any gators then have one go by in the background LOL
Took my son to Huguenot to camp overnight last month. Everything was great until the wind died down, then the gnats came out. Hit my son really bad, but we were both miserable. Bugs will ruin a good campout!
Oh I see a gun ahhhhhh I'm triggered and now I see my safe space. Joking I'm joking, this is my first video of yours and I think it's great. I lived and camped all over Florida and I'm pretty sure I've camped there. Subscribed and liked Thanks
Do not buy the version I have. The 12v socket is not regulated. So you won't get a constant 12v for the life of the battery. Meaning your device will shut off at like 60% battery because the power will drop below 12v. They corrected this problem and have a regulated plug. Now you will get a constant 12v all the way until the battery hits 0.
Before Andrew, we would go 30 miles in the swamp. Before cell phones, before GPS.. swamp buggies would roll from Alligator Alley. This is fancy camping. Natives shouldn’t need a damn permit to go down there.
Take your hammer with you because if you go camping in Florida if they see you, they will not leave you along...these off roaders will jack with you. Georgia is a better experience for campers.
