In 1991, I took a class at my college where we spent 21 days in the everglades. The only requirement to pass the class was to watch the sunrise and sunset at least once. I still remember watching both of those. Thank you for bringing back those memories.
That must have been one of those required electives. That sounds like a joke of a class but 21 days is actually a really long time. I wonder… were you looking for the swamp ape? Bigfoot 101?
@@drewandcharlie7583 I have a lifelong interest in natural history. I take university night classes, I read everything I can on the subject. I can definitely say that I was fortunate to have some teachers who introduced us young students to the natural world all around us, wherever you live. It’s all about getting people interested in natural science.
I went to small college (Defiance College) and during the month of January, you only took one class. One year I worked on cataloging items from Fort Defiance. Another year we spent 2 weeks in Mexico City. Yes, it was an awesome experience.
I loved camping on Wisteria Island back in the 80's and 90's. The hippies were coming down back then living on tank Island and Christmas Island. You could easily get into a drum circle and watch the topless chicks dancing around the fire while drinking and playing music. I loved being away from the light pollution of civilization while sleeping in a hammock and star gazing. Camping out out in the Dry Tortuga's is etched in my mind forever. The back country along the Gulf side of the Keys offers some beautiful places to camp. Thousands of islands and nobody to run you off or anything else like camping close and running a generator all night lol. Enjoy your camping and keep posting this kind of content along with your other videos. Definitely post more wreck dives spearfishing! The first one you posted was incredible. And again congratulations to you both on your upcoming wedding!!!!
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful 🤣 I always liked that bumper sticker in my days in South Miami. That and, Welcome to Miami, now go home. I left for the last time in 90. It was an absolute pleasure growing up in old Miami back in the 60-80's, and a 20 minute bike ride to Gables by the Sea, and Snapper Creek Canal. They were just building Gables by the Sea off Old Cutler Road. Great memories and you always bring back the good ones. Wisdom 13:1-9 ✌️

Iron skillet challenge! Iron skillet challenge! Iron skillet challenge! Iron skillet challenge! Iron skillet challenge! And are you going to film the wedding so we can watch? I'm sure your subscribers will want to see it. God bless Jim So Cal.😢😮😊
Love how you don’t play any music or disturb the moment, pure nature and it’s beauty & sounds. Thanks for bringing us along! What drone do you fly? Cheers 🍻
I loved camping on my Ranger Bay boat. The deck was perfect sized for a 2-man tent. I carried a tiny hibachi with me and cooked steaks, sausage, whatever we wanted over a handful of charcoal. One thing I found camping on the boat, the no-see-ums can be so terrible in those mangroves at certain times of the year that I had to move out to open water. Great Camp, Compile and Eat video!
I do warm weather camping often here in Thailand. One thing that surprisingly comes in handy is this sheet of fabric I got in Peru. I don’t know what it’s called. The Quechuan women sling them over their backs and use them to carry stuff. But it’s light and it dries very quick, packs small and is good with blocking wind. It’s a great warm camping sleeping sheet/blanket.
What does everyone do or not do about leaving the motor in saltwater over night without flushing after use? Does it even matter if it never drains out of the block?
I personally think thats one of those myths. I only flush my motors if they are going to be sitting for more than a week or so. If you run them constantly I don't think it's a big deal because water is constantly moving. My last set of mercury motors I didn't flush for 4 years but I ran them almost daily. again if the motors gonna sit for more than a few I flush. however just my opinion I'm no mechanic
I definitely got some joy from this. My husband and I are homeless and have been for a couple of years and we live in maine. So let's just say while watching I'm wearing a wool sweater and winter hat.😂 but don't fret, we have lots of help and a nice warm comfortable air mattress with lots of warm blankets and sleeping bags. Plus most of the comforts of home. Love watching you fish and cook. Lots of love for your marriage and future. ❤❤😊❤
Very nice. When camping for a few nights in Ten Thousand Islands we just hung hammocks from the larger Mangroves. One would hang nicely across that cut over the boat.
I think you should have stayed out whether there was no trees and put a big light in the water. Or on your boat to shine up. Some fish and fish night fished in the light off. Your boat caught date that's the tarpon booked a nice target
Aaron, hope this wasn't bachelor's night out. LOL JUST KIDDING. ALWAYS GET A GREAT VIBE WHEN WATCHING YOUR LIFE ON VID, HUGS TO YOU BOTH, BOB & DARLENE LITTLE.
I figure you most likely already know this, but Avon Skin-So-Soft will keep the No-see-ums off of you. Best stuff I ever used when I lived on Big Pine. Also, if you have room to do it, store the air mattress inflated, that way the foam want have memory of being rolled up which will degrade it years before its time. I have one that's almost 30 years old and works let it did when I bought it. For what it's worth. Great video, thanks.
Per your previous video, please don't take the time to reply to this comment.... But you need a haircut and a trim to your beard, you need a bigger boat, I'm a better fisherman than you, you should kill as many hogfish as allowable, lobsters are gross and you should move to Venice LA where the real fisherman live. JK- love your channel.
Done that a few times on my boat even had the lines out just in case. Caught 2 lovely muttons just as the sun started coming up. My boat is just a slight upgrade from yours; Hydra-Sports center console. Slept like a baby on the bow cushions. This video brought back good memories. 🤙
Yeah, you said they call those no-see-ums something else in other parts of the world. I like to call them 'flying teeth'! They're so big in the Bahamas they look like course ground pepper! Brutal........
Great video Aaron! That drone shot of the sunset was absolutely stunning. Can't beat camping on the water but one thing I can't stand are the no-see-ums. If there wasn't a breeze to keep them at bay, it would drive me insane!
Love your stuff dude. Love madelin. Glad your happy. Don't get married. Do a marriage ceremony to signify your commitment to each other. Marriage is marrying the government. And one of you will pay for it.
Watching your videos helps me get ideas for this project I’m working rn…I’m converting a sailboat into a skiff…so many components I don’t think of I find in your vids 🔥
Ok. I wasn’t going to the keys this winter in my trawler because I’m an old man now. But I’m buying a drone and heading south. Like you said, “it never gets old”.
Love the channel. Fantastic episod. Brought back some great memories on the Indian river. One trick I use for lighting is to put a head lamp on a gallon jug of water. Point the head lamp into the water and it defuses the light.
I’m going to the keys every year,there’s something that I can’t explain that gets into my body and soul just arriving to the overseas highway 1,it’s a magical place for me
Think i saw your twin boat tonight west of Marathon. Same setup as yours with controls up front. Good to be back down here! Headed out of Stock island Wednesday to fish.
@@WilliamFluery Yes, YOU AND MADELEINE together. As you know, zombie apocalypse’s can be pretty chaotic and unfortunately not everyone is together at the onset. When the undead are closing in, you have to go NOW!
Hey Aaron. Have you ever had that bagel with raw red onion added? I get heartburn nowadays from raw red onion but oh man I can't hold back from eating it on a lox bagel. Nom!
Love cured salmon. I've never tried any other fish for some reason. Thanks for the inspiration to try some other fish. Looked like a super chill place to crash for the night.
My husband and I are homeless in maine and I've got to tell you that I want to taste mangrove snaper so bad that I'm willing to take a bus to the keys and catch myself one and cook it. I can't take it anymore for the craving I have for it.😊
Love me some boat sleepin. Usually in the glades. I got a tent cot that really made it nice with the bugs and all. Hard to beat those early wake ups in the boonies. Good video and cool rig ya put together. 👍🏻
