Tim Harrell - Browning Recon Force Advantage Trail Camera Pickup 

Glad you're ok! I'm surprised you don't encounter more gators and snakes in the water.

You did NOT ruin the episode! I'm just glad you are ok. I'm outside alot and I have happened upon a few gators. Not to this extreme. They blend into everything. You should research how to survive a gator attack because we all know you aren't gonna stay out of the swamp. I'm not either but I do, as do you, understand the risk. You must of barfed after all those fight or flight hormones! We are glad you are ok Tim. Thank you for your amazing videos and the milky way pictures too!

Whoooo! I think I'd leave that camera there from one dry season to the next. The heck with things I can't see underwater. Wow!

YIKES, i swear ive thought about the gators in every one of your swamp camera pickups, and again was just thinking to myself "i wonder if theres gators in the area". Glad your ok Tim!

Tim , Better the tripod the one of your legs. It's no fun in any shape , form or manner. Paddling the Okefenokee Swamp & about 8 miles from the boat ramp when we hit a submerged gator and he flipped the canoe. Bill and I were in water & mud with that gator. We could not touch bottom and eventually found a submerged log about 5 feet under the surface to support us. Fortunately the gator went away from us or so we assumed. About 15 minutes later some fisherman returning to the boat ramp found us and pulled us into their boat. They said something about we were the largest catch of their day when asked if they caught anything. lol

Dang bro, glad you're ok. Dangerous stuff down there. Stay safe.

So glad you're okay... there's no way I would be stomping around in that kind of a swamp. You are braver than me... I have to ask about the big cat on February 23rd who stopped right in the middle of the camera's View and took a potty break. For the next month-and-a-half you had all the animals stopping by to smell that same spot... From a family of raccoons to Bears to everything that went by. Must have been some strong stuff... Mark that territory! 😆

Your a brave man Tim, and I can't believe the beauty of that land. It's spectacular footage 💯🙏

Wow, I've followed your trail camera episodes from the very beginning and loved them all. This one was a thriller, I've often wondered about alligators and cotton mouths with you rambling thru water all the time like you do. Now I know. My parents lived between the coast and Appalach River and I rambled and saw many of the same animals and many rattlesnakes and alligators. I'm an old lady now and live in N. Ga. but I still ramble and track animals. Lots of wildlife here also

I am such a fan of Tim and all his trail cam picks. I get so much enjoyment from watching. Thank you so much for bring us along on your adventures. I love it.

My wife and I are always at the edge of our seats watching you walk through the water. We don't relax until your on dry land. I can't imagine doing what you do. You a brave! I live in southeast North Carolina and I won't even walk to the edge of our swamp in summer. The gators have way to much energy this time of year. I don't trust them until December or even January if it's been a warm fall early winter. I saw them at Thanksgiving in a snowflury just hanging on the swamp edge. Please be safe you've become a friend through your videos.

Tim I have dreaded this day for you for a long time. I could feel your fright in the video. You are a very lucky person and I am so happy you are ok. If you decide to put cams in other places besides the swamp I will always watch. As our parks are public I see no reason why they can tell you not to put your cams out. But whatever you do I will always be your fan and watch your videos. God Bless

20:10 OMG!! 😱 That bear sneaking back around to get the camera made me jump!! 😱 As if the gator encounter wasn't enough. 😲

You gave me a heart attack. Be safe out there. The orchids look like little men in hats dancing. Beautiful.

Thanks for sacrificing life and limb ( and overzealous law enforcement yokels) to bring us quality trail cam videos. You never cease to surprise! Thanks

Glad you are ok!

Please take care. It's been a tough couple of years. I don't want to see the headline "Wildlife Photograph Eaten By Big-A$$ Gator" Seriously, your videos helped get me through the hardest days of the lock down & I'm still thrilled when I see you've posted a new one. I love the animals & the beautiful orchids & love you for sharing them with us.

Oh wow man! Be safe. The walks in and out always have me on high alert thinking something is going to pop out

We are so glad that you are safe!

Tim - I know how scary that can be. I grew up in Florida but live out West now. Couple years ago was trail running before sunrise and came right up to a cougar coming around a blind turn. Took me a long time to get comfortable again. Keep at it buddy!

I appreciate the effort you put forth to make these amazing videos. I'm glad you didn't get hurt, rather the tripod than you.

Oh Tim! My heart was in my throat during this video. I have always worried about the snakes/gators as you trudge through the water. Stay careful mister--and hope you can get another tripod real soon.

Tim, I always worry about you when you're out in those wet areas in Florida. So glad you're OK. The tripod can be replaced, but you are irreplaceable.

Glad you are okay. I've always been concerned that you go alone into the woods, swamps, etc. I was surprised to see that dog run through. 🥺

Wowsa. close call 4 sure... need a buddy system on these adventures.....Dang had me jumping out of chair at that bear swipe ;)

We are ALL glad you survived the GATOR 🐊encounter. Sorry you lost the keychain flashlight from your sister. Took the time to thank retro51 for helping you out. Will keep an eye open for another keychain flashlight, if I find one, I'll send it to you. Keep doing what you DO 💛

God bless you tim, glad you made it brother.

So glad you made it out safely!

Tim I’ve been watching since you first started and really enjoy your wildlife vids over all others.

OMG Tim, stay safe. I worry about you! I'll never forget mama gator and the lens hood. But great video and I'm watching them all and the ads too :)

Wow! That was a very close call Tim! Glad the gator only bit your tripod!!

So much for a drama-free episode!

Please stay safe. But that tripod saved your life. Thank you for bringing us so many animal videos.

Good evening Tim Woa that was close glad you made it out safe brother. Always like seeing the wildlife ❤️ the panthers are always my favorite Take care Always my friend 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Even a wizard carries a walking stick

OMIGOSH, Tim!!! I’ve always been afraid for your safety from alligators! I’ve trekked in Florida, and there’s all kinds of things that can harm you, but alligators are the worst. Thank goodness it was your tripod that took the beating and not you!! 😱

OK, how many of yall jumped when the bear hit the camera? (raises my hand)

Glad you are okay. The tripod probably saved your life. Hope the government agencies don’t completely shot down all of your places to film. Love seeing your videos. I’m a paraplegic now and can’t get out in the woods like I used to. Your videos allow me to enjoy being in the woods once again. Thanks us much for your time and effort to bring them to us.

I enjoy your videos but have always thought your nuts being out there. I hope that dog was with someone and not lost in that mess.

An amazing orchid!

Yay!!! So excited to see you uploaded! These always make my day when I see them pop up in my feed. They never disappoint whether we get to see the wildlife or not! I love the saying it is not the destination it is the journey as that is so fitting for these videos. I truly enjoy watching your journey to getting the footage for us.

Wow, this is a fabulous video!!! The orchids take my breath away!!!! Thank you so much; I'd never be able to experience this kind of wonder without you, brilliant!!!!

OMG ! Tim im so glad yr ok from that alligator scare. U are Still the Bravest Guy Ever! I swear I dont see how u do it. Another Awesome Video. Thanks ! U sorta put yr life on the line for this one.

Wow that was scary glad you’re ok…

Nice to come home to anew video, thank you sir.

OMG! How terrifying for you! I'm so glad you are okay. You are lucky it was a tripod leg and not your own, and you didn't ruin anything. That was a near death experience. I have always worried about you walking through the water like that.

Wowza!! I've often wondered about gators while you're walking around in those swampy areas. This was absolutely frightening to watch; I cannot imagine being you. Excellent footage of flora and fauna!!! Keep it up and most of all STAY SAFE!!!

@20:05 omg! jumped out of my skin!

It really ticks me off that the natural areas that belong to the people are regulated so that you can’t even take natural pictures. Trail cameras are the least intrusive method of taking wildlife pictures

always so happy to see a new video of yours! That was a close call, glad you are alive!

Happy New Year Tim! Love your videos. So happy to see you back. Be safe. Mahalo.

Another good video! Wow it’s very swampy there! I thought we had a lot of rain in the UK 😂

Big cypress is beautiful but so is big gum swamp in the Osceola national forest.

That’s a bit bothersome to me to have seen a dog running through there. Makes me feel so sad for the dog. You dodged a bullet with that gator. It was terrifying.

I really enjoy watching your videos i'm an avid outdoorsman in ga and I love seeing the black bears and especially the Panthers keep up the Awesome work

WOW ! Glad you are O.K.

That's pretty amazing how that bear circled back and mock charged the camera. Now getting back to important thing's am surprised that this is the first time you've had an encounter with a gator that tripod saved your life.

I don’t really know what else you would expect walking through a damn swamp, man.

I’m glad you know what you’re doing in those area’s. Whew, your run-in with that blasted gator would call for some strong nerve tonic when you get back home. At least those surprise gator encounters are very, very rare for you. Thank you for your daring nature to do your work that we all can enjoy! Be safe Tim.

Definitely a one of a kind video! I watch everything you post and there is none like this one in all the years of great videos that you have brought to us. Thank GOD that you were not hurt (or worse) by this incident. Thank you for all that you do, including the beautiful ghost orchids that you show!

No apologies needed sir. We all love your work!!

OMG! Tim, that's a wake-up call, honey! Watching you go through the water has scared me every time. It's not worth losing you! Please stop taking these chances with your life. God bless you, Tim. I'm so glad you got out of that.

Stay away from the duckweed!!!😬 First thing I learned after moving down to Florida, if there is standing water - there could be gators! I once saw a small gator in a flooded ditch beside the convenience store not far from my house. Those suckers are hard to see even in clearish water.

Oh Dear Lord Tim!!!! Thank God you're ok!!! I'm so sorry you had that experience. OMG ~ I can't even.... Outside of your harrowing experience, this was another great video. Those Ghost Orchids are Ah-Mazing. I never would have seen or known about them, if it weren't for you. Great mix of critters too. Please, take good care of you! You're the only Tim we have. xo

WOW!! What close call, stay safe Tim. All these awesome animal videos are not worth your life, of course I'd miss them if you no longer did them but safety first. You might not have anything to worry about, with the damage he did to your tripod he may not have any teeth left. 😁

You said it, YOU WALKED AWAY, CONGRATULATIONS BUDDY! 🐊

Be careful out there. Especially while wading in water. Too bad they are giving you a hard time about trail cameras. I enjoy your videos. TY MH

Love your videos and glad you're okay. Was that someone's pet pittie dog running through the woods? It had a collar and what looked like a tag.

Back in the sixties during my Kodachrome days I never hiked through the swamps without my .357. Moccasins and gators were always a constant. My photo shoots traversed some scary areas. Be safe Tim and most importantly be wise. We enjoy what your are doing. God Bless!

Whoa that was epic❤😮

Wow too much of a scare. After being scared for you that bear jumping the camera made me jump. Take care. Love the orchids.

It's very dangerous down there... Be careful.

Glad all worked out safely. I hope Manfrotto came to the party!!

Sorry, Tim, and happy you are ok. We hope you can keep going in the swamp.

Have u tried dragging a magnet through the water hopefully the keys are made of steel or keyring itself????

Wow!!! I felt your anxiety!!! I don’t know if I could have walked out of there! They would find me up a tree which would be my new home because I couldn’t have moved!! Tim, are you related to the Harrells from Memphis Tn?

Glad you are okay Tim!

Tim, this was a SCARY episode! So glad you are okay. Equipment can be replaced, but you can't. The Ghost Orchids were beautiful!

OMG! That was terrifying for me to hear about , I can’t imagine how you felt!😱

Glad you are okay 🤗🙏

The Palm Beach County authorities who seized Tim's trail camera & are building a case against him apparently do not realize what a fantastic ambassador Tim Harrell is to the swamps and off-trail places in that county. They need to review Tim's channel before going any further. If anything, they should seek ways to work with Tim. Not against him..... That dog out all alone in those woods deeply saddens me. I hope his owner is nearby, but why do I think he is not? I hope the guy made it out okay. The gator attack is just awful to contemplate if he had gotten ahold of you, Tim. Please, please, for this loyal audience, rethink or come up with a new way of approaching these waterways you wade in. Please.

Did the Deputy say that you violated any laws or statutes? Also, I am a little surprised this is your first encounter like that with an alligator. If you watch "Something Bit Me" on the Nat Geo channel, the episode "I Went Bonkers…" features a friend of mine bitten and sent to the hospital by a gator in the Corbett area.

Wow, I am so sorry you has such a terrifying experience. I could hear in your voice just how frightening it was. I admire your courage to go out in the swamp! You got moxie, Sir! Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad you're okay. I would have been shaken up as well. I hope you have friends that can wet walk with you in the future.

Great video!!!! A couple of those panthers were nice and well fed!!

That orchid looks like a white Fairy 🧚‍♂️

man I'm glad you made it thru that sorry about your tripod better it than you though enjoy your videos

Plz be careful Tim! I lived in Florida for 18 yrs, Bradenton Beach. Now live in Northern Michigan. I Love your video's stay safe.🙏

Tim so glad your angel was super vigilant that day. Your videos are such a bright spot in my day and I have just the utmost respect for you going out and doing what you do. Please stay safe.

Wow, glad you're safe. Not sure I would venture out in a swamp with gators. Ever run into any pythons? Take care. 😊

Tim, Tim, Tim. Thankful that you were able to walk away from that encounter. It’s always in the back of my mind when I slip around the Louisiana swamps. I’ll be even warier because of your experience. Dang things can go from good to bad really fast. Thanks for sharing.

Tim , Walking through that type of terrain I'm surprised you haven't had a real bad expierence yet! Snakes & Gators thrive in that environment! Great Video, Be Careful!

Thank you Tim

I'm glad it was a $500 tripod that got bit and not you! You're worth WAY more than a mere $500!!! I will admit that I tense up when you wade through the swamp, but I'm always glad to see you make it to your destination unharmed. Thank you for the outstanding videos, as always. See you next time.

Great video, glad you are safe. I can only imagine how that felt. I don't know how you can walk in all that water knowing those gators are in there. Thank you for the production of another great video.

Awesome video!! Keep up the good work, Tim.

What a great company to give you that keychain!! Makes me want to visit their site and make a purchase! A great story to share. Why does law enforcement bully so much before hearing the story? OMG!!! Thank the powers that be you had that tripod! So much for the drama free stress free relaxing episode!! Bear sniffing the camera scared me!!😂 They're like 1 years olds. EVERYTHING has to be tasted.😂 Watching the ads Tim. Thank you for yet another great video. Please be careful, get another tripod and don't leave home without it!

😮 Wow Tim, That’s very scary!! Will let the ads run to replace that tripod. Take care and be safe!✌🏼

What is the reason why they don't want you to install cameras in those natural areas? What are they hiding?🤔 David Attenborough has a PBS series called Green Planet and one of the episodes is of Orchids with a special node to ghost orchids. Oh no! One of our fears as viewers for you are Gators. Very scary for you. Probably scared him as well it seems.

Good lord man.. my heart was pounding too just watching it. You should send this to the tripod brand. Bet they would be very interested, might even send you a new one
