Kayak Camping down near the Pensacola pass. Enjoyed catching fish with the cast net and exploring the abandoned Fort McRee was a highlight of the trip. The storms were pretty good too!

Haha, got to figure out how to always have fun!
Love the videos Trip! You crack me up dude. Boo yah! Lol! After watching several of your videos I've been inspired to purchase my own kayak and go on a few camping adventures of my own. Take care brother and I'm looking forward to the next video!
+JTFireman24 Glad you enjoy them JT. That's awsome man! What kayak did you decide to go with? Should have some more videos soon, thanks for watching and commenting!
+SailingandSuch I haven't made a purchase yet. I'm still trying to decide what style/brand I want to go with but I am standing in Academy Sports looking at gear as I'm typing this!
+JTFireman24 Lol, have fun making a decision. Don't count out buying used.
I love your enthusiasm and your willingness to learn. Much respect.
Thankya!!!
You inspired me. Just finished 51 miles over 3 days on the Tallapoosa River (Tallassee to Wetumpka) with 4 other friends. It was a good time.
+MattC115 That's so cool Matt! Happy to hear that bud. I'd like to go up there and do a trip. I probably will this fall/winter.... Glad you all had a good trip. Now just go ahead and plan your next one and make it happen!
I really love your attitude when things don't go the way you want them to. Sometimes the most memorable experiences are the less than perfect ones. If I only had a nickle for every time that happens... I absolutely love your videos and thanks for keeping me motivated to get out there.
Got to have a good attitude! I agree with you 100%. Glad you enjoy the videos! Stay motivated! Get out there!!!
Awesome! congrats on the fish. Looking forward to your next adventure. It's fun to tag along. Thx
Thanks Chris! It was a treat for sure. I'm looking forward to it as well, shouldn't be to long. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Finally an 1:00:00 vid thats worth my time, i love the long videos
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching and commenting bud!
+SailingandSuch no problem
Great video Trip. I was just looking at google maps the other day at this location. I've camped at Fort Mcrae when I was a kid a dozen times but I was in a tent. Now that I'm a hammock hanger I couldn't remember if there were any trees to hang from, so I was planning a scouting trip there. Now I don't have to, so thanks for that brother.
+Jaxx Drinkwater Thanks Jaxx!!! It's a great place to do some yakking for sure. There are several trees around the fort itself that would be great for hanging. I chose to camp away from it in hope to have less bug issues. Hope you have a good trip!
You are living the dream. Love the videos. Boys did about 4 miles on the Pea river this weekend. Can't wait till my kayak get here. Keep it up man, good job.
+SailingandSuch Ordered 2 Ocean Kayak Prowler Big Game II's for me and my wife. The wait is killing me.
Oh nice!!! Have fun with those bad boys!
YESSSSS SO HAPPY AND EXCITED TO SEE A NEW VIDEO
+Jeremy Handzel Haha! Glad to hear that Jeremy!
Maybe one of my top 3 videos. Great job Trip.
Thanks Larry, this was a great trip....
we called it Ft. McCrae (McRee) Mosquito/sand-spur cove. I've been boat camping tent camping, scalloping, crabing, floundering, diving there for 25-30 years. I just turned 40. I can remember two tug lanes, one eastbound south of the sugar bowl (roberts Island) one west bound north of the island created to deepen the pass etc obtw years ago...
Cool Patrick! Great area despite the bugs lol
BOOM!!!!!! The hits just keep on coming!!! great stuff brother!!
+Textheinfidel Ha! Glad you think so. Thanks!
Glad to see a new video man. You've inspired me to try one of these overnight kayak trips on the Potomac up here in Virginia.
+shane keady Me to! lol How cool! Hope your trip goes well. Remember, if you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong!
we used to call that the steel jetties, an old railroad dock from back in the day
on an even tide you can clean up on anchors, lures, line, rope etc
That's interesting! I need to remember that if I revisit!
Great message about the need to stay in shape! Really loving your videos. Just starting to get into kayaking but I’ve loved the outdoors forever and you are inspiring me to seek my own adventures on the water! Keep them coming.
Yes sir! Glad you are enjoying them Ninja! Get Out There!
Coming along with that castnet. There are several ways to throw one and the one you have is about average size. You can go bigger after you master it a little more. Couple of tips. Try to cast only when you see bait. You will wear yourself out quickly casting in dead water. Never cast where you are not sure of the bottom. I've lost more than one net to underwater obstructions. Always cast with the sun in your face, otherwise the net throws a shadow and the bait will be gone when the net hits the water. Good video.
+robertintexas Yea, I was thinking a larger one would be nice in the future. Great tips! I especially can see the one about facing the sun, makes perfect sense! Much appreciated!
what a great adventure. you are makin it happen. thanks for this video
It was fabulous! Glad you enjoy it!
Great vid! Well worth the wait! And you finally bagged a fish!
+steven dyer Thanks Steven! Finally huh?
Trip, I just recently found your RUclips page and watch the Suwannee river trip. I took the wife out on a recent kayak trip and she is hooked!! As i live in Pensacola, i just recon the same area for a camp trip. Saw some red fish and drum in the area and can't wait till the trip!! Keep it up!!
Oh cool! Glad you found the channel! Hope you Get Out There soon!
Love your videos and your adventures!! Keep them coming and stay safe!!
Thanks Ken! Much appreciated! I'll keep them coming!
Awesome video production Trip! Looked like you had a fun time.
Thanks Dog! It was a blast!
So great to see parts of Florida. Prince Edward Island Canada here. Another great video Trip. Just supped up today and watched several vids already. Great stuff!
Glad you enjoy it Jerry! That's a ways up there lol Thanks for subscribing, hope you enjoy the rest of the videos!
It made my day to see you uploaded a video. Keep up the good work man!
+Joshua Thacker Awesome! Happy to make your day my man! Thanks for the comment!
Wow, you really keep it real. Love that you show the whole trip. Successes and failures. I am an Upper Midwest boy, and you do stuff that le up here. I'm going to have to take trip down that way and try out some snorkeling, sea kayaking, and net casting. Thanks a ton for posting your videos.
Keep it real? Absolutely! This isn't "reality tv" lol Glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks for watching and I hope you can make your way down here one day soon.
Thank you for posting.
+Emanuel B You betcha!
Great video as always, Trip. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to the video of the trip your wife joined you on. I hope she enjoyed it. It's always a plus when your spouse can enjoy a hobby with you. God bless.
+Kevin Fayard Hey thanks Kevin! I'll keep the camera rolling bud. You know, I didn't do as much filming on that trip. It's tougher when someone is with me and even more tough when they need assistance. I haven't looked at the footage yet but I realized fairly soon into the trip that I wasn't doing very good filming..... She did enjoy it but it wasn't what she expected lol God bless!
Awesome video Trip! You have brightened a damp day in England!
+Dan Mallett Fantastic! Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching Dan!
Awesome job! Looked like a fun time.
Thanks Macky! It was certainly fun. Thank for watching!
@sailingandsuch Hey Trip I just wanted to thank you for all the videos you have been making! They are great. You actually had inspired me to give kayak camping a shot, and it was a blast! I just got back from a three day float down the Brazos river out in east Texas. I went with one of my oldest friends and it was both of our first time on the river and it went great, the scenery is amazing and the camping spots are pretty good as well. You have converted the both of us from backpacking. Thank you again!
Hey Kev! Thanks for taking the time to write such a great comment. I'm very happy to hear that my videos inspired you to get out there and enjoy. You're hooked now my man! Yep, I was a convert from backpacking as well. Never looked back lol Happy for you! Be sure to pass along a little inspiration yourself :)
Love your videos! Thanks for inspiring a newbie at 52 to stay in the kayaking game....God Bless!
Glad you enjoy them Michael! Glad you've been inspired man, love hearing that! God Bless!
so happy you put out another video.
+Ross George Me to Ross. Thanks for watching and commenting!
No problem. A group of guys from work are doing a 3 day trip on the Allagash river in ME.
Sweet man, hope yall have a blast!
I stumbled onto your channel a few days ago and I am really diggin it!! I come over to your channel after work like I'm catching up on episodes of my favorite TV show. Keep up the awesome adventures!!
Awesome Doug, glad you like it! Thanks for watching Doug and I'll keep the camera rolling!
Yes new video! Been waiting for this
Yep! Headed out this morning to start the next adventure in the rain lol
Just getting to this one Trip. Glad I've had the time to catch up on your videos. This was a fun time and fun to watch. Enjoyed that you filmed the prep for bad weather. Gives some of us that are just starting a chance to learn before we get into that situation.
Mullet looked good. Views of nature were awesome. That bird you gave the mullet to is your friend for life..lol. Thanks for filming the details.
Got a good laugh when you were talking about plans for the little mullet and then changed to "I'll let it go"..lol. Take care man. Look forward to seeing the next adventure.
Happy to hear you've got some spare time Joe! Yea, I try to film the good and the bad if I can. lol The bird was a fun bonus, I was glad he was around. Sometimes you have to laugh at your silly mistakes, I laugh often.....
I love all your videos! They make me want to get out on my Kayak and go camping! Thank you for producing awesome videos, keep it up!
Thanks Nick! Do it! Get out there and go! You will only regret not ever going.... You're very welcome, I'll keep the camera rolling.
I used to live in Destin. Get a Cajun popping cork with a pearl DOA shrimp with about 20 inches of fluorocarbon leader. Trust me, you’ll get either speckled trout or redfish on it.
Sweet! thanks for the info!
Glad you catch fish this time buddy.. nice
+Elijah Fresnillo Meeeee to! lol Thanks
TRIP! I have been waiting so long to see this one! Great show! Always the best videos. Love the jimmy buffet playing at 49:02 hope to see more videos soon
-Henry Schneider

Thanks Dogg! ATV camping, that sounds fun. I've rode pretty much all my life. Miss my banshee and my LTR 450.... Do it! Hope you decide to go for it my man. It's certainly a great experience!

Booya!! Great video! Keep them coming..
+Aaron Brinkman Booya!!!! Will do Aaron!
Tip for the the live fish man when you hook them go up through the bottom lip and out the top lip closing the mouth completely the fish can still get oxygen forced thru his gills when you real
Him I’m keeping it alive rather that dragging backwards against his gills killing him bait will last longer . Also predators use the element surprise to catch food if the fish is always returning to you facing you you have a better chance of catching a predatory fish also.
Thanks for the tip!!!
nice job man keep up the good work
+jshd1986 Will do, much appreciated!
YESSSSSSS!!!!! Day made.
+logan brehm YESSSSSSS!!!!! Love doing that for people!
well done trip you caught a fish 😁
Finally!
that very nice place
beautiful, looks very good
to have fun there, thank you for
to share
It was a great place for sure. Thanks for watching.
Great vid Trip
Thanks Alan!
Love the videos man keep it up
+jonah Silas Thanks jonah! I appreciate that!
just ordered a red longsleeve!keep makeing great videos brother!
+ryan bodinger Good deal. Got you down for the Forrest Green. I'll be ordering today or Monday so should have it soon. I'll keep the camera rolling! Thanks!
Trip, I'm planning my first hammock camping trip on the Kayak this summer, going to hit an isolated mountain lake on the GA and SC border that is completely uninhabited. You should tag along, Lake Tugalo.
Oh sweet! Wish I could.... My schedule is looking... Unpredictable? More on this in a later video (maybe)
Its a steel leader you clip a weight on the bottom clasp and the hook on the upper. Its steel so the fish dont bite through the line. I'm about to hit the subscribe button myself I'm low on funds so I'm getting a inflatable kayak to see how well i am at it, your videos are great and I am inspired so mission accomplished! keep up the good work.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks for subscribing!
Glad you were inspired! It doesn't matter what you are out there paddling in, just as long as your paddling! I'll keep the camera rolling my man, thanks!
Nice spot and even caught a fish.
Take care,
Al
Great spot! Thanks for watching!
I'm starting to work thru these,"Epic" adventures Trip! Love them! I used to be stationed in Ft Rucker Alabama back in the early 90's so I recognize a lot of the area there. Miss those white sandy beaches and greenish aqua colored gulf waters. Thanks for the inspiration! Atb Sean
Haha! Glad you are going back and watching them, there are quite a few good ones ;) Oh cool Sean, yep I know Rucker well..... Hope you take heed and Get Out There bud!
I'm always out on the water there. I live on the naval air station, and it's like paradise there.
Oh cool! Yep, you are right there in paradise! Great area.....
SailingandSuch I've been near where you went in the video, but always on the beach across from where you camped. There are usually big redfish where you went, as well as some nice blue crabs.
Awesome! You know, I was disappointed not to see many blue crabs. They are one of my favorite things to cook over the fire, I really look forward to catching them. Something must have been off... Oh well, I'll just have to go back!
+SailingandSuch you should, this time of year you can't escape the blue crabs. if you bring a piece of uncooked chicken, and put it on your line, the crabs will grab on to it and won't let go. this way is a lot easier than catching them in a net.
I'll have to try that method. I've been told about it and even brought chicken necks with me once but they were so easy to catch with the net I never tried lol I need to....
Great video!!
+R Journey APpreciate it Journey!
Great video man!
Preciate that Simon!
Great video once again!! If you want to try a really neat camping chair. Try the Eno Lounger, I just recently ordered one and it is super comfortable!
+Cameron Davis Thanks Cam! I've seen that lounger before. A little big and bulky to take on a kayaking trip I think... Haven't sat in one or tried to pack one so I could be wrong.
+SailingandSuch it is a bit big for a kayaking trip, however it is doggone comfortable
+Cameron Davis I could imagine it being extremely comfy lol
I feel like I'm telling you something you already know, but bush craft videos have great survival techniques for outdoor camping like your doing.
+Phillip Torres (45Bandit) Hehe, yea I've seen some bushcrafting. Most of the time I just think to myself "Isn't there a simpler way to do it? Like a lighter?" I have a hard time watching them to be honest lol
Just randomly saw this video and I love all this content. Got me hooked and I'm hitting that subscribe button! Keep up the great videos
Awesome! Glad you enjoy it and thanks for the sub. Hope you enjoy the future videos as well!
I was just in Dothan at Robs Place. You got brought up! Man I live in Mary Esther. You’re a oegend
Another great vid. Love the beaches on the panhandle. Also liked the use of google maps on this adventure
Thanks! I love the beaches to, hard to beat them. Glad you enjoyed it!
New to your channel this is the first video I watched I subbed. Good content
Hey thanks for subscribing! Lots of good stuff to catch up on before the next adventure. Hope you enjoy!
Looked like a blast Trip!!!!
+WoodenCreationz It was! Thanks for watching bud!
Next time your out there. look up using a popping cork and d.o.a shrimp. good for speckle trout and red fish
I've heard of that, but never had one. I'll have to see what I can find. Thanks Danny!
The reason your reel was tough to turn is because it's probably got sand and salt in it: I've ruined several reels before I realized you have to really rinse them down with a hose pipe after each trip
Yea, I think you are right again lol I've got to get on top of this stuff lol
Love the Florida videos brother!
+Blake Hunniford Meeee To!
+Blake Hunniford Good eye man. yea, to bad. I was thinking I could use it for sting rays as well.... Next time...
at 2:47 that is a good fishing spot for flounder and sheeps head
Gotcha Landan. Thanks for the tip bud!
We catch mullet on rod n reel. They love corn and sweet peas on black cork.
Ha! That would be fun!
those were two mullet, trip. with salad and bread, enough for dinner!
For sure!
Love your channel! I'm from lower Alabama and I'm just getting into camping and kayaking.....nice to see locations that I could potentially go to!
Glad you enjoy the video. Hope you plan a trip soon, you'll have a blast!
Another great adventure as usual. I heard my shout out, dude, get those Croc's, I think you will like them. Good tossing on the net as well. Next time, cut those mullet into chunks with a weight and throw them out on the bottom and wait. Something will come along that wants meat. Even a small shark would be tasty.
It was certainly a fun one once the thought of storms came into being. Ordered the crocs! Can't wait to give them a shot. Ok, sounds like a plan with the mullet, I'll go for that. Shark meat would be incredible! Glad you were able to watch and thanks for the tips.
Love your videos man
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
another great video dood
+BFG 101 sweet dood! Glad you enjoyed it!
Boooyaah! Moment @ 7:33
Great vid trip! Your video's are good for the soul sir
