- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- My 5th annual Thanksgiving dinner on the front porch of the Fakahatchee Hilton. A great day in the swamps of south Florida with plenty of wild orchids and highlighted by the sighting of an Everglades mink. I picked up a trail camera in Big Cypress National Preserve and got plenty of bears, deer, turkey, and even a couple gators.
Thanks again Tim, awesome pickup. Loved the way the clouds and blue sky looked on the Fakahatchee lake. Thanks too for naming those orchids hadn't seen those type before, really beautiful. Didn't care too much for the alligator eating the alligator, but the mink made up for it. Looking forward to your next pickup.
NEW DRINKING GAME:
Each time Tim says "Fakahatchee"...do a shot of Tequila.
I challenge anyone to make it to the end of the video...without passing-out :-))
BTW Tim...AWESOME video & THANKS.
Best regards,
Ben
Yay! I was hoping you would post your annual excursion to the Fakahatchee Hilton! Your video didn't disappoint. Man, stay away from those cottonmouths & gators! Scary!
Thanks for another Thanksgiving video from the Hilton. I'll be watching for the next one you put up; never miss one of your videos, Tim. Thanks for all you do! And, GOD bless.
why would they ban trail cams?
Bear sniff's camera, says oh I gotta mess with this guy. I'm gonna poop here and in a month I can go to Mr. Tim's website and show my cubs, Mr Tim poking my poo with a stick. He's so silly, my cubs love him.
Trail cameras prohibited? LOL. What idle bureaucrat trying to justify his unneeded job came up with that one?
Never miss a video, thanks Mr.Tim.
Love your videos and loved the orchids. Hope you had a great dinner at the Hilton. Keep up the good work Tim you have a nack for this.
Thanks so much
Tim , You were asking about E-Bikes. I got the Himiway step thru cruiser to use on the back roads ( off road ) here in Florida. The tires are Kenda 26" x 4", 20 psi. Besides the electric it's also a normal ( Shimano 7 speed ) bike. The motor is a 750 W high speed Brushless geared motor. The battery is a 48v 17.5 Samsung Lithium. The range on one charge is up to 60 miles with the peddle assist and up to 30 miles by motor only. Peddle assist is 5 levels but can be modified to 9 levels. The weight is 72 pounds without any accessories. I added the front basket to mine. The payload for the bike is 350 pounds. They say the top speed is 20 mph but mine will go 28.
I need that in my life. :)
@@ShrikeZone Honestly Tim...I believe that your subscribers would gladly donate a few bucks (each) to get ya' the E-bike.
Maybe do a video to explain your need & we can donate a few dollars to you in your PayPal.
...just a respectful suggestion.
Respectfully,
Ben
Lisa and I just watched your Trail Cam Thanksgiving special and all is we can say is WOW! Man you hit the jackpot with that Everglades Mink my friend. Loved the whole video in it's entirety. Glad you didn't get bit by that Water Moccasin! Hope you find out the troubles with your one cam. See you soon pal. Keep those great wildlife videos coming.
Thank you! The camera worked fine after I messed with it. I probably forgot to turn the dang thing on.
@@ShrikeZone I have done that a time or two. User error lol
Bro! That Mink!!!!!!!!!! He is beautiful!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Tim you are the best! There is no way I would walk through the swamp full of gators😬
Hi Tim. Those orchids are absolutely beautiful! This is the only way I'll ever see them because I can't see myself venturing into the swamps. Seeing that mink brought back some memories for me. Back in 2008 or 2009, our 2 indoor/outdoor cats had one sort of cornered in our driveway. Having never seen a mink in person, I thought it was a ferret. Our neighbor came over and told us what it was after we put Betsy and Blackie into the house. Neighbor Bev said that minks are usually found near water and woods. We live in northern Ohio farm country and the closest creek is about a half mile away. Same with the woods. When I saw it at first, it was sort of hissing at the cats. I love your videos and I'm always so happy when I see a new one from you! Thank you so much!
Thank you Mary Ellen.
I always love your videos and worry about you wandering around alone in the swamp. You’re one brave guy! Thank you for what you do and I hope you can get an electric bike. Beautiful orchid and mink🤗🐝❤️
I appreciate that
@@ShrikeZone 🤗
Hey Tim I was clean clearing trails with the friends of the fakahachee . I didn't make it to the Hilton but I was wondering if you were going to have Thanksgiving there this year. Glad to see your new recent video you inspired me to go to the fakahachee
Awesome! Thank you for keeping the trails clear for us.
Boy! You work HARD for your videos! Thank you for your effort. Another Great video!
I appreciate that!
@@ShrikeZone We all appreciate how hard it is for you to do this. Thank you!
Definitely the best trail cam RUclips channel!
Appreciate that
Get the e-bike, again I ask you to consider monetize your channel, you are a very high quality content creator. I use Firefox ad blocker and would join as a patreon. But, I respect your reasons for no crowd funding too.
So enjoyable as always. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I appreciate you so much. May God always watch over you.♥️
I do miss going out into the swamp. Thanks for sharing
Great orchids. The mink pictures were really good. Glad it stayed around for you to get your video camera out. The gators were big. What is your best defense against them attacking you? I only ask because I don't know. Haven't got any here in the the wilds of the UK.
Thank you for posting your videos.
I don't think there is a defense if one decides to attack. Thankfully, that is very rare and I'm not worried about it.
Honestly I find you adorable.
He is but for many reasons....
State of Florida: Trail cameras prohibited.... Tim: screw you! Keep up the good work!
How exciting! My new favorite! I loved the orchids. And your capture of the mink shows you at the peak of your profession. It will be a challenge to top this one. Thank you for bringing this to us.
7,770 views and why isn’t there 7,770 thumbs up? Come on people!
Another great video!! Thank you for all you bring to us!
Happy Holidays, Tim.
Can't believe that mink was so "photogenic." They normally skidaddle right away.
Always enjoy you Tim!
I appreciate that!
Oh DEAR GOD, the cotton mouth was a bit much!!!!! LICKING IT….seriously 😳🤨
How can he lick the camera after a bear slobbered all over it? Yuck.
I want to know more about trail cameras being prohibited here. I looked on their website and there is no mention specifically about trail cameras being prohibited that I could find. Only a mention to “follow all rules posted at trailheads”. I’m afraid if these bans on trail cameras continue unchallenged we will not be able to use them anymore anywhere very soon. Tim please address this specifically in a video if you have not already. Keep up the great work and thank you Tim!
why is there law objection to setting up a trail camera ? Nice video, cool Mink. poor gator.,
Another wonderful Thanksgiving at the Fakahatchee Hilton...at least for your fans. Sorry for your troubles, but you always conquer the challenges and provide outstanding footage of the flora and fauna that is exclusive to Florida. The mink was beautiful and reminded me of my ferret. That was the first time seeing the two orchids. You do scare the poopoopeedoo out of me when I see you wading through waters that have critters that can enjoy YOU for Thanksgiving, but I'm glued to the screen. Take care, have a wonderful holiday season. Thank you and I'll see you next time.
Always clever, well edited and your sense of humor is delightful! Thank you.
Thank you Tim for your videos. Awesome
Glad you like them!
Like watching the Florida mink and listen to the crows. Pity we can’t smell the night scented plants
I was thinking of you on Thanksgiving and wondering if you were at the Fakahatchee Hilton. The mink was sooooooo cute. What a sweet critter. The orchids were beautiful. I had never seen any of them until I saw them in your videos. Thank you for all you do. Stay safe. Stay Healthy. xo
Thank you Donna
I enjoyed your commentary.
Thanks Tim, Another great video.
Thank you
A e-bike will really expand your exploration range
Thanks Brian. I did a test drive of the Pedego Element this weekend. They are very powerful and I need one!
As always, thank you for your hard work and sharing these videos. Loved the mink.
So wait . . . your saying you beat your own record but you "cant do this any more"?
LOL . . . Obviously you can and you are getting stronger in your old age.
Heck I'm 67 and I'm still getting stronger (at hiking)
I can do it, but I'd just like to make it a little easier on myself. The hiking through the water is not the problem but riding the bike on a dirt road can wear you out.
The gator attack was terrifying.
Your mink photos are breathtaking. Why in the world are no trail cams allowed?
Awesome mink footage, beautiful animal. And always love the orchids. Always look forward to the next one. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you as always.
Thank you! You too!
Those gators make me shrivel in the pants - and that's just watching Tim. Don't do anything silly just for animal videos for us.
Awesome , Hi Tim , when you licked your camera lens it reminded me when I was diving to spit in the mask to stop fogging from happening which always worked better the anti fogging crap the dive shops in Palm Beach county sold , awesome videos , Thanks Tim
Love the Clam shell orchid. Have not seen that one before. I grow orchids so always interested in the ones you find in Fl. If i had to walk through that water to get my camera i think i would leave it there for quite some time. To many bad critters waiting to meet you. Good video
Hi Tim, and hope your Thanksgiving holiday was a good one. Sorry about the camera issue and hope you get it worked out. Have you ever thought about trying some of the sub-micro Browing cameras? You can pick up the Browning Strike Force Apex for around $100 and often less. I see them for $89 and they're very durable, have really good video and audio. It's not quite Recon quality but still excellent. It and the Browning Dark Ops Apex are cameras we use often because we can afford putting a lot of them into the field. Just a suggestion. I think you would like the Strike Force.
Awesome footage and photos of the Everglades Mink. Love those awesome little creatures.
All my best wishes, and be safe,
George
Thanks George. Being that I got started being a wildlife photographer and videographer, image and video quality has always been more important to me. I'm sure the pics and video on the sub-micro cameras are good, I've always wanted the 1080p video resolution that the Recon Force cameras have being that I shoot and export my videos at 1080p. Thank's for the suggestion. I might get a couple of those sub-micro cams to use as "scouts" to check out new spots.
@@ShrikeZone Yeah, the older one would make great scouting cams. The new version "Strike Force Pro XD" I better than my Recon Advantage, Edge or the Elite HP4. Killer sharpness and sound, wider angle of view with day lens and night lens is slightly wider. Until it, I actually like the Recon Advantage... the illumination field is not as wide, but wonderful sharpness (resolution), contrast and audio.
The newer Recon cameras do have a wider illumination field because the LEDs are moved more forward giving a wider spread of light. But the broader light is softer and therefore the video has slightly less contrast. As you know from photography, harder more direct light produces better sharpness and contrast, where softer broader light is more suited for portraits and a pastel look when getting creative.
All my best kola.... 👍🏼
FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!! Oh what beautiful orchids !!!! Wonderful shot of the mink, what a chance meeting, NICE !!!!
Sorry about the notice prohibiting cameras, why is that an issue? To keep people / hunters from getting deer?
Thanks Gail. There got to be a bunch of cameras on the trails in the park. I can see how people would complain.
Half the fun of these videos is seeing how close Tim comes to getting eaten, or poisoned, every time he goes to check a camera. 😎
That looks like a Happy Thanksgiving, at the Hilton -- including mink, so very posh, this year!
So glad the snake didn’t get you or an alligator! Thank you for sharing and Happy Holidays!
Tim, I'm really appreciative of the time and effort you go to in order to present these great videos.
I would be terrified walking in any of that standing water!
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
oh my goodness- that little mink!😍🤩 what a cool sighting!
happy belated Thanksgiving. I need to go get my camera, been two months.
Your photos are marvelous! You give us time to really admire what we are looking at-- no fast "fly by photo". Thank you.
Thank you, Tim. Beautiful mink. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
we miss your videos, thank you.
Thanks for your efforts. You must love what you do.
Yes I do!
Now Tim. Chasing venomous snakes again?
You got some nice shots! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Tim! I enjoy your narration.
Happy Thanksgiving and have a Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁🌟
We need a video tour of the inside of the Fakahatchee Hilton :) Great footage as always and loved seeing the Everglades Mink!
Why are they banning the trail cams? Total bummer. Glad you have other places. We really enjoyed watching!
That sounds crazy they would ban them.
I guess the Sasquatch are complaining.
Prob all the theft? Who knows
Great to go along with you placing and checking cameras. Glad you didn’t have a run in with a Gator, a Bear or a Cottonmouth! Nice mink clips and pictures and the footage of the gator eating was interesting as well. Take care, Char😊
Great Video Tim as usual.. Omg u are still so Brave! Snakes give me the creeps! I love the tradition of Thanksgiving at the Cabin. Its Cool.. Try a Mascoto By Sutter Home its Awesome ! Thanks For Another Fun Exciting Video. I was literally Scared for U! Happy Thanksgiving!!🙋🏼♀️
Thanks Pamela. I might switch it up next year :)
EXCELLENT vids & pics of the mink!!! Great work, thanks!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Red dead flowers
Once again you posted a great video. As always I enjoyed your day. You do a wonderful job capturing scenic beauty of the everglades. Thank you for your work. It brings me so much 😊
Thank you very much!
Great video-Thank you for sharing your Thanksgiving with us
Please keep up the great work and content it’s wonderful to see you getting such great benefit from Florida’s amazing public areas
Thank you! Will do!
Just awesome! I’m always so happy when you post a video.
Tim...great video as ALWAYS...wow the mink was cool and the big gator munching on its cousin...OUCH! But your voice over has a glitch...is that a pig or a hog grunting in the background??? Ha Ha Ha...I like it! Keep the great videos a comin'
@@seminolewar U may be correct Chris!!!
My nerves can’t take watching you walking through that gator infested swamp 😂 Great footage 👍
Have nice Christmas Tim, & Critters
Thanks so much for sharing Thanksgiving at the Fakahatchee Hilton! Plenty to be thankful for this year.
the ebike is the ticket. you'll love it.
Fakahatchee Hilton: Thanks for the videos you posted in the last year, looking forward to another year.
I wonder if that black bear was injured and that’s why he walks funny. Maybe hit by a car
wow all ready. i watch last year too.
Oh, thank you! The Mink was phenomenal. You take me places that I will never get to see.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you
Nice video. I have 7 Togard/Campark cameras and maybe there is something about their smell because 3 of them have tooth holes in the sensor covers and one was ripped off the tree by bears. Elk like to play with them also. Keep the videos coming and was cool to see the mink
Thanks. I'm not sure what happened to that H-100. It seems to be working now.
My great Grand Daughters love all you do. So do I. Love the orchids as much as the wild life. Thanks ever so much.
why would you eat outside...you might attract wild animals coming for the food. Risky.
Stunning photographs as usual! Always an inspiration to watch these mini-nature documentaries. Thanks Tim!
You're braver than I am, I would be running from the cotton mouth not trying to run him away from me.
I always look forward to your videos. Thanks so much for giving us a look at the life in the forest.
Love your tradition ❤
I think I’ve been watching your channel a couple of years, I remember last Thanksgiving video for sure. Your a funny guy and I love watching what kinda animals you get pictures of. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Brenda
new subscriber. Merry Christmas 🎅
Hey Tim I’d love to show you some areas around Tallahassee!
Thanks Tim…best video ever. You just keep getting better all the time.
Perfect mix and variety. I’m in the market for an ebike let’s see what happens.
Thanks David. I did a test drive of the Pedago Element the other day. Now I really want one!
The mink positioned itself perfectly as it peered out bet. foliage. Lovely. I made an 18 pound Turkey for 2 ppl this yr. I sent my dau off with most of it to a party being held for her friends who couldn’t make it home. I froze two meals for my son who will visit bef Christmas. I would have given u a meal as well. I make a great gravy & sausage dressing. Best wishes to you and your family.
I need to get down there!...I love being in the swamp!
Good evening Tim
Another awesome video my friend
The mink was nice to see and I like the part of the video with the turkey and rainbow colors from the sunlight coming thru 🤠
Of course the swamp orchids are always awesome and nice that you got to do your Thanksgiving at the cabin.
Look forward to the next video so always take care and be safe out there 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Beautiful !
Good footage. Without your trail cam footage I wouldn't have been able to envision or visit the Swamp Hilton. Bears, gators and deer are just some of the swamp denizens that I get to enjoy through your lens. Thanks TH
What a gorgeous little mink! Sweet faced. I'd be so scared if I saw a gator! Or a cotton mouth snake. You're incredibly brave!
