do you ship to europe (Sweden) and do you have any idea what that would cost extra...? I'm seriously considering getting one of these for myself for my birthday in the fall... :)
You guys are showing the rest of the world that Florida is a lot more than just sandy beaches. I love the back road education you guys are providing to your viewers. Just love it!
According to Glen Burns, an Atlanta meteorologist, the rainbow on the water is caused by the rotting vegetation under the water. SO cool to have seen it!!
Hi Chris, please make more videos like this. I was having a really rough night with anxiety and this video was just what I needed. ❤ Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
My workplace experienced catastrophic flooding last year September and those memories came back and triggered an anxiety attack. Chris and Bri helped me to calm down enough to get to sleep.
Absolutely love this ! …retired gardener from Cornwall UK and it’s fantastic to see the Sarracenias in the wild. We get Autumn Ladies Tresses, Spiranthes spiralis but they are tiny compared to those . Right now I’m in France and finding so many orchids..Bee orchids , Lady orchids , Pyramidal orchids , Marsh orchids and more . I love your enthusiasm and knowledge ! ❤
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing. We’re just starting our orchid hunting journey here in FL, but there are over 200 species here, many of which are only found in FL. We plan to just continue learning more and exploring different environments to see them all. I’ll have to look up the types you say you’re seeing there. I haven’t heard of many of them.
That fly was relentless...and funny! We've all been there. LOL Great video, once again. I am totally impressed by how much you guys know about, well, everything. I always walk away from one of your videos feeling smarter for watching it.
What an enjoyable video! I probably would have spent way more than an hour filling whatever containers I had with blueberries. The plants you have there are so different from what we have here in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you for showing their details and for sharing some interesting information about them. The plant with the underwater bladder was really cool! Thank you for sharing your adventures. 😊
Such a great video jam packed with some incredible information. You two lead a wonderful life. I don’t know what in the heck I’m still doing up here in Maine…😬
Very off topic question: I am facinated with language and teach Swedish as a second language, and I have a weird/nerdy language question for you.... I have noticed, through the years, that you say "vehicle" instead of "car" (not sure if Wild Kyle does that too) and I am curious about if this is a common thing in U.S English, or if it's a regional thing to Florida or a individual language trait (some word uses and phrases can run in a family, for example)... to be clear: I like it, it's not something that rubs me the wrong way, but I always try to improve my English, and one of the hardest things to learn in a foreign language is nuances and regonal differences and so on... :) Loved the video by the way, I love learning about nature, and it's so much fun to see an environment that is partly reminiscent of Sweden and then the rest of it is just tropical and really excotic... I just hope that stuff on the water wasn't anything bad... it looked beautiful, either way :)
I don’t think calling it a vehicle is a specific Florida term. I’m from Florida and have a habit of calling everything a car- I even say to the kids “get in the car” and my significant other gets annoyed because it’s a “truck” not a car lol
I use the term vehicle because it's more general. I got into the habit in the military. It's easier then saying all the different vehicle names 😆. Idk if Paleo Chris was in the military or not. However, I can tell you many people I hear say it were in the military. 🤷
Well this is an unexpected hobby crossover! 😯 I keep a large collection of carnivorous plants (Mostly Nepenthes/Drosera/Heliamphora), so if you're ever interested in growing some feel free to reach out! 😁
Cris- You made a huge mistake in this video. Right here in Florida, I was out in the woods and picked up some trash just like you. It included a beer can. I threw it in the floor board of my car for dumping later. Along came a sheriff's deputy wanting to know what I was doing. He saw the beer can and arrested me for violating the Fl open container law. He wouldn't listen to me and took me to jail and impounded my car. It cost me $6000 in lawyer fees and impound fees. I finally got the charges dropped when my lawyer showed the judge that the can was sun faded from laying outside for months.
That is absolutely disgusting and I’m sorry you had to go through an experience like that. I’ll keep that in mind for next time. I suspect that some individuals are on power trips and don’t care about what’s true or not. It’s very, very obvious if a can was outside for any period of time. Crazy stuff.
Totally enjoyed this! I never knew about the orchids in Florida or the Carnivorus plants! Thank you for taking us along and giving us so much information on them! Wonderful! Very beautiful. And yes that was natural plant oils in the water. In swamp areas as plants die in the water they release their oils and of course they will naturally float on the surface of the water. Great video and looking forward to more in the future!
Nice place ❤. I love blackberries, we have them a lot in Finland(allso lingonberries and where I live is cloudberries and crandberries) and pure nature. U got some beautiful flours in there❤. 👋🇫🇮
what a great vid!!! as a botany nerd, i can't get enough. i believe that the thing causing the abnormal growth on that plant around the 3 min mark is Exobasidium ferrugineae, if the host is Lyonia ferruginea. so cool!
OMG!! I lived in Florida for 17 years and never saw 3/4 of what you just shared! And here I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about the outdoors I lived in!
One really cool forest to explore is Torreya state park which has the highest diversity of tree species in the continental US! And in my opinion is one of the most beautiful places in Florida.
Awesome video! It was so pretty and green at the first pond y'all stopped at and the colors on the second pond was beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. 💕😃
I absolutely the details you are able to show on all those plants. One of my most favorite things to do is to take up close photos of nature. I live in Michigan, so our plants are a lot different, but so beautiful. I loved the rose colored sticky plant. That was incredible!
Oh my goodness you two! Thank you so much for this beautiful adventure. That place is absolutely gorgeous! And learning about all of those plants was really fun too. I absolutely love your videos and totally look forward to the sequel to this one. Until the next one, happy trails to you both 😊
Wow, just WOW! I've never seen such beautiful plants just out there in the wild! The pitcher plants and my favorite I think were the spiraling tresses with the white flowers.
This is amazing. I love these "mini expeditions" of yours to find stuff, especially when its plants. Plants and snails are my favourite things to look for everywhere I go. Please, please make more videos like these! ( Oh and the video quality was superb this time 😊)
You guys need to take a bucket with you next time to collect some blueberries. You could make jam or freeze them and use them as ice cubes in your drinks. Love the carnivorous plants, it's something I don't see often. I work in a National Park in Australia and love looking for different flowers that are so overlooked by most people.
This was such a treat. My husband and I both enjoyed seeing the natural wonders that were right at your feet. You have a great teaching style. Thank you.
I love that picture of the water with the oils on top you took the time to grab your camera to and take! I wish i Would gave known what you're both teaching when my girls and I lived in Florida! I miss it so much!
Reminds me of day of the triffids - the pitcher ones enmass - isnt mother nature magical and amazing and so kind of you to share your enjoyment of it too !
It's funny to see this video as I just received a copy of the book 'The Savage Garden' today. Basically an encyclopedia of carnivorous plants and cultivation of them. This was definitely a fun video for me. I've been a plant fan since I was a young kid.
Great video! Your exploration makes me notice things that I haven’t always paid as close of attention to. I have long been a purveyor of birds and 4-legged wildlife, but only when I run out of those to look at do I find myself noticing the other things that are out there. So much in nature to behold! Keep the videos of all formats coming!
How deep in the swamps are you guys? I live just outside the fringes of the Everglades in Naples and I’ve never found blueberries. I’m jealous tbh. My neighbor and I are eradicating cane toads and evasive species. Could use your help one day perhaps.
Awesome finds! The beer can on the front floor might not have been the best choice but at least you had video if it was questioned by a curious cop. The water shot was fantastic! Have you tried to take macro shots of the flora? Simple extension tubes are an inexpensive way to try it in good light. I sometimes use an extension tube or 2 on a telephoto lens to increase magnification and working distance to the subject. It's handy for insects and subjects just a bit out of reach.
I sometimes forget that we have to live in fear of being accused of doing something we didn’t do even when we’re trying to do the right thing. At least I had footage handy of picking it up on the side of the road. I have done reverse lens macro and extension tubes as well. I eventually invested in a macro lens because I enjoyed it so much. I plan to continue these types of videos even if they perform terribly and I may show some good macro photography in them. I enjoy them and I think teaching people about this stuff is important.
That’s a beautiful pine savanna. The reason why you loved it but didn’t know why was because it’s two biomes superimposed on one landscape. It’s a forest at the same time it’s a grassland. The biggest pitcher plant bog is outside of Wiggins Ms. The most biodiverse (but very small) is around Daphne Alabama. I’d love to show you around if you ever wanna come check it out!
I was wondering if you would come across sundews! I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada and at the bog where I find pitcher plants and lady slipper orchids, I also find sundews. Our pitcher plants are shorter and wider than the ones you showed and have burgundy coloured flowers. The sundews here are tiny, 1-1.5 cm, and I walked by them for years before even noticing them. We have sooo many wild blueberries too due to the sandy soil surrounding this bog. Of course they too are a different type than the ones you picked, but they too pack a huge flavour punch compared to the large "tame" highbush ones.
Beautiful video. I hope you can come see our Australian orchids some day. My neck of the woods excels in them each Spring. We even have one that grows underground but no carnivorous orchids as far as I know. ❤. We also have pitcher plants and sundews :)
ooh I love these videos, I'm learning so much about american wildlife! Quick question though, I see you guys picking and eating blueberries everywhere, and my mother has always told me to not eat the wild ones as they are possibly contaminated with rabies because of animals pissing on them. Is it an urban legend?
That could be why I’ve been foaming at the mouth all day. 😁 That’s definitely a myth. I’ve been eating wild berries my entire life and never even wash them. I’ve never had a single problem with it.

Hunting for orchids and carnivore plants(be careful)can not be difficult...very slow moving...

Cris, which video is it that you discuss titanis fossils? Thank you
Love seeing the plants and flowers! Beautiful.

Thanks for sharing! How interesting.
Hi Chris, please make more videos like this. I was having a really rough night with anxiety and this video was just what I needed. ❤ Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦
C'mon ,tell us about a rough night in s africa.
My workplace experienced catastrophic flooding last year September and those memories came back and triggered an anxiety attack. Chris and Bri helped me to calm down enough to get to sleep.
I love your conscious appreciation of the little things most people overlook. The little things…Sometimes the best things.

I’ll have to look up the types you say you’re seeing there. I haven’t heard of many of them.
Apis apifera, Orchis purpurea, Anacamptis pyramidalis and various Dactylorhiza sp….all growing around Dolmen from Neolithic times !
You two make an awesome team❤
I couldn't agree with you More❤
This was such a fun day! Rain, flies, and all! 😊💖🌸
I’m still traumatized by the severe harassment we experienced by that fly, much of which was not captured on camera.
That fly was relentless...and funny! We've all been there. LOL
Great video, once again. I am totally impressed by how much you guys know about, well, everything. I always walk away from one of your videos feeling smarter for watching it.
Thank you so much for bringing us more of Florida's flora and fauna. The orchids are just gorgeous.❤

That’s awful! I’m sorry that happened to you!
You'll get that on those government anything's .
That's outrageous!
That's horrible! I'm sorry you had to go through that and that your lawyer was able to prove it!
Totally enjoyed this! I never knew about the orchids in Florida or the Carnivorus plants! Thank you for taking us along and giving us so much information on them! Wonderful! Very beautiful.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Really enjoyed seeing and learning about the flora down in Florida! :-)
Nice place ❤. I love blackberries, we have them a lot in Finland(allso lingonberries and where I live is cloudberries and crandberries) and pure nature.
U got some beautiful flours in there❤. 👋🇫🇮
Another great video. Every one you make my brain grows a bit larger. Take care and stay safe.
what a great vid!!! as a botany nerd, i can't get enough. i believe that the thing causing the abnormal growth on that plant around the 3 min mark is Exobasidium ferrugineae, if the host is Lyonia ferruginea. so cool!
could also be the same Exobasidium species if the host is another Lyonia species like L. fruiticosa, i suppose
OMG!! I lived in Florida for 17 years and never saw 3/4 of what you just shared! And here I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about the outdoors I lived in!
That’s one of the coolest thing about the outdoors. The second you get into a biome you’re not familiar with, it’s all new stuff everywhere.
One really cool forest to explore is Torreya state park which has the highest diversity of tree species in the continental US! And in my opinion is one of the most beautiful places in Florida.
Pitcher plants always look like something Roddenberry would've magnified a hundredfold and put on the set of the original Star Trek.
Yeah, I've been looking forward to this one, thx guys
This is the sort of thing I like to do :) I'm up in Michigan and can find both orchids and carnivorous plants up here
Awesome video! It was so pretty and green at the first pond y'all stopped at and the colors on the second pond was beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. 💕😃
the best of both worlds, orchids and carnivorous plants. keep them coming!
I absolutely the details you are able to show on all those plants. One of my most favorite things to do is to take up close photos of nature. I live in Michigan, so our plants are a lot different, but so beautiful. I loved the rose colored sticky plant. That was incredible!

😊 Thanks for this great video! The colors on the water are very beautiful, and very unusual. 😮
Yay! So happy that you guys are back! Love love love this video!!! Please make more!❤❤❤
for your enlarged/swollen leaves, check out Exobasidium vaccinii or similiar species
Yep, I think that's it! Thanks for the ID!
I love seeing the beautiful, and bountiful nature all around you. Thank you so much for bringing us along on your adventure x❤
Awesome video you guys I didn't realize there was that many carnivorous plants in Florida
Wow, just WOW! I've never seen such beautiful plants just out there in the wild! The pitcher plants and my favorite I think were the spiraling tresses with the white flowers.
Yay! I can't wait to watch this video when I get off work! ❤
definitely enjoyed this little exploring adventure.
I love how I learn somethong new every video you make.😊❤
Great video guys! It's so awesome to see the backwoods of Florida through your viewpoint. Keep it coming!
awesome finds!
This is amazing. I love these "mini expeditions" of yours to find stuff, especially when its plants. Plants and snails are my favourite things to look for everywhere I go. Please, please make more videos like these! ( Oh and the video quality was superb this time 😊)
Thanks for another excellent video Paleocouple 😁 What a beautiful enviroment 🫐
So so happy to see new videos!
Great stuff guy’s! Glad I vote yea, on these adventures. Really enjoyed this outing.
Loved this video. Thanks.
You guys need to take a bucket with you next time to collect some blueberries. You could make jam or freeze them and use them as ice cubes in your drinks. Love the carnivorous plants, it's something I don't see often. I work in a National Park in Australia and love looking for different flowers that are so overlooked by most people.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventure - nature is truly incredible!
Absolutely gorgeous flowere and cute little frog!
I’m so glad you guys are back uploading again :) amazing videos I love coming along these adventures with you guys
We’re glad to back and plan on being more consistent with it again, too! I’m glad you love the videos! 💖
Love 💕 the place looks so serene and beautiful.
This was such a treat. My husband and I both enjoyed seeing the natural wonders that were right at your feet. You have a great teaching style. Thank you.
I love that picture of the water with the oils on top you took the time to grab your camera to and take! I wish i Would gave known what you're both teaching when my girls and I lived in Florida! I miss it so much!
Love it! The "crests" on the Pogonias at around the 6 minute mark were spectacular!
Bring a couple of pails or easiest with you and pick enough blueberries for a pie! Add it to your foraging meals.
I love carnivorous plants!
Oh hey, I was just watching some of your other videos. Love this channel 😁
Man I wish our plants were this interesting in Western NY. So cool, Thank you for sharing!
Very cool video. Really enjoyed it?👍👍
Reminds me of day of the triffids - the pitcher ones enmass - isnt mother nature magical and amazing and so kind of you to share your enjoyment of it too !
What you call swamp rose looks remarkably like what we call dog rose in uk
Lov' it !!!
Nature is so beautiful I really like those new videos, I do LOVE that fossil hunting content but those are so nice and refreshing really NICE
It's funny to see this video as I just received a copy of the book 'The Savage Garden' today. Basically an encyclopedia of carnivorous plants and cultivation of them. This was definitely a fun video for me. I've been a plant fan since I was a young kid.

You guys are such nerds. I love it!
Oh ! Thank you so much I love this xx
Fantastic, and beautiful video! Thank you!

Enjoying this content - keep it up!
Nice places...thank you for sharing
Where I live we call those roses. Alberta wild roses. Great for jam and rosehip tea.
Always love the field trips!
I loved this video I live in Florida and have all my life and you show things that I have never seen before❤❤❤
I love this new content. It’s a wanted education.
Wonderful video! Have you considered offering your expeditions to the school system? Or, having ecotours for visitors to Florida?❤ ❤
I love the vids keep up the good work
Wow ,amazing
love this video! please make more like this.
Great video 👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
How deep in the swamps are you guys? I live just outside the fringes of the Everglades in Naples and I’ve never found blueberries. I’m jealous tbh. My neighbor and I are eradicating cane toads and evasive species. Could use your help one day perhaps.
Great video.
I love your delight !

@@PaleoCris I look forward to more vids like this. To me it fits well with your other adventures.👍👍
I love the nature vids! Keep them up. Could that have been some type of algae or perhaps prolific fish/frog eggs? Just a guess.
Awesome video chris!!
That’s a beautiful pine savanna. The reason why you loved it but didn’t know why was because it’s two biomes superimposed on one landscape. It’s a forest at the same time it’s a grassland. The biggest pitcher plant bog is outside of Wiggins Ms. The most biodiverse (but very small) is around Daphne Alabama. I’d love to show you around if you ever wanna come check it out!
Beautiful job guys!
Love this ❤❤❤ i am learning about Florida native plants❤❤❤ but mosquitos LOVE ME 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I was wondering if you would come across sundews! I live in Prince Edward Island, Canada and at the bog where I find pitcher plants and lady slipper orchids, I also find sundews.

Of course they too are a different type than the ones you picked, but they too pack a huge flavour punch compared to the large "tame" highbush ones.
Awesome video, learned a lot.
Yep it is probably a slick of natural oils from decayed matter. I find it all the time where I live and the swamps I hunt have it.
PaleoCris, please can you make more geode hunting videos! I really like them!
I would have to be borrowing some of those plants for the garden, and maybe that baby frog 🐸 lol 😊
Beautiful video. I hope you can come see our Australian orchids some day. My neck of the woods excels in them each Spring. We even have one that grows underground but no carnivorous orchids as far as I know. ❤. We also have pitcher plants and sundews :)
ooh I love these videos, I'm learning so much about american wildlife!
Quick question though, I see you guys picking and eating blueberries everywhere, and my mother has always told me to not eat the wild ones as they are possibly contaminated with rabies because of animals pissing on them. Is it an urban legend?
That could be why I’ve been foaming at the mouth all day. 😁
That’s definitely a myth. I’ve been eating wild berries my entire life and never even wash them. I’ve never had a single problem with it.
The pond at the end 😍🫶
You should really get a blueberry comb picker thingie-ma-gigg!
