We camped there 6 years ago and really enjoyed it. High tide came up to the tires on the travel trailer but no issues. We'll probably go there again but after watching your video we will more careful.
Yeah it was great until the wind picked up and the tides got bigger. A few of the other die hards sunk into the sand a bit with the water going past their rig, but as far as we know they were still able to get out. Safe travels!
Can't say we would recommend it. When the weather is nice, camping on the beach is amazing. During a storm is a whole other game that we don't really want to repeat.
Thanks, yeah there were some tense moments for sure. The thing that really caught me (Jay) off guard was how the water kept rising even after high tide passed and it was supposed to be receding. "Storm surge" can be pretty intense, and come with any windstorm, not just hurricanes.
Thankfully you both got through it and collectively gained more understanding so you can make safe decisions at the next beach. Another scary thing watching the episode was that the loose sand might have prevented a speedy exit. @@HomeARoam
Definitely enjoying y’all’s channel. I’m absolutely intrigued about learning about beach camping in Texas as I’m in Louisiana and it’s really close for me but I never imagined I’d be learning about it from Canadians😂. Loving the episodes with failures and good times and everything in between. Safe and happy travels to y’all.
Yeah, it was a calculated risk. I mean, really we risk the truck and trailer every time we hitch it up and drive somewhere. 🤷♂️ If you thought that was risky you should watch our Baja series. 😁 But in all seriousness, it was a scary lesson and we're definitely going to remember and respect what high tide plus a wind storm can do to a beach.
😮. What an ordeal! It’s impressive how you deal with the unexpected and communicate with each other so collaboratively and without rancor. Kudos to you. Safe travels
Good thing you guys made it out of there no problems, My rule is where ever there is flat sandy beach , the ocean can reach , A no Camp zone for me. Anyhow stressful time im sure.
I live in the Rio Grande Valley and honestly the beach here is horrible with WIND. You’ll have salty sand in your vehicle and RV for the rest of their lives LOL. No No for me LOL.
Thanks! We have DJI wireless mics, but mostly just used the GoPro internal mic on this one. I cleaned up the audio substantially using Davinci Resolve's AI "voice isolation" feature. Works pretty well.

Was it worth the stress? 😂

You two crack me up. 🤣
Gotta do what we gotta do. 😆
I’ll keep enjoying the great drone footage and leave the stressful situations for you to deal with - great teamwork!
Probably wise, we wouldn't wish a storm on the beach on anyone 😅
Yikes! That was a nightmare. Happy you did well and got out of there. Stay Safe.

Thanks! We try to keep it real on the channel by sharing the good, the bad, and the not so beautiful 😁 but also lots of beautiful places.
Not sure why you’d risk losing your truck and trailer to Mother Nature.

Because you’re an OPTIMIST! 😂
Living by the edge of your pants...so much fun!! Glad your safe ! K,E & Marmalade
Thanks! It was a nerve racking day, but we got through

Thanks ❤️ We try.

We will have to add that motto to our tips for beach camping! Love it!

We learned that lesson the hard way 😀
If you're stuck dont unhitch. It may not be possible to hitch it again. Shoulve just did a u turn and got outta there
Driving forward dug us into the sand even deeper.
As always enjoy your channel and it was amazing how well you two work everything out !!!! As always BS & BK & BC !!
Thanks 🙏 Challenges are just opportunities for learning, right?
Great video. What wireless mic's do you all use?
Thanks! We have DJI wireless mics, but mostly just used the GoPro internal mic on this one. I cleaned up the audio substantially using Davinci Resolve's AI "voice isolation" feature. Works pretty well.
How did Benny handle the ordeal??
Amazingly well, surprisingly. He jumps and hides at people going by and loud noises, but crashing waves right outside his door didn't phase him 😅
All we thought of at the beginning was… “ when the rats leave the ship(beach), you better too…” 😁
😂😂 lessons learned!
So, Jay in your drone footage. There is some doughnuts out in front of your camper Was it you with the truck ? or you have some nasty neighbor?
Hahah, no, that wasn't us. Doing donuts on South Padre beach seems to be a fun activity for young locals. 😁
Scary and pain in the butt ????
Definitely.
