I think it's cool how you talked about and touched on grounding about the sandles. Those are cool. Being a pagan and a nature child I ground myself while hiking with a walking stick I made from driftwood. I placed a copper coil on the bottom of it and a quartz crystal on top of it to cause positive energy and vibes as negative energy gets grounded through the bottom.
Man I’d love to spend my birthday weekend having a personal trip with you man! I love adventure and if we can make it happen that would be the best 25th anyone could ask for!
It's a good idea to wear sunglasses or clear goggles when roaming through the brush. A scratch on the eye will ruin your time. And it doesn't seem like it will happen until it does.
Hey Trip, you have to try kippered snacks! You will never eat sardines again after you try 'kippered snacks'. It's smoked herring packed in water. The brand at my grocery store is: "Brunswick Herring fillets"
Whew, you had my heart pounding too, that damn leaf🍃. Glad you didn't end up with an extra hole in your head. Epic adventure, thanks for sharing it with us.
AWESOME Trip(and I think I know wherev you are and what lake it is ;) lol). I lived in Florida for about 6 years or so and the old saying was, "if there's water, there's gators in it". Don't you worry about those critters?
Lol You probably do ;) Nah, don't worry about them at a place like this for some reason. The days I was there, never saw one. Typically in that weather, if they were there I'd know about it.
Your camera shots are getting so good! Also i need more adventure videos! would you consider quitting your job and doing RUclips videos full time? Obviously if it paid enough to be able to quit? Thanks for inspiring us!!
Hey thanks Paige! I would absolutely love to do adventures full time and it is what I'm striving for. Still a long ways away from that point but I just have to keep pushing ;) You're welcome!
I just finished watching river king's unsanctioned packrafting video this morning, and I was thinking about suggesting a packrafting adventure for your channel. Then I saw you posted this one yesterday. How awesome.
you need a carbon element below your sawyer, it cleans up the taste and smell. ive drank Brazos river water for days at a time with the regular sawyer and Platypus carbon. the mini has far less flow too, the large will filter on its own so you can walk away while it filters. anywho, love the videos. keep it up!
I think a good skunkape suit would be effective for slipping through those sketchy areas with less chance of trouble. Right over the pack. What could go wrong 🤪
I sure have! But the time and resources I would have to use up make it pretty difficult. Hopefully with some more hustle I can create a channel where I can afford the time and resources to do things like that.
Hey buddy, I know about where you are. You say “untouched” in this video. Right up the road from you is a place called the fitzhugh-carter tract. It is FWC managed land and lakes. It is untouched and definitely a nice place to go explore and fish. You should check it out. It may be 5 miles from where you are in this video.
awesome adventure!..in the future when you have to "bushwack", always stop and look at your back trail every so often..the trail always looks different in the opposite direction!
Thanks again for another inspiring adventure! Why did you bring the Aqua Marina and not one of your other boards (RED, Black Fin...)? Is it the lightest? By the way, go and buy some spare D-rings and glue on some handles on that board :-) ...I'm just about to do that myself on my Aqua Marina board (Triton)...wonder how that'll go... Cheers from Denmark
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! I brought the Aqua Marina because I felt like it rolled up the smallest and I wasn't sure how much space I would need in the bag.... I think that will go just fine as long as you use the proper adhesive ;)
Dang, somehow RUclips knocked all your videos out of my notifications because I haven't been getting them! 😡 On the bright side, now I have a whole nights worth of new Trip videos to watch. 😁
Trip, I really agree with your sentiments about development and nature. At the current rate of growth in USA/Florida, undeveloped places like this will definitely no longer exist in Florida within our lifetime. And that's sad. With federal/state parks becoming so commercialized and developed under the guise of accessibility, the 'last line of defense' is private timberland like this; but with timberland losing value at increasing rates, it won't be very long until the rest is finally sold off to real estate developers.
You need some snake boots Trip. Not trying to be your mother or anything but a pygmy rattler is going to make a believer of you on one of these expeditions. Nice video as always.
Amazing video as always. I recognize the lake you are at. It is a gorgeous spot. I fished there a time or two as a kid. Either way keep up the great work.
I think I vaguely know his starting point and where he climbs the fence. He seems to enter and exit the lake from the East. But if he is parking on the main road, I don't understand why he walks by the populated area first. I would've started two squares to the West, and gone North and then Northwest, arriving at the lake from the South.
If you are up in North Georgia or plan a trip near PCB I’d love to tag along. You could do another subscriber 20.1 trip. Just got into kayaking this year and now ready to hammock camping with the kayak.
Trip Love your channel and your videos. i have watched most of them. I have never heard you mention if you carry or pack in any type of firearm? Just curious.
Thanks Ryan! I used to from time to time. I don't anymore.... Not that I'm against it at all I just don't really see a major need and don't want the hassle.
Cool video don't know if I would have drank out of the old Pepsi bottle though, survival situation ofcourse. You should of brought a fishing pole it weighs 5 times less than that bottle of water you brought 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Great video as always Trip. Can I ask you where you got your hat from as I can't see a link to that bit of kit. Looking forward to your next video. All the best from the UK.....
I spent about 10 mins of the video on google earth and then looking in the comments to see if I was right. When you cut the audio out and know BBL it’s easier to read your lips. Lol
Being in Norway I just jumped straight onto google earth... Just sitting here wondering where in the world you are... :-P And I think I'm onto something... (not!!) haha!
Too bad a trail camera wasn't on in the area you were lying on the ground. That would have been hilarious to have to figure out "what in the hell is that man doing?"
@@TripSmith yessir I think it’s awesome that you reply to all of your fans too! Let me know if you’re ever around Tallahassee, I take my kayak out all the time and love exploring new places to paddle and fish so I’d definitely be down for an adventure!
Trip, I love your material and love watching each of your adventures. You are very great at what you do. You inspired me to try and get my own channel up and going and hopefully soon the action camera my wife ordered me comes in and I can start recording soon as She hits.

@@TripSmithHa! I found it, too. It's on the Google Map, not too far from one of the narrow creeks you ran on the paddle board, the one with lots of beautiful clear springs :).

Thank you for taking us along on this adventure good thing I live in the area and know where this one is
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Wonderful location you found! I can definitely relate to the time spent on google earth. So many cool places out there!
Yes there are man!

That's awesome Frecky!!!! I might take a peak sometime.... Hard for me to watch everyones... lol
Great stuff mate. That place looks awesome. You got me inspired 👍
Thanks Tim!!! Haha, now it's time to Get Out There!
Paddle board trip in a river of lava, STILL packs the sandals haha. You’re a braver man than me T
Hahaha! Got to have the Earth Runners!!!!!
thanks for the cool adventure and i enjoyed your evening serenade!
You're welcome Lisa!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great adventure! The water was amazing and the singing was pretty good too. LOL Thanks Trip!
It sure was Mike! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment ;)
A car rides by and spots you and thinks... Is that a dead man laying on the ground with a backpack on?
Great video! Keep them coming buddy 👍

Sardines? That can't be stealthy. They drink a mile away.
I didn’t like the part where you walked on land cause you didn’t have a life jacket on. 😂 always happy to see a new video buddy, get out there!
Aw man.... I know I should have been wearing one.... Glad you enjoyed it boss!

Good thinking.... Time to go check Ebay!
Ever thought of a trip farther north? Michigan paddling is pretty awesome!
I sure have! But the time and resources I would have to use up make it pretty difficult. Hopefully with some more hustle I can create a channel where I can afford the time and resources to do things like that.
Michigan is one of the best!
rockadock 2020! those iSUPs are so tiny compared to an epoxy or gator shell board on the roof!
RD 2020! Ummmm, yes they are and still tough as nails ;)
47:26 And that folks is what you call a"Trip Pucker"! LOL!
FOr sure!!!!
Nice sandals, but I wouldn’t wear them within 20 miles of lightning. Path of least resistance and all that.
Lol Yea.... who knows?
Hey do you have a link or remember the name of that quick fill collapsible pouch?
Hmmmm, I don't recall what you are referrring to. Can you be a bit more specific?

That clear water so flat and still is why i kayak .... i have got to get a paddle board !
Get one!!!!!
awesome adventure!..in the future when you have to "bushwack", always stop and look at your back trail every so often..the trail always looks different in the opposite direction!
Thanks Scott! Very true, I do that from time to time ;)
Got a few nice spots here in the Smiths Station area, east central Alabama Wo Tide!
I need to check it out!
Do you ever worry about alligators when you hie or paddle board at these locations?
Nah, not to much. Especially when it's this pretty ;)

Who and the world would give these vids a thumb down?? Awesome content, awesome video, always excited for a new one!
Haha, who knows.... Well, I may have an idea but I'll keep that to myself. Glad you enjoyed it!
Is there an old cemetery by the lake?
Great adventure Trip. The lake looked awesome!
Thanks Sally! Yes, it's a treasure....
Looks fun! Wish it was summer
Agreed!
love your videos bro keep at it and hopefully i can kayak with you one day
Thankya! I hope you can!
We or you should make a fishing video at the place across the road. Where we used a sock as a Jon boat plug. You can catch there.
You caught yourself once.
Haha, you know I actually have a video of me fishing there mysterious Adam lol ruclips.net/video/DGkoyqq_W_o/видео.html
"I'm in a very exposed position" LMAO
well ya know....
You need some snake boots Trip. Not trying to be your mother or anything but a pygmy rattler is going to make a believer of you on one of these expeditions. Nice video as always.
Yea I know.... I was trying to keep my eyes open. I've come across a few on past videos.... No fun!
Or a Coral snake just as deadly as pigme rattlesnake. Their also tasty ate one during survival week in Naval Aircrew school in Pensacola.
Amazing video as always. I recognize the lake you are at. It is a gorgeous spot. I fished there a time or two as a kid. Either way keep up the great work.
Thanks bud! Very awesome spot!
That lake sure is Big and Blue
Sure is aint it ;)
I think I vaguely know his starting point and where he climbs the fence. He seems to enter and exit the lake from the East. But if he is parking on the main road, I don't understand why he walks by the populated area first.
I would've started two squares to the West, and gone North and then Northwest, arriving at the lake from the South.
What happened to your avocado breakfast. LOL
Well.... I traded in most foods for various meats and eggs. Carnivore Diet.
If you are up in North Georgia or plan a trip near PCB I’d love to tag along. You could do another subscriber 20.1 trip. Just got into kayaking this year and now ready to hammock camping with the kayak.

Lol Surely nothing bad lived in there right? Haha good point.... I never would have caught anything.....
@@TripSmith can't go wrong with a chartreuse spinner
Great video as always Trip. Can I ask you where you got your hat from as I can't see a link to that bit of kit. Looking forward to your next video. All the best from the UK.....

Woohoo another adventure with trip.
Yea buddy!!!!
This has got to be between econfina creek and Ebro Fl.
Maybe ;)
Hey trip ! What is the brand hats you always wear?
Imperial Headwear ;)
@@TripSmith thanks Trip👍
Lot of great adventures start out with "little sketchy!" LOL
Absolutely!
I think I would have opted to mix it in the plastic bag and drink it from there.
Haha, I was in it for the "experience" lol
How you like that watch? I’ve been looking at them?
what kind of watch is it? casio g shock?
That is a Garmin Fenix 5X. Love it....
My outdoor vitals pillow wont hold air it bubbles in several places in the fabric not the seams.
No kidding? That's odd..... Sorry to hear that.
Not sure you'd really see a well concealed slithery thing in the undergrowth.
It would be tough.....
Trip how cool would that had been if you ran into the owner and He or She was a Subscriber . Keep putting the video`s out love to watch them .
That would have been pretty awesome! Will do! Thanks!
Thanks, Trip, for taking me away. Ever make your own jerky?
You're welcome! I have actually.... Just not lately. I might do some after I run out of my current expired stash lol
Awesome video trip!
Thanks Ben!
I use google maps all the time to find new locations its a great tool
Yes it really is!
Awesome adventure
Glad you enjoyed it Danny!
I'm thinking Washington County...in Florida
Hmmmm, you probably have a good idea Richard.
@@TripSmith yeah...been to a lot of those lakes....
Bbl
I spent about 10 mins of the video on google earth and then looking in the comments to see if I was right. When you cut the audio out and know BBL it’s easier to read your lips. Lol
Uh huh :P Well done!
Could have been a duck. Sometimes they sound like mini jets buzzing over you
Yea, I did see/hear some ducks out there but this wasn't ducks ;) It is cool when you hear the ducks before you see them though.
Wow this is definitely not Big Blue Lake 😂😂😅
Nah, definitely not lol
Being in Norway I just jumped straight onto google earth... Just sitting here wondering where in the world you are... :-P And I think I'm onto something... (not!!) haha!
Lol well it's off the beaten path.... You could be onto it ;) Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@TripSmith Yeah... I found the lake after a while. Hehe... :-D Looks like a sweet spot! I'm more of a North Sea kinda guy myself though. :-D
Thats a good looking lake a nice Big Blue Lake.
Uh huh sure is ain't it? lol
Do they make those sandals for men?
Lol I'm guessing that's a joke? Those are mens ;)
Rob Mitchell 😂
I was thinking the same thing lol
Sunny hills/Sandhills of washington county Florida
There ya go.
haha yeah got to come to california and go on some adventures brother!
I'd LOVE to! One day.....
Bro, did you steal my wife’s sandals? J/k just yanking your chain.
Nah, she let me borrow them ;) lol
Too bad a trail camera wasn't on in the area you were lying on the ground. That would have been hilarious to have to figure out "what in the hell is that man doing?"
Yea really.... I wouldn't be surprised if I did pass a trail camera somewhere along the way....
Big Blue Lake
Shhhhh lol
Easy on the music. That does draw in unwanted coyotes. : )
Hehe ;)
I found out where it is trip😉
Good deal!

I don't worry to much about them. We have no crocs here anyhow. Gators tend to be scared of people.
Awesome video trip
Thanks Blake!
That bag is ridiculous lol literally had a kitchen sink in it
Yea it was pretty heavy lol
When can we expect the 2019 Christmas gift guide??
Oh boy... I'm not sure... I guess I should do one huh?
Trip Smith of course buddy, I wouldn’t take a Christmas gift guide video seriously if it came from anyone else.
Didn't miss you earlier then 😍

No worries!
Skip you would good at the border getting into America your stealthy lol

Big Blue Lake?
Yep

Lol I try to stay consistent. Sometimes I miss here and there....
50 lbs bag ?
I think it was more than that... I mentioned it in the video.

You would be better off reading the comments **hint hint**
47lbs
Heavy.....

ill! jk hes ripped isnt he

No alligators?
No good adventure podcasts.
