Great video thanks for taking us with you I am in Montana we have just about every other predator but no hogs you made the right decision always be safe my friend looks like some great new gear thanks for your time and effort you put in your videos
Living in Texas I camp in a lot in hog areas, they don’t give me much trouble. However I’m a hammock camper. I mostly shrug them off. Sometimes they come right up around my camp, but I yell at them and they run off. I’m a solo camper,always packing usually I have my AR, but always have a pistol. I’m 64 and my number one rule is you never ever go into the woods without protection. But don’t let those pigs ruin your camp. I am enjoying your videos keep up the good work.🐷
@@BODE318 thank you I appreciate your words. If I had been deeper in than I probably would have stayed just because of that but since I was close only one mile from the car I felt it was best to pack up. I waited around almost 2 hours after the initial encounter and it seemed they wanting to scout the area I was in so no need to risk it
Thank you and yeah, because I was 1mile from my car I thought it was best to leave even tho I tried to wait them out. Had I been farther in trail like a few miles or so then I would have stayed I think. Thanks for commenting again, I really appreciate you. Let me know what you would have done too
Usually they run off, when I get an aggressive one I keep moving. Only thing I carry is a hunting knife and bear spray, never had an issue with them at camp even when they’re around. Check out the arbuckle tract in the area I said, good hike right along the lake shore.
Greetings, Rob. Cool video smart move, Ferrell hogs are no joke to play with... Being that you do solo trips, I think maybe you want to look into those electrical camping fences or some type of noise prevention to deter them away from from campsite. Keep posting your adventures...
Thank you and yeah they are nothing to play around with. I think once yhe weather starts to get warmer here they won't be as much of an issue where I typically go
Hey rob another good decision. Dont know if it would work with hogs but my grandpa had a transistor radio he would hang on a fence post by his cantelope field to keep the coyotes out. They would bite the middle out of them and the watermelon. He'd put it on a talk radio station and then go turn it off in the morning. AM station back then. I carry one that I got on amazon and if theres ever alot of visitors I know of, Ill do the same. Just loud enough that I can hear it so Im sure they can.
@@neil6961 thats a great Ideat and definitely something I thought of when I was out there was keeping a radio on so at least they were aware of my presence. Thank you for suggesting that. I think I'll try to look for something portable enough that I might be able to bring for these type of situations
I didn’t know the hog problem was that bad in Florida. There are no wild hogs where I am in 🇨🇦. Probably because of the 3 feet of snow outside. Stay safe out there.
Great looking gear, thanks for sharing. Interested in that pad. I just bought Nemo with Horizontal baffles, great pad, however dimples are comfier to me. Enjoy 25 ! Here piggy piggy... they are everywhere. Thick in South Bama also.
@@wyregrasser7540 yeah thars what drew me to the pad also amd it's not really crinkly sounding. If I stayed it probably would have been pretty hard for me to fall asleep comfortably because of the Hogs. Good thing I was only about a mile from the car if I was a lot farther in then I probably would have stayed
Dude, I kinda dig that tent, 28 oz, yeah thats a backpackers dream in my book. Was definitely hopeing it had a bug screen an a floor in it, from the intial pic it didn't, later it did, never have a tent in Fla that doesn't, snakes an bugs will seek a warm place, hence the floor an bug screens. I don't know where your at in Fla, but glad you carry a sidearm, I go with a 10mm or a .357 mag, especially dealing with hogs. Born an raised here an hunt to, they can be very territorial an nasty under the right circumstances. Big boars love to scrap anybody, you, me, dogs, each other. Along time ago like 45 yrs ago, we use to hunt hogs in Immokalee with dogs, an the worst I ever got cut was by a little 80 lb boar, think like a teenager getting in a scrap. He did have little 1/2 in cutters hanging out of his mouth, but got me on the inside of my knee, trying to get away from the dogs, cost me 12 stitchs that nite, as he layed open a 2 in gash on the inside of my knee, deep to, which led to the stitchs. So better to be safe rather than sorry when dealing with them. Where was this at in the vid, sure is pretty Fla land for sure. Thx for the vid Rob
@@williammccaslin8527 wow I'm glad you commented, really helps and let pther people know how dangerous and unpredictable they can be so thank you for that. Sounds like you've definitely put in some time outdoors and have the experiences to back it up. I'm here in eas central Florida btw
@Rob_outdoorz Me to, SEBASTIÁN, Fla, I was thinking you were by some levy here , don't know where you go, but I would love to visit it an maybe pop one of those hogs for ya to do a catch an cook vid. 50 lbs an under lil sows are the best eating in my book, or a lactating sow is gtg to, no gameness to them, but lean meat, slow cooked BBQ is the way to go. An yeah I had alot of experience with them, whether with dogs an a knife, bow , Black powder guns, or gun hunting, can't wait for your next gear dump vid. Did you setup your new tent in the backyard, an how about waterproofed, even tho we haven't had any real rain, just asking.
@@Rob_outdoorz The video was fantastic. The video and audio quality were excellent. I would have left if those wild hogs got too close to me as well. However, if you ever get stuck, they are good eating.
Too bad the hogs scrapped the camp. Still a good vid. When I looked at the X-mid, it was still pretty expensive, so I opted for the Asta Gear Yun Chuan 1 and 2, in the 4-season, solid versions. I'm eyeing the X-dome 1+, but waiting until the fervor settles and I don't have to order it and then wait months to get it. All in all, great New Year/New Gear vid!
The x-dome looks great and is one of durstons newer models. I'm pretty sure he has them in stock. I really enjoy the trekking pole style stuff so that's why I went with mine. Lmk what you decide to go with and what you think of it
The regular X-Mid 1 is pretty good for the most part, but it has a very large footprint and the interior is tiny. I’m only 6’2” and it’s really too short for me. No room at all for gear inside the tent either if you use a 25” wide pad. The dyneema version apparently has a lot more room in it, but it’s also more of a single wall tent, so condensation is likely to be an issue. When looking for new gear in the future, always consider that durston has an insane online hype cult that like to pretend their gear is always the best, even when there are clearly better options for certain people with specific requirements.
Yes I definitely understand that and did not purchase this tent based on that. I was in the marked for a new tent and had many in my sights for months, decided on this one because it check the boxes for me. So far as a person of 6'4" and 215lbs I felt good laying inside. Like I mentioned, every tent has its pros/cons depending on what you are looking for as a backpacker, hiker, survivalist...to get the ultimate tent that checks every box for you would be the holy grail. There will always be a compromise you need to be willing to accept
Thanks for sharing, Rob. Came upon your channel by chance a while back and dig your vibe and the content is good. Where is this by the way? I am in Texas, central Texas, but do not get much pine trees here.
Sorry about your hog problem there in Florida. I solo camp in Michigan and have never had a problem with any form of wildlife. I tend to keep a fire burning as long as I can just to discourage any curious animals. We don't have hogs here. I'm more concerned with bears. Frankly, I think bears are far less aggressive than hogs.
@@Colichemarde thank you and yes a fire would be an excellent deterrent. I havnt had to deal with anh bears (yet) so so I appreciate your comment about this
Bro I would have gotten some bacon 🥓 for breakfast lol. That's what I would tell the DNR " well they startled me awake and were being aggressive.....so I ate him" lol
@@Rob_outdoorz Getting my gear sorted out just got my silky saws big boy and the little one each month im getting stuff getting ready for this spring as im not going out in the winter my first buy was the haven tent hammock the next month i got some other stuff getting close. might even do a video or two will see about that wish i would have done this when i was down there in Florida but im poor so i couldnt. All about Fun and Fishing this spring.
@@Cannabishealz honestly, it's all about getting out. Hearing natures sounds once you settle down at camp and just enjoying being out. All you need is whatever gear will take you through the night, doesn't need to be fancy or popular at all. Just get out and enjoy the peace it brings. If you happen to upload anything, I'd love to see it so let me know, would enjoy checking it out!
I live in Pennsylvania and we don’t encounter feral hogs, so I know little about them and danger with them. Good luck with subs. Have you been using your GearTop tent?
Hey thanks toy for watching and commenting. I really appreciate that. Hogs are invasive and reproduce like crazy. I hope that they don't eventually make it up to you. Unfortunately I havnt used the geartop tent since that last video. I plan on doing a video based on my experiences with it for when I used it so stay on the look out for that in the next few weeks
As they say, 'Discretion is the Better Part of Valor'. There's no need to take unnecessary risk. How much damage can the wild pigs do to a human and/or property?
@@TrashHunt yeah definitely not gambling on that and taking the chance especially because I was only a mile in. If I was deeper in then I probably would have stayed
I'll do a video on all the new gear as just an introduction and a detailed review once I get a good amount of miles on it all. Thank you for watching and commenting, hogs are definitely nothing to toy with

Great video, thanks 👍
Do a lot of hiking and fishing in lake wales ridge state forest, pigs everywhere there too. Should check it out though, nice place for overnighters.
I'll definitely have to look that up and see where it's at. What do you do if you encounter hogs or hog activity?
Usually they run off, when I get an aggressive one I keep moving. Only thing I carry is a hunting knife and bear spray, never had an issue with them at camp even when they’re around. Check out the arbuckle tract in the area I said, good hike right along the lake shore.

That's funny I was going to say the same thing lol
I'm here to see it!
Are there risks of danger to other campers, if we take a hog, during a camp?
@@diligentsun1154I was on public land so technically it would be legal to harvest one. No other campers on this land but me

Florida is nice because yall can use aluminum tent pegs in that soft soil all day long. Probably sucks though in storms
Yeah the soil is pretty soft here especially in my experiences. They also hold up well in storms if you set them up correctly
Love your videos, man! Gonna camp in Strawberry, Az soon and record it! glad you got home safe, brother! Keep on marchin on! :)
