Boondocking Cajunstyle
Registrace 8. 01. 2013
Harold (Pops) Daryn (Capt Dee) and the swamp dog Tucker enjoying Louisiana outdoors, camping on our houseboat. Fishing, crabbing, cooking, boating, and other adventures. We built our off-grid houseboat so that we could be out on the lake and back bayous of the Cajun swamps. With a few DYI projects and building our houseboat from the ground up.
Live a Humble life and be thankful for every Blessing. Life is short, give all the love, that you can, while you are able to give it.

Stop at a several places around the lake looking for fish or whatever we could find. Cooking on the pit a Pork Loin and cooking up some white beans and rice.

Lots of fish moving and some baby aligators with one big Momma gator chilling on the bank.

That lightning show was just awesome.
@@RichardOgren by the time I thought about catching some of it, the good ones had already passed. Thanks for watching and commenting
Great job guys! Awesome scenery all around y’all. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻⭐️
@lutherprince9304 it's going to be cooling down real soon hopefully so we can really look for the scenery. As always thanks for watching and commenting
Love those trees
@@GloriaMcNett I think those are your favorite
Y’all enjoy love y’all
@@GloriaMcNett we love you
That's all you can do save line and cut it close. At the spillway one day my line wagged wide toward me, it passed drag had no effect so l cut it, that was on a small white feather for snook but it was light line so no chance.
@Timewalkerv saving line is a good thing. I was also concerned that if I cut the line too long, it could get twisted around something and maybe drown the gator. Capt Dee was worried that I would loose a finger or something 😆
The thick beans are hard to find here, I'll have to look for blue runner brand, in the old days we'd buy cases of grandma browns beans on vacation to bring back.
@Timewalkerv if you have time, whatever beans you get, put them on a low fire, they will thicken up.
@@BoondockingCajunstyle Never tried that, I will !
Great video as always! What's your main lake? Fausse Pointe?
Lake Fausse Point would be correct. Thanks And thank you for watching and commenting
@@BoondockingCajunstyle You're very welcome! I've only been once and it was to the State Park there. We canoed around a bit though, not fishing but taking photos. Have a great week. Thanks for the response ✌️
@mm37too it's a nice place to paddle around, there are also some nice camp sites that is only water accessible.
Tucker’s all cleaned up!! We love some white beans, that’s what we grew up on. Thanks for sharing…. Ryan & Beth
We also grew up on having many different types of dried beans and every one was prepared different and every one was good eating. Tucker does not like getting wet, no matter where it's coming from. Thanks for watching and commenting
Do you still build custom bay boats?
@GrassBandit due to the health I only do a little here and there. I may build another one day.
What size did you have in mind?
@@BoondockingCajunstyle That is understandable. I wouldn’t mind going with about a 22’x6’ center console V bottom next.
Vegetables?
@@areguapiri gotta have them
Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!
@Moma_T hey Moma Tee, I'm happy that yall came along for the ride. I very much appreciate yall support
Another good one yall, lets go.☀

Nice video y’all! Cool lil night ride in the air boat also, Ps,nice coffee mug😂 take care out there 👍✌️🛥🎣☕️
@GJCAMPING the night ride was really good. Need to get cameras that work well at night or at least some good lighting. The other cup is also really cool
It's so nice just to Get out and relax..... White beans and rice looked good,....

@FL.AirBoater it probably would do a really good job at it. May try it one night. Thanks for watching from central FL. It is very much appreciated

Thanks we will do our best
That's so awesome 👌
@harlincolkmire933 thank you very much
Got her in the water and going...great job..thank you for sharing your adventure of the building..
@craigh3381 thank you for following the build and commenting. It is very much appreciated
Goes good
@normanhebert2388 still need to make adjustments. I put a fuel tank in the front deck. Think I may build another to place under driver's foot rest
Fantastic Harold! Great to see the Air boat running. You did a beautiful job on the build. You and Captain Dee will have a lot of fun cruising around on the water with that . 😊
@alantillman588 we went do a little night time running, but really couldn't get much of any video. We need to get better video equipment. Dee and I enjoy riding but the Tucker dog is not a big fan of it. It must hurt his ears. Thank you
@@BoondockingCajunstyle Might need to get the Tucker pup some ear muffs and eye goggles . ha. You guys enjoy and be safe out there. :)
@alantillman588 that is very much true. I'm sure it has to be hard on him. I'm looking right now for something to protect his ears.
Alright Brother! I could tell by the sound of the engines when the video started it’s running a lot better this trip out. It looks awesome! You did an outstanding job on building that air boat. You take pride in your work and it sure shows. Y’all enjoy! I’ll be looking for the next video. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
@lutherprince9304 yes it is getting better every time. Still need to do a little more tuning. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@BoondockingCajunstyle I’ve really enjoyed the channel since subscribing. I thank you and Capt Dee for all the hard work and time it takes to share these videos with everyone. Y’all have become like. family to me and I sincerely appreciate it!
My husband says is quiet for an air boat. I say it’s fast😎
@sassylovesdylan thank you.
Pretty awesome build Man !!
@paulmarshall3099 thanks, it definitely took some thinking and I'm still making little changes.
Thanx for the nice scenery and good times.
@@nickpellegrin thanks Nick. It has been so hot, making it hard to do much of anything
@@BoondockingCajunstyle Im with ya 100% brother.
Anyway to do a video on how to bend those hoops,get correct width at base, tubing size and equipment used ? I'm building a airboat on budget, 4yrs now and need a fan cage, Tim
The easiest way is to build a plywood pattern. This way you can figure out exactly the height and width that you would need. It will also make it easier to figure out the shape that you are looking for. The materials that I use are 3/4" EMT for the main hoops. 1/2"EMT for everything else. 2"×3" pvc coated fence wire tie strapped to the outside. I used a HF pipe roller to get the rounds. This takes some time don't rush it. All the welds were done with a MIG machine with .023" short arc wire. Later I will try to get a detailed video out, it probably will be some time before I would be able to. I hope this helps some Thank you
Out cruising having fun !!!!
@davidasimkosr4641 most definitely the most enjoyable thing to do, unless you ask Dee and she is going to tell you catching is, not fishing but catching 😆
Take notes ladies, Capt. Dee's a 10. Another great one guys. ☀
@Jay_In_Virginia a 10 is definitely what she is. She makes things easier and joyful. As always watching and commenting is very much appreciated, thank you
Thank you for sharing...always listen to momma...you broke a good pole ...oh well .
@craigh3381 momma wasn't so happy about that. At least it was a old pole that has been repaired a couple of times. Looks like I will be able to get one more repair out of it.
Those lizards don't play fair. Lol
@@cdp50359 they cook down really good 😆
@@BoondockingCajunstyle dats right
Awesome job Capt D The spot y’all were at cooking breakfast was absolutely beautiful. Question for you pop. How does it work there in your state on anchorage of your house boat. We can no longer have house boats anchored on the altamaha river permanent. Thanks for the video yall enjoy!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@lutherprince9304 the only things that I have been able to find. Can not anchor on a scenic river, can not block any navigation water way. Some places you are required to lease the land where you are anchor. So far we had to deal with one issue. Had the houseboat tied off at the landing, and within a couple of days I was contacted. Was able to work that out without any problems. We also move around but mostly come back to the location in the video. We stay out of the way and do our best not to give anyone reason to complain. Most issues come from someone complaining about what you are doing. Finding true information is hard to come by. You get a lot of information that isn't correct from a lot of people.
Thank you for all of your support, you are one of the top commenter and it is very much appreciated
@@BoondockingCajunstyle l was just wondering about how it was in your state. Here were I live in south Georgia it’s absurd that we can no longer do it. It seems everything today is about the almighty dollar. If the rich folks don’t like the way it looks then you can no longer do it. Things have sure changed in my 70yrs!😂 I have really enjoyed your channel. Looking forward to your next video! Thanks!
@lutherprince9304 if you are not hurting anyone or anything I feel that you should just be left alone. It's when someone comes alone and just make troubles, it only makes things harder for other folks
@@BoondockingCajunstyle you got that right!!!👍🏻
Really enjoyed the video Harold and Captain Dee. Thought that old Alligator was about to do a Amos Moses on your hand. lol You guys be careful , be safe and have a great weekend. 😊✌🎣🎣🎣🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
@@alantillman588 Dee was thinking that very same thing. It was a over due relaxing trip. Thank you for being a fantastic supporter and commenting
@@BoondockingCajunstyle lol...I think i hollered OH SH#T at the same time she did. 😁
@alantillman588 it did even though she knew where it was, still caught her off guard 😆 🤣
Thay slide all airboats slide 😮
@@normanhebert2388 yeap. I'm considering building a fuel tank that will fit as part of the front deck. Just to see how it will react
Look at my genius son
Glad to finally see her out on the water,needs a lil tweaking but it did great. Thanx for sharing.
@nickpellegrin I think on the next one I'll have everything working right
What gauge aluminum are you using for the hull ?
@@jerryterry6895 5086 .100" probably could have used .090" but I was concerned about warpage from the width being so wide
That looks like so much fun😃
@sassylovesdylan yes it is, very much so. Maybe once it's doing like I want, I may take a trip around the Henderson area.
I never saw anything like those swamp jacks.
@@eprofessio they work well. Thanks for watching and commenting
love the build tee. it was awesome to see the progress. also thats my favorite boat landing to bank fish and by the bridge. keep up the good work!
@@nickmenard6477 we are going to keep trying to get everything working the best that it can. I've spent a lot of time over the years around there. Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice build. As I've been following the build series, I've questioned the weight distribution. That back-end was sittin mighty low when you throttled up to get on plane. I was a touch worried that you'd come off the throttle to fast and take on water. I agree with you about moving a bit of weight forward. It's hard to know until you get it out on the water. But all in all, thats one fine machine. Keep up the Vids, We're lovin em all. Thumbs Up as Always!
Yes it is too heavy on the transom, I've moved everything up 3". So now I'm just going to keep moving stuff one at a time until I find just the spot the boat wants everything. Thanks for watching and commenting
Congratulations on the mini airboat a job well done !!!!
@davidasimkosr4641 thank you very much. And thanks for watching and commenting
Really an awesome boat!
@allkindsofoutdooractivities thank you. Hopefully, I can get the little bug worked out.
@@BoondockingCajunstyle hope so! Look forward to seeing it

Mans thats great, nice having a spare if one goes out too.
@growlith6969 next time I'm running it, I'll stop one of the engines just to see how it will act. Hopefully it would do good enough to be able to get back.
