- Join me as I bushwhack and wade through a Florida swamp and give you a tour of my Bug Out swamp house. See what the swamp revels only to those who are willing to wade deep into this fantastic Eco system. This is the beginning of many visits as I repair and modify a covered screen porch in the swamp and make it a livable bug out location.
Music in the video from ArtList.com, Walls - by Dawn Chorus, Lost and Found - by Dan Lebowitz, and Wash Water by Wash Water'.

I have to admire the effort it took to get materials and tools out to the location. Great spot!
Thanks, it was slow going. I’m glad we are made with shoulders because they came in handy. Lol
Thanks for watching
Local Floridian here, always wanted to make a shelter in the swamplands behind the house. Nice video! Shout out to Sweet Water 420, Great Choice!
Hey, thanks for watching. Shelters or a camping platform in the swamp are the best bragging rights. lol. One of my extreme projects for that shack is to get solar out there and keep a mini fridge stocked with beer. 420s and Florida crackers. Cheers! Here's to the Florida life.
No gators?
Yeah, buddy.....would love some Florida swampland.
I live in Pasco County, FL.
There's probably gators especially if it's in Florida. They aren't half the threat the water snakes or mosquitos would be. Just keep your head up and don't have too many 420s while in the swamp and don't be a dippy and you'll be ok from gators. @@ReefOU812
Beautiful swamp.
There is so much to see in the swamp and it changes with the seasons. Thank you for watching.
You have a beautiful slice of nature there my friend. Keep up the work and enjoy your slice of heaven.
Thank you Chad. It’s kinda of like going on vacation on my way home from work. Wild blue berries are up. Shades of heaven.
Best real life and practical bug out I have seen! Except you posted it on CZcams WTF. Never show your cards, but I liked watching
You gave me the best idea brother!and I thank you.fl.native that lives in a swamp myself...
Cypress knees and Spanish moss. We have the best place to live. Thanks for watching.
My oldest brother had a swamp cabin on the Waccamaw River for years. You could only reach it by boat. Good times, great memories!
That’s great. Secluded camping on the water is unique. One of a kind experience. Thanks for watching.
In Horry Co SC?
@@LarryeWhite61 No, just above the SC line, in Brunswick County, NC. We'd put in at the Brooksville landing in SC and go up river to it.
That place is cool as it gets. Seclusion is gonna be something thats more valuable than just anout any commodity a person can imagine. To be in an area that nobody wants to try and find is priceless. To have a shack and also a defensible structure that is storm proof and flood proof made of concrete and then camouflaged would be the cats 🐈 meow.
Thanks. I would like to build a small concrete bunker higher in the pine flats but in the low swamplands it would be at risk of floods. Hope we never need to use them. Thanks for watching.
Getting concrete out to that swamp without a passable boat way would be damn near impossible without 20 more fellas with giant balls willing to help him
Ain’t that the sad truth about being a slave to the system, brother. You got a nice lil set-up John. Talk about peace & quiet PLUS privacy. 👌🏻
Much thanks. I think I would lose my mind now if I could not just go sit and be, in this little pocket of creation. Maybe I should make some videos of just the swamp. Kind of like the fish tank channel. lol
What a super cool cabin !! Im up here in North Central Ohio, and car is covered in ice tonite 2/24/22. I was looking for a comforting late night utube video n searched under (swamp cabin ) Thank you bro , just what I needed
Thank you brother. I have been trying to edit another video of the swamp house. Its easy to go play and record it but to sit down and cut out all the dead air and stuff is tough. Thanks for reaching out. Hope that ice starts to give way soon for you.
Burt Reynolds and Jerry Reed made some good movies the swamp in Florida!! One of them was (Gator)
Great old film. I’ll never get a jet boat in there. LoL
Water defeats tracking dogs...Nice!
Dang this is impressive! Hats off to you for trudging out there and braving that swamp. That kinda water kinda freaks me out on my hikes.
I love the view from inside there. Working on gettin somethin like this put together. Still daydreaming but I'll be living out there soon
Keep the vision. Make it happen. Thanks for watching
Reminiscent of Vietnam hooch . 👍
Congrats. I know you had to carry every stick.
New Sub also in Florida if we have like you said an iiiiiincident I've got a spot 10 miles deep in a mess of swamp figure like you said whose gonna wade 10 miles through swamp
Hey Nathan. Welcome to Florida and thanks for watching. Have you ever heard the saying " I have some Florida swamp land for sale, Like its a bad thing. LOL. I can't imagine not having some part of my land being a swamp. Not a bog but a cypress swamp. All kinds of critters out there. Our Neighbors told me two pumas were just trapped out here. Most likely from a south Florida zoo that was hit by a hurricane in the past. Hope I don't run into anything like that although it would make a fun video.
Good Luck and have a great weekend.
Regards
John Opper

Nice video love me some Florida swamps. I'm also from Florida not to far from LakeO. Always wanted a swamp shack. Maybe it's not too late. Don't think my county would take it too kindly building out in my neck of the swamp. Cheers.
out of site, out of mind. lol. If you own the land you should be fine. It can be categorized as a agricultural structure. Swamp life. 🌴
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983 Another Floridian here
I live near Tampa an i love watching these videos. Be careful out there
@@donnacole4227 Thank you for watching and reaching out. I'm east coast, south of Daytona. Ill make an effort not to let so much time go by between videos. Thanks for the positive message.
Palm Beach County Gladesman Checking in fellas
Just found you and your videos look awesome!!!
Linda from Missouri 👍🥰😊♥️
Thanks so much!!
Congratulation its beautiful place !!!
I do Florida boy here thanks now I know of a between me and you where to go when TSHTF and appreciate the walkway tanx
Nice from another swamp dweller in South Louisiana
Bet theres lots of crawfish in there chief they are delicious
You know. I should put a trap out. It’s had water in it for over a year now. It has its dry years. That would be great if they were in it. 🍻 thanks for watching.
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983
If not buy a couple sacks and let them free out back and in front then you'll be assured
@@drifter9425 I should order me up a bag from stale cracker. Pretty sure he sends them alive.
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983
Haven't heard of them but if you can't find any near you they probably have someone around here that may ship live
They live a good while if they just stay cool in shade best way is put sack in cooler with plug out and ice on top let it drip to cool
build a cool shelter, in the middle of a quiet forest, like you I also like to make shelter in the wild, maybe you like it
that willy wonka squirrel clip absolutely killed me mate
Thats cool the swamp house
Thanks for watching
very cool little shack! my question is how did you do the foundation? did you just post hole dig some 6x6 posts underwater into the ground? and if so, how have they held up over the 12 years submerged in water?
damn good question lol
Probably. Never built something like this, but here in the coastal carolinas (also a very swampy/marshy region), you can find all kinds of old petrified wood from all kinds of things that have been under the mud and water for god knows how long. Its almost like the wood gets harder and preserves in that sort of environment. I even know a guy who hunts for that sort of wood to build high dollar furniture out of.
Also, thanks for paying respect to the Ghost of Kiyv with your picture...
Greetings, I used treated 4” or bigger farm fence posts. The swamp bottom is around 2” of muck so I just drove the posts with a sledge hammer till they hit sand. I sure the post above the muck will rot eventually but not any where near as fast as the treated wood exposed to oxygen. The water is really brackish and seems to protect the posts.
The brackish water, yes!
Awesome.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great content.
Wet areas are exactly what you want. From what I've seen of soldier training they don't even mention swimming or operating in swampy areas. They are not trained to deal with it, and it would seem their firearm ammunition is unreliable if it's been even slightly too wet!
Cool setup
Thanks for watching.
awesome video 😊
NO SWEETHEART...LISTEN TO JORDAN MAXWELL AND SANTOS BONACCI. YOU CAN LIVE THERE FOREVER BECAUSE WE ARE ALL RICH BUT WE DON,T KNOW IT YET....IT IS ALL POSSIBLE BY KNÓWING TRUTH!!! Love you
I am find this to be truth. Thank you expression.
Spring Hill FLA , Nice Bugout spot Sweet Water 420 got to try that
It's a great tasting brew for sure. Thanks for reaching out .
halfway through the video he finally made it 10 minutes of talking
That's awesome! How did you get all those building materials out there; Are you somewhat close to civilisation?
Hey Caden. It was a lot of work spread out over many months. doing a little bit each weekend. I started by building a 2' wide walk walkway back into the area I wanted to build. you can see some of it towards the end of the video. I was able to roll my generator out there to run my compressor and saws. the lumber I tossed on my shoulder. Its about 150, 200 yards from the dry pine flats where i staged my materials. repairing has been more of an undertaking. I cant really wade some items out there so I have been trying to temp fix the old walk so I can make the upgrades. I want to put the repair on one video but as slow as its going Ill just pop in some updated till I can make it. thanks for watching.
MAN...I WOULD LÓVE TO SLEEP IN THIS PARADISE!! WE DÓ NEED A KLAMBOO, AGAINS MOSQUITOS!!!
Prety cool. Awesome camera.
Greetings D.J. Thanks for the support. Hope to put some new content up soon.
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983 Sounds awesome to me. I have to go back and watch more of your videos to have your vids in my feed.
@@DJMoore-001 Thanks. I am still looking for my focus. The swamp is my home, so that is the easiest to share. I see the chief wolf avatar. Are you one of the Waters wolf pack?
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983 You will find it. I like these videos. The Dog Solider is to honor my Great Grandmother, She was Blackfoot.
The truth of our world is in the teachings of the faith keepers of the native tribes. That is one of my truths. Thank you for shearing this.
I was born in the Danube Delta and mosquitoes are a pain in the ass in the summer
This was my first thought
I'm right here in central Fl. Skeeters are a 12 months per/yr issue. The wet conditions make horseback a vital part of life for these folks.
Not so bad. Other than myself there is not much for the mosquitoes to eat. Move out close to my animals and they get ugly. LoL . Thanks for watching.
New subscriber here. Great content! Love that hat dude!
Thank you. These hats are really cool. They are called the real deal. They are made from the canvas tarps of trucks that run through the Brazilian rain forest. When they get to warnout, this guy makes hats out of them. Only about 30 bucks too. Thanks for watching.
I love it when people like to brag on the internet how clever they are to have a secret
It’s not a secret. If someone wants to wander around a swamp to find it. LoL. I have never really thought about being clever. Just doing what I do. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching.
Make the swamp house great again Brother!…😃
You bet! Lol
Thanks for watching
I would build a lookout tower and ditch that ramp.
Ramp is getting demoed this winter. I like the tower idea. I’ll have to disguise it though in case somebody is scouting and sees it.
Thanks for watching.
Love the spot good deal.
Thank you for watching. Irie.
This is comfy
LOL. Thanks for watching. It did turn out to be the best project. Im trying to get back out to it soon. The goats are a handful for now, lol
This is really cool
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
Reminds me of Red Dead Redemption 2. Beware of the night folk out there
Will do. LoL . Thanks for watching.
Nice!!
A simple DJI drone would find that place easily… not to mention all the video with photos you took with your timestamp, and uploaded to CZcams
True. But if the day comes that I retreat to it. There won’t be access to internet and a drone operator will make the mistake of retrieving it. That will be unfortunate. It’s a place to retreat. Not hide. Thanks for watching.
Hey I've been here before lol jk nice place.
Hi I'm from Pennslyvania but when I was growing up I always visited my great grandparents and their orange trees in Lakeland Florida. I loved Florida. My hubby and I want to retire in the next couple of years and are thier any really inexpensive places to live left? We are broke but cant afford to stay whare we are at. We don't want to live near a tourest at trap. Just a quiet place whare no one will bother us. Are you not afraid of the alligators? I could understand being leary of water moccasins, we have copperhead and rattlesnakes plus a couple of water poisonous snakes. When I was small small I had a runin with a rattler on my grandfathers farm. It just missed me. Any advice in areas to look?
Hey. Hope your are well. Thanks for watching. I have family in Lakeland and grand babies there. that place has really turned into something. I surly hope you can find a piece of Florida that fills your soul. as far as cheaper places, that all depends on what and where you want to be. Away from any big metropolitan area is key. Ocala is a out of the way place. has a state forest there. center of the state will always be cheaper. Anything unincorporated. County. Not city limits. I don't care how small a city is, they will tread on you. I am in Volusia county. wish I was a little more south. we still get 1 or 4 days of cold (29 degrees) that keeps us from growing mangoes and such. I hate covering plants but all in all I love the swamp. Lots of people have started moving here in the last few years so things may have changed. 1 bedroom apartments are about 12 to 14 hundred a month. Come this September things are really gonna turn bad. At least for a few years. It might open up opportunities for you. Good fortune to you and your husband.
Interesting does it smell out there lotta stagnant water😮
Not at all. It actually has a very sweet smell. The water is very tannic so it does not get sour.
Thanks for watching.
It’s not stagnant water. Moves very slowly
Sasquatch Outpost Podcast series is broadcast from the museum on Main Street in Bailey Colorado
Thanks. I will check it out. Thanks for watching.
I found it, it’s pretty cool but ima make a couple changes
LoL, ok. As long as your paying for the materials. Thanks for watching.
LoL , ok. As long as your paying for the materials. Thanks for watching.
Do u ever see or hear Bigfoot or the Swamp Ape out there?
Once. Possibly. I thought it might be a neighbor that heard me splashing through the swamp but when I roared back I could not even come close to how loud it was. So I kinda lean toward an encounter.
Florida panther 🐆
I’ve thought about doing this too. I don’t live in FL, but I do live in gator/snake country. Are they a concern for you?
Hey, gators I don’t worry about. Cottonmouths in the warm months are a concern. I’ve had to dispose of a few during construction. Thanks for watching .
Hell yes
I’m in same area with same scenario. We should talk
I cant imagine the mosquitoes and flying bugs at night. Yikes
Honestly they are not that bad. There is not a lot of animals in the swamp. Little food. It is much worse up at the house. Thanks for watching p
Bro when you said a slave to the system i felt that in my core. 😢 Keep chugging along brother. Hows this place coming along?
Thank you. I will. The price on PT posts has slowed my plans some but I will keep building. Thanks for watching.
Alligators and other creatures???!!
Hey, No gators yet. LoL . Just cotton mouths and wild pigs when the water is low.
Thanks for watching.
I suppose you have a Anaconda awareness plan.
Saw this location when they filed empire of the ants movie
Hey, I remember that movie. Lol
ThNks for watching
You look like a cross from Farmtruck on Street Outlaws and Ron Desantis
ROFL I can see farm truck guy. DeSantis? 🤔
Thanks for watching
Good place for a steal!! lol
You got that right!
If I didn't lose my leg and 3 toes on my other foot I would be living in a cabin somewhere way off the grid
That makes things more difficult all around. All we can do is the best we can. Not being in a city and having awareness of the area around you puts you miles ahead of the general population. Off grid is to much for me as well. Until I’m forced into it. LoL . Then we fall back to, the best we can.
Thanks for watching.
Curious... do you have to purchase swamp land to do that? I would be worried the MAN would eventually get on your case and drive you out. Cheers!
Greetings. I do own the land . Not all of it is swamp. I play in the swamp. It’s my backyard. A big yard. LoL. Someone could build a cabin in a swamp that is far from state or county park lands and get away with it but someone hiking or hunting eventually might find the path to it and report it or vandalize it. But the chance is very small.
Thanks for watching.
@slidingwithsasquatch6983 -- thanks. That makes sense and look forward to more video. Cheers 🍻
How is hunting, fishing and food gathering in that area ?
Fishing is great. Hunting can be good if your not picky. and there is no trouble foraging. plenty of roots for making flour (cattail and yuca), greens and palm hearts. seasonal berries. I'm sure there is more, I just need to find time to do more research. Thanks for reaching out.
👍
How long did it take to build, and do you ever encounter gators trying to get to your shelter?
Greetings, Boy that is a tough one. I worked on it off and on for 6 to 8 months. some times just 2 or 3 hours a week. then I would spend all weekend, sun up to sundown. I started building the walk way to the location. that was most of the work because everything had to be carried in the water. once the walkway was complete I was able to roll a generator and compressor out there to build the shelter. I've not encountered any gators yet. They most likely would only be passing through to one of the near by lakes. I have had many stand offs with Water Moccasin. I am going to try and get some of the latest footage up soon. the house was under water after our big storms.
Thanks for watching.

what is the background music
Greetings. Thanks for the heads up. I need to put that in the info box for sure. I pulled it off ArtList.com. The first is "Walls, by Dawn Chorus." the second is "Lost and found by Dan Lebowitz" and the third is "Wash Water by Wash water" Thanks for watching and reaching out.
Suburban Estates?
Greetings. I’m fairly rural. There are big population centers nearby but most lots are 10 acres or bigger in my area. Thanks for watching.
Lidar and infa- red can find it.
General population don’t own IR, It will only be needed for the first 72 hrs. If someone wants to wade in the swamp I think they can find it.
Thanks for watching.
The trouble with this is you have bugged out into a swamp..
It just buys time via the difficulty of a travel. 2 weeks is all I feel it will be useful. After that its uncharted. Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Hope we never need to use such places.
Imma city boy... Can someone help me understand? Wouldn't this swamp be dangerous due to gators?
Not really any food in this swamp for gators to hang out. I’m sure they do make their way through to the lakes around me. Wild gators are very wary of humans. It’s only after they’ve been fed by humans that they lose their fear and become dangerous. They are hunted in this area so they retreat .
Thanks for watching
Mosquitos Will spoil it.
Greetings. You know they can. lol but for some reason they are very light out there. Lack of food perhaps. I guess if we spend any time out there that will change. I have a very heavy population of dragonfly's that are helping with that. Just hope the ticks never boom.
Thanks for watching.
You keep the moccasins thinned out ?
Greetings. I don't make an effort to, but if I'm working or playing in the swamp and one or two make them selves known, then I will go on the offence. I know they play their part and as long as they do not become a big problem, I live with them. If they weren't so aggressive I would not worry about them but I have removed a quite a few . The racoons love them. Thanks for watching.
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983 I've never seen one be aggressive here but they don't yield either. Ones here will vibrate tail like a rattlesnake coiled up
@@alabamaoutdoors4468 I've seen them do that or just sit still. I've had some ready to strike with the cottonmouth displayed as I was about to pass. I had a couple swim at me while I was wading in a lake fishing. Only to see them go under about 30" away. That's the worst. I'm sure I look like Shaggy popping out of the water then busting out the walking on water skills. ROFL.
Nobody bothered you for doing this in the Everglades?
No trees were harmed. It was built where it was logged back in the early 80s. Thanks for watching.
16x20? looks more like 10x10 lol
There is a porch on one end. It’s not big for sure. LoL.
Thanks for watching.
I wouldn’t mind if u was withme
The only problem is anybody comes out there and you are a Sitting Duck you won't even see them until it's too late
I hope not. LoL they might be good folks and just trying to hide to. but they will need to slosh through the water, so we might hear them coming.
Thanks for watching
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983 understood I hear you I copy that I am 7 years old and I've been going out in the woods for at least 50 going on 60 years and what I'm worried about when I get out of civilization so to speak you don't know what you're going to encounter or who you're going to run into I am always concerned I am not nervous and I am armed and I am ready it is not a place for you to be a relaxed tourist you cannot take your safety for granted that's my main point good luck with you and to you and for you
@@slidingwithsasquatch6983 I said I was 70 years old not seven I wish
What part of Florida is this?
I’m in central Florida, east coast.
Thanks for watching.
There's no Gators in that swamp are you in Florida swamps or somewhere else there has to be Gators there
No gators. There might be one that passes through but there are lakes with more food then the swamp. Thanks for watching.
If no one can find it how can anyone get there?
They will need to be invited and I will lead them. It’s not a bad walk. Just a wet one. Thanks for watching.
Watch me like you’re copying off of somebody else
Any idea you’ve ever had in the swamp, someone else has already done it lol
You talk too much
Why is it you are wearing a shirt with satans hand sign?
That’s a turn off
Greetings. I thought Satan has a hoof. LoL I guess we all see what we want to see. I try to see love.
Thanks for watching
Judging by the the surf clip I’m pretty sure I know where you are, but I’m not interested in going there. 👍 cool vid 🤙🏻
🤙 thanks for watching
do you own the land or is it just a patch apart of a greater park or property you’re tucked in?
I own it. It is a big piece of land with a little spot to build a house on. Nobody wanted it.
Get a Honda atc and you won’t have to walk out there anymore 🫡
Greetings. It’s on my to do list. Lol. Thanks for watching.
