I love how you went back to your more old style of editing no music just some raw footage, I feel like no music adds a certain feel of serenity, and almost peacefulness, I hope you keep this style, thanks for another awesome video
Glad you like it, I think I do as well and I should be sticking to it. You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Trip Smith I agree so many ppl feel the need to add music and it's obnoxious.
your attitude is infectious I love your videos
Thanks Brian! I appreciate that bud.
I loved this video. This is one of my favorite spots to paddle. It's really cool to see it from someone else's perspective.
+litewinger So happy to hear that! Definitely one of my favorites to!
Florida springs are our hidden gems in my opinion. When all the tourist flock to the beach see head to the springs. Great video I'm getting out on my own kayak camping once every 2 months now thanks to you
I agree 100%. I have been to a handful of them but I'm going to start trying to visit more of them. Thanks for the comment Blake and I'm happy to hear you're doing some yak camping of your own man! Awesome!
I went there as a child and again as a teen. I have driven by as an adult. We would take water melon and stick it in the water while we swam, tubed or jumped from a dive platform. By the time we ate a picnic lunch that water melon was cold. Great memories! Thanks for bringing that back with this great video.
It's a great place, beautiful! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Trip. These keep getting better and better. Have fun on the next adventure!
Glad you think so Eric, I really appreciate your kind words. I'll try! Hope you get a chance to as well!
I like your style. Short on macho bragging. Long on good fun enjoying natural beauty. Your videos show that anybody can enjoy trips like yours, if they just get out and do it, and have a good attitude.
Thanks Tom! I see no need for any bragging, just fun! You are exactly right, anyone can do them. Doesn't take anything or anyone special to do it. Thanks for watching and for the great comment ;)
this is what I've been looking for great video can't wait to watch the rest
Awesome Glen, glad you found it! Hope you enjoyed it bud.
I;m surprised there were not other people there. Good for you Trip. Great video man. Thanks for sharing them. Love the adventure.
There were, but not very many. On the weekends it's a different story. Glad you enjoyed it Joe!
Another great adventure. Thanks for taking us along Trip. ~Bonnie
Thanks Bonnie! Much appreciated!

This totally made my friday! A new adventure with SailingandSuch...and in the the rain and all. I have a philosophy about rain when paddling..."It´s only water" and it keeps me dry and happy all day long. :-) Nice springs and glad you caught some crawfish! This is totally my favorite CZcams-channel, no question...Thanks!
Sweet! That's right, as long as it's not freezing cold lol I'm glad I caught some to, they were delicious. Glad to hear that, means a lot Magnus. Thanks for the awesome comment.

Great as usual, looks a lovely area
I appreciate that Keith! Definitely a nice area for a short and easy trip.
Really enjoy your videos. You're like everyman. We all forget to pack stuff, and you're not afraid to share that, even though you could have edited it out.
Glad you do Robert, thanks! That's true I could have edited it out. Why leave out the good stuff though huh? Thanks for the comment and yes, I'm just like every other man, no doubt.
Leaving for my first Kayaking trip tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration and advice!
AWESOME!!!!!! Have a blast!!!!!!
I had an awesome time! Learned I need more bug spray than when I go backpacking.
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it. At least you don't have to carry the extra bug spray weight on your back.
wow . what a place . looking forward to you next adventure brother .
It was quite the place no doubt. Thanks for the comment John!
amazing video like always. I love that area, its a very crowded spot on hot summer weekends and holidays because of the cool water. Thank you.
Thanks a ton Jeffry! You are right about it being crowded at times.... lol
Trip! Awesome video man. Enjoying this on my lunch break. Gonna try and get my yak in the water this weekend.
Haha! Thanks, really had a great time on this one.... Do it!!!

Awesome video Tripp 😊 I enjoyed watching your adventure to the springs, that would be an amazing kayak adventure I'm about a 4 hrs drive from Georgia !!! Awesome !!!!
+Danny Whitlock I think it may be worth the drive. Fabulous spot, was back there last week for a day trip.
Great video, I love your camping trips especially the 3 day trips. I am happy to see the amount of videos that you are uploading recently. keep at it!
Thanks JW! Trying to get into a more frequent upload schedule, I know it will be a good thing. I'll keep the camera rolling!
have you decided where your next trip is going to be?
I think I have..... I'm going to try going down to Grayton Beach in Florida. There is a lake they recently connected to the gulf with a new man-made reef nearby.... Should be fun!
I'm in the process of moving to the panhandle.

Never heard of kayak camping before watching your videos, but thanks to you I went with my sister and a gf a few weeks back on Holmes Creek. Now I am hooked!! I plan to explore all of Holmes Creek this year and find as many of its hidden springs as I can, and gonna try using my ISUP for camping as well as kayak, because I can go more places with it. Love your videos! Hoping to go to Rock a Dock this year but not sure yet
Great video!!!
Thanks a ton!
Great video! I'm gonna have to check that place out.
Thanks Kenton! Definitely go check it out, very cool place.

+Moretti Pyrotechnics I love that place! Hope you enjoy it bud!
I had sent you a question about your s&s long sleeve blue shirts. are they available with a paddle on arm sleeve?
Hey Trip it's Henry
Awesome video! I can't believe how clear that water is! It's so cool! Craw fish are my favorite food and it looked so good. That camp site looked great too! Going kayak camping in a couple weeks should be good. Thanks a lot!
Henry Schneider
What's up Henry!!!!! I know it, I love clear water, it's my favorite for sure.... They are some of my favorite things to eat as well. The campsite was pretty nice, would have been interesting if I would have had to rig up a tarp lol. Hope you enjoy your trip! Remember, if you're not having fun, you are doing it wrong!
Hey I love the videos they are amazing! Makes me happy every time I watch one!!!!
Awesome man, glad to hear that. Thanks Chase!
+SailingandSuch welcome keep up the good work!
Will do!
Great paddle, love the water, reminds me of areas back home in New Zealand.
Thank you Bush, I love it as well.
Good stuff! Beautiful area! Always enjoy watching your adventures & picking up some great Pro-TIps. BTW.... your ringtone @ 13:12 I like where your heads at
Glad you think so matt, I appreciate it. Pro tips? Haha. I'm not a pro, just experienced lol Experience by recovering from mistakes... Awesome ringtone huh? lol
I just watched your video, and I have to say you've got some great content!!!
Hey thanks Jared! There is a lot more where that came from ;)
@@TripSmith Thanks! I'm getting ready to take my new Star Pike, down Rock Springs Run and do some Primitive camping. It's cool to see some of your setups and adventures and learn new knowledge.
dag your making them crawfish sound great!! Like that stove thing too... looks to be working out great!!!
They were delicious!!! The stove worked like a charm up there....
Some really nice diving footage mate and beautiful scenery , a lot different to where I’m from 🤘
Thanks! It's an awesome area!
Good video! Well done!
Thanks Emanuel! Nice knives huh?
have you ever thought about buying a inflatable kayak for the fun of it
Fantastic!
Thanks Clinch!
Great video I love it
Thanks Alex!!!!
Another great vid
Been scouting my local area for some good places camp myself👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks 2d. Hope you find something. Sometimes you may have to end a rule or two, just be sneaky..... (you didn't hear that from me) lol
+SailingandSuch Lol hear what? Lol
Oh hell no!!! Those tunnels freak me out! Good video.
Hehe, yea they are little weird going into the first time.....
Awesome video Trip! My wife has family in Mariana, FL and she said she has been here with them before when she was younger. I'll have to check this place out one day.
Thanks JT! It's a very cool place man. Check it out next time your there for sure.
First viewer and that was just cool. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Love your vids! When's the next one coming??
Thanks Josh! Missed you comment bud.... The next one now? Ummm pretty darn soon. Maybe tomorrow? ;)
Absolutely the best video I've seen in a long time. I felt like I was there. I just bought a FeelFree Kayak and cant wait to get out and enjoy camping. Please tell me your top 5 videos you've made so I can share them with my 5000 Facebook friends! Thanks again. I really apprecited the hard work you put into it.
Oh wow Tim! Thanks for the awesome comment! Sorry for the delayed reply. Some reason CZcams is messing me up and I've missed a ton of comments!!!
My top 5 videos? Ummm. Probably this one, Dead Lakes, "That Crazy Fun Kayak Guy?". There is the top three. I'd greatly appreciate the share!
Great video, Trip!!
I appreciate it Jake!
+SailingandSuch you should do a truck tour!
Truck tour? As in show you my truck or take a trip on the truck?
+SailingandSuch Like make a video of your truck, if you have had anything done to it like a lift kit or anything
Ah, gotcha! I really don't have anything done to my truck. I used to have a lifted truck but not anymore. I kind of have a cool toolbox setup lol But it may not be relevant. Eventually though I'd like to get a little Toyota 4x4 truck though for taking on my adventures and I'm sure I'd do a video on it.... One day!
Great vid Trip. I just finished my 5 day Everglades adventure. You should really try it if your looking for a challenge. Just make sure you bring a Moskito net for your hammock! Great fishing as well. Looking forward to future vids.
Thanks Jack! Wow, that would be fun! I've heard the bugs are relentless down there.... I'm looking forward to the future as well, thanks for watching and commenting.
I would love to kayak during the rain, it looks:sounds do peaceful
It's nice when it isn't cold out, or when it's not a lightning storm......
Great video and great channel. Always happy when I see a new upload. I don't live too far from there and would love to kayak those springs. Where exactly did you put in?
Thanks Jared! Really appreciate that bud. Um, its a landing on Day Loop road in Mariana. Sorry for the delayed reply. Some reason CZcams is messing me up and I've missed a ton of comments!!!
Thank you for your inspiration to 'Get Out There'.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Subscribed....cool, knowledgeable guy. I bet he's nice to people.
Thanks for subscribing! I try to be as nice as I can ;)
Great video man. I'd love to kayak there.
Much appreciate Jay! Make it happen bud!
Great video mate! You've got some beautiful nature over there in the US.
Thanks! You are right, I'm very lucky to live where I do.... Thanks for watching!
Im going there soon. Went up Omussee a few times. I like it alot and how easy it is to get in and out of. Caught several good size fish also.
Sorry for the delayed reply. Some reason CZcams is messing me up and I've missed a ton of comments!!! I'd like to go to Omussee and do some fishing soon. It's in the plans at least!
Coolest video yet. Not sure I can do the whole tunnel thing. Scary. =X
Thanks! Yea, the tunnel thing was pretty neat and a tad risky but I went for it. Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great adventure.. keep it rolling dude!! I'm just kind a scared seen a bull G around.., u know this time of the year in any Florida river or pond ..but luckily the spring water temp sometimes keeping them out.
Glad you think so Willy! Yea, I was hoping the cool water kept them out.... Never seen any down there or heard of them down there so I took my chances. I'll keep the camera rolling!
Love your vids mate g'day from down under In Sydney!!!
Mick
G'day!!!! Glad you enjoy them Mick. THanks for watching.
nice bro!
Another amazing video. You do such an awesome job. Everything just had such a nice flow. What editing program and video camera are you using? I’m going to have to research the areas you camp. They all look so cool. Great job, Thanks for posting.
Glad you thought so, it turned out well in my opinion also. I'm pleased with it. I'm editing with Corel Video Studio Pro x9. My camera is the Olympus TG870 good camera, not perfect but it's the best one I can find that does what I need it to.
Check them out! Go on an adventure! You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
Here is a link to a short video on my camera if you're interested - czcams.com/play/PL-fvZ7RpVpmlLRKyvM2Al-DqXoDBTuEsK.html
Hi Trip!
I love all of the videos! Quick question, did you film this adventure on the Olympus TG-850? I just picked up a GoPro Session but it's kind of a pain messing with the iOS App... I'm thinking about swapping it for the TG-870.
Thanks!
Hey Jason! Glad you enjoy them bud. Actually I got a slightly newer TG860 which is nearly identical. If you are wanting to film with some audio and also film yourself, then I think the Olympus TG's are the best option out there at the moment. I'd switch personally....
I was working down in Marianna FL after the hurricane until I broke a bone in my leg and a bone in my ankle the place was absolutely destroyed. Hope y’all are doing good now!
Aw man hate to hear about your injury... I think they are still pretty messed up down there....
Awesome video as usual! Random question...what are the shoes you are wearing. They look similar to the croc sandals. I've need something for floating and just wanted your input. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Will! They are new to me for about 4 weeks now I'd say and they are my go-to shoes no doubt! They are the Croc Swiftwater shoes. Was turned onto them by another CZcamsr, Adventure Outdoors, and I bought some and can't get over how much I like them..... I'll keep them coming bud! Here is a link for ya - amzn.to/1Y1Fq2n
Awesome videos man. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel. I really like the line that you hand your gear on, think it's genius. What kind of gloves are you using when swimming?
Thanks Brandon! That Gear Hanger is a life saver out there..... Ummm, some I got from Lowe's. Not sure what they are called but they are great for that purpose.
