    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      The camera.... Well it's ok other than salt and rust in the USB ports, salt crystallizing being the lens and flash.... I'm thinking it's a gonner lol Take the time, it can be fun once you get the hang of it. The pay-off is worth it. I'll keep the camera rolling (another camera).

    Great video. I used to live in Miami when I was younger and this brings me back. I am now in Ajax Ontario Canada and though we have heaps of lakes and rivers, nothing beats South Florida. I bought a yak because of your vids. Cheers.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Thanks cadman! Glad you enjoyed the video! South Florida certainly could be considered a paddlers paradise.... A big goal of mine is to get down to the Florida Keys for a week soon. WOuld be a fabulous trip! Glad you decided to join in on the fun. Hope you get lots of enjoyment out of your new yak! What did you end up buying?

  • @Mike...921

  • @dennislindsey9357
    @dennislindsey9357 Před 4 lety

    Hey Mr. Smith. In the video you discuss the down side of having a cooler with ice. I would suggest that you use some dry ice along with some water ice. The dry ice will lower the cooler temp and the water ice will last for several days. Yes, i use this method regularly on multi-day canoe trips.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 4 lety +1

      That's true..... I'm party just lazy in that regard and don't want to deal with it. I don't mind the hot stuff so much lol

    YEA! You're back!! Missed your videos....you crack me up. "kinda sketchy"...lol! My son and I always think of you when we're eating our avocados. I recently had to drag my kayak up a steep hill and nearly busted a gut ;) Keep up the great work!!! BTW....I don't like crocs but those aren't too bad!! :)

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety +1

      YEA! Glad you find them fun to watch! That's awesome lol Love those avocados! Ha, yea I was happy to not to have to drag it back up the hill, it would have been a challenge for sure but mayb not as hard as running 2.4 miles now that I think about it..... lol You are right, they aren't to bad. I was hesitant even when I first bought them but after wearing them though, they are just about all I want to wear. They are the first thing I grab..... If you're on fence, GET SOME!

    Hey I saw your comment on the video influencers live stream and see your into kayak camping. We are on the other side of the world in Australia and we love our kayaking. We are just on the way into summer now so this season we are going to get on the water more. We have 2 kayaks but reluctantly I am going to have to sell my strip planked wooden vessel as we need to downsize to a single that can take the 2 of us. Great channel keep up the great work Regards Russell

    5 minutes in and you've reminded me of the pea river trip. I think that was one of the first that I watched. Think I'll have to replay after this new one is done!

    • @nevetsreyd4688
      @nevetsreyd4688 Před 8 lety

      Ps: Great vid. Shame about the camera. I really like the stealth camping. You should do some more like this. Can't wait til it warms up a bit here. I've got a kayak adventure in mind.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety +2

      The Pea River, that was a fun one. Speaking of it, I actually found out that the dam I portaged around has broken. I'm thinking of making another trip out there and checking it out. Should be pretty cool.
      Yea, my poor camera... I like the stealth camping as well. I wonder though if I'll ever get in some sort of trouble posting "illegal" camping on CZcams lol Hope you get to take your adventure sooner than later!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Thanks Dismal! Yea, I made sure where I left it that it wasn't visible from the road. It was only visible from the water and there weren't hardly any people out there, if any.... Maybe a canoe or something. If it were a higher traffic area I would have hidden it really well. Always!!!

    Nice video! Looks like you camped right next to the rv campground pretty much...we RV'ed there in June. I had no idea about the "turtle reef" I feel robbed now! Nice DIY tarp! You ever wish you had a hammock with bugnet?

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Thanks!!!! Yea, I was pretty close to it, looked pretty nice. Hate you missed it when you were down! All the more reason for another trip. Thanks, love my DIY tarp and hammock. Hammock with bugnet? Nah, don't really think i would like it. Bugs aren't constant, sometimes they are there and sometimes they aren't. Not sure if you can remove the bug nets from the hammocks or not but I image they make you a little warmer than you would be without one. I do carry a small piece of "bugnet" like material that I bought at Walmart in the fabric section for a few bucks. I use it when I need it and it does just fine.

    great vid Trip, i woulda like to have seen footage of you getting back in the yak in deep water though lol ....how did that go? i struggle with it myself. if u getta chance film that one time

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Glad you think so! Thanks for watching! I was planning on filming that, the second time getting back in but.... well you know what happened I guess. It went pretty well actually. I'll get it on film for ya ;)

    @HenrikJohnsson87 Před 8 lety

    Yes! Have been longing for this! I did a kayak-trip myself, my first this summer, in the swedish archipelago, and man, was it awesome. Loved every bit of it! Anyways, thank you for sharing your moments again. And sorry about the camera :P ANd btw. The audio is not that bad with the GoPro when the waterproof casing is off. :)

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Yes!!!! Your first trip! CONGRATS!!! Yea, it's unfortunate about the camera but it happens.... You are right about the audio without the case. But then it'll just get wet.... Sony or someone needs to let me design a camera!

      By the way - I saw that the neck croakie you have is no longer sold (company is out of stock and seems to be out of business?)
      Have you encountered anything similar, that floats the eyeglasses and also wraps around the neck?

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Oh wow, that's no good. I haven't ever seen anything else like it. Hate that for the company...

    If you split your paddle you can use them like ski poles and push yourself through shallow parts.

    At last, S&S is back! Great video, when you left the beach going to Turtle Reef... reminded me a bit of Castaway :-) Really like your UW-footage, but have you tried using a red filter on your camera, or post edit to make color correction?
    Thanks for the awsome video, can´t wait for the next one! (thumbs up)

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

    Hey man, I just discovered your vids, and I appreciate them.
    I am going to buy a sea kayak to paddle for long distances and to sometimes have fun with going fast, but I can't know if it is better to buy a plastic kayak or a fiber one.
    Can you help me ?
    Sorry for my bad english btw, I'm french.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety +1

      Glad you enjoy the videos! No problem with the language. Well, it all depends on your budget really. A plastic one will certainly work but a fiber yak like an "Epic" brand would be faster but also more expensive. Go with whatever you can afford.

  • @noahjarmon6289

      Glad you enjoy them Noah!!! Absolutely! Sorry I'm unable to put unlimited options on the website... I may need to work on that. Shoot me an email though and I'll fix you up bud. (can't put an email address in the comment but it's on the website ;))

    I tie hot drinks up with some cord and throw them in the ocean. I don't know what the water temps are down there, but in North Carolina it only takes about 5 minutes to cool my gatorades down to a reasonable temperature. Try it next time your out, its *way* better than drinking hot gatorade that's been sitting on or in your kayak.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety

      The water temps down here in the summer are pretty darn warm, to warm to cool off drinks for sure. Except in the winter but then you don't need to cool them down lol Good tip though!

  • @RobGb100
    @RobGb100 Před 7 lety

    Kinda jealous of that clear water, white sand beaches and sunny weather but glad my trips out don't need to factor in alligator, cotton mouth's and shark ;-) Cool Vid.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety

      There are trade off for everything for sure. I'd love to experience what you have in your area as well I imagine. Thanks for watching and commenting Rob!

    • @RobGb100
      @RobGb100 Před 7 lety

      The sea around here is cold so a dry suit is often the ideal garb to venture out in, beaches are a mix of pebbles, shingle and sand..not always on the same beach and being in the Thames estuary area the water is often cloudy so that the only time you see something while snorkelling is when your head hits the sea bed ;-)
      That said, being out on the water is very relaxing and a huge stress antidote.
      Thanks for your reply and your service, your job is not an easy one if I understood correctly that you are in the fire service.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety +1

      Thanks Bruce! Ummmmm, I can't recall without going out and checking it..... It's nothing super special though. I bought it at Academy. They have a decent selection I guess. I didn't but the cheapest or the most expensive, I think it was $60. I do own one of the cheapest ones and I will say the $60 paddle is a better paddle to use, no doubt.

  • @henry_schneiderhenryschnei340

  • @Jason-qe4tp
    @Jason-qe4tp Před 5 lety

    Dig a hole in the sand - 2ft or so, put a stick in the middle - bigger that hole, cover what you want to stay cold in a ziplock or plastic bag - sand block, place items in hole and cover, remove stick leaving you with a hole, then pour water in stick hole and cover hole, next day = cold food and drinks...;)

    • @TripSmith

    @cup_and_cone Před 7 lety

    Coincidence I see this video now... I was just at Grayton State Park a couple weeks ago; was on a trip and stopped by to check it out. Next time you are in the area, checkout 'South of Philly' for lunch on Hwy 393. Stopped there because of the reviews and the hamburgers definitely lived up to the hype!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety

      Lol I'll have to check out that hot spot. I LOVE good burgers!

  • @sgtmcalpin
    @sgtmcalpin Před 6 lety

    Just for future reference all that tall grass near the water is called black tip needle grass (we usually call it saw grass) and it burns like crazy. Good idea not to have a camp fire around that stuff. Plus just about everything in Florida burns quite readily. We have wildfires all year round. Nice video. Thanks.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 6 lety

      Gotcha! Thanks for the good info!

  • @superdave54811
    @superdave54811 Před 8 lety

    Great looking water. Great to see you out on the Yak again. The area you camped looks like the wooded area on Dauphin Island, Alabama. The water looks far better. We have all the silt from Mobile Bay muddying up the water here. But we do have great fisheries. And crabbing is outstanding.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Oh yea, it's gorgeous down there. Dauohin Island, I've been told I need to go down that way for a trip. I'm sure I'll end up there eventually.... Good crabbing aye? I love good crabbing! Is the water clear enough to wade for them?

    • @superdave54811
      @superdave54811 Před 8 lety

      SailingandSuch If it has not been raining so much. Gig for flounder or scoop up crabs wading. Waters can be crystal clear at times, but often it has some sediment. You must come over when there has been clear weather for a week or so. I'd be glad to help point you in some areas to tackle. Love your videos, keep it up and keep 'em coming.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Gotcha. A really close family friend is the game warden down there in Baldwin County. He has told me a good bit about it and I'm ready to get a trip over there sometime in the future. Thanks for the tips sounds like a good place!

    • @superdave54811
      @superdave54811 Před 8 lety

      SailingandSuch Baldwin County is great too. In fact, the south end has lots to offer a man on a yak. Not that Mobile County doesn't. Each is unique. I wish I knew when a Jubilee would happen. That would be a glorious night for you. Every aquatic species rushes to shore during a Jubilee in Mobile Bay. Only one other place in the world does that and it is in Japan. Check out South West Baldwin Co. on Google Earth. It also has loads of history. Pirates, Spanish and French explorers. It is said that one such Pirate left behind a structure made from a cement mixed with oyster shell. I'd be happy to help ya out anytime if you make it this way. Thanks again for the vids, love it!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 8 lety

      Thanks for the offer for showing me around! I appreciate that as sometimes you just don't know where to go... The Jubilee! He has told me about that. I forgot I wanted to do a video on it.... Thanks for reminding me! I'm going to have to see if I can figure out when it will be.
      Sounds like a very cool place steeped in history!
