    Dude I really enjoyed this video. but i always enjoy your videos. I am in my 70's and had a bad health year in 2016 but i could watch your fun videos while i was down and they encouraged me to get back up this year and get back outdoors as much as i can.

    I subscribed to your channel a good while ago by now, and I watched almost all your videos back when I first found you. Then my interests sort of fluttered away and I forgot your channel existed until this popped up in my feed yesterday. It was such a great little surprise to see this and have my memory reminded of your awesome and entertaining videos. And I must say this video did not disappoint my previous memories. You are one of the only youtubers I watch that genuinely make me laugh and keep me interested. Keep up the great work! I am looking forward to those upcoming trips you mentioned!

    • @TripSmith

    Another great adventure Trip. As always, thanks for taking us with you. The views were amazing, the stealth part added some to it all. Glad you made it ok through the storm. You never complain about things, you just make it fun even when the weather is bad, your hammock rips, your hands cold..lol

    BEST.VIDEO.YET. Trip, something bout live streaming before and during the adventure really amped up this experience. It made you feel like you were a part of the adventure. Brother, thank you for all you do. We got your back, too.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety

      Oh wow! Thanks Fernando! I haven't though about the live streaming amping up the adventure video as well.... very good thought.... I guess I'll be doing more live streaming. I would have been streaming on the subscriber trip if I would have had service.....

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety

      It's certainly a cool place. I think the water park you might be talking about has been taken down. It was a nice little dip!

    @vibelife5133 Před 4 lety

    That was wild the way you "blazed your own trail" up stone mountain, and stealth camped up there. It definitely adds to the fun and adventure instead of staying in the campground and taking the designated trail to the top.💪✌🤙

    Another Triptastic video my man. I enjoyed the additional hiking stealth camp, that was a nice touch. Also, the ukele comes through again. It was impossible not to sing along :) I'm glad you plugged the Patreon page. I think alot of folks would LOVE to help support you, and help you grow this channel. I think most folks don't really know that it is there. I would personally encourage anyone reading this comment to consider supporting the S&S channel through Patreon. Myself, and my entire family enjoy sitting down to a good ol Trip vid. Good humor, and good clean fun, I'm lovin it. The ol' subscriber trip is coming up soon isn't it???

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety

      Thanks bud! I appreciate your fabulous comment my man. I can only imagine the possibilities with a strong Patreon support group.

    Hello, I just came across another video of yours this morning and I'm already hooked!! I've had an interest in kayaking/SUPing and have been wanting to do some hammock camping too. I recently bought an inflatable kayak to take camping and such. I loved this video because Stone Mountain means so much to me. Every summer growing up we would go there and check out the laser light show,such great memories. I live in Missouri and we are actually planning some camping at Stone Mountain in July, I'm super excited about it! Thanks so much for the awesome videos and look forward to watching more!

      Nice! That was a rally fun and unique trip....

    Finally, I got to watch this. I've been busy 'Getting Out There' this week on my new Kayak.
    First. Bob Marley would be proud. Nice rendition.
    Second. Glad you made it through the storm OK.
    Third. Well done on the push for Patreon. I'm proud to support you because your message is inspirational and I know how hard that was for you to do. I'd like to see more of your work and Patreon can help you achieve that. As little $2 a month, you can't buy a magazine for that and there isn't a magazine out there that offers what you do. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned.
    Because of your inspiration, I've had two days this week of Kayaking and fishing and I hope it makes you feel better when I tell you, I caught not one fish. Not even a nibble. But it doesn't matter because it was all made better by the joy of just being out there and paddling.
    Thanks again Trip, I look forward to your next broadcast/video.

      Drynet! Wassup! Thanks, Bob has some good stuff.
      Great comparison on the magazine, I may need to borrow that one from you.... Ha! Well, it makes me feel better that you were able to Get Out There! Sometimes we can't catch anything... What a fabulous comment my man..... Thanks again!

    This was a really cool video to watch. It has been 70 degrees here in Pa. and I thought that I was going to be able to get the Native Ultimate 12 out soon. Then we got 13 inches of snow. I guess that the kayaking will have to wait a little bit longer. Great video!!

      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety +1

      Thanks dude! We didn't get rain during it, but before the trip. All was well though and there were several cameras rolling. Now just to put it all together and see what we've got.

  • @msczar63
    @msczar63 Před 7 lety

    Great video! Glad you are OK. I loved that you brought your ukulele! You make editing seem so easy. Can't wait to hear/see your Peace River trip. I did it in October and it was fun. We put in at night and saw the most beautiful owl. Planning next trip up the St. John's River. I am challenging myself to do the whole thing (310 miles) in 13 days..by myself. Your videos are helping me prepare and keeping me motivated. Have you thought about getting a drone for some of your trips? Trying to figure out how would you land it if there is nothing but swamp and water. Thank you for all you do!

    • @FerreiraHomestead
      @FerreiraHomestead Před 7 lety

      I got all the equipment too! Just got to get out. One thing that turns me off in Connecticut is that they don't allow fire pits on the Appalachian Trail for example... Although some people do it regardless! LOL I also have a nice canoe and want to do canoe/camping but this crap state I live in is very limited for that too.

    • @TripSmith

  • @bushpilotdude7154
    @bushpilotdude7154 Před 6 lety +1

    Hi I enjoy your videos! I do have a question. I noticed in this video that you are wearing a rather large backpack up the mountain. I didn't see it strapped to your kayak so I'm thinking that you store it in the yak until you get ready to hike. I don't think it would fit in the hatch fully packed so am I correct in assuming that you unpack it and store it that way while paddling and then when you get ready to hike do you then pack all your gear in it? Thanks!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 6 lety

      Hey bud! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yes, the pack was stored inside of the kayak unpacked.

    • @bushpilotdude7154

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  Před 7 lety

      +GaberTheSniper Gaming Haha! Maybe I'm a bit silly. Although most of the time I was sitting in the low spot mostly out of site. My tarp would be one really large mass of one color.

    • @gaberthesnipergaming8335
      @gaberthesnipergaming8335 Před 7 lety

      True that! Glad you didn't get caught and were able to spend the night up there, made for quite the experience I'm sure! And RIP (litterally) your hammock! Keep up the amazing content, really pumping me up to get back in the water if the snow can finally melt and stop coming down on us! (I'm from Québec, Canada) Really getting me jealous with your grass and trees and sun haha
