❓QUICK QUESTION❓ What was your favorite part of the video?
checking out the village was good
+dismaldog Thanks bud!
SailingandSuch the cool little tunnel you had to lay down to get thru. I like old stuff like that. Old bridges, buildings. Cool find!
One was you on stage. I have seldom seen someone enjoy life as much as you do in your videos, that is the way life should be lived, with boundless energy and enjoyment in everything. Your energy and attitude is contagious and a person can't help but smile because of it. Keep doing it. Great video.
How excited you are to be out there!!! AWESOME!
My son and I took a three day trip down the Suwannee. Thanks to Trip for making this video we got in contact with Dale at SPG. Couldn't have been better! The river camps are Insane! They're like resorts for Kayakers.
Dale hooked us up and we couldn't have had a better time! Thanks Again!!
That's awesome to hear! Glad yall enjoyed yourselves! It is a resort for paddlers for sure! Hope yall are planning your next trip.
Loved this 2 part series! Just booked two River camps for next month! Let's goooooo.
Trip Dippppppppppppppppppppp!
Helped plan my honeys and I 14yr anniversary. This weekend. WAHOO!! No baby!! Always an adventure..
Excellent Jennifer! Hope you two have a great time! Always!
Hey Bud! Your the reason we have paddled the Suwannee three times since we got our kayaks back in February 2020! We just finished 73 miles of it, and those videos are now posted! Keep filming man, great content!
Ha, that's great, it's a wonderful river isn't it? So glad yall are Out There making it happen! Will do, thankya!
Re-watching this video in preparation for my first time kayaking and camping at Suwannee
Awesome! Have fun!
When you went into that spring house on Day 2, on the way out you had me scrunching down trying to help push the stern with the cooler down an extra 1/4 inch. Watching your videos inspire me to get back “out there”. Thank you.
Love the videos! I'm getting into kayaking and camping again because of you! Looks like a blast! And it took my mind off all the stuff around me here in Texas and the Houston area! That's Trip! Keep rocking in the free world!🤘
Hey thanks Dustin! Glad to hear your getting back after it my man, it certainly is a blast. Stay safe down there bud, keep rockin!
Thanks for all the cool videos Trip. Me and my dad love watching them and by the way we love your music. Good luck and stay safe.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoy them and the music! You two take care.
We just finished our first overnighter on the kayaks, from white springs to Suwannee music park. We had such a blast, your videos were a great source of inspiration and information! We can’t wait to hit more rivers here in the southeast.
Hey awesome! Glad yall enjoyed the trip and the videos.
Man, you couldn't pay me to go into portajohn barefoot. Your reaction coming out was killer. I woke my wife up because I was laughing so hard! Thanks for another great video.
Haha! Yea well.... I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer at times.... Glad you enjoyed it Mark! You're welcome!
Amazing adventure.
Nice! That is a great trip! We love our Suwannee!! We could have definitely joined y'all, maybe next time.
Sure was Laurel! That would have been cool to have run into some other paddle to hang with. Next time for sure!
The village and tree was cool to see! Great job on the video as always thank you for doing what you do!
+Danny Gomez Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your input ;-)
Trip your a trip!!! Always enjoy the vids bro. Glad to see you out there again and I hope the family is doing well my friend!!!
Lol Thanks! Family is great, all the best to you and yours as well.
SailingandSuch when can we expect part 2?
Love watching your videos man I started last year and it’s finally convinced me to get a kayak of my own so I can do some kayak camping up here in northern British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 👌👌 keep up the good work man
Glad you enjoy watching and so cool to hear you are going to be getting yourself a yak!!!! I hope you LOVE IT!!!! Thanks for the great comment! 👍😋
It's cool watching the production values of your videos increase, and your filming and editing improve. Keep it up!
Thanks Jason! It's fun trying to increase the quality. Glad you can tell '-)
Great trip, done this many times. Trip, you might want to consider covering up; skin cancer is no joke. I wear quick dry nylon long sleeves by Hanes, very inexpensive, lightweight and cool to wear available on Amazon.
Thanks Johnny! If I don't have on sleeves I have on a good bit of sunblock. I may have to take a peak at those sleeves though. Thanks for the info!
Great video. Spent a lot of my childhood and my young adulthood swimming in Suwannee springs and jumping in off the wall you were on. I've also canoed that river several times. Water appeared very high but I'm sure it was fun none the less. Looks totally different now compared to when I lived there.
Oh cool Daniel! Yep it was for sure high. I may have enjoyed it more at lower water where I could have seen the bottom of the river lol Glad you enjoyed it!
Thnk u for this. Was always wondering how to enjoy the Suwannee via camping. Had no idea the ammenities. Cant wait to watch pt 2
You're welcome! Yea go take advantage and enjoy yourself!
I did this trip with a buddy whi came down from Illinois to go..did White Springs to Swanannie River state park..about 48 miles..we camped on sandbars and fished..stopped at the river camps in the morning for showers...he tells everyone he gained 6 pounds..fish and cobblers every night...great trip
Oh awesome! Sounds like he enoyed himself ;) Glad to hear it!
I am starting this trip with my old man and a couple of buddies of mine March 22nd! Super stoked!
That's awesome griff! Hope yall enjoy it!
Great video, made it down parts of that river a couple times.....very fun.
Thanks Grady! Yep, it's a pretty good river!
Just recently discovered your channel, And I got to say I love it bro. Your energy alone is inspiring, not to mention your positivity. I am playing catch up and checking out a lot of your past vids. I am definitely taking notes on some of these places you have went and putting them on my list of places to go. Oh yeah, Simple man sounded great on that guitar. I haven't seen one like that before. Great video
Glad you found the channel my man! I just try to have a good time all the time lol Glad you enjoyed Simple Man! I hope you get to enjoy many adventures Out There! Thanks for watching!
Great Video. Love it when you ask the camera a question like we can answer you.
Glad you enjoyed it Ben! I kind of talk to the camera like it's my buddy along with me. I'm sure people probably think I'm wierd when they see me doing it lol
We go to the Okefenokee every year and keep talking about doing the Suwanee. Your video gives a lot of great info. Thanks!
Oh cool! Id like to hit the Oke one of these days.... You are welcome! Hope you hit the Suwanee!
Thanks Trip, very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
We got swingin doors a jukebox and a barstool 👍😎🎶
My new home has a flashing neon signnnnnn!!!!!
Awesome vid!
Thanks!
11:39 trip excited and happy, 2 seconds later very serious😳 about the mosquito 🦟 situation. 😂
Haha, me and skeeters get serious at times.
I love it when we can entertain ourselves
Meee to!
? @ 13 min i am wondering if the shack has Mosquito netting also . i can only see the hardware cloth.??
Your reactions to stuff crack me up lol I am for sure going to book this trip next year
Haha, just being me ;) Hope you enjoy your trip!
Lots of Gators & snakes in the Suwannee. We live on the river.
Yes there sure is!
Cool travel guitar...glad you added the picking and singing to the vids.
It is a sweet little guitar... Yea, I enjoy including it in videos. More to come ;)
I need this mans playlist!
Yea buddy! Jammin ;)
great video Im going to buy some kayaks and take the whole family next spring.
Awesome Daniel! Yall have fun!
Your just a good old boy never meaning no harm, that likes adventure and your accent is pretty cool too !
Haha! Now that is going to be a good one to play on guitar next time I bring it along!
I've been to the Suwannee river music camp. A friend of mine and his crew helped build the tree house.. I've been up in it.. and have pictures from inside of it. I think the music camp is really nice all the way around. I plan on staying there when I head down to Florida. Enjoying your video!!! Keeps me wanting to join you!!!
Oh nice! I'd love to check out the inside, pretty cool spot. Glad you enjoy them and maybe you can join me one day!
Just found out yesterday, my friend told me that the Music camp has all new personnel and the camp manager that I knew is no longer there. Oh well it's still a nice campground. I will definitely be letting you know when I come down there, I'm thinking about bringing my daughter for a few days of kayaking.
Oh and if you'd like to see what it looks like inside I can round up the pic's I took when I was up in it?
Love it!
Thanks Henrik!!!!!
Trip super flip Trip dip 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼❤️
Great video Trip! I am definately going to do that one day maybe .3 if it's there.
+Jerry Ehrlich Excellent Jerry! Hope you make it happen soon!
Love the Suwannee
Incredible river!
Love the carnation breakfast drinks... I mix the powder with raw oatmeal.... then just add water and PRESTO!!!!! Works really well for overnight oats too. I just add almond milk the night before....
Oh boy..... that sounds good! Chocolate oatmeal!
mix up as many days as I need breakfasts, put them in ziplocks.... gooder than a mug!!!!
I've been to Suwannee springs. My uncle has a old cabin there. Wish I was there when you were there trip lol.
+Joseph loves Shelton Its a great area! Would have been cool to have ran into ya
Anytime your on these river trips take a pole with you. Your passing up so much awesome bass fishing
I know.... I need to learn where to try to fish, there seems to be so much water I have no idea where to fish....
@@TripSmith The whole way down. Fish sit around anywhere water is pouring into the river, behind every stump, log, anywhere they can get out of the current, plastic worms, spinnerbaits, topwater, just expect to get your feelings hurt from time to time, because those rivers have huge bass
Awesome. When we did the Suwannee it was much lower and they didn't have those camps with the screen rooms...well not that we saw anyway. I'm with you on the port-a-potties, can't stand them, rather go in the woods!
Yep, I'd rather the woods to honestly..... You should try it again and take advantage of those camps, they are to nice to pass up....
One of my favorite runs..do it 4 times a year
It';s a good one!
cool place
Certainly, those camps are awesome!
Arrowheads are a good find on that corner sir...of course you have to leave them there for others to admire...haha
OH cool!
haha your a crazy guy and i don't even have a kayak but i love your videos...
Yea, maybe just a touch crazy lol Glad you enjoy them, thanks for watching!
With your onstage moves, I think you'd fit right in at the "hippy" festival lol
I rpobably would.... it would be fun!
Yakked part of the Wanee.....but this place is nice. Cool video...
It's pretty well setup for kayakers that for sure!
Awesome man! Really enjoyed this one, looking forward to part 2. Wow that water looked like Pepsi or something, was it smelly? Thanks for sharing your video and thumbs up from Sweden!
Part 2 will be just as good ;-) It wasn't smelly, only at the one spring where I went through the tunnel was it a bit smelly. Thanks for watching!!!!
Trip you should take a water filter with you so you don’t have to carry water around everywhere. I bring my filter on trips and just drink out of the river, never had a problem yet!
I usually do bring a filter just in case.... Sometimes I just bring a buncha water.
My idea of a fun weekend outing is sitting by a campfire, cooking a hotdog with a can of chili. Brother, you put me to shame!! Keep it up, really enjoy watching your vids.
Haha! That's ok mrdave! As long as you Get Out There!!!! THanks for watching!
26:44 close call 😂😂
It was! The camera was getting pretty close but I was paying attention luckily....
Me and my girlfriend live about ten miles from the music park , the tree house has a video about how it’s was built only a tour is available nowadays .
Oh cool! Only a tour? I guess people weren't taking care of it....?
Love the video...just found ur channel...I live kayaking but never thought of using a board great idea...one question...I love swimming also by what about gators and water moc??
+Hiking with Yowie awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! The board is pretty awesome for adventuring, I love it. As long as you aren't swimming in really nasty and swampy like areas you should be alright. Gators tend to swim away as fast as they can when they see people. Snakes, just keep you eyes open....
Trip great job man your channel has come so far!!! Long time sub here.
Where do you get your free use music brother?
Thanks Fuzzy, I appreciate that man. Um, some of it is on my editing software (Corel Video Studio), some is from the free music that CZcams provides, then some is non copyright music off of CZcams videos where music artists upload them without copyright.
You inspired me to get a hammock
Awesome Dallas! Enjoy your nights of sleep in her.
Florida native but have never paddled the Suwannee. Doing three days next month. Any suggestions?
How do you know how far you have gone?
How did you keep your phone charged and listen to music?
Hey Mallory! Seen a video or two of yours ;) Suggestions? Ah just get out there. Distance? Check out the Suwannee River Paddling Guide. It has mileages on it and it makes it easy. I use battery banks to charge my phone and cameras and my speaker is a pretty large one so it lasts a whole trip usually for me. Here is a little list of some of my favorite items - kit.com/tripsmith/lighting-and-electronics
Im thinking of getting the kaku kahuna do you still recommend it or would you suggest something else under 1200???
Eric, I'd highly suggest a Blackfin XL or V over the Kahuna. Sold mine.... It was to heavy and slow vs a inflatable SUP. Check out my video here - czcams.com/video/IhNBGxzMoVM/video.html They are a good bit cheaper too!
Will be camp host there
I'm still laughing about that porta potty. Lol
Haha! I remember that.... going back to re-watch it now. Glad you enjoyed it ;)
I love the mini guitar/mandolin. Lets hear wayfaring stranger next time!
Thanks Charles! It's a mini guitar. I like that song, but it may be a little to depressing for my upbeat videos lol But thanks for the request!
Never request a song from Trip, he's just crazy enough to Rickroll all of us!
Is that a Martin Daypacker guitar you are carrying with you on kayak trips? If so how dot you keep it dry?
It's similar, but it's actually a Washburn Rover - amzn.to/3gBhpwS I keep it dry with a primitive dry bag I made from duct tape.... It "works" but not very well. lol
i'v seen allot of your videos . this one is defiantly my favorite ,A wide arrange of activity !!! ( like how would i have fun there if i went/did because of your video .) ps: all of the trip is a favorite . !! i watch because i love your great attitude !!! camera needs better clarity ! keep on i'll keep watching never the less!! god bless brother and great job !!!!
I defiantly love his videos allot
Thanks CHarles! I like the diverse fun as well. Got a new camera that should be better for future adventures ;)
Canoe kitty 🐈😂
Yep lol Sweet thang....
“Was that a mosquito? Yea that WAS a mosquito”
😂😂😂😂
hehe! Fun stuff!
That's what I have wanted to do for ever.
Do it!! Make it happen!
I’ve been watching several of your videos and wondered where you get your food? I looked in your description and couldn’t find that? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! My food? Which food? I eat a wide variety. My favorite is the packit gourmet though www.packitgourmet.com/
Trip Smith the packit gourmet is what I was talking about! Thank you. I really appreciate you replying. I just moved to Florida from Ohio and am going to be trying to get out and camp more and watching some of your videos are really helpful.
So trip what kind of MRE's do you get? And great video..
Thanks! Ummm, if you mean what brand and all, I'm not really sure. What I have is some that someone kindly sent to me. I know there are different quality ones and I'm pretty sure these are the military kind.
Gotcha, I actually asked the question before you showed the one your mom gave you! lol
r u gonna camp in winter when theres less bug and snake life,im takin a winter river /intercoastal waterway trip from hiltonhead sc to myrtle beachsc ,im gonna try to work the tide and camp along the way,its gonna be a family chrismas trip 3 daugyhters and2 sons wife and i,i talked them into it with ur vids,thanks trip
Yep, I camp year round ;-) Oh nice! Sounds like a heck of trip with the family. Hope everyone enjoys themselves!
my fav part was when u were showin us the camp,this feally looks like a good idea this friend has,how much to reserve a spot ,and how long is the waitin list
+Don shrimper Cool! Thanks for letting me know. No waiting list lol I've got a video coming today of the camp tour with some more info. You should enjoy it.
What meal packs do you use?
I prefer PackitGourmet. LOVE their stuff.....
cedar water we call that up here i avoid it its always cold and i never catch fish in cedar water
How long did it take you got get to the first camp?
I really don't recall.... It's been a while since then.... A good part of the day though.
That was the same cabin we stayed in, when we did our trip in June. Hanging a hammock inside was awesome. Did you have to pay to camp at the Sound of the Suwannee river park?
How cool Tom! Yes, they are great spots for hammocks.... I believe there was a fee but I don't recall how much it was.... You can call and find out though.
Tom P. the fee to stay at the Spirit of the Suwannee at the Canoe Outpost campsite was $22.50.
Trip the pulled pork and chocolate peanut butter, are they MRE or where can we find them?
Ummmm, give Amazon a shot. Or Google it, there are lots out there selling them. Someone sent me mine so I'm not sure exactly.....
Where’d ya get that sweet little guitar? I e been wanting to get a little one for my canoe trips.
Amazon. I don't see my exact one, but this one is pretty close - amzn.to/3cxqZyS
@@TripSmith thanks kindly
Where do you get those mre's Trip? I had a case of mre's like that from my brother in the AF and they were excellent but now I can only find them at surplus stores and they are stupid expensive.
Someone actually sent me those.... They are expensive, no doubt. I'm not sure where to find the deals at.
No problem. Getting pretty good at that guitar. I'm gonna say I knew you when your first album comes out,
Ha! Well, I've played for a while actually but. During my highschool and college years I was playing pretty regular and that's when I learned what I know now. Haven't gotten much better since lol
Oh hell, I thought you said you had started recently. At any rate you sound like a pro to me
And Trip....I will invite you to camp with me at the Roots Revival.....probably around 5000 people.....you would love it! The bands are nothing to laugh at!
Ha! Thanks! I actually looked up Dread Clampit and they are pretty good! Thanks for the invite Richard!
What app do you use to make videos
I use Davinici Resolve. Free and works well
i also enjoyed the kickin chickin spot
+Don shrimper Thank chicken was certainly kickin!
do you have to pay at any of the parks you camped at?
Not at the river camps. I think there was a small fee for the music park...
Tannin produced by Cypress trees give the South Ga. North Fla. Rivers their coke color.
Yep... no so great for swimming (mentally) lol
Trip, the link to video 2 doesn't work for me. :(
+TheLawtonian Uh oh, I'll fix that. Thanks for the heads uo!
“I’m washing me and my clothes” vine “I’m washing me and also my clothes”trip Smith
Lol Never watched vine....
Just found your channel, you have any videos of MREs and food prep?
NewwtGT I dont.... what would like to see? I might just do ya something special ;)
Trip Smith Not sure. I'm getting back into camping haven't been since I was younger, but I like how you have sealed meals for each day. Maybe which foods and MREs you prefer and why and how much you alot yourself a day.
Oh cool, well welcome back to the good time Out There! Ok, great video topics! Thanks for the suggestions ;)
MRE chocolate peanut butter is the best!
Oh heck yea, good stuff!
What was the name of the song playing @ 2:04
``God Bless `` Your Super Awesome ,,, ``Mom and Dad / Family and Friends ``are So Amazing !!! We Always find Your Videos very funny and informative. Thank You =) !!! The Suwannee River looks plush !!! Thanks again for another ``Killer``video !!! Y`All are a Very Great and Entertaining and Fun resource for us All !!! Way to get ``Out There`` and Share !!! ***cheers*** =)
+Lloyd McGriff Glad you enjoy and thanks for watching! I appreciate the comment!
That river looks so dark.... Trip, you need to come up to Missouri and I can show what a river is supposed to look like!!! Love the vids!!!!
Brad Hale ... Florida has some of the clearest spring rivers in the world..
The darkness in that one is just tannins from leaves and wood.
It is pretty dark.... I love some paddling in clear water! Glad you enjoy them Brad.
@@TennesseeCheeZe the farther south you get on Suwannee the more springs you have and Crystal clear water! Suwannee has its own species of bass "Suwannee bass" they pull much harder than a large mouth bass but average about 2lbs. I think the record is around 5lbs.
FL is huge and has a wide variety of stream & river types. You definitely don't bad-mouth the Swannee, 3rd largest river in FL, in the top 10 largest rivers that drain into the gulf, not unusual at all apparently for the springs to be flooded out (& saw a bunch of docks that got flooded out too recently), and seasonally gets a bunch of dino fish (aka gulf sturgeon).
If nessie exists in America, she probably visits the Swannee regularly xD
@@Dman9fp 🤣🤣🤣
Whats the green sunglass holder called
Those are Nexstraps by Nexstep Products. Love em!
What is that a guitar, uke, or mandolin?
Its a travel guitar. It doesn't quite have the deep resonating sound of a normal guitar but I'll take it!
you ate breakfast sitting, not while laying in the hammock...not sure how I feel about that Tripp... :)
Ha! You got me there!
orchestrated? Did 12 days in a group of 15 down the Suwanee in 2002. There weren't any cabins back then.
Oh cool!
Oh, invest in a Therma-Cell or two. 'Skeeters will be no problem whrn u have thosr cooking off.
Yea I need to bring one along on my next trip....
Every time you eat peanut butter you make me wanna eat peanut butter
Haha! Try almond butter ;) Especially the flavored ones like vanilla.....
