Time flies when watching these videos - it's crazy. Thanks for making these Trip, best part of the day. Easily. If I can't camp right now... best thing is to watch someone else live their best life #canadaprobs #winter
Ha, that's good to hear I guess. You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment ;)
The man who built those houses should be proud of his work withstanding that hurricane.
Agreed!
Excellent fishing between St. George and Dog Island !!!!
Yea probably so.... lol
Those rocks might have been the ships ballast. Great vid.
May have been.... I was thinking that might be possible.....
My guess is otter tracks. :) You can see the claws really good in the tracks and because of their long body they kind of hop when they are on land. It depends how fast they are moving. Rabbit tracks usually have that long part from their back legs.
Interesting! Could have been....
Another awesome adventure!! So cool to see the old ship 🛳
Thanks man! Yea, it was crazy!
6:23 OMG CRINGED SO HARD! At the sight of you getting on that wrecked boat without shoes. Its the Mama bear in me. Lol Be careful Trip.
For real! I took a 3" piece of old rusty fence wire to the bottom of my foot three years ago (it punctured my sandal)... couldn't walk for two weeks, puncture wound didn't close up for six months, and still have occasional nerve pain to this day. I won't play with stuff like that again.
Lol yea.... Maybe I do things that aren't the smartest at times? Dang Cup and Cone, that's a lot! Cup and Cone? I love icecream!!!!
you are adorable
If he’s from Florida it’s likely his feet are harder than concrete
I can't wait for you channel to take off Trip, you make such quality content. Thoroughly enjoy watching, thanks!
Lol me to Josh.... One day I guess? Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Dude you're videos are awesome! Inspiring me to take more solo trips out on my own. Love your channel.
Thankya thankya! Make it happen!
What an Awesome adventure !!! Thanks Again Trip !!!! ****cheers**** ROCKADOCK !!!!
You're welcome Lloyd! ROCKADOCK!!!!
You finding that fin was hilarious!!! Such an awesome video Trip!!!
Yea that was crazy... Glad you enjoyed it!
Just got a chance to watch this one, good stuff!! Keep em coming!
Will do Dirk! Thanks bud
congratulations, your videos are awesome.
Thank you very much!
Tripp, I came across your channel by mistake. I'm not even mad... I am so entertained by your humour and general outlook on life. Thanks for the laughs. Subscribed.
Haha glad you enjoyed it and hope you enjoy the future! Lots of videos to catch up on ;)
Love Dog Island. I camped there when I was little (35 yrs ago). St. George island is awesome too.
Oh wow, how cool! Yea, St. George is cool as well ;)
those look like otter tracks lmao... I had a real good laugh when you said rabbit xD
Nice video. Just received my board and red bag. Exact the same. A few months and i am going out for n overnighter. Your face when you found that treasure. Lol have fun greetings from the netherlands. Keep them coming especialy with this board. 🤙
Glad you enjoyed it! Oh nice! I know you'll enjoy that sweet board and the overnighter. Yea that was crazy to have lost and found it.... Will do!!! Thanks for watching!
Great video Trip!
Thankya Jerry!
Awesome find with your fin!! Amazing! Also like the Twain quote you added! (Dude from Atlanta)
No kidding Mike! ;)
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you're still watching!
Another great video! Hope to join yall at Rockadock this year.
Thanks Dana! I hope you can, we have a GOOD TIME!
When you slapped that mosquito and a chunk of ice cream sandwich flew up in the air I lost it bro! That was funny right there!
Lol yea that sukked.... I almost lost it a few times lol
Nice video man. I really enjoy your channel. 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!!!!
I had not come across this video, so you did make a trip to Dog island.
I did!!!!! lol Glad you found it ;)
Cool trip. I might have to go check this area out.
Definitely!
i think that other structure that you originally thought used to be a house, was probably the remains of the docks where the ships were parked when the storm hit. as i understand it, there was a full fledged port there, and it was all destroyed by the hurricane in the late 1800's. it also shows you how much that island has moved since then. those docks used to be on the other side of that island.
Oh cool! Thats interesting. Love hearing about stuff like that.... Thanks for sharing the info.
Great video man. Lots of work with those camera views. Be blessed
Thankya! Yea, but the work is worth it in the end... Be blessed!
I've noticed that you've had some trouble with dry bags in your past videos. If you outgrow that deck-bag, I suggest looking into Watershed Drybags. I have a few of their bags and they are worth every penny. Great video my dude!
You know, I have wanted to try some Watersheds.... Maybe I'll bite the bullet and spend the money on one eventually.... Glad you enjoyed it!
Trip my man,I always love the adventures you take us on.Thanks. do the wife and son go camping with you? I have 2 daughters ,who MAY go glamping. They think its weird,when I talk about going alone. As you say,whatever. See you out there.
Glad you enjoy them Rickey! Ummmm, the wife has joined me once before years ago. My sons haven't yet but they will be whenever they are ready. Yep, whatever! Cya Out There!!!!!
Good job Trip, man be careful walking around that kinda stuff , cut up your feet - I used to live 39 min from there👍
Thanks! Yea I had a few close calls lol
Good stuff brother!
Thankya AJ!
Hey trip watching from Australia at midday. At work:()
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching and commenting ;)
Nice video, Trip. My aunt had a house like that in Galveston. So many great memories of fishing. Should of brought the uke or travel guitar.
Thanks Chuck! Yea... I almost did for this trip... But the skeeters would have made that no fun lol
Magnificent, Trip- filming and editing. I think those were racoon tracks.
Thanks katWoman! You may be right!
Nice place 😍
Thankya sir!
I discovered you about a week ago. But guess what. You have a new fan. 😂
Hey thanks Karen! Glad you found the channel and enjoy the adventures 👍🏻
That’s so cool 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
It was a cool adventure!
Man what I wouldn't give to get some of that wood. I would make a coffee, dining, or end table out of it. I did that out of wood from a farm house that was built in the 1700s. It looked amazing.
That would be pretty cool!!!!
Cant believe you did this on an inflatable. Its amazing how great they are making them. Blackfin just released the model V touring board for 2019, I wonder how it compares to your red paddle co board? Blackfin also has upgraded their pump again for 2019 seems like a great company, I'd love a red paddle co board too though, everyone is always telling me how great they are, hopefully the blackfin I bought is almost as good! Thanks again for the content.
Yep, it is amazing.... Well, the Red is going to be stiffer because of the high PSI and it has a stiffening batten in it. It's also a bit narrower and longer than the XL and a bit lighter. So in the end it's going to be faster..... I haven't paddled a Blackfin '19 but I'd like to try their Blackfin V out! You're welcome!
@@TripSmith Yeah the V looks great, also the 2019 upped the pressure to 18 psi, I'm not sure if the 18 went to 18 psi, still nowhere near the reds 25 however. I'll have to save up for a second board, hopefully a Red, thanks for the reply!
I am rigging my kayak to attach a mountain bike over the tail hatch I've done it before and over the Columbia River. In case I couldn't go upstream. The panniers stow in. The bow. I could lock the kayak ad bike anywhere.
Interesting.....
Very interesting.
I thought so too! Thanks for watching!
Always hunt! Keep laughing @Trip you make my day. #word.
Lol glad you enjoyed it Eric!
I'm glad you respect their properties. Many idiots would vandalize.
Ah, no need to vandalize, I wouldn't want that done to mine....
Little pumps are for seawater ... for the toilets. Probably have storage tanks for fresh water or RO systems which takes a lot of power ... Generator?
Ah interesting. They have power lines out there.... Probably run underwater from mainland? I was told by someone that they do have fresh water wells out there but it's not used for drinking as it's to sulfury....
How did your inf inflatable light work it didn't call a the bugs in Jackson county like mine did on the chipola river
I never even turned it on lol
That would be the perfect place to take my metal detector. After watching a few of your vids I might try to get a kayak. Would be great now that I'm retired. I just have to figure out how to take my GSD. I don't go anyplace w/o Bella. :} Stay safe.
No telling what you might find Out There! Hope you figure it out!
Where did you launch from for this video? Also, if the house was not clearly vacant were there ample trees to hang a hammock from?
It was a public beach access I guess.... If you look at the map that's on the video you can kinda see it then spot it on Google Maps. Yes, there were plenty of trees on the western side of the island where I fist came around. You can see these on the map as well ;)
Hey man, bit of an odd question. But I'm looking at getting a SUP and see a lot of people who are really into ipaddleboarding get the Red boards like you have and the Blackfin XLs or something. I was gonna get a Hurley Apextour and I think that's my preference but I'm wondering if the Hurley is almost like a fashion SUP and the Red and Blackfins are the real serious sups for only a few hundred more. Do you have any experience with Hurley boards?
Great trip. Great video. But where was your personal flotation device? Huh?
It was that belt thing around my waist ;) Link is in the description if you'd like to check it out.
What happen to the kaku kahuna? Still have it or upgrade to the paddle board? I have kahuna but the weight of it... Sellin mine to get inflatable sup
I still have it but I'm going to be selling it soon for the same reason you are stating. The weight vs an inflatable just isn't worth it... Love my inflatables!
Caught my self twice trying to swat mosquitoes (indoors in the middle of winter) so glade no one saw that
Haha! They were bad.....
Out There paddling around in shorts while I'm sitting here freezing to death in Oregon. I'm kind of envious.
Haha! I couldnt handle that cold....
Cool vid bro, must be standing freshwater around from the cane somewhere for the skeets to be that bad, or your just tasty,lol.
I donno.... I have been places where I knew there was no fresh water and there were skeeters....
I miss the adventures
Me too! But that's pretty much all I'm uploading these days ;)
(Per the comment in the chat) Trip, I'll do a collab with on you on the Santa Fe River! Just looked at some pictures, amazing. Shoot, I'll even just be your camera/editor guy!
Haha! We might could make something work.... Talent like yours is something I'm lacking....
Count me in if you guys go! :) Just got back from the Santa Fe yesterday - was awesome!
We'll make it work sometime this spring/summer
Your spring fed river video is awesome!
Mike B hey thanks for watching it Mike! I’m a sucker for clear water rivers and streams
Love the hat on this one. Is it a Tilley?
Imperial Headwear, Watership Series
If you didn’t hang your hammock under that house, where would you have camped? If I recall there weren’t many trees on that end of the island.
There where trees on the island when I first came around it from the bay. Plenty for hammocks, just not quite as close to the water.
Nice video Smith, can you review the red voyager ?
Glad you enjoyed it! Hmmmmm, funny I haven't done that yet lol I should!
@@TripSmith For sure a lot of people will interested in the review. Here in Norway must of the instructors use that board as private board. And you are a nice and kind dude with a lot of experience. Another video could be how to get up from the water or how to carry our kids in the board and safety. hugs from Sandvika , norway.
Cool.
Thankya!
Where did you put in at to paddle to dog island?
Gulf Beach Park in Carrabelle
What size OUTXE bag do you use? :)
I use the 20L. I find that I enjoy storing general gear better in a 20L then my clothes and sleeping insulation in 10L bags.
How’s the speed on the paddle board on longer trips like that vs the touring kayaks you used to have or even the hobie mirage drive kayaks? I’m seriously considering doing an overnighter sometime soon while it’s still cool but I’m unsure about doing a 5 mile paddle to get there. Any advice?
Five miles a day is not that far *if* you are in the right conditions. It really depends on wind, tides, swell, etc...they can literally double or halve your speed.
Cup & Cone I can agree with that. I’ve been out on boats several times on the coast and inshore and if it’s rough, it makes for an extremely long and exhausting day.
I find the speeds on the Red Paddle Co Voyager are pretty good. I haven't clocked it in calm water and wind yet but I'm thinking I've got about a 3mp or a touch more cruising speed. That's probably not quite as quick as the touring yak but I'm thinking it's quicker than most hobies. But all SUP's and yaks aren't created equally. A Hobie Pro Angler doesn't get near the speed a Hobie Revolution gets... The Voyager gets much better speed than my Leader Accessories board and my Blackfin.... Plus there are inflatable SUP's that are faster than mine....
A 5 mile paddle is pretty easy for a typical day though. I did this 5 mile paddle is just over 2 hours I think it was. And I had wind and waves against me forcing me to paddle on one side the entire trip so that slowed me down.
I like the paddleboard for just how easy it is overall. It weighs only 25lbs!!!! So easy to load and unload and drag up on the beach.... Easy to get on and off of.... Easy to toss your gear on.... Easy to move around on.... Over the course of a trip or a day these difference mean a lot to me.
Trip Smith thanks for the insight Trip! I used to be pretty anti-inflatable paddle board but seeing your adventures on them has made me look into them now. Seems like a great combination of light weight, durability, and ease of use.
Cool adventure, but I'll take a hard pass on the mosquitoes. We have them that size here from about middle Spring until about the end of fall. They are like vultures here and will pick your bones clean if you stay out in them!
Its amazing that those boats lasted hidden like that for 120 years. But when I look at the footage I see remnants of some good old solid workmanship in them. I can't but wonder how they wrecked?!
Glad you enjoyed it Larry! They are tough for sure lol Yea I was surprised they lasted as well. They were anchored offshore I believe when a hurricane came through....
Can you drag an inflatable on sand or gravel ? Are they pretty tough?
Sand, yes. Gravel.... I would suggest it. Yes they are very tough in my opinion!
Nice places, how do you find those places. do you have any guides
Thanks! This place I found by the article I showed a shot of near the beginning of the video. I do not have guides....
Thank you very good video
You seem to be using the inflatable most of the time ... do you prefer that over the hard SUP? Couldn't really see the tracks well but looks like Raccoon.
Concur with raccoon. St. George has them and they're everywhere...like nuisance bad. Lots of trash to rummage.
Yes, I very much prefer the inflatable.... Much lighter, easier to load/unload, faster to paddle, easier to paddle, just bumps off things. Those points play out over and over and over again on one day of paddling and make it very nice to paddle the ISUP (inflatableSUP)
What was the water viz that day?
Pretty poor. The appalachicola river flows into the gulf nearby and it has been flooded for a while so there was a lot of sediment. Usually it's much clearer, at least on the gulf side.
I guess that pink house is gone now, can’t find it on google earth any more.
I am curious why you aren’t using a Thermacell?
I donno... I have two and them too lol
I'll preface this by saying, I have no clue what I'm taking about. Could those tracks be otter or some other aquatic quadruped? You showed a lot of clam shells and it seems like it would have to be an animal that can travel by water to get out there. Just a thought. Don't know if they even do salt water. Anyway, cool trip, Trip!
They sure could be.... I don't really know. Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
Trip did you ever do any investigative work to find out how old that ship is?
Yea.... I think like 150 years ago it sunk.... Something like that.
There was someone last night on the live chat who asked if I had any video of the Suwannee trip my wife and I did. I can't remember the name though and can't see the chat to look it up, but I want to try to put the videos on UA-cam tonight for him that we did get.
Ah, well not sure how to get that info... I think the chat is gone gone....
@@TripSmith yea, oh well, it's all good. They aren't the greatest and I'm sure he has seen better from you. Haha
What's the scar on your neck from? Just curious?
I had a cyst when I was 2 ;)
What chair do you use that looks like a blue canister of aluminum
That would be the Treo Chair - amzn.to/2t5kE6Y
I also have the big brother, the Quadra - amzn.to/2TwicSk
Pretty awesome chairs ;)
how many splinters you get?
I didn't get any lol Just felt that one nail head....
Wow
For sure!
Ranger for Rock-a-dock? Is there a FL Caverns left? It's called Florida Plains State Park now! 😑
Yea, I was in the middle of sourcing out a new location for RockaDock so I have been talking to various park managers. Found a spot though! More info here - facebook.com/groups/982904621876435/
I miss the around the house videos. 🥺
Yea... I'm still making them but they are going to Patreon only... Sorry about that but it was done mainly for the benefit of the channel as a whole. I can see some positive efffects from it so far so I will probably keep doing it that way until things change.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a firefighter Matthew ;)
Have you done a trip down Perdido River yet.
Not yet, but it's on my list ;)
Not yet, but it's on my list ;)
@@TripSmith I may give it a go this spring. I've mapped out a couple of options using your ideas with Google Earth and Google Maps. Thanks for the tip! I live in Gulf Shores so when/if you get ready to do the trip and need a shuttle to a launch site or landing. Let me know and if I'm in town I don't mind helping you out.
i wonder if a small smoker fire in a coffee can would beat the bugs baby,woaaa ,thats a new shirt slogan ,beat the bugs baby
\
Maybe! lol
Racoons. I island camp in FL all the time. They swim out there believe it or not. I’ve seen it.
Ah, gotcha. That's crazy!
Hey Trip. Have you heard of Fish Eating Creek on West side of Okeechobee?? Freaking awesome 16 mile kayak trip. Get shuttle from fish eating creek campsite. Can shuttle up 8 miles or 16 miles halfway to primitive camping. Tons of wildlife! A MUST if you live in Florida. I live in Stuart Fl. Look up Fish Eating Creek.
I have heard of it yes, never been there... I need to add that one to my long list of spots to paddle lol
Do you generally wear a life jacket when you are out in the middle of the bay paddling? or is it not deep enough to be concerned about?
I try to! I was wearing one the whole time ;) It was around my waist - Onyx Belt PFD - amzn.to/2MakJPa Sometimes though I don't wear them....
looks like racoon tracks
Might have been....
They might hire you to be care taker of property
Lol That would be a nice job!
Don't see the big back feet of a rabbit. Maybe it's some kind of weasel?
Yea I was thinking the back "heel" or whatever wasnt there after a while.... Who knows?
Not me. I'm not even sure if we have weasels here.
Miskito's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ruthless around there....
Sea lions
Didn't see any of those....
I stayed through Michael.....all i can say is "You are a fool if you stay for a Cat 5 hurricane."
I would never recommend it!!!
Lol yea... But would be a rush.... Staying in a "safe" location of course. Concrete reinforced stuctures.
@@TripSmith Go to Mexico Beach and say that.....or Blountstown...or Marianna. There are buildings you can see all the way through buildings....roofs off...nothing left.
Enjoyed the video. Did want to share that the Twain quote may be misattributed (See marktwainstudies.com/the-apocryphal-twain-the-things-you-didnt-do/) Grew up near here (actually in Bay Co.) and have wanted to go find the shipwrecks at Dog Island.
Thanks! Oh wow lol interesting.... Make it happen, check em out!
i dont think ur on drugs ,i think u should be ,ur jus nuts dude ,but we luv ya trip ,camp on baby
haha Thanks Don!
You know. Please post more handy man stuff. You know.
Ah, I don't do that type of content any longer.... adventure stuff is much more fun ;)
Don't forget to replace your bum bug spray. Also, I'd advise against chasing hurricanes for views
Haha Thanks! Well, it wouldn't be so much for views as it would be for the fun.... Or the experience....
Be vewy vewy quiet, I’m hunting wabbit
Lol Fun stuff
Raccoon tracks
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Whale turd? 🤣
I donno.... First thing that popped in my head lol
Hey trip! shoot me a message man. i have a idea for an adventure! and if you like it i wouldn't want to ruin a possible video.
Hey Thomas! Ummmm, not sure where to find ya exactly, youtube mesenger is gone I think. Hit me up on the Trip Smith Page on Facebook.
Are you still on the fire department
Yep, still there Tyler!
Awesome, I’m currently in training, I graduate May 3rd, at Warner Robins (GA) fire department. Me and a couple of friends watch your videos and have been backpack camping a lot, looking forward to this new schedule and training to use out there, gonna buy a paddle board soon!!
be very quiet, I'm hunting wabbits.
Yes sir! lol
