I'm really enjoying your videos mate. I'm from Australia and I have just bought a new kayak. I'm really keen to get into kayak camping and you've made me so much more exited to go:)))
+Layton DeSerio Thanks Layton! That's what I want to do, encourage and inspire more people to get out there and do some kayak camping. It's great stuff and doesn't have to be an expensive hobby to enjoy. Thanks for watching and commenting my man!
+mattmoo6906 Hey matt! Glad you enjoy them! Hope you continue to watch. I'm working on moving some things in my life around to allow for more time devoted to S&S, so the future is going to be looking brighter. Thanks for commenting!
Im sitting a home on a Wednesday recovering from a surgery watching your videos. Im doped up on pain pills and you comments keep making me laugh and it hurts so bad to laugh! Cant wait to get back to normal and start my own kayak adventure with my kids. Thank you so much for the great videos! God Bless, Matt
So it takes being hopped up on pain meds for my videos to be fun??? Lol just kidding! Glad to hear you've found something to pass the recovery time with. I hope for a speedy recovery! Matt, I hope you get to enjoy some paddling time with your kids, I can't wait till mine is able to join me... You're welcome for the vids, thanks for watching and for taking your kids out! God Bless!
I became a sub many moons ago with your woodworking videos. I finally broke down and watched one of your Kayak vids...and I have to say, I REALLY enjoy watching them. It's one of those things that you wouldn't think would be entertaining unless YOU (me) were the one doing the adventure. I was wrong. I have watched every one, and could not WAIT for another release. When I hit my Subs button and saw you had posted a video, I was like YES! Thanks for the vlogs!
+Mark Price Thanks for the long time dedication and not giving up on my during my lull times Mark! I'm so glad you enjoy them as I was a little hesitant (and still am) about changing the direction of my channel from mostly woodworking to more adventure type videos. Knowing your reaction really makes my day man, truly. Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate everything. Hope to have some more adventures for you soon. I plan on doing about a trip a month....
+Mark Price +sailingandsuch that's why i subscribed also. but these are enjoyable and makes me want to try it. will you still be doing some woodworking videos?
Yes, I will Scott. Don't have any hard plans on woodworking projects at the moment other than a CNC machine project soon. I am however moving and building a new house and shop so I imagine so things will come up. I'm a bit of a energy efficient home nut so I may do some things on that as well. What do you think? Would people be interested in learning how to "really" make the home more efficient?
Another great thing to try that me and my bud do when we go kayak camping is we bring dehydrated food. U cook a delicious meal at home, dehydrate it, bring water, bring it to a boil, put in the ziplock bag with the dehydrated food. And u got an Instameal that don't taste bad either. It would be awesome if you tried this at one of your camping/kayaking trips and gave it a review as to how efficient it is. Thanks for taking the time to read this if you do. As always, I enjoyed the video.
Glad you enjoyed the video Josh. I've done some dehydrating of the meals and such and it works well. It is a fair amount of work to prepare the meal, dehydrate it, package it, boil water then wait for the re-hydrating process. The main reason I was dehydrating was for backpacking trips and some sailing trips to keep the weight and bulk down. Now I find that in my kayak I have room for non-dehydrated foods. The weight doesn't matter because I'm carrying all the water with my anyways. Plus it's much easier to prepare... I do occasionally take some dehydrated snacks though... (You're welcome, I read them all Josh ;)
Had my kayak for 2 years now and been following you since. Now living in Iowa we don't have amazing places like this and we get 4-5 months of kayaking so I'm 100% jealous! Keep up the vids! Love em
+Eric Reeves Oh wow! Thanks for sticking with me that long! Hate to hear that about the lack of places to kayak. Maybe you will be able to sneak in a road trip or two to some good locations when your good months come around. Thanks for watching Eric, I'll keep them coming!
Awesome.. Makes me want some seafood. Cold and rainy here so I spent the day getting my gear organized. As soon as the weather breaks it's on like bing bong Jack.. Booyaa!
i went from watching all kayak camping vids 2 only urs. all the others just hav their cams rolling n thats it. urs r entertaining and educational. keep up the good work trip. if u eva went on a trip down under id join u in a heartbeat :)
Lol that's awesome Mark! Glad you enjoy the videos. I try really hard to make the videos I enjoy watching. Part of the reason I started making videos in the first place was because there weren't many out there that I enjoyed watching on the subject. So there was need to be filled ;) Paddling Down Under is a bucket list item! Hopefully I'll get to check it off one day!
I'm sure you know this by now, but just in case. You can get a "Kayak Light" off Amazon or even ebay. Just google it. Here in SC it is state law for all kayaks to have one. the reason being is exactly what happen to you. You always end up out a little later than you think and it gets dark to here other boats can't see you. Most of the lights suction tot he kayak. Great to keep you safe from getting hit and also helpful to signal incase you ever need help. Great video once again. Those crabs and trout look yummy.
+Joe McCranie Great suggestion! I haven't looked into them yet actually but I will certainly do that. Yea, things rarely go as planned. They were delicious!
Just came across this video and man, you had one hell of an adventure. great reviews too on some cool gear! checkin out your other vids now too. keep em coming, they're awesome!
Nice video, Trip! This must of been before you got your Superman Abs. Lol. Your buddy has an awesome oaring technique. That was the year I retired from the Air Force. This video is inspiring to get out there. That jet that flew by - that's the sound of FREEDOM. Look's like you guys had fun. Hopefully no storm came your way 🤠👏🤘🤩
@@TripSmith I will get out there eventually. Going to a funeral next week in Oklahoma. My cousin's daughter was killed by her exhusband or boyfriend. Very tragic & sad news - sorry to share. I had to go to support my cousin. I'm really sick of all the bad news in my family with beautiful people contracting cancer and negatively affecting so many! Boy, I sure was eyeballing some paddle boards at Costco the other day. Wife isn't interested. I'm good tho. I have a couple sweet looking kayaks. Going to NOLA in a couple weeks to visit my daughter. I might go kayaking. Cheers. Happy adventures & be safe. Keep the videos coming.
Whats up Trip...love the "Beach" Kayak Camping videos, that looks like a blast. Have you dabbled in or done any research on the ENO gear items (hammocks, rain tarps, etc....
+trey gray Whats up Trey!!!! Me to man! The beach is my preferred destination for sure. I actually have a ENO Doublenest hammock. It was the first one I slept in and is a good hammock. I sometimes enjoy making my own gear and actually sewed my tarp and hammock myself...... If you have any sewing skills and a little time you can save quite a bit of money making your own..... My funds aren't unlimited so it was the best option for me and I learned something new. I'm sure the ENO stuff is fine, but there are other hammock systems out there that are probably better. Check out Hennessey Hammocks, good stuff.
Love all the videos Trip but the saltwater ones are my favorites. Keep'em up. Maybe you could try paddling from Navarre Beach to Pensacola in the sound.
Thanks Larry! I think I like the salt water ones too, or the springs.... Maybe so... That's a long paddle though, would rather motor that honestly and spend the time saved filming something cool!
Hey Trip! In your videos you've been using google maps to show your routes. I found an app called Paddle Logger that does pretty well. I used it on a little 3 mile trip today and am pleased with the results.
+Ken Weiner I'll check it out. I'm not to thrilled about leaving my phone on and with the GPS enabled for 3 days though..... Probably would drain my battery pretty good. Thanks for the suggestion though Ken!
So if you haven't already figured out a different way to stow your gear line, I have an idea. Take a pvc pipe, wide enough that your hooks will fit inside, then drill a whole at one end/side so your line will fit through it. Slide the line inside the PVC and then out your drilled whole. Hang onto the PVC like a grip and pull your line, all your gear hooks should slide to the end and stow inside the pipe. Then wrap your line around the outside of the PVC and put it in one of your gear bags.
Very interesting! I haven't thought of anything.... I may give that a try and hope it doesn't get bulky. Thanks so much for the suggestion. If I use it, you get the credit!
I enjoyed this adventure a lot. I was raised in Ft. Walton until age 9 and yanked out of the state due to a divorce. If not for that, I'd still be there. Keep these vids coming my friend.
+Adventure Outdoors Thanks, glad you had the time to watch it with your celebrity UA-cam lifestyle ;). I think Fort Walton is where I'll be headed in 2 weeks! There shall be another video adventure. I'm really happy you're enjoying them. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Trip - this is stealth camping correct - I'll be in PCB this weekend at a kayaking demo day and me and a buddy may replicate your trip. I need to rewatch your video - forget if you had a good place to park
+Bhamlunker In a way. As far as I know, they don't prohibit camping in Shell Island. I got lucky with parking and had a friend's house really close to park at.
Trip You are the Man !!! ***WOOT*** Great Video !!! So Awesome !!! =) Panama City Beach is so Beautifull ,,, water,,, sand,,, fish,,, People,,, Crazy Perfect !!!
+keith elliott Thanks man! Yea, it is a great place. I do enjoy Walmart's prices but I am learning that their quality on some camping items isn't the best lol. My mom said the same thing when she was watching it about Walmart! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love it. I camp, kayak, canoe, blah,blah and enjoyed this vid. So it's OK to camp on any of those non-inhabited islands? It's hard to find places without signs, signs, everywhere there are signs. I'm a tent kind of guy. let those bugs bounce off the walls of my tent.
+Solo Roamin' Thanks Solo! That one is it..... There are some that you can't and I'm having to do some local digging to find out which ones allow it and which ones don't. Tents are great to, I have the Tarptent Contrail but I really appreciate the ability to sleep just as comfortable in my hammock no matter the lay of land I choose to camp on. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Booyah!! love it bro. another great video man. its been a while since I've watched and commented on one of your videos. keep them coming man! Hope all is well!
+tonybuddy123 Oh yea Tony! Booyah! Thanks for still being around Tony! I remember you for sure man. I'll keep them rolling. Trying to get an adventure a month here lately. Hope all is well on your end to my man. Thanks for watching and commenting!
+Noah Jarmon It's the Grilliput Quatro. Very cool grill! Here it is on Amazon.... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDE478Y/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00PDE478Y&linkCode=as2&tag=sailandsuch-20&linkId=J742OZR3B3X3QKCP
Can't say Fox.... I've only used it once on this trip... I typically use mine that I sewed myself. But by the looks and feel of it I would imagine it would hold up just fine. Plus the reviews on Amazon for it are pretty good as well. I'd have faith in it....
SailingandSuch Right on thanks for the reply! Your videos have inspired me to try camping on some of the islands off crystal river keep up the good work!
Liked the videos...just got a Predator 13 Kayak and looking to do some longer trips...it's got plenty of room. I was wondering what you had for the camera being waterproof and having sound. I have a Go Pro, it's waterproof, but not great sound with the case. Also, what video software do you use to edit? Thanks!
+J. Adam Witty Sweet yak! Should treat you right. Yea, you are right about the GoPro and sound not being the best. I use an Olympus TG 850. It's waterproof and doesn't need a housing. It's not the greatest but it is the best that I have found to have both waterproofness and sound.... Not many options on that front unfortunately. Surely someone is coming out with a new "perfect" adventure filming camera. Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm headed out Friday for another filming adventure so be sure to check back say next Friday.
Big fan here brother but I do have a question. What is the name brand of that sun hat? I knew you covered it in one of your videos but it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. I really like it and it's not FLOPPY! Thanks bud!
Thanks Lee! That is a Imperial Headwear hat, love mine because like you said, it's not floppy.... Find them here and use coupon code "sailingandsuch" for I think 15% off ;-) www.imperialsports.com/
i love your videos and want to go kayak camping this spring and summer but will i need to get a specific kind of kayak or can i just use my regular one?
+Cameron Davis It's a Perception, Sealion Shadow. I prefer my Wilderness Systems Sealution II over it for the more comfortable seat. Good kayak though. Don't be tied down to one make or model kayak. If you're looking for your first kayak or first touring kayak I'd say get on Craigslist and find one that is the style you want (sit in touring) and go with whatever you can get a good deal on. Then when you know what you want and like sell it for what you paid for it and get yourself another.
what kind of kayak do you recommend getting I like sit in I have a Aruba 10 Noe but I am 6 ft 2 and it is kinda small for me I am looking for a bigger one but I don't know I use my kayak for camping and mostly fishing . would love your input please and thank you
+patrick rouse Well Patrick, there are certainly yaks out there that will fit your larger frame with no problem. Sit in or On top. I like Sit Inside yaks for my main purpose is camping. If you fish a lot more than you camp then a sit on top could be better for you. I'm partial to the WIlderness Systems kayaks and they have some really cool sit on tops and insides. For a sit inside I'm hoping to get a new Tempest 170 that would fit you pretty good I'm thinking. BUt, you need to decide if you want inside or on top. Here is a short video I did on the subject if you haven't seen it already - ua-cam.com/video/exFz5YsKaBM/v-deo.html
Dude your videos are awesome I just stumbled apon them. I live in the pensacola area and camp and whatnot. would be cool to meet up and have a kayak camping trip or something. keep the videos commin!
Thanks! I actually am in the planning stages of a group trip for any subscriber who wants to come. It will probably be up near my neck of the woods (southeast alabama). Hopefully it will be soon. I'll be mentioning it in the videos when it gets a set date. I;ll keep the camera rolling!
+SailingandSuch that's awesome I'll keep up about that and I live by flora Bama and got the trailer ready to go kind sir. I have a hobie tandem island kayak so it's a bit big but fun.
how's it going? enjoy your vids, makes me want to try it. in the market right now for a fishing kayak. was thinking about the jackson kilroy due to the storage and stability. any info or advice on tents, or do you just use your hammock and tarp?
Going pretty well Joseph. Hope all is well on your end also. Glad you enjoy the video and I'm happy to hear they ake you want to try it, that is the whole point. Don't forget the ATAK and the new Radar kayaks from Wilderness Systems. I'd be hunting craigslist though if it were my first yak ;) Tents.... I've got a Tarptent Contrail that I used before hammocking. I like the hammock much more, for many reasons. Consistent comfort, up off the dirt, cooler when it's hot, great view on clear nights...
Thanks for the advice. Since seeing your vids I've been looking for some spots up here in narragansett bay R.I. We've got some smaller islands that are uninhabited. Most likely camping is not allowed but that makes it all more exciting.
+Bonstergirl We did we did! I guess you could say maybe I got a new one. It's only new to me though as I've bought them off of craigslist for pretty darn good deals. Yea, didn't have a pink tutu ;) ssshhhhhhh lol Thanks for still watching and commenting!
I enjoy watching your videos and they definitely keep me entertained! I feel like I am living through you until I can try kayaking one day. Keep them up your sense of humor kept me laughing, especially when you talking about your camera man falling in the middle of the night then coughing! I just subscribed and will share with some of my friends. Quick question: Do you ever sleep with the net around your whole body and not just your upper half? You said you got bitten by mosquitos the first night, and I wonder if you had slept with the whole net around your body if it would have helped.
Thanks Ebony! We always seem to have a good time Out There. If I could have the camera rolling the whole time there would have been 100x the laughs lol Thanks for subscribing and sharing!!!! I'm sure it would have helped. Most of the time I'm in my thin sleeping bag liner to keep the mosquitos off. Not sure if I used it on this trip though. The "net" I use (and still use today) is just a cheap piece of lace type fabric from walmart so it can be tough to keep it in place over your whole body when in a hammock. Hope the dietetics is going well! Sounds like a pretty cool career path!
just curious looking to do a beach kayak camping trip and this is the closest. looks like its pretty well hidden from the coast so should be fine. Also i use the google earth pro to setup trips which i got the idea from you......man that makes it super nice !!
I just wrote an opinion on that very subject. Why are people cutting a trout up? Cook that thing with the bones and skin. You lose so much from trying to cut the meat off the bone. Besides, by keeping the fish intact, you get NO sand on it.
+Joe doe I bought a couple of paddle leashes but haven't given them a shot yet. I know they are a no no on rivers but hand while in open water. I'll bring it my next trip, thanks for reminding me! Comment appreciated!
Yea, there aren't many places to legally spearfish in my area that are easily accessible by kayak. I need to get with some people who know about it and let them show me the ropes in my area. I'd love to!
if your going to use hammocks u might want to invest in real hammock twine instead of rope. if you look it up on amazon you will find it easy. hold a lot more weight and very stable. i use hammocks for all my camping. also you really should have the hammocks as tight as possible. it makes for a better night.
+julian B Not sure if your talking about the actually suspension but what I'm using is called "amsteel" a really strong, really light weight rope. Google woopie slings and you will see the truly ingenious suspension system someone came up with. Thanks for the suggestion.
+Michael Lucenti Well Michael, I found out just a few days before going that the annual poker run was the same weekend. So I figured it wouldn't be the smartest thing to be down there on kayak with a bunch of fast and crazy race boats screaming around. FWB should be next though! Thanks for asking!
+Michael Lucenti Headed down to FWB in the morning Michael! Since you said you are from the area I have a question for you. I'm planning on putting the yak in near the pass but parking in FWB in Liza Jackson Park. I was wondering if there was some sort of public transportation in the area that I might could get a ride on to the pass? I'm thinking of hitchhiking or maybe a taxi...... lol
Just saw the question probably already here but there is the okaloosa county transport bus system it's really slow, but I do know they have a stop location on norriego point and should be pick up locations near lisa jackson
Hey sailing and such i dont know your real name but so u dont keep stinking your kayak up, make or get u something like a live bait box and hook it to your kayak so it floats in the water and stick your crabs in there, or just fish.lol
ROFLMAO!!!! BOOYAH!!!!!!! I really love your video's brother. At first I thought you were acting then after watching your video's I realized that was your real personality. You have got to be a blast to chill with. Keep up the great work!!!! I will be Yakking in 6 weeks when my custom Jackson Cuda 14 gets here. Your Awesome!!!!
+Fuzzy Brewster Hehe, glad you enjoy it man. Yep, that's me for sure lol No acting there! Hope you enjoy your new sweet ride man, should be a good one, nice yak. I'll keep filming as long as people keep watching, commenting and sharing. Thanks bud!
+SailingandSuch haha ok!Glad to hear it. In the UK its drilled into you to get training, learn to Eskimo roll etc. UK kayaks tend to be thinner (seas are pretty rough too). 'American' style kayaks are wider. Im tending towards American for ease (and to teach myself).
I have since learned that if you see red on the tips of their claws then they are females. I don't believe there is an issue with eating the females unless they are carrying eggs though. Thanks for watching John!
I just found your videos and am enjoying them today. Since I'll be coming to the Gulf coast soon to spend several months RVing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, and crabbing, I looked up the rules re blue crab females. The bottom line is, DON'T EAT THEM! Eat only those randy males. I use the same rules when taking lobsters-- only the males. Here is what the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says. Can female blue crabs be harvested? Female blue crabs may be harvested lawfully if they are not bearing eggs. Although it is lawful to keep non-egg bearing female blue crabs, it is a conservation practice to release them unharmed. There has been evidence that the females support the population of the species. Male crabs are capable of mating several times, but females are only able to mate once, after they mature. If a juvenile female is harvested, there will be no chance that she will be able to reproduce. Additionally, mature females may store sperm in their bodies for several months after mating in order to spawn at a later date. If a mature female is harvested, though she may not exhibit eggs, there is no certainty that she has spawned. Releasing female blue crabs enhances reproductive capacity and population renewal.
+The Wild Native Thanks Hannah! I'd love to experience that side of the world one day. Haven't had the chance yet but if I do it would be awesome to get together. Thanks for watching and the comment!
His misery is your pleasure??? oh crap karma's gonna be a bitch "bitch!!!" I really like the bigger tarp...rain very rarely actually falls straight down. I don't know the details of your kayaks, but the older one your friend is using actually appears sleeker and better designed and would fare better in rougher water. Newer isn't always better.
+tazmun Lol! Yea, bigger is sometimes better. I haven't had an issue with my homemade tarp which is smaller than this one. If it rains bad you just have to lower closer to the hammock to stay dry.... Trade off I guess. I actually have been using the grey one recently and will continue with it until I get another. It has a more comfortable seat to me. All I like about the yellow one better is the hatches are easier to access......
+SailingandSuch If you look underneath a crab you will see a pattern on the underside of their "bellies" the one that looks more circular/oval is a female, while males have a more lighthouse or longer point shape
Why butcher the trout and try to fillet the thing? Such a waste. I cook them bone in unless they are very large. All that meat around the head and bones, just lost.
You're nuts!

It's Always An Adventure with SailingandSuch! lol Glad you enjoy the videos bud.
Nice video, Trip! This must of been before you got your Superman Abs. Lol. Your buddy has an awesome oaring technique. That was the year I retired from the Air Force. This video is inspiring to get out there. That jet that flew by - that's the sound of FREEDOM. Look's like you guys had fun. Hopefully no storm came your way 🤠👏🤘🤩
Thanks CHuck! Yea this was a while back.... Freedom indeed and yes we had a good time for sure! Hope you can Get Out There!
@@TripSmith I will get out there eventually. Going to a funeral next week in Oklahoma. My cousin's daughter was killed by her exhusband or boyfriend. Very tragic & sad news - sorry to share. I had to go to support my cousin. I'm really sick of all the bad news in my family with beautiful people contracting cancer and negatively affecting so many! Boy, I sure was eyeballing some paddle boards at Costco the other day. Wife isn't interested. I'm good tho. I have a couple sweet looking kayaks. Going to NOLA in a couple weeks to visit my daughter. I might go kayaking. Cheers. Happy adventures & be safe. Keep the videos coming.
Whats up Trip...love the "Beach" Kayak Camping videos, that looks like a blast. Have you dabbled in or done any research on the ENO gear items (hammocks, rain tarps, etc....
+trey gray Whats up Trey!!!! Me to man! The beach is my preferred destination for sure. I actually have a ENO Doublenest hammock. It was the first one I slept in and is a good hammock. I sometimes enjoy making my own gear and actually sewed my tarp and hammock myself...... If you have any sewing skills and a little time you can save quite a bit of money making your own..... My funds aren't unlimited so it was the best option for me and I learned something new. I'm sure the ENO stuff is fine, but there are other hammock systems out there that are probably better. Check out Hennessey Hammocks, good stuff.
Love all the videos Trip but the saltwater ones are my favorites. Keep'em up. Maybe you could try paddling from Navarre Beach to Pensacola in the sound.
Thanks Larry! I think I like the salt water ones too, or the springs.... Maybe so... That's a long paddle though, would rather motor that honestly and spend the time saved filming something cool!
Awesome video
+Jonathan Dupree Thanks Jonathan! Appreciate you watching and commenting man.
Hey Trip! In your videos you've been using google maps to show your routes. I found an app called Paddle Logger that does pretty well. I used it on a little 3 mile trip today and am pleased with the results.
+Ken Weiner I'll check it out. I'm not to thrilled about leaving my phone on and with the GPS enabled for 3 days though..... Probably would drain my battery pretty good. Thanks for the suggestion though Ken!
just found this, love it. good job fellow
+Peggy Rohm Thanks Peggy!
it's all fun
Good job with the tips, Bro. - Mike
Thanks Mike! Just finished some more tips. I'm currently camped down in Fort Walton Beach. Fl. New video next week!
Excellent. We do some similar stuff here in California. - Mike
+zzzombiez Hope I get the opportunity one day to go to the west coast and do some adventuring!
Always room for one more wild man, Bro. Once ya go giant kelp, ya never go back. LOL. - Mike
+zzzombiez I hear ya!
nice first catch.
+Bradley Does Mc Much appreciated Bradley!
So if you haven't already figured out a different way to stow your gear line, I have an idea. Take a pvc pipe, wide enough that your hooks will fit inside, then drill a whole at one end/side so your line will fit through it. Slide the line inside the PVC and then out your drilled whole. Hang onto the PVC like a grip and pull your line, all your gear hooks should slide to the end and stow inside the pipe. Then wrap your line around the outside of the PVC and put it in one of your gear bags.
Very interesting! I haven't thought of anything.... I may give that a try and hope it doesn't get bulky. Thanks so much for the suggestion. If I use it, you get the credit!
I enjoyed this adventure a lot. I was raised in Ft. Walton until age 9 and yanked out of the state due to a divorce. If not for that, I'd still be there. Keep these vids coming my friend.
+Adventure Outdoors Thanks, glad you had the time to watch it with your celebrity UA-cam lifestyle ;). I think Fort Walton is where I'll be headed in 2 weeks! There shall be another video adventure. I'm really happy you're enjoying them. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Look's so fun, What brand of kayak is the yellow one?
+Dawgie jack It is a Perception Sealion Eclipse. Thanks for asking and watching!
Trip - this is stealth camping correct - I'll be in PCB this weekend at a kayaking demo day and me and a buddy may replicate your trip. I need to rewatch your video - forget if you had a good place to park
+Bhamlunker In a way. As far as I know, they don't prohibit camping in Shell Island. I got lucky with parking and had a friend's house really close to park at.
Trip You are the Man !!! ***WOOT*** Great Video !!! So Awesome !!! =) Panama City Beach is so Beautifull ,,, water,,, sand,,, fish,,, People,,, Crazy Perfect !!!
+Lloyd McGriff I know it! I love it down there. Was paddling around there last week!
I need a kayak lol
+The Pioneer Channel Yes indeed!!!!!
Great video, makes me wanna go kayak campin in Florida,, Walmart sounds like your favourite place to shop lol
+keith elliott Thanks man! Yea, it is a great place. I do enjoy Walmart's prices but I am learning that their quality on some camping items isn't the best lol. My mom said the same thing when she was watching it about Walmart! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love it. I camp, kayak, canoe, blah,blah and enjoyed this vid. So it's OK to camp on any of those non-inhabited islands? It's hard to find places without signs, signs, everywhere there are signs. I'm a tent kind of guy. let those bugs bounce off the walls of my tent.
+Solo Roamin' Thanks Solo! That one is it..... There are some that you can't and I'm having to do some local digging to find out which ones allow it and which ones don't. Tents are great to, I have the Tarptent Contrail but I really appreciate the ability to sleep just as comfortable in my hammock no matter the lay of land I choose to camp on. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Great adventure and nice video. But I think you were holding the paddle upside down 😜
Glad you enjoyed it. Probably so ;) lol
Booyah!! love it bro. another great video man. its been a while since I've watched and commented on one of your videos. keep them coming man! Hope all is well!
+tonybuddy123 Oh yea Tony! Booyah! Thanks for still being around Tony! I remember you for sure man. I'll keep them rolling. Trying to get an adventure a month here lately. Hope all is well on your end to my man. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ur videos are cool!!
+phanhuang Thanks a lot! Much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and for watching.
I like your videos! Great job:))
Thanks!!! I appreciate the comment!
Mosquitos? That's why I like a tent. Raccoon in camp? That's why you keep your kitchen at least 50 yards away from camp. Good times! Keel side down!
Yea, I think he was in my kayak because I might have been snacking in it the day before while paddling. Good times!!!! Keel down lol gotcha ✌😋
what is the name of the grill rack that u put over the fire
+Noah Jarmon It's the Grilliput Quatro. Very cool grill! Here it is on Amazon.... www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDE478Y/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00PDE478Y&linkCode=as2&tag=sailandsuch-20&linkId=J742OZR3B3X3QKCP
You skipped over it - how hard was it to get back in the yak after the shopping cart dive?
Not to difficult. I think Alex came along side and held it for me.
How does the Kelty Noahs tarp hold up in a rain storm?
Can't say Fox.... I've only used it once on this trip... I typically use mine that I sewed myself. But by the looks and feel of it I would imagine it would hold up just fine. Plus the reviews on Amazon for it are pretty good as well. I'd have faith in it....
SailingandSuch
Right on thanks for the reply! Your videos have inspired me to try camping on some of the islands off crystal river keep up the good work!
You're welcome! Oh cool man, hope you have a blast. Glad to hear you are getting out there! I'll keep the camera rolling bud.
Liked the videos...just got a Predator 13 Kayak and looking to do some longer trips...it's got plenty of room. I was wondering what you had for the camera being waterproof and having sound. I have a Go Pro, it's waterproof, but not great sound with the case. Also, what video software do you use to edit? Thanks!
+J. Adam Witty Sweet yak! Should treat you right. Yea, you are right about the GoPro and sound not being the best. I use an Olympus TG 850. It's waterproof and doesn't need a housing. It's not the greatest but it is the best that I have found to have both waterproofness and sound.... Not many options on that front unfortunately. Surely someone is coming out with a new "perfect" adventure filming camera. Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm headed out Friday for another filming adventure so be sure to check back say next Friday.
Big fan here brother but I do have a question. What is the name brand of that sun hat? I knew you covered it in one of your videos but it's like searching for a needle in a haystack. I really like it and it's not FLOPPY! Thanks bud!
Thanks Lee! That is a Imperial Headwear hat, love mine because like you said, it's not floppy.... Find them here and use coupon code "sailingandsuch" for I think 15% off ;-) www.imperialsports.com/
Awesome...thanks
i love your videos and want to go kayak camping this spring and summer but will i need to get a specific kind of kayak or can i just use my regular one?
Thanks! You can use a regular one :) Anything that gets you out there can work.
take one of the fiddler crab and put it on a hook and cast it . I bet your would catch something. red fish ?
I didn't think of that at the time but great tip! Thanks!
What kind of Kayak is that yellow one?
+Cameron Davis It's a Perception, Sealion Shadow. I prefer my Wilderness Systems Sealution II over it for the more comfortable seat. Good kayak though. Don't be tied down to one make or model kayak. If you're looking for your first kayak or first touring kayak I'd say get on Craigslist and find one that is the style you want (sit in touring) and go with whatever you can get a good deal on. Then when you know what you want and like sell it for what you paid for it and get yourself another.
+Cameron Davis Video coming on buying kayaks soon.
what kind of kayak do you recommend getting I like sit in I have a Aruba 10 Noe but I am 6 ft 2 and it is kinda small for me I am looking for a bigger one but I don't know I use my kayak for camping and mostly fishing . would love your input please and thank you
+patrick rouse Well Patrick, there are certainly yaks out there that will fit your larger frame with no problem. Sit in or On top. I like Sit Inside yaks for my main purpose is camping. If you fish a lot more than you camp then a sit on top could be better for you. I'm partial to the WIlderness Systems kayaks and they have some really cool sit on tops and insides. For a sit inside I'm hoping to get a new Tempest 170 that would fit you pretty good I'm thinking. BUt, you need to decide if you want inside or on top. Here is a short video I did on the subject if you haven't seen it already - ua-cam.com/video/exFz5YsKaBM/v-deo.html
Dude your videos are awesome I just stumbled apon them. I live in the pensacola area and camp and whatnot. would be cool to meet up and have a kayak camping trip or something. keep the videos commin!
Thanks! I actually am in the planning stages of a group trip for any subscriber who wants to come. It will probably be up near my neck of the woods (southeast alabama). Hopefully it will be soon. I'll be mentioning it in the videos when it gets a set date. I;ll keep the camera rolling!
+SailingandSuch that's awesome I'll keep up about that and I live by flora Bama and got the trailer ready to go kind sir. I have a hobie tandem island kayak so it's a bit big but fun.
Good deal. That sounds good, I remember my Hobie TI, very cool yak!
how's it going? enjoy your vids, makes me want to try it. in the market right now for a fishing kayak. was thinking about the jackson kilroy due to the storage and stability. any info or advice on tents, or do you just use your hammock and tarp?
Going pretty well Joseph. Hope all is well on your end also. Glad you enjoy the video and I'm happy to hear they ake you want to try it, that is the whole point. Don't forget the ATAK and the new Radar kayaks from Wilderness Systems. I'd be hunting craigslist though if it were my first yak ;) Tents.... I've got a Tarptent Contrail that I used before hammocking. I like the hammock much more, for many reasons. Consistent comfort, up off the dirt, cooler when it's hot, great view on clear nights...
Thanks for the advice. Since seeing your vids I've been looking for some spots up here in narragansett bay R.I. We've got some smaller islands that are uninhabited. Most likely camping is not allowed but that makes it all more exciting.
You're welcome bud. Exactly ;) Just fly under the radar my man. Hope you get out there soon! Make it happen!
wat was tha name of tha thing u cooked tha fish n crab on. i wanna look into buying 1
That was the Grilliput Quatro Mark, SWEET grill! amzn.to/2LlRCe1
Is this a small insight to where GOT 2017.2 will be.. ?? ;)
+Tallapoosa Angler Hmmmmm, pretty much exactly! Great spot huh?
17.2! ' nuff said. :)
Exactly! Can't wait!!!!
Wal-Mart should be your sponsor! lol
Haha! I've been told that before....
Looks like y'all had a great time! Did you get a new kayak? Love the tutu, but it should have been pink! :-)
+Bonstergirl We did we did! I guess you could say maybe I got a new one. It's only new to me though as I've bought them off of craigslist for pretty darn good deals. Yea, didn't have a pink tutu ;) ssshhhhhhh lol Thanks for still watching and commenting!
I enjoy watching your videos and they definitely keep me entertained! I feel like I am living through you until I can try kayaking one day. Keep them up your sense of humor kept me laughing, especially when you talking about your camera man falling in the middle of the night then coughing! I just subscribed and will share with some of my friends.
Quick question: Do you ever sleep with the net around your whole body and not just your upper half? You said you got bitten by mosquitos the first night, and I wonder if you had slept with the whole net around your body if it would have helped.
Thanks Ebony! We always seem to have a good time Out There. If I could have the camera rolling the whole time there would have been 100x the laughs lol Thanks for subscribing and sharing!!!!
I'm sure it would have helped. Most of the time I'm in my thin sleeping bag liner to keep the mosquitos off. Not sure if I used it on this trip though. The "net" I use (and still use today) is just a cheap piece of lace type fabric from walmart so it can be tough to keep it in place over your whole body when in a hammock.
Hope the dietetics is going well! Sounds like a pretty cool career path!
Trip Smith Thank you!
What camera do you use? Love your videos.
Thanks Mike! I appreciate that. I use the Olympus TG 870, here is my review of practically the same camera - ua-cam.com/video/_9Gkjl8Pn7Q/v-deo.html
Thank you! Keep up the awesome videos!
Trip you're crazy walking around those hot coals in bare feet. I've stepped on one before and it'll mess your Trip up (pun intended).
Haha! Yea I know you are exactly correct. I just love being bare footed...... I learn my lesson one day.....
So yall were on shell island camping ? camping allowed there or is it camp at your own risk ?
I've been told two different things that it was allowed and that it wasn't, both from pretty reputable sources...
just curious looking to do a beach kayak camping trip and this is the closest. looks like its pretty well hidden from the coast so should be fine. Also i use the google earth pro to setup trips which i got the idea from you......man that makes it super nice !!
The Google Earth does make it nice for sure. Hope you have a good trip!
Wow you used to be a little chubster. Paddling has done you some good for sure. Your latest videos, you are ripped lol.
Haha! I wish it was as easy as just paddling. It's all in the kitchen though ;)
I've been trying to find an appropriate video to post this on but oh well, here goes! Hotty Toddy!!!!
+Clinch Leatherwood101 HA!!!!! Yea yea... All fun. Maybe next year I'll have a come-back???? THanks for watching Clinch!
When we cook fish when we camp I try to "chew" with my tongue so I'm not grinding my teeth flat on sand
Ha, that's funny. Reminds me of a time I was cooking some trout and forgot to wash the sand off the fillets.... Fun stuff.
I just wrote an opinion on that very subject. Why are people cutting a trout up? Cook that thing with the bones and skin. You lose so much from trying to cut the meat off the bone. Besides, by keeping the fish intact, you get NO sand on it.
May want to "connect" that paddle to the kayak.
Never know, one day they pay go their separate ways
and you will be paddleless
+Joe doe I bought a couple of paddle leashes but haven't given them a shot yet. I know they are a no no on rivers but hand while in open water. I'll bring it my next trip, thanks for reminding me! Comment appreciated!
dude you should try spear fishing
Yea, there aren't many places to legally spearfish in my area that are easily accessible by kayak. I need to get with some people who know about it and let them show me the ropes in my area. I'd love to!
if your going to use hammocks u might want to invest in real hammock twine instead of rope. if you look it up on amazon you will find it easy. hold a lot more weight and very stable. i use hammocks for all my camping. also you really should have the hammocks as tight as possible. it makes for a better night.
+julian B Not sure if your talking about the actually suspension but what I'm using is called "amsteel" a really strong, really light weight rope. Google woopie slings and you will see the truly ingenious suspension system someone came up with. Thanks for the suggestion.
Booyah! Lol :D
+Ajaton Booyah Baby! lol Thanks for watching me being silly but having fun man. Comment appreciated!
what happened to FWB area
+Michael Lucenti Well Michael, I found out just a few days before going that the annual poker run was the same weekend. So I figured it wouldn't be the smartest thing to be down there on kayak with a bunch of fast and crazy race boats screaming around. FWB should be next though! Thanks for asking!
+SailingandSuch ahh ok look forward to seeing a vid from a visit of my area
Glad to hear it. Hope it is sooner rather than later!
+Michael Lucenti Headed down to FWB in the morning Michael! Since you said you are from the area I have a question for you. I'm planning on putting the yak in near the pass but parking in FWB in Liza Jackson Park. I was wondering if there was some sort of public transportation in the area that I might could get a ride on to the pass? I'm thinking of hitchhiking or maybe a taxi...... lol
Just saw the question probably already here but there is the okaloosa county transport bus system it's really slow, but I do know they have a stop location on norriego point and should be pick up locations near lisa jackson
Hey sailing and such i dont know your real name but so u dont keep stinking your kayak up, make or get u something like a live bait box and hook it to your kayak so it floats in the water and stick your crabs in there, or just fish.lol
The name is Trip. I've started bringing a mesh bag with me for stuff like that now lol. If I could fish better, I would! Thanks for the tip!
no problem, im learning myself lol
No Sprayskirts and no PFD's What?
Didn't need spray skirts as you can probably tell by watching and the PFD's were in the yaks ;)
ROFLMAO!!!! BOOYAH!!!!!!!
I really love your video's brother. At first I thought you were acting then after watching your video's I realized that was your real personality. You have got to be a blast to chill with. Keep up the great work!!!! I will be Yakking in 6 weeks when my custom Jackson Cuda 14 gets here.
Your Awesome!!!!
+Fuzzy Brewster Hehe, glad you enjoy it man. Yep, that's me for sure lol No acting there! Hope you enjoy your new sweet ride man, should be a good one, nice yak. I'll keep filming as long as people keep watching, commenting and sharing. Thanks bud!
what you got wood working videos
Yea... Used to do woodworking videos. But kayaking is more fun!
I noticed in one of the videos where you're doing your list check I saw the drawers in the back they're very beautiful where you keep your equipment
excellent video! Almost as good as mine (just joking lol). Keep them coming
Haha, thanks Bluebell! I'll keep the camera rolling!
SailingandSuch Out of pure interest, did you teach yourself kayaking or have lots of formal training?
Taught myself how to "kayak". Taught myself how to camp basically as well.
+SailingandSuch
haha ok!Glad to hear it.
In the UK its drilled into you to get training, learn to Eskimo roll etc. UK kayaks tend to be thinner (seas are pretty rough too). 'American' style kayaks are wider. Im tending towards American for ease (and to teach myself).
Ah, I don't have any training of than UA-cam and the learning the hard way lol
12:45 female crabs on the grill
I have since learned that if you see red on the tips of their claws then they are females. I don't believe there is an issue with eating the females unless they are carrying eggs though. Thanks for watching John!
+SailingandSuch i agree I just thought it was a legal issue... keep up the good work
+john jameson Could be, I should investigate. will do bud! Thanks!
I just found your videos and am enjoying them today. Since I'll be coming to the Gulf coast soon to spend several months RVing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, and crabbing, I looked up the rules re blue crab females. The bottom line is, DON'T EAT THEM! Eat only those randy males. I use the same rules when taking lobsters--
only the males.
Here is what the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says.
Can female blue crabs be harvested?
Female blue crabs may be harvested lawfully if they are not bearing
eggs. Although it is lawful to keep non-egg bearing female blue crabs,
it is a conservation practice to release them unharmed. There has been
evidence that the females support the population of the species. Male
crabs are capable of mating several times, but females are only able to
mate once, after they mature.
If a juvenile female is harvested, there will be no chance that she
will be able to reproduce. Additionally, mature females may store sperm
in their bodies for several months after mating in order to spawn at a
later date. If a mature female is harvested, though she may not exhibit
eggs, there is no certainty that she has spawned.
Releasing female blue crabs enhances reproductive capacity and population renewal.
5:05 my ex girlfriend had crabs 🦀
Oh boy.....
Better a girl then a dude. I got them over in South Korea in the Army from my roommate. What a crazy experience! 😷😳😖
Boooooyaaaaaahhhhhh
Yea buddy!
+SailingandSuch love your videos man keep up the good work
Thanks Matthew! I'll keep the camera rolling!
Ha! Great video, very entertaining. I live in a sailing town in UK, so if you are ever this side of the world let me know...we could collab :)
+The Wild Native Thanks Hannah! I'd love to experience that side of the world one day. Haven't had the chance yet but if I do it would be awesome to get together. Thanks for watching and the comment!
you do realize florida is the worlds most famouse stop for a shark attack
Hehe, yes I do!
donald servais sharks 🦈 don't really attack most of the time he are nice and epic
You can tell he's good when he's in barefoot.
Lol yea baby! I love being able to stay barefoot for almost an entire trip!
His misery is your pleasure??? oh crap karma's gonna be a bitch "bitch!!!"
I really like the bigger tarp...rain very rarely actually falls straight down.
I don't know the details of your kayaks, but the older one your friend is using actually appears sleeker and better designed and would fare better in rougher water. Newer isn't always better.
+tazmun Lol! Yea, bigger is sometimes better. I haven't had an issue with my homemade tarp which is smaller than this one. If it rains bad you just have to lower closer to the hammock to stay dry.... Trade off I guess.
I actually have been using the grey one recently and will continue with it until I get another. It has a more comfortable seat to me. All I like about the yellow one better is the hatches are easier to access......
+SailingandSuch If you look underneath a crab you will see a pattern on the underside of their "bellies" the one that looks more circular/oval is a female, while males have a more lighthouse or longer point shape
Why butcher the trout and try to fillet the thing? Such a waste. I cook them bone in unless they are very large. All that meat around the head and bones, just lost.
Hmmmm, I'll have to try that next time. Thanks for the tip! I like it!
have the decency to kill the crab before cooking it alive!
+Superooch Gaming Good point, what do you think is the best way?
+SailingandSuch I'm mean u can do it anyway but the crab probably was terrified and died being burned and cooked alive.
+Superooch Gaming Probably right....
Lol u have to sex crabs by the under side not the claws
I've been told a few ways.... I guess I need to find the RIGHT way huh?
