So, I've been wanting to take this adventure since getting my kayak! Three Days of Solitude is obviously a play on words, since my kayak is named Solitude. However it works in a couple ways! Three days of kayaking on the river, camping alone, and spending time in deep reflection!!!
It got tough a few times but boy was it worth it!
Please follow along and enjoy the video, who knows you may find yourself needing a few days of solitude also!!! Thanks for watching!!!

No Worries, Shaun🤩 You're Awesome Anytime!😎 Stay Safe😊 GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY
🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
The sound of the frogs and crickets at night is therapy ! Great video
Yeah, I love it!
Thanks for sharing looks like a nice area
It's a beautiful location! Thanks for watching!
Watched a bit of it, kinda skipping through. Looks like a really good campsite..... Then to finish it off with a steak and mixed drink, looks like you're doing it right! Good variety of shots/angles ;)
Thanks brother!
Enjoyed your video, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I did the Suwannee for 2 weeks with a motor and canoe. the most profound thing was seeing no people or talking to people for days. it is a good thing. Also I parked at Dowling Park and got a tow notice on my window. Luckily I was out before the Sherriff towed it. When you do not see or talk to people for days, you rely on YOURSELF. that is a good thing.
Absolutely, I love the solitude! Sounds like you had a great trip!
A few roasted tomatoes and green peppers on a skewer would go great with that steak!
Outstanding video, really enjoyed watching..
Thank you sir!
Love that you named your boat Solitude. I rarely build a fire, but an alcohol stove can't grill a steak.
Thanks so much! Sometimes, you just need some coals and smoke! Lol
Why must people always proclaim that they never build a fire? Good for you. I cook meat over flames!
@@damkayaker Thanks, I don't mind building a fire as long as it's done safely! Always make sure it's out before you leave!
For Michael ‼️❣️❣️❣️
This video is 40% beautiful nature 60% complaining. The glass is half full brother.
Another great show Shaun!! Looking forward to the next day...
Thanks Tom!!
Your videos are getting better and better! Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for that! I truly appreciate that feedback! Do you follow our Facebook page by chance?
Weres your potatoes at wild man ??? Looks like your having fun , im waiting for this ky weather to cool off and im outta here lol punching the time clock.. !!! Good video buddy.. new subscriber here . See ya on the trail ..
Thanks for subbing! The funny thing is, I thought multiple times about bringing potatoes but I never did! I wished I had brought some though! Lol
Sounds like an introverts destination.
Nice scenery. Beautiful. Excellent video sir. Gator. Scarie.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!
Good video…👍👍 stump knickers..nice editing job too
Thanks a lot my friend! I really try my best to make the best content l can! Thanks for the support!
Sorry you had a few hiccups in this trip. How cool that the restaurant came through for you and let you park in their lot. I’ve been itching to kayak here lately and might even go do some cold river kayaking to get my fix. The site looks peaceful by the river in spite of it being on a trail. I look forward to catching the rest of the vids from this trip.
Blessings,
David
Thanks buddy I appreciate that!
I believe I have that same audio book.... thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thanks for watching buddy!!!
Shaun , I think I may have the same kayak, if that is a T12. Maybe the next time you go on a kayak camp trip you might do a load out video section, showing how you got everything organized. (unless it comes later on in this video) I am currently at the 16 minute mark watching. Thought I would ask while it was on my mind. I am trying to decide whether to change kayaks or just keep my battle ship and use it for camping. -Tony
I've been asked that a few times, I'll make a video on it soon. Thanks for watching!
And yes sir, it's a T12! Like paddling a bathtub! Lol
great video
Thanks buddy
Great video man ! Loved that steak ! Man you got all the toys ! LOL 😁
Getting there! Lol
This was great. Things went sideways and you kept going
That's right! It's what you've got to do! Thanks for watching!
I'm planning something like this this weekend. I'm planning to just find a spot in the woods when I feel like stopping to camp. I'm in WA so it'll be easy to camp unnoticed
I was nervous for ya after all the Allegators you seen. I live in TN. I've really enjoyed your camping and kayaking.
They ain't that aggressive! Lol
Thanks for watching!
Watching from Michigan. I love paddling up here but there is no way you'd get me in a yak in any water with gators. Which kinda sucks because I'm looking to move to Florida 😅
Awe man, they don't bite much! Lol
@ReWyld Outdoors been a phobia of mine since I was very young. Didn't make a whole lot of sense though seeing as I lived in the desert back then. I'll get over it I'm sure once I'm down there hopefully.
For breaking down bigger firewood I’ve been using an Agawa boreal 24 saw. Even happy with it. And get in that river to cool off.
I did end up getting a boreal 21 saw and I love it! I got in the river and cooled off a few times! That's one of the tricks to camping in warm weather in Florida, camping by water!!! Thanks for watching!
@@ReWyldOutdoors 10/4. Good video.
If ya every get the chance visit the santa fe river, I love going there
Yeah, I grew up on the Santa Fe. I've got a few videos on the Santa Fe!
@@ReWyldOutdoors guess I'll have to do some digging
Get the red handle gomboy I believe it is the 180. It is much more sturdier yes, a little shorter but way more rigid.
Thanks Jeff, I'll look into that!
That bandana thing seems like a good idea keep the bigger stuff out
That's exactly right! Just prefilters all the debris and minnows out! Lol
Nice video! Cool channel. Nice kayak setup. New follower here. Crow✌️
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy the channel!
Pretty area!
Thanks
@@ReWyldOutdoors How do you handle the “little” lizards that like to swim? I’m from the north and would be a bit nervous being in a kayak.
great video..:) advice...if you know that you're going to need to cut a lot of wood, you can bring a full size buck saw. the small camping saw is "just in case"...lol
I never really have to cut a lot of wood like that being here in Florida, but you're right! And I do have a small buck saw for those kind of trips!
Nice video! Maybe I missed it at the beginning, but I missed where this adventure took place? Looks kinda like Georgia? Always looking for new adventures on new rivers. Camped on the Altamaha, Satilla, Ogeechee, Ohoopee, Okefenokee. This looks like it has a lot of potential
Hey Joe! Thanks for watching. This was on the Withlacoochee River! Beautiful river, BIG Gators! Lol
@@ReWyldOutdoors which Withlacoochee, the one near central FL or the one up at the Fl/Ga state line?
This was down in Dunnellon!
YOU Are SOOOOO Close to 1,000 Subscribers🌟🌟🌟
Yes ma'am! 😊
Nice video. where is this?
This was on the Withlacoochee River in Dunnellon!
Living the dream! You and I are going to have to do this together soon and do a dual kayak trip! Wish I had been there.
Yes slr, definitely!
Good video. I like your camp and tarp setup. Perfect for those pop up showers!!
Like your laid back and direct approach style. Just subscribed!
I was down in Ocala on family trip last week. Visited Silver Springs...last time I was there...40 yrs ago. Still wonderful!
Stopped by Suwannee Springs to see the old springs on way back. Thinking about a 2 nighter starting at the upper Suwannee.
Your thoughts on Suwannee?
Thanks for the kind words and subbing! I've got a plan to camp on the Suwannee coming up myself! Check out the river camps on the Suwannee, they're free and are really nice! Trip Smith has some good videos on it!!!!
Saludos
Hello, Thanks for watching!!
What's with the music?!! Other than that nice video!
Some like the music some don't! I personally like the music, it helps create the feeling I'm trying to portray! Thanks for watching!
I live in Florida for 30+ years now. I have lived all over GA, MO, KS, IA, and FL. I have paddled all over the place in whitewater, swamp, ocean, and calm rivers and I am planning another trip in the near future. You don’t say anywhere in your description nor comments WHERE you are paddling on this trip. The only clue is “Hwy 200”. Is this a state Hwy? A U.S. Hwy? Which river are you paddling/camping in this video?
This was Two Mile Prairie Campsite on the Withlacoochee river! Thanks for watching!

Enjoyed the camp. I also enjoyed the kayak. What brand and model is the kayak? Looks like it is set up to haul quite a bit of gear. Thumbs up.
Thanks for watching Lonnie! The kayak is an Ascend 12t, I believe the capacity is around 350lbs. With me and the gear, im pushing it! lol
I'm definitely glad you enjoyed the video!
3:08 Hey I noticed you have the exact same life jacket as my new one that I haven't worn yet. I'm still using my 2004 well broken in Stolquist jacket. What do you think about those two big molded pockets on the front? Do they bother you at all? I was thinking of cutting them off ...
No man, they don't bother me at all! They are actually deep enough to hold my cellphone! If I'm fishing, I keep some of my more used tackle in the pockets along with a pair of pliers! That's the most comfortable pfd I've ever owned!!!
Hello brother how you doing Sean? Man this was a good kayak camping video you did. I really enjoyed watching this. I can definitely agree with you on the frustration part man. They need to get the information correct and make some parking spaces for people who wants to camp overnight. Last thing you need is to have your vehicle towed when you hours away from home. You have a nice kayak man. The campsite look pretty nice man. Me and my family ( wife , 6th boys , granddaughter , & soon to be my grandson ) & my wife coworkers family ( wife , husband , & 2 boys ) we all went on a 30 mile kayak camping trip for memorial weekend and we had a blast. We love to kayak & kayak camping. I'm glad you was able to get camp set up before it started raining man. Your steak dinner look delicious man. I'm glad you took a break when you started overheating and cool your body down. If you had some change of clothes with you you should have jumped in the water to cool your body down really fast since the water was cold. I went through the same exact problem beginning of May. Me , a co-workers of mine , & hey buddy of mine went fishing in 95°degree heat with the heat index in the 100. It wasn't supposed to be 95° until late that afternoon but the weather man lied and it was 95° by 12:00 pm & I was drinking a lot of water but I still ended up overheating & my coworker and my buddy noticed that I wasn't looking right I wasn't responding correctly and not looked very very weak. So they got me off the water really really fast & try to get me cooled down as fast as possible. So I'm glad you got yourself cool down really fast man. Sean I have a couple of questions man? What kind of hammock setup are you using that is big boy friendly. I am building exactly like you and I am looking for a hammock camping setup. I'm using a tent for now cuz I was fade the hammock would break on me while sleeping. But I would like to get me a nice hammock setup man. & #2. In the video at 26:12 i like your Chaco Sandals you was wearing. I was curious to how comfortable they are to wear and would you recommend them. I having trouble finding my size and them because i have big very very extremely wide feet sz15 6E wide with very chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. My foot outgrew shoes , socks , boots when i was 18 years old & flip flops is the only footwear that will barely and i mean barely fit my foot because my toes are wider than the flip flops straps. I have to kayak Barefooted 👣 style because of my foot being so wide. It looks like you have a wide foot too so I was curious how well those sandals work for you & what size are they? I just found your Channel today and I really enjoyed watching your video. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos and I really appreciate the information if you could provide it for me. I hope you and your family have a nice Fourth of July weekend and holiday and please be safe out there. Thank you for sharing this video.
Hey Mack, im glad you enjoyed the video! As far as hammocks go. The hammock in the video is an Etrol pelican 3n1 hammock. I've used it for about a year but unfortunately I wouldn't recommend it at this point. (Video coming on that soon)! Before that I used a cheaper double hammock with a heavy weight rating and an external bug net. My tarp is a DD 3X3 I LOVE IT!!!! How ever it's pretty expensive compared to a very very comparable 3X3 tarp in Amazon
amzn.to/3I7Jwka!
The sandals are actually Croc Swiftwater sandals! amzn.to/3yBWnI0
My feet are wide but I only wear a size 10 so im not sure if theyd have them in your size! I love them though, it's like walking around in tennis shoes!!!
Thanks again for watching!
@@ReWyldOutdoors oh thank you so much for this information buddy I really appreciate this. I would definitely check this information out. Okay the Crocs are Swift Waters. That's what I'm afraid of I can't find them in my size. Man I wish my foot was a size 10. My doctor says that the reason why I'm having trouble finding Footwear for my foot is because of my toes being equally straight across instead of being at a 45° angle like shoes are made. One time I went on a kayak trip to my buddy's house late about a hundred miles away from home. When we was at the boat ramp my flip flop broke on me & I had to go the rest of the day barefooted 👣 wish I don't mind being barefooted 👣 because I'm 95% of the time anyway barefooted 👣. The problem was I had to go to Walmart and pick up some things & get some dinner which I had to go inside the restaurant to get because my truck was too big for they drive through. I was lucky that the restaurant didn't say anything to me about being barefooted 👣 or Walmart for walking around the store barefooted 👣 and the funny part about it the employees were looking down at my feet and saw that I was walking barefooted 👣. The only problem I had in Walmart was some teenage boys screamed out loud that a chubby fat man walking around barefooted 👣 with fat chubby wide toes. It pissed me off because I can't help that I have chubby fat wide toes that are equally straight across. But it was a nice 100 Mi drive back home being Barefooted 👣. Thank you so much for this information man I really do appreciate it. That's awesome to hear that you have a wide foot too & the sandals are working out great for you.
To much energy put into to negative things in the beginning. After that enjoyed it very much 👍
Thanks for watching
How do you like your kayak ? I have the same one and enjoy it so far. A little heavy tho 😊
I do enjoy mine also, I wish it was a little lighter! I'm toying with the idea of switching to the H10 though, a little lighter and about 50 lbs more weight capacity! I think with my kayak camping, that might be a better fit for me! Thanks for watching!
I've got a new kayak camping video coming up Thursday evening! keep an eye out!
Great channel, just discovered it. I do trips with mine and really enjoy the extra room and extra weight capacity. I think you will regret downsizing to the 10t.
The H10 is the hybrid so it has more space inside it, still on the fence about it though!
What's your water system setup?
2L waterdrop gravity water bag, sawyer water filter!
Not to mention the amount of money people like you and I spend on licenses to fish, ammo taxes, (in Massachusetts I HAVE to pay $5 extra for a fishing license for water fowl when I only fish!) Sportsmen are the ones keeping Conservation alive but it seems we have fewer and fewer places to go!
That's absolutely true! it's very frustrating! Thanks for watching!
WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!!!
Why you yelling bro? Lol I was on the Withlacoochee river!
First 3 minutes was whining, shame I didn't go any further after that
That's fine! Thanks for watching 3 mins and commenting! It all helps!
Just stumbled upon your video of the Walmart packable underquilt ,, started checking you out some and gonna subscribe ,, .. if i figure correctly we’re not that far apart .. I’m a member of a small but growing bushcraft group .. check us out and join up South Georgia budget bushcraft .. I’m from a few miles north of Valdosta my self .. or 90 minutes to lake city
Thanks man, I'll check it out. I'm actually in Gainesville, Fl myself! I've got a brother that lives up around Moultrie! Looking to plan a camp up that way soon.
@@ReWyldOutdoors awesome. I’m actually in adel. Have him look into our group too. The more the merrier.. I have thought about a trip down to the state park that’s near lake city ., but when weather gets cooler .. I know in Nov I’ll be headed to the ga bushcraft fall gathering ,, y’all both should attend it , vendors , a nice raffle off at the end ,, probably a pretty good hidden treasure hunt. Last year yeti 45 full of all kinds of goodies I think value hit about 700 bucks
I'm definitely to try to make it this year!
Sorry...Might want to be a little more upbeat and positive...Too much negative and whining...had to move to another video...
That's fine, thanks for watching and commenting! Lol
Pretty awesome video .. I didn’t have time to watch it earlier as I was finishing a forge and working on restoring a cast iron Dutch oven I got for free …. I look forward to seeing some more of your adventures and feel free to post them on our Facebook group .. maybe together we can get you over that 1000 sub mark soon
I appreciate that Ken!
Oh man. Big mistake only having so little subscribers and already asking people to pay $ for content. Its a big reason why people dont sub, or unsub. Just a heads up.
Well, im not asking people to pay for content! Thats why im not monetized! I've got a patreon for those who want to support the channel but aren't being forced to by ads on youtube! I'm doing great, and I'm happy with the channel
Thanks for the "heads up" though!
Got no idea which tiver where. Got tired of watching trying to find out.
