    Want to try dispersed camping for the first time. I’ve done backpacking but never in my vehicle. Would love to find this spot.

      I placed the fish back in the water. I think he’ll live another day.

    Can you post up where you go in these videos. That looked similar to Hopkins Prairie but I have not seen a spring over that way.

    • @OverlandFlorida

      I haven’t posted exact locations in a while. Just get out and explore and it will look familiar to you.

    Hi Kevin, nice vid. I’m planning to take my two kids and wife to camp at Hopkins Prairie, and I wonder, do you recommend carrying your gun in your belt all the time? Did you do it for wild animals or thieves?

      You can wear your firearm however you feel comfortable.

    I enjoy your videos and purchases my first 4x4 this spring. I will probably comment on each video to find where you access your destinations so we can visit as well. Where would we enter to find this location? Appreciate it. JD

      The best advice and adventure is to just enter the forest wherever is closest to you. Then explore on your own.

    Question: is a permit required to disperse camp in Ocala NF? Any chance of a location via pm? thanks

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  6 годин тому

      No permit required. But, no camping is allowed during hunting season. So basically all the cool weather months are off limits.

    I wanna do this so bad. I’ve got a Chevy Colorado but it’s not a 4x4. Do you think I’d be okay out there? Your friends are lucky to have a guide.

    • @OverlandFlorida

      If you go after a rain when the sand isn’t so soft, then you would be fine.

    As always a nice video. We are happy to join you on an Ocala adventure. We tend to camp at Alexander Springs during the summer but certainly up for a primitive site. Give me a shout if interested.
