    Funny you say that. Nestle is NOT a drinking water company, they are a plastic bottle company. The Earth gives us the water for free.

    • @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor
      @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor  3 місяці тому +1

      Exactly! Kills me that these companies are making so much money off of this. But I try to just preserve and highlight. It's meant to be enjoyed and protected.

    • @steveperry8678
      @steveperry8678 Місяць тому

      Right. And Nestle takes the free water and puts it in plastic bottles and then sells it to us.

    Can you bottle/drink more than a handful of water for yourself from the spring?

    While camping are you guaranteed access into the spring and allowed first access? Or do you need to pay to get into the spring and wait with other people visiting?

    • @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor
      @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor  2 місяці тому

      Sorry I missed this! You are allowed first access. You are in the gates and will not be denied entry. No additional access fee

    I’m a GMRS guy.
    Very short antenna. Lol

    • @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor
      @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor  6 місяців тому

      Haha short indeed. I use GMRS on the trail with folks who are not licensed in amateur radio. It tends to be the medium of choice. GMRS is used very heavily in Colorado also, and I had the pleasure of speaking to some really nice folks when I've gone out there. I'd call 17 foot short compared to my 134 foot long wire at the house lol

    • @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor
      @SwampFoxOverlandandOutdoor  6 місяців тому

      Not from this area. It is popular for a lot of kayak fishermen. There is a kayak/ canoe drop in, and you can explore the rest of the area. We just went to the day use area mainly used for scuba and swimming.

    I used to scuba dive into these Florida springs in my late teens. The caverns and caves are actually boring. Definitely not worth lugging twin 80s around.
    The way to enjoy the springs is to do exactly what you did.
