Thanks for taking us along with you, Stephen! With our TS Debbie rain, we’ll be getting our feet wet during most all of our hikes. Been raining off/on at my place now for about 20 hours. Got over 12” of water in the gauge during that time. Might have to break out the waders!

Yeah, the woods are going to be flooded. Might have to use my blow up mattress as a raft.😆

Do you get many tic issues out there?

Yes the ticks are pretty bad. I have to keep tick spray in my truck and treat my gear too.

Nice hike! I did that one about two weeks ago in the evening. Last one off trail so I got to see a bunch of critters! You should check out Little Big Econ Forest at the Barr St trailhead. East cut of the FT and has a ton of side trails. Southbound it heads all the way down to the east west split and is pretty much trail the whole way with plenty of campsites. Keep up the great videos!

It is good to see that people are out and about. It's nice to hike alone, but it is nice to meet people every now and again and chew the fat. I loved the deer and the hog. It just goes to show that it may be near places, but it is still wild. Is that a manmade levee. I wondered if we would see a gator or not. I was worried about gators, and you come up on a rattle snake 😮. I loved the woodpecker, too. It is great that they have boardwalks over the difficult sections. Another great hike, Stephen. Thanks for sharing.

I get it Stephen, once you are wet, you may as well just go for it. At least it keeps the feet cool. We've only had a few days over 70f this side of the pond. There are certainly some great trails out there. It reminds me of my hikes how wet and boggy this was. You look for the beauty in everything. I just look around in awe at the beauty, too. And it gets wetter! I'd be afraid of gators. Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff, Stephen! There is a learning curve to “hammocking” … which is the only way we camp now. We sleep so much better hanging than we do when on the ground. Question for you: At the places you’ve left your truck overnight, such as McNeil and Tucker … do you know of any issues with car break-ins? That’s my only concern about overnighting … the security of our car. Keep up the great work your are doing … you got a talent for this!

@walkeroutdoorsadventures852126 күн бұрын

I've RV camped & hiked there plenty of times. SWFWMD donated that park to the county. Once you pass thru the fence line you're back on state land. Looks like Bigfoot camp hasn't been used in a long time. What a waste. That terrible dirt road is Auton. Best to use River Road to access the park.
