Fishing, hunting, camping, cooking - I enjoy getting out and enjoying life outside. I'm a native Texan who has spent much of my free time outdoors. I've picked up some great experience over the years, and I hope to share my knowledge and adventures with you.

Damn that sucks tho you draw blood you pay full price
Yeah, but that's pretty typical with guided hunts. I'm still pretty bummed about it, but have another hunt planned for the fall and hope to get redemption.
Interesting. No backing?
Nope, I don't use backing on my inshore reels - just braid straight on the spool. Not the main reason, but it does allow me to keep fishing if I happen to lose a chunk of line to a snag or large fish.
Your not worried if you do that often enough the kettle will burn holes where the charcoal is against the metal?
I've had this kettle for at least 10 years now, and yes, there is some corrosion in some parts of the grill where I typically have my fires - whether it's a snake, offset fire or similar. I recently sanded everything down and resprayed it will high-temp grill paint to get some more life out of it. Especially down here on the Texas coast, these grills have a lifespan - and the more you use them, the shorter that is. I've kept this one up as well as I can, and hope to get a few more years out of it, but know I will eventually have to replace it with another.
I owned property on the Aransas River in Bee County many years ago. Of course, it’s a dinky river in comparison to these rivers, but it’s a lot closer to you and still a fascinating area to track the headwaters. Interestingly enough, highly treated wastewater from the city of Beeville is one of the biggest sources of water into this river basin. I had alligators and monster gar in the river on my property many years ago. Great channel. First time here.
Oh wow, that's pretty cool! I am planning another river trip, and the Aransas is on my list. I didn't know about the Beeville wastewater connection - that could be an interesting tidbit! Thanks for letting me know!
@@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors absolutely. Highway 202 about 3 miles east of Beeville you will find a bridge over Poesta Creek (a tributary into the Aransas). There should be a small dirt road next to the bridge that allows access to the creek. Underneath, you’ll find clearish running water, huge carp, a decent photo spot for your next trip. I can attest this exists 20+ years ago. 😂
@@haroldbeauchamp3770 Excellent, thank you! I just looked on the satellite view and sure enough, looks like it's there. I'm not sure when I'll plan my next trip, but this is definitely on the list!
Such a pretty snake
Thanks! And the results are tasty!
Bottom vent? Open? Looks good
Yes, I keep my bottom vent constant about 1/4 open, and move the top vent only to control temperature. Thanks!
Me encanta la cara de satisfacción al haber hecho el trabajo uno mismo, saludos cordiales desde Aguascalientes México. 🙋🏻✌️
Muchas gracias. ¡Te agradezco que mires!
Hello, I too applied this to my truck, and this is a project that I would definitely pay a company to install again. It's been about 5 months since I applied the Hurculiner, and it has completely lost its shine and has also deteriorated leaving behind the factory paint to bleed through. I want to make clear, I don't use either vehicle for work, it primarily sits all the time, with that said I'm highly disappointed with this product. My other vehicle (F-250), I previosly took to a professional LineX installer, and the difference was night and day. I do not recommend this Hurculiner product. Spend the extra few hundred dollars and get yourself a lifetime warranty and be satisfied with the end results by using a professional. Btw, I'm an avid dyi guy and this took me three days from start to finish. The professional installer had it all finished in less than 6 hours.
Yes, I completely agree that a professionally-applied product is the way to go on this. I'm curious about your Herculiner deteriorating, as I have not had similar results. Mine is holding up well after over 3 years, and I abuse the heck out of it. It has worn through where I drag my kayak in and out, but for the most part, it's still adhered well (except for a few thin places).
@@TheGoodeLifeOutdoorsPrior to application, I prepped the surfices correctly as instructed and took my time, this was process was not rushed in any way nor did I cut any corners. I applied three coats, and was initially satisfied. However, after three months it began to fade completely and the thickness has deteriorated. I live in SoCal so no harsh environment was to blame. I'm not sure what caused this to happen other than the product being faulted.
@@apolloplanb5209 Yeah, that all sounds like the right process. I wonder if you got a bad batch?
I Luv My Bear Claws!
Awesome! I love mine, too!
ive had alot of trucks. the worst bedliner is those plastic inserts, they just harbor moisture underneath and are so slippery as to be DNAGEROUS. In that light on a new truck i would leave stock alone unless you know u r gonna be giving it heavy ahrd use BUT even with heavy hard use i noticed with my one truck thick spray in liner. it was great in most respects but try move a 300 lb fridge on that soft pliable surface by yourself! unless u r a hulk , YOU WONT. the legs sink in and 1 guy cant easily maneuver it.
I agree on the plastic bedliners. I've found the Herculiner has hardened up over time, so while it's not the toughest liner out there, it does allow for heavy material movement without catching. That said, at the edge of the bed at the tailgate, the constant dragging of my kayak out and in has completely worn through the liner and the paint - here is where I'm thankful for the aluminum body on the F150 as there is no corrosion in that spot.
Just did this to my 2018 f150. Did you use the blue or the red thread locker and is it necessary?
Blue for sure. Is it necessary? Probably better than finding out otherwise. 😆
@@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors the instructions don’t say to use thread locker that’s why I ask. And you’re supposed to check the torque at 100 miles and 500 and 1000 so wouldn’t your think it’s pointless since it’s gonna break the bond? Probably will take the tires off this weekend and add some of my orange thread locker (stronger then blue but removable) just to be safe
You can smoke anything on a weber kettle 💪
Heck yeah! Thanks for stopping by!
I enjoyed watching this video. In 2018, I took a road trip in which I followed the Red River from where I-44 crosses it all of the way upstream to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. I explored the Park and visited both Amarillo and Lubbock as well as driving on I-27 all of the way from its north end to its south end. This was the first time in my life that I have visited Palo Duro Canyon State park as well as Amarillo and Lubbock.
Thanks for following along! Sounds like you had a great trip on the Red! Palo Duro is definitely a cool spot, and I'm looking forward to getting back.
2011 f150 170000 3.5 eco love it
Awesome! I'm now just under 120k with this one, and it's done great!
Nice! Come and do mine too. 🤣🤣
Ha! Thanks for watching!
Hope you guys weathered the storm okay. We lost power and limb down, but okay here so far!
Yes, we had less than 1/10" of rain, and no issues with services - Beryl pretty much missed us. I'm glad y'all are ok!
Glad Rockport is safe. My son & his family are vacationing in Corpus Christi. They used to live in Rockport 4 years ago. Thankful you are safe.👍
Thank you!
Haha. I was thinking i was crazy and not sure why i had to run a tap thru all the holes. Why the hell wouldn't Ford use an actual bolt in there.
I understand they're reasoning. Many folks may not use this option, so the holes can stay protected by the paint. It's easy enough to drive them in there if you need them.
Hi The Goode Life Outdoors! First of all you make amazing videos, keep it up! My name is Camila and I'm from the Argentinian news agency LANA. We are doing a report about the hurricane Beryl in Texas and we want to ask you if we can use a few seconds of your video (with the correct credit/source of The Goode Life Outdoors as appropriate, and a link to your channel). Thanks in advance!! All my best!
Thank you! Reach out to my email - [email protected]
loved it
Thanks, Carl!
🙏 Stay safe
Thank you!!
San Marcos represent! I’ve been here for 4 years and it’s the most beautiful river in the world. I love it. I’ve lived on it and walked to it nearly every since I lived here
It’s got 2 sets of Chevy keys that I gifted it 💔
Awesome! Glad you enjoy it there! Thanks for following along.
Ha! Oops!
How do you not include two major rivers like the Sabine and Trinity?? The Sabine forms the State boundary line with Louisiana just north of Joaquin Texas and the Trinity may be the most important river in Texas... Sulphur and Angelina are two that i can understand not including because they're not as well known
The short answer is time. We mapped out what we could visit in the time we had, knowing we wanted to get up to the Rio Grande in Colorado. Another trip is definitely in the works, and the Trinity and Sabine are high on the list. I've even been made aware of some rivers from folks comments that I wasn't previously aware of, so that gives me even more options. Stay tuned, and thanks for following along!
I really like them,but not for 800 dollars!
I definitely understand. I will say, there are exceptionally well-made and still look amazing on my truck.
What generation raptor wheels? I have a 2020 fx4 with the tow package. I want to do this exact thing on my truck!
I believe these are from a 2019-2020 Raptor, so should fit your situation as well as mine with the same set up. I've enjoyed the heck out of mine!
What about the Sabine river and trinity and sulfur and san Antonio rivers.. white oak creek is big water shed.
I am in the process of planning another trip to explore more of our rivers, and the Sabine, Trinity, Sulphur, and San Antonio are all on the list! Stay tuned...
55 thou ? B.S. it's probably more like 85 thou for that year.
Yes, I agree that now, 3 years after I posted this video, the prices for trucks has skyrocketed. In early 2021, 55k was completely doable for this model and features, but that very soon became unrealistic. Thanks for following along!
That’s cool
It was definitely more of a sea rise that we were expecting. I'm hoping all the businesses affected come through ok with their insurance.
Y did I get where I live recommend to me
KZread is getting smarter every day. Thanks for watching!
How quick did it dry when you were rolling it on?
We have pretty high humidity on the Texas coast, so it took quite a while to set up - especially the first coat. After all coats were applied, I was comfortable putting things on it after about 24 hours.
Step 1 and most important: Live somewhere where it doesn't snow, so the salt doesn't rust rot the frame.
That does make an enormous difference!
Thanks for the vid. I’m about to go outside now and put em on my 18 Supercab
Awesome! I've loved having them on mine, and they've held up great over time.
Weird had an issue on passenger side where factory plastic screws are for mudflaps. The holes in liner don’t line up with screws so there a space between liner and fender there where the screws are pushing away the liner.
@@dsen1889 That is weird. Do you think the supercab wheel wells are different from the supercrew? Were you able to get it resolved?
How is it holding up today?
After pretty heavy use over the past 3 years (hauling lumber, rocks, kayaks, gear), it's held up ok, but not as good as professionally-applied products I've had on other trucks. There are some places that have worn through completely where I drag my kayak across all the time, but it's minor. I have a couple of small spots on the wheel well sides that are flaking, probably due to me not prepping well enough. From 20ft back, it still looks great! I do plan to put out an update video of how it's done over time, and reapplying over some of the wear areas, but that will have to wait until it gets cooler here in south Texas.
It came out great! After 3 year does it still good or is coming off?

@@TheGoodeLifeOutdoorsthank you for the update and for taking the time to reply!
@@caoc062791 You're welcome!
I use this method almost exclusively. The BEST advice that I can offer is that every grill has its own personality. Using this method I use 2 rows on bottom and 1 on top. Of my Weber Kettle's the red one will park at 225ish with all vents wide open. The green grill will park at 250 ish with all vents wide open. The black grill will park at 275-290 with vents wide open. Naturally, i can adjust down by using the vents. My perfect low-n-slow temp is 209-212 and that's easily achievable with 2 of my 3 Kettles. You have to use your grill (of any brand) to let it show you where it wants to be. Also, you can set your charcoal "stacked" like dominoes to increase temp or lay them flat but touching to decrease temp.
Exactly! Thanks for sharing. I have even found that outdoor temperature and humidity can affect the burn. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
So when they change the fuel, water separator and my in-line filter I went hand tight and then a tweak with a tool? Do you just go hand tight?
I go firmly hand tight on both. I had to use a wrench to start the filter to take it off the first time, but it shouldn't take a ton of pressure to seal it up.
Thank you any videos you have on the DF 250 keep making them Just bought the boat
Will do! What boat do you have?
Thank you
You're welcome!
I like your voice over edits lol. Truck looks nice
Thanks so much!
I have a '23 XL with short bed and I don't remember seeing these indentations in my bed- are these indents on all the F150 beds
It's possible it's not an option on all beds. The indents are pretty obvious, so you'd have them or not. They're pretty useful if you do!
You dont need a permit to film in a national park unless it is a commercial venture. If your channel isnt monetized, you can film all you want.
This is true, and I should have clarified that. Since my channel is monetized, I did not want to jeopardize it by showing any footage that could cause trouble.
@@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors Can you demonitize a video, or does it apply to the channel and all videos?
@@oscarb9139 As a monetized creator, you can choose whether a video is monetized. I believe KZread can de-monetize a single video if it's determined to violate requirements, and then has the option to completely de-monetize a channel if the creator is regularly out of compliance. I simply like keeping it safe.
@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors I can't imaging you get much income from this video. I think you should have released it without monetization to show the beauty of the park. Obviously, it's your channel, your call.
What cut is this?
That’s a bone-in Boston butt
The rivers across the state of Texas could have better fishing if the Wildlife Department were to add hornwort plant, starmoss, and freshwater amphipods to the headwaters.
That’s interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Loved your Texas rivers headwaters trip. Stuck in bed and Really love your travels. Hope to get better enough and hit the camp life again . Hi to your Dad getting all those Trout.😃🇺🇲👍
I hope you recover soon! Thanks for following along!
I’ve caught wild cutthroat trout on The Canadian in New Mexico.
Nice! We were catching cutthroats in the Rio Grande!
@@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors idk bud, if you told me that you were on the Rio Costilla, I’d believe that. Catching a Cutt on the Rio Grande is a 1 in million type of thing.
@@hunterxangler Well, we did catch quite a few of them in the Rio Grande reservoir, along with rainbows and browns. They were biting like crazy, and we would have stayed there all day if the snowstorm hadn't forced us off the lake. cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/ResearchRioGrandeCutthroatTrout.aspx
@@TheGoodeLifeOutdoors the RGC trout you can target in the head waters of the Rio Grande, but that’s it, so Creede
@@hunterxangler Exactly
When I first moved to Texas, I sought out the beginning of the San Antonio River and found the Lone Star beer brewery. It's hard to top that.
That’ll work! Thanks for following along!
Which national park are you speaking of that doesn't allow filming without a permit?
We were at Guadalupe mountains, but from what I read, all national parks require permits to film for monetary purposes. I did not know that before the trip, so didn’t want to use my footage from there and cause trouble with my channel.
Kinda bummed that the headwaters of the red river wasn't an old big red bottling company
Ha! True!
You passed about 30 miles just south of the headwaters of the San Saba near the ruins of Fort McKavett historic site. I drive by it going to my brother's deer lease
It’s on the list for my next trip! That’s an awesome area for a deer lease. Thanks for following along!
I have always been fascinated by the headwaters and enjoyed this. My family is blessed to have part of the headwaters of the west prong of the frio river. If you want to come check it out let me know. We have a campsite right on the springs and its amazing. Have a good one!
Wow, thank you! Please reach out at [email protected] as I would like to learn more. I appreciate you following along on our trip!
