Very cool. We did five days from Everglades City out to Picnic, Camp LuLu and Fakahachee all by canoes and that was challenging. You could pick a portion of a few days just right, but invariably you will hit wind, seas and currents in the face. We did a very similar route in your video, but camping by skiff. Your first Chickee is a rough one. It's in a river bend so while nice to be out of the wind for a bit, it was a challenge with the bugs as there was no wind. Our favorite was Plate Creek Chickee and Pavilion Key beautiful places to camp, stars everywhere at night and the wind that you hate while paddling is great for bugs. It's one thing to experience this, it's another thing to also capture that experience with a great video. You did an excellent job.

Thanks @longstrangejourney4776! Totally agree about Pavilion Key. We spent a beautiful night there. Just enough of a breeze to keep the mosquitos away and about a gazillion stars overhead! One we won't soon forget...

It is an incredibly easy place to get turned around in. Often looks identical in every direction! Bugs? No sweat during the day (I'm sure the breeze helped). First trip (this trip), the calm nights were oppressive with mosquitos. The second trip we did (another video on here), we took a Thermacell backpacker mosquito repeller with us. Best $35 ever spent!! Sat for hours drinking wine, listening to blues, and looking at the stars. As long as we were within a few feet of the Thermcell, never got a bite...

The mosquitos are a function of temp., humidity and on the water, they are benign, on land they can be a nightmare, I am getting the $35 thing. thanks. yeah, the place is heaven for sure without the bugs.@@brent23961

Awesome trip and nice videography. I have to say that is the best route flyover I've seen in any of these adventure videos. Just curious about your work flow there. Did you upload real GPS data to GE and then record the flyover over the route? Or did you draw the route manually? Cheers.

@brent23961 Жыл бұрын
Hey! The light blue/green line is the actual GPS track from a Garmin inReach. The fly-over route was drawn manually since we wanted to be able to back off a bit and see the route from a little bit different angle. Especially around corners. Bit kludgy, but glad it was helpful!

@brent23961 Right on. I'll have to try your approach. I've been using the app Relive, that automatically does a similar thing. But yours is so much better since you create your own flyover. Thanks so much for the reply.

I love kayaking but your guys are "real" kayakers. Mine have pedals and motors. Only aboutu 24% through the vid and I'm hoping you guys have some top notch GPS devices on board. I'm surprised you guys are not interested in fishing. Would have been a good and delicious food source. Would have been tough to not catch fish. Still loving the vid. lol, ,yep you can't see shit when you're staring at mangroves. You guys must be pretty expreienced.

How do one negotiate a sharp 'planted' turn? I guess that steering with legs only can only work in gentle bends???

If you load the area you'll be in into Google maps on your phone prior to the trip you can navigate that way, the GPS will work even without a cell signal.

I'm completely envious and would love to go back. Battery A-2/52 Nike Missile Site out on what is known now as Research Road was my home in the early 70's for almost a year. Even the few research buildings that are there now wasn't there when the site was used. Never got tired of the Everglades, it and surrounding areas are a fisherman's Heaven. Great video showed a lot of stuff I didn't get to see while there. Thanks. NW ga.

We were there in March. During the day we didn't have any troubles with mosquitos at all. At night, however, they were certainly out. On a prior trip we'd just given up, even with bug mesh hoodies, and retired to our tents after dark. This time we took a little Thermacell mosquito repeller (www.rei.com/product/133424/thermacell-backpacker-mosquito-repeller). We were skeptical. It was the first time we'd used one, but literally didn't get a single bite as long as we were sitting within a few feet of it. It's the only reason there's any video after sunset. Game changing!

Nothing fancy. Almost all of it was just shot with either a GoPro 9 or 10. A little bit was shot on iPhones (10 or 11). A few zooms of birds/dolphins were shot with an older Panasonic 4K video camera (which given its age was probably the worst video quality of the lot). Amazing what GoPros can do these days! The time lapses were GoPros, for example.
