3-Day SOLO Overland, Bike, Paddle Camping - Self Shuttling Adventure

[@CarpetMuscleTV]

Glad to see you putting up the old style content. 🙏🙏🙏

[@TripSmith]

It was fun ;) Just have to see if it performs or not.... Thanks for watching!

That where the Florida phase of ARMY Ranger school is, we conducted night patrols through the area, each night we crossed a water obstacle like that detour creek. Don’t be surprised if in the middle of night Hulu hear them trudging through the jungle. We used the fresh water to refill canteens with water purification tablets back then. Really glad to see older style content.

[@jerryehrlichoutdoors1277]

The kayak/camping videos have always been my favorite. I am glad to see them comming back. I am looking forward to the overlanding ones as well.

[@byronbrasher8118]

My daughter put the rain issue into perspective for me. She said, “Life doesn’t stop because it rains mom”. Changed my attitude completely. Plans can always be altered and turn out to be just as fun. It’s all about attitude.

ATV 12v sprayer for shower. I used to use one as a transfer tank for my camper. Remove spray nozzle and attach a shower head. Just a thought.

[@brotherskeeper2598]

I'm going to see that kayak out again and the bike combo made for a fun adventure. I'd like to see some overlanding upgrades on your truck as well. I think you will enjoy building it.

[@stevenhobbs8847]

Yellow river WMA rite by fisher's ol mill. Love it. That was burnt grocery creek where the Lil camp was. You went all the to brown's fish camp. That sir is a pretty good hual

Secret sleeping helper?? Tape? Huh?? Oh! And this is what I have been waiting for from you! Great video. I bike and hike and kayak…but I don’t have a large boat, so…I needed this!

[@TripSmith]

Oh yea, every night for over a year now! Hey grerat, glad you enjoyed it! When are you planning your trip?

[@kathydomokos8837]

@@TripSmith Not soon enough! I will need a trip south for that! NE Ohio is pretty frozen this time of year. My Florida friends with whom I paddled some of the areas you have shown through the years have moved back to Ohio. Great to have them here…except…well…you know. I miss Florida paddling!

[@Silkroadvideos]

Old content Trip, that’s what most of us wants to see.

[@KSC-ui8zr]

I sure enjoy your kayak paddling videos. Thank you!

[@TripSmith]

Glad you like them!

[@yo-yoboy9837]

I love it. Love all your videos and funny thing is if you take the first trail where you unloaded at it will take you straight up to my house!!

“Got me a couple pork chops for later” - Trip Smith😂😂😂

[@sk8forever12]

Trip I've watched a lot of your videos and they're great content. You have such a good attitude and always looks like your having a blast. No alcohol at least from what I've seen. In todays time its so common for people to need beer or alcohol to go have fun. I've been trying to just have pure joy and find happiness with just the adventure at hand and still have a wide smile across my face. What is your secret of just having such a genuinely positive outlook? Thanks and keep up the vids.!

[@williamhartman3611]

You are the man! I've been watching your videos for awhile now and your longer travel trips are awesome. I have a trip planned for some of the clear water springs in the summer and wouldn't of even known about them without your videos. Keep em coming!

[@TripSmith]

Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy your adventure as well.

[@joeyfoxhall4282]

Great video … I wish I knew you where coming this way… could have brought ya a frosty..lol

[@kennethhardin3790]

Man did I enjoy this one!!! Thank you so much for sharing and taking us along.

[@oxfordblaze4392]

Good to see you back in the yak,....great adventure!!

[@TripSmith]

This was a cool one!

[@caseyntrent]

This is literally my backyard… I was scared for you. I was screaming at the tv….DONT DO IT !!! 😂 Gators, Bears, Moccasins…. Oh my. We are very close to Browns Fishcamp. Loved the video!!!

[@jasonbillings3574]

we like us some Trip Smith originals

[@everymanadventures9285]

It’s videos like this that inspired me to explore local waters and camp where ever I can find. Love this stuff. You may have opened a can worms with outfitting your truck for overlanding. Not sure how serious you want to get with it. But check out “overland bound”. They have a channel and also a community with resources and gear ideas. Especially water systems for sustained off grid travel. Just like any form of camping, there’s a whole wide world of products and gadgets to tailor to your specific needs or wants. I’m loving these simple adventures. And that “shortcut” was right up my alley. 🤙🏻

[@stewartstrickland8304]

Not me thinking Trip was about to let out a wicked sneeze when he was about to blow up his pillow lol😂

[@stephen-thewanderer4007]

This vid is classic Trip Smith. I dig it and the Mr. T starter kit!

[@TripSmith]

Haha! Thanks bud!

[@Theknittingcommitteeband]

nice dude i did the same thing its hard to plan it all right ... cheers

[@bradsmalt3852]

Would definitely like to see you do more of the river and springs stuff on the cayo or other small boats you may have access to. It would be awsome if you went to as many know springs in FL as you can but actually put the GPS coordinates in the info so others can find them too. Maybe a series starting way back and working your way from the NW corner as far south as you can reasonably get.

[@TripSmith]

Yea, that would be a fun idea there Brad.... Maybe I'll add that to the list!

[@loveshinebright1052]

What about a memory foam cut to truck size. Sheet sewn over it then you just roll it to store it. It will give you more sleeping bed room

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

Very cool video per usual Trip. We lika da sauce! 💯

[@perfectweather]

Great video, thanks 👍

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

I grew up going out there it's a wonderful place

[@TripSmith]

Very cool place!

[@JohnMallory]

Might replace my bed with a hammock.. not sure the wife will approve, but they are so comfortable.

[@boatingsibbingandwandering3262]

Could you have done that trip ok in an inflatable canoe i wonder. Also how dangerous are gators in that area

[@DrMott]

I noticed the corners of the Flated have rather large openings?! Man that could be a downer on the road at highway speeds and in weather/dust.

[@TripSmith]

It could be.... There are trade offs for sure. Just replied to your comment on the original FLATED video 👍

[@1morecast09]

Use a thermacell for the truck bed

[@TripSmith]

Yea, that would probably work.....

[@martyhiers9343]

Trip, where did you get the air pillow is there a site or brand you could recommend?

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

I've been stuck out there many a times

[@TripSmith]

I believe it ;)

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

Tripp Smith if you want a camper top go to a junkyard you can get one a lot cheaper

[@TripSmith]

Problem is to fit my truck, it has to be made to fit a 2021 or newer model....

[@5rods5reels29]

Trip is on PED's. I want some. Where you get them???

[@LoneAce007]

Woooo Hoooo!!!

[@TripSmith]

Yes sir!

[@stephen-collins]

Another fun one, at least from this side of the screen! Speaking of, do you have any plans to go to 1440p or even 4K? 1080p is good on a small screen but not as much on my 4K monitor.

[@TripSmith]

Glad you enjoyed it Stephen!!!! I've thought about it but haven't dug deep enough to determine if I should or not. Once you go up the file sizes get quite a bit larger and computer time/power is tougher as well. Probably should give it a shot though. Just this second I set my camera to 2.7k for ya ;)

[@TripSmith]

You know.... I just watched the premiere and it seemed to not be as clear as other videos....

[@ledheavy26]

@@TripSmith Even if you upscale to 4k, or even 1440p I think, in your video editor when you export your video KZbin will give you a different/better video encoder with a higher bit rate than if you uploaded in 1080p.

[@TripSmith]

@@ledheavy26 Ah, sounds legit. Thanks bud!

[@TripSmith]

@@ledheavy26 Wait wait.... Do you mean I can record in 1080 then upscale to 4k and get better quality on KZbin?

[@alexeatonexploresamerica5511]

I'm surprised you didn't just strap the bike to the kayak

[@TripSmith]

Lol no thank you...

[@tonyb2832]

Haha! Love your videos! But I would not put you in charge of buying groceries for a camping trip! 😁

[@TripSmith]

Aw cmon now Tony!!! lol Glad you enjoy them!

[@DrMott]

Trip: Is that Flated thing worth it?

[@TripSmith]

That depends Dr..... If you need one to be able to easily take on and off and store easily, then yes, I would say it's worth it. For my personal use I'd like one to stay permanently as I'd like to build out the interior for camping. For that reason, I'm looking to replace the FLATED topper. If you'd like to chat more or are interested in a deal on mine, we can chat ;)

[@LG_Miller]

What kind of knife did you have with you?

[@TripSmith]

It was a Mora floating knife - amzn.to/3tF8nW4

[@LG_Miller]

@@TripSmith you need to setup an Amazon link, where you can make some money off van of things you show in your videos.

[@paulgearen7313]

Thermacell is your friend.

[@KIMVINSON]

How is the flated topper working for u

[@TripSmith]

I realized I wanted a more permanent topper so I bought a fiberglass. Trying to sell the Flated
