Florida Flywheelers Antique Engine Club, February 2022 Show

This is my third visit to the Florida Flywheelers February show and the first time I have camped on site. This was a primitive camp for our Kodiak and I used the generator most of the time to keep the batteries charged and AC going. Because I had such a beautiful spot under the big oak trees, I was not able to take full advantage of the new solar system. But I have been monitoring that and it seems to be working great!
The Flywheelers show is a great place for anyone interested in old tractors engines, antiques, tractor pulls, and all things vintage. They have an old steam powered saw mill, historical village, huge swap meet, the famous Snow engine, tractor parades and so much more to list here. It's a fun event great for everyone and I really enjoyed my visit this year. I enjoyed camping out in the back field, cooking with mom and hanging out with a lot off my KZbin friends. I helped host a KZbin lunch one of the days and put on one of my Low Country Boils for the group! Turned out great too! Lots of fun was had by all!

Looks like a fun trip. Missed seeing Abby the two of you make such a nice couple

[@kheileebooth1243]

Love the video uncle Adam I love y’all

[@AbomAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bmwgsadv]

It's a great show but there are WAY to many golf carts and side by sides kicking up dust on Saturday. Everyone there was very friendly. I walked about 75 percent of it and I was done. It's a huge meet. Very enjoyable.

[@corydriver7634]

I see what you mean about the golf carts, even parking right up next to an exhibit where foot traffic couldn’t get in. I could see where they’d save a lot of time but annoying just the same.

[@tonyn3123]

Sorry I didn't get to shake hands this event. I was there on Friday and hotels were an issue to come back on Saturday. I was certainly not prepared for the size and attendance of this venue. I will be better prepared next time and hopefully run into you during a meet and greet. By the way, thus far, you have the best video of the grounds and attractions at the event. Thanks.

[@floridajeanp]

Oh he gave you a special spot! It's very nice back there.

[@lembriggs1075]

Very nice video! Wish I were there this week!

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Stakes look good

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Thanks Abom

[@PeteRondeau]

Great event! Definitely need to add at least one more day to my schedule for next time. Your video here showed me a bunch of stuff I missed.

[@georgiavictorsen1001]

Be careful camping under trees. We call them widow makers here in Australia.

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

Thanks to all

[@mbitrd]

Mr. Pete, Mr. Fenner, and Mr. Rucker all in the same place!

[@bettejogreenwell2406]

Am a member, go to each show. Bought one of the post vise that you showed, got a good deal at $85. Enjoyed your tour of show, especially your cooking portion. Thanks and good luck. John G.

[@floridajeanp]

Those steaks 🤤

[@horsefly5728]

Does your friend with all the machine shop tools have an online store? I loved hearing the popping Johnny's and the hit and miss engine ,great video.

[@bcbloc02]

Did you ever dream you would end up a line cook? 😎 Looks like an all around good time

[@charlesgause8224]

Never hurts to have a back up. Plan

[@patrickquirk-qz8ri]

Fun place to go, worst place to be a vendor, biggest bunch of cheapskates on earth.

[@silverbullet7434]

Great video , enjoyed it all. Shucks you could've spent hours taping the tables of tools for sale and id like it. But the shrimp had me drooling .Thanks

[@stantodd2769]

What memories you are making these last year's getting away from shop work for fellowship with friends and family. As the years go by those memories will be a treasure you will not be able to duplicate.

[@rvlifeafterretirement1498]

I see Charlie Coushane is just on the other side of the fence from you. Ford F-350 with the Chalet Truck camper. I follow his channel too.

[@JayKayKay7]

I use to not like the South, but after 72 years I find it has grown on me like the moss on an old magnolia tree. Good times. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@charlesgause8224]

Sorry we had to put Adam to work on repairing our gate. Really appreciate it .he didn't hesitate to step up and help

[@AbomAdventures]

I enjoyed lending a hand Chuck!

[@noemiseptier7101]

I would like to go to an event like that!!! Could you notify this type of event in advance? Please.

[@DaveSteen]

They have these all over the country, search for Antique Tractor Show, there might be 1 close to you

[@lokkie67theshed82]

Nice video Adam, I can feel the enjoyment true you... 👍🏻 😀

[@izzynutz2000]

Hopefully one of these years I can get up there I'd like to take my son looks like a really cool exposition

[@waynec3121]

That was amazing,

[@LimestoneCoastCustoms]

WoW! you're putting us Blokes to shame.......... you cook too!! 🤣 As much as I kinda miss Abby (she is a great part of your channel) I too have activities away from my wife & we combine them too if we can (or care too!) I love all the old stuff, the hit & misses, the saws etc. I especially love the 2 person large flywheel car, it's so unique! Thanks once again & I must get to try some of your awesome food one day (I've only been to the States the 1 time, the experience was awesome! ) Cheers!

[@jobos98]

Looked like an Amazing time. The food was also Heaven sent as well. Looked So Yummy. Great Watch.. 💯👍✌😊

[@glenngore6609]

What a fun and VERY interesting video, thank you very much for doing this. I go to a couple of John Deere 2-cylinder and steam tractor shows here in Oklahoma, where they have the same types of demos going on all day long. They are so much fun and I spend all day watching and visiting with folks. Well done, Adam!

[@ColKorn1965]

Somebody from the Flywheelers would bring a barrel of grapefruit to the Big Edd show in Newton, NC (years ago....Big Edd is no more 😢)

[@williegillie5712]

Boy ya did a great job on the video Adam and great music. A lot of happy faces and great food. Thanks for posting Adam.

[@RobertKohut]

Amazingly everyone seemed to have all their fingers and limbs.... LOL (scary machines)

[@shayhouk8582]

I did miss Abby, but the show was interesting and the shrimp looked delicious!

[@1979augistine]

Hell yeah my man

[@ShouldersMoondog549]

Cool show!! like to travel to it one day!! My late father in law was into the hit-n-miss engines. I have a couple of his now. My Brother in law and I are planning a trip to the Eastern shore show in August. Looking forward to going, haven't been there in 4 years! That is if gas isn't too much more then! This show is now on the radar to go to! Thanks for sharing!!

[@iaintshtnya]

Glad to see Keith doing well. I have so much respect for people that are willing to take the time and film themselves to teach others

[@holyhammerironworks2384]

Love it!

I really enjoyed that. Thanks Adam

Great Video however we miss Abbey. ☹

How did the solar work out under the trees?

[@justintime2277]

👍 From Cadillac Michigan

[@floridajeanp]

Oh gosh I miss those motor sounds.

[@floridajeanp]

The saw mill smells SO good.

[@twistedlv]

What grate is that on your little Weber? That thing is cool!

[@floridaflywheelersantiquee7578]

The shade not good for the solar

[@porkpie2884]

18:11 cuts through the average log in 3 months.

[@AbomAdventures]

What’s the purpose of coming here and leaving a smart mass comment about the demonstration of heritage equipment? There’s certainly a world full of people who appreciate getting to see it in operation.

[@imdeplorable2241]

That's what they had before the chainsaw was invented. I don't think the bandsaw had even been invented, yet. In defense of the owner, I don't think the blade had been sharpened, either.

[@porkpie2884]

@@AbomAdventures I've enjoyed looking at the old equipment you've showed us on this video Adam. The purpose of my comment was humour. 😃 It was a joke based upon the apparent slowness of the cut. Obviously not to be taken literally as I'm sure even the earliest of saws didn't take 3 months to cut a log ;)

[@porkpie2884]

@@imdeplorable2241 I know. I guessed a dull blade. I was just making a joke, but not everyone shares the same sense of humour. That's OK :)

[@deakindog7525]

maybe i missed seeing the corn and sausage in the boil

[@jdmccorful]

It looks like a great time! Enjoyed watching, thanks.

[@paulcopeland9035]

16:10....What the heck? Is that a genuine Deere body. What would be the reason for the enclosed wheels?

[@wally5733]

that's an orchard model , the fenders keep the branches out of the way

[@paulcopeland9035]

@@wally5733 ....Thanks! Makes sense.
