Night-hiking, in the rain, in a swamp, with roaches, saucer-sized spiders, gators and snake/salamander things that play dead. Y'all have really upped the ante this time! I am getting more fascinated with each video.

I have been following thru hikers on the Florida Trail since January and your videos show the reality of Florida terrain and the diversity of wildlife. So many hikers just push forward or it's all about their misery complaining every step of the way. Or focused just on their narrow perspective just barely acknowledging beautiful or even scary things right in front of them. Yes, it's a difficult journey but your humor (those cows and that dung Beetle LOL) and humane view of things makes your videos the best of the best. Looking forward to the next videos on down the trail.

Starvation Slough was named such because it's where the US military force marched the Indians after taking their land. The Indians ended up there and didn't have food and many of them starved to death. There is also an area called Hungry Land, named after a different but similar site of genocide.

Dixie, this is why I enjoy your hiking videos more than any others I have found. You take the time to show the wildlife. Not just quick passing shots, but really show it. And you show the little guys (spiders, insects, other tiny creatures) that I really don't think a lot of hikers even notice. Thanks for bringing everything that lives along your trails into view. Keep it up!

The miles you put in are daunting enough but the wildlife in Florida could be a deal-breaker. I believe John Muir hiked all the way to Florida but ended up preferring the mountains and the cold... I might be inclined to agree with him. I also agree with you in that choosing one location over another is like having to pick one child over the other... like impossible!
