[@dennisjackson6693]

hey Robert we usually don't leave a lot of comments but so glad that everything is ok at the camp and that you all are safe and thanks for sharing

[@jorgef8597]

Great video. You showed more than most TV reporters. Glad to see the damage was minimum.

[@LAP1050]

Robert, all things considered, Pelicamp did pretty well. Amazing to see the carport survived and protected MiniTini. Be careful. Lou from 305 👍

[@glendasharp5057]

I wondered how Pelicamp fared. Thank you for sharing so quickly.

[@elmandalorian6671]

In the areas where you lost a tree 🌳 and you want to plant a replacement I would plant magnolias...the fact that mini Tini and it's carport survived is a miracle. Specially the well pump system is a big plus!

[@faithrada]

So sorry for all the tree damage.. of course, over all you were fortunate that it wasn't worse. You'll be busy with clean up for a while. But hey ... it's Florida.. things will grow. 👍 The main thing is you guys are SAFE. 🙏 plus.. look at all that beautiful fire wood! Stay Strong my friend.. grab an IPA and PACE yourselves. 🍺 🍕 Yes a clean up party would be awesome.😅

[@claramullen]

Robert it is amazing you didn't have some serious damage at the camp in time you will get things in order. Take care

[@flyguy437]

With regards to a second home..."Mo money, mo problems..." thanks for taking us along...

[@derick-smith]

That pine tree looks frozen in terror! So sorry for the loss of your favorite oak. While it will never be like it was, it's still a special place.

[@colty7764]

I would wait a few months to do serious cleanup.. the scammers will have left by then and you will find more cleanup crews available and a much more reasonable price (supply/demand)

[@CindyGer]

Robert, so sorry about all the trees you lost. It is a blessing that minitini came through with no damage. You will have to replace some trees for sure.

[@dcolemanbigbee6975]

I think magnolia trees can take storms undaunted. Azaleas love pine trees acidic soils and weather storms. Don’t require maintenance and grow huge. You can spread them by layering or just let them alone. You lived in Cuba. You know what survives.

[@SlowTransitTimes]

Hi Robert, really sorry about all the damage. You are remaining optimistic. I hope you get the help you need from the community to clean up the damage. Best of luck to you and Illy.

[@EricCuellarDesignandFilm]

I think we just witnessed the ultimate ad for the builder of that car port. :D But in all seriousness, glad to hear there wasn't any major damage. It's better to have to clean up rather than rebuild.

[@SaltyReflections]

HI Robert, thanks for taking the time to share a video of some of the destruction Idalia left behind in Florida.

[@mandysimmons2769]

Poor Pelicamp. My husband kept asking me how you made it through. I was scared for us too we have some serious pines swaying in the woods behind us. I prayed alot. I've got friends going down to Perry to help out. I can't go ( people caring right now ) but I loaded up as much as I could waters and non-perishables and all my baby wipes. Quite a few homes were destroyed. Blessings and thoughts to all.

[@Thomas-sp1pp]

IT IS WHAT IT IS....ROBERT, yes you were fortunate to not have sustained more damage, your attitude and resolve are commendable which you always seem to project, one reason I so enjoy you and your channel. You are a positive inspiration and source of encouragement. I will send prayers and so look forward to your videos. God bless you...and see you on the road again!

[@chrisbecket7556]

Your pine tree has the "hurricane lean". Glad the rest survived!

[@kathrynb4683]

I'd be happy to help over the winter. I snowbird and explore from FL to TX but would love to help just for the stay. I cut wood constantly living in the woods here in NY. 😊

[@djsi38t]

Firewood for years!Thats good stuff.Great job covering it all,thanks Rob.

[@louise3993]

I’m still can’t believe mini tinnie survived and came through the storm. What surprises me more is the car port cover. Take your time cleaning you’ll get it back in shape eventually.

[@bookooc5605]

When I heard it was headed for Perry, I immediatley thought of you. Glad to hear it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Amazed that carport thing didn't blow away!

[@BootUpwithBaysharp]

1:18 September 3rd, not August. Unless I accidentally clicked on “Time Traveling Robert”

[@SerPurple51]

I think he can be forgiven after being on the road for months, only being home for a short time & hitting the road again.

[@TravelingRobert]

It's September already? 😱

[@conork9060]

Idalia really was a beast, Perry was directly hit, and the storm surge was unbelievable

[@mvoorheis]

Hope that you were able save some of that wood (especially the oak), it will make great bonfire or camp wood! Glad the damage wasn't worse. 🙂

[@zerxilk8169]

We are glad you are safe.

[@paulmatovich7941]

Thank you for the update. Looks better than we thought. Stay safe out there.

[@storeytwinb]

We're praying for you to get the help you need 🙏

[@seekingjoynow1722]

Glad it was not worse. I can see you are a little discouraged. A clean up party sounds like a good idea. Many hands make easy work.

[@averagecampers]

We were so very blessed to be spared in this hurricane. When you return for a longer stay, we will organize a campfire cleanup party 😮

[@lauragarmon6969]

It’s amazing how well your camp survived. It will be a beast to clean up but your main structure has survived.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

It's why I would never live in Florida ...plus the humidity and flatness

[@dcolemanbigbee6975]

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN Good, stay in Denver, it’s beautiful! Floridians know hurricanes and the aftermath. Where Pelicamp is located the land has elevation near Tallahassee. Florida Caverns are in Marianna. Robert loves Pelicamp enough to buy acreage. He travels everywhere. You should watch his videos. Amazing adventurer!!

[@brandonmcdaniel930]

Dang I hate your campground got hit but I'm glad you didn't get to much damage especially mini 1!!! That could've been alot worse for sure. Definitely some firewood tho. Safe travels!

[@linnshock64]

Thank you for sharing, Glad to see the trailer survived.

[@cheryldressback816]

Very glad there wasn't worse damage. Prayers you can get things back together soon.

[@deenalemon66]

Hello Robert and Illy, one good thing is the trees that are left start getting bigger! I saw what happens as we live a few miles from Katrina ground zero. I’m amazed at how the little cottages on stilts survived! A mulcher or a wood chipper would be a good piece of equipment to rent .

[@tracyjohnstoncaruso6065]

Thanks for the update! So glad the damage was minor. You'll have to stock up on some marshmallows when you use up that firewood! 🔥

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Hello from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park 🌄🏞️...I used to live in Boca Raton...so I get it completely..Come visit Gatlinburg soon...

[@jimp.7286]

Maybe the curved roof and open sides of the car port also helped save it? Wind went right through it? Impressive construction though. Things could have been worse - sorry you lost trees. At least you two are safe. Maybe some of the fallen trees can be re-purposed into something like another structure or rustic furniture, gazebo? Just pondering out loud. Cheers. 👍

[@susanl4219]

Very glad it wasn’t worse and Minitini and the carport survived. Trees will grow back although slowly. We only lost three trees and a fence they fell on. (Live Oak, FL)

[@knotsyourdaddy8088]

God is good!!!

[@matt76cj]

So glad Pelicamp is for the most part intact and salvageable. Let us know when you plan a clean up weekend.

[@TerryB751]

Best of luck in the cleanup Robert. It looks like it's going to be a lot of work but it's good that it's not worse. Take care.

[@joycemosakowski3648]

Glad you survived the hurricane. That's a great idea to have a clean up party!

[@Chips2323]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the update, I live in Cape Coral we are still working with contractor on repairing/replace damage from IAN, almost a year, but just a few things left and all will be done, YES you will have lots and lots of fire wood, take care and be safe see you on the road again.

[@normabasanese7353]

Glad to see the damage was minimal at Pelicamp.

[@SerPurple51]

Sad to see so many destroyed trees but very good news that Minitini wasn't harmed! You can replant some trees when you get it all cleared out. They sell decent sized trees and you can put them where you want (preferably away from Minitini)

[@garyskye5594]

It's still a beautiful spot you have there.

[@mariorodriguez8729]

Robert is Beatriz from Miami Springs. Glad that the trailer is fine and the roof. Also the beach town look pretty good, thank God. Hope you can get it clean up soon, best wishes.😊

[@geralddewitt9804]

You may want to consider planting red cedars. They are native to that area. They grow fast and they shape themselves.

[@ameliamartinez4431]

Hi Robert ,thank God u and family r ok, considering all Pelicamp made it ok it could of been worse. This give u a chance to start all over and work to make better and more secure for the future God Bless

[@csflmich2239]

Still beautiful, glad it wasn't worse. Thanks as always!

[@brendawhisenhunt8444]

I can't believe the lawnmower is still in the shed and the contents are still in the same place.. id wait for cooler weather too .. Thank you for showing us. It will be back to normal soon..

[@LeslinAdventures]

Thank god it wasn’t that bad. And mini tini and the carport still standing. If you need help , we would love to volunteer

[@brandywilliams6106]

Thank you for this, I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you feared. You made a lot of progress!

[@waynehogue2499]

Robert, you should have a meet and greet in Perry and invite all to bring their chain saws! But you would probably have too many people showing up! Sorry for the tree damage.

[@HeathenofthePineyWoods]

Those trees have seen some things. I’ve fallen behind, but I’m catching up slowly. So glad minitini is okay. Pelicamp will grow back better than ever.

[@bobbrown6281]

You should know you can't beat Mother Nature. i lived in the Florida Keys for four years in Key Largo and went through two big Hurricane's in the late seventies so i know what it can be like. It will all grow back in time. GOD SPEED.

[@amewborn21]

Omg!!! We just passed you and waved on 75 N in south GA!! We have always enjoyed your videos! 😊

[@lindareiner3856]

Robert we’re live in the Panhandle. Let us know if you have a clean up weekend and would like to have some help. We lived through Hurricane Michael.

[@C-TOS]

The loss of life due to this storm was small but still painful like any other disaster. Thankfully damage can be fixed with patience and lots of work.

[@ivarreknahs]

Greetings and sympathy from Bangalore,India.Thank God the damage to your camp was not extensive.All the best Robert and hope everything will be back to normal.God bless.

[@peldridge2627]

I am really surprised to see how well the canopy survived over old Mini-Tinnie! Sorry about all the trees down but maybe you can sell it as firewood to recoup some of your cleanup expenses. Thanks for showing us your Pelicamp, Robert. Best wishes to you and Illy.

[@juanvazquezjr1969]

Glad most of the property made it through. My family owns a local restaurant in Perry and damage was minimal, just a lot of trees down and some clean up around the place. If you need help with clean up in the Fall when you get back, I would be happy to assist.

[@CasitaRvLife]

Thanks for the video. Yes I will be there in November

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

Your a testament to the old adage hard work pays off. Great jobs in so many ways, Robert. So happy for your success with your channel. You've come a long way, man. :D Oh, be careful with your chainsaw. My buddy almost cut his leg off with one. Get pro's to help.

[@Nick87899]

Proper safety gear, helmet, face shield ear protection Kevlar overalls hood boots & make sure you use a spotter and never cut alone, you need someone to bear in earshot if you get hurt

[@VolcanoTimeLapse]

110% agreed!@@Nick87899

[@jim19714]

I was thinking of your camp Robert. It’s like you said it will leave its mark but part of the story as well. Take care.

[@Thunderbyrd.]

Sorry about the damage, it looks like a lot of work but it looks totally repairable, it's a beautiful place, your property and surrounding area. I'd use the oak for firewood, stools for the fire pit, maybe take a slice of oak and make a memorial or something to remember this time with the date on it, make a clock, little things like. I would like being able to go to the pharmacy and pick up some ammo at the same time (Murica lol) Good Luck I hope I get to see your progress, take care brother.

[@sneil560]

Glad to see Pelicamp survived pretty well. My wife's cousin lives on the beach at Shell Beach, So. of Crawfordville and then only received very minor damage; not like years ago when the house blew away!

[@garymay3826]

All in all I would say you were pretty lucky. No structural damage. Also in Big Timber Montana there is a huge gas station that has a liquor store, fishing gear, hunting supplies, guns and ammo, a convenience store, and has a restaurant. Now that’s full service if you ask me. 😂😂

[@DG_ontheroad]

Robert, it's good that nothing big happened, organize a meeting and we'll help you clean everything. Free of course, we just need power and a sewer for the rv.DG from Fort Lauderdale Florida

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Good positive attitude.

[@jayblanton745]

I'm so glad everything fared relatively well over that way! Idalia was still a category 2 when it passed over lowndes county, and it was the strongest storm on record for both Valdosta and Lowndes County. A LOT of people here lost their homes or had very significant roof damage. Of course we don't have the stronger building codes here that you see on the coast. I was surprised to see so many homes in Keaton Beach come out unscathed! I wonder how Cedar Key fared, I haven't seen much of anything on it!

[@deniseonthemove]

Wow for a cat 3 faired well than expected

[@faithrada]

I remember the construction for the Fly Over into the Palm Beach airport. It took SO LOng but once done.. WOW. What a difference! Hang in there! 😅

[@LibreLlaves]

Pelicamp was in our thoughts the entire time we were watching the storm coverage.

[@michaelrains2268]

Trees 🌳 🌲 can and will be replanted, and your campground will be better than ever. Sorry this happened, but I'm glad it wasn't worse . Love the channel!

[@user-ik4hs8td1y]

Some say your neighboring county, Madison, was hit harder than Taylor county, with the exception of the storm surge. I'm from Madison with many friends and relatives still there, some without power 7 days later. Pelicamp will rebound beautifully, best wishes Robert.

[@johnthomson5730]

The tree damage in your area was expected because it has not experienced a strong storm like Idalia. Amazing that you had no structural damage that I could see from the video. Nature will take care of the damage, but it takes time. Still a cool place!

[@robertrosanelli444]

Glad your loss was minimal. Trees fall over. You live in a hurricane area, you know that, and this will not be the last one you have to deal with, likely not even this year. Look at the bright side. More firewood.

[@edrandorable]

You are fortunate there is little damage except for the trees. I felt it too in the panhandle. Tie a rope to your favorite pine tree and truck and 13:48 stand it back up straight.

[@theweakestlink2278]

Could've been far worse than it was. Glad to see your RV survived.

[@SARISS80]

Glad that everything was ok. Valdosta Georgia got hit the hardest. Everyone just now got power. The Internet is down in some area Trees and power lines are still laying in the road.

[@bobbrown6281]

When you rebuild your shed put it on a concert base this time if you can. That way you can bolt the walls to the pad of the floor.

[@cammyhaugen5051]

Your Pine tree should be named Idalia and a sign saying it screamed, 'Idalia' make me fall over!, during the storm.😉 hoping you get some help with the big stuff!

[@vidalhappyhappy6573]

Gracias a Dios que no fue mucho pero vas a tener bastante Leña para el invierno

[@donsullivan8803]

Hey Robert sorry for your tree loss. Some insurance will pay for trees. Won't hurt to look. I see a bounce back!

[@dennisdaly1957]

I'm glad your damage was as minor as it seemed. You're right trees will grow back and you suffered quite a bit less than others. BUT look at the bright side, You have a ton of firewood now that you can cut up , stack and use. each time you a piece of that wood in your fire pit in the future you'll know and think back of how you came by it.. Thank goodness it was just superficial damage and no one wo one hurt.

[@josephregallis3394]

Sorry for your damage Robert, but it looks like you will be OK. I am looking at land now here in Florida and Hurricanes are always a threat to us unfortunately. I live in Port St. Lucie and we are always trying to make our house stronger in case of storms and I have to improve our cooling here. Electricity is getting too expensive!

[@olivierdevries01]

Robert - All things considered, Pelicamp came out pretty good. And all those trees probably protected Minitini 1. Eventhough a lot of them fell down. As for all those trees that fell down. Instead of using them for firewood, how about using them to build a log house/cabin? Just a thought.

[@JimmyFloridatube]

I can come over in November to help with the clean-up. My place in Fort White did OK, just a couple of dead pines came down and lots of small limbs. Our power was out for three days. We have a generator back-up for the well and the mobile home, so other than the $40 a day for generator gas we did OK. Give us a holler in November. I am 70, but I am use to all this kind of work. My son is 36 and said he would come to if it is on a weekend when he is off work. I have an 80v Greenworks chainsaw now and I am sold on the battery electric. My mower is a Greenworks battery electric and they are both very powerful. I sold my gas mower and chainsaw and will never go back.

[@debwill3992]

Typical of the scammers to overcharge. We had trees here in TX that needed to come down after Ike but thankfully we could wait for a bit. A lot of folks just want the mess cleaned up ASAP and so they pay too much and get ripped off. Good that it’s not your full time home and you can give it a while. Glad things weren’t too bad.

[@jimconnor8274]

You were real lucky, clean up takes a lot of work. I was at My sister's place in Homestead the day after Andrew hit. It was hard to believe how dangerous the twisted limbs were! A professional would be the smart choice. Stay safe!

[@lois-marietodd1502]

Mulch up all the branches and the sawdust from the branches will keep the weeds down. You will be surprised how much tidier the place looks with the branches sorted.

[@ednakrueger8381]

Some folks have taken the trees that have only a tree stomp sticking out of ground and had carved a sculpture out of the damaged tree. It’s a thought! so sorry you have a mess but looks like you avoided the worse part of the storm.

[@dcolemanbigbee6975]

I’m shocked carport survived and yet the shed blew up. Even “mini-tini” was undisturbed. Check the window sealants/gaskets on her. She may need some tlc after that beating she bravely overcame. Winnebago may want to come in and check her out professionally for some promotional marketing that could provide endorsement opportunities for you. Also, whoever made that carport should hear your experience. Amazing!!

[@gabrielsholisticcare]

You got the dates off! I think that you meant to type, September and not August! I glad you camp wasn’t as bad as you thought!

[@highland-scott902]

Hi Robert, I'm glad that the damage wasn't worse..I messaged Rob & Trish Hicks before the storm, glad they got out and headed west.. I'm near Ocala and have my GMC motorhome and cleanup equipment..let me know about your cleanup party..interested..

[@doreenmcleod8444]

Its a lot of clean up and those oak logs weigh a lot. But amazingly your chain saw still works. Is the lawnmower salvageable? Glad to hear you got the power back on and the well is working. You have a good attitude and yes the trees will grow back. We made it through back to back hurricanes Jeanne and Frances Cat 3 storms in 2004 and it was amazing how fast things got back to normal although we needed a new roof and we were sooo happy to see the power trucks after two weeks with no power. One step at a time on the cleanup. Wishing you and Ily all the best and safe travels.

[@auroranite]

You need a bigger chain saw😊 Bit by bit in the Fall cooler temps. It will get cleaned up.

[@jreedlbny]

Hello Robert, ughhhh sorry what your dealing with... however i think you made out well all things considering .

[@hotsoup1001]

Your pine-tree should be able to be up righted with a some strategically placed temporary support. Not sure if it will correct itself.
