Camping in a Florida swamp.

[@centralbears3010]

cool cats and campers. you guys are working good together.

[@OverlandFlorida]

These videos are so old haha. Thanks for watching

[@raymondclark1785]

You need to add a folding bow saw to your kit. I carry one in my rig and I don't even drive in the swamps. That tree could have been your firewood.

[@OverlandFlorida]

That’s a good idea.

[@hikewithmike4673]

A cold front went thru there when I was camping a huge pine tree fell across the fire road a spent a couple of hours cutting it up with a small hand saw to get my way out of the forest that said it was a wonderful night in the swamp my favorite place to be!

[@OverlandFlorida]

I love that site. Ron and I camped through a tornado. The weather was fine and calm. Then someone got a weather alert and sure enough the severe storm must have missed us by a 1/4 mile. Luckily it only lasted a few minutes. But that’s still my go to place to camp. Especially with the owls.

[@hikewithmike4673]

@@OverlandFlorida right on love that forest and the Green Swamp!

[@rubiconwhiskey7135]

Seriously you don’t have a folding saw or hatchet to cut tree fall out of the way. Make a Lowes or Home Depot run and get one or both and throw them in the recovery box. Oh and really neat camp site. Damn mosquitoes always ruin a good time.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Yes we had one. But it was faster and easier to drag it out of the way. It was bigger than you think.

[@FSU-xn8em]

I saw a Sasquatch in that area. I gave him some beef jerky.

[@OverlandFlorida]

You always have to keep beef jerky on you when you camp.

[@centralbears3010]

I watched it again. you guys haave it going on. hope you made it through milton ok.

[@OverlandFlorida]

We did ok, thanks for asking.

[@jerryhack5192]

Get you a couple of thermocell backpackers and no more bugs! We live on a swamp here in NCF and I swear by them!! Thanks for the video!!!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks for watching! Ron always has those. But unfortunately we were out of the fuel for them.

[@jerryhack5192]

@@OverlandFlorida That's why you get the backpacker with the larger fuel tanks. You get about 120 hours out of a large isobutane canister.

[@scottbrinkley9779]

Limb risers in Florida work really good

[@OverlandFlorida]

They actually do. I had them on my old jeep.

[@juanpinto5743]

Now you can also make a video for what works and what doesn’t work when dealing with Florida bugs. What kind of bug spray do you normally use?

[@OverlandFlorida]

I try not to use anything. If I do, I use OFF brand.

[@NavaDownSouth]

Murphy's Naturals Lemon Eucalyptus Oil is natural decent one. I tend to spray it at the airborne yellow flies attacking my face.

[@Renigade16]

I figured y'all would use them Glocks for the mosquitoes. Lord knows I've been tempted to myself lol

[@captgregbrown5773]

Get you a Thermo-Cell they work, I live in the Key’s and I used to traverse the Everglades as a guide I can tell you about bugs!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Those do work well, Ron uses those.

[@kenmcdougal97]

Lol only thing I hate about camping is bugs Great video . Nice to see you on the trail

[@OverlandFlorida]

You and me both! Especially when bug spray has no effect.

[@outdoororiginal4364]

One word ... thermacell !!

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thank you!

[@Rad21967]

Went and bought one of those Brian lights you use love it great video

[@OverlandFlorida]

I love those lights too!

[@davidwhidden3134]

I'm lucky enough to have grown up hunting and fishing in the Everglades back in the sixties and early seventies that's back when Alligator Alley and 41 or two lane roads I'm 64 now and must say Florida has changed a lot and not all for the good you city boys kill me trying to camp in the woods

[@paulspeakman551]

I camped there in early Feb. of this year and it was awesome except for the terrible wind storm one night I was expecting to knock a tree over on me, lol. Had the campground all to myself for three nights and two days. I put my kayak in there and there are trees across the river in both directions not far away. I had another reservation to go back in late March and then COVID caused the shutdown. I'll be back sometime this fall/winter/spring but no summer camping for me, I worked out in the Florida bugs and heat for 30 years, don't need that nonsense when I'm camping, lol.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Thanks Paul. I love this little spot on the river. We always see so much wildlife here. Hopefully winter doesn't skip us this year and we have a nice cool winter to do some camping.

[@deanduggar8001]

What campground is this looks awesome...keep the great videos coming

[@chucksmith5002]

A cool looking place

[@davidtadlock2238]

Have you tried using a thermocell or 2 when you set up camp? They do work wonders for mosquitoes and sand gnats. I use them early bow season, and spring turkey hunting in the FL swamp when the mosquitoes are horrible and they do a great job

[@OverlandFlorida]

Yes, Ron has those. They actually to work pretty well.

[@Nativeflpropertysolutions727]

I just got back from camping with power and it was still miserable. Great looking spot!

[@OverlandFlorida]

We just had a site all weekened in the keys with power. It wasn't that bad. But had AC and a celing fan in the tent lol.

@@OverlandFlorida heard that! Y’all should make your way up to GA this time of year. This weekend is supposed to be real nice. We’re breaking out the Runaway & T4R to do some camping ourselves. Finally no rain.

[@OverlandFlorida]

I was in GA, NC, Ten and SC for 3 weeks in Sept.

[@AtwoodThreads]

Great stuff man, sucks that the trip was less than enjoyable but you win some loose some I guess lol. I am waiting for you to say you havent seen any gators then have one go by in the background LOL

I was half expecting the same thing lol

[@Al.Venture]

Looking forward to it bud!

[@diegoforest]

No chainsaw or axe but sidearms says it all.

[@garyausher]

I used to enjoy spending the weekends under a dirty 4X4 pounding out u-joints, changing brake pads & gear oil and repacking wheel bearings. Not as fun anymore, I try to avoid the deep water crossings. Withlacoochee River is very nice. I'll be there this winter. Hopefully not as wet.

[@OverlandFlorida]

Hopefully it's a dry winter! I used to take my jeeps through those swamps all the time. Thanks for watching.

[@floridaman2705]

Great video. 👍🏻 Looking forward to the day trip videos.

Me too. Going back to film the trail I broke my snorkel on.

Oh I see a gun ahhhhhh I'm triggered and now I see my safe space. Joking I'm joking, this is my first video of yours and I think it's great. I lived and camped all over Florida and I'm pretty sure I've camped there. Subscribed and liked Thanks

[@OverlandFlorida]

Hey! Thanks for watching, I've camped in most places around Florida minus the panhandle. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@fredlentz1411]

Took my son to Huguenot to camp overnight last month. Everything was great until the wind died down, then the gnats came out. Hit my son really bad, but we were both miserable. Bugs will ruin a good campout!

[@OverlandFlorida]

You got that right. It's easy to prepare for the heat or cold. Hard to prepare for the bugs.

Thank you!

[@frankdango3211]

Any update on the bluetti?

[@OverlandFlorida]

Do not buy the version I have. The 12v socket is not regulated. So you won't get a constant 12v for the life of the battery. Meaning your device will shut off at like 60% battery because the power will drop below 12v. They corrected this problem and have a regulated plug. Now you will get a constant 12v all the way until the battery hits 0.

Before Andrew, we would go 30 miles in the swamp. Before cell phones, before GPS.. swamp buggies would roll from Alligator Alley. This is fancy camping. Natives shouldn’t need a damn permit to go down there.

So to camp within the state forest there is no need for reservations or permits, anyone is free to car camp anywhere?

You can not freely camp in state forests. You need a free online permit to get a gate code to camp in designated areas.
