Florida FOSSILS, Fishing and Foraging | Shark Tooth Hunting and Swamp Exploration via Canoe!

What a fun day of adventuring in the middle of nowhere here in Florida! We set out to do a bit of exploration and fossil hunting, but grabbed the fishing poles on the way out the door which turned out to be an excellent decision! Tons of beautiful sunfish (redbreast sunfish, bluegill, etc) for dinner(s) and fertilizing our garden! After the fishing, we found a wonderful little patch of delicious wild blueberries (seriously incredible flavor) and then finally got into the part of the river/creek that exposes good fossils. Bri did some diving while I sifted and she found some incredible stuff (as always).

⭐️⭐️I love ❤ that you put in what the flowers & plants were. I’ve asked you before what the flowers & plants were. Thank you so much for the plant id!! FYI here in SK, Canada we also have blueberries 🫐. They grow them commercially in BC too.

[@SolidCoreBlack]

60fps would be a nice touch 😍😘

[@sephysaurus]

I really love your foraging videos :)

[@juliadagnall7103]

Is bree your wife Chris, the 2 of you are perfect together, I love watching your videos their so much fun and so educational ❤❤

[@CrimsonKnight813]

I love how big Bree smiles at your approval of her finds. You two are great.

[@tanyastamant]

I don't know if you guys are boyfriends/girlfriends or just friends, but it is SO nice to be with someone who shares your excitement of the same hobby,

[@tylerlackey8756]

They are a couple

[@jackburton6085]

Really appreciate the extra bits of info about the things you find, it’s both entertaining and educational. Your approach to the land, plants, and animals is appreciated as well, you’re respectful and positive and that’s awesome. It’s really a nice touch, thank you!

[@largent45]

You guys do so good with your foraging and growing your own veggies and catching your own fish, and you guys caught a lot of really nice fish. I just think it's awesome! And bri's shark tooth finds were awesome! I was waiting for another fishing and foraging video from you two, and it was awesome! Thanks you two!

[@brendabarnes6921]

I love it. The fishing and everything else ya’ll are doing😊 9:14 9:25 😊😊 Brenda

[@Michael85Patnaude]

I appreciate the depth of sustainability you're developing. Fossils are why I come here, the added bonus of learning the landscape is why I stay. Great job.

[@RickSmith-kp3sy]

Being a fish head I've got to nerd out a little and let you know that the orange fish y'all were catching were Redbreast, Lepomis auritus. The purple fish was a big male Bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus. Both are members of the sunfish family Centrarchidae. Beautiful fish. That tannic water really had their color popping!

[@danschmitz4699]

Like the brief garden segment, like where your going. More Bri please!

[@loganyardley]

I saw the notification for this vid pop up on my phone today and I knew it was going to be a good evening.

[@emmysue7275]

Just have to say again, I absolutely adore y’all and admire y’all. Y’all are amazing.

[@user-lu9fv4rf3x]

This video hit on all cylinders. Fossils, birds, foraging, fishing, plants and flowers, field knowledge and skills. Everything I enjoy!

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Love the variety of things you do in your videos! You 2 literally did all my favorite hobbies in this video! Love it! 😊

[@user-pd2gu6li2n]

I love the pics and when you color where it belongs on the creature. I also like when you show the edible plants and eat what you catch and pick.

[@charlesblack2523]

Those are some god eating fish. I love that you make your own fish emulsion from the scraps. 👍🏼

[@billanderson2217]

Exquisitely most excellently very Cool. Live Life Large Dream Big Live Bigger Kudos to each of you.

[@bavarianbeast1698]

I’ve been watching your videos for a month now me and my mom and dad also, good treasure hunting. Thank you for the good ideas.

[@melindahawk8540]

You should make tees with Paleo Chris and Bri with a megladon tooth on it.I would order one

[@tnydragon]

man i'm really loving this new format you guys are doing, i love the new foraging content but still keeping fossil hunting, keep up the good work guys!

[@AppalachianRocks]

We've got tons of wild blackberries where I live. They're delicious and I love snacking on them during hikes.

[@conniem7341]

Love what you two are doing and teaching! Great video! Thanks!

[@TerryWalbridge]

Hi guys, nice to be back with you two. Coming to Minnesota's North Shore again to rock hunt, love your old videos from here.

[@ZXLNT]

Chris/Bree, really love your videos. Well done, no extraneous baloney, and great scientific information and beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing..

[@jojowilson1955]

Fantastic video! I love that you identify the plants you encounter and add interesting facts about them as well as identifying the fossil finds! Thank you!!!

[@bavarianbeast1698]

I like your arrowhead videos can you please make some more of those❤❤❤

[@jennifarfar]

The wild blueberries were such a fun surprise! 💜🫐

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

Looks like fun.way to go guys. Y’all have so much fun. Fresh fish yummy.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Thanks for sharing the adventure, noble folks.

[@vlakslee]

I really like your new videos with all the fishing and plant collecting. And putting the names of the plants is great also. Great video.

[@scottmeacham1738]

Nice video! I like the way you added the fishing to your normal plant life recognition and some great archeological finds. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!

[@daveyingram8934]

Love these videos, love going on the adventure

[@OldHickoryTN]

It’s nice seeing y’all get some fishin in!

[@milkdud892]

I've been waiting for me videos!! Yay!!

[@johnurso5184]

Cool video, the fishing looked fun, loved seeing all the flora and fauna. Nice fossil teeth too !! Keep those videos coming !!

[@billyjohnson6355]

Nice video I love all the adventures you guys have awesome shark teeth and fossil finds nice team work on the canoe portages over the downed trees .

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@starwars_8036]

I love watching all your videos. I've been following your KZbin channel for a year or 2.. I never bothered to comment. Keep doing what your doing and keep em coming. :)

[@robbybobby6466]

Bri crushed the shark teeth. Your doing the right thing using everything. I thought you were going to take a swig of the fertilizer. Wow they really don’t let anything go to waste! 😮😂

[@shaunkolly7113]

Fossil hunting turns into a cooking hunt

[@truthinesssss]

Love the content. I like that you are interested in living things as well as the fossils.

[@geoWhite]

You two are very special people,take care and be safe.

[@BushcraftBlonde]

Looks like my neck of the woods! NE Florida! Awesome content guys! I love you both!!

[@gracewashburn8276]

Oh my goodness nice day of fission for them little pumpkin seeds and sunfish which I’m very delicious and those juvenile meg teeth in the white teeth. Awesome.

[@sharbean]

Just what I need to see today!

[@pammenou1799]

I love watching y'all forge from the land and water 🌊 I really missed seeing y'all for a while please 😂 try to post more often if possible y'all are great

[@StevelaFrench]

Reminds of creek floats here in Kansas except we spend time looking for native artifacts. Love your trips.

[@oscarcarmona3090]

Just awesome 👍

[@jaredjkline1438]

Love you guys. Your videos are great.

[@donnahumphriesallen5805]

I love to watch your videos. You guys are alot like me. Without the Fossil and the mineral & rock knowledge! I'm still learning about those. Keep em coming guys!!!✌️❤

[@jameswyatt2739]

What amazing finds.

[@JaciB123]

I love your videos so much! So much learning for us! Makes me want to go hunt the creeks for teeth.

[@mikenoel3522]

Amazing the difference between blueberries from Florida to Ontario. The wild blueberries are much smaller but huge in flavor. They also grow on tight bushes that grow close to the ground. Usually around granite outcrops.

[@drmoo1]

Lookin good Bri !

[@kuhn_rath]

I love the botanical asides! More please!

[@loriebolduc1076]

Hi! I liked the gardening, and fishing footage in addition to the fossil hunting. It made a more interesting video.

[@jimtucker1631]

I lived near Gaineville for many years, years ago. Great to see the same kinds of wild places I enjoyed so much in the 70s. Do you give names of places you explore? i have some very fond memories of the Millhopper for sharks' teeth and parties.

[@joselamers7964]

i learn a lot from you thank you so much❤😊

[@davidraines1380]

Chris and Bri great video. Bream fishing and wild edible stuff. In Texas and Louisiana we call them huckleberries

[@jeannettesmith5492]

Great video❤😊❤

[@Mrpalaeo]

Nice finds dude !

[@lionelpetit2377]

Magnifique vidéo !❤

[@oaktree3]

As always very exciting dives! And I'm laughing at the fish emulsion because my kid went to pick up small fishheads this weekend from the local butcher counter for the garden. They're hoping it will make a big difference...

[@brianwalker9185]

It's amazing ...thanks Chris for introducing us to Brie. Your knowledge is amazing but Brie seems to find the best stuff...nothing personal...lol

[@tonytony6945]

Finally! Was wondering if bree was going to post new vids. 👍🏼

[@josephbolen6761]

Bro threw that blue gill in the cooler like it was nothin 😎

[@bonesstones6584]

Excellent video, absolutely love the content! Would you consider making a video of your garden, what you're growing, how you deal with all the friggen pests, etc? I would like to hear more about your fish emulsion, how you made it.

[@BOAExplore]

Love your adventures. I found some nice big tooths in central florida.

[@runingblackbear]

Long handle loppers with a ring clip and rope tried to the canoe works wonders in the brush

[@tinacluff2793]

The ray plate is awesome.

[@Tacticalll]

Ahh I wish I could buy one of those Makos! They're awesome!

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

Aaargh, made me SO FREAKING HOMESICK FOR NW FLORIDA... I used to catch bream just like that; we called the yellow-bellied ones 'Shellcracker,' though I'm not sure what that big dark one was that Bri caught-- a Bluegill? Could be; definitely a panfish. Out here in AZ there are some bream and a lot of trout and catfish. Used to pick blueberries just like those on my grandmama's property as well, though I always brought a few redbug-bumps home as well. >_< I did love the foraging (though when you showed the beetle on your hand during it, what came out of my mouth was "do not eat the beetle!") That was some seriously dark water; I would've been freaking out over gators every ten seconds! But man, y'all got some beautiful fossils. I love the big ones but I have to admit that I'm fascinated by the Tiger Shark teeth-- they look so lethal! Brrrrr...

[@kevinhagle1394]

As I said Chris, I would love to take Bree n yourself on an Oregon adventure sometime.. Fishing, fossils and mushrooms… Let’s make it happen…..

[@darrellcantfindtreasure5205]

Paleobree is the best!

[@8LightLover8]

Great vid you guys. Look at them tannins in that dark water and how fat them fish are eating on bugs. And berries. Nice vid as always.

[@cheltinker7709]

That owl was awesome loved the canoe adventure cool video. Would love a longer video of you doing this kind of adventure and hunt x

[@PaleoCris]

I’d be open to filming some very long adventures similar to this, possibly with camping over multiple days. Maybe 1 or 1.5 hour videos. I always worry people would get bored, but it would be a fun video to make and share.

[@cheltinker7709]

That would be awesome and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people who feel the same. Even your life style being an eco fan myself. Bit I def think we'd all enjoy it. I wish wild Kyle would do longer ones to. It's so fascinating to watch. A big hi from the uk and best of luck with the future of your channel you make a great couple x

[@Dani_SB]

🦈Fascinating! We just moved from Venice to New Smyrna Beach. Used to dive all the time for meg teeth years ago before they became harder to find. Other than our 6-inch woolly mammoth tooth (hard to miss that)... I wonder how many other fossil treasures we swam by. Going to Rock Springs in Apopka this week. Never tried hunting in natural springs.

[@wynja77]

Our blueberries (blåbär) here in Sweden grow on very, very low plants, between ankle-and knee height and are quite small. Seeing american blueberries growing on practical TREES was very cool! :)

[@philwolfe3121]

Bri needs her own show!

[@Greyespichu]

miss you two! 😊

[@svwhippoorwill3599]

Nice adventure. I went "spelunking" in Citrus Wildlife Mgmt Area last month. Nothing like Kentucky caves, but still fun.

[@jamesaolsen1196]

Nice!

[@marierowe5969]

Well done briexxxx

[@staceysaunders6857]

Awesome/fun video! Where in FL are yall? Didn't know FL had wild blueberries lol

[@methodicl2673]

You guys are killing me by being at such a great spot and just searching the surface. I would be digging down as far as a shovel could reach! My son and I were at a spot that had been picked to death so we decided to dig down and at about five feet we found our biggest Meg.

[@robertalderman1297]

Great vibe !

[@JerryR1776]

Kyles snail shell was cool

[@janvafa9959]

Oh you must give us a tour of your garden!!!

[@davinarathbun2693]

In Alaska that thorny plant is called devils club, I believe.

[@andrewhorwood1058]

Great variety in this video. I'm always amazed how you two can identify every tooth and bone by subtle differences. But what kind of fish were they? Wild blueberries are also native to most of Canada but are mostly a low growing species. Very sweet, delicious in fall.

[@lauriepolden6594]

I have a friend that looks for fossils on Crystal River. He finds all kinds of them the big ones

[@mackie_p]

Had no idea you both fished! Another reason to subscribe

[@kriscan6231]

April is the best perch fishing they are in spawn and defend their beds fiercely

[@mirkatu3249]

Nice teeth! Love your attitude about sustainability and no waste! :-)
