Solo Swamp Camping

I am taking my canoe down the the swamp to do some fishing. I carried my chuck box with all my cooking stuff and my Coleman stove to cook up a bowfin. it was a beautiful night to spend in a hammock watching the moonlight shine through the trees and listen to the owls hoot. #camping #canoeing #fishing

Thank you for bringing us along Justin.

[@richardt6277]

It looked like heaven to me brother. Nothing better than being in the woods away from everything and everyone.

[@SteveYankovich]

Looks like a relaxing peaceful time, fun times

[@TheGrover1968]

We'll call them red bellies and we'll like it.

[@TheHawkdriver55]

Man, I relate soooo much to your videos. I grew up in the mountains of NC and the woods and creeks were my escape as a kid. Great videos! no drama...no BS......just good content. Keep it coming.

[@decorahnord9902]

That was a fun fishing time ,and what a nice mess of fish ..enjoy..

[@tropifiori]

When Dad was out of work I would occasionally bring home a stringer full of blue gills. Mom would scale and gut them and poach them in tomato sauce ( she was Italian) with raisins and garlic.. They were good eating, but you had to watch the bones. Happy memories.

[@JamesBradshaw-so8cf]

I love going camping and fishing cooking your food up while your out doing that stuff

[@markself7193]

Awesome video! This brings me back to when I was a young man, we would camp and run Trotlines all night. Really enjoyed this video!

[@richardrogers567]

Man, really enjoy your camping videos. I use to camp like that. Thanks..

Jeery clowers comedian you could do comedy .every body loves to laugh.love the. Show.

[@guysoutside4004]

I've been singing "Put em' in the cooler, that's where they belong" all day at the office. I think my coworkers are ready for me to go home for the day. Great video and thank you!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Haha ill add that line to it

[@dianehuston1721]

I really enjoyed this video Justin. I laughed so hard when you were trying to get that 8 pounder in the boat. I thought for sure the canoe was going to tip over. That crennel was a nice fish.

[@michaelcraig5735]

This kind of fishing brings me back to my childhood days when I was on the creek below my house in the back pasture. I was only 10 years old, now days you can’t your kids do that because the way the world is. Keep your eyes on Jesus and keep your hook wet!

[@larryalexander4833]

👍✝️💪

[@kipbarrier5821]

Man I wish I was there!

[@phillipsrgeer9570]

That food looked so good, and I bout fell out of my chair laughing at you with that big fish loved that trip

[@russellcrawford4809]

We caught more Grinnell than we could eat so we froze the rest. A few days later we thawed them out and looked like milk was poured in the bag, they were mushy. But the ones we ate fresh were delicious 😊

[@povertyhilladventures7088]

Enjoyed this video very much! Thank you for posting it. Take care, "Poverty Hill" Brian

[@nancykrull2151]

Sure is pretty out there! Thanks for taking us along, loving every second of it.

[@larryreese6146]

Nothing like sleeping out. Had an uncle who lived in a small house but he had about 9 kids older than me. His water came from a deep well and the water was sweeter than soda pop and colder than winter when he pulled it up with a bucket to give me a drink on a hot July day. He made his own axe handles from the white wood of a hickory with a draw knife and broken glass and the only way you could tell they weren't store bought was the chop mark he left at the end of the handle. Theyd bend double and not break. Hot summer, the women slept in the house but the men and boys slept outside under the stars, their daybeds pulled up under every tree to keep the dew off. In a time before air conditioning became common, while everybody sweltered in the house, before morning theyd be pulling covers against a morning chill. Sometimes we"d go visiting early and catch'em all in bed. I always envied their night's quarters amongst the crickets, whippooreills, owls, and moon.

[@twohandsworking896]

Looks like a great time to be had there in that swamp -need your friend with ya -like this kind of video

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

Good trip and a nice mess of fish. Looks like the canoe is tracking better. I bet Roscoe was mad when you got home. Thanks for sharing the trip.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Good idea

[@jeanniebair4103]

Thank you

[@independentthinker8930]

A lot of times I don't build a fire camping, exspecially when it's so hot and humid, I use solar lights like you put in the yard, cheap, recharges themselves. I'm in Alabama,, neighbor! Yea, that thin camp cookware you have to cook slow on low heat or you have a mess

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Im used to cast iron so i do have some getting used to this but everything is good on the river bank , burnt or not

How do you stand the mosquitoes, especially at night? Sleep under a net ? Which "bug spray or bug dope" do you use? Thanks - good videos, reminds me of my Arkansas growing up. Keep it up!

The bug net on the hammock and i use off or Repel. What ever has a high deet content

And that my buddy is living life to its fullest !!!! How did that skeg work out on your canoe?

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

It did good. Helped me treck a lot straighter

[@Freedom2219]

See you had to put them feet's in 4 wheel drive turning that fish loose

[@martinmeltzer2696]

Hey Justin! My old computer decided it would be a good day to die a while ago... and it took a while for my IT Support Staff aka The Kids & The Grandkid to take the old one out, get the new one installed, get it up & running, then try to educate me on how it works! So... God Help You All... I'm back!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Man i wondered about you and Tommy. Hes had the same trouble last 2 weeks. Glad it was the pc and not you ole friend

[@martinmeltzer2696]

@@SpiritoftheOutdoors Me too! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I got to see you open the package... then "POOF"! I'm looking forward to getting caught back up and seeing what adventures await! Did the Tee Shirt fit okay? I wasn't sure ... so I made a WAG (Wild Ass Guess) Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! It feels great to be back online! I hope that Tommy will get to experience "Man Overcoming His Own Technology" as well!

[@Outdoors901]

You didn't say whether the skeg helped or not. Or maybe I missed it. Just curious.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yes it does help a lot

[@johnbennett7244]

Good video. What make and cliber were you carrying?
