Why There Are No Homeless People Living In The Florida Everglades

Florida

[@markcraven8386]

There are no drugs, nothing to shoplift, no one to jack up, no where to squat.

[@lissetcarreno1167]

lol

[@jared9962]

I agree with all of your points. Another reason the homeless wouldn't be in the Everglades is they wouldn't have any food giveaways or free meals. No big towns near the Everglades. Showering would be so difficult.

[@SharonStar62]

@@jared9962 the people that do live out n the Everglades get very well taken care of they have a nice lil set up ! Sell beautiful home made jewelry etc.. plenty of free meals etc.. the awesome everything shop store and camp ground cook outs always takes care of their own, plenty of nice clean showers etc!! a lady with the one and only pink airboat rides in and collects, receives, all needs for the people ☺️☺️☺️

[@artrogue4150]

You literally forgot The Skunk Ape and the Super Cubano !

[@camdudzinski5206]

When you mentioned living on a mangrove shell mound. I immediately was reminded of the book Totch: A Life in the Everglades. A Gladesman and a drug smuggler. He lived in the mangrove islands of the Everglades. For most of his life off of subsistence fishing and trade pelts and skins. It is a really good read if you are interested in the people who have lived in the Everglades. Another book I recommend is Gladesmen: Gator Hunters, Moonshiners, and Skiffers. Glenn Simmons another Gladesman who lived in Homestead and Flamingo Florida in early 20th century.

[@user-ml6el1mt7s]

Totch Brown! I live on Chokoloskee Island now. His kin are still living here.

[@frankiemionetto]

Thank you Jose I'm now convinced and will not hide out in the Everglades!

[@el-Cu9432]

You'll find out. I used to go to the Glades with my dad hunting when we first came from Cuba decades ago. It's worse than you think Good luck though.

[@el-Cu9432]

Great video. It brought back memories for me when i used to go hunting for food with my dad..We moved away from South Florida a long time ago so its great to see it again virtually. I remember very well the mosquitos though..I called them zunzuncitos because they were literally like small birds.

[@TheHemiphil81]

You diffently need a mosquito net hat that covers your head and face when you are in mosquito infested areas.

[@user-fd9pt3ph5o]

How did the Seminole do it?

[@robbertram3310]

THIS is an excellent question.

[@user-vr3mr5eu7y]

​@@robbertram3310They mand up. They sum hardened folk

[@timmySmith-jl8jx]

God helped them since they were being chased by the U.S. military to be killed (Indian Removal Act)

[@cindylong624]

They built chicksee shelters that were above ground, with palm fronds roofs and sides. They move around to better areas, they also hunted,fished, and trapped. Bartered for whatever they needed

[@Theinformedcitizen777]

Thank you Jose for taking the trouble to explore and document the everglades.

[@wapomiami6941]

The only reason that the Everglades has no homeless people is because there is no resources out there. Why would a homeless person be in the middle of nowhere where they can’t find no food just stop and think about that. It’s not the animal is not the environment it’s there is no resources There barely any stores there’s nobody to panhandle they’re going to ask the alligators for money or are they going to eat the bears? That’s the only reason there is no homeless people in the Everglades no resources to survive. It’s not the environment for the elements.

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

ITS BOTH REALLY

[@xmarksthespotmarksmanship2730]

The information is off although presented in a professional and educated way.

[@jeffbrinkerhoff5121]

Under a riotous pink, blue, purple sunset In the 80s I was standing on a wooden walkway bridge in the Everglades looked down to see a 12 ft black gator gliding under my feet only to look up to see the 1st stage detach and the 2nd stage of a rocket launch .. Moved here a year later.

Honestly..I think jose would be the best social studies teacher ever..and i would bet the kids would love his teaching style.

[@peacefulscrimp5183]

I'm a homeless veteran and I live in the area on your thumbnail

[@TheHemiphil81]

I live in the smokey mnts and have hundreds of deer and black bears and bobcat come on my property all the time. The deer come and eat my bird seed and watermelons we don't eat..lol. i love it. 😂

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

the animals in the everglades get very desperate during the dry season.

[@Poordirtfarmer]

Dress in camouflage colors in the woods never blue or white. 😂

[@Justkeepitabuck]

It’s not impossible the Florida Seminoles have lived in the Everglades for centuries

[@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS]

No they haven’t. Seminole is a Spanish word for runaway, these are the ones who fled the Indian wars. The calusa where here along the coast.

[@SharonStar62]

@@Justkeepitabuck Seminoles have lived in the Everglades, for sure ☺️

[@anthonyruth5606]

​@@SharonStar62 I don't know what he is talking about people have lived in the Everglades there whole life actually it's prob a good place to live except for the bugs but there is water tons of it even beneath us just boil it or put those tablets that sanitize the water there cheap

[@ericmoore571]

My friend and i were sitting in the middle of an as yet built upon street in Port Charlotte. There were endless miles of these neighborhoods paved with names but no houses. Anyway, we were sitting there talking and i jumped up to get in the car and a panther had been creeping up on us. Had i not stood when i did it would have pounced because it was in that position. We thought this very cool and turned it into our high school party street. We had bonfires and named it Mars.

[@robbertram3310]

I loved the footage of Loop Road. I used to hunt the Loop Rd Unit way back in the 80’s and 90’s.

[@UrbanComposerMusic4L]

Bro flicking the bugs away took me the crap out ! 😂

[@davidmajer3652]

So, we learn that literally humidity makes living here literally impossible.

[@jamesflowers9673]

[@michaelburton1924]

This was very information. Thanks jose’👍

[@Joker-ig8im]

I live in Sarasota FL. and I enjoy hiking and kayaking in southern Florida. Have you personally or heard of anyone else having contact with Florida's Skunk Ape? The question is not only for the video host. Anyone can reply please.

[@yutomatsuki6375]

Mainland Monroe is literally uninhabitable with one small lane that fishermen use. Why go out into the rural areas where there are less people to panhandle to, when you could go a population center and pan handle there?

[@jackinthebox507]

No food nearby either

[@ericmoore571]

Those big snakes!

[@Interlocutor67]

Too many alligators?

[@KaiLuck]

I'll only explore the Everglades in Grand Theft Auto 6 'cuz ain't no way you'll catch me there in real life.

[@valerierogers9609]

I promise i won't be moving my base camp to the everglades 😊

[@jamesdelap4085]

WHY BE HOMELESS here? (And yes for most it was or is a choice).

[@sandradibiaso7316]

The alligators and crocodiles and snakes ate them.

[@SharonStar62]

Their are people living out on the lil parts of dry land out at the everglades you need a airboat to get to where they are, i use to camp out their alot at the camp grounds,

[@ericmoore571]

I remember in Punta Gorda, in one of the pastures, there was a small pond. Very small. Somegow an alligator found it and moved in. We couldnt figure out what he was eating because no horses or cows went near that pond.

[@michaelslaughter54]

Literally, the Everglades are not easily accessible. Beyond that, the bugs would drive anyone crazy. Vegetation is extremely thick in most places. Also, pythons are expert hiders. Very difficult for humans to find them. You need trained dogs to sniff out holes.

[@ruthlyons54]

I’m only at 18:00, wanted to say you provide great data, Interesting information, thank you for caring about people!

[@ruthlyons54]

Wondering how many bites you get are the transgenic mosquito bites that were dropped on Florida?

[@rodeliot]

Informative video. All the reasons why I won't move to Florida.

[@solarindependentutilitysystems]

Awesome click title wtg! So update from methville Florida My idea and my sons research we got the smoking gun why this situation is persisting ! Research a Red Card for fire chiefs Turns out he issued himself one that gained the legal ability to produce this red phosphorus and bromine! So case closed Not really but solved by us ! So last spoke to sheriffs told don’t call anymore Last night got chased into woods falling 3 times my dog by my side as my only help. I ducked under my barbed wire then under another I placed as this situation flared up literally when he was chief Might be way he was surrounded by 12 law enforcement vehicles when chief . So chiefs still across the street Red phosphorus tanks are in operation As I research the Red Card license the dof issued from Dea gives him legal ability to do so and the ability for the corrupt government to overlook it. So there you go Almost shot dead Found license being misused illegally So if ya want this stir hurry I might not be alive another week

Im glad to hear that if people get lost in the everglades that its patrolled so much, so lost people have a chance of being found.

[@captncrunch6337]

There so many bugs you would not have a good time at all

[@davidsiracuse6672]

Homeless usually want to be somewhat close to populated areas. The Everglades would be a difficult place to survive even for an experienced survivalist. If the wildlife doesn't get you the heat and humidity will. This was a good video 👍

[@Brads-strung-out]

Id take on an alligator, but not a salt water crocodile.

How did the Seminoles live in the Everglades? And do they still live there?..........."Stupid tourist" here (dwl). Gonna keep away from the Everglades................

[@babylonfallssoon]

​@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGSYour wrong. There is still remnant of tribes living down there. People these days are soft and unable to live without ac and other luxuries. They had plant sources and other treatments to keep away mosquitoes and their bodies adapted to the temperatures.

[@adriannieves1495]

I’d love to visit the Everglades for sure, it’s a beautiful area in terms of geography, and has nice weather year round( I’m Puerto Rican so I’m used to the tropical weather), and animals only seen in the tropics; but living there is another situation. Unless you’re used to Literally living off the land, and used to basic necessities; it ain’t for everyone that’s for sure. Believe me though, I know people who can actually survive there for real( not joking); my grandpa could probably live there in a shed(he’s what you’d call a Jibaro del Campo , so basic survival skills ain’t an issue for people like him, trust me).

[@anthonyruth5606]

U could farm just don't be picky u do realize that there are plants that are native to Florida that produce fruit and leafy greens I grow a lot of native fruiting trees and native edible plants that grow in my terrible sandy sand I live near the beach and still produce food
