I borrowed my buddy’s boat to take it down to the Florida keys, problem is I have to use my trailer. My trailer is pretty rough too, the whole trip is around 2500 miles to and from Florida. Will my janky trailer make it? While I’m down in Florida my goal is to become FLORIDA MAN.

you need to become a verb. Like Magyver. Like you just did a McFaddy. I'm gonna mcfaddy this. To "mcfaddy" something (verb): To fix, assemble, or create something in an unconventional, makeshift manner with half confidence in its functionality, despite its unpolished or cheap appearance, often using readily available materials without the need for specialized tools. Example sentence: "I didn't have the right bracket for the shelf, so I just mcfaddied it with some wire hangers and duct tape, and believe it or not, it's holding up perfectly!"

Borrowed a buddies utility trailer to drive from NC to IND to pick up as many IBC totes as I could carry back. All empty but stacked them two high bad idea. They were taller than the Explorer I was towing with and acted like a giant sail. Gas mileage around 8mpg. And then some where in KY we found out that the owner never maintained the trailer bearings. Lost a wheel bearing have no idea how the whole wheel didn’t come off there were no balls left in the bearing. Stopped at a gas station to see what was going on. I had some tools but not a ton and the car was full of stuff my wife and our Great Dane. Couldn’t get the inner bearings race off so luckily there was a tractor supply close by dropped the trailer. went and bought a whole new assembled axel. Swapped the axel in the gas station parking lot and left the old axel sticking out of a trash can. Made it home.

[@jonsteinberg6879]

Ok,Luke here we go… son in law stationed in San Diego Ca. In the Navy had to get my daughter, her car and three dogs home to Maryland during the height of Covid before his discharge. I purchased a 2004 class C Ford chassis RV sight unseen two hours north of them in California. I flew out we took one day to prep the Rv for the cross country trip , we loaded up the next day and headed home flat towing her car. We ate from the fridge in the RV thanks to my daughter meal preparation planning. Made it 2400 miles with no problems and slept in scenic rest stops and Wally World parking lots every night. Funny thing… I complained to my son Inlaw about how disappointed I was in the Ford’s V10 lack of power… that’s when he showed me the 1000# of guns and ammo he had secretly shoved in the towed car behind the RV🤨

[@emoore254x]

To be fair a v10 isn’t very powerful no matter what, decently reliable if maintained though.

[@miker648]

Luke, you are a very lucky man to have a wife like Lindsey!!! The two of you make a great team. Wishing you both many happy and fun filled life together.

[@MrRfoor]

Olympia, WA to Holderness, NH with 15’ boat in tow, two dogs and my 10 year old! It was the best adventure ever

[@FrankLadd]

"That thing on the roof" looks like a radar deflector to me. It would make your boat show up better on other boats radar. Thanks for the great video!

[@angu31a]

It's a day signal. It shows other vessels in the area what the boat is doing. That one in particular shows that the vessel is engaged in fishing. The signal shouldn't really be up in port as the vessel isn't fishing, but no one takes them down. It's required by maritime rules of the sea and collision avoidance.

[@PropagandaFacts]

That is like you two have been together forever. The lobster/fridge thing had me rolling. 🤣She wasn't surprised...just like OK, that's his.

[@Everydayfishing]

Love the idea of only going to local family owned establishments on road trips! I'll definitely be sticking to that rule for my fishing trips this coming year. Hope you guys had a great time - well earned vacation for sure!

[@jimmyspoon1477]

I'm 57yrs old as a kid we as a family would take the summer time vacation. California to neosho mo. in the back of a 71 Ford f100 with a camper 3 kids and a dog in the camper parents up front. NO AIR CONDITIONING. Stop a KOA camp grounds, clean showers and a pool. Fun times. Love the vids I follow all of them. Yall be safe ✌️

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

24:56 that black hourglass shaped thing is called a day sign, there are several flavours for several different things, from fishing to anchor to distress

[@judosailor610]

Careful, Luke! Florida will get ya! Haha. I'm not a professional. But I spent every summer on the coast of Maine when I was a kid fishing, kayaking, boating and stuff. Loved it. Loved the ocean. Always wanted to live somewhere like that. Ended up moving to FL and now I would never trade these warm winds, waters and beaches for the northeast! 😂.

[@colinklang]

I learned vicariously the hard way why it's important to maintain trailers, the bearings in particular. We took a big road trip to Canada when I was a kid. Well anyway, a trailer bearing went out during the trip.. I got to watch my uncles and my dad cobble something together in the parking lot of a hardware store. One of many technical difficulties during the trip. You and Lindsey are great together!

[@rickflower2554]

You asked about the longest road trip… I bought a 2017 F-150 from the Ford dealer in Oregon, Ohio in 2019 .. I flew into Detroit and took an Uber from there to Oregon OH.. I was the only guy walking through the dealership lobby with a small suitcase! 😮😂 Regardless.. I bought the truck and drove out of the Ford dealer lot and spent about 2-3 weeks driving it home (not in any hurry mind you) from Ohio to California (Los Angeles area).. That was the BEST trip I’ve ever had! Saw all kinds of tiny towns - the kind without a stop light and so forth. Just neat to see parts of the US that are out of the way! ❤️🙏❤️

I do the same thing with "avoiding chain restaurants" when I'm visiting a different town. It helps their local economy and you get to try something new, or try a different version of something you've had before. I *_HIGHLY_* recommend this to anyone who doesn't already live by this principle!

Thank God for two vials of 5 hour energy.

My longest trip was my bands first tour: Started in Cleveland, then to Nashville, to Albany, to D.C., to Columbia, S.C., to Lakeland, FL, to Mobile, to Baton Rouge, to Dallas, to Albuquerque, to Phoenix, to L.A., to Sacramento, to Denver, to Minneapolis, to Chicago and back to Cleveland. It took almost a month and the only mechanical troubles we had was that we smoked our transmission because we had 7 adult guys, plus we were dragging a U-haul trailer full of gear and we didn't have a transmission cooler. So we had the trans replaced and a cooler added. As a plus, the 3 days we waited for the reoairs, we met nice young ladies who thought that we were Korn , but weren't disappointed when we said we weren't. They were just happy to hang out with a band, show us around town and score us some smoke. Lol

Longest trip me and my wife have done was Glen Burnie, MD to Strongsville ohio...round trip roughly 750 miles and then half a day at home and then back on the road to Tail of the Dragon in Tenn/ North Carolina...round trip roughly 1200 miles. So if I add on the numerous runs we did on the dragon which is 11 miles long....I'll add on another 100 miles for that, we're looking at 2000+ miles in 5 days. You never think about how badly you can get sunburned with your arm out of the window for 2000 miles of summer sun.

Those orange cap nails, Are for roofing/siding base layer fasteners. Certain brands have points marked in the "paper" , setup so that you miss the rails when placing shingles or other materials. The underlay is actually a decent small tarp , Thin as hell, But if taped right can be left on a roof for a while before the sun kills it and still shed water.

Luke, I’m not sure if you already do this, but if you unplug the trailer before going down the ramp, it helps from having to replace the bulbs so much. It lets them cool so they don’t pop from the rapid change in temp. Sorry if you knew this, but I found it helpful.

[@CarlosRomero-gk1cs]

Great Vlog, looks like a y’all had a good time. An uncle and I drove from the DMV area down to El Salvador in a diesel Isuzu NPR that we bought from a guy in B-more. All we did was an oil change and hit the road, it broke down twice in Mexico. We had to use an oil filter as a fuel filter in order to make it. You have yourself a good woman, it’s hard to find a woman that’ll put up with a blue collar guy’s shenanigans.
