 Shaper 1000 here. Monkey 1000. What are you doing, Monk? Going on a trip. All right, going on a trip, stick around. Hey guys, so we're here. We're in Oak Hammock Pots Preserve in Venice, Florida. Kind of a nice little fire ring, but it'll do what we needed to do. We had to drag this picnic table from over there. They tell you not to move, but somebody apparently did. Because there was a fire ring here and no fire ring over there. No picnic table here, but the picnic table was over there, so they didn't put it back. So we had to drag that over here. So we're gonna put the tent right over there. Got some marshland there. Cool. So tomorrow, we're gonna swing past the house and drop Bruno off for a little bit. We're gonna go fishing, then we'll stop and pick him back up and come back out. So we're here for two days. Well, today, it's after four now. You can't come in until three, but nobody ever really says anything. Then we'll leave Thursday morning, so today's Tuesday. I think I just said that. So it should be pretty fun. I brought the, you can see we'll be in some shade here, so I brought the drone. I don't know if I can, yeah, I think I can get the drone up through here. So I doubt if it'll be today, but maybe tomorrow I'll get some drone footage and maybe take you over through that marsh, not through it, but over the marsh and stuff. So, all right. I gotta get started and get the tent set up, and we'll be back with you. Okay, guys, so I just brought some charcoal. We're just gonna have a couple of steaks tonight and some mushrooms. So I just brought some charcoal. It's supposed to be instant light. I'm gonna try to light it with a spark. That don't work. I got one of these fire starters. If that don't work, I got a lighter. So let's give this a shot here. All right, let's try it. There it is, wow. Okay, so I'm gonna let that burn down. And then, so I can save this. I can put it back in the pack. And then I'll get the tripod set up. I'm gonna bother you with that. And when that gets ready, then we'll throw some steaks on. Okay, so Monkey graciously blew up my air mattress. Well, it's not a mattress, it's an air pad. For me didn't you, I had to threaten her. I asked her nicely three times. She said she weren't gonna do it. And I said, well, then I'm not gonna cook. No, that's a lie. She said, well, go get me your air mattress or air pad. Sleeping pad, whatever. So I went and got it for her and I started blowing up. And she said, no, I'll do that for you. So just waiting on the coals and the cold beer. And those of you guys, those of you that may just be joining me for the first time, that's Monkey. But I don't do these close-up shots of processing wood and, you know, for five minutes of video is me 37 different angles walking into the woods. And then a close-up of setting the backpack down, a close-up of opening the backpack, a close-up of pulling out the hatch, we get it. I understand that. To me, that's just a waste of time. I know I've said this before, but if you're new here, that couple of channels I watch, and I only watch them because I wanna see if they have any new gear or any new recipes, you know, cooking, which usually they all bring the wraps. So we're just gonna throw a couple T-booms on the grill tonight. But anyway, it was a 47 minute video ended up after I cut up their video. Yeah, I downloaded it and cut it up. I didn't upload it again. And just for my own sake, after I cut out all the wood processing and the close-up shots of pulling out their knife and all that stuff, there was less than seven minutes of actual video where they was actually talking about things and, you know, showing you what they were cooking. So 40 minutes of it was B-roll. I'm not that way. I like to talk to you guys and, you know, enjoy. You guys, I don't wanna waste your time on, you know, and they do it every video. The first thing, walking through the woods, close-up or stepping in that mud puddle. And I don't wanna waste your guys' time like that. I know you wanna see, you know, because to me, this is not the travel channel. This is YouTube. You know, I'm not a professional. Don't claim to be. I got some pretty decent equipment. But I've got like my equipment's all on automatic. I just wanna make some decent videos and, you know, monkey-eyed bickering every once in a while. I mean, you know, this is true life. This is what really goes on, you know? Everything's not rainbow. And, you know, I mean, them guys do that and they spend more time moving their camera around. To them, it's a job. They do it to make money. I do too. I make a little money, but I don't want this to be a job to where I feel like, man, I don't feel good today. I have to get out in the woods today because I gotta get a video up. I don't want it to be like that because when we get out in the woods, we just wanna kick back, don't we? Yep. So anyway, once that gets ready or once something else pops up, monkey's got the tent. We're not putting the rain fly on because it's not supposed to rain. We're just gonna put the rain fly in there that way. If we have to, I can just get out of the tent and put it on real quick, but it's not supposed to rain. So, and that's all mesh top, you know, screen top. So, this should be nice. You all right, Bruno? Okay, so I'll be back with you guys. Stick around more to come. Okay, this dog, I thought he was smarter than that, but are you stuck? There he goes. Now go, keep going. The joys of having an adventure dog. Let's do this again. Didn't know we had an onion. Forgot my boing cube. Story time. For my new people, I do a story time every night. At least one story a night when we camp out. This one's not real spooky, but it's funny because we start getting on these gravel roads. Well, they're not really gravel down here. They're pretty much just sand and shell. We don't have gravel roads here, but so we're on these dusty roads. She's going real slow. She's looking around. Yeah, this is cool. We're really far back in here. She said, and we didn't bring any deer spray. I said, what do we need deer spray for? She said to spray at the deer if we get attacked. I said, I ain't scared of no deer. She said, what'd you say? So you'll fight a deer. And I said, well, I fought a deer before. She said, when have you fought a deer? I already told that story on our last camp out that we had to cut short because of the rise in water. But anyway, I said, I'm not afraid of any deer. She was like, well, I don't want any deer coming near me. We need to get some deer spray. I said, you mean bear spray? She said, no, deer spray. Yeah, bear spray. I mean, this went on for a good five minutes, didn't it? A solid five. And then it was just hurting me too bad. I couldn't do it anymore. True story. She wants to get some deer spray. I don't know if we can find any. I'd have to look online, but... I meant bear spray. I think I could make some money selling it to people like her. She meant bear spray, but she said deer spray. I know. She just kept sounding. I don't want no deer coming up to me. In my brain, I was saying bear, but that one came out was saying deer. True story. They look good, don't they? Yup, low and slow. Okay, so we're gonna get our mushrooms and onions. That was funny. She said, you get the onions? No, we had onions. She's making a salad over there. That's what you're hearing there. And do you want the buffalo ranch? Or do you want this one? Just regular stuff. Okay, okay. We was going to just have macaroni salad, but monkey not only forgot it, she forgot to buy it. I said, well, that's all right, cause I forgot my boing cubes. So, all right guys, we'll be back with you in just a minute. I'm gonna cut into one of these. Look at that. That ain't mama. That looks good. All right. She said, I said, we got forks. She was like, yeah, I brought forks. And she said, I forgot steak knives. And she said, well, she said I brought fork and knives. And I said, okay. And she said, well, I forgot steak knives. I'm thinking, that's okay, a knife will work. Well, turns out it was, here you can use this one. Turns out she brought butter knives. Did you hear that? Oh my God. Did you guys hear that? We was just back in there too. Might have to do a big foot hunt tonight. That wasn't no squirrel, I can tell you that. You think it was a bird? Like a big bird? Being pretty big bird. I told you to bring the deer spray. Okay guys, so we're going to eat. Yep. You can hear our airboat in the background. I don't know what that was, but it was a big tree limb, fowl or drone or something. I don't know, but it was loud. But, monkey really needed a couple of days of this. Two years ago, what, the 22nd? Her father passed away. My sister passed away a couple of weeks ago. This is April. And her grandmother just passed away last night. I'm in Canada. She was 94, so we tried to, tried to tell her to stop the MMA fighting, but she wouldn't listen. But no, she was pretty much healthy, wasn't she? She just, her body just gave out and she just, she was done. She didn't have a heart attack or anything. She just. Her body just was tired. Her oxygen level was dropping. Right, but yeah. So it was just, we're not going to get into the medical part of it, but she didn't, well, what I'm saying was, she didn't die of any certain thing. No, no. She just died of natural causes, so. Yeah. So anyway, she needed that, so please visit her channel, show her some love, and so we're going to go ahead and, yeah, I don't know what that bang was back there. Something was either thrown or big limb fell. You're making an interesting evening. Should be. We're going to put the trail camera up. Yeah, I'll be interesting too. I hope it's not real interesting. No. We didn't have, we didn't bring any deer spray, so. No, you didn't bring the deer spray. So I'll probably have a knife. I couldn't find my machete. I'll probably bring the axe in with me. Sampson, you know, just in case. But you know, Bernie didn't bark right now. There are bears out here, but not a lot. I mean, no one's been attacked, so. No. And I did have that encounter a few years ago, but it was a couple miles away from here. But there are bear in here, so you gotta kind of be careful, but I think we're going to be all right. So, maybe we'll do a Bigfoot hunt tonight. That'll be fun. Got my night vision. I brought the big night vision light. All right guys, we're going to eat. Gofgamp, gofgamp. Gut dump. Gut dump? Yeah, see. Yeah. Yeah. I have to explain that to monkey. Yeah. Yeah. Got a lot more bones on there. Yeah. You don't know what that is, huh? No. It's just what it says, a gut dump. So you take your guts and put them over there? Yeah. Like deer and stuff, yeah. Yeah. That's nasty. What's going on? I'll say it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. So anyway, yeah, that's what this is. It's for people who gut deer, because there's a deer check-in station when you come in. And this is just where you bring your guts and stuff. As you can see, there's a couple of bones down in there. It's a lot darker than what it looks in this camera, but that's cool. I like that. There's a bone. There's one there. That's what I don't like. They can't carry them in, but they can't carry them out. It's lighter carrying them out because they're empty. But yeah, that's monkey wouldn't even walk over here. Well, that's what that's for, the gut dump. Yeah. So we're just kind of walking through the park area here. Just talking to a guy who lives just right up the road here. He's pretty close. But yeah, that's where you see. There's a big pile right here. See the bones, mama? See the bones? They're dark. Oh, I got it. Oh, wow. What kind of bones are those? I don't know, hun. They're not chicken bones or something. Because they hunt in this area. Yeah. And when we came in, that was the fish cleaning area. That was also the deer check-in or turkey check-in or whatever. Right. But this is the gut dump. This is where you can dump your guts from your deer, wouldn't you? So that way they're not laying all over the place. Right. Kind of keeps control of the animals you know they're in one spot. Yeah, I've never seen a gut dump before. You've never seen a gut dump before? No. Really, you want a bone? No. The gut dump. The gut dump. The gut dump? Yeah, you know guts. Yeah, for your guts. So only your guts go here. Just animal parts. Oh, OK. You hear that? Yeah. It's so pretty, pretty. Cool. That's very nice in here. Yeah. This is a road, although you're not allowed past a certain point up there. But this is a road here, so it's easy walking. It says no vehicles, but I imagine you can probably ride bicycles through here. I don't think they say anything. But that's OK. It's not that hard. She was saying about fishing. I was like, oh, well, there's no water. We can't fish there. And she was like, no fishing. I'm like, look, it's not a deal breaker because when we went to home in Sasa, up on Chas River, we had to drive to go fishing. Yeah, we did. So, you know, same thing here. It's not even a five minute drive, maybe, to go to the river. Right on out here, there's a little marsh that's got some water, like a creek flowing through it. We may give that a try. So it's not a deal breaker because this is beautiful. And it's free. Yeah, it's so free. So it's nice because if we have to leave, you don't feel like we're going to lose them. We paid. We paid how much a night up at Chas, up in home of Sasa? And we still had to drive to go fishing. Right. This is free. Now, this is primitive. There's no electric. There is non-potable water. So you got water for washing up and stuff. But I mean, that's what I like. This place is like this. No electric. Just bring battery power, you know, whatever. No water, it's not a big deal. We bring water anyhow. So I'll be back with you. OK, guys, we've got our fire going. That's a fake fire. Those are those fire logs. Monkey picked up six of them at Walmart. That'll be good enough for tonight. Might build a real fire. There's plenty of wood around here to burn if we want. And we've got our lantern. It's about 10 feet up, probably, maybe 11. So that way, the hopes is we also have our bug light over there and our citronella candle. The hope is it works like it did last time. Well, the last couple of times we did this, it took the mosquitoes away from us and over to that light. So it helped a lot, didn't it, mama? Oh, yeah. And there's a party light over there changing colors. Time. Hm, all right. Cool beans. Nice. There's something crashing through these woods. Oh my gosh, I get Bruno getting in the car. I told you, that bird got quiet. Oh my gosh, should I get Bruno? Yeah, get Bruno and get him in the car. Whatever that is, it's a big flashlight. That was big. I told you that bird got quiet. That was huge. I don't know if you guys heard that. Whatever it was, it was big. There was a bird. I told her if that thing gets quiet. And it did. Whatever that thing was, it was big. I thought maybe I could pick up some eyes. Whatever it was, it was stomping around through there like crazy. What bugs me is it just stopped. It didn't get lighter and lighter. So he's watching us. It's still there, yeah. Because it just stopped, you know. Yeah, I told her, I got this thing over around that limb. And then down here, right around this mirror, I said, if bad stuff starts happening, we're only going to lose a mirror and a lantern. And I'm good with that. Maybe I'll leave Bruno in the car. I don't know if you guys heard that, but as soon as that bird got quiet, I told her. I said, there's something back there that spooked that bird. And all at once, that was big. That wasn't no deer. It had to be a bear. It had to be. A deer ain't going to make that kind of noise. That thing was thrashing around. A deer, just all you hear is choo-choo-choo-choo. And that's pretty much it. That had to be a bear. Or there's only one other thing that's that big. What? Same squinch. What about wild hog? Well, I don't. It wasn't grunting. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because a wild hog will neighbor it around like, and they'll usually just take off running. I don't want him to go away. Yeah, but it didn't get quieter and quieter. It was just thrashing around and stopped. And it ain't a panther because they're down south more. Yeah, but that's not a panther, I guarantee you. It's very rare, though. That's not, yeah. That had to be a bear or a sasquatch, which there's new sasquashes, sightings around here. No, but you remember when you were a boating and you heard all those noises, and we're not that far from that where you were over there, that solo camping. No, it would be over that way a few miles. And it would actually make sense. Well, I see them eyes over in the mangroves. So it makes sense that it would be over this way. It's a lot of woods over here. I guarantee you, any outdoorsman, comment below and tell me that was not. Or, you know. I hope you got it because I don't know. Hopefully you heard it because a deer won't thrash around like that. A deer will just, choo, and run away. This thing was big, and it was really like it was two feet. Like it was just thrashing around in these. Let me get my big eye or late, and then I'll step in there and see what I can see. OK, so I can't see anything, only what's through the screen. See, there's the little eye or late. There's the big eye or late. Whatever that was, guys, was freaking huge. I'm not kidding you. This thing was really thrashing. Huh? Did you see anything? No, but I heard something. OK, guys, let me get my composure. Beer time. It was right in here. I was waiting on it to bust out through here. See, there's a nice trail through here, right here in this area is where it was thrashing around and busting out through there. Honestly, guys, I don't know of any big flip sightings or cold sun cake down here, but in this area. So it had to be a bear. But we heard it before it turned the camera on. We heard it creeping up on us. And it sounded just like this, about two feet. Hopefully you guys heard it, because whatever that was, it was freaking huge. I'll come out here in the morning, see what I can see. I think whatever it was was still here, because it just got, it just stopped all at once. And I haven't heard it since. But as you can hear, I'm trying to be real quiet, and we would have heard it walking away. So something still in here is a scariest thing next to that bear incident. But still, that wasn't that scary, because I see him. He was like from here to the tent, away from me. And he wasn't real threatening or growling or anything like that. So I think this qualifies as, I really believe the scariest thing I've ever been through while I'm on the camping trip. Little path right through there. There's a path right behind the tent. You're crazy. No. You're not moving the tent? No, I'm not moving the tent now. I hit the wrong button in the woods there. I shot off the light. All right, I'll be back with you guys. Okay, so I got the trail cam here. I was getting ready to set it up. Something was right here, and just started moving around. So I backed off and grabbed this camera. Okay. Well, I'm just gonna keep growing, because she said she couldn't get up out of the chair so she got down on all fours. I said, were you rolling? Because she said, I can't get up. So was you rolling? She said, I couldn't get up. So that ain't got nothing to do with your camera man turned on. If you don't kick on, I'm gonna shut this light off. Kick on, see it? So if I turn this on night vision, if I cover that up, the difference. I'll be scared. I was gonna take away back in there, but we heard it, it was right here. We'll keep you posted guys. Okay guys, I'm just gonna let you roll for a few minutes. Some noises back here, like something just threw something. That sounded metallic, you know, like a can or something. Hopefully it didn't break my camera. The camera's over there. You know, that metallic noise was here. The growl was over there. Or snort or whatever it was, so. Maybe it was more than one, like you said. Okay, so that was something way off. You rolling too? So I'm gonna let you guys roll for a minute. If I don't get anything, I'll cut here. Shouldn't be looking at my screen. I'm afraid I'll see some eyes in my screen. Nothing that. It's falling off the table. Maybe we should turn all the lights off. Why? I got night vision, I can see it. Oh, I can't. If I turn the night vision on. Yeah, it's pretty disturbing. It'll be a homeless person. Trying to scare her. We've been over that. That was bigger than a person. The way I think was thrashing around behind me. Like right behind me or? Right there, between the two of us. More than likely, why? Just because I have to run. What do you mean run? Getting the car and take off. And don't worry about that. If you gotta run, get the car and take off, go. Why don't I start a forest fire? That'd be the least you're worried about. Like almost directly behind me. Make some animal noises. Maybe if we bring Bruno out. No, you don't use your dog for prey. For prey? For Bruno. Lookin' at my screen. My thing is. I swear to God, if I see two eyes on that screen, I'm the hell out of here. My thing is like we saw the ponds behind you that are down and over there they're down. And they're down over here in between these two trees. But we thought, well, you know what I mean, people put hammocks over there. But we also saw that print over there. It was a pretty big print. That was a big print. Don't know what it would be though. Because it really, it was like kinda smushed, so you couldn't really make up the toes, but you knew it was a print. It was bigger than a human print. It was long. Yeah. Because it was in the sand. And there was only one. Well, you see, that's all you find. Because that's the only little patch of sand there. There was in that area. The rest is like this. So, you know, we're not leaving the prints. No. If you step in a little patch of sand, you'll get a print. That was over there. It's over there. We're gonna get a stick over there. We're gonna turn you guys off and I'll come back. Maybe. Something's throwing stuff. Wish I had something to throw. What's it got the stick in through? There ain't no stick. That's what I'm saying. I just put two in the fire burns. I'm not throwing a burning stick into the woods, or you know what I'm saying. That was something heavy. Why don't you make a weapon out of a pawn and make it pointy? You want me to make a spear? Yeah. Anybody can get it or hold it up. There's some food out there. He'll come. They like their steak. That's what it was. I mean, as soon as the sun goes down, boom. We have a real access. Not true. It was a broad daylight when that big branch got thrown. Yeah, we heard that. Yeah. And it didn't like, hopefully my camera picked that up because I was rolling. Yeah. But I had to point it down. So hopefully that mic picked it up. I mean, it was just a crash. Right. It wasn't like a limb. This just went crack. Probably just an animal. But it had to be a big animal. I'm telling you, that was making some noise. I've heard boar and coyotes and stuff running around. This was thrashing. Almost kind of like it was shaking a tree. Yeah, yeah. That's what Sasquatch does, shakes trees. As soon as I turned that light on, it just stopped. It didn't, like it was running away, it just stopped. Like it just stopped all of a sudden, you know, just. I didn't see any eyes in the light. I'll have to look at the footage, but because I was kind of looking in the screen. So, maybe the camera picked something up. I don't know, hopefully it picked up that thrashing around. What did you do with the clock? Up on the table. Well, you want to shine it back there? No, I was asking you. I didn't want to. No, I said, do you want to shine it around? Yeah, can I? I didn't say go back in there. I knew you won't go back in there. She don't even want to go up the tent. What? I see my future sleeping in the car. It's on the ground, hun. It's on the ground. Everything we're hearing is on the ground. See that? That was on the ground. Did you hear it? See that? Shining over this way. Hey guys, I'll kick you on it shortly. He's wagging his tail. Like something, you know something's coming. I know. Well, where's it coming from? I don't know. It could be quiet. Maybe I can hear it. Oh my God. What? What? It's over that way. Where? Over there. He wasn't happy about something, hun. Like a little one. Why? Well, you got to give it a minute. It's been a minute. Calm down. I think you don't like Bruno. Well, Bruno don't like whatever it is either. He was ready to leap off of you. Yeah. Jesus. That's a big freaking spider. And I've seen it clear from over there. I've seen these eyes. Oh, it's got an egg sac. I've seen its eyes from clear over here. That's a big spider. That was, yeah. I've seen these eyes from clear over here. OK, so a little update. It's about 11 o'clock right now. Maybe we're just psyching ourselves out, but there's not cloud in the sky. And all at once, there was just this breeze come through. A cold. It wasn't a gentle breeze just left as fast as it came. Then the seminal wind just came through for no reason. There was no reason for that. No. Nothing. There's not a cloud in the sky. I don't think my camera can pick up the stars, but by sure you there is not a cloud in the sky. Nothing but stars out. All right. We'll keep you posted. On the next, Shaber, 1,000. He sees something or hears something. Oh, there's stuff at night. So OK, go ahead and shut that off.
