 Happy Saturday to you we didn't get out to go check out some camping spots out in the forest the other day so we're going right now come on so we're going now aren't we because we didn't go the other day so we're going now we're gonna go check out some camera spot or camera camping spots gonna go take a ride in the forest we're going to get something to eat be back with you stay tuned okay guys we're out here in the forest the only camps sites we're finding is the ones you pay for right on yeah and 90% of them are closed we did find a decent one and we're up here by holder mine campground which is right back that way and but we can't get in there to look at it there was another one you can't get in there to look at it they got the gates lock so you can't get in and see if you like the camp camp areas you have to reserve it first before you can get in there and go try to find a campsite that you may or may not like so I don't like that but the other one it's called tell us Hill right campground it was nice but it's you know more like it's it's campground you got electric and you got water which is okay it's only $25 a night though but they're very nice campgrounds now they have a couple outside the gate that stay there and they they let us drive back through there you said the gates a lot go go see go see the campground and they're only running they're not running full capacity too but which is understandable but I'm want to find some place that we can just camp you know and so we just pulled over here check some things out just kind of walk around in the woods for a minute so we've seen a truck pull out of here with a trailer with a whole bunch of wood on it so I don't know what was going on there but no vehicles back in this area back beyond right beyond where our truck is there if you see that sign right there that's that's what it says it says no vehicles beyond this point hi I know there's been cars here but I don't know what for and someone's had a fire here I don't know what that truck was going back in here it could be workers state workers I don't know you know forestry workers who knows this bed this bed cool campsite here set the tent up right there shade but I don't know so yeah we're just looking for places like we can just pull back in and and go camping it's a forest you're allowed to do that I mean you know this tree woodpeckers been getting at it but it's beautiful forest you know you're in bare territory out here no yeah and they got there's five or six hunting camps up there that they're all closed so I don't know if they're gonna allow hunting this year or not yeah so I don't know like it's very weird I mean you're outside I know that we're going through all the stuff but well I understand you know being a limit in the campgrounds and but to close the whole camp you know weird yeah but this is hunting grounds out through here you might not be able to camp here but they can't stop you from coming and hunting here you know those are designated hunting areas like a mile or two up the road there's hunting grounds that you can hunt on you might be allowed to camp here but you can still go back and hunt so but we just saw we pull in here and check this out see there's the truck and there's that sign yeah new vehicles been on this point Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission so yeah people come back in here a lot but that's not saying you know they're allowed to you know and we try to obey the rules you know I mean the laws and stuff is I mean be nothing worse than coming out here to enjoy you know what is rightfully ours and getting a fine because you went beyond that tree in your vehicle you know which I it's keep the four four before and stuff like after going back air and tearing things up I understand that but so we try to you know so the new vehicles we're not gonna pass that sign so we just kind of pulled in here just talk for a minute so we're gonna see what else we can see and see what else we can find this turkey trot it's closed when I seen it I didn't really look a lot at it on the website but it's real supposed to be really nice back you got a sink there you can go through up through here we saw a lot of jeeps four-wheelers four-wheel drives going up through here we'll go next weekend next weekend pace whatever but I'd like to just like get back in a place like that you know it's back in there that you take the four-wheel drive go for when he's a jeep he's invincible when he starts replacing the ball joints and bushings and wheel bearings and shit like that what people think I got a jeep okay guys we came to Coney Island it's not the one we usually go to but this is a new one so we thought we'd give it a shot and see if they're as good as the other one the other one still open there's the sign I have to check that tractor out and this tractor okay guys check this thing out man that cool looking this thing is wild it's got the original engine but they got it a blower sent on top of it big old headers makes it look like it's got a hemi but it don't you can see it's got the original four-cylinder engine in it some massive Harris but I'll bet you I could get that old engine running but that's pretty cool the way they set that up there it looks like it's a big blower tractor but it's not but that's cool old tractors pretty neat cool huh so we got this sorry had to overdub the last clips because they were playing music inside so that's okay so I got this one it's just Coney sauce with onions monkey got this what is it monk and she got the onion rings and I got the chili cheese fries the Chicago Chicago Chicago that tumble in town that's what she got the Chicago style so I seen the sign in there that said be a wise guy order the Chicago or whatever so you're a wise guy you're a wise guy and I'm just you know playing old Shea Bear here with my footlong Coney dog I still like the other one better but it's cool so because Elvis ate at the other one supposedly yeah we don't know for sure but they say when he was filming that movie which I still need to do that video of the the filming locations so of the movie he filmed down here but supposedly he ate there so he might have okay guys I'll bring you around here and show you my type of equipment here which is a farm all that's right international farm all if it ain't red leave it in the shed now I grew up on a 1947 farm all a it didn't have what we call this is the tricycle friend and it didn't have the tricycle front end on it it did eventually because one time it rolled down the hill and hit the back of my uncle's truck knocked the front end out of it so we had an old combine we were cutting up and we took the steering unit which was a tricycle front end and we mounted it on the front of that old farm on there's a power takeoff right there there's also this is also a power takeoff this is what would you would put your belt around a big gigantic belt that would run a sawmill or you know something like that and this tractor is complete I bet it wouldn't take much to get it running love these old tractors man up here that's for the crank start it's apparently broke but ours went right through here for the old crank I bet you think still runs but this is probably the fate of it now our crank we had a spot for the cranks this is a bigger tractor than a formal a our crank would had a clips and it clipped and sat right down in here cool yeah these these old tractors are awesome man this is the starter you will pull back on that right here and that would engage the solenoid right there on the starter and that's what would start it this is a choke whoops there's a throttle up there this thing is cool this is just called a drawbar now this one as well as ours did not have a lift what we call three-point hydraulic lift this one doesn't have one either now ours had the drawbar which was very similar to that we used to stand on it when we as kids like this one dad was driving till I was old enough to drive it myself which was about 10 or 11 years old so and ours had a belly motor under it it didn't have it on it from what I can ever remember but it used to have when they first got it oh it's great thanks awesome and but I know at one time it did have a belly motor under it it still had the thing up here to raise and lower the belly mower pretty cool that's your governor that keeps it from running wide open which my uncle would unhook when he was younger real young he would unhook it there was it was four miles from town he would unhook the governor and that tractor run like 35 40 miles an hour and he would unhook the governor and drive the tractor in the town now from the time I can remember up until I was probably 12 we had steel wheels on ours and then we ended up putting the rubber tires back on it and when we when we did that we put filled it up with water and antifreeze to wait them down now these these wheels you can see there's a keyway there now these you could jack this thing up and you could slide these wheels out farther on the axle and that would give you a wider stance so it wouldn't tip over on you so yeah these things are we're pretty cool I'll have another one someday I'm on my okay guys we're back home been on for a little bit I've been on the computer trying to find some campsites for next weekend and man it's near impossible there's four or five right right in our area within five to ten minutes drive from us and they're really primitive no electric no water no that just what we're looking for and they're just absolutely closed not for hunting just freaking closed I mean and then some of the other places it's you know you put in the dates you want and it's just because they're only running so much capacity you know that there's nothing available if you don't go if you don't reserve two to three weeks in advance you know you're pretty much screwed I mean last weekend you know I reserve that one two weeks before you know well that would have been the second you know weekend because I couldn't get one for the next weekend so man it's just it's unreal you know what's going on when you can't even go go camping I mean you know that's pretty much I mean you can go into Walmart and there'll be 200 people in there pushing shoving each other walking past each other no masks that's okay but you can't go out in the woods no don't do that that's where you're gonna get sick bullshit I mean damn you know campsites are farther than six feet apart you know and I mean come on I mean most of the restaurant bars around here are running full capacity you can sit right next to somebody but camping I mean just don't make sense doesn't make sense I mean how can this this thing be over you know for restaurants and bars but you can't go go out in the wilderness where it's a lot safer you know I mean that's the safest place not just going you know what I'm saying I don't understand it you can go into the restaurant and sit right beside somebody but they don't want you camping when you're well over six feet apart I mean you know it's crazy so that's all I'm doing so that was my little vlog for today hope you enjoyed the tractors but you know it just just one of the things I I don't get it I don't understand I I don't know I don't know what's going on but I mean it's a lot safer to be out camping than it is walking through Walmart you know I mean damn come on you know they're all running full capacity but the campgrounds are still only running what 50% capacity if that it's crazy man and like all the group camping okay you can't get group sites at all where we stayed at last weekend that site across the road from us was a group camp campsite and somehow they reserved that somehow they got it that but I mean to close the whole campground it's weird it is weird man all the free ones are out it's out I think maybe we'll just find a place just to just to go and pitch the tent out in the you know out in forest or something you know I mean damn this is getting nuts it's worse now than it was you know when everything was real bad it's worse now than it was then really weird so we're gonna take the boat out tomorrow go cruising around the lake for a little bit and you know but I don't know we'll see what what we can do I mean it doesn't start getting cold till round the end of December here so I'm figuring we still got well we only really got two weekends left in this month we got November and then part of December but it's hard to gauge camping when you know when you're like three weeks ahead especially if you're a tent camp it's hard to gauge because of the weather you know so I'm predictable right now we're in the fall you know it's it's hard to say you know what the weather is going to do for you you know I mean who wants to pay you know 60 70 bucks for two nights when really all you want to do is hang out in the tent you know we're sitting the truck hell I could do that here you know so you know what I mean if you're already there and it starts raining cool that's just part of the experience but man you know you book it and you pay it and you know you can't cancel in most of these places well you can you just you know you know most of them they're not gonna give you a refund you know they're gonna say well they can't help the weather which is true but man I mean like I said then you know you're loading the truck to go it's raining you're trying to set the tent up in the rain you're trying to you know you can't cook out in the rain because you can't have a fire because rain puts your fire out so you know what do you do you got to go into the nearest store you got to buy sandwiches because you can't cook anything which is to me is part of it you know fishing in the rain that gets miserable if it starts a downpour you know what I mean then you're tearing the tent down in the rain and you get back it's soaking wet and it's all rolled up and you got to take it out and try to wait on it to quit raining to dry before it mildews and gets musty and moldy and all that so you know it's kind of hard to gauge you know it's like I don't know down here like tent campers are frowned upon you know I'm used to being up north in Ohio where you know that's what most everybody likes to do is tank camp down here it's all RV resorts some tent camping then they they kind of treat you like shit you know because you have a tent and not a million dollar RV you know you ain't worth the shit is kind of the way they treat you down here most of these places that's why we like to try to find these reserves and stuff and oh there's one within 10 minute drive here it's free but it's closed it is closed doesn't say when it's going to open or anything like that and you know I don't know weird you know but anyway guys so hope you enjoyed the little vlog today and like I said was a beautiful day it's breezy right now it's nice and cool out here it's not too hot got a little warm today but it was very manageable there are some clouds in the sky I see now I don't know if it's supposed to rain more or not so I might have to cover that boat up just in case this case we get some rain but anyway guys that's it in a nutshell so hope you enjoyed the video and we'll see what's going to happen tomorrow I'm sure if anything maybe I'll do some vlogging tomorrow or something let you know what's happening and see what we found out so shea berries met the man legend gone for now thanks for watching guys appreciate it joy the rest your weekend y'all have fun stay safe be cool we'll see you soon bye bye
