Just a heads up. Lived in Florida for a decade. It will still be mid 80s and humid at night. I would just recommend not trying to camp in Florida. Too many snakes, lizards, spiders and crocs. Day trails are okay though

You will die sweating and miserable.

Buy the biggest jar of baby powder you can own. Put it in your ass, and on your balls. ALWAYS. One hand sipping water, one hand dusting your balls.

If something has shade, it will have something horrible under it with you. Take a fly swatter. And enough deet to drown in. AND a BIG HAT.

Floridian here

What the above 2 said is mostly correct.

mornings and evenings is when the bugs get you so during these times of day wear long sleeves / pants with a bugnet. During mid day it gets hot enough the bugs vaporize in direct sun so they go away.

EVERYTHING in florida is the same shit. its palmetto plants / scrub forest or swamp. Basically if the google map pic shows green, expect it ti be palm plants as dense as your asshair. Pick whatever place you wish, Trip advirsor or other site, it will be the same shit.

FYI Florida is NOT the place for bushwhacking as you can get killed super easy. Stick to normie crushed shell trails with running water toilets and electrical grid access or get raped by boars, gators, snakes, spiders, skeeters, or locals playing banjo.

sorry if florida isnt what you expected. its basically beach and disney or nothing.

Thanks all, looks like it's Disney and the beach unless I want death by bitey animals.

Another native floridian here.

The weather toward february will be cooler. Otherwise, youll be sweating all day and night. Youll be hiking through flat sand, swamp and palmetto scrub. Tons of mosquitos and snakes.

To me, there isnt anything worth hiking or camping in FL. Youre better off driving north or just going to the beach.

Ocala National Forest seems to be pretty good anon, not very far from Orlando. I am planning a week long trip there whenever I have all my gear, and some time.

You guys are fucking pussies, it's not all that bad. Bring plenty of insect repellent and you'll be fine. Snakes are a non-issue, wear boots. Not to mention that they're tasty as fuck.

Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

I was having a nice walk in the woods after dinner in a local area with some trails and saw some little paw prints. Put a (bad/loud) stalk on this guy. Don't mess around with them too much on your adventures though, they carry leprosy.

A little fishing buddy. He would immediately follow me to any spot on the bank of the lake if he heard a fish bite or saw the wave of my rod casting. Decided to leave so as not to make him associate anglers with food even more. Plus some.ominousnlarge belly drag paths made me think Mom was laying somewhere close.

Kayaking here is nice, just don't actually get in the water unless its clean and clear.

>>1095047
I catch them all the time, I don't remember the numbers but I think only like 2% of them actually carry leprosy. They're like if dogs and turtles had a baby, except the baby was retarded and had no sense of awareness.

Yea, I know it's not a likely scenario (I plan on eating some this year during small game season) but I do think it's funny that the little guys do have leprosy sometimes, plague tanks! For some reason I think they are great critters.

Have any of you other Florida folks seen a crocodile? I want to badly; only seen the at the Brevard Zoo, pic related. They look (and are) much meaner then alligators.

Just a funny anecdote mate, take it easy.

Can't get a good size gauge on that print; I'm guessing you are leaning towards panther and not bobcat though?

Def bobcat, MAYBE baby panther, but its twixe the size of my cats ar come, A hair bigger than the short end of a credit card, I was very excited when I found them, since it had rained like 4 hours earlier so they mustve been fairly recent.

North FL btw.

Then again, I dont know how big either of those cats tracks are, so you tell me. They were all just bigger than the short side of a credit card, wish I had gotten a pic with something with better scale.
