The People Of The Everglades "It's Bizarre Out Here"

You can have all the pythons you want but not me !!

I’ve lived in Florida almost five years now and I’ve seen panthers on numerous occasions in Lee and Hendry counties their pretty common in this area they got panthers crossing signs on the roads black bears are common in Lee county too

i would not have thought there'd be a bear population where it's so hot and humid.

North Florida man here, just for context, south Florida is where all the non southerners live😂 the further south you go, the more northern you get! All the real Floridians live close to the Georgia and Alabama borders along 90 and I 10. Anything from Orlando to Miami and the rest of south Florida is New Yorkers, Californians and the like😂

I lived in SweetWater Florida where the Miami college is When I call it is that used to be a little airport We had a 1 way bridge You had a wait for a car to go over when you had to go I'll cross

I don’t think black bears in the Everglades get 600 pounds, it’s possible that an anomaly would exist. But even 400-450 Lbs is a huge bear for Everglades.. a rarity one might get 500 lbs. but it would have to have a never ending food supply,, and good genetics.. an average adult male black bear in Everglades is 350 pounds

The interesting thing is.. what about those who live way out there you got towns in the edges but still in the Everglades… however. There are others deep in the middle ,, where the roads are dirt and resemble trails 100 miles deep

The dude in the beginning of the video Long live Florida man 😎 I feel like I would vote for him as the President of the United States Southern buy birth Floridian by the grace of God 🇺🇸

Man, you lucked out with this Everglades spokesman. He is great.

Well, I promise this, you will se alligators. They are everywhere. I canoe and camp in the everglades and have only seen a panther once in Big Bear and it was a long ways off. Seen a few bears.

Mosquito's like one wouldn't believe .

A very neat video! 👍

I have lived in Florida my entire life and I have never seen a Florida panther in the wild! I have seen bob cats, raccoons, key deer, north fl deer, black bears, but never Florida Panthers

Ive seen a black panther in greenville NC. My buddy and i decided to camp in the woods behind my house in greenville well let me tell you that panther was pissed ripping bark off the tree beside our tent thank god i had a 4 wheeler. Scared it away and i rolled out.

Florida sucks man and how come they don't build their buildings out of rock and stone are they trying to get everything tore down like idiots.
You would think that, stone masonry concrete rebar steel was a must there in Florida

where could i get the theme song?

what drone model do you use

As South Floridians, we call those no see-em's "the flying teeth". You don't see 'em, but you sure do feel 'em! You'd better have either bug spray or a place to hide come dusk and dawn or be prepared to suffer the consequences!

Nothing special about this place at all. It's poverty and crime, not poverty and character. This is just white trash with the "gangsta" influence. No interest at all in doing the right thing or becoming educated.

How do you pick your drone shots?

Only here for GTA 6 reasons

Great shout out to Jack. He’s a rockin dude.

Best video you ever made.. Eerie music as well!

Love our Florida !!!!

MashAllah, thank you for bringing us along and much love and respect for the brother who was tour guide.
Such lovely place with lovely people.

we had a camp in the Big Cypress (South Florida Everglades in the Bear Island unit) for many years,,,,it was a great place to get away and raise our children,,,,,we had a 2 bedroom mobile home, a water tower fed from a shallow well about 8' into the ground that never went dry and that was solar heated. In the summer, when it got HOT, the children would get down to their undies and the pump for the well would shower them with pure and COOL ground water to cool off,,,cooking inside was with propane when it rained but most times we cooked outside....same for a refrig,, propane...no electricity only coleman lanterns.... NO TV...ONLY TALK TIME....needed a truck to get to the camp that was ringed by pigmy palmettos, cabbage palms and oaks.....had to watch for snakes but never a problem....there was plenty of game to hunt, canals to fish, old timey stores that still sold some Native American stuff....in the winter when the sky was clear and the weather cool (NOV., DEC., etc.) you could sit back at night and watch the early satellites circling the Earth....this was back during the early 1970's but that time is now gone FOREVER.....I am forever happy that i and my family were not born later as we would have missed ALL of this and there is much more to tell but I do not feel like sharing any more than I have at this time.....83 years weighs heavy on old bones....HVDUM (pronounced H-A-D-U-M...means "goodbye" in Seminole/Muskogee).......

Funny looking back on this to hear how ridiculous it is to say "cases are through the roof" when only one in thirty people had the flu lol, and that means 99.7% survival rate. Crazy looking back how much people overreacted and how much freedom our goverment took away from us for our "safety."

Now that the trip down memory lane is over and we've learned never to let government do that again, this was a great video and thank you.

Drone footage is great

I saw a Florida panther in 2003 when I was a kid. My family had just moved to Port Saint Lucie from boynton beach. PSL was a bumpkin town back then, more trees than people. Our block had maybe 4 houses on it. It was dusk, I was going to Publix or sum w my mom, and there it was in front of her headlights, a gigantic cat with a long tail. Stood quite a bit taller than a German shepherd. It turned and looked at us, we looked at it, and it took off. Never seen another one. Not long after that tho a wild boar was absolutely torn to shreds in the same area of our street, figured the panther may have been the culprit

What is the song?

The Average black bear weighs between two fifty and three hundred and fifty pounds And the largest one on record in Florida was under 800 pounds. I have seen black bears from Florida to Maine and have never seen an 800 lb black bear . I remember when Wolf's roamed in Florida

GTA 6 strangers and freaks lol

It’s not bizarre to me.. I find the place peaceful
Many moons ago I read Zora Neal Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, no one wrote about the Everglades like Zora, no one! And the names of the towns, lakes, rivers.. phew. She wrote in dialect, she captured the way the folks talked. The opens with a scene after the great hurricane that dismantled southern Florida ..
in 2021 I finally visited the Everglades and Big Cypress …. Visited Zora’s grave and left some momentous..
I really enjoyed this video Jose …

Only people in touch would appreciate the earth and wildlife, you don’t have to be specific to one geographical area to appreciate all.

thinking your safe from the dumbasses because of being remote will not work out well

Born and raised in Palm Beach County in 1952 moved to SC in 2000 seeing this I miss Florida, not PBC too grown up just might do one last trip there. Thanks

I've been here all of my 70years and I've only seen 3 live ones dead out side of oneco when we had woods not houses. And seen one at the bears den in the early 70s and yes it is a very special thing to see I was very lucky to see them.

He lying like mf when he said a 600lbs panther...gtfoh😂😂😂😂

These bad hombre’s are immune to the mosquito bite!

Great video

It's amazing to me how much the tourist season changes with just a 3/4-days drive between Hilton Head, SC and Everglades City...Summer is dead for them, but they are Hilton Head's best months.
Hilton Head has great golf courses, fishing, tennis and water sports----but in January and February, why come here from NY or Michigan when you can travel a little further to SE or SW Florida?
Vero Beach is the dividing line on the east coast. South of there--Winter tourists. The Keys used to be dead in summer, but not anymore. Their dead season now is September to mid October and between Easter and Memorial Day. That whole topic would be interesting from you, shot in the same few days--the difference in Florida seasons..Even Jacksonville is a quick drive south from here, but that water is WAY too cold for me in Feb!! Hotel rates also reflect that..Keys, Miami Beach, Naples rates in Feb are INSANE...Daytona, Pensacola, JAX Beach---really cheap--and not that far of a drive difference if coming from up north. Love the videos!!

you don't need to live in Everglades to see a panther or even a bobcat. I seen the Panthers sitting on the side of the road one time in Jacksonville Florida & numerous bobcat's

I was fortunate that I grew up on a farm in the Everglades. I’m set for life with the knowledge I learned hunting and fishing.

Seeing a panther as a treasure is depending on the situation! I love they are trying to keep the poaching down! The people I've met in and around the glades have usually been good solid people... It reminds me when I lived in Cozumel, MX when you have subdivision and city areas that bump right up to the jungle. You can see clear lines butting up to the glades in these areas...

I live in s.w. florida and had a panther encounter while hog hunting he was about 35 feet away he looked at me I looked at him he turned and went his way and by golly so did I

I couldn't here the location the man said he lives at.

Any chance you would cover Bayshore Gardens?
(Bradenton)
Many thanks

I enjoyed the video, but that "insane asylum muzak" is going to be tough to get out of my head.

The stupid thing about drone footage is that you can see the mess some people have surrounded their houses with.

I’m sorry but panthers exist in other parts of the world this guy just pulled that answer out of his ass🤣 typical Miami ppl lol (I’ve lived in sofla for 30 years as well)
