What's going on guys, Brandon J. Today I'm with my buddy Tristan. I also have Jake, he's getting
ready right now. Yeah. We have been cooped up in the hotel in Orlando. Too long, way too long. We've
been doing a Playlist Live event. We've been meeting a lot of you subscribers, which has been
so awesome, man. Big shout out to everybody who came out to Playlist, very successful event. But
we got on Google Earth, we did some exploring. So the spot we're at right now, we actually found on
Google Earth. We checked one of the main springs where everybody swims, kept following that river
on Google Earth until we found the swamp, but it's clear water. So it is crazy. Like I've actually
never seen anything like this particularly before, but it is very late right now. We just got done
with a meetup. So we're going to start exploring. This could be super sketchy. I'm a Florida boy,
and I know how Florida works. If there's water and there's swamp, there's alligators. So I'm
not liking, I like the whole clear water thing. Like it feels great out here, but the alligator
thing like, I'm not into it. He's not into it. Look, I keep telling myself, like, I'm like,
they're just big lizards with teeth. That's all they really are. Like, you're not going to mess
with them. They're not going to mess with you. Think big teeth that can hurt you, Justin?
Dude, yes. Look at that. Look at that suckerfish. Oh, he took off. Oh, my gosh, real. Already seeing
crazy suckerfish and stuff. I don't know, dude. A little sketched out. I think I want to go back
to Playlist live. Oh, man. This is cool, though. This is wild, for sure. All right. So like I said,
we don't have a lot of time. Tristan, you ready to put the goggles on and explore?
All right. We are going to go explore through the swamp. If we can find some treasure, of course,
we'll do some treasure hunting as well. But for us right now, it's just surviving the swamp,
seeing what's in this water. I'm going to be like this the whole time. Got the knife out. Oh,
I didn't bring my knife. Oh. All right, here we go. So we got to be really careful. Like,
alligators have lily pads like this. And like, this is all open swamp area, but it's clear. So
if anything, we'll be able to see the alligators. But the alligators will be able to see us, too. So
we got to be careful. But let's search a little bit and just kind of explore.
You ready? Let's get this thing, man. Oh, my God. Whoa. Whoa. What? What?
Did you see the giant blackfish? They're big suckerfish. Oh, my God. This is wild already.
All right. So we just got out of the water. What did you think about the swamp? That was
sketchy. That was sketchy. Okay. We had to, like, swim under the grass, man, and stuff like that.
That was wild. There was some really cool fish. There's a lot of crazy stuff. But we just came
upon this bridge. And one of the actual guides, I think it was, like, Florida Wildlife, like,
a game warden or something. Yeah. But he told us there's actually a cave back here a little
further in the woods. So we're going to keep swimming a little bit further, see if we can
find this cave. Yeah, let's do it. It's like a big drop off. He said it's really beautiful. So
we're going to see if we can go find it. Is that a snake? Oh, there's snakes. There's definitely
snakes over here. But he went up that way in the lily pads. It's starting to get a little bit later
right now. But I don't know if you can hear. All the frogs and everything are out right now. So
the nature and the nighttime is really coming to life. It's so cool, man. This was, like,
just a last minute little trip. We just kind of went out here to see if we can find some stuff.
But it's been really, really cool so far. So we're going to keep exploring. But it's starting
to get dark. So we really got to start hurrying up. It's so crazy, man. Like, some of these parts
are so shallow. And then you go, like, five more steps further and it drops off like five or ten
foot. This is super creepy. We've got to be careful. Like, it's starting to get a little
dark. I know this water is clear, but dark water is still dark water. All right, let's move up
here. But we really got to watch out now. We're, like, really in gator land. This is a map right
here. I double dog dare you to swim under it. I double dog dare you. Yeah, you got to do it.
You got to do it. Here we go.
You're in a bush. I got river treasure and bush life or bush beer. I got river treasure.
We got beer tonight, brother.
All right, so the boys just went back up. They've got to get all that gear ready and get the trucks
packed up because apparently where we parked is going to be closing and you get fined every minute
that you're late. So this adventure might be costing me a little bit more than I expected,
but it's all good, man. Like, right now I'm just out here by myself. There's just me in the
wilderness. It is super, super cool. I just love being surrounded by the nature, man. Like,
I don't know. There's just something so beautiful about it. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed today's
video. If you did, make sure you leave it a big old thumbs up. I'm looking forward to doing more
spring videos. In the next few days, we're going to be going to some more springs and doing some
actual treasure hunting. Here we were just exploring and I think it was a major success.
It was really, really beautiful. Found a lot of cool stuff. Like, cool spots. We didn't really
find items, but saw some fish, saw some turtles. Those big sucker fish, man. Like, they were so
cool. And the cave was awesome too. So there was a lot here. We got to explore a little bit of it,
but anyway, I just want to share this with you because for me, it's all about the journey.
Whether you find stuff or not, the location is like the treasure itself, you know? Like,
just finding a beautiful spot like this, being able to explore it. And honestly, this one's
pretty unique. Like, this major swamp, but with all the clear water, super cool. So I hope you
guys enjoyed today's video. And the next one, I promise, is going to be a little bit more
action-packed and we're going to have a little bit more time considering it's like dark outside
right now. But I do appreciate you guys for watching and I'll catch you on the next adventure.
Peace out, guys. Oh my goodness. There's raccoons. Where are they? Oh my gosh. There's freaking
raccoons right here. What the heck? That's not good. I wouldn't get super close.
There's raccoons, Tristan. Look at this. I don't know. Yes. He's just chilling.
He's just up there chilling, bro. That's weird. That's crazy.
