I don't mind the camps, but this is trashy. There's no reason to have all that crap every where. Place looks like it should be burned. It's ridiculous to be in nature but not care about the nature. Humans have lived in the wild for thousands of years, but this is criminal to destroy mother nature in this manner.

Our country is going to turn feral.

I was homeless in Keystone Heights, FL for about 6 months, in the woods. Gotta have mosquito netting, there’s not enough bug spray in the world to protect you 24/7. I never understood the garbage thing. I always carried mine out or burned it. Garbage attracts flies & mosquitoes, as if they’re not bad enough already. I’ve seen some nasty homeless camps, met some nasty people. They say misery loves company. And nobody asks you more questions than someone trying to size you up and rip you off. I couldn’t stay in those places, I’d walk an extra mile to avoid them. There are some good people in homeless camps but they are few and far between. Came across this one woman living in the woods. She was hooked up with some guy she clearly didn’t want to be with. The expressions on her face, her demeanor around me, it was as if she was begging me to rescue her from the situation she was in. But what could I do, I was homeless too. I caught the guy gone one day, I told her I was headed to Kentucky and she could tag along. But she didn’t want to leave Florida. Once a person gets comfortable in a situation, no matter how bad it is, they cling to it. I kept in touch with her via text messages for about a year. Not every day, just when she’d message me. Even when I got my own place she couldn’t leave. She was terrified of the unknown, terrified of riding a bus 800 miles to where I live, terrified it wouldn’t work out. So she stayed there in the misery she was in. Haven’t heard from her in 2 years. I hope she got out of her situation. But I doubt it.

I saw a man in Key West living in the mangroves, he kayaked up to the street and had a bike chained on the street. He looked about 75

I get it their homeless but why do they always leave piles of trash everywhere.homeless or not ur destoying our wild lands clean up ur mess people.

Very informative. Very good coverage. It’s really sad. 😕

What a mess, clearly not on drugs? C'mon man. I have lived in Florida for 58 years. I have no pity for drug addicts and alcoholics, they choose to live like this.

Looks like a health hazard.

Native Americans lived in the mangroves and wasn't this trashy

I was briefly homeless and sleeping in a tent in Asheville NC. Unlike all the other homeless I encountered, my partner and I carried all of our trash out of the woods we were in each time we left. We even picked up trash that was already there before us. People who work nearby checked out our site and had a lot more understanding of our situation

WILD LIFE HABITAT??? This is disgusting.... CLEAN IT UP!!!!!🤬

You can be homeless and not destroy the surrounding environment. That's just plain laziness.

I wonder why the people who can haul all that stuff into the woods will not haul their trash back out of the camp. There would be far less opposition to camps if they were not endlessly spreading trash dumps on public property. To many, the willingness to live in such squalor indicated drug use.

Whoever created that camp did one heck of a job. Great job getting in there like that. It's amazing your ability to get in there like that.. It's got to be a little dangerous!... Thx for sharing... Like the other comment said it's a sin for not helping people like this US citizens.. and then throwing the world at others... That sucks.. 🇺🇸✌️

Just because youre homeless doesnt mean you trash up a place. They brought all that crap in they could take it out. Thats how they were before they got there. No excuse for being trashy. Even fire could do away with most trash. These are the ones that cause gov to shut down access to those that would not treat the land this way.

You were being watched, you're lucky they were friendly and knew you were a tourist.

Put DeSantis there for a week. Let’s see if he can take it.

You always know when you're getting close to a homeless camp because the trash starts 100 yds out.

Great coverage! You needed a bee keepers net hat for that one. Looked like whoever lived there could have been a military man at one time, that was a great set up & clean. Sadly many of our Veterans are homeless too 😭

I find it easier to just do the full time work thing. My worst fear is having to be homeless.

Can you get the message to DeSantis somehow? He needs to know how extreme it is!

You are SO courageous going into those camps! Keep yourself safe!

Omg. Can we end the "lets blame the president for homelessness" crap"? Florida has had homeless for decades. You make your own bed in America

This video was another BANGER! with that “hunting/fishing camp” or a veteran designed shelter! TFS

Where are the inhabitants? What do they eat? Is there any road nereby? Where do they buy food?

Spider, snakes, gators, panthers, and who knows what else could bite. Cholera and other diseases due to lack of sewer containment and hygiene. Looks like a tragedy waiting to happen.

That second camp set up was amazing with the workout bench. I always imagined my SHTF shelter, to look very similar. Bet he was a veteran or something! Way too clean and prepared! Very cool.

THAT 2nd camp was cool. I understand why the people left the first camp. They trashed it and the bugs. Great video

very sad. bad for the health .poverty in florida is shocking

Katie was back there too? Those horseflies are oppressive, they feel like you are bitten with teeth and leave a huge welt. If it is a swamp, that means it regularly floods? There are probably alligators back there also. There might even be panthers. It is amazing and sad all the garbage that piles up. Animals live in the wild without any stuff, but humans collect so much, it turns into a dump. When people help the homeless by constantly giving them things, this is the result. They end up with a hoarder mentality or just don't have a way to dispose of trash.

I was homeless.fo4 a.year amd you would have never known it. I always stayed clean( washed myself and clothes with natural soap and my living area in the woods was clean. Any garbage I had I threw it away in local dumpsters. Yes being homeless sucks but leaving your trash like this speaks alot on these people's demeanor.

Guaranteed these people have the initiative to get their daily fix though 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼

Every man is the architect of his own life.

Your content is good keep up the good work

Looks like the camps off green key road Pasco county

Hey Biden how about helping our own people instead of everyone else in the world.

Did you put any insect repellent on ?

That wasn't a homeless camp. It was a bug out camp because things are probably going to get crazy soon.

Florida doesn't care. If you don't have money you can live outside year around. I know, I did for a while.

And they say the new SCOTUS ruling is not cruel and inhumane punishment. That loks pretty cruel and and inhumane to me.. Ridiculous law!

We are sick of Buns in Florida doing noting to help the communities while leaving trash and soiling in the wood. Go to New York

Mangroves act as fish nurseries. Wonder if the homeless pollute the waters in that area. Not that I'm putting fish above humans, just wondering...............

Great reporting

I give them credit. Why. Becouse i would do many terrible things in life before living this way. I feel bad even thinking this way. And for the victims to come.

Great reporting as always Jose! You find the most amazing places out in the woods. I would suggest you to purchase a bee keeper's type hat with netting over the face to go into the woods with, it is dangerous to be exposed to mosquitoes as they do carry disease. Wear full coverage gloves also if you can, I love your exploring but I worry about your safety since these places are so remote and you never know who is going to be around and with what weapons. Be safe my friend!

We have this in Michigan in woods behind stores and major roads. They get broken up and move somewhere new.

There's no way they can live in there during hot months unless they have electricity. They are seasonal

They go on vacation during bug season

I am sorry.. but i have been homeless and having to live in a tent.. but DANG !!! why be so filthy??? i mean common sense.. this only proves.. humankind isn't gonna make it if we live like this.. i don't mean to be mean.. but I grew up with nothing .. we had no water.. nothing but electric.. and we didn't live like this... or when i was homeless.. i kept my area clean..

Tragic situation.

Is this pasco?

oh my gosh i could never live like that

The Florida Keys in the 80's up on Card Sound Road,,Black Caesars treasure.. Have you found it yet? We are still looking.

The amount of trash is crazy i bet the people from the nice camp takes all their trash to the little ones and dumps it too make it look like those are old camps

i just moved to clearwater i love it

Easier to stay warm than cool. . .Something to think about before becoming homeless.

They are not to far off the road, you can here sirens

That is a very active camp site, with all that trash laying around attracts bugs and insects and snamkes and gators.

They can catch diseases from those mosquitoes

Horrible, should not be allowed.

You don't have to go that far they're over here on Oak Ridge Road in the middle of the city Orlando Florida

It's bad. They are up in county Park close to me. Kinda on a power line easement. Cops try and clear them out. It's persistent. I couldn't imagine sleeping in the swamp land mosquitoes will carry you away.

WHILE we can't find workers

Why don't you get yourself a mosquito hat with a net that covers your face!

Thats not abandoned, you can see all their stuff there, theyre out getting their daily drug fix. Hope they watch out for gators

How did the get all that in the woods. Unbearable

Yes who can afford a 2000 dollar amonth apartment plus 200 dollar a month utilities.

Awesome compound that you ran into there! Obviously a veteran. You are very lucky that this was, most-likely, the camp of a younger veteran. As one of the older generation, an O.G. from Vietnam War may have set some rather troublesome, "susprizes" for you, things like a Punji Stick Pit! Great work in documenting the situation on the ground, but be extremely careful out there. Some of these people feel as if they have nothing more to lose, and there's nothing more dangerous than messing with someone who believes that they have nothing less to lose and have been kicked-while-down for the very last time. The possible danger is well beyond what most people can imagine or envision, as they themselves have never been pushed down so far. Anyhow, thank you for this video and be respectful and very careful my friend.

I’ve dealt with the homeless off and on for a few years. I just don’t understand the need for all of that stuff crazy. I get why but I just don’t understand.

Oh ! this time will not blame Gavin . Where is De Santis?

Badger organic bug repellent works great.

This sounds crazy, but it’s a crazy situation, but people will envy those who are homeless who have mastered being homeless when the EMP is initiated. These people will not know the difference other than the violence and BS. God bless you all be saved. Get saved if need be.

The noseums are terrible when you're homeless in Florida.

Next time you are doing woods camera work, do the voice over at home. Speaking exhales more CO2 and the mosquitos are attracted to CO2

Slaves were provided with better living conditions than this. All Floridians should hold their heads in shame.

Giant snakes need something to swallow

It could be drug traffickers who receive their drugs by small boat.

If you can't handle the heat, mosquitos, and restrictions...travel to somewhere that doesn't have those.

This is a trashpile. The scariest part are the children's belongings. Hope it's not child trafficking.

The first camp I can see some issues that could be a huge problem, with all the clutter of crates, baskets ect will cause some rodent issues if they are not careful, they use it for shelter.

Lol. He said "not gonna say what county in florida..... brother is wearing a Tampa bay hat lol

Great reporting. On a few other vids i watched _you have compassion and or empathy. Your heart is good Thank You. Be safe. The bee keep helmut and plus a holster with wasp spray (can be done). Dual purpose : for the insects and for self defense; it has a long range. 👍

BJs wholesale throws a lot of good food in dump every day as they are not allowed to giveit to church groups or employees

You might want to try a garlic supplement could help,mosquitos hate the odor.

Must have bug spray

Find it hard to believe that there is not a single person while you were there, especially around the so called military camp....

Our country is going to shit in a hand basket

You can have a camp and have a clean organized camp and you would have less mosquitoes in horse flies I live in Louisiana and we are the definition of swamps yeah people that live in homes that have this kind of trash you can be poor and homeless and be clean

I stay in a cabin on river I keep it clean. I like to be organized. When camping anywhere I clean up, it helps if your discoverd you can get charges for environmental hazards for trash and such. Up here in ga. It is easy to get in a bad position if caught , especially if you trash it up.

Toward the end... that whole clean encampment. That is Sasquatch activity.

Omg a hurricane 🌀 will be bad. 😢

Whos gonna clean that shit up

Disgusting no matter the circumstances

And my tampa bay hat 😂

Pick up the trash I was homeless in Florida I didn't live like that

Im homeless.

I would be scared to hear banjos

Buy a beehive headset

Rather than live like that, I think I'd just rob a bank and have the gov take care of me.

p.s. maybe blur their mail. js
