    Love your curiosity and effortless humor. Everything dangerous here is calm.. except the sun. Haha I recently moved to FL & the sun can kill you. Have you heard the ice sounds in iceland? Haunting

    I'm surprised that you used recorder's own XY mic for recording. I have H5 and I feel bit dissapointed about its sensitivity and performance on low level ambient sounds. Electret elements provide such a low level signal (low sensitivity) that quiet sounds are easily swamped (pun intended) by self noise of the mics and noise originating from the electronics.

    i was watching this casually to clear out my watch later playlist and at some point it dawned on me that i was doing this while idling on gta online on my other pc – aka adding the human noise pollution back post-process in a weird sort of way haha – gr8 vid benn peace out 🙂

    You did right by going to Fargo to get to the swamp. Fargo is one of the most remote places in Georgia and the swamp is a further 17 miles down a country road from Fargo. You are literally surrounded by swamp and woods. It's so secluded it's a designated Dark Sky Park and is excellent for seeing stars much brighter than you normally can on the east coast and no light equals no people. I go to Fargo and Folkston swamp locations very often to record video and do field recordings. I've only seen a few videos of yours but have seen enough to not get into a boat with you. Good luck with your future adventures.

    Incredible video. You are a very brave man. I'm new to this area and I totally respect what you just did. That place is full of lube that can take yours and you went in and started the night alone. Thanks for the video.

    The current size of the Great Dismal Swamp is around 750 square miles. Still love that you got to go to the biggest near you! (Okefenokee is the largest 'blackwater' swamp on the continent). btw, I love swamps. Grew up in VA, living in WI now.
