She put those on her IG? Then IMO, for her to see that comparison speaks volumes. But maybe that is just my hindsight.
the first pic is from GP’s IG, I added the second one to show/compare why it has haunted me….

A bivvy sack type of thing. He'd be smart to take one, but even with an under tarp, it seems like it would be hard to keep that dry for very long.
This level of flooding brings out every creature know to man. Humans become the prey. A hammock in a tree? The snakes will thank you for making their life easier. You may sleep thru that rattler’s warning. Slogging thru water you might stir up a nest of water moccasins. But you won’t live to tell about it.
Those palmetto bushes? The roots are 3’ deep and teaming with palmetto bugs. They’re cockroaches. They can get 3”-4” big, fly and bite. They’ll eat anything.
a moccasin bite will kill you dead!
Yes, ordering her to go for a walk to cool off after he had been slapping her, then taking her phone and locking her out of HER van. The nerve of him and then the officers decided that she was the aggressor. That must have almost destroyed her.She said "He was trying to lock me out of the van and I was trying to get my phone back," to the officers?
Oh dear.
I might've already heard that but I'm really processing that now.
My heart just keeps breaking for her. And her parents.

something happened cause he aint still in that swamp.....nope nope!This is JMO but I assume he drove there, someone picked him up and took him elsewhere, and his parents went to pick the car up. If he isn't in the Carlton Reserve, then other people have to be helping him. Too many people looking. I think he came home, told his parents what happened. They made plans, cleaned up, and hired an attorney. It's hard to believe, if they were really scared their son was going to kill himself, they wouldn't have waited so long to report it. I was thinking we are all so shocked at his parents behavior, but it doesn't appear that they care anymore for their son then they did for Gabby. Unless they know where he is and that he is safe. This is, of course, JMO.
he aint in there is my best bet!!
He presumably can't use a light, either, for fear of being caught. The darkness is pitch black when you have no light (it's easy to lose your tent when you take a pitstop in the middle of the night). And the night time amplifies sound. Every animal will sound MUCH louder. Even a caterpillar landing on a tent (or a leaf for that matter) can be alarming if you're not used to it.They are as afraid of us as we are of them. Unless you disturb a mama Gator's nest. They get very unhappy and defensive. MSM makes it seem like every square foot of the preserve is full of wildlife ready to attack, it's really not like that. They are there. It's a risk. If he is attempting to move at night, it's more of a risk because many of the animals are nocturnal. I think it would be UNCOMFORTABLE, to say the least, but survivable. But, I just wonder if he is really out there and still able to evade more than a week of searches, IF they are using all the technology they claim to be.
I go to bed at night hoping he is found by IR (OR SOMETHING) overnight and every morning when I wake up I am disappointed.
I got caught in a nasty storm the other night. I was drenched head to toe.. and wasn’t able to get anywhere warm or dry. I was fine. The humidity kept it warm.
Could be, could be.I tried quoting @shelbycat rom the last thread, but I don't know how to do it. Looks like finger marks to me at 56:25

My heart breaks as well. As a mother of a daughter, I can’t imagine the world of hurt GP’s parents are in. I can’t imagine the what if’s going through their mind. I can’t imagine the anger in their hearts. I can’t imagine their feelings of betrayal.Yes, what beauty. We and the world have lost a beautiful human being. Oh, my heart aches for her mom and dad. She was a Daddy's Girl for sure. How he loved her -- as did her mom. So glad she was around that kind of love for all of her years. The real and unselfish kind.
I didn't watch it but I am always leery of "friends" that come forward after something like this. I just think that most (certainly not all) are looking for fame. If she was such a good friend, I would think she would be too upset to keep doing interviews. JMOAm I the only one who watched the 48 Hours special that didn’t really like what they heard from the friend Rose? She was a little too complimentary of BL in the wake of what he has likely done to Gabby. She seemed a little too unwilling to fully put her support behind Gabby. It could just be her personality and I guess her recollection of what she saw. But if it was my close friend who was likely taken away from me by another person, I’d have a very hard time speaking of them in any remotely positive light.
Go to 1:05 in this video. The neighbor hasn’t seen Brian since before they went on their trip.
Ping, I was so happy to read this last night .

"This is wearing on everyone. Everybody has a level of stress. Everybody has the drive, and that’s really what’s carrying us through is the drive to try to find Brian and try to put closure to this investigation," said Cdr. Fussell.
There was one encouraging note in the update from North Port PD Friday night. They said every meal officers have had out in the field has either been made by family members, or donated from the community.
Barefoot you mean!Hoping he is shaking in his boots, er, flip-flops.
a cotton mouth moccasin is very aggressive and will attack you, then we have red ants that will cling to anything that is dry because the swamp is 75% under water right now, mosquitoes that look as big as butterflies and then leeches.....then of course pinny wood rooters that will make a mess of you and lets not forget spiders everywhere, child please,, id rather be in a haunted house for a mouth then that swamp over night!This is a little bit OTT, imo, please don't take offense. Water moccasins and other venomous snakes mostly try to avoid people, the worst-case situation is one dropping on your head from an overhead tree branch and biting out of fear. But even then, a water moccasin bite is almost never fatal for a healthy adult when treated within 48 hours.
Palmetto bugs are indeed that big, and they are disgusting and will infest your food and sleeping places, but they don't bite people, they aren't capable of that. They are gross as heck but harmless.
