About Swamp Savvy

Hi, I’m Dave — born and raised in Tampa, Florida. After living in the mountains of Western North Carolina for 23 years and raising three boys there, I’ve recently returned home to Florida with my wife and our two youngest sons.

The phrase Swamp Savvy came from a family conversation about how my boys weren’t raised in Florida — meaning they didn’t have the same instinctive knowledge about staying safe around gators, snakes, and the wild outdoors I grew up with. Swamp Savvy became my way of teaching them (and reminding myself) how to enjoy Florida safely, while having some fun along the way.

This store is part of that journey: gear that celebrates Florida’s unique lifestyle of hunting, fishing, golfing, and playing in the swamps. Swamp Savvy is about passing down wisdom with a wink — Floridian swagger with a smile.
