    Your idea of people approaching you is wrong, I thought you were inspirational, but I think you are narrow minded just because a man is old it does not mean he is going to attack you or offend you so you have lost a viewer and maybe a lot of other men don't be so sexist and narrow minded.

    • @PKTLFE

      @@philljanes8725 Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand your concern about my viewpoint regarding older men approaching me. I want to clarify that my perspective comes from personal experiences that have shaped my approach to these situations. Throughout my life, I've unfortunately encountered multiple instances of inappropriate and unwanted advances, including sexual assault. These experiences have understandably influenced my reactions and the boundaries I set for my own safety and well-being. It's important to acknowledge that while not everyone has harmful intentions, my personal history with these encounters has led me to be cautious and protective of myself. My intention is not to generalize or unfairly categorize people but to prioritize my safety based on past experiences. I believe everyone has the right to establish boundaries that feel safe and appropriate for them, and it's essential to respect each individual's personal journey and the ways they choose to navigate their interactions. Thank you for understanding my perspective and for engaging in this conversation with an open mind.

    Mate, it’s awesome to see you out there on your own. Your freedom makes me jealous. If you venture into the central highlands( just west of Emerald Qld ) there are a few Saphire fossicking areas around the towns of Rubyvale, Saphire and Anakie. My family and friends visit the area every year and camp out in an area call Glenalva.

    3:42 that being the case , meander your way down to Mungo Lake and immerse yourself in the FNP history there. The human history on site is so immense that it sucks you in with just how astoundingly old it is. The Darling River Run is a great way to get there and it starts at Brewarrina with the fish traps in the river. They are the oldest known, continually standing, man made structures in the world. Older than the pyramids, older than Machu Picchu.

    To make driving on corrugated roads easier. Deflate your tyres, down to about 18-20psi. Takes out a lot of the judders. Saying that you need to have some type of pump to re-inflate.

    I think I watched that block once or twice about a decade ago. Those shows seem designed for an older audience, and your video reflects that style. This might be why you’re not getting many views or likes. I clicked on your video hoping to find useful solutions to many problems. However, the excessive talking was off-putting, and I found myself skipping through it, disappointed and without gaining anything of value. Maybe if you pulled the trim and plated it with nickel or black chromium would have been something of value, but you just take short-cuts. and it's a waste of my time.
