  • Back out on the islands for a Solo Camping adventure. There is always a risk involved when heading out into the ocean in a micro boat, you're at the whim of the weather and this trip pushed the limits. Lucky the little inflatable can handle a bit of rough stuff! Hope you enjoy this 3 part series.

      Theres to much artificial handicaps and entertainment now a days people have lost what it means to be a human amongst a planet of fascination. This is my perspective. If you enjoy it through a screen then theres no shame there.

    I watch all your videos and just realised I am not subscribed somehow, so I sMaShEd the subscribe button. I used to do this all the time many years ago, but work, kids and uni have kept me fat and homebound for years. I am absolutely determined to get back into it, and you inspire the hell out of me. The simple things in life are the best things in life. Now I need to get a boat.

    @saeedda5872 Před 4 lety

    Few comments that you may consider!
    - Use a stand to film what you are doing (like taking oyster of cook) to be able to see you. You could have awesome shots on the rocks while taking oysters or when you were eating at sunset.
    - Use two camera, on attached to you or your hand and one somewhere around fixed. (Consider you are making a beautiful show).
    - Don't forget to enjoy the trip and activities (don't fall to just making it a job) that would attract people more.
    Keep up the good work
    Cheers!

    Awesome vid Rod, love the island trips. With the hoochie setup, theres a tag in the middle of the roof panels, tie a rope from there UP to a tree, makes a heap more room inside and helps make them more secure in the wind.
    I have a few of those waterproof bags from kmart too and also wish I'd brought a heap more, they are better than any expensive one I've bought in the past haha

    it's always nice to see these places lost in the middle of the ocean, thank you. I got hungry while preparing the meal, you are really good but, for your future health, I allow myself to give you some advice, try chewing every now and then and you will see that you will no longer be sleepy after meals and your liver will do a lot less work and will last longer.

    You need a floor mat, we call em 'nats' here in New Cal. Its like a thicker than tarp weaved beach mat. Open it up under the tent then place your sleeping bag etc...heaps comfier than just on the ground. Folds or rolls up nice...cheers mate!

    @zaigar111 Před 4 lety

    The island looks like it could be my personal paradise!! I love how on the islands you visit, I never see trash, whether plastic or paper, it must be so nice. Unfortunately here in Texas, you can't hardly visit any island without seeing someone's trash that they left, or floated in on the surf. SO DAMN SAD! Wish more people appreciated nature as much as they should. The world would be a much better place!!

    I'm probably paranoid, but I'd at least drag the boat all the way away from the water and up to one of those bushes, and tie it onto something rooted into the ground. Good storm surge could still take it off that shore.
