Stick with it guys, you're both doing an amazing job. My kids were camping with me from the age of 3 months, and 12 years later i was crossing the Simpson with my son. The outdoors, the noises, smells, sights, the dirt, the dark and the isolation is now part of their DNA as a result.
Well, good for you for trying with Bill at that age. You’re clearly a great team, which helps. Nice to see Sam again! I think there’s some golden youtube content here about living that life with a baby!
"You are clearly too pissed to drive".
He’d clearly had some full cream stuff
Incredible video mate! Being a few months away from having our first child I was stoked when I found this. Honestly such a wholesome video. You two are awesome, keep it up legends 🤙
Oh! One tip I would like to provide anyone reading the comments that has a toddler and has issues with getting them to sleep at night without a fight. While there is still daylight left in the day, make a race track clear of things that cause injury and have them run the race track over and over. Or make an obstical course for them to crawl over and under things. This burns down their spare energy and they will conk out solid (at least my kids did). When it's actually bed time, have them lay down quietly and try to list off as many animals and/or things as they can that they saw today. This will tire them out as well.
Great idea!!
Thier child might be a bit young? He probably had an issue like a cold coming or maybe he was cold or maybe just scared. Who knows. I do agree in principle ours won't go down if not sleepy so we don't try, when he is tired it's instant.
It was probably a smart move going to the family farm for your first family trip.
Great piece thanks.
We took our infant son (Jul '88) to Cradle Mountain (it snowed Dec '88) when he was six months old and took our son and daughter (Dec '90) to the NT when she was six months old in Jul '91 - effin cold but the infants did OK.
Wifey is a RN and Midwife since the early '80s. This is my 39th year in the Army, so between us, we all looked after each other :) The kids grew up saying "Dad, you never took us anywhere" ;) They went everywhere until they left home!
I actually loved this . Glad you guys had the instinct to go back to Perth and Bill got better .
My favourite was when bill had been drink driving and tipped over and u guys just laughed then Sam’s like get the baby 😂😂😂
Love to see more videos of u guys as a fam , but enjoy the time alone when u need. Take care , btw Bill is almost as cute as Fred ❤️😂😂
Thanks, Harry, Sam. You did an excellent job. We had 3 Gromets, all in their mid-thirties now. Our best friends were Panadol, and Bonjela as they got older. We took them camping all the time to Rainbow and Fraser Is. And now 2 of them are doing the same thing with their kids. Keep it up, it will get easier.
I absolutely commend you for making a go of camping with a new born. It is certainly a very steep learning curve just attempting to continue a normal life with a new born, let alone off grid. Don't give up, you WILL figure out what works for your little family. My wife and I kept our camping life going when our kids were born and had our ups and down, but made it work.
Fast forward 24 years later and I'm currently cheering my daughter on as she and her new boyfriend are gearing up for a quick weekend camping trip in his RTT and cargo trailer. The forcast for them is pure cold nonstop rain. Neither of the two are even bothered by that, as they both grew up in the PNWet of Oregon. They are both very experienced tent campers, can cook on any kind of heat source, and have more than enough camping gear between the two of them to build a small village with.
Cheers to you mate from across the world!
Young dad with a young kid here. We took our little one camping for the first when she was roughly the same age as Bill in the vlog. You did everything right. It's a terrible feeling when bubba isn't well & you can't figure out what's wrong. Having quick access to medical professionals at that age is essential. And also having that second trip that you didn't film was the perfect things to do. You're an awesome team and I'd love to see more family camping trips of yours.
Absolutely your best episode yet!
The whole episode, my wife and I were relating to your every experience. Showing the highs of life is great, but showing real life lows is something else. Such a raw and real camping experience. And to finish it off with a beautiful escape after such a stressful experience, was why this is your best episode yet.
Thanks for sharing. Loved every second.
What an honest video guys, so happy Bill’s feeling better and your second attempt worked well.
I am not offended at breastfeeding but I AM offended at the lack of Fred the Bovine Prince in this video (apart from the time lapse extreme close up 😂)
Oh yeah, Fred had a very back seat role in this one. Don’t worry, we’ll show how good he is with camping and Bill in the next one
I was 12 hours old when i went camping for 2 months, back then we didn't have all the fancy stuff, I did the same with both my kids and just remember you are the ones that know Bill the best so you are the ones to make the call. You made the right call and blaming yourselves for Bill being sick is wrong. Shit happens and you did the right thing.. Love the family vids but remember family time is family time as you are out in the spotlight all the time so some memories don't need to be shared with the world.. Diesel heater you can't go wrong!! Perfect and even the cheaper ones from Ebay are good. Word of advice don't go a 2kw go a 5kw. Great video
I had to comment... above all things you did not fail... you guys learned !.. your a new young family nothing ever goes perfect don't beat yourself up over it so many trips have been cancled due to bloody kids... I have 3 😳... but baby's don't last forever !!! Enjoy these moments while you can.. I remember when my first wouldn't let us have a dinner without crying for months... we'd eat separately just to comfort baby... anyway.. your succeeding in life soldier on !!!!
Poor Bill. Glad he's better and this trip went 1000x better. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one with a collection of photos of sammy fast asleep!
Yep you got the first thing about camping with young kids down already, be OK with leaving if you have too and not make them push through it. It feels like kids always have the habit of getting sick on holidays or just before (which has you stressing do we, don't we about going), and if it's not yours it will be someone's you're travelling with.
Just stay flexible and keep doing it. The exposure from young does help, it does get better, and the memories are 100% worth it.
Reminds me of my dad's stories about taking me camping when I was a baby. Enjoy this, life goes by in a blink
Brutal honest mate and thank you I think new parents need to see stuff like that and it happens and everything you did was measured and practical . Good on ya
I love how brutally honest this is, keep it up team Fisher 🌞
All’s well that ends well mate. I’m glad you posted this video up. Nice to see the human side of camping with kids and what happens. Poor little fella at the hospital. You two followed your gut. He’s in good hands. Great watch man.
Holy shit I lost it at “land rights for gay whales” 😂
Great video mate. Thanks for posting it as I am sure plenty of new parents will sympathize with the situation. Now that my kids are a little older, you realise very quickly nothing goes exactly to plan and that is now the norm. That's life! Challenging in the moment though. Trick is to find the positive in everything. And I mean everything.
Started camping when our son was 6 weeks old. First nightcI didn't sleep at all. Second night, I slept so well I think he got a bit cold, but we both survived. We kept at it. It wasn't always easy, but we all benefited from it.
We've used bamboo wipes for 2 years theyre great....and good on you two for getting out there with Bill
It’s tough with them at that age. As soon as Bill is crawling, porta cots are great as a playpen while you set up camp. He can watch you and he’s captive.
Happy to see more of these Harry!
Love the family blog!!
Awsome guys this is a perfect vid... love the honesty in this trip! Look forward to the next one!
Ahh the memories . Thanks for sharing 🍻
Loved this video! Camping with little ones gets easier as time goes by!
Loved the family content. Keep it coming! Good on ya
Love that you keep it real!!
Solid Team and Solid Content. Keep doing exactly what you are doing.
I came here to check on your back…… (late, I know) but I’m staying because I’m hooked on the honesty of this channel. Being a father of one boy, with another on the way, this is warming to watch. Couldn’t have agreed more with your commentary at the end. Cheers to getting back out there.
Awesome guys, still smiling and out camping
Love the honesty, thanks for sharing this!
Love to see Sam in the vids! Congrats on a gorgeous wee boy!
You guys did so well, it looked very stressful and I love that despite this trip not going well, you didn't let it beat you and you got out there again. Nice work being so candid, I know stuff like this is hard to share when it all doesn't go to plan. Hope your little man is well :)
Those of us that have kids and have taken them out of their usual routine have all been there. You guys did nothing wrong, you just have those nights. Now my experience is, people are very generous with advice, all trying to do their best to help, even the best laid plans sometimes just don't help you avoid those nights when it happens.
Glad your little man is doing better! Camping with kids is exceptionally difficult, even as they get older and more mobile.
What a great vlog. For camping obsessed soon to be first time parents, we really enjoyed this, warts and all! Glad to hear Bills better and you guys got to have a good adventure a couple of weeks later 🍻
Great to see you out with the family enjoying Denmark
best of luck
Love how raw and real this is ! Hope the little fella is all better 🙂
Great honest vid, glad the little fella is all good
Definitely love the family camping VLOG, please do more. Your whole family is inspiring and it's great to see how the experts do it.
Great video mate, enjoyed it. Awsome work….
Loved the vlog mate, Always love the vibe in your video's :) so down to earth and real. Also good to see bill actually enjoy camping in the snippets at the end!
Great video! Keeping in real is the way to go, sometimes with kids things don’t go to plan and that’ ok. Love that you both followed your instincts and made the right call to head home, our kids worst illnesses have often started with crappy nights and unsettledness it’s always days later that it all makes sense, I’m glad he’s feeling better. Great work Sam, and thanks for normalising breastfeeding and being brave enough to do it on camera, keep up the hard work ❤️
One of the best videos so far mate, we can totally relate to you both as parents for the first time when we went camping. It's an experience for sure but totally worth it and always go with your gut feeling 🍻
Great video guys - warts and all was very brave! Good on you for attempting it all under some very trying circumstances. So glad the little guy was ok in the end and great to have Sam back on the channel 👍🏻
Best video so far hands down!
Great to see Bill is well again & enjoying the camping life. Thank you for showing the reality of family camping.
Really good to see vlogs are back and that family life hasn't stopped you from camping
Awesome video, loved the raw honestly of it. We can relate to your experience 100%. It’s also so easy to blame a bad nights sleep while away on the fact that you are away . . . . You have bad nights all the time! Thanks again for sharing the content and hope to see many more 👌
Hey Harry, we really enjoyed this video, it’s going to be really handy for us since we have a baby due soon and also a camper trailer on its way, so thanks for sharing this!
Also, super glad to hear that your little one made a full recovery and loved the next trip at the spot.
Love this and so glad Bill is ok. Always trust your gut when it comes to your kids xx
Great job guys. Glad little Bill is better and keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍
Wholesome stuff - love the teamwork you and your wife have. The support you have for eachother is admirable! Great video, especially for all new parents wanting to tackle a trip like this with a baby. Glad Bill's feeling better!
Well done you guys, this is so raw & real. I admire your honesty & vulnerability.
Best video i have seen in a long time. Best advice for young parents as well. Loved it ,keep up the good content and Merry Xmas.
Mate your just going through what every new parents do. It gets better👍
Loved it. It was raw and real. Best vid I’ve seen u make. Bring on some more.
Oh really enjoyed this episode guys! Well done for taking Bill out camping and I’m glad he is okay now and enjoyed another camping trip later.
I loved seeing Sam on camera and enjoyed watching you both chat a giggle together. Don’t be hard on yourselves you’re doing a great job!
Bill's adoreable.
You guys are a great team.
Hope your next trip works out better.
Thanks for sharing this.
Loved the video mate! Such great personalities for raw vlogs. Would definitely enjoy seeing more
Keep ‘em coming
Harry and Sam, that was fantastic. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your family and the trials and tribulations, please do some more soon and Iook forward to watching you two develop as parents and Bill growing up.
It is extremely hard at that age but it will get better over time. Good on you guys for giving it a go and thanks for bringing us along.
Great video guys. You both are doing an amazing job. Best wishes.
Great video. Any family camping plans never ever go to plan. Especially when a baby is around. Fantastic that you both had a crack at it and found what works and doesn’t work. Glad to here the second trip was a success. Well done mate 🍻👍🏼😎
Thanks for sharing and stuff happens. Its life really and nothing ever goes the way you plan it.
Great video, good seeing Sam again you guys make a great team.
Great vlog Harry!! More family camping content please:D
Thanks for sharing your family camp with Bill, Glad he is better and a happy camper . Cheers from 2 West Aussies in Saudi Arabia.
Really love this video mate. Real people doing real world stuff. Great motivator for myself. Keep it up. Cheers
Way to go guy's we've been there and it's definitely not easy but that's all part of it, keep up the good work, camping as a family definitely does have it's tricky time's but the great time's make it all worth it. We still love watching your vids, you and Sam are doing a great job. 👍👍
Great video so glad ur boy is ok now.👍 more family videos 😁
With two young ones keen as to see more on family camping Harry. Keep up the great content.
Thank you for the family camping blog. Glad to see in the end the family is all happy, well and what good families do, enjoy camping.
Thanks for showing the racer for you fire pit.
Look forward to you next cook segment. From Ross and Leigh.
Kudos for new camp family experience. Yours is one of a couple of CZcams channels I’m subscribed to with new baby to introduce. I must say the family style gives a whole new (positive) aspect to the Channel. Great to see more content from Sam too. You say a disaster of a camp, I say well done.
Well done guys!!
Awesome is all I can say. Loved the warts and all video. Great you guys got another chance to get away without the camera.
Hey wishing you guys a happy Christmas, and looking forward to seeing your family trips next year or whenever...
Cheers Mark...
Great to see open honesty, glad Bill is ok. Brings back some good and not so good memories.
Great vid guys. Every parent does the same thing differently. We did the big lap over 4 months, 5 kids (10.8.6.4.& 18 mths) in a LC100 and a very old modified Jayco Swan and a Freedom tent.
Kids now 30 down to 22 and all love camping . Have put a deposit on a Cub Fronteir and can't wait to be grey nomads of the bush variety. Love ya work.
Great, real world blog which brought back loads of memories of when my kids were small. Would love to see more like this and so glad the little one is all fixed.
You guys are amazing parents. Do whatever you can do to survive. You're doing such a great job.
Well done guys, both my girls went camping before they were 6 months old, keep on rolling the way you are 🤙🏼🤙🏼
What a brilliant video!!! You guys did amazing. The raw style of the video was an absolute pleasure to watch. Keep the family vlogs coming.
Yup loved it. So real. Mine are all adults now but all our holidays were camping holidays and somehow nearly every holiday there was some small drama. But in saying that my kids are very positive about their camping holidays and I feel it help make them resilient and adaptable to many different situations. 👍🏻
Thanks heaps for sharing guys, The first time I went camping with 2 out of my 3 kids was brutal with each of them. I reckon they way you guys do things and what you have to share is awesome and thoroughly enjoy watching every single time a video comes out (and so do my kids) Please keep sharing, Sorry to hear you had a crappy few weeks and hopefully things are looking up and you can get back to some sort of normal :-) I have been playing around with this parenting thing for 15 years now and we still learn new stuff everyday, Hopefully there is more of you guys as a family, the banter between you and Sam has always been fun to watch when she has made it to your videos, Keep up the good work guys, I think the internet likes it
Thanks for that Harry, expecting our first in July and we also have a fwd fold so was great to see how it worked with a young one. Glad Bill is ok now 👍 keep the good stuff coming
Such a great genuine video!
We had a dometic diesel heater in our camper while we were travelling. Was absolutely amazing for those cold winter nights in the outback. Also helped keep the canvas dry for early morning pack ups. Wasn't cheap but so worth it.
Really enjoyed this format Harry! Your experiences are very familiar to home. We started our (now 2 year old) off camping in our Cub from around a month old. We've got another due in January and I'm looking forward to doing it all again.
I noticed with your food prep area that you might want to get a croc bin to hang off the kitchen poles. Makes food prep so much easier and so far it's the only bin we've found that goannas/dingos etc don't get into.
Not that I have kids yet but I'm honestly really interested in how you guys go camping with a young one. Would be sweet if this time next year you did a video talking about what you have learnt and how everyone else can making camping with infants/ young kids better.
Everyone I know who loves camping that has just had kids always seems to say "na we cant go because of the kido". Would love to see what you all learn so I can hopefully persuade those mates to bring the kid along but also for when we do start to have a family we can keep camping as a option for us rather than just putting it into the to hard basket for a few years.
Keep up the good work!
Great job! As parents we enjoyed how honest and relatable this episode is 😅
Glad you decided to post the video, camping trips don't always go to plan even without kids and its good to show that.
Hey mate. Been a fan and watching for years and never commented or anything but had to this time. Your best episode ever . Related so much to your struggle and admired how well you guys worked as a team. My wife and I went through very similar experiences as keen campers re-learning how to do it with a baby and I can tell you it definitely gets easier. My boy is almost 3 now and that brings its own challenges but we are really enjoying camping as a trio now. Keep at it and enjoy, there’s nothing better than being in the bush with your family.
Your honesty is brilliant mate and a breathe of fresh air! Glad Bill is ok and would love to see more vids like this!!
Awesome, looks great fun and don't sweat the mistakes. Every parent has been there, as long as you don't break them your good!
Top video guys; glad Bills all good now not much fun camping with sick kids. We spent 7 months touring the US of A in an RV with a three and a six year old some of that was tough going but wouldn't have missed it for the world. The memories you two have already started building as a family with a dog who goes camping is commendable. Love to see more. Travel safe and have fun.
Thanks for the raw video, your authenticity is what makes your videos amazing. Was great to see your family outdoors despite the hiccups. Every parent has been there. My 3yr old started camping with us at 6months and it’s her favourite thing to do now. Begs us to go out every weekend. All the best with what’s going on. Keep strong.
