That is correct. We purchased the Vantenna ourselves at full price, and installed to confirm that it would improve our tv reception which it did greatly, while our request and approval to partner with them was in progress, then approved with the supplied discount code just prior to finishing the video to ensure accurate and honest information was included. This video would have still been on UA-cam if the partner approval was denied. Thanks for your comment.

Hey mate, we got the trivets from anaconda or bcf, their usually in the cooking or campoven section. Thanks for your comment.

Not everyone has or can afford Starlink. We still see more tv antennas up than starlinks set up. And you cant get the local stations with Starlink.

@@BrandiscapeAdventures God who wants to watch local pay tv rubbish ? 2 I see so many $200000 set ups wanting the best of everything 3 Cowfish just isnt that good be honest its not that good

@ When in rural areas and those communities we like to see the local news, weather and whats happening around that area, without seeing the big city tv rubbish, but thats just us. The Cowfish Vantenna has been a massive improvement for our normal tv reception and cant fault it.

That would be so much better than 2025

They are around the same price as the wineguard retro fit, so NO more expensive, and actually cost LESS if installing a whole new wineguard system. The benefit of the Vantenna is that there is no winding the antenna up and pointing it in the right direction, compared to the vantenna that receives signal from 360 degrees for improved reception, and frees up space on the roof for solar.

Thankyou mate 👍

Thanks for your comment and information mate. Our reception has improved massively with the vantenna installation, using the original cable in the ceiling space without replacing, but it think it will be even better once i replace that cable with the RG6 75ohm cable that came with the vantenna kit. Not sure if the vantenna needs to be grounded...or if it is grounded through the coax??

Thanks for your great comment, and we hope you get to enjoy some of these spots as we did. The RAV will get to most places easy when its dry, just watch out for wet weather if out anywhere in black soil country. Thanks for the info on Wivenhoe, hoping to get out there in the next few months. The fish is a bonus anyway...just being there is the best part. Good luck on your adventures 🚙😁

They are great value for money and well worth the investment to be able to enjoy decent tv on the road. Thanks for your comment.

mate u aint watching free to air when u are paying $180 a month for star link and furthermore u have to pay for subscriptions for the other channels add it up per month u obviously have money to burn

We have Starlink and use it most of the time, but like i said in the vid we like to get the local news and weather from the local area we are in like rural towns and away from the cities which is only available through normal tv. Not everyone can afford Starlink and assume a majority of travellers only have normal tv which this vid was made to help out and improve reception.

@@markburrows-z5g Agreed

G'day Craig, thanks for your comment mate. Yarramalong Weir is a free camp with no bookings and is first in first served with 72 hr stay. It is close to Pampas near Millmerran and is listed on wiki camps if you have it, and also on google maps if you zoom in on the river just south of Pampas. Its a great spot but can get a bit crowded on long weekends. Another great spot and possibly better is the Cecil Plains Homestead and is right on the river in a private campground for around $10/night. It is covered in the other videos of our Condamine river adventure if you have seen them yet. Hope this helps and hope you get out there and enjoy.

5% discount is better than NO discount with the cost of everything these days. $50 better in your pocket than paying full price....but maybe not worth your while 🤔

Purchased the alternator myself. APC4WD offered the discount as thanks for the install video. No Partnership just happy to help out our veiwer's.

Tyres were on it from dealer second hand. We were on private property doing 5kph in the clip of no seatbelt...well aware of the rules 👍👍

Being prepared and knowing your setup is the key to offgrid caravanning, and is so rewarding when you can camp anywhere and everywhere. Happy that our vids help you out so you can enjoy getting away from it all, and thanks for your comment.

Yes it is getting busy now, compared to my first trips there back in the 90's when it was just fisherman. We still love Fraser but just need to pick the time to go and avoid holiday times. July and August is the best time when it is not so busy, and the best fishing and is a bit like the old days with not many people on the island.

Its a very special place Fraser Island and love getting up there every year. Nothing like a feed of fresh tailor on the beach. Glad you enjoyed it and get to try it for yourself. Thanks for your comment mate.

Thankyou. Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Thanks mate. Cant wait to hit the road and go bush 👍👍

Thanks Craig. Happy New Year mate 👍😁

@@BrandiscapeAdventures Thanks same to you two,

Hey mate. Glad you enjoy the videos. Lifes to short not to get out there and enjoy life. We head off in October and cant wait. Will be mostly travelling Qld for the first 12 mths then see which way we go. In no rush to get around Aus just enjoy the journey. Hopefully catch up somewhere on the road 😁👍👍

Happy New Year to you mate. Hope you have a great year. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for your comment 😁

No problem mate just works a lot better filling from bottom to push all the air out and fills 100% full quicker, which is great for the next person in line at a fill point.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both and families. Looking forward to catchin up on the road somewhere 😁

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you Jeanette.

Thanks Craig. Merry Christmas from us to you and your family. Have a good one mate 🎅🎅

Thankyou for your great comment. We love hearing that your enjoying the videos and there will be plenty more next year. Merry Christmas 🎅🎅

@@BrandiscapeAdventuresawesome job and good luck with your new adventures next year with travelling as life’s way too short and I am thinking about doing the same thing soon.. works overrated and I will be like you two find work wherever you go.

@@Teddybearrodgers73 Thanks mate. There is so much more to life than working and so much to see and do in Australia before its to late. Losing my Mum was a big wake up call that life is way to short and now is the time to make it happen and go enjoy life. Good luck to you and we hope you can make it happen aswell to get out there and enjoy life.

Thanks mate. Have run Yokies before on other vehicles and they were good.

Agree. We wouldnt tow anything bigger that our 16' van which is all we need.

It does the job they need it to No need to spend big $ on a " show pony"

@@Mick_4591 100% agree mate.

I only use my bt50 to tow my jetski. Wouldn't want a tractor truck to tow a jetski

@@sotrue2976 Tractor Truck 🤣🤣

In my opinion freezing them wet in salt water preserves the fillets better for freezing, and when thawed they come out of the bag just like the day they went in, and nearly as fresh as the day they were caught.

Thanks mate. Checked out a few of your videos a while back, took me back to my days fishing cape york in the 90's, loved it 👍👍

@@BrandiscapeAdventures No worries, Thank you, When they made our family favorite spots in Aus, Double Island Point and Frazer both NPs We went north in the 80s looking for the freedom we lost around home and found it, up the Cape, Dad went up in the 50s to check it out for croc hunting but never did it, He loved it he went back in the 80s, I been up 21 times in 40 odd years Many of our favorite spots up there are shut or NPs now to, But lucky where I go penne is TO owned and still open and free, as you know its a awesome area, love your channel honest and no BS.

@@craigtomkinson2837 Thanks Craig. The Cape is a special place for me and been up there many times aswell. We used to camp and fish at False Pera Head and Vryilla Point back before they were closed for mining or just closed to the public. Lots of amazing spots up there but getting very busy these days.

@@BrandiscapeAdventures Ok lovely stuff, We loved Vryilla to was awesome there fishing the reefs for good red Emperor and mixed reef fish and the Cotrell and the two cristal creeks for river fish and mud crabs, Just got on to Norman creek and the perra area a few years ago and but it got locked to my dad camped there and did not like and it was shut before i got to check it out, , We loved Captain Billies landing the reef fishing out around Hannibal island was awesome, and the crays to. Our average trip up the cape in the 80s , 90, 2000s was 3 to 4 months camping at a few different spots

@@craigtomkinson2837 Thats Livin Mate 👍👍

Reply above...few tech issues here.

It is a great and private campsite, but yes the horses were a bit full on at times. Thanks for your comment 👍👍

Wow, the comment section... talk about hating horses. Tell me, is it the horses fault that they're there? It's people like you who are dangerous.. imagine having your company instead of the horses. You're absolutely disgusting, keep your vile comments to yourself.

Thanks Mate. Love the Gary Howard Greenback rod, good for casting and when the fish have a bit of size. I do prefer the SynderGlas though when the fish are smaller or a bit touchy on the bite.

@@barryleddicoat9426 Thanks mate. Thats exactly what i have done 👍

Thanks for the tip, we will give it a go! 😁

Thankyou for your comment and great question. I did have the ends painted and sealed on the old hilux but havent got around to it yet since i cut it down to fit the dmax. You can see some damage in one of the shots....white ants got into it while stored in the shed so will be fixing and sealing. We will drop in and say g'day the next time we are on the island.

@@BrandiscapeAdventures yes I did notice that. This should be perfect for the Navara we just bought. I'll fully seal it or we might consider using a cutting board type of plastic for the table. Please stop by and say Hi if you do get over here again :)

I had a feeling that was you Craig. I have read many of your articles over the years. Awesome work mate 👍👍

@@craigtomkinson2837 Will check it out thanks mate

We just use corn mate, the best bait for carp but you can use worms or bread balls if they not biting on the corn. Check out the Part 4 video for the rigs we use and a bit more info. Enjoy the mighty Condamine river mate 👍👍
