    Good on ya mate, its so cool to have a Father and Son trip away from everybody.
    Im 54 and brings back vivid memories of a young fella and my Father taking me away Hunting off the gun aswell as Fishing with him. ❤❤❤
    Nothing beats it.
    And the very reason I myself have an attraction to explore, Hunt & Fish aswell as being alone out in the Wilderness of Australia.

    Hey mate i'm a bushy from FAR NTH QLD and the Gulf.
    So you know for future reference.
    Its frowned upon to put your hat on the table and is considered up in the bush as BADLUCK.
    So DONT DO IT AGAIN.
    You may well get a strike of luck when Fishing if you do so.
    Dont stress , I learnt the hard way of OLD TIMERS at the dinner table on Cattle Stations in the FAR NTH that gave me the tip and would never do it again.
    It goes also for putting your socks on the table in the morning before you put them on.🤨😏👍

    Hi Justin. Just saying, @ 5min and 22 sec, where you are pulling the motor out.. if you were to move the swivel support bracket bolt forward (towards the top of the motor) by 3 inches you would be able to slide the motor out and lower it down without hitting the top of your canopy a bit easier.. luv your shows..
