    Keep going mate. A lot of us are struggling and while we all can't get up and take off, even though we want to, we do so by watching you. Inspirational and thank you.

    Hi new subscriber here too, I came across your channel from your I’m not ok vlog. Hope you are doing a little better and Thankyou for your honesty and allowing us a snapshot into your life. Loving the posts of your outdoor adventures and whilst I can only live it through your posts for now I feel as though I am there along with you and can almost feel the breeze and smell the salty air 😂 Thankyou! 🇦🇺

    I’m glad to be subbed to your channel, you’ve got a lot of great info to pass on. Love the look of your ute/camper, I’m inspired to get a similar rig and get out bush a lot more before old age slows me down too much. Maybe I’ll see you on the road.

    Love it 😎👌this is going on my 4WD to do list. By the way, check out “tier gear” in Tasmania. He makes lightweight hammocks specifically for sleeping in. There’s a main rope that goes from tree to tree and the hammock hangs off that. Basically means you’re not sleeping like a banana. I’ve used it numerous times on multi day hikes and sleep like a log.

      Thanks mate 👍 I actually couldn't use half of the footage I filmed. The wind was that strong and because I was around water a lot I couldn't use my mic a lot. So the wind just ruined it all. I hate when you don't realise how bad it is until your home editing lol. At least I managed to salvage what I could. I think the video still turned out alright

    I enjoy your videos and I do subscribe to your channel but was it really necessary to cook that Maron while it was still alive? Just like lobsters, these creatures do have nerves and they do feel pain, nobody wants to have their life ended by being cooked over a gas stove. 👍

    • @Campingdownunder
      @Campingdownunder  3 місяці тому +2

      The marron had been put to sleep overnight in the fridge which is the humane way as we'd caught them the night before & I had them for breakfast. They definitely weren't alive while cooking them. They were cut completely in half & had their insides removed. The legs was twitching but it definitely was not alive. I wouldn't do that
