Great Video 👀 I must say your wife is WONDERFUL!!! 🥰💓 You both I admire I how your wife puts you first as in Your cups Tea🍵 and coffee ☕ ❤ I may feel 🥲💞💕 Good Bless! 🙏
A lot of work goes into these effortless looking episodes mate 😎Thanks for another great spot ya lead us to and a flaming good Chicken Dinner ,Winner Winner Chicken 🍗 lol 😝
Nice video Shad. A couple of well spent days, I was out there the same weekend in the same area and it was extremely cold, looks like a great weekend mate thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate , yes very cool. Thats a few we have seen lately now. There was one at our turon river camp with the boys but it was a bit camera shy plus we were probably a bit noisy etc. thanks for tuning in again 👍
Great Video. Again. Drone footage really showcases the area mate Great little camp site tucked away in the corner Love the ambiance Good food Good company 👌 Another camp spot added to the list . Cheers guys Brad & Fi
Nice one mate 👌 Can never be too cold for camping though, the colder the better I reckon 🥶🥶 The colder it is the bigger the 🔥. Thanks for sharing bud 👍👍
What a great Vlog Natasha and Shad. We felt like we were watching a movie. The music was perfect, the cinematography was so professional and the shot with the fire and stars was really special. We loved it all. We must have missed your river dip Shad 🤔 lol. Pro: Very impressed..💗 Con: I will now be expected to chainsaw our timber for the fire. Lol! 💗 ❤️🇦🇺🦘
Thanks for the Vid Shad....man it did look mighty cold, but that adds to the ambience i guess. You eat like Kings & Queens those shanks looked sensational ...nice work. Keep em coming mate.
Nice one Shad, you guys ditched the troopy already ? 🤦🏽🤷🏼 How good was the platypus, would have been a nice surprise. -4, might need a bigger fire pit soon.
Loved seeing the Platypus it means the water is good and always pristine, where they are! Lovely, serene spot for a camp, might have needed 2 fires going as it was very cold! Loving your overhead shots from the Drone too! Cheers
Thank you , yes it was freezing 🥶, we also seen a Rakali (native water rat ) at night , I couldn’t get it on camera but they are also pretty rare from my understanding.
Great spot! Blow freezing almost sounds good about now, it was 34c here yesterday, and I'm just not ready for that yet! I'll be watching for your next one!
Had to put a jumper on to watch that Shad 🤣 You guys had a great little spot tucked away there 👍 Awesome video as always mate. Only a couple of months now and I can go camping as well when this car is ready, finally. 👍👍
Another top spot there Shad and Tash.... kudos to Steve for the location. 🤙 As you say in your descriptions , and we should all say to everyone... "please remember to take all of your rubbish with you, and if you see rubbish left behind from someone else please take what you can as every little bit counts" 🙏
Thanks for watching, definitely mate . I didn’t show it but my whole wheel bag was full of rubbish that people had just chucked in the bush , i got as much as i could.
Great video Shad. It’s making my wife and I champ at the bit to get out in our ultimate again. The pasta looked great. What was the jar of sauce you used as a base? We plan to add that to our list for the next trip.
Only been out to shooters when it snows, never stayed out there didn't know this was there, though i dont think is enough to get me to go out there. :)
Thanks mate , no its not warm in the camper 😂, but we are warm enough in bed rugged up. You will be fine to get to that spot mate. Perfect for you guys 👌👌.
Thanks for the video, great inspiration, i have been considering going out Oberon way for camping and hoping it snow's. Where would u recommend, if ur chasing snow camping
Thanks guys, really appreciate it. We use a cheap 2000w inverter in the camper, and some times the bluetti. Most of the time 1 set of batteries is enough just keep your chain sharp.
I have a Makita 2x 18v chainsaw with the dual battery charger. With 2x 5A batteries on the charger it's on the limit of our Victron 500w pure sinewave inverter. With only one battery it's happy all day.
As an avid camper and outdoor enthusiast, I've tried a variety of grills over the years. I was a Traeger+ user until I switched to Asmoke and it's been a game-changer. The convenience and versatility of the Asmoke grill is unparalleled. The precise temperature control ensures perfect cooking every time, regardless of the weather conditions. I love that it uses wood pellets - the different flavors add a unique touch to the meals. The compact size and battery-powered feature make it perfect for camping trips. I've grilled, smoked, roasted and even baked with it, all with excellent results. The transition from Traeger+ to Asmoke has been smooth and I wouldn't change it for anything. Next time I'm camping in Pine Forest, I'm definitely bringing my Asmoke grill with me. #Asmoke
Yeah they were our friends, i did say that. Just not a good spot to circle up so to speak. I do get what you mean though, ive had people use my bullbar as their personal bar before 😂😂
All appeared to be distant enough even if not buddies, just provided the ambiance isn't ruined by distasteful over the top music, all good, you'll meet lots of lovely like minded people's in locations like that. But then there's the total opposite, we camped up in SA on a clearing with just one other couple on the distance otherside of clearing to us. By dark all their mates arrived but they were courteous played easy listening music at a nominal volume BUT around 1am a hole new group came in filling the space surrounding us, totally foreign language at high volume, then the most hideous loud music until dawn, Now That's Rude. I can't pick nationalities but these people were annoying to say the least. That's annoyance !!! Cheers from Darwin, furthest thing from cold up here presently, I'm not minding the break from the cold down there at all, kids relaying how cold it is to us regularly.
Thanks for watching mate , you don’t need a pin for an adventure, the name of the state forest is in the description and plenty of camping spots around the area , go for drive and you’ll probably find a better spot than me 👍👍
Never understand why you keep these spots a secret? Everyone should have a chance to see and experience. Especially the people who support you by subscribing to your channel.
Thanks mate, thats fair but imagine if i gave the location out to some of these spots, im not worried about my subscribers obviously but its others just searching UA-cam for spots. There is increasing pressure on a few spots around. Also i get backlash the other way when people find out i have been somewhere they are messaging me saying i hope your not putting that on UA-cam so i cant really win either way. But this spot for example if you go to my video description i name the state forest and its not that big and if you jump on google earth im sure you’ll find it in 5 minutes. Some spots i don’t give the location to as well depending on the difficulty of getting there as i dont want to be responsible for someone damaging their vehicle. I hope this helps you understand the spot im in. Cheers Shad
Great Video 👀
I must say your wife is WONDERFUL!!! 🥰💓 You both I admire I how your wife puts you first as in Your cups Tea🍵 and coffee ☕ ❤

How good was the platypus, would have been a nice surprise.
-4, might need a bigger fire pit soon.
Definitely need a bigger fire 🔥, troopy be out in the next one ☝️
Another good video Shad , good to see the drone up in the air , Natasha was right , should have got a rod out and thrown a few lures in that spot 👍
Yeah mate , we could see the trout rising 🤦♂️🤦♂️. I’ll be back

Great spot! Blow freezing almost sounds good about now, it was 34c here yesterday, and I'm just not ready for that yet! I'll be watching for your next one!
Thanks mate , yeah its cooled off over here now but not to bad , better than really hot i suppose
Great video guys, nice and relaxing! What a spot 🤩🤩
Thanks guys 👍👍🤠
top notch as always
Thanks mate 🤠👍👍
Had to put a jumper on to watch that Shad 🤣

Another top spot there Shad and Tash.... kudos to Steve for the location. 🤙

I'm glad you like it, thanks for watching
Looks like Bob’s a little camera shy. Say hello to him for me when you see him next!
Yeah will do mate 👍🤠
Hi Shad. Enjoyed your video. Just wondering were you got the fire shield from please.
Hi , the fire shield is an ozbarrier , i have the link in the video description and also a discount code. Thanks for watching
@@shaddonaghue thats ok. Thankyou for replying
Great video Shad. It’s making my wife and I champ at the bit to get out in our ultimate again. The pasta looked great. What was the jar of sauce you used as a base? We plan to add that to our list for the next trip.
Thanks for watching guys , it was sun dried tomato pesto, then we added cream for cooking. Real quick and easy.
@@shaddonaghue thanks Shad. We love your channel. Don’t change a thing.
Only been out to shooters when it snows, never stayed out there didn't know this was there, though i dont think is enough to get me to go out there. :)
Thanks mate , yeah probably not hey , to many other good spots near you 👍👍
Should I do more camping in the summer or winter.or what’s best.
Personal preference really, I enjoy all aspects of camping all year round. 👍
Great spot - mind sharing where it is ?
The name of the state forest is in the video description, easy to find from there. Plus heaps more spots there. Have some fun exploring 🤠👍👍.
What a great spot. Good video.
Is it warm in the camper?
Do you reckon a normal van would get down into there Shad?
Cheers, Graeme
Thanks mate , no its not warm in the camper 😂, but we are warm enough in bed rugged up. You will be fine to get to that spot mate. Perfect for you guys 👌👌.
Thanks for the video, great inspiration, i have been considering going out Oberon way for camping and hoping it snow's. Where would u recommend, if ur chasing snow camping
Shooters hill , near the towers. Its the highest spot around. Im hoping for a snow camp up there this year too.
Where about s is that dam I live in bathurst and never heard of it
Out near shooters hill 👍
Hey guys love the vid & the food , just wondering what size inverter are you using to charge your batteries on the chainsaw ? 👍❤️
Thanks guys, really appreciate it. We use a cheap 2000w inverter in the camper, and some times the bluetti. Most of the time 1 set of batteries is enough just keep your chain sharp.
@@shaddonaghue Thanks mate I have a smaller inverter and doesn’t like charging the batteries so we use a petrol chainsaw . Thanks for the info 👍
I have a Makita 2x 18v chainsaw with the dual battery charger. With 2x 5A batteries on the charger it's on the limit of our Victron 500w pure sinewave inverter. With only one battery it's happy all day.
@@jebw yeah i only take the single battery charger and charge them one at a time.
@@jebw thanks for the feedback 👍
What shield are you using behind the snow peak fire pit
Its called an ozbarrier , the link is in the video description 👍👍
Hi mate, where did you grab that windshield for the fire?
Thats an ozbarrier , link and discount code is in the video description. Thanks
Where did you get the wind break for your fire pit?
Its an ozbarrier , the link is in the video description
@@shaddonaghue Many thanks. A bit pricey for me. Might try and make my own. Thanks again for the info. Much appreciated.
@@OSullivanbeare your welcome
Where is Oberon
As I am in Melbourne
I suppose it probably near Bathurst or out that way. We are not far from jenolan caves.

Tell me those people who pulled up next to you and after you were there first were your friends!? That would totally pee me off if they weren’t.
