You two bring out so much energy and positive vibes in your videos. You really make me feel like I’m right there enjoying that smoked fish with you. A lot of young people might not realize, but many of us “seniors” had our own adventures back in the day. I sure did; from my hippie days of the ’60s to 20 years as a cross-country trucker. Sharing your adventures helps all of us re-live our great adventures. I’m sure I speak for many of us when I say Thank You. Let the adventures continue and be safe.
More catch and cook if you get that chance please, I've always been that guy that thinks making more money for retirement is the goal, but your proving that the more money you have the less time you have to do and experience the things you actually want to do! Thanks hug hug kiss kiss.
How could there ever be a thumbs down to one of your videos? You guys are fun and informative, thanks for showing me a different spot on the planet, one day I will see for myself
You guys are just the sweetest kindest people ever, i wish i could be like you. I just love listening to you explain just about anything and that's just not me. When i watch other shows i usually curse impatiently or fast forward or just turn them off all together. Yep. Okay that's all love you guys.
"Hows the serenity"............................... HAD ME CRYING ! Watching your channel is pretty much a "Damned if you do, and Damned if you don't" because of Pascale. Her cooking looks and sounds so AMAZING. I'm always surprised at what she can make with limited ingredients and not a shop in sight. You won the best lotto when you met her mate. Love your channel.
Guys.I paddled the entire East Coast of Tassie from Bridport in Bass Strait to Recerche Bay in May 2006.Your videos are bringing back some incredible memories of a magic experience with my brother and late Dad.Thanks so much.Just love your channel and miss those oysters and Fortescue Bay.Ross - Jervis Bay.
Superb jib (...job) on your adventure video. You have the cooking, sailing, remote adventures that we'd all like to do someday. Serene scenes above and under the sea, smooth transitions, wonderful sensual in touch down to earth commentary. Thanks for being so generous in sharing joy in times of sadness! 😷
After Pascale telling us how cold it is she dives in the water with bare legs. Makes me shiver just thinking about how cold that water must be. Thank you for another excellent video Troy and Pascale. Always love when Pascale is cooking!! All the best, Norm in Arizona
Troy! Hey, Aussie Brother of the Smoke! :) Dude, to keep the "soaked wood chips" from bursting into !"flames"! Take your "Tin-snips", get a "Tin-can", cut the can down to 1/3rd it's height, put the soaked wood chips in the can (not dripping wet) and place the can on the coals, with the wet chips inside; they will smoke but not set alight, and will turn to charcoal, in the end, once all the good stuff is expended! "How bout dat, Boo"? ::;)
Hi I just bought a 1965 Pearson Triton 28 it looked a lot like your beautiful boat. I got hooked on that look and searched for something similar. I actually like the smaller fish and the way you harvest for dinner. So keep posting that its interesting.
I pity the non-Aussies who might not get the Castle references. If you are not an Aussie and have not previously watched the national cinematic masterpiece that is the Castle, then I say to you: GO WATCH IT NOW. and fantastic episode as usual...
I had never heard of The Castle. While watching this episode I had to search "so much serenity" to see what the big deal was. I have added it to my watchlist. 👍
Yum. Pacific oysters are the best. I helped harvest and eat them when I visited a friend of mine he lived in Oregon on the coast. His dad had an oyster farm that he started on a $10 bet in the Umpqua River. They were the best oysters I have ever seen and tasted. They called them pork chops because some of them were so big. But they were all very clean and clear tasting
Another beauty of a video. Evokes memories of many Fortescue Bay camping and diving trips. Endless hours on the beach, snorkelling, hiking, swimming, sailing. Enjoying the kelp forests and penguin rookeries and harvesting abalone. Thoroughly enjoying your exploits in Tasmania and your sharing of Australian culture. Loving your work on a rainy morning here at Broughton Island. Bet the rain wouldn’t keep you two out of the water though! 😂💕
@@FreeRangeLiving There is a penguin breeding rookery at the north end of the beach. We would walk from the campground along the beach and walk along the rocks for 10 mins or so. The penguins come ashore at dusk and are quite unique in that they utilise wet forest for their burrows. We would have torches but not bright ones so as not to disturb them and would stay on the rocks at the edge of the rookery to as not to damage any burrows. Haven't done this for a long time so hopefully they are still there.
I think my favourite episode yet and I've watched them all from the beginning. Just really enjoyed the joy and the unique territory you are in. Plus such wonderful variety. Thanks so much. Still on Virus lockdown foolishness in Northern Alberta Canada
Ya sure do eat healthy ...ya sure do get your exercise ...( doing climbs on trails ) ya must get good sleeps.. Clean air .....all adds up to living up to 100 yr old at least. Always enjoy watching your adventures. Because of the adventure and because of your equal good hearts. Glass is always 1/2 full with your positive ness .
Hello To you all been sometime I left a bit of good word,, have not missed a show for alone as you guys been on ,, love the show as you know, this eps. was so cool the tv. inset. was so funny,, and that looked like the best soup ever,, love you guys thanks so much for all you hard work and down earth friends ,, thanks for shareing..
Nice way to cook those mackies, fillet them lay them top to tale in a oven tray flesh up. Use a gas torch and slowly go over each one for say 25 secs, while your doing that the one along side starts cooking aswell. When done flip them over and cook the skin to taste. I prefer mine nice and crunchy you cant best it fresh tasty free range tucka lol. Amazing stuff you guys are doing. Keep it up. Martyn & Sarah.
I only recently discovered your channel here in Lockdown London and have at leisure watched all your films. I don't know when I will own a boat, but I have now set up a Vision Board. To it I am adding a screenshot of you both to represent the kind of decent, honest, kind hearted folk I hope to meet on my circumnavigation. My divided land is cursed with interesting times and yet on the other side of the planet I see a better place, where people have found a way to live with respect for one another, in harmony with the world around them, and very much at peace even in the face of gale force winds. Thank you for my dream, and safe travels in your gilded gondola.
Interesting. Pacific Oysters from here to Tasmania, eucalyptus from there to here. Fair trade. The rap about fire adaptations was really informative. Thanks. The destructive fire in the Oakland, Ca. hills on the east side of San Francisco Bay was due to homes built in and around them, with no clearance. Scenic, shady and explosive....
I look forward to your videos. I also love how you not only make them interesting and fun but informative with historical tidbits.. very sneaky you two.. love it. Thanks
Another great video, thanks again. I don't live too far away from that bay. Plenty to choose from in beautiful Tas, but don't tell anyone. Regards Steve.
A man's home is his castle. And i can definitely feel the Serenity! Your calm confidence and wisdom drops my blood pressure many points. I think ill float through the rest if the day in from of the fire here in Canberra's cold. Thank guys. Hope your toilet paper doesnt run out and you can avoid the little horror annoying the world.
Wow amazing places! Love birds down under! Like the cockatoos video. That is a paradise. You guys make one dream good! Such a therapy, sorry can't thank you enough!
I'm always entertained by your adventures, thank you so much for sharing... also Pascale is quite the beauty and so stinking sweet to listen to.... Troy you are a lucky man, and I know you know that! lol... God Bless you two, and keep you safe !
Watching your Tasmania adventure makes me so homesick for my beloved Canadian west coast. I'm amazed that there are so many similarities. Love your vids really down to earth and attainable, maybe someday.
When I was at Uni (Dalhousie in Halifax, NS, Canada). 40 yrs. ago. We could walk a few klicks from our dorms to the ocean shore and harvest a bucket full of mussels. For $1 you could get a license to harvest scallops. Today there no licenses to be had unless you're a professional fisherman (for a pricey sum) and if you collect mussels from the shore you'll get charged a hefty fine or charged with trespass. Enjoy your free ranging while you may. Love your videos.
⛵ It is nice that you have the knowledge to prepare the fish and other Aquatic food. You definitely live off the sea to a large degree. Wishing you safe sailing always.
I wish I could be with you...and experience all the things. Life in cubical isn't a world that's the world you are in . We are just living virtual world. Thank you for all your videos.
You make this old man so happy watching and looking forward to your next adventure. Thank you so much for sharing and for what I’m learning. Do you guys have any future plans of some summer doing the Northwest Passage? I love salmon!! Yum!
I recall the day that I KNEW I COULD DO IT! I had set three sport shrimp pots, four sport crab pots and went jigging for Rocks, Reds and or Halibut. I caught three Rock cod, Two Red Snapper and one 80 lbs Halibut. Cleaned them and went to check the pots. The "shrimp" pot were unbelievable.... I did not catch "shrimp", I caught 185 PRAWN ( They were all 10 to 12 inches long). The Crab Pots were just as impressive. Four sport pots had garnered fifty five legal Dungeness crab and my mate dug a five gallon pale of cockle. We ate like kings for a week. And tried for more. A month later we had salmon and a goat! Blessed are those that try!!!!
@ಠ益ಠ ಠ_ಠ Most of the halibut was froze and everything else was eaten by us, friends and family. never did that well with the shrimp pots again, but they did routinely catch.
He y guys I am really impressed with the way you respect, prepare and cook your food. It really bugs me to see people cook food and use it as a plaything like throwing a pie into someone's face , a disgusting waste. Love the charcoal Magma barbecue. You use hickory to smoke - we use Manuka chips, fabulous flavor. You call it Tea Tree in Tassie. Of course the bees make our world famous Manuka Honey from the same tree. Look forward to your next vid. Kiwi beekeeper.
We will definitely give that a go. Have you used other myrtles or just Manuka? Manuka is also a district in our Capital Territory. We also like casuarina in the north. a bit strong though.
It's like you've found your very own version of Bonnie Doon . . . we very much liked the vibe of the thing (from two non-Aussies who were fortunate enough to get the references!).
Gee, I love your life style, do you have room for an old 73 male Vietnam vet in your boat ha ha, jokes aside, your presentation of Australia is superb , keep us in awe, THANK YOU

Nothing better than harvesting tasty ferals. Good for the tummy good for the environment.
Nice ♥️👍

I'm so retired that I only know the day of the week by Pascale's voice and your smiles.
I thought it was only me...
I have a similar issue, but its because I'm working so much...
This made me smile... congrats on your retirement!
You guys are just the sweetest kindest people ever, i wish i could be like you. I just love listening to you explain just about anything and that's just not me.

serenity now! serenity now!
How’s the serenity? So much serenity
"How's the serenity"...
This ep is going straight to the pool room. Loved it can't wait to get down there in my own water home.
Every shot of that wreck in the bay, that bit of structure away from the shore looks like a little runabout with a couple fishermen standing aboard.
Guys.I paddled the entire East Coast of Tassie from Bridport in Bass Strait to Recerche Bay in May 2006.Your videos are bringing back some incredible memories of a magic experience with my brother and late Dad.Thanks so much.Just love your channel and miss those oysters and Fortescue Bay.Ross - Jervis Bay.
Cheers Ross. Its fantastic that even though your dad can't still be with you, he lives on in great memories. Thanks for dropping us a line mate.

Life is to enjoy the good things while you can.
I am so in awe of you two! I want to be just like you when I grow up, but I'm already 65. ;)
Keep working on it, mate!
Justin Stubbs , young whippersnapper!
Pascale, you look terrific in that awesome sweater! Another great episode you two!
Beautiful country, looks a lot like the Pacific Northwest, USA. A lot of big trees, moss, rocks and underbrush. Verry green.
Thanks. Dan R
Love the Neil young playing and the fact that massive oysters are a pest!!!
Pretty awesome. Thanks for all the love, sorry we don't have time to reply very often just now. Pretty busy
my island hugs for showing it so well
You two really are masters at survival,and”how’s the serenity”indeed👍That is a beaut little bay,a real supermarket for freerangers
Tassie #1 for bush tucker
After Pascale telling us how cold it is she dives in the water with bare legs. Makes me shiver just thinking about how cold that water must be.
Thank you for another excellent video Troy and Pascale. Always love when Pascale is cooking!!
All the best,
Norm in Arizona
Pascal is going something different! Looking good!!
11:35 watching Mirool be a goof had me hysterical for some reason 😂
You guys have great knowlege and skills base. The Movie The Castle, one of Aussie Icons. Great Viewing.
Troy! Hey, Aussie Brother of the Smoke! :) Dude, to keep the "soaked wood chips" from bursting into !"flames"!

Fully get the Castle references. Great movie
Greatest film ever made. Budget for that film was less than a small yacht. It’s perfection.
Great ep!
You guys are bloody pros! A fantastic episode as always, thanks for inspiring newbie yachties like us ❤
Ok this is video number 8 of my "I want to buy a Free Range Sailing hoody" campaign
Cheers
Matt
You guys always brighten my day and are an inspiration - thx for another great episode!
Love your video guys ALWAYS ............. so thriling ! thanks for sharing your lives

You two are getting better and better at film content . Keep it up .
Some beautiful looking fish!
Interesting. Pacific Oysters from here to Tasmania, eucalyptus from there to here. Fair trade. The rap about fire adaptations was really informative. Thanks. The destructive fire in the Oakland, Ca. hills on the east side of San Francisco Bay was due to homes built in and around them, with no clearance. Scenic, shady and explosive....
Eating good and being out in the wild and watching the sunsets, sounds like a good idea to me.
Oysters, Neil Young and a secluded bay. Doesn't get much better than that. Some cold Vodka and the magic starts.. Cheers from Canada
Very cool information regarding the trees and benefiting from fire. Great video!
Thanks!
I like oysters smoked as well as mackerel :) Those are HUGE. Great vid of beautiful Tasmania
Just watched it🇬🇧 when the copper said ,put the gates round the back!!! I had to stop the film ,creased me up cheers 😂👍
Craggy you two, our love grows with every Free Range episode. Thank you ❤️🤟
@1:45; Ha ha, love the little squeak! So cute... ;-)
some great diving around Fortescue bay!
Beautiful spot. A group of us camped there last year and paddled the wreck, and out to the rock tower on the point in our surf skis. Stunning scenery.
I look forward to your videos. I also love how you not only make them interesting and fun but informative with historical tidbits.. very sneaky you two.. love it. Thanks
Absolutely loved this video. Salad and serenity. Everybody does videos, but it's what you do with them. 😉👍👍👍🇦🇺
lol
Very Beautiful ☺👍
You've convinced me to go to Tasmania! Loved the soundscape you recorded on the hike
Another great video, thanks again. I don't live too far away from that bay. Plenty to choose from in beautiful Tas, but don't tell anyone. Regards Steve.

We get quite a few comments saying we are dropping peoples blood pressure. We might have to apply to the AMA for funding!
What heaven, fishing, smoking fish on the boat, and nature. Thank you for showing me what is possible. You are appreciated.
Wow amazing places! Love birds down under! Like the cockatoos video. That is a paradise. You guys make one dream good! Such a therapy, sorry can't thank you enough!
Can't believe i haven't seen you guys before love your content
Welcome! If you see our early videos, there is quite a bit more remote area fishing and adventures.
Great video. Thank you.🌬⛵😎
I'm always entertained by your adventures, thank you so much for sharing... also Pascale is quite the beauty and so stinking sweet to listen to.... Troy you are a lucky man, and I know you know that! lol... God Bless you two, and keep you safe !
I'm going to have to go find the Castle now. Thanks!

Another first-rate episode, thank you !
Amazine Anchorage. If you were able to plant a garden ashore and fish from the sea, One could stay there forever.
Serenity! Tranquility! Wowsome Episode!. Thanks Guys!
Spectacular! You visit places in the world I will never get to, but I get to see them and your adventures. Thank you. :)
Love the oyster
