Camel Encounter Chaos: Water Point Woes in the Outback
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- Join Danny and Jack on a day filled with unexpected twists as they set out to maintain crucial water points on the station. However, their plans take a turn as curious camels keep crossing their path, leading to a series of delays and challenges. Watch the struggle against the clock and the camels, only to be faced with an unforeseen vehicle issue at the end. It's a day of Outback unpredictability!
When the camels were running in front of the water tank, all I could think was don't shoot the tank. Love watching your day to day work. Very fun to watch. Thanks to the wife for saving the day. Good woman there. Cheers from Utah USA.
Danny is a man of few words isnt he!
Danny is such an asset. Would love to know more about him, maybe a one on one interview?
I would love to know more about Danny too. Some carefully thought out questions, some he could have input to beforehand. Let him tell a bit about his family's history, the country he comes from, what he loves (and does not) about working with the rest of you mob.
Clearly you trust him 'going bush' with you on the back Jack, chasing camels. The way he weaves his way through the bush, is really skillful.
It's okay that he is seemingly shy. My partner of 23years is an Aboriginal man. He's not one for a lot of words, doesn't need to sell or prove himself to anyone. Will speak when it's important enough to him.
@@permissiontoshine i camped with 4 local friends 2007 learnt a heap stuff there not much different to anyone just brought up with skills we whiteys lose in time with technology if they where in the city they be amazed what we do also 20/20 depends on where you live all good life stuff time to hit the road giddy up
Made my 1st spear No tools bent wire till it snapped 4 bits tied to small tree with fishing line caught 3lb mud crab stingrays catsfish etc 1st try 1am on the beach we camped
@@markissboi3583 that is so cool hearing this. Definitely hitting the road, getting back out into country, is a wonderful thing.
Danny with a microphone? Would like to hear your interactions
Great stuff Jack showing hows it really is. Gotta add a floating piece of wood in the troughs will allow the birds to clamber up,dry out and fly off without fouling.
Everyone at Burris HQ, “Hey have you seen the latest camel apocalypse video from Jack out the back?!”
Sounds like they could do some product testing in harsh conditions for you @burrisopticscompany
Hi Jack, Danny is such a wonderful worker a great Stockman pretty quiet but he’s always thinking. Keep up the good work. Love your videos guys
Jack I've been watching you guys fir a week or so now. I live in NSW Hunter Valley. A little ove two years ago an accident rendered me crippled but not out of action. I do however have a lot of time on my hands so TH-cam has become my go to. So glad I've found y'all and your amazing family. Cheers for the new year. Straight shooting and a prosperous New Year to you all. ❤🎉🎉❤
hey your in my backyard im in newi, hope ya goin good mate
Hope things are well mate
Danny is the man a great stockman it is not a good job doing pest control but it has to be done well done both of you.
Recently found your channel and it's great. You guys work very hard to make a living in a very tough environment. Pest control is a very necessary part of it. It's a shame your government isn't very supportive with your firearms needs. Bet they make sure they collect every Cent of Tax though!!
It seems like you are a person who likes hunting, I am also a person who is passionate about hunting like you
Bet their bodyguards have semi auto handguns.
I feel the same way you do we need our firearms to save are live stock.
The people in goverment said no i was not a good shooter and they never seen me use a firearm ever.
Danny is cool doesn't say much...everything takes place at a leisurely pace
That was a hell of a shot Danny made there. At least 60 yards running all out and he balled him up.
The sad part of this is, that you will be culling horses and camels for the rest of your days Jack, WA is so vast, they will never stop wandering on to your property looking for water, as long as you live.
Yes it's sad and unnecessary
@@davidstewart7858excuse me? How is it unnecessary? Explain
There is 😮markets for camels and horses.
I've never seen a place that makes high visibility orange look like partial camouflage 😂
The multiple camera angles on that one water point was really cool to see. Great video! The biggest invasive we have in Utah is probably the starling. It’s hard to imagine having a camel infestation.
Good content again cob. Nice flash from the missus also. Good work 😉 🍺
Danny doesn't know where to look. Poor bastard 😉
Cute bum Jasmine!
It is hard work keeping feral animals in check. God bless you .
I was on a station where they had troughs and we used a half round 10” bristle brush with a long handle. It worked quite well and broke the muck up so it would drain.
No camels there though.
Thanks for the time you take to share what you do. 🤟☮️🇦🇺😎👍

You poor buggers need all the help you can get out there. You and danny both are doing an amazing job.
M8t , I have been lurking eager to find out what type of brew you guys where hiding in your stubbie cooler. Finally and thank God you are a fourexer. 👍
Most hard working work hardened Aussies can handel a cold 4X - your a legend Matey.
I miss the ouback, shooting stars, the billy on the fire….
All the best from camel and fly free Norway,
Helge
Thanx
Never say to Danny..'.Mick Dundee.'..or he will just walk off into the bush...lol
Have you seen the floating blocks you can get for the troughs to help animals birds from drowning and contaminating the stock water.
Head over to the Pilbara, plenty of cruisers flat decks over there parked up at Newman airport and im sure one of the mining companies wouldnt even know it was missing ! LOL
Mining companies = NO Cops, National Parks = YES !!
LOL. There's got to be a lot out there. Those old workhorses are THE BEST.
You know i can see Danny doing stand up comedy one day.
You should try leaving a few copper pipe pieces in the trough to keep the alge from growing
Yea we use bugged eye gold fish and sucker catfish like in aquariums but heat may make it no worth it but cooper will definitely do it
Danny is the true MVP at Prenti Downs
I agree. Silent but deadly.
Funny I just cliked like on 308 ! I have an old 70's Remington 788 in 308. One of the cheapest fifles they made. Still accurate & never lets me down .
Huh, my first ever first youtube comment. I'm going to enjoy this video! Thanks for the upload
Danny could talk your leg off!!
Question 1, Is this the dry season when nothing grows for the cattle to eat?
2, So different to farming in Devon UK, when at the moment all we have is rain and boggy soil.
The only pests we would like to control are the planning officers and nosey members of the public.
Danny....Running headshots!
good honest video, Ya need to put a Mic on Danny coz he sure does talk quiet lmao, well yeah you were very correct about the culling, its not hunting, it is very brutal and hard to watch but it is very neccasary work, in a perfect world there would be good money to round them up for meat either locally or export, would be another source of income maybe, but i understand the logistics and cost of doing that to. Cheers
Great work🎉
U would not believe my name is danny and nick name is jack and have driven a grader for wayne linky cheers great Chanel danny jack
Thank goodness for Jasmine & the girls, hope they got their swim in the end.
"The gloves.....yeah we were colour coded." 😂😂 Correct, yours were stained with red dust just like you!
This is mesmerizing, thank you for sharing your life.
this guy is a bloody legend, army of dead camales
Would love more interactions with Danny or is he a man of few words ?
A man of VERY few words.☺😁
Gday Jack made,
I have an old 75 series that still runs that you can have mate.
Cheers
lol.. I also caught Danny looking over shoulder for oncoming traffic, and fuck I laughed :D
Nice update and upload
Cheers
Jim
Sometime in the future gold prospector cussing "another dam cartridge case" I allways wonder why they seem to find them in the empty wild spaces 😄are you allowed to reload ? as this would be a money saver
Danny is all business 🤓❤️
You should try to get hold of an Inios grenadier and give that a good test
It's Camel-ocide ! 😆
Do the wild dogs eat the dead camels? Does Danny say much when the camera is off?
No beer in the Engel ?? At least Jasmine saved your arse !! That's why you marry the good ones !!
Привет из далёкой России !
Удачи в борьбе за свою землю !
Given you've got local WiFi at the water station, you might be able to use some cheap smart moisture sensors like the ones people use for alerting when their plants need to be watered. If you put a few at different levels of the tank you could at least confirm if the float level matches up with the sensor reading. You could also put a smart electrical load sensor like the Kill-a-watt on it to read the voltage from the pump.
Hot DAMN. Your one lucky guy. She is beautiful.
Good as gold mate
I was blown away when I read about feral camel over population being so high and that the amount basically doubles every 9 years approximately. A non native specie doing damage to native species in both plant and animal.
After the culling what happens to the carcasses? It has to be another massive issue.
That's crazy how the camels bent those gates like that! Also I thought you left the carcasses for scavengers to eat, not burn them.
What beautiful country! But you can see why every mouthful of feed is important and the camels have to go.
Man Danny's a talker ... :)
🤣Let him be himself. I think we'll see his off camera personality emerge more over time. Hope so. Still, I like him as he is.
All good and well to eradicate the feral pests great content just wondering is there any chance if your up and about sometime on a clear cloudless night you could film the sky/ stars must be awesome over there
🤞🙏
That would be great to see. Desert skys, away from the homestead, are truly amazing out that way.
Dannys the man around here
Jack, you just said Biltong!!!!!!!😆yes, i am from Africa and then of course south
Hi Jack, love your videos. You give a great perspective of outback life and running a cattle station thourghly enjoy watching.
Danny is such a great asset and much experience, when your doing the cattle yarding, marking and tagging etc I notice Danny is never wearing high vis clothing, is it not company policy go wear, it's so easy to pick out on film who's around the yard, Jasmin, Tom, Ant, you.
Keep up your great work, slowly catching up on all your videos.
Great video and Great People.
As an American I have not seen a pump rifle like this. Had no idea Australia had such a feral camel problem very interesting videos.
Yeah australian laws make really really hard to get semi autos you have to have a category D license to have a semi auto he likely has category b or c but since he is in the WA he likely can't get any higher category.
However if he is a primary producer he can have extra guns
@@CaspianSea-wt5kw Interesting, he also stated that you can't use handguns to finish off the camels, which I thought was strange.
Yeah no one except the government can have cat D in WA.
Not even primary producers.
Unfortunately California residents have a similar rifle mod for AR 15. I haven't seen this style for Ar10 (this caliber) before.
Danny has a photographic memory
great team .. danny avoids the punched tyres.. ur correct..
Add a water level monitor in the tank. It will tell you exact level. It’s called Tank Scan
Great video. Mahindra all day long💪
Use a car washer/ wiper on the solar panel. Dirty panels loose a lot of “output”, often worse than clouds. Like your show. I Spent years in mining up in the Pilbara.
Geoff
Just found your channel and it’s great. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏽👍🏽
An amazing video of the problem of the law of unintended consequences following the introduction of species where they are not part of the ecosystem. Donkeys, rabbits, horses, swine can cause real havoc where they have no natural predators.
Just found your channel and lovin' it. Can you make a video showing you IT equipment ? Particularly interesedt in what you have going on at the homestead for the operation...hardware and software.wmy wheels are spinning and from what I've seen so far you've got various bits and pieces in place...interested to know where you think the gaps are.
You guys are hell of a marksman
4 X a beer? 🤣 Nah mate. Great Northan
your life would make a fun video game
Thanks
If you add a few pieces of copper fittings or copper pipe, the algae growth will be significantly reduced. I use it for my pool and it helps reduce the amount of chemicals.
Warm and humid as ever in Geraldton 80% at to 30 degrees and cloudy days . Its not a wonder their is not storms out your way!
wow, some cameltoe near the end
You mentioned using a .22 magnum, can you use a .22mag handgun? Or does the legislation mean no handguns at all,, no matter what caliber?
I have a Keltec PMR30 .22mag pistol & I absolutely love it
The Keltec is actually the one I have in mind! It would be ideal.
We are allowed a revolver on our primary producer licence, but it has to be larger than a 38, but I'm not allowed to use it outside of yards.
On a club licence you are allowed any pistol (Inc semi auto) with a capacity limit of 10 rounds. But we aren't allowed to use those anywhere other than a range.
@@jack_out_the_back Thats just crazy. I wish all the political figures would just take a field trip & spend a day with you. The last thing you need is restrictions....your job is hard enough as it is. Much respect brother, keep at it.
Ive always found it interesting that countries have different shovel shapes from the US.
Great episode! Looking forward to the next adventure. Danny is a man of few words, my kinda guy!
I remember breaking down at Warton, and we didn't have any comments back then. I walked for 9 hours to the house .
Just like a friend who used to keep a couple head of bison “If a bison wants to get out, it’s getting out……”
Hi Jack
Great insight to real life on the farm and what bore pump do you use please. Cheers Nige
Hi Nige, we use Taifu pumps (TuHorse) for most of our bores.
I just started watching your channel, and I think that you are a bit of a masochist at heart trying to raise cattle in that country.
Thanks
How long does it take for a camel to " break down " in such an arid landscape ?
Have you guys looked at recording the voltage levels of the batteries and remotely monitoring it? Could be graphed out for historical insights. You could overlay that with your weather data to see the impacts of overcast days and such.
Jack, OMG, was this the adult-rated episode? I'm amazed the missus didn't take you out after including the video of the dress!.. :)
Love the channel guys
Good luck trying to find a landcruiser and not paying 60k for it 🤪
Do you burn the carcass? Or do the dingos get em?
I’m sure you’ve answered this 1000 times but what do you do with the dead animals
That’s some ptsd right there.
Danny does say much !!!
Danny is becoming a superstar
Hey mate, easiest way for water flow checking is install a IoT flow sensor to the output side of the pump. Super simple and will run on WiFi.
Save the water you dump for lure, bait sation, just a thought,
My first time seeing camel control, pretty cool
Could You use Drones to Survey Water Points and Look for Camels?
Just a thought but you mentioned that you could see the dipstick on the tank via a camera.... Is there any way you could rig up a small water wheel in the flow and paint four black and white segments on the side of it facing the camera ? That way you could see flow, if any, and actually come to recognise good flow over poor flow. Could be as basic as possible, no need for complicated especially out there.
I'm surprised to see the camels and the cattle don't scratch on the solar panels and screw them up. We have problems with cattle breaking a lot of stuff at the water holes. Everything has to be protected with fencing and what not.
0:57 he looks like one of the guys on the movie “ crocodile Dundee” 🙂
do you sell the hides or any part of them or does it all go to waste/just dingo food?
Just curious. would it be beneficial to put a roof over the over the open troughs, to help with evaporation and algae
I thought the same thing. Don't know how practical it would be, or if the cost/benefit analysis would stack up.
Can't you export these overseas like other livestock?
You cant even transport them through the next fence!
I am very new here. You are invested with camels! How do the cattle get water if there is a fench around the water holes? Danny is such a caracter!
