  • Im solo camping near a stunning river cascade and plenty of bush cooking on the campfire.
    Camping solo is so peaceful when it's just you on you own. The surrounds of where Im camping becomes my entertainment. The sounds of the river and the local birds in the trees, make for a very relaxing solo camping trip.
    Over the couple of days on my solo river camping trip, i have cooked amazing meals on the campfire. You cant beat campfire cooking for flavour.
    I tried my luck with a spot of fishing, and without any luck i had to head back to camp and cook up lunch on the campfire.
    The fish were very active during certain times of day. I just couldn't get lucky enough to catch a fish.
    I head to explored the area through the bush and up and down rock walls to find new locations beside the river flowing through the area.
    Camping beside a river is really nice, and it's even better when you have a solo river camping experience.

    Mate ... this is buy far my favourite type of videos, no thumping music, no carry on, not another build serious. These type of vids I feel like I am right there with you, having a cold one, listening to the sounds of the bush. Keep making these vids mate. 👍👍

    Got me stuffed why, but cooking a GOOD meal in the bush is one of the most enjoyable experiences possible. You see all the camping things with 'make things easy', but no, the effort is worth it and to do it all on your own with only the sounds of birds and a stream and the crackle of the fire is truly 'sensational'!

    • @timbates4wdadventures
      @timbates4wdadventures  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gday Peter,
      Simple cooking gear can make the best campfire meals.
      The serenity was amazing.
      Thanks heaps for your feedback mate.
      Cheers Tim.

    Fantastic vid Tim. Nice and relaxed, beauty in every direction and nothing but the sounds of the bush and the fire to contend with. That’s award winning content I reckon. 👍🍺

    Good stuff Timmy, you're doing it very well.
    One wouldn't call the king your uncle, so to speak.
    Now, gonna get on your case again . . . that, or track you down somewhere and put you straight.
    You are a right hander Timmy. Your dominant side is your right side - it's where all your fine motor skills, touch and strength are. For that, you cast with your right hand, hold the rod in your right hand and fight any fish with your right hand too. Winding, is merely a mechanical thing where none of those fine motor skills are needed - it's done with your left hand.
    What you are doing is like putting the bacon on top of the eggs in your sandwich - it's all cack-handed. 😂😉
    Can you change the handle of that reel to the other side? It'll make things much easier for you if you can.
    For everything else, you are coming along very nicely young man, well done . . ha ha! 😃 😃 😃

      G'day Bill,
      On the fishing topic.
      Ive not done a lot of fishing over the past 57 years. But, i ve always had my fishing rods set up how it is now.
      It's comfortable for me, i appreciate your feedback. But, think i'll stay with the current setup.
      Thanks mate for your feedback.
      Cheers Tim.

    G’day Tim,as much as I love going bush with the family or with the mates I still love getting away by myself.More people should try going bush by themselves and experience the serenity and enjoyment of being alone with nature.How lucky are we!Cheers, Rob.

    The way you film your videos is something elese. Always getting great shots to tell a story of the trip. Every video im slowly learning a few new angles & how to film stuff out bush. How goods the campsites at Kellys lane. Stopped in there a few weeks ago and it was so peaceful just sitting there listening to the birds and water. Keen to load up again at easter and do a decent couple days up the high country 👍

      Canada would be an amazing place to check out though. The mountains and river systems, would be stunning.
      Thanks mate for your reply.
      Cheers Tim.
