I am shocked to see so much devastation. We just marked the 11th anniversary here in Japan, of the tsunami that hit our coast. Sending heartfelt wishes for strength and courage to those of you who are suffering.
good... I was inspired by your camping, I'm a beginner who started bushcraft solo man in Indonesia my channel is very lacking. waiting for his presence. "feed back bro .."
You are an honorable man/human being. One of my favorites on TH-cam. Stay frosty bubba, glad to hear you and your fam are OK. We are also going through floods here in The US and the state of Vermont. No where near 14.5 meters but still nasty. 14.5 meters sounds like a fantasy but I believe every word. Just crazy, now we all know where you have been.
Something bad happening and just watching, something bad happening and actually doing something. That's food for inspiration. Kudos. Also thanks for sharing another fine episode of the series.
I`m glad you showed the world what complete and utter devastation the Northern Rivers, Lismore and Eastern Seaboard towns have suffered... As a local myself, thank you for your efforts to get essentials to those who needed it most... Keep up the fantastic work and channel... :)
Sorry to see the flooding was so hard on your area, the forces of nature can be tough at times but it tends to bring out the best in people, helping each other then working hard to build it back good as new. Really enjoyed the island camping trip as I always do. It's very cold here, still all iced up, and I was immersed in your world of warm sun and water, and the sound of the ocean. It was wonderful, thank you! Take care.
I (would) say, "yeah, it must be nice being able to live his lifestyle", rather than working 70 hours a week, I (would say that), yet I'm old enough to understand that regardless of what you think of another's life or how much you may covet their lifestyle, they have life issues as well and it is always better to at least be thankful for what you have in this life as an individual. I am happy with my life and I am happy his joyous seeming life can add even (more) happiness to my own. Thank you to the few hard working TH-camrs out there that I subscribe to. Most perhaps believe you live the "easy" life. There is no such thing as easy, so thank you. This gives me an escape and an extension into a different world. So awesome bro. Thank you. 🙏 🤲
I was so worried about you and your fam, I am so glad to see you are alright, I hope your extended family is as well. it is really hard to see all of this destruction from afar and not be able to help. and that you were able to help as well... thank you for the update, I come from a very poor Caribbean island that has been constantly facing these types of climate based extreme weather events for the past 60y and I know we would be even more destitute but for the help we get... so its great to see the community getting together to help!
Got to love how you self taught catch and cook chefs can create something special with very little just the basics at hand. From the catch to the filleting, to the prep, to the cooking and then the presentation you are definitely in the top 5 in my book and 1 of these is a professional chef.
Hard graft by all the volunteers but very full filling I am sure. Great Aussie spirit to come together like that. Honestly I did not realise how hard those areas were hit.
Only 2 minutes in but had to say good on ya brother your such a humble good guy one day I'd like to buy you a beer and shake your hand! Cheers for what you do brother bloody legend 👍👍🍻
I've lived through devastating floods both in BC and Manitoba here in Canada, so the heartbreaking scenes of devastation you showed us are eerily familiar. Loved seeing the community mobilize for those in need
I've watched the various disasters over the years happening to to your country Rod. Between the fires, floods, droughts, heat and cyclones disrupting your lives, the common constant thread, was the absolute sense of community, sharing and helping that these situations bring to life. Born and raised for 16 years in FNQ, I'm happy to see that the values of empathy and compassion haven't been lost over the years. As I sit in the safety of my recliner here in Ohio, watching you guys do exactly what I did in my youth 40 odd years ago, I'm struck by the old saying of the more things change, the more they stay the same. Despite the huge technological advances over time, we're still just some blokes wanting to escape the rat race for a bit, and having a flick or a spear session, and appreciating what nature offers us. I'm already looking forward to your next post. Cheers mate!
Man you guys have so many Pickups(Utes) that us Americans dream of...all those 79 series...🤤 Great video. Truly amazing how the community can come together when in need the most. Also loved the catch and cook...the passion and humbleness in your videos I can feel it through the screen. Cheers from Northern California
The wet season monsoon rains arrived and left a trail of flood damage and destruction. To all affected best for the future , best of luck as well . Best wishes from a person born in a cyclone in the 60's and used to moving house after the floods and starting over many times . So glad my parents decided to buy an old Qld'er house on the hill opposite the old wooden Baron river bridge north of Cairns city centre. Great video mate love watching your videos on the island groups, keep safe Rokkit best wishes and regards , best for you and family.
I’ve been lurking for the past week or two wondering if you and your family were doing okay. Glad to see you are and mad props as always for the relief help. Some devastating scenes there but love the video.
Good to see you out and about, prayers go out to Australia flooding casualties. Looks like you lost a lot of weight since your last video. I hope you and your family are doing well during this crazy weather. Stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas
Yaesss! Always a good day with new videos from you mate! Sorry to hear about what you mainlanders are going through. Sending safety and protection your way from Tassy!
Good on you for helping your community. It's amazing how quickly a community comes together in an emergency. Recently experienced that with a massive fire in my area. Also, I've fallen in love with this little island. haha.
Hey Rod true blue mate thanks for helping out those in need and you are still helping with the great content for many of us that can not be out there much appreciated buddy
Great cooking as always but, yeh nah, white wine is the go with that sauce. Also, time-lapse outro is a winner. Would love to see the whole sunset ‘till it goes dark 😎
Sorry to see all the flooding in your area man. That's rough. Being part of the solution is the only way to go. This year I'm going to try and focus time on my camping trips to eating better, rather than my default of steak and potatoes or backpacking meals. I'm not much of a fisherman but damn, if your videos don't make me want to do some catch and cooks. Keep up the great work.
Hello from British Columbia Canada. 🇨🇦👍👋🤔♥️🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧bad floods here in November so much devastation, weird weather every where, sometimes we dont get any snow, I'm in the southwest on the coast, lots of snow and freezing.🌡🏝 nice to watch😍😍
So sad to see all the distruction rod glad to see you and your family are ok its great to see people come together to help those in need at this terrible time your a good person and it wasnt a supprise you were in there helping with the others i hope and pray yous all come out of this disaster and get back to normality best wishes from belfast northern ireland
It's good to see a community come together and help each other .Thank you for showing us. And on the other hand Why don't you take A few butterfly jigs with you on your Next trip I guarantee you'll probably catch something with those👍
Hey Rod. Another channel I watch, is a guy called Chad Zukerman. He goes full Primitive in a desert somewhere in the States. He eats the prickly pear fruit as well. His trick is to burn off those little prickles. After seeing him and now you eat and say how nice they are, I’m keen to try them myself. Although we don’t have them here in Tas. Great to see you back doing the Solo camp, catch and cook gig. Love it. Rob, Tasmania
Was expecting a catch and cook. Instead it starts with a heart warming humanitarian effort. Humans helping humans. So grateful for this video.
I am shocked to see so much devastation. We just marked the 11th anniversary here in Japan, of the tsunami that hit our coast. Sending heartfelt wishes for strength and courage to those of you who are suffering.
Amazing to see the community come together to help those in need. Heart goes out to those affected.
Heart breaking to see the destruction. But heart healing to see all the togetherness of folk like you mucking in. Stay safe brother 🙏🏻👍🏻
good...

Yeah, having been on the receiving end of these floods, it was still almost impossible to believe what I was seeing.
Thankyou so much for your assistance in our beautiful little area of condong, we all really appreciate what everyone has done.
Your a legend mate.
Something bad happening and just watching, something bad happening and actually doing something.
That's food for inspiration. Kudos.

I'm not sure it brings out the best in people, I think it just brings out the best people.
What's happening is heart breaking but the community coming together is beautiful.

Rod, so sad to the destruction. Good on you for helping out. Nice fish/camp.
its so amazing to see what others consider "cloudy" or "murky"! I would love to have water where I can see more than 3 inches!
Hard graft by all the volunteers but very full filling I am sure. Great Aussie spirit to come together like that. Honestly I did not realise how hard those areas were hit.
It was kind of you to help out. God bless you!
Your artistry shows in how your dishes are constructed. Looked delicious. Be well.

Are you talking about the recent flooding in the fraser valley?
@@davidr1777 yup and the Red River flooding in Winnipeg back in the 90's. It was bad were I lived.
