    I’m fairly certain Kit could get millions of subscribers just by laying his camera on the reef like he did in this video. It’s always mesmerizing

    Having a bit of a shitty morning, your videos are a valuable reminder the world is a beautiful place. If you want "side channel" content, a gopro tied to a brick and left till it runs out would be a lovely thing to have on in the background.
    As amazing as all the boating/camping/fishing stuff is, I appreciate the hubbub of a family kitchen around dinnertime. Adventures are great, but home can be pretty decent to. Love your work mate.

      To get more subscribers, he needs to catch more fish, not only one or two fish, he needs to catch at least 6 our 7 fish

    The flat bread tacos looked amazingly good! My mouth was watering when you took that first bite! I'm with you on the mayonnaise! Can't skip out on that! Looks like the reef is coming around again. It should be just fine. I love your videos my brother from another mother! Cheers!

    @VictoriaWargaming 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Those plants at the 35:40 mark make excellent fire arrows. we used to break them off at the base, put some electrical tape around the base to prevent them splitting, sink a large nail into the bushy part and soak them in petrol. Launched with homemade bows using weed trimmer wire and bendy sticks.
    Then it was fire arrow fights at night :) and to chase the icecream van out of our neighbourhood.

    After careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that Rod has the best job in the world! The warm south Pacific, islands to yourself, all you can eat seafood, camping wherever and whenever you want (no reservations, no crowds, no rangers), fishing and snorkeling DAILY, no garbage, no rush hour, AND no BOSSES! ❤❤❤

    Love the content mate. Future reference always check out a hole with a wobbegong in it. I used to dive for crays commercially and that was usually a dead giveaway that a cray was inside, the wobbegong is parked up waiting to ambush octopus coming after the crayfish. I don't know if the crays take up residence with the shark or the other way around but it was better than 90% hit rate of finding them together.

    Thanks for the vid, Rod. It's always nice to wake up here in Perth and see there's a new RoKkiT KiT vid up, ha ha! Loved the underwater footage, loved the scenery on those islands, and loved that you brought the squid back home to share with the family. Awesome! 😊 I do have to say I miss the good old thong-hunting days instead of bringing your normal shoes, ha ha! Those rocks are sharp though, so all good. Looking forward to the next one!

  • @audioadventurer6892
    @audioadventurer6892 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like the way you're leaving the camera on the bottom for a minute and letting the reef go back to normal around it. Should find some nemos and give us a long butchers.
    45:48 oh you found him.
    Another good spot to leave a camera is in front of some cleaner wrasse.

    Bro... you scuba'ing in the reefs only to nail lunch with the spear gun is nothing short of ASMR. So full of life, even tho the corals might not be doing too great in all places. Don't stop doin' these.

  • @intricatexploration
    @intricatexploration 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love your videos Rod. As an experienced freediver I feel compelled to give you a good bit of advice regarding diving alone particularly considering the majority of accidents occur whilst spear fishing. As you perform repeat dives the blood will accumulate CO2 volume and O2 will decrease. This is known as hypoxia. In my training we were taught to wait a good few minutes and up to ten minutes of solid breathe ups before repeat dives. This allows CO2 to dissipate normally. I had one close call performing several repeats on a line to 20 metres whereby in the last 5 metre ascent came very close to blackout. It came without warning and from then on I've always been very careful. Take care out there bro 🤙🏼

At least we are the lucky ones who get to see great content from the heart. That's what matters to me.. Thank you bro for giving us your all.. I'm not a rich man or I would sponsor you, I just can't. Thanks for the great content.

    Damn, I LOVE Islands.... My favorite place to camp when I'm up in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Funny enough I met an Australian guy the last time I was up there, he'd been coming up with his American friend since the 70s. I'd love to see you do a video up there, unfortunately (or fortunately tbh) it's kind of a hidden gem way up north in Minnesota so it's far away from where most fishing youtubers will find themselves, ha.

    A little baking soda and water solution (paste) works well on those midget bites and reduces the itching almost immediately...
