Very handy video mate. Have been trying to work out how much I should or should not be packing away for trips like this. Still pretty green to all this so is a good start to refine what I take on the big trips. Cheers 🤙
You forgot the most vital piece of equipment Alex, a flask of single malt for emergencies or non emergencies. Nice vid mate, I'll definitely be looking into one of those emergency beacon thingies for when I'm out fishing hill lochs. Cheers!! ATB Chris
That was terrific. You are super organized which is no surprise to me. My only criticism is that your garage is way to neat and clean. Lost a giant snook today. Smoked it, ripped line into the mangroves and broke me off all in about 30 seconds. Hopefully beaches open for walkers so I can go hunt them on the beach. Tarpon are showing up. Cheers. You and Gareth are the best.
Totally admire the effort you put in on making such awesome videos and the goat tracks that you conquer even those that aren’t apparent. I like doing similar stuff here in Tassy & sometimes involve kayaking, motorbikes or just a lot of walking. Cheers Bro appreciate your dedication and hope to meet up one day
Totally understandable that you forgot the aeropress...it's likely in service on your kitchen counter!!! I too love to have my Crocs when in the backcountry. Here in Canada we call them Dorks for obvious reasons, lol. Stay healthy!
Great video but your garage is entirely to clean! Impressive. Also, I see, in previous videos, you use flint and steel i assume because of the wet. Also what to you soak your cotton fire starter in ? Thx. Dave
Hey Alex great video. What brand is your sleeping bag compression sack? At the moment I am just jamming mine into a dry sack to mush it in my bag and keep it dry but it is just using up that little bit of extra room. Cheers Keep the great videos comming.
Nice. Curious what kind of weight you come in at excluding food? You have camera gear, I only take a GoPro. but with full wading gear and what not it's hard to get below 40 lbs. any idea what kind of wait you hit generally?
Even when you making video's on the fly still great content. Just one thing great to see you have the PLB can you reach it without taking your pack off I asked Garath the same thing when he showed he had one with the terrain you guy's cover if the worst happens and you fall down a steep hill/cliff and can't get your pack off to set it off. with have your fishing bum bag and it been so small could it fit in there
@@TrippinOnTrout I have activated a PLB here in Australia when a mate got injured fly fishing. Best $350 I have every spent according to my mate. HEMS pilots and crew are the best after cops of course. Only owned it for 3 weeks before I set it off in the Aussie Alps.
follow up on drinking water. Do you always filter water or ever drink direct from streams? Does your filter water bottle serve to filter everything you drink on overnights? great video by the way.
Cheers dude, never forget the aeropress! What is it you do to your rod tube to secure it with accessory cord/carabiner? Is that to keep it on the pack?
Hey Alex, Do you hike in your wading boots? If they are sized to accommodate neoprene booties, does that create problems for your feet on some of the rough bushwhacks you do?
Great vid. I think if you add a gun and ammo you'll be set for 25 years pretty much anywhere. Love your chanel. Tough sheeeeet here in New Jersey. All state parks and lakes are closed. Hang in there bro.
Alex if you use your earplugs, don't you have to listen for creatures of the night? I don't think you have bears and I know you have NO snakes on the island because I went to NZ for 15 days but what about wild cats or boar pigs? Alot of cattle and sheep on the mountainside though
alex can you put up a clip battling a wild animal with the machete LOL, would make a good friday filler

It varies a little bit depending on the trip length and time of year but that covers most of it bro🤙

You’re right, I did forget until I was editing!! Rest assured I have that with me.
Good on you for getting a beacon. Hope u never need it!

OCD makes for some neat, organised stuff buddy!!😄
Giant snook and tarpon.....ah man - I want them In my my life!

Thanks heaps bro, def a lot of work that goes into them 💪
Bonus! I'm wanting to do some overnight trips in Alberta's parks this summer if they ever let us outside again.
Totally understandable that you forgot the aeropress...it's likely in service on your kitchen counter!!!
I too love to have my Crocs when in the backcountry. Here in Canada we call them Dorks for obvious reasons, lol. Stay healthy!
That’s exactly where it is!!
man get some tortillas and packet tuna put that and cheese in the wrap man ooo its good.
Great video again bro. Glad to see you’re both keeping safe and sane! Catch up soon man.
Hey bro!
Good to hear from u man. Hope u are all good
Should catch up over winter🤙
@@TrippinOnTrout for sure man. We will figure something out.
Like Like this! Solid setup👊 I do oats for mornings as well, and a few sporks of peanut butter (plastic jar) is usually consumed simultaneously.
Cheers man. Can’t go wrong with PB!
Great video Alex
Glad you enjoyed it bro
Great video but your garage is entirely to clean! Impressive. Also, I see, in previous videos, you use flint and steel i assume because of the wet. Also what to you soak your cotton fire starter in ? Thx. Dave
Cotton wool balls with some Vaseline smeared on them is just the trick!
Alex, great video!
Just curious, how did you fold your hoodie and jackets?
Cheers!
I’ll make a filler on it 🤙
Hey Alex great video. What brand is your sleeping bag compression sack? At the moment I am just jamming mine into a dry sack to mush it in my bag and keep it dry but it is just using up that little bit of extra room. Cheers
Keep the great videos comming.
It’s a sea to summit compression bag. Had it for years and it’s still great!
Great vid bro can’t wait to get back out there 🔥🔥🔥
Nice. Curious what kind of weight you come in at excluding food? You have camera gear, I only take a GoPro. but with full wading gear and what not it's hard to get below 40 lbs. any idea what kind of wait you hit generally?
Without camera gear maybe 14/15kg, with it around 20/21kg.....stooped videos😆

Yeah generally I have the PLB on me when I’m out there for that exact reason. Good question 🤙

Awesome man. Everyone should have one🤙
Torch, fire lighting, dunny gear?
follow up on drinking water. Do you always filter water or ever drink direct from streams? Does your filter water bottle serve to filter everything you drink on overnights? great video by the way.
Yeah i filter everything I drink from the river. You never know if there’s a dead animal upstream of you so always best to be safe🤙
@@TrippinOnTrout cool and everything goes through your one Fill2Pure water bottle? I got to get something like that. Saves on water weight.
Yep everything. I also have a life straw which I use on regular days trips.
Did not see the campbstove to cook the pasta,
Notifications are on!
Nice one👊
Cheers dude, never forget the aeropress! What is it you do to your rod tube to secure it with accessory cord/carabiner? Is that to keep it on the pack?
The aero press rules!!!
Yeah the carabiner is just there as a back up in case the tube pops out of the pack pocket🤙
You should always have a fist aid kit specially when things get dicey.
Yep that was in there
Hey Alex, Do you hike in your wading boots? If they are sized to accommodate neoprene booties, does that create problems for your feet on some of the rough bushwhacks you do?
Yeah I just hike in wearing whatever I’m fishing in - either neoprene socks and wet wading gear or waders.
Good stuff
Chur bro. Hope u are well man 🤙
Two rods? If so are they packed in the same tube for the walk in? If so, which tubes?
Yep both in one metal tube. A 6 weight tube is bang on
Do you eat any of the trout you catch? I know you seem to catch and release but what about when you do a over nighter ?
No I never keep fish bro.
Just not my thing🤷♂️
Do you tell people where you are going and for how long? Do you give them an ETA for returning home?
Yes to all of those things mate
Great vid. I think if you add a gun and ammo you'll be set for 25 years pretty much anywhere. Love your chanel. Tough sheeeeet here in New Jersey. All state parks and lakes are closed. Hang in there bro.
Thanks man. Tough times all round mate. 👊
What about Tuesday Tippets?
HaHa - good one mate!
Tuesday top up.
🤓
That’s pretty good
Forgot about your bear pistol...
I just go hand to hand combat

I can still hear stuff but it just takes the edge off. There’s nothing to listen out for anyway except the odd possum so it’s all good
What’s the pillow you use
Sea to Summit is the brand mate
You forgot the hip flask. But otherwise, solid set up.
Yeah I did but it def comes with me!!
What brand of backpack is that.
Tatonka
@@TrippinOnTrout never seen them in England
Where is the toothbrush?
Yep forgot to mention that. It will be in there👍
man you lucky you don't have a wife like mine. I have a 8x7m garage you cant move in for boxes of clothes shoes and god knows what!
Seems like you both have a problem!😆
Take a apple
