    I'm an old man now, living in frozen Canada where I've been all my life. You two kids are living the life I've always dreamed of, and can now live vicariously through your You-tube postings! I'm happy for you, and envious at the same time.

    Crikey that steak dinner made me so hungry looking at it, it looked amazing! I was going to ask how you kept charging everything, you could make a couple of cool videos showing how you decked out the dingo to make the journey possible. Esp the Drone charging and cameras etc. The camp site looked so chilled, I was so jealous thinking I need to do more of that. Just back in from taking the young lads out on a spearing, finished washing everything down, cold beer and taking a holiday with You and Fran! Cheers for sharing, that cray OMG, must have been 3-4 kgs? Dive safe!

    I’ve just discovered your vids and I’m hooked. I used to spear, fully kitted out, but sold that years ago. Ive now picked up a new hand spear and am going back to basics - nothing better in a mask-wearing fear mongering COVID world. Thanks guys!

  • @johnjenkins2209

    Excellent videos. Anyone with the notion to undertake such adventures should do so as long as they are not going into it with ignorance of the risks. Luckily I have been able to undertake such adventures over many years but not in such idyllic situations but now as I am older but dying of a spreading cancer I look back with fondness on my life, the people I’ve met.
    I came to this channel over the last couple of weeks in the dark times in hospital when I was so ill. Remember the joyous times in your life and if you think you need to change your young lives don’t be afraid too change. I’m 62 years old and as a young man had old f*rts sagely telling me if you are young, free from shackles of life, healthy and fit you can visit the world and change your own life.
    Loved these videos, they brighten the darkest of nights in hospitals.

  • @theoneandonlyowl3764
    @theoneandonlyowl3764 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice. Spanish fillets were always our go-to fish in the far north... if trout or reds were too high a price (They all went on the menu of our pub).
    None of those oysters would have made it back to be smoked by me. I love them too much, fresh off the rocks. That lobster was a giant, nice find. The others a bonus.
    The red meat was a treat. Everyone needs a change now and then.
    But really, fresh seafood... I think I could live on it, unless a trade was made. I know that game. Good stuff.

    If you have some salt, pepper, and lemon you could sun dry your fillets and make jerky. Just marinade it for two hours and let the sun dry them out. This way you can keep your fish for a long time and eat it when you just need something to tide you over to the next catch.

    Another great video guys.. thank you! I’d be interested in the breakdowns, in particular the centre console. Not every adventure is without hurdles, don’t be afraid to show what the problems are so others can understand that the picturesque sunset and crayfish fires aren’t without sacrifices, but worth it nonetheless 👍🏽 BTW, how did the salted eggs go?
