- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- I can finally release the Short Film from the Topwater Film Festival! This was an epic adventure, Solo camping and filming for the festival in remote areas of the Great Barrier Reef... a trip where nothing went to plan. But as they say "It's when things go wrong that the real adventure begins"

Chap wtf its your channel wtf.
This was a movie he made for a competition film festival last year. Calm down
Yep i just eneded up leaving the logos and warnings on that they had in the Film Festival, so poeole know this is not a reguler upload. Just pretend they are not there. Im not selling out just yet😅
@@rokkitkit You make good content. You have every right to sell out.
Your films are some of the best in the world rod!! This one aspeshaly mate you had my vote🤙
@@rokkitkit I'd trust you to only sell out to good companies with quality products mate lol
This. Is. Adventure. The surprise challenges, the way you persevere. But you don’t just push through with a negative attitude, you have a palpable desire to explore and a thirst for what comes next. You’re the kind of guy anyone would be lucky to accompany into the unknown and here you’ve taken us all with you. What a privilege. Seriously, mate, there are a ton of good channels out there doin stuff like this, but you definitely stand out. 🤙
I voted for yours last year and I was sad you lost to the louder more traditional entries.Yours was the most interesting and captivating, with the most heart. I really love the story arc and how well you included us in your adventure. The other entries were well made sport tv style projects but they definitely were not in the same cinematic universe.
Blue collar YT fishing at its finest! Hats off to Rod, what a Gentleman Of the sea!🏴☠️🎣👊🙏
I rarely write comments for videos but compelled to do so for this one. Beautifully produced and edited!! What a treasure of a video - thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks Rod. I‘ve been watching your channel for many years. This is your best film yet. !)I like the way you have improved a bit on the look and the styl.
That tent was like a screen door on a submarine. Fantastic production as always mate.
I was so hoping you'd win the comp. I loved the vid back then, it was cool to see a genuine trip with all the trials and tribulations that come with it and see you still enjoy it.
Regardless of the troubles and lack of decent fish this video is fantastic! Such beautiful footage and skilled editing. The story of adventure here is gold!
We love Rod, we love his videos, we love fishing!🏴☠️👊🙏🎣
I just want to say from a 65 year old man with fishing still running through my veins that was an amazing piece of footage rod you are a incredible person thanks so much for bringing it to my screen
Cheers jeff
Now that was a real fishing trip. Real fishing isn't about the catching its about the journey & the experience. That was epic. thanks
Nothing like a good struggle. These are the moments in life we never forget. Great film. Thank you.
I’m glad I finally got to see this. The poor little red boat took a beating. So did Rod.
Always love it when a new rokkit vid comes out.
Can't believe your tent. Recently went camping and it rained heavily but I remained dry as a bone in my Wechsel V1, buddy boy. You needed a better one, truly. Love the channel.❤
Brilliant. So glad they let you release this 👍
I voted for you! Yours was definitely the most enthralling entry
I love the true kit episodes.
The rainy tent scene is great, its at these times we start questioning ourselves. All the fish caught looked decent, what a trip!
combine adventure , nature and some sort of art editing..nice footage
Excellent short story Rod 👍
Rokkit...u r a national treasure.
Bro. By far, the best video i have seen on youtube. Watching from the South Island in New Zealand and a fisherman myself. This video is a true inspiration man. Im sure the founder of true kit would love this. Planning to buy one for my family's 1st boat.
Brilliant film! I hope you know Rod how lucky, and blessed by God you are to live the life you live! Millions of us live vicariously through you and your videos! I would gladly donate a kidney to go on one fishing trip with you!
So happy you posted this video.
Amazing production Rod! ❤wished you would’ve won this is so raw and beautiful the way you persevered and enjoyed the beauty of the trip!
Cinematic AF!
Loved this one, keep up the great content!
I honestly think this is one of the best videos on your channel, bro. I can't imagine how you think this is a bad video and will have better content than this?!? this is some real shit, not saying I'm going to camp on a island overnight and other youtubers say wow guys we had to go back to the boat. nah, this is quality dude. seriously i loved this man. the slow introes in every seen, allowing us to feel the vibe for a minute. and get immersed in your reality. this is good content. please dude listen
So under rated. Its even better watching it now.😘
What an amazing piece of art
Wow! Some of your best work ever!
adventure only happens when risk is involved!
That was amazing! I have had some days in tents that compare to that! It brings back some memories.
This is a wonderful film. Thankyou.
Ah a TOW! Throwback to the yakshed. Nice
20:18 of pure perfection. As I have stated before.... not into fishing, not into boats, but OMG, Rod makes it so entertaining.
Nice to see you are moving into the big time now with all the professional changes. Onwards and upwards.
Beautifully filmed mate. Love the story, love the sound (wear headphones). Loved the soundtrack! Just very nicely done.
Awesome short RoKKiT!
Jeez mate, what a wild adventure this one was! Nothing more testing than keeping your spirits high whilst camped under a tiny tent in heavy rain and thunder! Loved all of it 👏🏼
I've been looking forward to this! You had mentioned it in your videos, and I never saw it! Cheers.
Another great adventure! Take care!😎👍
Not every trip is a winner but every one of your videos is!
Great video! Good to see that green lure on the big reef. 😊
At first, I was very confused! Until I read where this was a short film made for a film festival! Very NICE!! I enjoy your normal videos more, but this was still very good.❤
Great production. Always have loved your videos. Surprised this hasnt popped up in my feed until now.
Rod your production has escalated. Nice ❤😂
Amazing video. Well produced & edited too.
Great job! Crazy adventure!
Wow, you got permission to show this? Enjoyed this just over a year ago. Hopefully gets to 1 million!

I hope you enter again this year Rod. Your videos seem more earnest and organic than so many others. It's relatable art. Thanks for bringing us along!
Amazing trip you had there!
Beautiful stuff rod.... Yeah I could see that was before your haircut 😂😂
Grim night in the tent during an electrical storm!
Always great content. Thanks for sharing
Wow what an incredible movie! Was mesmerized watching this. Even with all the crazy weather you have a way of capturing the serenity and calm that the sea can provide. Truly one of your finest works yet. Thank you!
Back in the day when I was younger I was doing the same, love your channel, it brings back good memories. Thank you.
Ripper video mate, loved the voice-over and story telling side of it.
What a fantastic production Rod! I could definitely watch another one of those again. Great background music BTW.
Rod you have out done yourself. Take a bow that was extravagant. 😮 Yes you didn't catch much wish a lot more went your way. But man that film making is on point 🎉🎉🎉
Wow, another wild vlog, appreciate your skills and content
Thanks again for reminding me just how good life can be. Even when things don't go the way we plan. You all ways seem to find a way to do the best you can and for me that's worth watching and listening. You truly inspire me. Thanks your one of the best.
You are a mad dog for doing it in that little boat you are my idol!!!

Warms the cockles of my heart here in sunny England. Keep pushing man keeeeep pushing!
10/10 Rob, loved it
Absolutely fantastic Rod I loved every minute, tight lines mate 🎣

More than a hell of a trip nature can throw us many curve balls but what an adventure and learning curve for future fishing trips is priceless the scenery was magic only from our great land down under 👍
Cheers Wombat 🐾🤗🍻🎣
Dude love this new format. The footage, the story telling, the music. Love it
I finally invested in a good quality tent and now heavy rain puts me to sleep and everything stays nice and dry.
Awww…we loved it Mate! We finally got to see it! Happy New Year Rod to you and your family. Thanks for another top year….👍🇦🇺🇳🇿 On the GC.
Mate what an epic video
You are an inspiration to all who follow you
If only tents didn’t leak
2024 will be your best ever my friend 😊
This is one of the best pieces of content from you. Absolutely amazing bro.
Absolutely beautiful story! I'm on the same journey starting my guide service, teaching one, the beauty of fishing in our world ❤
What a great look back on the trip. Thanks for giving us the non TH-cam all is wonderful perspective. What an amazing adventure. I love your glass half full attitude. I think most people would have given up at some point, but not you.
I’m glad my favourite local waterfall managed to fill your soul the way it does mine. And glad those money grabbers gave you your vid back after a year.
Rock on, rod.🤙🏽
One of your best videos yet mate , keep up the great work in sharing your trips and if your ever around Mackay area give me a shout
Nice work Rod, loved the tunes , especially the birds. Nice memories
What an epic trip! Scary but what an adventure!! Those waves that little boat handled was incredible! Great short film with amazing footage!
I was so excited when you hooked that fish and then, you let it go. I wanted to cry!! lol I LOVE your videos!!! XOXOX
LOL...when someone tells you something like turn around and go back. Rokkit says F that a goes anyways :)

Amazing! Things that make you feel alive, thanks for sharing!
Your underwater shots are pretty amazing, this is a great vid.
Great video! Thank you! The opening music was awesome, added them to my playlist.

Awesome, thank for putting this up. I was hoping to get to watch the films on a tv. You did a really great job and your film was definitely one of the best if not the #one. Cheers mate, keep at it.
Wild ride but very cool footage ! bet you'll never forget the lessons learned
Sick video man, the editing took awhile I’m sure, but the final product was awesome. It’s always the little touches that do a lot in videos. You nailed it brother 👍🏼
Loved the movie amazing
What a editing! You absolutely nailed with the sound tracks, very nice mic on your voice too! Classic fishing trip! That film is really good mate!
Respects!was on the fence about getting one these inflatables for ocean fishing in Southern cal but was worried about how it would handle bad weather but after watching you put it through the conditions im sold.again hats off to you,your an animal.🤙

Saw you reply to comment about "Not selling out". Mate, you have everyright to get paid for these awesome videos. Dont you ever be ashamed of making sure you keep your family fed and happy:) You give so much of your time to these videos, its more than okay to get something back. Greetings from finland where everything is fucking frozen now, including the fishes.
