Thanks for being a part of this adventure guys! If you want to watch more of Strick & Fran they've also launched a New Channel filmed in a different style: th-cam.com/play/PL3oFviOgkHnVNApploh5AYf3r7hmAmrwY.html
@back2basicsadventures Hey guys, any chance you would know how we can get our hands on one of those boat hammocks.. Love ya vids keep up the good work!!
I DREAM of the life you guys are living! I can't even express how happy I am for you both , thank you for taking us all on your amazing adventures!! 🤘😎🤘
New to your channel. I live in the mid-west USA. Your videos are amazing, but I can only imagine what it must look and feel like in person. At 72 I don’t think I will ever see it’s in person. That makes your video so much more amazing. Thank you! God Bless!
The new boat is so much fun. GUYS! I went out on a boat with my buddy for first time in my coastal area and found out I can almost pull off having fun on the weekends taking boats to the islands. It's been years in the making but this weekend finally showed me I can live the life I watch and enjoy so much here with my family and friends. My life changed in a weekend. If I had never discovered YBS and B2B I would be completely oblivious to this amazing life. Thank you to Strick and Fran you guys have inspired me.
I'm really loving the new boat!! Having a home base that floats is going to make exploring some unreachable places before, possible now, given that you have shelter and food storage on the boat. What an epic place you two are visiting! Crays, Coral Trout, Snapper, Tuna, Parrotfish, Cod,....15ft ( + or - ) Tiger Shark!!! You know, just the usual outing for our Intrepid Explorers!! Tune in again next week when Jack points out something of interest and Fran spears a fish for dinner. Just poking some fun, I love the places you take us to see, the landscapes, the seascapes and the critters that reside in each world. I think if I had my way there would be a Back 2 Basics channel on Prime, or Netflix or something like that, not that there is anything wrong with TH-cam but I think the pay involved might be a bit better.
Hi Fran, In the Southern Waters; if you see that Jack/Strick has speared a fish when he surfaces, can you PLEASE start the motors and get him safely into the boat immediately. There are huge sharks in those colder waters. I am also glad that Jack held the fish out of the water while he swam back to the boat, to keep those distress signals out of the water.
As much as I love to see you guys roughing it, I also love to see you living in luxury w this new boat compared to before 😂😂! You guys being so humble and still only getting the basics of what you need makes this reward more enjoyable to see you take advantage of! You two truly are deserving !
Yet another world class episode and video. Every aspect of the episode is extremely well done, and extremely entertaining. With the amount of crays available, I think I would find myself wanting to settle down here for a long time! You guys eat so well, as a result of your fishing and diving efforts! Peace, smooth sailing, and lots more smiles, hugs, and laughter for you both!
Love this we used to live up north and take our boat out there ... we are originally from the east coast and the fishing and crays are so different. I am now a huge mackerel fan catching and eating. Coral trout is now my favourite fish to eat. I've never seen as many sharks as I did out of karratha/dampier and the islands. I love the genesis boats yours is a beauty ... enjoy all new adventures in it ❤
Do you work at Genesis? Your comment sounds like someone who is on the board of the company. So you've come and checked out the channel to see the "influencers" the boat has gone to. "influencers", that word has some fucked up connotations, just look at so called influencers, a more loathsome character you'd be hard up to find
Legends chasing some info on the hammock ya have on board ,we just about to pick up our new tub and that would be a great addition for overnighters , Cheers Have a Mint Day
As a PADI divemaster, and having dove all over the world, I too have encountered tiger sharks. And they are the only ones that make me nervous and fearful. I'm very aware of their agression and large numbers of attacks on people. The last tiger shark I saw was in Hawaii, and it was about the same size. Biggest one I've ever seen.
Once again , congratulations on the new boat and yes I agree , I would not want to see a tiger shark of that size in the previous boat . I'm glad you found an area where the "picken's " were so plentiful where food was concerned . As shallow as you were running it definitely was an area to keep your head on a swivel but beautiful just the same . good luck in finding what you seek . Thanks for sharing .
So glad you got this new boat. Means more awesome videos to come! And I am so thrilled that Fran seems soooooo happy. Hopefully it’s because she realizes we love her. We love you too so don’t get jealous lol. Thank you for the videos. Stay safe.
When going slow over reef trim one motor up and use just one engine , if you hit a coral head you will still have a good lower unit and prop to get home.....GL
Thank you for a wonderful video. One of the best ever on so many levels. Of course Fran was the highlight of it all as she continues to lose her shyness of the camera. The camera in fact absolutely loves her. She has the warmest personality and it is beginning to show through in spades. You have to believe in a higher power who could create such a gorgeous creature.
Amazing watching you guys move from completely roughing it and extreme danger to a sustainable lifestyle for the future. Thank you for what you do. I have been seriously worried about yalls safety numerous times.
I have never seen so many crays in one hole. Awesome encounter with a giant tiger shark, looks like you guys are loving the new boat. great work guys, keep it coming.
Bloody hell. Fran caught a Snapper. We fish pretty hard down in vic for snapper all season and Fran just out PBed most of our state with her first fish. Yeeeeewwww Love the channel and love you two. You are amazing humans on a very humble trip through life. All our love.
Thats a well fed shark, definitely a beautiful animal. It seemed to be very cautious and just seeing what the smell was. Crazy how Jack had that premonition about it before it appeared. I guess that area is soo dense with Marine life the sharks have taken notice of it as well. Great episode!
I am so happy that you have your new boat!!! It is so wonderful to see all that you are able to do with it! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us!! God Bless!!!
If you want REALLY nice breadcrumbs for cooking...make your own with WHOLEMEAL 9 Grain bread. Break it up into the smallest pieces you can and then cover the fish with that. With all the grains and wholemeal flakes it makes the end product so fluffy and SO crunchy and good for you TOO! Try it you'll be impressed.
The videos you guys put out are just what I need. I am so impressed by the quality of the environment. I have been consumed by how badly the environment has been portrayed in the media (climate change) that it is nice to see healthy images of the world we live in. Thanks
@@jakeaffleck3307 no you don’t and this is advertising to come and get it…. I get the vlogs are good but it’s advertising that’s inevitably going to see the end of these places. Easy access and explain how they get fuel if it’s so far from humans 😃😃
A little trick, take one of the antenna and reverse it through the poop shoot, with the spikes going opposite way twist and it comes right out, no digging needed...best way to clean lobster 🦞
Dang, I've seen Tiger sharks be more aggressive than GWs. Glad you got outta there with the coral trout. Had a funny feeling watching you in the water and I somehow knew a shark was coming at some point. Lol
Hi Strick and Fran, thank you so much for showing such clear video clips of those absolutely beautiful coloured reefs you are diving on for that extra protein. The cold water sea weeds that grow in the roughest reefs that are highly oxygenated during rough weather have the most brilliant coloured weeds I have the privilege to experience during my prime years on SCUBA in South Australian Waters. The shear number's of cray fish you are showing your audience, I had the privilege to admire first hand mostly by my self alone miles off the coast. I was very fit in those days. Thank you for bringing back those much cherished memories. Please don't feed those large sharks. Look out for each other under water. I am very happy to see both of you with a sea worth boat at last.
ThankYou Fran , I've been drinking fresh coconut water for 3 years, so know which type of coconut has the best sweetest water .But always avoided ones with shells .Now I'll be looking for the ones that have just started to sprout with no roots. Was shocked at coconut meat when you cracked open that 1 coconut , Cliff Please Stay Healthy
Love your adventures! I bout wet myself when you jumped in that stormy ocean to save the Salty Dingo, soo soooo glad you made it home safely. Excited to see where this new boat will be able to take you, Love You Guys!!!
Big 🦈 one. Thank God you both were already out of the water. Please stay safe out there. Usually, a big shark leaves the area spooked when a bigger one is around as well.
Love the boat guys. Its a game changer. Can you explain to the viewers how you stay in the wilderness and upload videos. Also some solar panels and a fresh water maker would be awesome. Live the dream guys. Stay safe.
Excellent, excellent footage. Those reefs are just exploding with life. It is so beautiful to see!!! The shark....just breathtaking. What a gorgeous tiger!! What's cookin' good lookin'!!
I just can't believe how happy I am for the both of you to have that new boat! The Salty Dingo was awesome, but... that damn fuel barrel! I can't wait to watch your adventures in this new vessel!
thank you so much for the posts and content. I live in central Florida and have access to both Florida coasts as well as the keys to the south. I love the videography. The Crayfish count at this spot was absolutely amazing. our season opens towards the end of this month and I am looking forward to putting a few on the grill. All the best, love the new boat, and wish you success.
Hi I grew up there you need to go to Jackson Island southern group right in the anchorage is a massive anemone garden. Also the light house break is one of the best in the world
Go swimming with the tigers and all the other sharks amazing creatures, glad to see your taking care of the ref and picking up all the rubbish and fishing line. how beautiful are just watching the fish on the reef. tray shooting in open water versus the reef.

Tiger Shark
I’m ashamed to say I had a pretty good laugh at “Frans got a big pink Snapper” 😂😂😂😂
no doubt!
I am not ashamed to say that I laughed at that as well! LOL
Crossed my mind but keeping it classy. 😉
I have never subscribed to a onlyfans page..but I would for her lol respectfully of course
Well, it's not as big as Winona's big brown beaver.
The footage you folks have underwater is beautiful 😍 thank you for what you do
I DREAM of the life you guys are living! I can't even express how happy I am for you both , thank you for taking us all on your amazing adventures!! 🤘😎🤘
"Frans in the water--shark's in the water--our shark, .....farewell and ado to my fair Aussy lady"

"Fran has a big snapper" - Didn't think that one through, did ya? LOL!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this funny lol

Fran is gorgeous 10/10 !!! She is your best treasure , keep her safe , u r a lucky man !
true indeed! anyone knows what sort of eccent she speaks?
Glad to see you guys with a new boat! Keep the adventure alive and going! May it bring you good fortune!

Love to see the boys at Genesis looking after our Aussie influencers on the water ❤️ love it
Their margin must be massive given the boats they offer up. Great looking boats too.

The tiger shark was spooked by the leopard print swim suit. Excellent landing of that snapper Fran
It’s amazing to see how well remote reefs and islands thrive.
As a PADI divemaster, and having dove all over the world, I too have encountered tiger sharks. And they are the only ones that make me nervous and fearful.
I'm very aware of their agression and large numbers of attacks on people.
The last tiger shark I saw was in Hawaii, and it was about the same size. Biggest one I've ever seen.
And he was in the water 10 minutes earlier 🤯
Once again , congratulations on the new boat and yes I agree , I would not want to see a tiger shark of that size in the previous boat .

SOOO! Glad you guys got a new boat and doing well with all the videos! I wish you all the best! you've earned it! Thanks for the adventures!
Thats a well fed shark, definitely a beautiful animal. It seemed to be very cautious and just seeing what the smell was. Crazy how Jack had that premonition about it before it appeared. I guess that area is soo dense with Marine life the sharks have taken notice of it as well. Great episode!
The more south you go, the more you have to worry about sharks that have the capacity to eat you.
Love your videos. I try to watch them all and even go to your older ones to catch up. You are a beautiful couple.
Congrats on getting the new boat. You both have earned it. And, it’s a beautiful world out there so onwards to exploring new adventures mates 🥂🍾
very cool hammock/cot you have for lounging in the back of the boat.... sweet setup!
Absolutely thrilled for you both having your fabulous new boat , you both deserve it XXXX
The life you guys live is unreal I couldn’t even begin to imagen the stories you could tell around a campfire
Most of them are true 👍 🍻
Congrats on the new boat, seems the perfect size for what you guys are doing 👌
I am so happy that you have your new boat!!! It is so wonderful to see all that you are able to do with it! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us!! God Bless!!!
I can watch both channels and not get bored ..love u guys
The largest tiger shark on record is 13ft 10 inches and that looked a lot bigger than that. Ace
You're really enjoying the ROOM on the new boat. It definitely seems more relaxing.
That new boat is epic, well done
If you want REALLY nice breadcrumbs for cooking...make your own with WHOLEMEAL 9 Grain bread. Break it up into the smallest pieces you can and then cover the fish with that. With all the grains and wholemeal flakes it makes the end product so fluffy and SO crunchy and good for you TOO! Try it you'll be impressed.
You need to name that boat “Salty Bingo” because it is a winner.
THIER sense of smell is so good it followed the scent of that trout all the way to the boat. Wow !
Nice Tiger, you should have done a Brodie and swam with it !!!
And what, let it eat them??
There would be nothing anyone could do to keep that massive beast off you
Living the good life , I wish you every happiness, wow your so privileged and brave to follow your dreams this way ✌️
The videos you guys put out are just what I need. I am so impressed by the quality of the environment. I have been consumed by how badly the environment has been portrayed in the media (climate change) that it is nice to see healthy images of the world we live in. Thanks
You have to go along way from humans to get anything like this.
@@jakeaffleck3307 no you don’t and this is advertising to come and get it…. I get the vlogs are good but it’s advertising that’s inevitably going to see the end of these places. Easy access and explain how they get fuel if it’s so far from humans 😃😃
What a crazy place. So much life, great coral, and one big ass tiger shark. Wow!
Really enjoyed our Fran fix. She’s a perfect 10 being beautiful and an amazing cook plus as useful as he is. She’s actually a 20 in that bikini 👙
NICE VIDEO GUYS, REMINDS ME WHEN I WAS YOUNG FISHING IN THE LONG ISLAND SOUND. THANK YOU
Love it the Fran is more chatty these days.
Thanks for sharing your adventures. It is truly inspiring.
I love ❤️ watching you guys,you’re a beautiful couple of cute kids. Wots the name of the new boat?
Great episode. Amazing snorkeling, what a YUGE tiger shark, and Fran caught another BIG fish. And tha ‘hammock’ is very cool!!
What type of hammock is that?
Great boat and unbelievable seeing that tiger shark. Keep a close watch out for pirates!
A little trick, take one of the antenna and reverse it through the poop shoot, with the spikes going opposite way twist and it comes right out, no digging needed...best way to clean lobster 🦞
Its so good to see you guys not have to wonder were lunch or dinner was coming from the fridge is the best thing
That hammock on the boat is so cool !!!!!
Nice boat u two take us to places most of us could never imagine THANK YOU
Wow that’s a LOT of crayfish, good breath-holding mate
Dang, I've seen Tiger sharks be more aggressive than GWs. Glad you got outta there with the coral trout. Had a funny feeling watching you in the water and I somehow knew a shark was coming at some point. Lol

You guys are smashing it. 👍. We asphalt minions are so jealous. 🤓😂🤘. Fran’s lettuce wrap looked delicious. 👍
I can’t believe you guys threw the head of the lobster away! Thx for sharing.
i thought that too... 😱
Good for you both. Been watching for a year or so and happy for your success.
I enjoy seeing your diet , fresh sea food yum.. do you use monofilament line... lb test ? I like you new boat too !
Nice boat 😮 wonder how much they they paid for it?
Big 🦈 one. Thank God you both were already out of the water. Please stay safe out there. Usually, a big shark leaves the area spooked when a bigger one is around as well.

Generator lithium charging station solar panel fuel ⛽️ and a s$&@ ton of go pros and spare batteries
Love the new boat. Love you guys. Thanks for taking us with you.
Excellent, excellent footage. Those reefs are just exploding with life. It is so beautiful to see!!! The shark....just breathtaking. What a gorgeous tiger!! What's cookin' good lookin'!!
I just can't believe how happy I am for the both of you to have that new boat! The Salty Dingo was awesome, but... that damn fuel barrel! I can't wait to watch your adventures in this new vessel!
Genesis Boat company is making the impossible possible for you two. Nice boat. Nice adventure. Delicious eatings.
The new boat looks awesome, congratulations. Looking forward to seeing move adventures
Epic place. Congrats on the new boat, haven’t seen a couple more likely to use such a weapon to its fullest potential.
Amazing day. Amazing boat. Amazing couple. Thanks for sharing!

Look at all the Cray's I never seen so many in one spot great stuff guys 👍... New boat 🚢 looking awesome too keep em coming ☺️
My big Dream Adventures in the future.
Thanks for sharing your adventure🤩😍
Your feeling about the area and sharks was spot on. The tiger smelled your fish and became curious.
That shark gave me goosebumps🙁
Wow excellent sizes of fish, it's nice to cook after fishing.
PS we know it's hard work and at the end of the day phew really relax time
Oh my you two are living a dream life!!
You guys are awesome. Big hugs from Big Daz in Northern Ireland
Was wondering when the Genesis Team would hook you guys up, well deserved and good investment for Genesis
Super boat guys! Its great now Fran speak more on camera. We loved this very much, thank you!
Great video, thanks 👍
Thanks for a great video and the cooking tips. I learn a lot from your adventures!
The fish and corals are quite healthy there Australia 🇦🇺 guys. Lovely big boat to makes it all enjoyable
Wonderful blessings 🏝🤟💯😻
Hi I grew up there you need to go to Jackson Island southern group right in the anchorage is a massive anemone garden. Also the light house break is one of the best in the world
Go swimming with the tigers and all the other sharks amazing creatures, glad to see your taking care of the ref and picking up all the rubbish and fishing line. how beautiful are just watching the fish on the reef. tray shooting in open water versus the reef.
The crayfish grabbing is so comical sometimes, LOL. I can't help but narrating both sides in my head... LOL...
I love this kind of tour trip around the ocean
Great fishing and diving where you're at!
