Thanks heaps for watching I appreciate that. And Bingo is doing well!

Cheers mate, yeah I'm going to work on the chimney and make it rain proof as well as a stone fire place on the inside.

@ In that case I’d better subscribe, wouldn’t want to miss seeing that. Cheers

Thanks for that, another tip! I wonder if you can find some vintage ones over in the states? We only have one company here making new ones.

Thanks mate I appreciate it.

That sounds like a fantastic lifestyle you are going to live. I live on a farm as well with my family and my parents, and we try to grow some of our own food. It's a great way to live.

Yup, since it is a very poor trout season, I'm going to change my mindset and target carp here on in. It's cause mud marlin (as they are also known) is usually a pretty bad tasting fish .. though I hear these clear water streams hold some decent tasting carp.

Hey mate thanks for watching. I just got back from a big trip where I put the woolen blanket and the knife to the test! Both of them worked great and I can't wait to show the vid.

@@TheBeardedBushranger Awesome bro. I am interested to see them in action lol. Great to the knife has finally got some bush time. It just sat in a draw in my house lol.

Your comment confused me so much I got a headache.

Cheers mate thanks for watching. It's a bloody beaut country we live in.

Yeah it's getting harder and harder here too. The government is slowly putting more and more laws in place to stop this kind of camping, and restrict us all to little neat blocks in an established drive in campsite.

Yeah even in the warmer months it can get chilly at night.

Thanks for watching.

That's so good mate. I grew up making bush forts as well. Come to think about it I've been building like bush shacks all through out my life haha. But nothing to this level until now. It's always good fun for a camp out in.

Thank you very much.

I eat the drop bears!

Hard season for trout that's for sure. I just got back from the high country and finally caught one little trout haha

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. Genuinly liking the tent. I'd love to take it out in the snow during winter and convert it into a hot tent.

Yeah I reckon you could. I was running a really 100 reel and really light braid (with a mono leader), no way that was going to hold a carp. Next river trip I'll bring a stronger settup and target some carp.

I like what you are thinking Leigh! This could be a great option for a little hot tent. Then I don't have to carry multiple blankets to keep warm. So I have been reading about how trout season is very bad this year all the way from Tassie up to NSW because of the cormorants picking of the yearlings. I'm actually changing my frame of mind after this trip .. instead of targeting trout (which is not really around) or native fish like bass (which are getting more and more threatened) I will start targeting carp since they are an absolute pest and the only good carp in Australia is a dead carp haha

Let's find out how to eat them good and yum.

So on this particular river it's not allowed (so many rivers in Victoria that prospecting is not allowed) but further upstream another river about the same size flows into this one which is legal .. and I definantly will be getting into gold panning for future videos (in fact I'm getting a hold of a vintage gold pan this week)

@ Look for black sand. There’s a creek (Jack Wade) up in the Forty Mile mining district here in Alaska, which some guys started reworking. They dug into a bend of the creek with their bulldozer, exposing about a 50 ft swath of black sand in the creek bank. It was visible from the road, and they immediately put up a fence around their claim, with a security guy signing people in and out. It’s fun even if you just get a small fleck, or two, at a time!

You can watch this video that has more of a focus on indigenous bushcraft: ruclips.net/video/ueBsLYkcihs/видео.html

I have never found any records of a swag-woman. Though it's not impossible .. for the most part, women would never of wondered on the road alone from town town.

haha I've seen people bow hunting carp which looks fun. in the morning I was able to get so close to them, I almost scooped one out of the water.

Yeah I've ended up getting much more used to just sleeping on the ground next to a fire going all night! Thanks for watching.

Cheers mate .. problem is you actually need to have a good aim to do that 😂

Yeah I've been looking at the old U.S military pup tents as well. So far Homecamp look pretty good for new tents that have that style .. I'd love their style of tents without the vynal floor though. But otherwise I think they have great stuff.

Thanks mate, I've been hearing the same thing for down in Tasmania as well. Aparently a lot of cormorants around that have taken the fingerlings as well. I might have to go for carp

Awesome mate, thanks heaps for watching and subscribing. Plenty more vids to come.

That's great to hear! Thanks for watching. I actually love taking my kids camping as well, that can be pretty special to do.

Marketplace and etsy are good for second hand bags. Otherwise you can order a new bag from trailblazers. They are not exactly like the original water bags, but close enough. I've actually been thinking of hand making my own myself.

Thanks for that, have a great day mate

Well it's a couple of litres of fuel to go towards my upcoming trip this week!! Camping like a bushranger in a secret mountain shack 😆

Do ever think about maybe linking your PayPal?, or some other direct payment method??

Get some direct Christmas money coming in... it's just a thought.

@@KiwiBrew77 I could put a link on my youtube. I know I have a linktree list which has my paypal.

Yeah I scour google earth for potential spots, I check to see if it's in national park or state forest and then research the rules for that area. Then I look at access points and how far I need to drive in to get there. Many of the spots I go to now are in the general area I have camped in before and I have wanted to scope out these other places for a while.

No worries, these are XTM snow boots

Yeah I'm starting to think this way as well. Most of my fishing learning has been around how to target trout or bass .. I have no idea how I would target carp but I am going to start learning.

Thanks mate.

There you go. Funny how the laws can have such a vairent from state to state. I know there are other coastal fish that in Vic has to be over 30cm, yet there is no size limit for that fish up on the nsw coast.

Yeah mate, I actually think this solo view tent is a great settup even for car camping. Under an awning it would a beauty and it just as quick to set up as a big swag I would say.

@TheBeardedBushranger i do love room to move when I'm sleeping. I get claustrophobic in small swags but weight is always an issue with actually carrying it anywhere. I suppose if you want to properly rough if then you can't have it both ways. Lol

Oh thanks heaps for watching, I appreciate that.

Fair enough, it's within the law to catch bass at 27cms and obviously there is a reason to that. I always stick within the law with what I do .. but everyones going to have different opinions and what should or shoudln't be done.

haha yeah but once the sun hits and you started warming up, you kind of want to stay lying down and catch up on all the sleep you missed. But yes the fog on the water was too much for me and I had to get up.

Thanks mate! I've only ever been to the south island, but it really was a beautiful place.

Thanks for that. Yeah I reckon there a lots of lessons to learn and we should hold onto those old ways.
