      Rod’s calm and positive attitude are something I aspire to emulate when I have things go wrong. I sometimes have the reflex to get frustrated. Rod just dealt with it and moved on while still trying to enjoy himself, and in the end it looked like he was having a great time. He chose to. He’s really the kind of guy that should be making adventure videos like this.

    I feel like having to adapt to the situation and react to the storm, the island not being so ideal for camp and having to resort to cast fishing instead of spear made it all that more entertaining. Especially having to quickly set up camp and pick a spot because of the storm on the way. Stirred the pot and kept me on the edge of my seat to see what happens next. Made for such raw and authentic content and entertainment 👍

    It's so important to stay positive even if things don't go to plan, and although the negativity was there, it's important to show that it's okay for things not to go as planned and to still end up positive about the situation. I definitely appreciated seeing the effort to transition around from being negative to a net positive result!

    If you were suddenly stranded on an island with nothing but a knife, how confident are you that you would survive? (My money's on you)

    Rod. Thank you for this channel. My son is a very devoted and avid follower of your adventures. I wanted you to know that you have been a role model to our 12-year-old boy here in Southern California, USA from all the way over there in Aus. He is an active boy with many interests, RC plane building and flying, rugby, surfing, sailing, fishing, and now spearfishing because of you. I wish you can see our little guy channel you: he limits the number of fish he shoots to only what he can eat, leaving no trace when he leaves the beach, cleaning and cooking his own fish, and now growing his own salad and herbs for his fish (he saw you do this in one of your episodes). As a parent I can't thank you enough for this positive influence you have on him. You are making a long-lasting difference.

    Thanks Rod - The Whitsundays always provide a challenge for working around the islands and keeping on top of the tides.

    Really liking the selectivity in what to harvest. Just something I've noticed across your playlist. Thanks for the great films.

    I must watch hundreds of youtubers Rod, but your vids are TOP of my favourites. Take me back to exactly the sort of things I did in my younger days. Love it mate.
