      Yeah it all comes down to research and working out what you can and can't do. I find bigger national parks are usually more stict and I tend to avoid (except a few like the alpine national park) and crown land and state parks are pretty ok for a stealth camp if you are respectful and leave no trace.

    Great to see you giving the gunyah shelter a go mate. A tad saggy haha but not too bad. If you found that your feet were getting wet, you could have always removed the smaller stick and dropped the tarp to the ground to create a kinda plow point. Also, it was awesome to hear your story and see photos of your previous adventures. That 7 month trip up to FNQ sounds epic. I think into the wild made a big impression on a lot of young blokes. Stick with the vids mate, you’re making some genuinely good content and you’ll crack that 1000 in no time 👍🏼

      haha yeah she was a little sad and saggy. Good tip about bringing one point down in heavier rain, I'll remember that. I spent so much time remote wild camping in my younger years, and some of the locations up in north queensland were life shaping. Actually getting onto your videos last year was one of the inspirations to get back into wild camping after a few years off. Thanks for the encouragement, i'll certainly keep making vids.

      Many people move here for their image of Alaska, but last only a year. It is unlike anyplace I’ve ever been. It is not forgiving. Very harsh. Baron of many birds, insects and animals. In many states ( lower 48 ) the insects and birds are so plentiful in the woods it is nearly deafening. But in Alaska, it can get spooky at night due in part to the lack of animals, insects and birds. It is near impossible to explain. I like it to telling parents who are about to have their first child. You tell them they will have no more free time, you will love them 100 times more than any pet, and that they will change you. Their response is , I know - because I have done babysitting, seen kids at parks and tv, etc. But they have no idea! Same with Alaska.
