    Really good Chrissy it’s great to see more behind the scenes, a lot of viewers would have no idea the amount of challenges and things your faced with out there you did a good job showing and explaining also shows just how remote and isolated, really enjoyed this 👍🏼👍🏼

      Ah, two of my favorite ppl to follow and watch. I spend a lot of time in the Canadian bush, so I can relate. It's the same but different.

    Best video yet. Really shows what it takes to be successful. Good job Kissy, awesome gold. And thanks for taking us with you and showing the behind the scene everyday stuff like turning around at the swap hole and going without bread. That sneaky snake comes back, you be sure to pop him with a stick, give him what for. Tell it to go catch a mouse somewhere else...🤠

    Krissy it's good to see gold again. Please be careful of snakes and creepy crawlies. The flash floods can be dangerous so listen the forecast. I assume you have an emergency radio and plan. Your trip to town will be sweet with some gold. I guess that I worry too much about you. Good luck and good hunting. 👍♥️♥️♥️

    A power winch with a decent length of cable would be a wise addition to the vehicle. Then I would research how to use it if there are no obvious places to anchor the other end. (Strong tree). Then again I would have turned back as you did, no point in inviting trouble when patience is the wise move. I punctured my petrol tank on a similar road to Exmouth (Pilbara), and it is zero fun being stuck on an empty road 40 km from safety. That said it is an adventure, you are young and the experiences you are now having will serve you well when your too old (like me) for such adventures. You make very watchable videos, thank you.

    @The-swampratt-nest Год назад

    Crissy, I wish to share something with you that is going to seem really far out.
    I was asked to find where a sewer line was either plugged or damaged. I instructed the owner to water the distance between the house and the street. The next day I came back with some experimental equipment.
    I had fashioned a fish finder ( humming bird 400) puck to the lower end of a 4 legged walking cane and used a small 12 volt battery to power the display.
    Moving it around between the house and the street I was able to locate the soil pipe and by watching the display was able to track and find the crushed pipe causing a pinpoint dig area.
    I have often wondered if using one similar but a bit more advanced on the display to find underground rocks and even possables gold that may have worked it's way into deeper pockets that a detector may not be able to see. As long as the ground is wet the transducer should work giving a fairly good representation of the alluvial bottom and the top of the bedrock . Could give you an insight on those raining days. I have enjoyed your presentations and wish you the best of fortune.

    Hi Chrissy. Love your channel. Just wanted to let you know that the flying termites are edible and very delicious. You can either dry fry them or with a bit of butter. They are also edible uncooked but alive. When the rains start for us they come out like crazy to mate and then there are those that die. Please try it. A very high source of protein. Just my two cents😊Keep doing what you are doing. We love it. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪

    I LOVE watching your videos! Such a bold and independent woman doing what you enjoy!!! I saw you struggling to find a target and needing a waterproof pin pointer, and wondered why you didnt just put it in a zip baggie when you need it waterproofed.
    No expense if you save one from your groceries. Tortillas usually come in one, so it wont even cost you a Penny! My favorite kind of fix. 🤣🤣🤣

  • @danieldeanmasterfinisher4715

    yeah this is great information on living in the outback. i don't understand how you have so many termites and i don't see much wood around for them to feed on but you sure could use a few more chickens to clean up the problem.

Well done, and thank you. I read all the comments, its amazing how we can all easily work out how to put a pinpointer in a plastic bag, in after thought👍☺. Hang in there mate, the weather will change eventually, all you have to do is... outlast it

    Thank you so much for the look behind the scenes and the continued awesome content. I dream of reaching that land one day but for now Arizona is my mini version, without half the bugs. 😂 I spent the last winter, summer and now this winter off grid in my motorhome with no ac. I had the option but as you said, it was no fun enjoying it for a bit just to have to acclimate to the outside temps again. I kept it only for the worst of days. I chased the gold every night during the summer to avoid the temps best I could, winter isn’t bad. While I found some amazing gold and truly lived a bucket list section in my life, my soul still itches to see that beautiful land you wander. Thanks so much for a genuine look into a gold prospectors life over that way. Nice job searching out that shiny yellerrrr!

    Sounds like you have a valve-stem leak? Spray some soapy water on it, if it bubbles you can tighten or replace it.
    That creek is perfect, especially where the rocks act as Sluice.

      @OutbackGoldFever  Год назад +1

      Flash floods are very likely to occur with big rain but not a worry when camping up high like out here. Rivers might not drop for a few weeks which is why there are plenty of supplies here to survive longer periods of isolation.

    You are one smart individual when it comes to covering your various needs. I won't lecture you on the need for water but when you shared your vehicle prep and water routine it somehow made me think of the phenomenal Robyn Davidson and her almost 1700km across the outback from Alice Springs to the Atlantic on foot and camel. You seem to have a similar "can do" spirit that is impossible to ignore.

    I was going to say about 2g altogether so I was way off
    Amazing country it's incredibly big and such old geology, there is nothing young in that part of WA. You certainly have enough ground to keep you busy for years to come never mind just how long you are staying at the camp.
    Out there I believe the termites eat mostly grasses and spinafex so I assume they are concentrating the minerals the grasses pick up out of the ground, hence the noisy termite mounds
    Great to see you finding some colkour but not so great that you can't get into to town. Thankyou for sharing the awesome scenery , those drone shots are spectacular.
    Looking forward to the next one.

    Very good video Chrissy. That was fun (for us) I can give you a good tip. Seeing as it is no man's land when you stop for lunch remove your shirt and hang it in the shade if there is a breeze. I can guarantee that you will think that bit came straight from a refrigerator. Really revitalizes you. I noticed that this week you had 47C days LOL. That would be fun. Collecting drinking water from that roof would replenish your supplies.The country is looking good.

    I look forward to my favourite Saturday night video. I have a Garrett pin-pointer. It has a vent on it that permits the sound to come out. Put some kind of sticky tape over the vent. Make sure its a waterproof tape. This should waterproof your pointer for a bit of time and let you check a puddle. Don't use the tape for a long term solution.
