    Don't get too down Chris. I lost my entire left pinky finger and badly damaged my ring fingerover 20 years ago. Did some rehab but mostly just used my hand like nothing happened. I can still do everything I used to and don't even think about it any more. I even went back and used the same table saw that cut it off! Get back on the horse and get back out there for your own sake! Keep doing what you guys want to do! Live your dreams.

      I cut off my thumb on a table saw and was able to get reattached. Able to rack up am
      and ride again also. Don’t have much movement but better than a toe they wanted to sew on! 👍🏼

    OMG! What a scare that was! I have googled this fish but who could have thought they can bite your finger off. Seems that their teeth remain growing and growing and can be quite big. Happy to hear you are doing ok now and recovering well. And what a killer girl you have in Ange, I mean acting so fast and taking care and kicking you to the hospital. She has been really a rock for you in managing the whole situation. Lots of RESPECT Ange! Keep save you guys and we wish you a wonderful and healthy 2023 for the three of you. Karen & Nieck

    • @TheOutFit

      I definitely chose the wrong fish to mess with. Ange saved my butt like she has on so many occasions! Couldn't have done it without her.

    Wow Chris - that's such a crazy series of events. It's great that you guys had the foresight to both do your skippers license so Ange could just take over and get you back onshore in a hurry. It just goes to show that you need to be prepared for anything when you're travelling. Having a first aid kit with you was top of that list eh. Get well soon mate and all the best to you both for 2023 👍

      Agree
      It makes sense for Ange to also have a boat license, but, in an Emergency situation, it’s fair enough that someone not officially licensed, would drive a boat, or car, if need be, to transport an injured person to safety.

    Pretty gruesome story, thanks for sharing. It's funny I once had a bad accident on Moreton Island (sliped an Axe into my foot deep enough to cut a tendon to a toe) and I remember thinking the same thing as you Chris, I was like, na yeah, can probs just finish the camp and then deal with it, nope, it definitely needed emergency medical attention. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in 2023 and maybe catch you on the road some time.

Heck of a scar for little blood. We keep learning, stay safe out there.

    Thank you once again for the content of your video I'm so sorry that that happened to your hand. Happy that things are looking up for you in the new year. What I like in the first part of your videos when Andrew is trying to get in the boat and her cute little belly wouldn't let her do that until you got into shallow water. All the best to you in the new year can't wait to see that little, it will change your life forever, and love that you never thought you had. Until next time take care!

    When I had a K wire in my finger, I 3d printed up a cylinder closed off at 1 end. It provided protection from bumping and also kept it dry when showering best thing I ever did for it. It’s very cheap and easy, let me know if this could help as it looks like you have a bit of a healing journey ahead.

    • @TheOutFit
      @TheOutFit  Год назад

    Hi Chris & Ang, that was really rough experience, I think the fish was a Sea Toad some years back, a guy was beach fishing, and he had his big toe bitten off by a toad. Just as well, you didn't put the fish between your legs ...the out come could have been much worse.😀 hoping the finger heals well.

    • @TheOutFit
      @TheOutFit  Год назад +2

      Hi Ian, yes toad fish is another name for them I think. That's two people who have had a toe bitten off by them just in these comments! Haha wow - I would give 5 of my fingers instead of losing the crown jewels... Thanks mate

    Chris so glad to see you’re healing as well as could be expected after a serious injury. Kudos to Ange for handling the emergency so efficiently and bravely, specially, in her condition 🤰. You mentioned getting back in the water. Don’t gamble with your health by getting an infection. Why not just chill for awhile…
    Anyways, all the best to you and Ange. We look forward to the birth of your new baby boy. You know, he’s going to have a “world wide” group of Aunts and Uncles to virtually spoil him…😉

    • @aranha9365
      @aranha9365 Год назад

      I think his finger tip wouldn't get so bad if he had been having some sea water soak every day, so the wound would be cleaned. It seems that it was on bandages for too long and got infected because of that. That is my opinion based in what I just watched.

  • @charlesruffing21
    @charlesruffing21 Год назад

    When I was age 27 I was involved in a car wreck as a passenger. The shock of my injuries killed me. Subsequently for the past 46 years I have had to live in the kind of pain you describe with your finger. Just be happy knowing your pain will subside and life will get back to more or less normal. You will adjust to the "new" finger but as time goes by it will "remind" you that it was damaged. Pain brings out character.

    As a user of keyboards and calculators I felt your pain. I crushed my middle finger using a crowbar splitting it like a grape and breaking the bone at the tip. The concern then was infection in the bone. Had alls sorts of trouble with stitches not holding. 4 years later still no feeling in the finger. I think you were lucky not to break the bone. Wish you a speedy recovery. Yes take time out. Rest, recover and return.

    As someone who horribly mangled my fingers in an anchorage winch and had a middle finger dramatically amputated at the first knuckle, I will give some insight. That finger will be very sensitive to touch, like an electrical shock. Rest assured it will become desensitized over time where you won't notice it. Also, you may experience what I experienced. As my injured hand became more usable I noticed I was using my good hand as if it was also missing the finger tip. There was some right left brain thing going on. I had to remind my brain that nothing was wrong with my good hand to keep dexterity. It was wild. Also with your injury there is a chance part of your finger will grow back. I have a friend that lost the end of his thump just after the first joint and it grew back.

    You'll be right. It will probably hardly be noticeable in a year or two. I took the tip off my left thumb on a paper guillotine many years ago to a similar extent. Half way down the thumb nail but angled toward the tip, so it missed the bone. I only had it dressed at a hospital, no op or stitches. For a long time it was a bit shorter and flatter on the end, but now it's back to normal and you couldn't even tell it happened. Good luck with it.

Ended up with rope burns and stripped flesh and a lot of bleeding. I had to wrap it up and drive 30 mins to hospital. Many stiches at least 40 of the stick on one's were applied and it was wrapped up professionally ( living in a rural community the farmers are always getting bad fingers,the nurse told me).
    It's healed now but tendons must have been damaged as I have restricted movement and cold weather it throbs as a reminder of my stupid actions.

    What an ordeal hey? You've seen the North West Blowfish I guess. Same devil. They will bite through wire trace with no issue. Well at least there was no damaged bone from what you said. Lessons of life. Thank you for the great content and it allows us to come along for the ride. Happy New Year and be safe.

    I am surprised they did not do a skin graft. My son lost the tip of his finger late last year and they gave him an anaesthetic in the finger so he could go home for the night and then back the next day for surgery and a skin graft was done.
    I hope you have a good recovery. When you do rehab ask them for a plastic mould for your finger so it protects it from bumping it etc.
    Happy New Year, and wait to meet the new addition 😊

    • @TheOutFit
      @TheOutFit  Год назад

      Hi Katherine, they did take a flap of skin and try to cover my finger tip which has helped but it's not great. Maybe I could do with another one. I was given a silicone finger tip glove to wear at night for 'stump shaping'. It's weird ha.
      Happy new year to you too and thank you so much for watching. Cheers

    Ha! A few days ago I was working with a reckless coworker and the tip of my right (I am right handed) index finger got smashed. The doctors said it is a compound fracture and the bone is in pieces. I don’t really feel any pain, but my finger looks really strange. I feel for you as I am going a bit stir crazy with boredom. I can’t work at my job or go to the gym. Just kind of sitting around watching movies…and doing what I can to keep from getting depressed. 😬

    I am glad you are better.
    One tip: fish are very sensitive to vibration. Hold onto the rubber bands when you move your speargun to the side. Only let go of your grip around the bands, once you are in position to shoot.
    All the best to the two of you and be safe.

    A workmate pinched the end off his index finger too in a mechanical workshop. Very similar amount trimmed off the end.( He undone bolts on a gearbox cross member that had a torsion bar attached.) I hope you have a better journey than him. Three years later he could barely touch anything with it.

    Sorry man! I really injured my dominant index finger with a sledge hammer, still don't know what happened tbh. I know the pain you're talking about, glad you're through the worst of it. I got to keep my nail at least but the bone was always slightly separate inside so if I jab it into something I still 10 years later get a jolt of electricity. Best of luck on the recovery!

Chris i know what you're going through with your finger as I got the tip of my right ring finger caught in a hydraulic log splitter that required micro surgery but fortunately for me didn't loose anything it was just crushed out of shape so its all good. I wish you well In what will Be a long recovery to a new normal for you. But I understand your pain have a nice break just with anger and bub.

    Over here in WA, spearfishermen fear these big blowies more than sharks. Especially the often aggressive northwest blowie. They can take a chunk out of anything.

    Sorry about your finger Chris. Glad you are on the mend now, but good luck with it. People worry about spearos with sharks....who would have thought a puffer fish would have caused you so much trouble?! Great work Ange in your capability to look after Chris, and with the common sense to make him get into the hospital. Us males can be a bit stubborn at times ;) I see you are now working your way south, so if you get to Brisbane and want to go over to North Stradbroke island let me know and I will look after you.

    Hey guys, I just came across this channel. I can’t believe a big puffer fish bit the end of your finger off - that’s crazy. I caught one on a soft plastic a few weeks ago and it bent the hook with its beak almost sheared through it. I was filming it underwater and never knew about the risks associated. I used pliers to get the hook out but was in the water with it. Anyways, glad you are on the mend and I’ll put a warning in my video. Thanks guys. I’ve liked and subscribed to your channel as well. Take care and can’t wait to view some more content. Cheers 🥂 🎣
