I'm a knife maker. I knew that blade was going to snap. Those Spyderco blades don't do well as pry bars. I'll send you a beefier clip point fixed blade with a kydex sheath, orange g-10 scales so ya won't lose it. Sad day for that blade indeed.
I’m so grateful for your videos man. They’re shot really well but they also speak to some deep instinct for exploration and eating off the land/sea. Big appreciation brother thanks so much
Quite the adventure! The beach you found is beautiful and very secluded. Perfect for weekend getaways. Sleeping on the boat was the better solution though. Not knowing exactly how the tide was going to act and not wanting to damager your awesome little boat. Other than the 1/4 kilo of pepper, the CT looked delicious... lol. Fortunately it was large enough to pick off and not ruin your meal. I'm hoping one day you will get a sponsor for a nice, half million dollar or million dollar yacht. Complete with a couple births, a couple heads with showers and a big galley where you can cook with all the creature comforts from home. You have half a million subscribers, I know it can happen! Another great video, thanks mate!
Your videos are essential Sunday night viewing on the big screen tv with a few glasses of wine for me and the wife. The videos continue to delight and amaze us. Thank you Rod, for having the best content on RUclips, we never miss an episode.
Oh my goodness, the tastiest fish, coral trout, the loviest nut, macadamias, and some crunchy healthy greens, Bok Choy, thanks for another dose of outdoors adventure and food joy.
This one was a ripper it had everything we as viewers needed to keep us interested and entertained. Exploding pepper grinders, rising tides, a broken knife and a great selection of fish. Thanks for sorting out my Saturday nights viewing.
Rod just a couple things to add to the boat, 1 and oyster knife, 2 a battery powered fluro light you can get from Big W I have one on my boat and it has lasted for almost 2 years, and third if you're going to sleep on the beach a small plastic rake. And don't forget the solar panel you were talking about.
Another great video love the island camping vids. If you want a suggestion (which you must get heaps of, apologies) pack a couple of tube fenders if you want to get the boat off the beach if you miss the tide, lift the front put 1 under the keel it'll slide easily over the sand then when that 1 gets halfway down put the other under the front and push when the first slides out the back take it to the front and repeat. I've pushed a boat easily half again the size of yours hundreds of meters over a sand flat doing this and while it wasn't easy it was very doable and got me out of a very uncomfortable night.
Just want to say i really appreciate the effort you put into your content, i wish i could get these daily (i know they take awhile to film). keep up the hard work man, you deserve all the praise for the commitment you make to giving quality content.
If met Rod in person he would seem an established acquaintance and I'd offer him any amount of fee nessessary for a jont to one of those islets.. .afterwards Id be able to die happily. (your videos are almost as g ood as being there)!!! as Rock on Rod!
Awesome video, Rod. Getting back to the original formula of going out camping somewhere trying to catch your dinner. I could easily watch 2 hours of this at a time. Thank You for sharing this part of your life with us!
Hi Rod You had my mouth watering in the end. Only saw this one as I was catching up and glad I found it. Amazing islands you have out there and great to see that you are living it up. Keep it up mate. Hope you can make it out to our part of the world one day as it would be great to show you around.
The beauty of your country just blows my mind! Every rock formation, every island, every beautiful expanse of water are just breaktaking! Thank you for always taking me someplace I would never had otherwise seen. XOXOX Great fish!!! And I have to be honest, when you threw it back, it made me a little sick to my stomach
An over the top option for leaving the alloy boat anchored is to tow the red boat and use it as a tender to get on/off the beach. What most do is to pack a very small kayak for beaching.
Its great to see your videos are authentic and you leave in the mistakes and missteps. It reminds me of fishing and camping with my dad, we always had things go wrong and at the time it seamed like the end of the world. But I remember those inidents with fondness now and I have a laugh with my mum and brother when reminiscing about my dad. So many people today try to portray a fake perfect life, which to me is no fun.
I spend all day working in a factory in 125F heat, and when I get home after a shower I enjoy watching your videos, and others who are out in nature in all of it's various places it's like a fireworks show.
Hi brother,I have been watching your videos non stop I really enjoy them,you have actually given me the courage to start my own channel on fishing....just two lads from south africa 🇿🇦 thank you for that
Great vid. Most people will never eat fish that good or fresh. Thanks for sharing. I think you and the Turtle are due for an epic island camping trip......
Sorry about your knife, the siren is one of my favorite fishing knife. Unfortunately while LC200N is ultra corrosion resistant and has very good edge retention, it is not a tough steel. For prying and hacking carbon steels excel but are prone to corrosion. You should look at knives that employ magnacut steel, they have an amazing balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention but come at a price.
I've been watching and recommending your videos to my friends for a couple years now. And we love your videos! It is perfect to watch when we smoke together (stereotypical dutch behavior). Regards from the Netherlands. Keep up the amazing content! ❤
For opening coconuts - find a stout short stick - sharpen it both ends - push one end into the sand, then ram the coconut onto the sharpened end that is sticking up - the push on the coconut - it will start to peel away the husk.
You are one of my favourite RUclips channels and I eagerly wait for Saturdays when we can expect new content from you. Please keep up the awesomeness. Love and respect from India.
Why do I watch you at the worst times.. 3 in the morning and my mouth is watering cus now I’m hungry for fish and veggies. Same with the coconut never had one like that.
Hey, I think you just came up with an awesome coconut knife idea!!! Great video! I have not watched all summer because I’ve been doing a lot of gardening🌱
My grandson and I are watching your very informative videos. Man, I'd pay to go out with you! Most wouldn't know how to exist like you're doing. Make sure you find a permanent machete slot on your beautiful boat. Be safe brother...
There was a great episode of 'The Andy Griffith Show' in the later years when it was in color, , or maybe it was 'Mayberry RFD'. Howard Sprague had worked all his life, saved his money, and decided to retire on a remote island where the weather was perfect, the beach was perfect, no traffic, just idyllic splendor. Howard moved there and in a short time went into a daze, just sat and stared blankly ahead with his mouth open.
God they are beautiful fish and the flesh looks amazing!!!! We don’t have then here on the east coast of America!!!! I one day hope to get over there catch and enjoy a coral trout one day!!!! That’s definitely on the bucket list, well fishing over there!!!!
i learned about your channel through Outdoor Chef Life channel. You have a great laid back style, man. Keep it up, i love exploring different climates through youtube's outdoor content. Howdy from Texas, brother.
First time seeing your videos mate...amazing!! Great setup and so glad you are able to share it with us. Looks like ive got some watching to catch up on too. And some accessories to buy for my boat lol
Just imagine if you spill those pepper corns on the sandy beach. At least it wouldn't be wasted spilled in the boat on top of a cloth spread. Lucky unlucky Rod. That fish looked amazing and mouth watery good.
Another cool string of Islands rod!! Beautiful scenery👌filming was perfectly executed as always. Nice gt and the coral trout looked delicious 🤤 take care my friend.
I m from sri lanka .we ara expert for coconuts . Your fist choice not good. Because this coconuts fold down because the sun. Anyway your second dry one is the most best one so you. Make best meal with it. Fist cut and. Get out coconuts with shell and. Coconuts piles little burn with fire like bbq and. Aftet burn coconuts chop very little and you add salt. chily pikes and lime. Then. You got "polsambola"lite version This name is local name in my country so now you can try... Bye have a nice day thzzz❤
Over 60 years ago, we lived in isolation on the beach. Even that long ago we had blow up rollers. Our boat was 15ft wood plank. Far heavier than your little tin boat and two of us put it in and pulled/pushed it out. I am sure if you looked around you could find a couple that would roll up no bigger than a dunny roll. Just saying........Thanks for sharing.
Sweet vid as always. Sorry i did laugh hard with the pepper spill 😂 im sure we have all done somtehing similar. My best mess was a jar of milo. The dog loved it.
One of my favourite islands, i go when wind is light from the north and sleep in my 4.5m on the other side! Spent a week out there last time, good job!
Another good one! I really like the solo island camping vids the best ❤. Im going to be doing a lot of that coming up, just got me a mini Basstender 10.2 boat that is going to be a lot of fun!!
Those Pepper grinders are a crime. At least with pepper you can pick it out. My salt did the same thing, There was no saving that meal. Nice work mate👌
Great video! you should look into the Morakniv Garberg Survival knife. I use it when wade fishing to dispatch fish and just incase I come across an alligator. I even used it to dispatch an alligator gar from the top of its head (extremely tough head) and its still going strong.

My dad just passed away but we used to love watching your videos together and just talk about the outdoors, thanks for reminding me of him today
I'm so sorry for your loss. What a great memory that you have of watching these great videos with him!
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's great that these videos can evoke the good feelings you shared with him.
Sorry to hear, the Rokkit kit community is here for you. Keep watching the content, your dad will be with you in spirit.
awh man you guys really warmed my spirit today god bless
Prayers up friend. Your dad is here watching with all of us.
🙏😘
Hello mate. I bingded on you videos for 5 days while I was layed up. I went out today and spent $25k on a boat.
I'm a knife maker. I knew that blade was going to snap. Those Spyderco blades don't do well as pry bars. I'll send you a beefier clip point fixed blade with a kydex sheath, orange g-10 scales so ya won't lose it. Sad day for that blade indeed.
Yea I stuffed up there for sure, got way too heavy handed😢
You're living a life that most of us want to live, Thanks for sharing this, stunning views and great content as always.
Get out there & do it then! It’s not hard
@@-dystopic-very entitled statement. Some people can't physically do it.
@@marcum211 everyone can do some type of adventuring, it may not be as cool as Rod’s, but everyone can do something.
@@-dystopic- that's not what you said before.. and also you are WRONG. END OF STATEMENT.
@@-dystopic-I'm a quadriplegic writing this with the assistance of a machine. Tell me what I can do! Tell me! How easy will it be?! 🫵🔥💩
I’m so grateful for your videos man. They’re shot really well but they also speak to some deep instinct for exploration and eating off the land/sea. Big appreciation brother thanks so much
Thanks for watching mate🤙
So glad to see that I’m not the only one to have troubles with the pepper grinder…

I wouldn’t have been able to leave that first island. They’re all so beautiful.
Also, great job enjoy your life. Envy is an understatement. 👍
Very humbling u didn't edit the mistake out with the grinder,, that's why we love u kit
Thanks to Rod I now know 386 ways to catch, clean and cook Coral Trout!
Your videos are essential Sunday night viewing on the big screen tv with a few glasses of wine for me and the wife. The videos continue to delight and amaze us. Thank you Rod, for having the best content on RUclips, we never miss an episode.
Thanks for watching 🏆🤙
These videos are so soothing to watch. Helps with depression, thank you.
I'm in Sheffield pal , UK is shit . I suppose we are lucky to be born here . But it's fkd now .
Rod!!! Just get the filet table for the boat! It’s not about the “eye sore” it’s about functionality and comfort for you! DO IT you won’t regret it
That pepper shaker incident has happened in my kitchen too many times than I'd like to admit.
Happens to the best of us man. XD
Oh my goodness, the tastiest fish, coral trout, the loviest nut, macadamias, and some crunchy healthy greens, Bok Choy, thanks for another dose of outdoors adventure and food joy.
This one was a ripper it had everything we as viewers needed to keep us interested and entertained. Exploding pepper grinders, rising tides, a broken knife and a great selection of fish.
Thanks for sorting out my Saturday nights viewing.
Thank for not wasting the larger fish...
Great contents. I've been watching for years. Thank you!
The Sun is slowly making a return to the southern latitudes again. Looking very tropical out!
What I love about this channel is there is something for everyone. If you’re a boat enthusiast, fishing enthusiast or a catch & cook enthusiast! 🫶🏻✌🏻
Always a Great start to the weekend when a new Rokkit vid drops!
Rod just a couple things to add to the boat, 1 and oyster knife, 2 a battery powered fluro light you can get from Big W I have one on my boat and it has lasted for almost 2 years, and third if you're going to sleep on the beach a small plastic rake. And don't forget the solar panel you were talking about.
The ocean will forever amaze me!!! I still can't get over the amount of water and depth!!!! It's just insane!!!

If met Rod in person he would seem an established acquaintance and I'd offer him any amount of fee nessessary for a jont to one of those islets..
.afterwards Id be able to die happily. (your videos are almost as g ood as being there)!!! as Rock on Rod!

Yes Rod, season’s greetings to you and your family. Huge thanks for your effort all year, enjoy every vid. Cheers
Hi Rod
You had my mouth watering in the end. Only saw this one as I was catching up and glad I found it. Amazing islands you have out there and great to see that you are living it up.
Keep it up mate.
Hope you can make it out to our part of the world one day as it would be great to show you around.
First Islands out there I've seen with zero pollution washed up....Makes a nice change.
Just the massive rope and some bottles in the background. Certainly very light on comparatively!
Young coconut is very unlikely to fall off its tree unless it's bad and rotten. You have to climb it to get it.
The beauty of your country just blows my mind! Every rock formation, every island, every beautiful expanse of water are just breaktaking! Thank you for always taking me someplace I would never had otherwise seen. XOXOX Great fish!!! And I have to be honest, when you threw it back, it made me a little sick to my stomach
Perfect timing, needed a nice video to relax ❤

Very adventurous. Looking at the sea is really nice but also very dangerous
Great video mate! Your videos break up my day. Thanks from California.
I spend all day working in a factory in 125F heat, and when I get home after a shower I enjoy watching your videos, and others who are out in nature in all of it's various places it's like a fireworks show.
My friend you bring the new wonders of the world to us. Thank you from all of us watching you
Hi brother,I have been watching your videos non stop I really enjoy them,you have actually given me the courage to start my own channel on fishing....just two lads from south africa 🇿🇦 thank you for that
Another great vid Ron, really enjoying your content. The authority was real smooth, am loving mine
Great vid. Most people will never eat fish that good or fresh. Thanks for sharing. I think you and the Turtle are due for an epic island camping trip......
Always a good day when there’s a new rokkit kit upload

Rod, Bradford Guardian 4.2 CPM MagncCut knife will be perfect for you!
Had to move for work recently and I've been super stressed out. Your content always makes the day better, thanks a ton man.
Why do I watch you at the worst times.. 3 in the morning and my mouth is watering cus now I’m hungry for fish and veggies. Same with the coconut never had one like that.
Sweet spot Rod! Cool to see a new island. Boat tent for the win. Good looking meal.
I tuned out for a bit and come back to see a future boat and multiple camera angles, living the life keep up the vids
Inflatable kayak or paddle board, anchor the boat and then paddle in with your tent and gear, great vid as always Rod 👍
Hey, I think you just came up with an awesome coconut knife idea!!! Great video! I have not watched all summer because I’ve been doing a lot of gardening🌱
Dinner recipe coming tonight! Love re creating your videos man! They’ve all been absolutely fantastic!❤
My grandson and I are watching your very informative videos. Man, I'd pay to go out with you! Most wouldn't know how to exist like you're doing. Make sure you find a permanent machete slot on your beautiful boat. Be safe brother...
I laughed hard at the peppercorns. Sorry Rod 😂. Legit laughed. Thanks for the content

Homer's Revenge List at 26:45 hahahahahahahhahaha
Your so minimalist! Get yourself a backpacking tent that keeps the Mossies and the ants out.
Great video..
Using an Inflatable paddle board and anchor offshore would work well, it’s what we do in the Florida Everglades where the tides can be 30’ out
God they are beautiful fish and the flesh looks amazing!!!! We don’t have then here on the east coast of America!!!! I one day hope to get over there catch and enjoy a coral trout one day!!!! That’s definitely on the bucket list, well fishing over there!!!!
i learned about your channel through Outdoor Chef Life channel. You have a great laid back style, man. Keep it up, i love exploring different climates through youtube's outdoor content. Howdy from Texas, brother.
That was a great fish, on a lighter set-up! Awesome catch and release!
First time seeing your videos mate...amazing!! Great setup and so glad you are able to share it with us. Looks like ive got some watching to catch up on too. And some accessories to buy for my boat lol
Just imagine if you spill those pepper corns on the sandy beach. At least it wouldn't be wasted spilled in the boat on top of a cloth spread. Lucky unlucky Rod. That fish looked amazing and mouth watery good.
Yess!! And its an hour long. I can watch your videos all day broo🔥 you out there on your cool adventures
would love to see more adventures to this island and survival videos 👍
Another cool string of Islands rod!! Beautiful scenery👌filming was perfectly executed as always. Nice gt and the coral trout looked delicious 🤤 take care my friend.
You're an absolute legend mate! Thank you always for the awesome videos

Go for it. I think eating fish on the boat is far better. Amazing video.
Sorry to bug you while you were cooking today, man. Had a fan boy moment. Love the channel!
Sweet vid as always. Sorry i did laugh hard with the pepper spill 😂 im sure we have all done somtehing similar. My best mess was a jar of milo. The dog loved it.
One of my favourite islands, i go when wind is light from the north and sleep in my 4.5m on the other side! Spent a week out there last time, good job!
Hey mate, if you don't mind...what island is it? Wish he would say...just for a heads up for if it's even in a distance that I would travel to. Cheers
You could make your own fold out cooking board...maybe out of marine ply or something, might be better for storage when not in use....👍
Cool adventure mate!! I wanted that GT for sure😊🐟🎣🍻👍
I came for the trip, I stayed for the meal 👍
You are my favourite RUclipsr bro , when one of your videos
Pop up.. it's happy days
Another fun adventure! Wish i could do something like this ! 😊 cool view around 2:40
Brilliant, Rod. Tearing it down. Enter, Bounty hunter. Heh. The great outdoors! 40 kms?
His literally living my dream✨ perfect introvert haven ahhh.❤
Another good one! I really like the solo island camping vids the best ❤. Im going to be doing a lot of that coming up, just got me a mini Basstender 10.2 boat that is going to be a lot of fun!!
Was interested to see how you'd clean the boat. Keen for the next one!
Do you ever take your family on island trips like this? Might be a fun experience for a day or two.
Idk with the kids and depending how moody the wife is gonna be, which u never know.. could be but it could also not be 😂
Morakniv 4.1" is a strong stainless blade made for being used... super helpful on a boat or survival situation... and affordable. Available on Amazon
Awesome video.. love the island view plus location and the food prep
Those
Pepper grinders are a crime.
At least with pepper you can pick it out.
My salt did the same thing,
There was no saving that meal.
Nice work mate👌
Love that boat! Wish they sold them here in the states.
What kind is it??
Great video! you should look into the Morakniv Garberg Survival knife. I use it when wade fishing to dispatch fish and just incase I come across an alligator. I even used it to dispatch an alligator gar from the top of its head (extremely tough head) and its still going strong.
Another awesome video..l You should get one of those cheap camp chairs for lounging on the boat at the end of the day….
Thanks for supporting the Macadamia industry rod
GT and Coral trout dinner, perfect day.
Love your work Rodney! Loved the trout cook up with some Asian greens! One of my personal favourites too 😊
