Really appreciate it when you label the fish and items you see
*TIP: You ought to bring some GHEE a type of clarified butter that doesn't need refrigeration. Could fry some fish with it & for crayfish, potatoes & whatever you would use butter for!! 👍🏻😋 Beautiful footage, as always, thanks for bringing us along!! 🥰
That's an excellent tip 👍
Fran who swims with sharks is afraid of a little mouse.
😂
Me too , Cinderella is my fave Disney
Aye, way cool, thank you for sharing
My new hero list has changed
Exactly what I was fixing to write😂
Fran you Legend....we love you on the channel🇿🇦
Got to be one of the nicest couples on YT...no B/S, no carrying on like others, just a lovely mature couple.
Your identifying the sealife, giving an idea of where you are on the map is awesome.Thanks so much guys.
Both just so lucky to have found each other...
Here i am in the UK and in total awe of you guys. Fearless, entertaining, and above all knowledgeable. I cant wait for my Sunday evening sit down to watch what you've been up to. I tell anyone who will listen about your videos. Keep up the amazing adventures. I hope i can return to Oz again one day so i can swim among to reefs.
It’s a great life over here mate! Get over here and give it a crack
Strick would have to be your first choice to have in a lifeboat. Skills, intelligence and positive demeanor. Such a contrast in scenery from the other places you have been. But no matter where you guys go, no shoes, even in the land of Reindeer, wading in icy water. That is beyond me. I never thought I would ever see the Salty Dingo again, so cool.
Don’t know if y’all would be interested but Brooks Crist Outdoors has an amazing lobster tickle stick and net that she designed herself !! Looks like it works great!!!
I had a medical issue and recovery a few years back and thats when i first started watching your vids, while recuperating at home for nearly 2 months, good to see you back on the salty dingo, brings back some memories
Pumped to see the Salty Dingo back in action!!! Fran scared of a mouse and swimming with sharks is funny…
- 20:18 The cuttlefish is *deff* a beautiful highlight. It *knew* you could've ate it, but instead, it trusted you && was *just as* if not more, curious than you were. ❤
Srick and Fran, it's always fantastic to watch your episodes even if you don't watch them in sequence. A mix of learning with experiences, adventure and life. Once you start watching it, it's unstoppable. If I watched National Geographic as a kid, I believe that the naturalness of your presentation makes everything more appealing, giving everything an unexpected aspect. A lot of work behind these episodes, well done and very good.
Nice to see the struggle behind the art to appreciate what you guys do.
Yes! Was thinking the same.
Awesome ! leaving the concrete jungle and jumping into a new adventure in the open sea & and explore islands is what you both Fran & Strick do best ! LOVE all your exciting brilliant under - and over water footages ! Good luck❤!❤✌
Hello STRICK and Fran glad to see you guys back at it. Love the footage love the adventures from San Diego California.
Fran is such an incredible woman. What a lucky man you are! I am an outdoor person my wife is the total opposite. She is an expert at complaining and if not for my boat I would have to endure the pain of being with her 24 hours a day 😂 thanks for the content and for sharing a special part of your lives with us.
PS baby if you read this I love you more than life itself. Just a little insurance 😅😅😅
two wonderful people. and castaways kitchen is absolutely incredible
That beach full of the small shells 🐚was extraordinary. I couldn't make out what kind of bird Fran said made the nest on the cliff. I appreciated the titles identifying what you look at while diving. I can't believe you guys went different directions with so many sharks 🦈🦈 near. You mention the bird smell. Sell scratch and sniff cards for the B2B castaways! Bird guano, sea air, fish, campfire smoke, fish frying, coconut, flowers etc. The viewing audience gets a more full experience.
Freaking LOVVVVE this channel so much and I hope Strick will always support Fran because she is the woman I wanted to be. I wanted to be a marine biologist on a science ship studying Humpback whales but life took a crazy turn for me so it didn't happen unfortunately. I am in awe of her education and her love of you, Strick. Working on my dive certification right now and while it won't push me into a career studying one of the most beautiful animals in the ocean, it will allow me to live underwater whenever I can! 🌎🌊🐋🐢🥰💙
How about a compilation of all of your beach meals? Amazing you can conjure up such delicious food and serve it like a 4 star restaurant! Love to experience them all in one video.
Long time follower, first time commenting.
I love you guy's, in my opinion, this is the best youtube channel out there. The cinematography is second to none, and every episode is original and very entertaining.
Keep up the great work, Strick and Fran, you guys rock.
So glad Fran is talking to us again.
You guys are living the Dream. Love watching your adventures! Stay safe.
Watching from Northern California, the sitting lady on side of Salty Dingo, looks like emblem for Beer in Tahiti . Love watching your videos, finall got to spent a month on your Gold Coast , my wife and I, in 2018, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. If you want to explore California, also the Gold country here, come and stay with Us.
Strick, surprised you didn’t check the Salty Dingo before you left, you sorted out the truck. Riley would be slapping your wrists for you, for not checking, what is essentially your home for the next few months. be careful shes an old girl now with battle scars. Loving the new episode even though missing the newer boat.
i love this channel! fran is the woman i wish i could have swooned in my younger days! congrats strict ! you and fran have a bright future ahead of you!! keep the adventures! alive!
It must be breathtaking being surrounded by so much beauty. U guys manage to capture some really amazing underwater and land shots of the wildlife. Sometimes it seems to put on a show for the camera.
Amazing channel.
Edinburgh, Scotland.
Beautiful place & a beautiful sky thank you 👍👍🙏🇬🇧
Y’all have me sooooo hooked on watching your adventures that I’m now on track with catching your new videos every time you post them now ❤❤❤ I love y’all and enjoy keeping up with your adventures 🤩
I just absolutely love you two. You have the best and most epic adventures. Makes me wish i was young again. Please be safe, looking forward to living your new adventure with you. Love from the U.S.
GREAT! another adventure with Salty Dingo and the open top Italian Restaurant 😉. We didn't recognise the lady in jeans and tee shirt at first... 🤣. Good luck guys with the new adventure...Love from the UK.
By VERY "VERY" FAR these guys and La Vaga are the best channels out there... at least for me :)
PS: Both are couple goals... for SURE
The way you embrace the solitude and natural beauty of such an isolated experience reflects your spirit of adventure and love for the outdoors. Your journey not only highlights your passion for exploration but also inspires others to seek out their own extraordinary experiences in nature. And I am Floating Village Life.
Isn’t it funny how animals that can pass on disease to humans, we naturally have a fear of, in what seams to be irrational thinking, but is actually an instinct we have developed over hundreds of years. Seeing Fran cringe at the thought of the mouse is funny when you see her diving deeper than most men, and swimming with tiger sharks, the most venomous snakes in the world and other critters most Europeans would run from screaming. Love
Your work guys.
39k views in 5 hrs. You guys are amazing. Glad to see the dingo was repairable. I wait for your new episodes every week. Thank you guys so much for keeping it free to us poor folks stuck inland. Love you guys and can't wait to keep watching. I tell everyone I know about your adventures. Can't say it enough you guys are the real thing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
70k in 11 hours… loving the views..
- Glad to see a new video 📹 🙌🏽!
Strick an Fran I love you all can't get enough man I'm from Trinidad and Tobago.. bless..
The more labels of the different species the better for me i really love when you do that in your videos. I live on the other side of the world and i find it really interesting... Thanks guys cant wait to see what you guys get into!
another adventure keep safe❤❤❤ watching your adventure from the philippines shout out thank you!❤
What a wonderful way to start a new adventure! When you guys going to start a real adventure and have a kid? With Fran as the mom, and Strick as the dad, it would be an awesome baby!!
Just a little tip when you sit your equipment that long you should go through the whole thing front to back grease everything up check everything it's easier to do it there than when you're out and about 😊
It is incredible how beautiful, rugged and diverse Australia is. We are fortunate to get to see it with you two. I had a friend who drove 30,000 miles around Aus and remember seeing his photos. This was back in the 90's. Now with high def video it all comes to life.
Thanks guys! A life-long dream of mine was to visit your beautiful country. I may not get to see it with my own eyes, but thanks to you and your adventures, I get to experience it "first-hand".
It is a beautiful place.
Woo-Hoo another Great Adventure with Strick & Frannie!!! I can't tell you how much I look forward to these forays into the Amazing areas in and around Australia! You always have the best adventures, as well as the best video capturing them while showing off the flora and fauna that surrounds you both! It's nice to see the "Salty Dingo" in it's natural element once again, and I hope it's two year vacation wasn't too hard on it and it's systems so that the rest of this Grand Adventure goes smoothly with no major issues (like swamping her in the surf,.....sorry Fran!). It's also very lovely to see you both back in your natural element and I look forward to every Sunday (Saturday evening here in the Great White North) to see what you guys have gotten up to!! Best wishes on another Magnificent Adventure, with much Love from here in Canada!! - Dave
Yo! Wicked coast line! OKay where's the shots of the dingo body work, fiberglass and sanding ugh! Typhoon survivors and Fran seems pumped to see what's what! 🙏👍👍. ThAnks!
Yes. We want to see the repairs. Also that tank in the front after repairs makes me nervous. Side tanks ftw
Guys, wishing you the best of luck for a safe, happy and fun time on your 'The Great Adventure 5'! 1st episode epic as ever!
So looking forward to following along with you, thanks for sharing totally unique places, wildlife, amazingly fresh and tasty food, that I can only dream of experiencing! Take care guys and much ❤ to you both!
Wow. This is a fun new way to travel with you.
Much love from out here in the high deserts of southern Utah, Zion.
I love seeing you play on the water, but the desert Landscape travel is something I know by heart
Wildin', alien beauty
I hope to visit one day. You're welcome at my fire anytime
Cheers
Love, peace, unity
My wormhole to happiness.
Wishing you both a fabulous adventure
Just glad to have you guys back..seriously missed your dives and ad hoc meals! .. Enjoy yourselves and stay safe🥰 sending you all good wishes and hugs from 🇬🇧 xx
Good to see Fran...'back on the barrel', maybe she can find a table shaped piece of wood to put on top of it for a seat/table.
I do miss the Kimberly's!
Ah, the aroma of gasoline with dinner.
Welcome out West! We love our redbacks here :)
Take care. Am a little confused with timelines after cast away and indo trip, but if you're here in the winter right now, blue skies abound but can be cold!
I love western Australia, such raw beauty. And the ocean is just teeming with wildlife
If you think W.A lobsters are good wait till you've had Southern rock lobster from the cold waters of Bass Strait!...also good to see you guys back Sundays weren't the same without you!!
Fabulous video...ive been to the Pinnacles Desert...weird place but beautiful...so looking forward to see more of this adventure😁👍
Wow what an awesome adventure and big ups to the salty dingo she's a beast of a boat. I wish you fair winds and safe travels. Can't wait to see what's next ❤❤❤
Its called Shark Bay for a reason! Marine life everywhere you look in that joint.
I reckon I could have watched you two unpack and pack your entire Ute and enjoyed it as much as I did with this episode! Loved it. Love the adventures. Thanks guys
I cannot believe the best duo on YT are literally in my home town right now in Perth! You drove straight past my building in the CBD- thank you for all that you share, it has inspired me (after HOURS and HOURS of watching all of your videos), to stop the rat race and pursue life as a nomad/business owner. Hope to meet you two one day and say thank you in person. Appreciate you both!!
Thanks for sharing your dream life. Its great you are following the dream.
One of the best channels on RUclips. I love the informal, unscripted nature of you two. Eating a lovely hand caught dinner on top of a drum of fuel....I wouldn't change a thing.
If anyone follows the Cartwrights, I think they were in the same place with all the tomb looking rocks in the sand... Pretty cool.
I am so happy to see b2b back out on the water with the salty dingo. Fran is as lovely as ever.
So stoked you guys are back on our beautiful west coast, let’s go!!
Dont hate, appreciate the effort they go through, survival on Australia coast is not easy, maybe what they say will save your life one day. Think about it. I am a no body from gold coast and bondi so respect the ocean and if you dont know. You dont know
outstanding!!! be safe and have fun!!!
Hi Fran and Strick, I enjoy your beautiful videos...specially when Fran shares her amazing abilities to spear fishing with such a precision or just fishing from the beach or from the edge of the boat, you are so unique and on top of all that your are a great chef with great recipes that I try and taste so good! Your videos are so educational and impressive...Thank you for all you both do! Manuela from Los Angeles CA.
So good to have you guys back ❤ can’t wait to see where you take us
Happy for you, looking awesome. Very interesting adventures and fun times together!
I live in london now & have done for ten years now…. I watch you guys when I get homesick, the one thing I still can’t change about my behaviour is checking for red backs and funnel webs… not them specifically, but it is habitual behaviour that I can’t ever change, I also notice any
Movement out of the corner of my eye, which is also another throwback I have to living with snakes and spiders and being out bush all the time. No matter what I do, I can’t change that one thing about being an Aussie
Thanks For The Great Update ! Stay Safe ! ( EX R.N Officer ) From a Windy North Kent UK )😊
Luv you guys. Strick, give the girl a night out in a nice restaurant before you travel. The lady is starting to look as though she could do with a good feed.
Love that the table is the fuel barrel. Hope it was the best trip ever, Fran and Jack. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks for sharing some of the behind the scenes stuff with bringing the salty dingo out of retirement. It's a nice change. Much enjoyed
I have so much respect for you guys your so intelligent on sealife and watching your videos is like Im learning something lots every video.Fran is an amazing lady she is just amazing Id be afraid she just knows so much and has so much experience but still !You both are amazing!
Hey I’m sure you guys know this but it doesn’t appear that your tires were aired down nearly enough for driving on soft sand. Let them down to 10psi or so and you will have MUCH better traction in the sand
You guys are awesome! I love your videos. I'd love some land camping and trekking. You guys have the best Toyotas in Australia. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos and letting us enjoy them free.
Not gonna lie. That fold out stove you guys have is awesome!!
Welcome to WA mate! Nice to have you here showing off our awesome coastline.
Comorrants wings are extremely oily. So when the wings get wet, it means that the oil has washed away and water has seeped into the feathers so they have to dry their wings before the oil can come out and coat their wings again.
Fran adds a certain element to these vids I must say.
Yup the wow factor & focus on control.
Strick meets Fran, spends his days on deserted islands with Fran.
If that isn't 🇦🇺's version of the Fonz, idk what is.
Isn't it incredible how such a tiny mouse can scare the daylights out of some adults. What really scares me is the diseases one could catch from such a small rodent.
I had all of my bed set up including spare blankets, clothes, sealed dry foods and camping gear in the back of my crew cab long bed Ute. Well they went up the tyres, along the leaf springs, along the under carriage , onto the rear bumper bar and them through the gap between the tail gait of my Ute body.
My goodness, there must have been an extended family of mice throwing a huge party opening up all the dry foods, chewing up the blankets and building a nest. There was urine and droppings every where. The stench of urine was un-breathable, un-bearable. Took a long time to clean and wash every thing that was salvageable. I threw the rest.
Lesson learnt, don't keep food that mice can smell in your Ute or camping truck for an extended time.
When you get back to the truck, b wary of those calipers letting go. The will extend out so far that the pins will release fluid which will affect the front brakes. You will have no brakes at all that means zero.
We have the same rippling current at the end of Grand Isle off the coast of Louisiana. It's a 100-foot channel that you dare not get deeper than your knee or your gone. 😮😂
The adventure begins. Nice to see the Salty Dingo. Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing.
Probably my favourite stretch of our coast line.
Fran is sooooooooooo GORGEOUS!!!!❤
Wow😮guys. Looking at it, I know ya feelings, but the "Salty Dingo" should be turnt into a houseboat. You know, left in the house. Your choice, your swim😳. My fingers crossed. Memphis,10🇺🇲
love the few times you show overcoming mechanical issues good job keep it up
West coast with 200L drum of fuel and western rock lobster... my guess is Abrolhos Islands. Perfect weather in April/May when it's nots so windy. Love your adventures.
Or Dirk Hartog Is ??
Another incredible Great Adventure. Loving the underwater scenery and drone shots. Good to see the Salty Dingo repaired and back in action.
Bold to take that boat set up out for a long trip again given it showed the weight upfront breaks the hull with riding in heavy water.
Great start to the new adventure and hyped to be taken along for the rest of it!! Be safe and thanks for sharing - so appreciated!
Thanks guys! Beautiful episode! If u think thats cold come jump in the water in the sea around england hahahaha 🤣👌🤷🏻♂️💯💚🙏☮
Great vids , wonderful couple and Fran is beautiful inside and out
Fran " Woooo beautiful dolphins !" Boat getting swamped "They're so beautiful !" FRAN !! LOL 😂
Love you guys! Always look forward to your vids. You even show us that its not always perfect and you are 2 individuals who can get on each others nerves every now and then. I agree Fran that Jack was being "so dramatic" when he said you almost sunk the Dingo. Its the little things like that endear us to you. Real people in wonderful places. Cinematography is top notch and editing is really well done. Heres hoping you make lots of money and still do back to basics with a bit safer and more comfortable boat. Salty has served you well, but you deserve an upgrade!!
Sand will firm up when wet. Buckets of water poured around your wheels could help if you’re stuck in soft sand. 😉😊
Hey I recognise that decal on the Salty Dingo ... we've got the same on our yacht Nariki!!!
Great episode guys. Love that area ... hope to get there some day!
