  • For water, we carried 25 litres each in the back hatch of our kayaks, which had to be carefully rationed as we were uncertain where the next water source was coming from. Coconuts proved a good replacement and we drank as many as we could, when we could. I normally drink quite a lot at home so it didn't effect my stomach too much, but apparently it can cause the guts to feel "funny".
    We would even cook rice with the coconut water mixed with some ocean water. Which worked really well.
    We set out with Strick, Fran and Gunzy on the Salty dingo to catch a feed of fish, the crew catch some seafood off the beach in front of the campsite and we beach-comb for coconuts, firewood and rubbish. Thanks for the support, we hope to see you out here! Az

    I relies this series is past content, but I hope drinking all that coconut juice didn't cause any problems ,as it is a diuretic and will cause dehydration when used to excess.
    anyway please consider using a cheap kettle on the coals full of salt water with a conical bung in spout with copper or heat rated, food grade plastic pipe leading to a bucket of cold sea water, than to your fresh water can.
    as long as you change last little bit of salt water from kettle and refill, it will make large amounts of fresh distilled water you just have to add a tiny bit of salt water to your now distilled water as pure distilled water is bad for you long term.
    I use a stainless kettle I got from rtm on special and it all fits in side a 10 liter white plastic bucket..... hose bung and kettle, I put bags of rice inside of kettle so as not to waste space and packs of spaghetti around kettle in bucket to use that space .
    this also stops use of fuel,... looking for water and coconuts as water can be made after any meal when only coals are left.
    as my boat is only 4 meters ...saving fuel is most important ,as I can only carry 80 liters and have a 50 hp engine.
    using the largest diameter pipe that will fit in bung, makes water maker much faster as does keeping cold water bucket .... the 10 liter white bucket cool by changing its salt water as it gets hotter from the steam passing thru it.
    any way, if you have space for a 10 liter bucket you have a water maker.
    thanks so much for this series ,as I find it sooooo good.... and I will be doing the same trip more or less .
    cleaning and burning the plastic as I go. will be using a large rocket stove to get maximum temp as to minimize pollution. as rocket stoves burn clean, with no smoke.
    I am sadden by lack of place names in your series but it seems common practice nowadays, ....really the chance of people going to these places is very small. I will be fishing and perhaps spearing I don't think I am fit enough at 60 to spear Anymore .
    I will be starting from cook town, as the beach just south of cape flattery is famous for its ability to collet rubbish from all over Asia especially the complete sheets the thongs are stamped from,... let alone the thongs I have been on this beach many times and you could build many house roofs from all the thongs.
    as far as I can Rember the beach is called 17 mile beach. thanks for the prodding to get out and do something in the wild...... as I live on a ten meter vessel I feel this is something I can do.
    only in the morning when it is cool but, at my age, that beach should take all year to clear, ha ha .
    sorry for the length of this comment .

    Hey! I'm American and understand what flip-flops and thongs are... and I'm a country in-lander too. Not too many uses for flip-flops and thongs here right now... high today will be lucky to hit 50°F... or 10°C for you Aussies... That beach looks incredible though... trash and all...

    Guys make your own desalination water , get a large stainless steel pot with the lid turn it up side down drill a hole in the top , then put another steel pot small below the hole, fill the larger pot with salt water below the smaller pot , put it on the fire and the steam will run down the lid into the small pot and give you fresh drinking water

      very prolific, having spent a fair bit of time up that way they are everywhere. Even out on the islands amongst the reef, you always have to be incredibly diligent. as long as your careful and don't do anything stupid its not much of a problem though.
