  • Heading out into the ocean to camp solo on a new uninhabited mini island can be a gamble and it doesn't always go to plan... but sometimes you get lucky and score an amazing island like this... Catch and cooks and sunsets don't come much better😅🤙

Lesson learned and I hope to be back at it later this week.

    You know of course when you handle fish it messes up the slimy coating that protects them from illness and disease. They may not survive after being handled. I use to sell fish so I know a few things about their health. I heard the same thing from a marine biologist. Just saying....

    I'm a hammock guy, but I like these tent, super functional. One thing I've learnt in a Dave Canterbury's book, was the four W's for help you to select the best place to set up your base camp.
    Wind ( how sheltered the place is)
    Wood ( fire wood availability)
    Widow Makers ( watch for any tree or branch that can potentially fall on your head)
    Water ( water availability for washing/drinking/cooking)
    This is so simple but very effective.
    Such a beautiful cammo pattern has that Cod, wonderful!

    Try using the nightlapse feature of the GoPros to capture the stars at night and how they move! It's pretty easy to set-up. However, you do need to plug the camera to a powerbank so it lasts the whole night. But the shots will be epic, especially cause there's no light pollution around your islands.
