1300km In A Micro Boat - The Short Film

[@antnewbon2673]

Chap wtf its your channel wtf.

[@LowTide941]

This was a movie he made for a competition film festival last year. Calm down

[@rokkitkit]

Yep i just eneded up leaving the logos and warnings on that they had in the Film Festival, so poeole know this is not a reguler upload. Just pretend they are not there. Im not selling out just yet😅

[@JamesScott-kg7rk]

@@rokkitkit You make good content. You have every right to sell out.

[@JonathanMark-sf5tm]

Your films are some of the best in the world rod!! This one aspeshaly mate you had my vote🤙

[@Rook986]

​@@rokkitkit I'd trust you to only sell out to good companies with quality products mate lol

[@I_Santos_]

This. Is. Adventure. The surprise challenges, the way you persevere. But you don’t just push through with a negative attitude, you have a palpable desire to explore and a thirst for what comes next. You’re the kind of guy anyone would be lucky to accompany into the unknown and here you’ve taken us all with you. What a privilege. Seriously, mate, there are a ton of good channels out there doin stuff like this, but you definitely stand out. 🤙

[@nickschroeder1944]

I rarely write comments for videos but compelled to do so for this one. Beautifully produced and edited!! What a treasure of a video - thank you for sharing this with us.

[@SD-ft6gs]

I voted for yours last year and I was sad you lost to the louder more traditional entries.Yours was the most interesting and captivating, with the most heart. I really love the story arc and how well you included us in your adventure. The other entries were well made sport tv style projects but they definitely were not in the same cinematic universe.

[@MrHilltop77]

Blue collar YT fishing at its finest! Hats off to Rod, what a Gentleman Of the sea!🏴‍☠️🎣👊🙏

[@craigbrown1249]

I was so hoping you'd win the comp. I loved the vid back then, it was cool to see a genuine trip with all the trials and tribulations that come with it and see you still enjoy it.

[@Udiuds]

Thanks Rod. I‘ve been watching your channel for many years. This is your best film yet. !)I like the way you have improved a bit on the look and the styl.

[@SILSKY]

Regardless of the troubles and lack of decent fish this video is fantastic! Such beautiful footage and skilled editing. The story of adventure here is gold!

[@mt4592]

Saw you reply to comment about "Not selling out". Mate, you have everyright to get paid for these awesome videos. Dont you ever be ashamed of making sure you keep your family fed and happy:) You give so much of your time to these videos, its more than okay to get something back. Greetings from finland where everything is fucking frozen now, including the fishes.

[@BRETTYZCAR]

That tent was like a screen door on a submarine. Fantastic production as always mate.

[@0726cobrasrule]

I honestly think this is one of the best videos on your channel, bro. I can't imagine how you think this is a bad video and will have better content than this?!? this is some real shit, not saying I'm going to camp on a island overnight and other youtubers say wow guys we had to go back to the boat. nah, this is quality dude. seriously i loved this man. the slow introes in every seen, allowing us to feel the vibe for a minute. and get immersed in your reality. this is good content. please dude listen

[@jeffbaade8480]

I just want to say from a 65 year old man with fishing still running through my veins that was an amazing piece of footage rod you are a incredible person thanks so much for bringing it to my screen Cheers jeff

[@BurrupAndAway]

Jeez mate, what a wild adventure this one was! Nothing more testing than keeping your spirits high whilst camped under a tiny tent in heavy rain and thunder! Loved all of it 👏🏼

[@willwyatt9801]

Always love it when a new rokkit vid comes out.

[@DaviesDiaries]

Cinematic AF! Loved this one, keep up the great content!

[@stephenschwalger6509]

Now that was a real fishing trip. Real fishing isn't about the catching its about the journey & the experience. That was epic. thanks

[@caseynoveske3786]

adventure only happens when risk is involved! That was amazing! I have had some days in tents that compare to that! It brings back some memories.

[@arthudson81]

Wow what an incredible movie! Was mesmerized watching this. Even with all the crazy weather you have a way of capturing the serenity and calm that the sea can provide. Truly one of your finest works yet. Thank you!

[@peters8583]

Oh my gosh 😊I just loved it. First Rod I wish you and your family only the best for the new year to come. Thanks my friend 😃🖐

[@doraexplora9046]

What a fantastic production Rod! I could definitely watch another one of those again. Great background music BTW.

[@rajivsiram5902]

Bro. By far, the best video i have seen on youtube. Watching from the South Island in New Zealand and a fisherman myself. This video is a true inspiration man. Im sure the founder of true kit would love this. Planning to buy one for my family's 1st boat.

[@gretchenjasmer3609]

At first, I was very confused! Until I read where this was a short film made for a film festival! Very NICE!! I enjoy your normal videos more, but this was still very good.❤

[@windowshots]

Nothing like a good struggle. These are the moments in life we never forget. Great film. Thank you.

[@OldManCad]

This is one of the best pieces of content from you. Absolutely amazing bro.

[@smokeybarr]

Brilliant. So glad they let you release this 👍

[@jeanettecarter7248]

Amazing production Rod! ❤wished you would’ve won this is so raw and beautiful the way you persevered and enjoyed the beauty of the trip!

[@Maxrebow]

Thanks again for reminding me just how good life can be. Even when things don't go the way we plan. You all ways seem to find a way to do the best you can and for me that's worth watching and listening. You truly inspire me. Thanks your one of the best.

[@tylerm8629]

Loved that you gave a little background on how you were inspired. You inspired me years ago to take semi-regular trips to the Florida Keys to remote island camp. (I live in Orlando) so it was really a "full circle" moment to see you doing the same in your last uploads 😊

[@jackgalloway8314]

Can't believe your tent. Recently went camping and it rained heavily but I remained dry as a bone in my Wechsel V1, buddy boy. You needed a better one, truly. Love the channel.❤

[@adambowditch6134]

Dude love this new format. The footage, the story telling, the music. Love it

[@aranha9365]

What a editing! You absolutely nailed with the sound tracks, very nice mic on your voice too! Classic fishing trip! That film is really good mate!

[@thegreatnorthwet5864]

I hope you enter again this year Rod. Your videos seem more earnest and organic than so many others. It's relatable art. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@user-rg2kk7fv4m]

Awww…we loved it Mate! We finally got to see it! Happy New Year Rod to you and your family. Thanks for another top year….👍🇦🇺🇳🇿 On the GC.

[@speedracer3967]

Brilliant film! I hope you know Rod how lucky, and blessed by God you are to live the life you live! Millions of us live vicariously through you and your videos! I would gladly donate a kidney to go on one fishing trip with you!

[@thelazyoverlander]

20:18 of pure perfection. As I have stated before.... not into fishing, not into boats, but OMG, Rod makes it so entertaining.

[@coptotermes]

Beautifully filmed mate. Love the story, love the sound (wear headphones). Loved the soundtrack! Just very nicely done.

[@dane1293]

I voted for you! Yours was definitely the most enthralling entry

[@Kiomanche]

What an epic trip! Scary but what an adventure!! Those waves that little boat handled was incredible! Great short film with amazing footage!

[@campbellanderson2100]

Nice to see you are moving into the big time now with all the professional changes. Onwards and upwards.

[@marks7120]

What a great look back on the trip. Thanks for giving us the non KZbin all is wonderful perspective. What an amazing adventure. I love your glass half full attitude. I think most people would have given up at some point, but not you.

[@kcidsirhc1169]

So under rated. Its even better watching it now.😘

[@Kevin_Ridenour]

I’m glad I finally got to see this. The poor little red boat took a beating. So did Rod.

[@mahoykabusk]

Your content deserves more attention. I subscribed recently and thought you would have millions of views and subscribers. It's good quality stuff and very immersive. I wish you safe travels and good luck. Happy New Years!

[@afiqhadriamil8289]

combine adventure , nature and some sort of art editing..nice footage

[@MrHilltop77]

We love Rod, we love his videos, we love fishing!🏴‍☠️👊🙏🎣

[@adamriordan1051]

Awesome, thank for putting this up. I was hoping to get to watch the films on a tv. You did a really great job and your film was definitely one of the best if not the #one. Cheers mate, keep at it.

[@aussiegamedad7524]

Not every trip is a winner but every one of your videos is!

[@FrankLadd]

Wow! Some of your best work ever!

[@simawds72]

The rainy tent scene is great, its at these times we start questioning ourselves. All the fish caught looked decent, what a trip!

[@ApisVenandi]

Back in the day when I was younger I was doing the same, love your channel, it brings back good memories. Thank you.

[@johnsykes706]

This is a wonderful film. Thankyou.

[@bikepacker9850]

Rokkit...u r a national treasure.

[@optic_betes2281]

Sick video man, the editing took awhile I’m sure, but the final product was awesome. It’s always the little touches that do a lot in videos. You nailed it brother 👍🏼

[@tomwilliams452]

Your underwater shots are pretty amazing, this is a great vid.

[@jarod2321]

Wow, you got permission to show this? Enjoyed this just over a year ago. Hopefully gets to 1 million!

[@rokkitkit]

Yea they let us release them👌

[@rastusbojangles]

Great production. Always have loved your videos. Surprised this hasnt popped up in my feed until now.

[@debramage739]

Nice work Rod, loved the tunes , especially the birds. Nice memories

[@ravh6011]

I feel so relaxed watching this video. Its like i was there with you in nature. So peaceful. Keep it up mate!

[@colinwhiting5410]

More than a hell of a trip nature can throw us many curve balls but what an adventure and learning curve for future fishing trips is priceless the scenery was magic only from our great land down under 👍 Cheers Wombat 🐾🤗🍻🎣

[@bevowhite2786]

So happy you posted this video.

[@NicoNico-te2tk]

I love the true kit episodes.

[@DrinkableJ0sh]

Ripper video mate, loved the voice-over and story telling side of it.

[@Here4ucantbe]

I was so excited when you hooked that fish and then, you let it go. I wanted to cry!! lol I LOVE your videos!!! XOXOX

[@thegemhiveantiquejewellery796]

Warms the cockles of my heart here in sunny England. Keep pushing man keeeeep pushing!

[@nikolakarabasil]

Great video! Good to see that green lure on the big reef. 😊

[@stucook8622]

Great video! Thank you! The opening music was awesome, added them to my playlist.

[@spaceguma]

Amazing! Things that make you feel alive, thanks for sharing!

[@gerrymoijn]

Damn the quality of those Videos getting crazy. Good Job, always enjoy them! 😍

[@El-tn7zz]

Absolutely beautiful story! I'm on the same journey starting my guide service, teaching one, the beauty of fishing in our world ❤

[@DHL16061]

Great job! Crazy adventure!

[@btplumber]

Always great content. Thanks for sharing

[@thebestrc]

Amazing video. Well produced & edited too.

[@Mckee11]

Rod you have out done yourself. Take a bow that was extravagant. 😮 Yes you didn't catch much wish a lot more went your way. But man that film making is on point 🎉🎉🎉

[@timgofa8822]

Great job Rod, The truth about our beautiful North Coast.

[@Noxheart]

What an amazing piece of art

[@honeheke1128]

Wow, another wild vlog, appreciate your skills and content

[@michaelhall5429]

You might not always have the best fish but you always have the best stories and style. As a yak fisherman in exmouth its been incredibly informative following your channel. Im always a bit nervous about heading far out and chasing bigger fish but youve shown me whats possible if you apply a bit of bravery to a situation. Thanks also for uploading this vid. Didnt get a chance to watch the actual competition so its been great seeing them uploaded later on. If youre ever in exmouth and want some shit advice let me know.

[@lucasliving276]

Incredible video man, love your style and editing. I know it’s a lot of time and effort to film, fish, and edit. Keep it up!

[@TheHopefulAngler]

Absolutely fantastic Rod I loved every minute, tight lines mate 🎣

[@FrankBobongie]

Rod your production has escalated. Nice ❤😂

[@Ganjaz]

what an awesome video, crazy storm!

[@jeffrogonzalo5067]

Unreal film rod be great to see a film like this once a year is really good.

[@rex_havoc2966]

Awesome short RoKKiT!

[@Max46423]

Mate what an epic video You are an inspiration to all who follow you If only tents didn’t leak 2024 will be your best ever my friend 😊

[@themusclebus]

I've been looking forward to this! You had mentioned it in your videos, and I never saw it! Cheers.

[@so.callife]

Respects!was on the fence about getting one these inflatables for ocean fishing in Southern cal but was worried about how it would handle bad weather but after watching you put it through the conditions im sold.again hats off to you,your an animal.🤙

[@ninotufegdzic9175]

best one so far..

[@ColoredinLight]

Super impressive Rod. Well done, would love to see more videos like this even if it meant waiting between uploads.

[@karterjohnson6398]

10/10 Rob, loved it

[@solaceinshelling6552]

For me, it's the storytelling that makes your content exceptional! 💙

[@jerrydelyea5820]

All the best to you and yours in the new year man. Very nice film , next level!! Cheers from the Rocky Mountains in Canada ✌️🇨🇦

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Beautiful stuff rod.... Yeah I could see that was before your haircut 😂😂

[@seancoffey6982]

Amazing trip you had there!

[@sentinel4608]

omg. Im only 10 minutes in but i love the new format already.... get an artist to do some drawings like cartoon drawings in comic book format ( use the outtakes as cut scenes :ie the flat battery ) to use as a transition's between scenes. Or just major scenes. that would suit this format perfectly. great Job man!!!

[@charltonaveryclipz7528]

Class as always rokkit, hopefully see some more content soon 👏🏽

[@juancoetzee4181]

Truly well done !

[@IronmanV5]

Very well shot snd edited. Happy New Year

[@jordanperks1991]

This was brilliantly done ! Loved the cinematic feel you achieved , what a killer video man. Great stuff i can only imagine what film would have won if this wasn't the winner ! Loved this

[@michaelhall5429]

The winner was pelagic pursuit i think. His video is up on his channel. Chasing gts on paddle boards. Not as cinematic but very exciting to watch.

[@theinvasivespecies1119]

Really liked this style vid!!

[@queenslandcamper4660]

Wild ride but very cool footage ! bet you'll never forget the lessons learned

[@popsfishing]

Another great adventure! Take care!😎👍
