5 day Solo Camp Remote Barrier Reef Island

Almost skipped this video glad i clicked on it!

[@LatinoTropico]

In this housing crisis, your videos are inspirational and a very good survival guide. Thanks Mike. Please keep exploring our beautiful world

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks. Yeah it really is a housing crisis. There’s an increasing amount of people living in tents or in their cars, even in our major cities. The divide between rich and poor continues to grow.

Your content is amazing! KZbin may start off a bit rough and slow but the moment you hit 1000, that number will go up way faster. Don't give up on your dream!

3:15 Great content. Very much looking foward to your reef trip feature film when it comes out.

Thanks Tau!

[@YouRock-WeDrone]

Your drone shots are just absurdly stunning!! Nice work!

[@OutbackMike]

You Rock • We Drone Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say.🙂

[@kevinmichaelcallihansr5053]

Superb, especially for someone cooped up 15 months inside an apartment, so thank you Mike.

[@OutbackMike]

Your welcome Kevin🙂

[@TropicalZooms]

Watched again Mike. That’s a big trip for a small boat. Loved the small island stop over and those drone shots are fantastic to watch. Appreciate the effort you’ve gone to making this vid. 😃👍

[@OutbackMike]

Thank you. Much appreciated!

What a cool adventure! Subscribed!

[@teeanahera8949]

What a beautiful little island. A mate and I camped on Rabbit Is north of Mackay and during the early evening had lots of wines while we worked on the maths of how far out to moor the boat, the tidal range was 7m. Not a shallow beach like in this vid. The next morning we were happily surprised to find we only had to drag the boat a few metres to the water. So I get your dilemma. I always tie a boat to the shore somehow rather than rely on anchors alone. On that Back to Basics KZbin channel the dude let the boat drift a couple of km off shore and then swam after it as they had no epirb, no water, no shelter and no back up plan. Luckily he made it eventually to the boat after the anchor dragged on a shallow bit.

[@OutbackMike]

Yeah it’s certainly hard work beach anchoring in exposed places.

[@david667766]

You are living the dream mate, subscribed that is astounding

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks David!

Epic tips mate and awesome trip cheers

Brilliant stuff outback thanks for the amazing content

[@selitoskuldakis2209]

Dewd, I just found this channel, its awesome. Thanks for all the little tips and info, its great

[@kghunter297]

Mate, I am amazed you have not got more subs. Your clips are great and you are great! Keep em coming.

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks. Will do.

[@jr-ep8ol]

Pan sized tuna goes a long way!!

[@TruettD]

You should have way more than 740 subs you make insanely high quality contend and I hope to see more like this in the future! Subbed!

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks for the comment and adding one more sub to the list.🙂

[@domanater480]

Mate that would be an awesome trip. Where did you leave from? Cairns ?

[@glenwilkie1331]

How was there a trailer on the barge am wondering?

[@chrisczech88]

Love the boat i I have one

[@donpardo1]

Stumbled across your channel, Epirb and all that. You obviously have a lot of survival training and skills. Solo trips can land you up shit creek without a paddle whiteout warning. How do you deal with the threat of irunkandji jelly fish et al? Enjoy your little tips and advice! Keep on going. I subscribed!

[@OutbackMike]

Yes you’re right. Solo trips are more dangerous. The risk of irukandji isn’t that high but I have vinegar ready to go and a satellite messenger I can call for help with if I start getting severe symptoms.

[@stanleyjaxen9487]

wow what was that ferry? they take boat trailers?

[@danmulholland9456]

Looks like Masthead island ?

[@rippedkangerooarmwrestling9971]

[@robgorman8961]

How did the barge have your boat trailer ?

[@OutbackMike]

They had a spare which was lucky.

[@WayneWright828]

they had a spare trailer on the barge?

[@chats5957]

No, it was his trailer. You put your boat and trailer on the barge in Gladstone and they drop you off at any island in the bunker group, then they store your trailer back at their compound and bring it back to the island for your pickup.

[@adamchandler9047]

Hey mate, great stuff. Where about is this?

[@OutbackMike]

Southern Barrier Reef. I prefer not to name the islands to keep them less visited.

[@kevinhermi9861]

My partner has the same cutting board but won't let me fillet fish on it lol

[@unclefuzzy2485]

What camera do u use for catching these stars? I am about to start a channel and want to be able to capture stars. New sub thanks from Georgia USA

[@OutbackMike]

This was a Sony A7sii. There’s a newer version out now, the A7siii which is heaps better but for shooting stars there’s not much difference.

[@WogChilli]

How much fuel did you bring, how much did you use?

[@OutbackMike]

I plan on using 1.5L per nautical mile. I took 6 x 20l jetties plus my 24L fuel tank. I came back with about 40L spare.

[@WogChilli]

Good choice on taking more than you used. Running out that far would have been aweful. I would take EPIRB and VHF myself. Good video mate I enjoyed watching.

[@chats5957]

​@@WogChilliif he went out with 140l and only had 40l when getting picked up, that's nowhere near enough for the return trip. Luckily he caught the barge back, and even luckier that they had his boat trailer on it already. Even luckier that the barge was returning from the outer islands (other empty trailers), so would have been at sea for 12+ hours and they had the foresight to find his car and detach the trailer and load it into the barge before the school group offered to allow him on their chartered barge.

[@callumscott2430]

Hey buddy which islands were these' awesome content by the way!!!

[@OutbackMike]

Callum Scott I prefer not to mention names to help keep them more remote but they’re basically the southern Islands on the GBR chain.

[@aussiestrong7853]

Hi mate awesome video Can I get there in my 4.2 renegade with 50hp on a good day How far was it from the mainland I would love to take the missus there camping Cmon mate give me a clue 😀

[@rm4347]

@@aussiestrong7853 pretty sure it’s the bunker group, be very careful in a small tinnie. I have a 6.2 meter and have been caught out there and it’s very scary, it gets rough real rough. High above you and a high below you 10 knots and around a meter swell and all’s good

[@chats5957]

​@@aussiestrong7853​did you watch the end of the video? His trailer was already on the Curtis ferries barge that was picking him up. He went out to mast head island on the barge with another group then drove the tinny back 6 miles to get the shot with the island in the background. Don't believe everything you see on KZbin. Taking a 4.2m dory out there is stupidity, no matter how good the forecast looks.

Mate can you please respond as I know everyone wants to know - please tell us your location(s) - or at least the near area...... Love your channel!

[@OutbackMike]

Sorry. I prefer not to name them . It helps to keep them remote and beautiful.

[@plainsailor4987]

@@OutbackMike if school groups are there it's not remote. That's probably one of the most visited island in the bunker group, north west

[@michaelmcglashan6117]

Mutton bird burrows probably

Yeah, I think it was crabs in hindsight.
