[@richards6367]

Nikki has such a wonderful smile and attitude, a real gem.

[@BacktoBasics]

Well, she puts up with me! So must be a gem haha

[@markohart691]

Nikki is so so smart and beautiful and so are you AZ. Love your work.

[@glamdring0007]

Always good to see smiling Nikki on the boat...must have been a treat having her along after so many days solo 👍🤟

[@richardbell5792]

Gotta tell you mate, your vids have gone from good to great. This is the best B2B adventure yet. Pretty cool too after a few weeks solo for Nikki to drop in and share the adventure for a few days. Enjoy your time together!

[@danielpassingham6851]

An episode so true to what nature throws at you. Nicky is a credit to you and your team, she’s a stunner and her enthusiasm is amazing.

[@aprilwenceslao-mw7jq]

This is the kind of adventure that ive dreaming too😍 Nature😍 mother earth is so beautiful😍❤

[@IntuitiveIQ]

Glad you are having some good times with the wife, enjoy and stay safe! 🙏🏻

[@sweetdecision]

Hi Az! So glad Nikki could finally join you! Love your videos!

[@kamillioooo5906]

Nikki back on the boat brings such positive vibes. Definitely uplifting. A women enjoying life and sharing it with you and us. Just brings happiness to this video.

[@DougVarble]

Good to see Nikki on the channel, keep up the trip it’s great time🎉

[@alexandertelehin3425]

I am so happy to see Nikki back onboard, mmmm what an awesome woman of so many skills.

[@250sabre]

You’re first mate is a cutie ! Sorry you lost the speargun ! The worst was your grandads shotgun lost off the roof of the boat last year !! Great show , thanks !

[@spoon8142]

Sorry you lost your spear gun. Tragic because lost or broken equipment makes things more difficult, but you've already shown so much perseverance, so don't let it demoralize you. Where there's a will there's a way. Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one👍

[@zarzi60]

Oh so sweet

[@delunk5906]

Spoon = Nikki? Why aren’t you in the new episode?

[@spoon8142]

@@delunk5906 no, for some reason autocorrect changed your to I just before posted. Saw it after. Don't know how to correct or if it matters. But no, not Nikki

[@Alpha_fitz]

Make the most of it, Nicki & Az. What a dream.

[@BacktoBasics]

Cheers ! Will do our best 🙏

[@windycurrent]

Great video, first and foremost! I have been watching you for about a year now, and what an amazing place Australia is!!! What I really want you to know is how your filming and editing have gotten better and better. Thanks for taking us all along in the adventures!👍

[@BacktoBasics]

Thanks for watching Brad. Cheers mate. Like anything, the more you do it you aim to keep getting better at the craft. Still a long way to go!

[@richard_n]

So glad you had someone with you for the bad weather. Being solo in that can really suck.

[@edkleinstuber2119]

Great to see Nikki, and that she kept her hair short!!

[@AnimalYakTV]

Az, as always, excellent content. Love ya work. Awesome to see Nicki so comfortable in the water. I'm continuously inspired to do B2B adventures.

[@natandwazpacker6592]

Thanks Az Having withdrawals & hope to be out there soon too- in the meantime will keep watching and living vicariously * ❤️ from perthite*

[@scottcochrane638]

Brilliant

[@Castathon]

Mate you guys are onto something with that underwater hookup footage. Might come in handy for certain fishing vid comps being put on lately. Mind blowing video mate thank you.

[@natandwazpacker6592]

👍 underwater hookup footage was awesome hey

[@robroaring7175]

Another great one, mate. Sad to see the speargun go. But although you lost your gun, you gained Nikki for the week. Big win. Love your work, Az. Keep it up. Rob, TAS

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Hi Az. I am happy you have someone to now share your journey with. We have enjoyed your company each video. Stay safe.

[@paulpence8895]

Shout out to again Genesis Craft!!! Looks insane out there Az and Nikki!!!

[@ryanmcgrath339]

Thanks for the journey AZ and for the introduction to ya misses. Absolutely brilliant what your doing keep safe BRO

[@colleenbalch328]

[@BacktoBasics]

[@intelprointelpro4452]

Damned, je rêve de faire cela 👍. Bravo profitez bien de vos aventures et restez prudents. 🇫🇷🇦🇺

[@charlesward8196]

“ Morale has taken a bit of a hit.” Just another crappy day in Paradise. Well, a little bit of rain and wind makes us appreciate the flat calm sunny weather all the more!

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

It's fascinating

[@jamesblake7338]

Stay positive mate better times coming! Sorry about your gun, real bummer! 👋 Nikki!

[@BacktoBasics]

Thanks mate, all apart of the journey!

[@johncoffey8645]

At least you had some company for the storms😁 Be safe 🤙

[@jefflaliberte4587]

Awesome video despite the weather....as always. Enjoy your videos !

[@UberGeek]

Finally, Mate! A gorgeous babe with an awesome smile! Well done!

[@driftless1870]

Glad to see you are in good company!

[@clifbradley]

Fish and rice? What a combo. Never seen it on here before. Lol. Your girl is a straight on trooper. Enduring all that with you. Glad she was able to come out there. Too much isolation brings on depression real easy. That combined with the the austere living conditions must have been hard going. I'm sure the boat was rocking the first night and not just from the waves. Good on ya.

[@BacktoBasics]

Haha you're dead right on all accounts and observations there Clif, cheers mate!

[@auslifeandy]

This is the sort of adventure why most people get on KZbin ! Quality content mate as always. Wish I could get some epic adventures sorted like this one! Keep living the dream and getting this epic content out

[@BacktoBasics]

Thanks Andy, cheers mate! Hope to see ya out here

[@truenaturestormers2525]

We love ya and the new mate is a doll, cheers mate.

[@y0z3nFr0g3rt]

Wrapping my lips around a big juicy coconut 😂😂😂 sounds like he was trying to make a joke but he didn’t even laugh lol

[@thomasprince4992]

love it when you have company

[@gazucco]

👏👏👏👏🥂😘 Great job Az finally not alone 😘

[@BacktoBasics]

Love you mate

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Nice vacay for Nikki! Fish and rice, rice and fish, it's good either way! Sorry about the spear gun, Az.

[@danbasham9207]

Thanks!

[@fearlessfisher]

Great episode and sorry to hear that you lost your gun, as you said hope someone finds it washed off at the beach and uses it instead of wasted in water. Cheers

[@BacktoBasics]

Here's hoping mate! Hurt to lose. Cheers for watching

[@jeaniewatkins9218]

Great program! Don’t know if I could eat that much fish, but you make it interesting! New speargun in your future! Blessings

[@BacktoBasics]

Thanks so much Jeanie!

[@truenaturestormers2525]

Sorry about the gun, good and bad, no worries, we love ya and happy you are in good health and spirts are a bit low but all is good.

[@rogerdat7807]

Spotted blue travelly is called Omilu (Oh-me-lou) in Hawaiian. Great fighters, beautiful and very tasty!

[@lea-annemoss8327]

Wow amazing 💯

[@bunyipdan]

FYI The fish carcas @10:37 is a member of the boxfish/cowfish family - Tetrosomus sp. .... looks like a Camel cowfish (Tetrosomus gibbosus) but not sure if it's found where you are, so could also be a Triangular boxfish, (Tetrosomus concatenatus). Keep having fun on this great adventure

[@iridefast1]

His name is Cheese.

[@grantharmon7415]

Love it Az! Awesome!!!

[@BacktoBasics]

Cheers mate!

[@shanekay8278]

Nikki is a legend, spearing away in horrid weather with no Fs given. need to clone that young lady.

[@Spielmanjon]

WHOOO HOOO what is this.. I thought oh poor Nikki, probably her last day on the boat if you hooked her! LOL Great video!

[@rahnlawson9463]

Another day in paradise 😍😍

[@michaelazzopardi2408]

I’m loving your work friend

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

[@PaintedTurtle001]

[@badlydrawnslide2109]

[@EFTProf]

"Get out here your self", sez you! I live in Cambridge, England, so STOP TEASING ME!!! 🤓🎣🐟

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- 10:48 I think that is a box fish. 📦 🐟 I forget the actual name of it.

[@07headshot]

Great video mate!!!!! Looks like Prof Peter Ridd was 100% correct, the reef looks amazing. JCU what a fraud.

[@darrelcoleman961]

Fish claimed the spear gun and mounted it on town hall entrance as a victory statement

[@Exploring_Gia]

I would love to get there and do just that ❤ looks like my kinda living 🤩

[@alisonphilp7497]

[@claudiodippolito5686]

Love your KZbin channel Outstanding

[@BacktoBasics]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching

[@BorneoSpears]

Perfect time to go fishing. No waves at all

[@mauzim]

Nice trip!

[@billyd7806]

Stay safe. 👍🙏🇺🇸

[@mrkanangra]

at 8:00 you walking the beach and seeing all the plastic and rubbish is REALLY disheartening. ( what island/beach area is that near?) . Love your video's mate. Can't wait to emulate. Wife and I are selling our house in Sydney and moving to Daintree, Cow Bay, Wonga area.....early retirement.

[@BacktoBasics]

Excited for you, all those areas are world class spots to call home. The further north you go, the worse the rubbish will be unfortunately . Great for beach combing, not for the environment though! Might run into you. A

[@janet33465]

Just found your channel and subscribed… really enjoying but seriously how do you go in the water where there’s sharks 🦈😱 too scary for me. Loving the videos though 😊

[@solangedacosta3771]

Eu amo os seus vides❤❤❤❤

[@crikeymacca]

Love ya work. You remind me of me and my mrs 20 years ago except you’re a good looking rooster and ya mrs is gorgeous. Similar adventure rating though. Especially now our ferrets are out of our hair.

[@notyouravaragesavage1776]

Rice can get old fast but for some reason coconut rice never gets old and i could eat it every day with no complaints.

[@maybee...]

Keep an eye on the shoreline for your speargun. It may drift in.

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Awesome video

[@billjones261]

Looks like fun guys but I wonder why you don't wear those slip on rubber booties while your walking on land, doing so might keep your feet from getting cut up. Happy and safe travels 😊

[@tylarsimpson3425]

What's blurred out in the bottom corner at 11:20? Looks like a few fish or frames

[@alekmark]

Another great video! How do you workout when you are on a long mission like this?

[@davidhakes3884]

AZ, I thought you were reeeling Nikki in, lol, by the way it seems Jack can Not sharpen the knives he uses and I see you do a quick job using the oval diamond steel, Hehe, Show Jack how to sharpen. I sharpen straight razors so a dull tool is worthless. Best Regards to you and Nikki.

[@paulaka7]

Ive been waiting all day for this, I was worried it wasn't coming, ??? so now I'm happy. thankyou, lol

[@BacktoBasics]

I wouldnt leave you hanging like that mate! Thanks for watching

[@Aykosss]

Hey mate this vid is not showing on my subscription feed. Just thought I’d let you know

[@TheDeadwoods-pl3yo]

Woo hoo!

[@jurassicsushi]

Loving the channel, Glad to see you have some company to offset the loneliness. Question for you. What are the regulations for harvesting the "Giant clams" i know in some parts of the world its allowed and some it isn't. I do know that the meat that comes out of those clams is Amazing to eat. If you could give some info on that would be greatly appreciated. Stay safe out there my friend and God Bless.

[@BacktoBasics]

Meat in the Giant clams are amazing, but for non- indigenous Australians, they are a no take species. Which is great, as there are a lot of them to see underwater! Cheers for watching mate

[@jurassicsushi]

@@BacktoBasics Thanks for the info.I had to look up "Who is considered an indigenous Australian?" & you learn something new every day. The Australian Government defines Indigenous Australians as people who: are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent; identify as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin; and are accepted as such in the communities in which they live or have lived.

[@AndyPriceVideos]

Dam it, just missed first to comment, great vid Az😊

[@AncientMysteriesAndInnovations]

Didn’t the old shotgun get lost also

[@martinbell2899]

Now I know the separation from u and the other channel I will say I'm shocked but all makes sense now maybe I might be ok with it might take some time but if your happy go for it

[@lukephillips1188]

What sunglasses do u wear?? 😎😎😎

[@lukephillips1188]

I wear Oakley Oil Rig sunnies, but I’d love to get the full side coverage that u wear

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- How did you meet up wit Nikki !? Is there cell service 🤔!? 📱 📲

[@doctoredic]

You wont get a better quality t shirt anywhere . Thanks As.

[@aeb804]

Not being rude or anything but did your Mrs used to be a bloke? Having a debate with a mate and we can't work it out. Honest answer would be appreciated

[@danarioso9263]

Heaven on EARTH but I hate to see the beach with so much trash. If I were closer it would be my mission to turn it into treasure and repurpose what I could.

[@cr0cket01]

bet you wish you had mixed wild rice.....and put speargun away correctly

[@A.R.C.77]
