Australian Wilderness Kayak Camping and Fishing Trip

[@samanthatheriot8879]

Omg I'm relaxed just watching this. I'm about to embark on my first solo kayak and overnight camp trip, this is so amazing !

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Ah perfect! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure you'll love the experience of it just being you and nature, it is something that is so hard explain. But be warned, it is very addictive!

[@DebOxy]

.... at least you caught one fish, maybe they (bass) were over fed on cicadas.. Love the Drone footage really adds to the awesomeness of the river, it is a special place. Was great to catch up for a quick chat on the water. We are heading back soon, can not stay away lol

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

There were a few around hey. Was super stoked to get the one. Maybe next time I'll do a bit better, who knows. Was nice to finally meet you and have a yarn on the water.

You gotta love spending time in the Aussie bush. Looks beautiful out there. Greetings from London 😎 -Andy

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

I can't get enough of it. Thanks for stopping by Andy!

[@BuddOutdoors]

That place looks amazing, absolutely stunning views

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

It sure is man, the place is mesmerising every time I go there.

[@olladypaddlin8891]

Loved the video and what a wonderful spot. I hope go there one day

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Thanks Barbara. Its a great spot and an easy paddle, you'll love it.

[@davidpicot5457]

Great footage. Thanks for sharing 👌

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

You're welcome, hope you enjoyed the vid.

[@AllThingsOutdoors]

Nice vid mate. Great to see another Aussie kayak camper. Haven't seen many on KZbin.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Thanks fella. There are a few of us around. Just don't get as much air time as Canadians and Americans. I actually sold my sit on top after this trip. Currently looking at a One Tree Canoe Sprite 11

[@AllThingsOutdoors]

I have gone to a canoe from a sit on top myself although I still use the sit on top for the skinny water trips.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Ah sweet. I still have access to another sit on top but wanted to do some longer trips and loved using my old canoe, so thought I'd go down that path. Looking forward to it.

[@WakuahOutdoors]

Epic drone shots mate!!!! Yep never call it too early, I always catch a fish on the "maybe one more flick" right after I've decided to give up. I'm heading there in a few weeks. This definitely psyched me up!!!

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Thanks mate! Yeah although I would have been fine with the stirring from Ryan and Oliver about not catching anything, I'm glad I was able to hahaha If you want, I'll shoot you some map screenshots of where some good spots are.

[@mokzilla9330]

Love Tallowa Dam, last time I was there just before Covid Lockdowns I paddled up to the Sunken Forest near Beehive Campsite, so beautiful! The Lyre birds were out in full force, a couple of fishers on peddle yak's but not much was biting apparently.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

I love it up that part of the lake too. Hopefully the restrictions will ease soon so I can get back on the water, hopefully for a good time getting the line wet again.

[@TravisDoesKayakFishing]

Very good video.🎣

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Thanks Travis, it was a great trip for sure!

[@my_time_outdoors]

Looked like a good time Shaun. Cheers from the frozen US.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

It sure was a good trip. Hope you're safe and warm Scott.

[@AmyOutdoors]

Been looking forward to this one! Good bye to the old steed.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

The old faithful has moved onto another life. Now I should really pull the trigger on the new float.

[@AmyOutdoors]

@@OutdoorsOvernight Canoe or kayak (sit in or sit on top)? So many choices! Looking forward to seeing more paddling content from Australia 😉

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Most likely a canoe. Wanting something much lighter than the 36kg beast in this vid.

[@gfrylives]

Nice trip. Did you go back up river or did you car shuttle. Thanks.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

It sure was :) 1 entry and exit point for this trip.

[@alieffofficial3915]

Good bro i like

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Glad you enjoyed the vid bud. It was a great adventure for sure!

[@TheAverageAdventurer]

Everything I have seen on tv says don’t mess with Australia, may just be an American thing lol. Excellent video.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Hahahaha Australia isn't that dangerous really. We do have a lot of species of snakes, but they'll move on if given the chance. Glad you enjoyed the vid mate. Thanks for stooping by.

[@australianpatriot]

says the country with grizzly bears

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

@australianpatriot yeah bears really would have me on edge lol

[@sprintershepherd4359]

hey mate nice video . i thought you were paddling the upper Nepean from around Penrith (very similar topography ) , but then read in the comments you were somewhere else down south . you should say or put in your descriptions where you're paddling . drop in and get out spots , it would be helpful to your fellow paddling enthusiasts . A bit of info about your location and rout would be great .unless you want to keep it a secret of course

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Hey mate, thanks for the comment. I'd like to explore the Upper Nepean one day. Some of the images and footage looks awesome. While I didn't mention this spot, it isn't a hidden secret. I've decided to limit the amount of location information off my videos as I've seen what can happen when it does. My "Chasing Hidden Waterfalls" is one example. Even though I found evidence of others when I did the hike, the property owner closed public access to it. Although any good paddling guide has all the info. The 3rd Edition of The Paddler's Guide to NSW has so many good paddles described, including this one. Thanks again for stopping by, I hope I've explained myself well enough to make sense and not rambled too much lol

[@sprintershepherd4359]

@@OutdoorsOvernight yeah all good . I saw your first video after this one explaining where you were paddling . I have no objection to keeping secret or places only known to locals off the internet . Ive lived guided and explored here in the blue mtns immensely . I knew of a lot of pristine pretty untouched unspoilt secluded spots . for camping swimming or just exploring .unfortunately people have put these places on social media and they are getting trampled and spoiled by people who dont seam to care about their impact . its such a shame those local secret places are all being exposed . sometimes itsd hard to find a secluded camp site or bush paradise anymore without bubblies coming along and spoiling the tranquillity or just evidence of them having been there with rubbish , environmental damage to plants and earth , rocks trees etc and sometimes even graffiti carved into rocks or trees . ffs who gives a shit if DH was there

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

@@sprintershepherd4359 100% agree with you mate. The last thing you want to see when heading out is evidence of others. Leaving rubbish in some pretty hard to reach places confuses me. If you've carted it that far full, it's only going to be lighter on the way back...

[@sprintershepherd4359]

@@OutdoorsOvernight yep exactly . even more harder to explain when its a car camping spot . We always make a point of leaving a place better than we found it , by cleaning it up or getting rid of some weeds or fire scars , out of respect for the natural earth we share this planet with . She can do with all the help she can get in this day and age

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Love your work mate. If only more people put the same effort in. But at the same time, we wouldn't have to if everyone knew and followed the leave no trace mantra.

[@jones9319]

what kayaks are your brother in law and nephew using here? It looks like nextgen 9's

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

I asked Ryan, but he said he has no idea what they are lol, as long as they float, hahaha

[@jones9319]

@@OutdoorsOvernight haha fair enough. thanks for checking up :)

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

No worries at all mate.

[@livin4adventure_aus584]

great video loved the opening shots shaun, i watched this when you uploaded but forgot to comment,. which drone are you using mate mavic pro? also no bass on surface??? heaps of cicadas around.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Ah glad you enjoyed it mate. Was a tricky one to put together as it was the first time recording with others. Im using the DJI Mavic Mini. Nice light litte drone. Not much surface action even with the amount of cicadas around. I eas using the cicada lure 90% of the time. Ryan and Oli had luck on the paddle down with spinners.

[@brendansmith8420]

What size kayak do you have mate?

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Hey brother, it was a 3.5m sit on top. I sold it after this trip and still haven't got myself anything to replace it. Was a good kayak, but very heavy at 36kg

[@asteroidersfunk]

Hi one question how did you get back to your cars ?

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

G'day mate. We paddled up to camp, then paddled back.

[@asteroidersfunk]

Ok thnx

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Not a problem at all. My very first video is from the same launch site (and gives the name) if you wanted to check it out.

[@Lopsid3d]

Yeah imagine if we were allowed to manage our land better by doing controlled burning.

[@OutdoorsOvernight]

Lots of reasons why it went the way it did unfortunately. But it is looking promising as it's slowly regenerating.
