Thanx Terry - great guide

[@glendree1]

I want to send you guys a huge warm thank you from wintery Finland for this unique and beautiful series of videos sailing in the Kimberley & pristine NW Australia. I've never been to Australia but i have been in awe of how natural and unspoilt your beautiful country is. You guys have such a natural ability for storytelling and teaching and i have had two wonderful days traveling and learning alongside you. The abundance of fish and clear safe drinking water from streams seems like a different planet compared to the Baltic sea. I really enjoyed your sense of humour and the respect you have shown to your environment. Many of us in Europe think Australia is full of crocs, snakes and poisonous spiders etc, but you have the old knowledge how to appreciate and avoid these risks while been fascinated by them at the same time. Lastly , thank you for a vivid tours of the rock paintings and most of all for just being yourselves on camera, this is my all time favourite find on you tube. I hope you guys get the fair wind and health to keep travelling and continue as ambassadors for an amazing Australia.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you Gavin, we are both moved by your kind words. It is a beautiful place and our enjoyment is doubled by sharing it. We have many miles of wilderness to cover so we hope you will continue to join us in the new year and perhaps share this channel with others that, like you, enjoy a simple natural adventure. Welcome aboard Gavin.

[@trumpetmano]

The Australian Tourism Bureau should be paying you folks for showing the rest of the world how truly awesome your country is.

[@iainflintoff9647]

true story. great videos...

[@bigredlancer]

Your videos are just what this armchair traveler loves... Thank you for sharing...

[@ianh7133]

That was fantastic with all the information provided on the wildlife species, local fauna, and history of the indigenous people, peppered with your natural charisma and mutual respect each other and the environment. Wonderful thank you. I’m now eager to watch more of your adventures.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you Ian, that's just the response that makes us feel like our efforts are well worth while. We hope you enjoy every video.

[@richardgreen9325]

love the shadows of the boat on the rock wall rock art on the move

[@chrispunshon2370]

Oh thank you , I, and I'm sure everyone else enjoyed both you, and what you've shared on your channel, many thanks. And very professional too.

[@awbskymac8149]

you 2 guys are a credit to australia with your interesting intelligent beautiful photography. and great sailing advice in this amazing part of australia thank you so much

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for such kind words. We love our country and are proud to show it to others. Hope you continue to join us and thanks again.

[@zerofox7347]

Couldn't agree more!

[@joec9016]

I appreciate the opportunity to travel along with you. I'm forced to be largely idle here awaiting a cardiac procedure in a few weeks and your travel log helps to pass the time and escape. It's great to see folks like you tuned to a different life channel. Happy trails.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Glad we can help in some small measure Joe.

[@Wolf-xi4if]

I have been following your channel for a while. I decided to go back o the start and watch it all. WA is amazing and the Kimberley area is unreal. I think I could spend a few years exploring that area. Ao amazing and beautiful. Looking forward to the rest of the videos!!

[@mllawhorn5584]

now on the bucket list, this series is definitely inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing guys and I look forward to getting caught up to your more recent adventures!

[@CarlisleSpirit]

more excellent stuff you guys have created a new level of depth in sailing vids pls continue being the definitive "keeping it real" team

[@victorbitter583]

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would like to thank you for documenting it. Geez, it just had everything any couch sailor could want. Thank you so much and may all your travels be safe and as kind as you both are. cheers.

[@oldmanridesomr1645]

A fantastic series of videos. It's opened my eyes to parts of Australian and historic art that I was naive of

[@SailingInconceivable]

Absolutely, you are inspiring. Free Range Sailing and Dylan Winter's Keep Turning Left are the best sailing channels on KZbin, if for no other reason than your unadulterated presentations of your respective home countries. Love it! Here's to another year of smooth sailing!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you S.I. We hope to see you gracing our comments page in the New Year till we run into you on the water some day.

[@cannadan81]

excellent you two...by far the most interesting sailing show this season.. thanks...keep it coming if you can...

[@ReflectingMe2024]

New viewer from South Wales UK, guys. I need to be up in the morning, but I’m now on my 3rd video of yours. Superb channel. You are living your dream and you’re both delightful. You’re both so informative and knowledgeable, and Pasquale you simply don’t stop smiling😊 keep up the great work.

[@deeparks3112]

I realize this last post of your The Kemberley's series is two years old now. I must say I have enjoyed the series a great deal, the area is incredibly beautiful and the aboriginal rock art out of this world. Both of you provide interesting commentary and keep things rolling along nicely while I learn, thank you both. Like Troy I too am a hunter by nature, so I pick up on things like his way of moving through the bush in that measured, always alert, pace. I too feel an excitement akin to his when I watch him (and Pascale) land fish. Watching either of you climb over and among those rock formations somewhat alarms me; one does not do that so freely in parts the US due to encounters with venomous snakes. I trust both of you to be fully aware however so remind myself to not worry for you. Both of you know fully what you are about.

[@delfim2006]

Awesome trip, awesone footage, impressive landscapes! You rock! 👍

[@DocNighthawk923]

New subscriber here from Hawaii. Absolutely hooked on this youtube channel! The BEST outdoor program I have seen here, or anywhere, really. So much to love about this: So much native knowledge, respect for the environment and sustainable living, and most of all, so much love and respect for each other. You make literally the perfect couple. I'm also amazed at how similar the fishes are to the ones here in Hawaii. Keep up the great work.

[@BrendanBFree]

I’ve been looking for something to watch about the kimberlies since watching all of Malcolm Douglas, you guys are just what I need!!!

[@williamlilliott2433]

Love Pascale in the natural shower. What a beauty. Can't imagine how good that felt after tromping around in the heat. I'm writing this May 2 2018 and am so happy to have discovered your videos. You seem like such close friends, just adds to the wonderful peaceful feeling of the videos.

[@StewartGartland]

Another gorgeous video. please keep them coming wherever you go, you are very good at. Fair winds and following seas.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We will Stewart, thank you.

[@davidripley62]

I will never sail but you guys have taken me out onto the sea. So grateful.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We are happy to share with you and folks like you the Australia we love so much.

[@gregorynicol3530]

Thanks we’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching your trip, you’ve captured the unique Kimberley perfectly.

[@vingreensill]

Beautiful country, great photography! Especially enjoyed seeing the cave art.

[@MichaelReeser]

I have never met an Australian I didn't like. Love you guys, thanks for sharing.

[@bobarnall3913]

Without a doubt, the most interesting and educational channel I have watched on You Tube. And that is after how relaxing your choices of music are included into the films. Very well done to both of you.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thank you very much Bob

[@49otterhound]

Just brilliant and thanks for letting us viewers tag along!

[@brianpetersen3429]

It's such a pleasure, sharing your experiences.

[@christopherforster6555]

Lovely videos from you lovely two thanks ,stay safe .

[@tomdrozdek4751]

Great Series, you are my new favourite sailing couple! Good to see the very capable and entertaining aussies doing what they love.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Tom for joining us on the trip. Plenty more coming up.

[@jimdow6470]

Outstanding! A wonderful journey by 2 wonderful personalities.

[@davidripley62]

You two have such a lovely spirit. cheers.

[@kevbjork1]

Thank you so much for sharing this trip with all of us!

[@alainbedard2284]

Another delicious video. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@blueskyredkite]

Yes, I have been inspired. I've wanted to visit the rivers in remote parts of Oz for a while, but even more so now. I just need to prepare myself and my boat, I know the boat can do it, I just don't know if I have the cahones to travel that far by boat! Thanks for the very, very enjoyable videos, I look forward to your future up-loads.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We are here if you want to message us about anything you may be worried about.

[@rondejoux8006]

Fantastic Video don't change a thing Thankyou.

[@ivanraithby3907]

Ronald De Joux yhhr

[@smoke.n.signals68canalori35]

Great video as usual, truly enjoying sailing along with you two!

[@thecityman1910]

I think it is neat that you guys get to catch and eat almost every kind of fish in the ocean- all the really good, gourmet fish, and yet you take time to catch and eat some regular inland brim when you get the chance!

[@robertatkins154]

Absolutely amazing thanks guys 👍

[@edoffher]

Hey, you two, thank you both for allowing people to come along with you on your adventure, enjoyed all eps, and have tried the yummie food methods you have shared with us, once again thank you both for the effort of putting this together, I leave you in peace, my peace I give you, from where the red earth meets the blue sea, happy Christmas.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for the Christmas wishes, we hope you join us in the new year and keep enjoying our work.

[@jonathanneethling]

Such an awesome couple. You guys really compliment each other.

[@edrosenberger6947]

I'm glad I was able to experience probably the closest I'll get to the Kimberley's, thru watching these great episodes....thanks to you two!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Ed, we are counting on you staying with us for the voyage along the east coast.

[@scotttrevethan2752]

Amazing! I'm new to the life. Well newer than new as my 34ft 40 year old catamaran is still getting rigging done and replacement of aging beam, chainplates etc. She is in Westernport now but I live in StKilda so will be sailing / motoring her around as soon as the mast goes back on. Just started at the beginning of your videos so will take me a while to catch up! Love your work!

[@jamest6837]

your girl is like mother nature herself....she is so beautiful!

[@NeeniJ9]

Absolutely spectacular! Breathtaking scenery. Enchanted by the shadow of the boat on the cliff faces. I'm new to your channel and thrilled to be here. Thanks!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Welcome to the crew Jannine

[@jensen7194]

By Golly, ...I think You've GOT "IT"!!!!...2,000 generations living with "nature/mother earth"......Keep it up!!!....A+

[@jeffmaul7999]

I'm inspired. I have bought my boat which is good start. Of course, being the other side of the world I don't have crocs to look at but there are 12m tides to play with :)

[@rj7411]

Another wonderful episode. Glad to see you two made it safely to Darwin. Thanks for explaining the algae, and that ancient riverbed is something I have never seen before. Looking forward to the next leg of your adventure.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks RJ. The algae often gets confused for man-made pollution it's so thick sometimes. It's really alive with life at this time of year in the northern ocean.

[@levelzero1264]

You two make it look so easy, good show.

[@davidmcknight1926]

Well done guys, that was an amazing adventure and you captured it beautifully ,thanks so much for taking us along . Looking forward to your next trip, cheers from Jervis bay.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks David. Jervis Bay is a pretty scenic part of the world too, it'll be nice to sail in that part of Oz next summer.

[@resurrectionx5952]

Lovely people ❤️👍💐💕

[@mikemartin6790]

Thanks for letting us come along on your journey! 😀

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Our pleasure Mike.

[@markrobertshaw2781]

Absolutely wonderful video once again. You have a real gift. Thank you so much.

[@karlgray2351]

Well done guys can't wait to see what's next.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Many wonderful things! Thanks for joining the crew.

[@ianmckay954]

Brilliant guys! Really enjoyed the series - inspiring! Thank you.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Ian, glad you are enjoying our work

[@CaptJohnsBar]

Great content in your videos, you are obviously very knowledgeable of your surroundings, and a fine sailor...I thank you for sharing, and providing someone like me with education on things i will likely never see in person...I'm a commercial lobsterman in the USA, in the state of Maine, been on the ocean my whole life on a power boat, but sailing is something i dream about...Subbed your channel just from watching three videos, guess i got some catching up to do....Fair winds to you both!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Cheers Cap'n. Part of my 20 years commercial was fishing; Pearls, Sea Cucumber and Aquarium collection. Sure it's commercial diving but the mind set is similar. We probably have a ton in common. Nice to hear from you- when we sail over that side, I'll need the good oil on getting a feed. Take care out there. T

[@wendywhite8652]

fourth video certainly like your adventures with the boat makes me want to do what u do

[@stilessimon]

Love your videos guys. Keeps me working through this winter

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Simon, hope you're inspired by the time summer rolls around.

[@jaketinsley1987]

Pascal is such a catch! Such an adventurous spirit!

[@roberttobin4484]

Great series - Thanks for the entertainment and quirky jokes . Hope to see more soon

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Your wish is our command. Plenty more for the new year.

[@dianalobry1106]

You two are freakin' awesome! So down to earth and informative (but not boring). I watch a lot of sailing videos and I have never felt compelled to compliment a channel until finding yours. Troy, I reckon you are a legit handy fellow to have around and Pascale, you are inspiring as well .....both with great attitudes. Keep up the great videos!!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Diana, hope you keep enjoying every episode.

[@rickatkins1493]

Beautiful, I loved the scenery. Slipping away is wonderful.

[@peterbridges5527]

Glad I found your channel. So cool and relaxing.

[@c00lhand2469]

I have thoroughly enjoyed your "Free Range" trip. Nice job and nice video's. Inspiring

[@byroneckhart9070]

Just watched and absolutely enjoyed the trip with you both. Thank you for sharing.

[@highvibe4839]

Omg, I've just found you guys, your so good at this sailing/ narrative story telling.. I've been on a cruise through the Kimberley on a tourist catamaran & recognised some of those waterholes from our adventure out there... Thank you, I will now go back to the start of your videos.. Sail safe..

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Kristen. We're really happy to be seeing an increase in our female viewers. The Kimberley really is amazing- glad you got to see it as well.

[@graemeoliver744]

Love your vibe and attitude. Great videos.

[@anthonyunsworth1288]

Simply Spectacular.

[@shanekelly6507]

Super effort guys. We have really enjoyed watching your travels. Great videos

[@bradyfilm]

So cool, please don't stop!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We'll do our best.

[@brucestewart9547]

Thanks guys for a wonderful trip up the Berkeley. We spent a couple of weeks exploring this most beautiful part if the Kimberly back in 2007. thanks for the trip up memory lane. BTW, very ballsy exit from the river mouth. You must have had your heart in your mouth during that exit, considering it’s only a couple of meters deep!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Phew, yeah that exit was sketchy till we could get a sail up. I was eying that lee shore pretty closely and ready to turn 180 at the first diesel cough and run back in under headsail round the point. Probably gave a few guests at the resort some entertainment with their breakfast.

[@flyingfalafel7748]

Awesome!!!! just awesome. The silhouette of your yacht and you two waving. So glad i have found your channel. subed and starting the binge now Thank you

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Raphael, welcome aboard!

[@colinmurphy4985]

Watched the Kimberley's again and loved it again, I usually don't watch the same thing twice, had no problem with this one, it's great every time, actually it was the 2 1/2, easy, easy now.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Fantastic, thanks Colin.

[@vanveen8472]

I really enjoyed your adventures, thank you for letting me tag along

[@Rick-fc5zr]

Looking forward to the next video. Thanks so much for making the videos. Great.

[@allenshepherd8705]

Great trip from episode one through episode 17. I've become a big fan and I am slowing catching up to real time. Keep up the good work!

[@brianb6603]

Excellent as usual!!!

[@dronewild3234]

I found your channel today by accident and I have already watched so many videos 😊. You do inspire me to travel the sea but for me I have zero knowledge of the ocean / boats and sailing. It must cost 30k for such an adventure... Marine mechanic in Darwin 💵💵💵. Time and money then knowledge is required. Thanks for sharing

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Everything worthwhile costs more than money.

[@tooldiebum]

I’m new to your channel and always interested in new places, Australia it’s such an interesting place. living in the u.s I never knew it had so much sailing opportunity thanks for sharing your adventures, and I love the fact you explain everything you see very cool

[@TheNWaite]

I LOVE everything about your video's. Informative, educational, genuine, authentic, and just the simplistic and very positive approach you both have to everything. Right down to doing your Kimberly wrap inside the boat with Pasquale's bra hanging in the background. In an age of technological driven stress its a joy to watch you both live the dream.

[@gangstagrandma]

Fabulous voyage. You do your country proud! I watched all your videos. Can't wait to see more. Merry Christmas to you both from Puerto Escondido MX.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks for those kind words and a very Happy New Year to you.

[@waynedoeblin6801]

Waiting for some more videos with anticipation,thanks for sharing👍😊

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Wayne, they're coming.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

3:18 those rock face's are stunning, nothing like it in my country.

[@cptstewartcannon2326]

Glad you guys weren't turned into crocodile poop! It's a great show, you can tell you enjoy what you do. Keep up the good work.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We share your sentiment. The Northern Territory crocs got even cheekier as the weather warmed up and their metabolism kicked up a gear. Keeps a person focussed...

[@MiQBohlin]

This episode has a very good music selection that really made a lot for the finished result. Personally I like it when you carefully add just a little music in certain parts as a kind of spicing to the natural environmental sounds. (Way more interesting than keep on pumping more or less famous hits.) Your voyage is so related to the natural surroundings and your humble way of approaching aboriginal sites. This way of handling the sound department, as well as the storytelling, makes it very interesting. Big 👍🏽

[@FreeRangeLiving]

You are enjoying Pascale's magic there. We both take part in structuring the shots and the combinations get a fair bit of collaboration but the sound editing is her baby. I bow to expertise on this one-Troy

[@MiQBohlin]

Correct, the sound department should have at least 60% of attention in the editing process. A well taken care of sound makes all the difference. (And you don’t have to have 30 years of experience to be good, just use your ears and stay to your vision, oups)

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Our external microphone with dead cat died in the bush and we haven't been able to replace it. We do use a Rode IXY microphone for voice overs and will use it separately when shooting with noisy lenses. We want to invest in better sound equipment once we have stopped to get a bit of work and are financial again. It is fun learning the skills to put these vids together but you may have to hang in there while we teach ourselves. Your advice and input is of course welcome.

[@MiQBohlin]

As said before, I think you are doing great and this episode is a hit!

[@MiQBohlin]

I reckon you could need a lavalier with aprox 3 meters of cable? Whatever mic you choose - pick the ones with bigger membran in each category, they give better result compared to cost.

[@billroberts9182]

Thanks a bunch from Alaska! Your videos are tops.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

We hope to get up there one day. Thanks for joining us down under.

[@HopeOfJoe]

My first episode of yours. Interesting approach! I liked it. 😊✨🎄✨🎄✨⛵️⚓️

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Richard, hope you join us again.

[@CooyaBeach]

Another shadow sailing shot. Very entertaining.

[@TheBirkin7]

Very nice. Love that you made your own rock art at around 3.15 :) Keep them coming!

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Temporary but fun. Thanks TB7

[@captainheather]

Absolutely fantastic videos! I hope to circumnavigate North America with my 3 kids next fall and only hope to make half as good videos as you guys are doing! I am binge watching them all now and I love all that I am learning from your very distant part of the world. I am a professional sailor as well but can't wait to do some unscheduled exploring and eating off the sea/land when we drop the lines for good and for the next nine months in the meantime I'll learn from you two

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Sounds terrific Heather. Maybe in 9 months we can help you become a lean mean fishin' machine. Not sure we can teach you much about sailing but its only a fraction of what we film. Mixing a bit of hunting and gathering in is usually a hit with kids so once you have 'em trained you'll be rich in wild food!

[@Al.W7263]

Great country you have there. Thanks for the video.

[@FreeRangeLiving]

You are welcome.

[@kkingquad]

Two lucky folks right there!

[@wickerbill7793]

Beautiful country. We love you Aussies & your country. Great vids but too many Crocodiles. Scary😳 Mark & Carol, San Francisco

[@FreeRangeLiving]

Thanks Mark. It's true there are a lot of crocs but theres no car traffic so it all evens out. Hope you will join us in the new year.

[@metaldetectoristnox800]

So glad i watch when i get home an have a shower im not missing out

[@RedfieldmediaCoUk]

Love the bush craft stuff

[@FreeRangeLiving]

It adds another dimension to enjoying the wild world.

[@aaronspicer949]

I see an over the shoulder boulder holder😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelrandold4656]

Now that's a great sailing video. Cheers

[@markleeson3453]

You left at 7am after getting up early! Luxury :)
