Camping on the boat - Solo, Remote - 120km Adventure

[@jlucasound]

Excellent!! (For the US viewers, if it hasn't been covered, 120 km is about 75 Miles. 65 Nautical Miles, whatever they are. )🤔 😉❤

[@riveRecon]

That’s an awesome point! I keep forgetting to “translate” distance measurements. I’ll have to do the same for fish sizes 😀 Thanks for watching 😊

[@douglaspianta4187]

Nautical miles are a minute of angle at the earths surface👍

[@justwhy2484]

​@@douglaspianta4187one minute of latitude. The distance between longitude decreases as you go away from the equator.

[@douglaspianta4187]

@justwhy2484 hence a minute of angle. Doesn't matter where you are, a minute of angle is the same (unless you get into the more complex geodesy and the earth being an oblate spheroid, at least).

[@justwhy2484]

​@douglaspianta4187 True - if you specify you are measuring angles from the centre of the Earth.

[@ridermak4111]

First video ?!?! Are you kidding me ?? Beautifully done. I love the quiet with captions. Views, critters, and odd stuff captured my attention all the way through…..and that’s rare for me.

[@CG-cx9fv]

It is great to see someone doing what I have been dreaming of doing for a long time now. And thanks for not drowning out the sound of nature with some weird music. A comment here and there about the plants would be nice so we can learn about your corner of the woods. Good vid. Thank you.

[@bsc4344]

Second that... seems all the more captivating for THE LACK OF music. Appreciate the natural sounds and lack of incessant chatter that most vids insist on.

Totally agree.

[@dee_gee_bee6072]

It’s awesome you’re using the Ozark trail stretcher tent. I live in the ozarks in north west Arkansas where Ozark trail brand was designed.

[@riveRecon]

The stretcher tent sets up easy enough. Id prefer canvas so it doesn’t get so cold and condensation isn’t so bad on the water. Thanks for watching 😄

[@capt.alcummins3364]

Good for you! Smart boating..good luck with what is next!

This was a great video. I happened upon it by accident. Beautiful scenery. The bow tent was brilliant. I'll have to watch some more of your videos.

Very nice! My only worry would have been a snake crawling aboard during the night!

[@SS-eu9dq]

I lived in my stretcher tent for 2 months in the summer, gotta keep a small fan inside to keep air moving or you get loads of condensation!

[@MegaReception1]

Thanks so much for this video i have a small aluminium landing craft always thought about making a tent to camp in it , your video just inspired me to proceed. Thanks again greetings from Panama.

[@riveRecon]

Landing craft are cool, you’ll have to post a video once you set it up😀

[@tinnturps]

cool never thought about river camping like this before. something to add to the list

[@riveRecon]

Yes it is cool river camping like this, I find there is much more to see and explore than out in the ocean. Thanks for watching 😊

[@Oldsparkey]

Watching your video there is not a lot of difference between your area and mine here in Florida. Some trees and naturally the animals but a lot sure looks like our rivers around here. Great idea on the DIY Canvas tent set up for the boat. This side of the pond has a cot set up close to the one you used , ours is the Kamp Rite Tent Cot.

[@comeoutsidefor...5408]

Chuck, the region in this video should like familiar to a Floridian. This is the only other Everglades on the world, the Noosa Everglades. One of my favourite paddle trips!

Really enjoyable video mate, great editing. You ticked all the boxes. Have to agree no music was good reminded me of the canal journeys on tv they do in Europe, very relaxing. Love that boat, have done up to 2 overnighters in my boat 4 MTR but crocs are always a worry in northern Aus. Funnily enough a few beers always helps. Cheers

[@riveRecon]

Thanks 😊 I’d like to do a trip further north in croc country. The bigger boat and maybe some barriers might do the trick 🤔 Are you up in north Australia?

[@topoint]

@@riveReconNorth Queensland. Crocs will normally leave you alone unless you go in the water. Your boats definitely big enough for extended overnighters. Good luck with your next trip.

[@riveRecon]

@@topoint cool, if I come up that way I’ll shout out. I’m still working on some tweaks to get the boat organized well for camping on the boat. I might raise the casting deck and make it longer so I can sleep underneath. I’m thinking I’ll end up with more deck space, be able to leave my bed set up, and no worries when I have to weather a storm, heavy rain, and wind.

[@hectorgarza6679]

I am envious of anyone that can go out and do this. I've always wanted to go out on a boat and do something like this, just disconnect from the world for a day or two, except I would be fishing a lot more! I just have no time. But that's going to change soon! Awesome video!

[@riveRecon]

I work full time too and I find I have to just book it in and go rain, hail or shine. I agree it can be very challenging though. I found my first time I was just letting things role, next trips I will fish much more 😊 Hang in there and I hope you get out there soon!

[@johnwoolcock9980]

Great Video, I've done that river also many years ago. One criticism. I live in Doomadgee, I am Remote, this is in Brisbane backyard, but I'll let this slide on through to the keeper)))))) Keep up the great work.

[@riveRecon]

Yes, depends on perspective - no phone coverage, not another sole in sight, and a long time to get help if needed. 😃 I’m a rookie so plenty remote for me 🤣 and feel like there aren’t many remote places left…

Wow! I finally understand how you were charging the battery. Also, that electric motor and steering mechanism are really cool.

[@riveRecon]

Yep, for 60kms I had to learn to manage power properly. There was more cloud than forecast, trees and changing direction with the river constantly didn't help. Speed of the motor really helped too. I noticed not too much difference in boat speed from 8/10 to 5/10 speed setting but the slower had dramatically less draw on the battery (About 6 amps vs about 16 amps) Next time I might plan for more stationary solar charge time in the trip.
