Fran is an amazing woman..... to put up with all she has experienced and still not demanding to be taken back to mainland... you are one fortunate guy....

[@Adamantium-xt2th]

more than a survival cruise it's an actual love story! u guys are a good 360° example for the whole planet!

[@BashaarO.Tarabay]

There is no way you guys can ever live the way you did in the past after this, looks like It's part of your dna now, thank you for sharing , truly amazing.

[@robertwall1102]

I live near Boston,MA. and it’s cloudy and 48 degrees so you people have given me a trip to Heaven Thank you so much! Fran you are a excellent fisherman =Woman and a Angel! Thank you for the great trip!🇺🇸👍🌹

Fresh water is a symbol of love, no water- no love.

My goodness, I just love Fran's giggle, chuckle or laugh from the start of your adventure to the end. I have been looking forward to Fran's giggle, just love it.

Cheers mate. Awesome video what a life. I smiled with pure innocent joy watching you find the water.....so simple yet pure joy. This is a wonderful life the two of you are living. Thanks so much for sharing. Envious yet happy for you two at the same time. Peace and Love. Stay safe.

[@kumbormontenegro3387]

I am new on their channel . Do you know , why they don t have watermaker on boat ? It is not expensive .

[@richardwhitt5905]

You need to keep Fran she is one in 5 million or more. You guys make me so happy after A long day at work in LEO where everybody has to be problematic to say the least. I love you guys. You make me feel alive.

[@randymarshall1267]

When I first started watching. you had the new boat , and I wasn't sure, Then I went back to the start {B2B} And saw you guys in that little boat and began to realize what you were all about. If anyone ever deserved a boat like that ,it's you and Fran. The respect that you show to each other and to the planet defines you . Good luck in your adventures as we follow along. Thanks

[@lancealbon46]

Dude! You found a treasure before even getting into that boat 😎👍🏼 fantastic couple and amazing adventures. Thank you for sharing. This is better than most TV shows.

[@nathaniellollis3868]

The smile on your face and in your eyes when you tasted the water... PRICELESS, Strick!!!!! Watching y'all's videos I feel like I'm actually there. So my anticipation is REAL!!! Don't want y'all to be disappointed. Just successful.

[@glamdring0007]

That water jug was a gift from the Gods...consider it their approval of your adventures together !

[@Marss13z]

Very nice work. I'm very impressed with your competence (you and Fran). Not a lot of pointless chatter and y'all do the "show, don't tell" thing. Happy Trails to y'all.

[@thereturningboomerang]

dAm classic right there at 7:25 - "Did you push it? You didn't Love him." Hahahahaha #FranStrikesBack

I love this adventure and unlike other Aussie channels the Sheila’s aren’t just eye candy. She’s a a keeper mate especially as she is tough and provides dinner. Good on ya Fran.

Wow!.....what fantastic treasure I’ve stumbled across by finding your channel!! You and Fran are absolute legends and true adventures!!!

[@SilvermanAdventuresFishing]

What a great life you two are living. I get super hungry watching you eat the fish. What great luck also finding the water. Great vid as always. Peace.

[@pplusbthrust]

Finally a channel by a seafaring couple who use the resources the sea has to offer. so many don't even try to catch fish & gather other protein-rich stuff, Bravo.

[@ClintHollingsworth]

What wonderful memories you're making.

[@david-ve4hd]

I absolutely miss that part of Australia. Living my young life through the two of you has been so much fun. Living in Alaska now and a whole new adventure. Keep it up and all the best!!!!

[@uwegunther1176]

Loved the episode I think there are allot of people who would like to do a exploring trip that close to the edge dangerous in ways something that could go south if you didn't keep it together upstairs ,and you both get along so well it makes many of us viewers envious

[@graemedernbach8090]

Just love what you and Fran do,I know it's hard living like that,we just see the good stuff.

[@BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHX7]

When is the live wedding stream. You find a woman that will roll with you in the wild, that looks like her, and looks at you the way she does you marry her fast. She's a keeper.

[@donaldsharp3682]

Lol, yeah! When's the wedding set for?

[@bryancallen213]

[@townsville69]

The rat is a Giant White Tailed Rat. An ozzie native. They get up to 1kg in weight and about the size of a small cat. They love coconuts and will eat just about anything. Also the egg is probably a Beach Stone-Curlew. Critically endangered in NSW (no prizes for why) but still fairly easy to find in the remote north.

[@wingnut6472]

You will find the rakali or water rats are not even endangered in NSW and they grow up to 1.3kg's.

[@johng9461]

@@wingnut6472 He said the bird was endangered, not the rat.

[@seahippies]

And they're good BBQ'ed (seriously)_ - And a native to SE Asia as well as here in Oz

[@shaggss]

so awesome you two! after so long away and together you still are super great together! well done both of you. you channel is so cool!

[@richardmorris4628]

Love back to basics. Best KZbin channel.

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

Strickers -WTF, Fran is doing the catching *_and_* the cooking! Mate if she learns how to climb coconut trees you are a redundant team player. The show will be Back to Fran, and you and Az will be looking for a job LMAO! Thanks to all of you for making some awesome little videos to watch, love the effort you guys go too. Cheers for sharing, Dive safe!

[@jasegalaxy74]

Man how good was that water find! Well done guys ! 👍

[@markspalding6092]

A trout & a jack for dinner!, what a bloody woman alright! Understatement of the century! Fran, you go alright!

[@thomasraystratton1]

You both are so awesome!! I am enjoying your journey so much and it has inspired me to get back to living after some life setbacks! Thank you so much!!!

[@roypowell3450]

Very good, living the dream. Enjoy watching you both in lockdown in the UK here.. Take care.

[@nickcrawford2765]

You two are just awesome. About 20sec from the end sums it up. You have something special.

[@howiekearney]

Awesome video! I love following along with your adventure. Just the normal day to day stuff in the video is so interesting. Seeing the struggle is invaluable I think. Great find with the fresh water. Keep up the amazing job you two! Still dreaming of that day Fran takes the lead on the cam for a video!

[@paultutticci9104]

love the videos you guys are living the dream, good on you, and Fran is such card no doubt keeps you on your toes 😃

[@Druboyd]

Fantastic adventure, thanks so much for taking all of us along!

[@BUMWRECK3R]

I really want to believe there's a Franny out there for all of us lol. love every time you guys split up she always comes back with arms full of fish.

[@bugele8277]

These videos are so good! Always cant wait for the next instalment, think I will go back and watch from the start to keep me going until the next upload. Fingers crossed for the good weather!

[@larryseibert4102]

Such a great life. This is as it should be. Thank you for sharing!

[@kitwalker2968]

That Gerber is a great little machete got one myself. Enjoying the channel guys.

[@littlehugeAU]

It only took 80 days to confirm what I suspected all along, when you briefly said "I won't film you Fran..." after returning with the water - remote locations, amazing weather, and a distinct lack of tan lines on both of you, it was pretty obvious from the first few episodes. I laughed in an earlier episode where you were doing washing!!! How is that even possible, or do you spend so much time filming that the small wardrobe you have with you runs out pretty quick? You're both living the idyllic life (even with the hectic scary croc action), I'm really enjoying this series and will work my way through all of them to the latest - really appreciate the effort you're both putting in to bring us really engaging content, you're both naturals at this! Many thanks

[@danlindeke4039]

There are some intresting ideas on youtube for water desalination using solar power. Should be right up your alley. Kudos to Fran's smile!

[@rnunezc.4575]

What a great lifestyle guys I congratulate you for living in the real outdoors and thank you for sharing the wonderful images ...saludos de Ecuador..

[@simmosaussieadventures8418]

Such a great episode guys! Nice to see you guys back! That 20L water was well worth the find Strick! Stoked for you! Good to not see any crocs in this ep! Keep living the good life, & i'm sure you will both make great parents one day!! You make coconut tree climbing look so easy! Cheers

[@samangelica7404]

Love you videos keep up the great work

[@williamgrimberg2510]

Be interesting if you make a solar still by using a black plastic sheet , a clear plastic sheet and a one gallon plastic or clean metal can , dig a two foot deep by about three foot wide hole in the sand , line bottom of hole with the black plastic, set can open side up in middle of hole , cover or roof it with the clear plastic, set a smooth 2lbs rock on clear plastic right over can so as to create a dip pointing down towards the opening of the can . Put about a quart of sea water on the black plastic which in sunlight, will create condensation of freshwater on the clear plastic to drip onto the can . If you happen to have some fuel line size hose , use it as a straw to suck the water out of the can . Also , you don’t have the black plastic , just wet the sand a little. The darker the sand the better.
