A quick update explaining how I ended up getting kicked out of Kiribati! Feel free to ask me any questions you have in the comments.

[@nathanbrown8031]

Chuck is one of the most twisted people I’ve ever known. I lived on fanning from 2000-2003. NCL wasn’t there yet and I started a timber business using the coconut trees. We had attempted aquaculture there as well. Chuck was always mingling and trying to get his dirty hands in every way. I loved your videos it brought me back to that magical place.

[@WeeClanTorrance]

Oh dear! We have waited for years to find out how things were going, and this is clearly not the news we were hoping for. Your time travelling to Fanning and on Fanning were brilliant to watch. I am glad that you are happy and have a great job which keeps you out in nature, where you thrive. I am also happy that you are holding no grudges to Chuck, may he too find a way to unburden himself of these happenings. Wishing you well as you find your way back to your island home and family in the future. We will surely come with you and support your journey. Thank you for making this update video, totally appreciate the time and effort! Best wishes in all you do x

[@andrewvockler6694]

I first met Chuck about 15 yr. ago,he was on his boat anchored up at Christmas Island. He was running surf charters out to Fanning and some other locations.We spent a bit of time with him over a week or so and then some of my local friends warned us to be wary of him. Turns out they were right, dodgy AF

[@timsterrett2417]

YOU are a down to earth guy which the world needs more of,good luck to your new adventures sometimes you just got to keep on trucking while you are young and healthy,do as much as you can till you want to put down roots.

[@kori4304]

Sorry to hear that young man😞 My family loved watching your Fanning Island videos. We lived on Kiritimati Island for 3 years back in the early 2000. My husband and I hosted a number of Yacht families at our home so through those visits Chuck came along with his wife. We never saw him again. I’m so sorry you had to go through all that. Your kiribati family are lovely people. They were living on Kiritimati when we were there. My husband knows your kiribati dad well. I wish you all the best in your future travels to Kiribati. You are promoting their country and they should be thankful.

[@jhooopesundercut6068]

We are very thankful! 🤎🤎🤎

[@galimir]

his kiribati family? is he born there?

[@kori4304]

@@galimir No he wasn’t born in Kiribati 🇰🇮 but he calls his host family his "Kiribati family"

[@galimir]

@@kori4304 aha,ok.thanx

[@icysurfer1]

@@galimirThere is a tradition in Hawaii "hanai" Families. No need be cynical. Cam helps the community.

[@XRPriest777]

Glad your ok. I know you got peeps on Fanning but remember there are many atolls in the South Pacific, let alone a whole big world to explore. If you had settled down there at a young age you would have gotten restless later in life. Now you won't end up like Chuck.

[@Gardureth]

Im so glad you were not arrested and disappeared. I really hope things work out with the government, maybe a lawyer could help you out, or the embassy, probably both, and a few testaments from locals. 🤞🤞

[@antereataan5018]

No need to have a tourist guide or a surf camp.. the last thing you want to do those islands is turn it into Hawaii or Tarawa just leave it locally let the people experience it the way you and Chuck do.. travellers, hikers not tourist

[@Mekhalaification]

E kouaua.

[@TravelStyleNews]

i never understood why you've not a top traffic contributor, you videos are great! (Keep going)

[@JayOgle]

Wow, I kinda had a weird feeling about Chuck being a little off, creepy vibe. As for Kiribati, it's off my list of trips as well as Tarawa, I've been to Guam, Yap, Chuuk, Peleliu and Palau as I work for a major airline here in the US, I live for island travel and I fly fish and dive. The Cooks are where it is at and I've been to Aitutaki once and love the people, I've been to Tahiti many many times so if I were you I would forget about micro and FSM and focus on the Cooks and others in that area. Keep on hopping.

[@jhooopesundercut6068]

I am from Kiribati and this comment’s a bit MEH

[@kdes01]

While you prefer Cook Islands, maybe others prefer more simpler islands in Micronesia that aren’t as frequented by tourists & foreigners.

[@tmtry735]

I'm so sorry about what happened. That was kind of a bummer! A few weeks ago I went back and visited my family in Tarawa, and I saw your friend, Chuck, at the supermall. I recognized him from watching your vlogs on Fanning island. Anyway, I hope you'll be able to go back and see your family on fanning. Tekeraoi!

[@GBooneoh]

why rub it into the guys face that you are there and he has been banned from the country?

[@Repentance79]

That's kind of hypocrite of Chuck, getting you kicked out for filming, yet he also asked you to go with him to Butaritari to *film* 🤔 smh. My family live on Christmas Island I've never been there myself so I did enjoy your videos thinking I'd accidentally see them in it somehow on the street, etc 🙂. In fact, My Dad used to work for Brad too. So sorry to know that you can't go back to film anymore and thank you again for letting us see home through your work. All the best with future adventures and endeavors. 🙌

[@ckmalcokm3699]

Sorry to hear this, Hope you get back to Kiribati Miss your videos 📹

[@babbon9043]

I promise all will be fixed. All the love in the world is yours 🥰😇✌️👊👍🙏🙏🙏💪. Keep living life It's yours

[@scottvaughn7824]

That’s a shame. I was looking forward to more “island life” vids.

[@ryannieleotigbao205]

good to have you back.

[@S.V.TeFiti]

keep up the vids... you should have way more subs.. .Aloha from Honolulu.

[@mesoloco]

You should get some T-shirts, made up and distributed all through the islands that say “Fuck Chuck”. 🕺🏼 you have done far more for the island people than Chuck ever has you’re nothing but a benefit to those islands and the fact that people loved you.

[@twt000]

Talk to Kiribati Consulate in Honolulu, HI near Lagoon drive next to DKI Airport. They might pull some strings. Willie for President of Kiribati.......

[@zuzanatichy2149]

cameron, you are a goof human being. Young. Still full of future success. Chuck sounds like skunk. Price yourself on good instincts. The world is full of good and bad people, recognizing the difference between them is important. You will be fine. Keep being honest to yourself You got it.

[@No3lvl]

What a bummer brother , I know you had your own little peace of paradise over there in Kiribati So sad Chuck had to mess that up for you. Hope to watch more of your content soon

[@wavehunta]

G'day Cameron, loved your series on the Pacific islands and especially Fanning . A bummer about getting turfed out of the country. Most paradise situations has the Chuck factor to bring you back down to earth. Thinking of getting there in October. Any chance of staying at your place and paying your family? It would be good to get a reply from you.

[@henrykaake4442]

I love all thing you have done video in my country I will try to help you return someday

[@invisiblechains969]

sad news brother loved the videos from kiribati thanks for them nonetheless

[@AnaCaroline-q8c]

Im 4rm Kiribati " sorry 2hear bout wat happened 2u, hope u can go bac...luv yo vidoes thou...

[@yokweification]

Hope you are doing well brother. Come to Marshall Islands someday :-)

[@ThmiiGii]

After all these vlogs , all the content, all the time you put effort in this , its very sad that it went this way .. whats gonna happen with your house you built on fanning ? And what is Willy saying about all of this ?

[@truthspeller3279]

If Chuck was using that phrase he that is not with me is against me that quote is from Jesus and Chuck should remember that phrase because he won't be entering into His paradise but will be thrust out... Chuck no Jesus no Paradise...

[@richsmith6533]

It is interesting how and what Chuck would say to twist the scriptures. I know this as we have communicated many times about his beliefs. I am sure you have so much more as well. There are strong cautions in the Bible about false teachers... and being involved in sorcery with the drugs you two promoted in some of the vlogs. I do hope this is becoming your truth for your sake and the others you influence

[@angelalaney2148]

Can't wait to see your new videos.

[@meekmanofyahweh6452]

Between you and Chuck it reminds me of the Movie, (Ben-Hur) when his Childhood Roman friend and now a high ranking Roman Military Tribune wanted Judah Ben-Hur to betray his people the Jews. And he said you are either with me or against me!

[@terryhome7055]

Kiribas is a great place not many places like Kiribas in the world I been going there for over 25 years now my son was born there its had big improvements over the years roads resurfaced and runway and airport, I know Chuck I stay on Abemama where I have a place heading back there soon this year I will speak to Chuck when I,m there

[@autisticsimon12]

dID YOU SPEAK TO CHUCK?

[@Anaunaki]

Show me a paradise on earth where some human don't make complicated.... From what u were saying it was about greed and jelousy ... local ppl in every place have this weird way of sweet revange for something you shouldn't ever get revenge because you did nothing bad . Travelling around and trying to live in places shows me clearly - that's just everywhere . And yes negative ppl hate positive ppl... they'll use their power to ... eliminate them if they do ... as they think something wrong to them . Got not the same but similar situation here in Canarias now ... hard to swallow. Hope you find way back there. World is free humans make it prison .

[@Anaunaki]

Btw... my dream was to go there.... cause of chilled out laid back locals hmmmmmmmm this just shows me .... humans are humans everywhere....

[@tanieradaniel397]

im from kiribati but yeah man some people are just the worst sorry to hear hope you get back there

[@ienmaunga9729]

I'll see what I can do to help, I enjoyed all of your videos...

[@imaginationland474]

wow i can't believe that about chuck you guys seemed like good friends in all your vlogs

[@icysurfer1]

No, there was obvious tension in many of the videos. Chuck was nothing if not annoying.

[@Nicholas-nh2zq]

Dude I met you in the Christmas Island “airport” wasn’t till today trying to find surfing videos from Kiribati did I find your channel

[@dancewalkertarot]

Dang. Hope everything works out at the new place.

[@captainmike808]

Dam dude.. I have been approached about sailing tourist there but after seeing this, May be best just to enjoy visiting.

[@andrewbennison4290]

sad, so sad. but i at least we now know. I grow up in the pacific islands and their was always a strange and freaky portion of the fellow "westerner's" that spoiled it for the others. i feel sorry for the lost of your really great free "advertising" for Kiribati. Fanning was the dream!!

[@icysurfer1]

Chuck was envious and bitter. There is always One. In every desirable place. (or more than 1)

[@rnunezc.4575]

Shit, have a similar story of my first years at the Galapagos when young like you. Its just plain ENVY...Thats all it is...somebody who is too happy for the psichopaths they cant stand it...but , Chuck..? I d never beleive it if it wouldnt be coming from you. Bests t care Cameron. What a bummer...

[@Tigzy3]

I think you should try through the mayor of Fanning?

[@waynehearst317]

Not a "funny story", but I called this happening to you several years ago. It was obvious.

[@PA96704]

You guys were looking for profits. No bueno!!

[@gregorythompson6521]

I only just discovered your vlogs in 0ctober 2023 on going to these pacific islands, as a surfer who"s grown up in Australia and done a lot of travelling to surf dive ect i could see you going the wrong way as soon as you wanted to go commercial on Fanning .You need to have learned just have an extreemly low profile, learn from the Chucks in this world when u meet them, be polite but sus everybody out and never stop sussing them out, .The greatest problem with the activity of surfing is crowds . Look around the world at all the famous surf spots that were once like Fanning, Just nature and innocent locals going about ther daily lives, the Domino affect of surfers not wanting to surf alone and telling others has spoiled so many places that now are overcrowded tourist Hell holes with thousands of hustling people chasing money and overcrowded surf spots with collisions agression {fights} coz its just way over crowded . I could go on and on but much beter when u find a paradise if u vlog then DONT give away the names of the places or reveal landmarks that can give the spot away . And if u dont vlog then keep the location to yourself ONLY . Telling one person will cause a domino affect and soon there"l be Tourist shite everywhere where once there was nature only . Keep an Extreemly low footprint and then you can go back for ever even and its just like the first time you discovered it , just nature and you . .

not to worry the whole country will be underwater soon

[@bigblockcutlass123]

Up date, STill kick out

[@kenz122933]

sorry that you can't go back there, must be difficult. No offense but you just discovered something westerners never experience, the reality of borders (ie Africans-> EU, Mexicans->US). BTW, 3 years ?? I don't know for the other viewers, but, personnaly, i'm just so lost in the timeline right now

[@bamsemoi9380]

over illegal filming sounds kinda primitive

[@wisdomwizard4220]

The spiritual reason why things have turned out as they have, is because of the pig and fish killing. Nothing against you personally, but I study the spiritual mathematics of cause and effect, and I was shown that the negativity the pigs and fish go through, directly effects the causers of the harm. You are a good person, I like your shows, and remember, kindness with no harm, is the way to liberation.

[@richsmith6533]

Maybe God is showing you the truths in all this?

[@wavehunta]

All foods are Holy to eat with prayer of thanks and appreciation to our creator.

[@wisdomwizard4220]

@@wavehunta Not true. By your logic it would be okay if a cannibal killed, and ate you, so long as he said a prayer, and was thankful. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Kindness is key. Stop the selfish animal murder, or you will suffer just as they did. This is the true law of the universe, and I am spreading the awareness to you fallen souls, so you may return to Gods favor, and thus be saved. Trust me, you do not want to reincarnate down here again.
