Restoring the Outback: Final Mining Site and Camel Cook Up!

[@kevinscully571]

Jack and Jasmine, as a 75 yo city dweller I am appreciative of any information that you are willing to provide as to the trials and tribulations of station life. Most of us city dwellers, and I include myself in this, have no idea of what it would be like living and working in an environment where if you have run out of milk its pop down to the supermarket or 7eleven. I have found your channel to be extremely enlightening. I find the family dynamics fascinating as well as the problem with feral animals. Us city dwellers as a whole do not appreciate the destruction that these pests can cause. Keep up the good work.

[@andrewrobinson2869]

I 2nd that

[@paulsnow2528]

Great site, Real life and the hassles attached . At least you don’t have to worry about the madness of cities and our ferals. Paul Snow

[@jenaemarieAZ]

Well said!

[@jenaemarieAZ]

AND - Jack is so good at instructing and leading. He is a kind & respectful boss.

[@easymacR32]

Love how the dust has given you a lovely orange interior 😆

[@spudkidmandudebro]

It takes courage to let the world into your home, way to go and what a fascinating way of life!

[@spudkidmandudebro]

Also, is that Enfield up and running?!

[@CathiVW]

I don’t know anyone who works harder or knows more about as many things as you do. You’re amazing!

[@georgedubois76]

I would like to see a time lapse of what happens to a camel after dispatch and laying in the bush. Great videos!

[@bobm5500]

I don't miss the isolation , but I do miss sitting in the shade listing to sound of the wind in the trees , the smell and the peace of mind you can find there .

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Jack, I just love the way you call all the different spots different names fantastic used to live in the country and on the land up until I was nine years old. I just love it takes me back. Look what you guys are doing. I miss it so much, but unfortunately I lost a leg in 2018 above the knee, I hopefully this year I will get a prosthetic leg so I can start walking again

[@katherinedickinson7745]

I have 2 friends who lost a leg from motor cycle accident. Both of them are really good guys. Makes it tougher for sure.

[@bumpadoesthings]

Keep up the great work Jack and Mrs Jack.

[@j.cliffordmurphy3677]

Sure the more everyday average content you feel like posting all the better for those of us that live elsewhere. I am in Western Canada and retired from farming, hay grain and cattle. Find your videos very interesting and educational, we too shoot pests and can't understand why people are put off by this, it's part of life and what we do to make a living and have to do to leave a way of life for those following our footsteps. Keep up the great video content.

[@terrybagatella3898]

Yes please, I'd love to know everything about how you guys live. I'm envious of your life style being a country boy at heart. Living on a station many times larger than some countries is very appealing to me. I love shooting and also eating meat, working with my hands.... so I can't get enough of this channel. Thanks. 🙏🙏

[@chrisbaker6776]

Is the fat Sweet like beef ? I am jealous , every time you guys cut out a back strap it looks like a 120 .oo big prime rib for a holiday ! Lol. I would probably. Founder on camel meat there. Lol. Great channel , love the family aspect of the show . I commented on how similar your lives and attitudes remind me so much of my grandparents on thier ranch in Idaho. People don't get to see the brutal work and conditions you go thru to make things better for the live stock . God bless your family ,stay safe . M. B.

[@misenplace8442]

With your observations about others not knowing what the meat is, I have been in a similar situation. I prepared a leg of feral goat for a gathering. I slow wet cooked it with a light red wine herbs, vegetables and stock for about 3 hours until the meat simply fell off the bone, then corrected the seasoning. NOT one of our guests ever guessed that they were eating goat. As a side note : Emu is one of the best meats I have ever eaten. Dark, rich, finely grained. You'd honestly think flavour wise, that it was a prime cut of beef.

[@paulmorphew1520]

Emu is great meat..

[@eikofisser8171]

Very interesting channel, I'm particularly impressed with how you approach the Camel problem, something like that would be impossible in Germany!! Greetings from Germany!

[@buckleyhollembaek7304]

Send it all we would love to see it all winters r long in Alaska !! Thanks for the video I love to try some camel meat looks wonderful kinda like Moose .

[@smallbore7025]

I live in canada. I had no idea there were camels in Australia until i saw one of your video's yesterday.

[@chantiki5878]

It would definately be interesting to see a "shopping" trip, i know you've said you aren't super comfortable filming in public so no need to show you pushing a trolley around a supermarket, but more so showing your process for making a list of provisions you need to buy, maybe touching on what your "pantry"looks like/how you keep it organised kind of thing, the logistics behind keeping the station stocked with staples etc. How often you make a trip to stock up on items etc.. do you do dedicated runs for supplies/beer/ammo/food/toothpaste or if say someone like ANT or you dad is going back to town for his yearly social event do you give him a list of a few things to bring back. Sorry for the rambling wall of text haha. Enjoying the content, keep it up

[@joashmunroe9731]

Love your work brother, I'm from Cosmo newberry but I live up north.. I loved going out to prenti Downs it's lovely an beautiful atmosphere out there 💯🤙🏽

[@kevinjgoult9482]

Love to see how you guys survive and stock yourselves. Awesome video again. Would love it if Camel could be more widely available to buy, free range organic meat tastes the best ! I eat farm killed lamb all the time and it's amazing

[@danchaney4836]

I enjoy your channel no matter the content. Also you have a beautiful, hard working wife, and great kids! This is thoughts oceans apart!

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

If you film it I will watch it! 👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸

[@chrisvandonsel365]

I would love to see a video where you show plants that your stock eats, grew up with cattle in North East USA live in northwest now but checked out range around the world. Minus Australia, checked out bitter beer while I was there

[@rickcockcroft7590]

Would love to know more about life so far out. Also you mentioned making biltong previously, also film that process. ( South African in USA)

[@fotara]

Love your station brand ,just noticed the goanna artwork ,very Australiana 👍

[@loribaker8339]

I saw your shopping video when you drove down to Kalgoorlie. That was a very long drive, especially with 3 little girls! I guess it would be too much weight with the family of 5 + your purchases for the flight home. I know driving allows for other things, so you just have to do it, right? Jasmine...I don't blame you about the electronic shopping list. I have to have pen and paper too. I think it's funny that you raise beef, but you eat camel. I don't think I could get a bite of camel meat down. I guess it's no different than when I eat pork or chicken. Enjoy seeing your life out the back. Thanks for taking us along!

[@williamsmith5514]

Good to here mate that it is comfortable weather . Looked like you raised a very good draft .

[@Azamyth]

I would watch a grocery run for sure, but couldn't tell you which part is more intriguing then any other about it

[@shaunkeating9989]

Yes, Would definitely like to see how you do your grocery shopping. I have only ever had to go down to the local store no more than 10km away. The logistics and planning would obviously be far different for you.

[@arffadailey8055]

Jack & jasmine l think you may kick start the camel meat industry .Your videos me & others very interested in trying some meat. Well done.

[@jonathanbrocklehurst6724]

Backstrap is also delicious cooked as a roll with dry rub seared and then baked. On the topic of the battery life for solar water pumps could they benefit from a dual battery system similarly set up to vehicle ones eg redarc or home made ones with a solenoid. It may not be financially viable but at least on heavy volume water points you would have a back up on overcast days or when the harrows of the desert are drinking lots.

[@sautoter411]

I would love to spend a month on prenti doing the camels cats and foxes, keep up the good vids steve uk

[@ZoroWaldo]

Jack Get into the jerky game . Camel jerky various flavours . Camel biltong.

[@garycananzey3251]

Get yourself a professional carpet knife with changeable razor blades. They go thru hide and hair like butter. Will reduce time for removing backstraps to near nothing. Used these on deer to Bison. Cuts like a laser.

[@michaelatkin9649]

24:10 ive found that the game flavor comes from not dropping the animal fast enough, not draining the blood from the animal and not hanging it.

[@swampdonkey3278]

With what yall are going thru with camel's is a lot like us in southtexas with pigs but I have worked in Africa and can say camel is damn good and so are the pigs we have

[@homey3051]

Hey from Rice Lake Wisconsin. Did you ever name that well you reopened, that a no brainer. You should rename that well sight Second Chance

[@andrewwebb2691]

Anything you want 2 share is good. Maybe some of yhe scenery it beautiful country in that area

[@cedhome7945]

Orange in an orange landscape is this outback cammo? Great to see what life in the big landscapes is like👍

[@darrenbrown5248]

How many km on the cruiser ute love your show mate?

[@salmonhunter7414]

I would like to see it all.

[@jasonrowe268]

Keep up the good work you are doing on this channel. Whilst from a farm and having friends on stations they were only up to 100k from town so they would do a couple of trips a week to town for supplies and social activities. I’ve driven past heaps of remote stations and always wondered how the logistics of living so far away from what the mainstream have just to keep a household going let alone a station. I’d be happy to watch anything you’d like to share about the daily life of living remote.

[@gman7329]

Like anything it depends how it’s cooked, I tried kangaroo at a fancy restaurant in Cairns & it was garbage! I tried it at a small Aboriginal community near Alice Springs cooked in the hot coals & it was amazing!!!

[@michaelatkin9649]

I bet if you put up snares that 7' high atleast around your pens youd get a lot of camels strangled before they even make it into them. Wouldn't put your cattle or people in danger since its only the camels that have their heads up that high

[@paulmorphew1520]

More than likely illegal. He has to follow so many damn laws..

[@darylwithers3713]

GREAT to see you using some of the meat bush butchering is all about trial and error how did your snags go have done anymore

[@brettadams9826]

im also supriseed you dont have shooter bars on your utee like ther roo shooters

[@veridian79]

How many water points and trapping yards do you eventually want on the property. Do you try to put them a particular distance apart or is that more decided by where it is easiest to drill?

[@erichaskell]

Is the white on the ground salt or gypsum?

[@waynesellars8703]

Why only use the backstrap. Are their rumps and ribs no good?

[@veridian79]

Speaking as a meat worker, there is not a lot of meat on the ribs, the forequarters are intricate to bone out, there would be a reasonable amount on the hind quarters, but Jack may not have the freezer space (guessing), so just takes the best easiest cut of meat. You also have to get the meat off reasonably quickly otherwise it can spoil with what is called "Bone Taint" this is where the heat of the animal can't escape out of the body quick enough and so starts to spoil the muscles. To do that sort of thing in a large way you need refrigeration on the job.

[@bobrussell2091]

What state are you in, how big is the station

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Dinner

[@peterbaylis2111]

Hi Jack how Far Apart Do u Try and Have Yr Watering Points

[@jack_out_the_back]

12-16km

[@scottking1479]

Yep like to that

[@michaelatkin9649]

Here in the states theres a bunch of land owners that sell hunts on their land. Many being coyote, pigs, or other invasive species. You could sell hunts and make some money while getting rid of those pests

[@frankryder9325]

Hello Jack just wondering what is goin on with the Wedgetail 308 the reason I ask is after your great review I ordered one ??

[@jack_out_the_back]

It's going great! I just haven't used it a lot this last week, we are working on the videos of it doing a reasonable amount of work, but are cautious about KZbin giving us another strike...

[@frankryder9325]

Ok Jack Thnks @@jack_out_the_back

[@williamsmith5514]

Jasmin , in IGA stores you can get alcohol free wines for $11 a bottle

[@nigelmorgan3449]

There’s also a place that make non alcoholic wine in middle swan not sure what it’s called

[@leonardlcollett1907]

Talking about a shovel, for easier digging get a shovel called a plumbers mate .Cheers

[@robertheywood5061]

Giday Jack. Is Ant still working on the station?

[@tarangryphon3914]

How come you didnt opt for a levergun instead of the bolt action? I feel like the fact you only have 10 rounds between 2 mags anyway would make something like a henry big boy significantly more viable for somewhere like Australia. Plus the added benefit of a closed system that means getting your mags dirty isnt an issue

[@deviation1000]

Wouldn’t a lever gun be less suitable though, since Jack has to reload quickly on the move? Maybe a Browning BLR would be suited, as those are magazine-fed .

[@michaelatkin9649]

29:35 to give you guys some advice on content, i say video things you guys do that most people wouldn't be dealing with if they lived in a city. Do a bit of everything and just ask if they want more videos on the subject or not. Also look at your algorithms to see how much or what people are watching

[@paulmeek7964]

I’m still curious what do the cows eat all I see is red dirt as a rancher the lack of information is what drives us to see how the world is fed and maybe some info that might help me and fellow ranchers

[@peterbaylis2111]

I think People that like the Station Running Want to See the Whole Works and Jerks That Go,s On

[@paulsdogwalking]

ya, i've seen that before with other meat, if the cattle and the camels are mostly eating the same things and drinking the same water, then you're not going to taste the difference

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Hi Jack and Jasmin I used to drink Radler 2% but they don’t make it so I’ve tried Rider and it’s full strength to strong 4% unless it super cold I don’t like so I’ve gone back to Pepsi max

[@Badger-w8u]

Jack , how come you cut beard off ? Paul in England .

[@robertyoungblutt6999]

Great chefs say fat is flavour

[@Soundofwindonsand]

I would be out every 6 months to harvest a cammel, I am so sorry to see them have to go to waste. I noticed that one barrier that is always In the way of so much of your Family Operation, is always the same thing. Politics...

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Jack I’ll give it a go on my blue healer think she’d like some camel

[@erichaskell]

Ah, the camel found a unique method to exit the paddock.

[@markissboi3583]

Hot dusty sheep cattle yards that i dont miss drove tractors plowing fields in Vic 1970s hrs on end then went droving2,500 head sheep had enough hit the city life jobs payed more

[@brettadams9826]

got to love Unifi stuff i part of fam ISP and now mostly on it across thee neetwwork dont like how they want you to buy into thee nodes

[@PaulZ-mann]

Do you ever get questioned by the Government about how much Ammunition you expend culling the Camels?

[@paulkeys175]

On behalf of wild mushrooms, NOT GUILTY.

[@koosviviers9965]

Why u put on gloves for shooten

[@nunyabeeswax2575]

Rifle is on the dash in the sun, picks up a lot of heat, and even more from several shots. If he runs after the camels and trips, gloves will help save him tearing up his hands.

[@shanejones4058]

I miss living in the country where I could go out back and shoot my guns and not be harassed by anyone.

[@homey3051]

Are you going to get a drone

[@michaelkeselman]

The fat is the most important part, don't waste it!

[@gamerjay6624]

LOL, yeah, maybe avoid the mushrooms !

[@michaelatkin9649]

14:25 lol whats your snapchat handle?
