Catching up with some boys from Ahrnem Land they took me out spear fishing and showed me some of there ways, than top top it off, showed me what wood I needed to make my own spear and a few tips to go with it. Other than that we find our self a nice little camp spot to chill out and to be able to put a line out right in our front yard. So put ya legs up grab a cold one and come along.

Mate, what an experience! I felt honoured just watching that hey. Legends for lettin ya tag along, priceless memories and education right there!

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

Thanks mate, and im hearing ya... Feeling pretty blessed me self for getting the opportunity to hang out with them and to top it off, they take the time to teach me more ways.

[@younq_ezio77]

Thanks for filming us💯👍

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

Ay mate, that's not a problem at all. I was glad to be there at the right time with you's. Please say hello to you're Uncle and cuz for me. Hopefully one day we may cross paths again. You take care.

[@28ft]

It reminded me of when I was a kid watching you al wade through the waters and spear them fish. i used to go Eeling at night down the river with my mates back in New Zealand. We used to use a hook and line and a gaff and sometimes a spear like yours. So cool to see the old ways are still a real thing. I imagined I was right there with you’s keeping a lookout for the next fish. Awesome stuff.

[@bunyipdan]

FYI us white fellas call that tree Beach Hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus), common in Top End coastal beaches, in monsoonal forests more inland you can use a similar species called Macaranga (Macaranga involucrata) ..... both are also very useful for friction fire. Any hard wood is used for the throwing stick/woomera, usually a Eucalypt/Gum tree. Keep having a great adventure

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

Cheers man, thanks for sharing the knowledge with us… I had an idea what we called it, Just wanted to know what they called it.. I do come across it a lot but had no idea they used it for spears. Almost as light as balsa wood when dried out ay.

[@bunyipdan]

@@Thecampman_Camping-AustraliaNo worries, just thought fill in some gaps, as you seemed interested

[@MotherofClarasnoPony]

And you can eat 2 or 3 of the flowers if you have a guts ache

[@dannyhickman4758]

Thanks mate I dunno why but I find myself an alcoholic big time and when it's time to go back to work I struggle real bad watching you makes me feel better calms me a bit cheers bruz

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

Sorry you feel that way about your self man. I’m happy you find some what peace when watching us though… have a safe and merry Xmas ay.

[@CamperKev]

I bought myself a pair of those sunglasses. The best most comfortable sunglasses I have ever owned. You should be the ambassador for Spotters sunglasses. Now I walk around thinking I'm as cool as the Camp Man but my wife does not seem to agree. She thinks I'm a legend in my own mind. Ohh well, at least I'm happy wearing Camp Man style sunglasses now. Thanks for your recommendation. 😁🦘🇦🇺🍺😎😎😎

Nothing better being on country with true countrymen showing the real way. Great footage legend.

[@fuzzycuzzy]

The jigging up a random bed to sleep on literally is what I live for, that's so fuckn sick. I've gotta do it more for myself, start living instead of surviving. Good on ya mate love the vids

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

Cheers for the great feedback man. It’s pretty much my life in a shell. Try my best to do things my self as there’s no shops around most of the time. I’m hearing ya, life’s to short and must somewhat enjoy it. Ps, I didn’t give him the ones I let him try on, they was a gift to me.. but I gave him my pair of Tonics when I got back to camp. He was a happy man :)

[@JohnnyD1305]

Absolutley amazing footage, what an experince.

[@nickkeyte8596]

Seen u coming into palmo the other day. Tried to sing out but it turns out Toyota horns are on par with their handbrakes. Have fun in this beautiful country. Would love to show you a couple rippa spots

Certainly a day to remember, a good day no doubt. Absolutely the here and now. What a wonderful meeting. I could learn so much in so many ways. Hopefully the beginning of a lifelong friendship, sitting under a tree in conversation after quite a lesson in generational experience. …..Hello I found your channel today, subscribed, looking forward to watching your future and past videos. 👍

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

Learning from the best mate. Hope all is well . Have a great Christmas. ❤️🇦🇺🍺👍

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

Learning new skills every day. Back at ya mate, have a safe one.

[@donnajohnson9324]

I so love sports like that 😍 😊

[@CamperKev]

That was a scoop. It was like watching a Malcom Douglas film. Not many of us get the chance to see Aboriginals living like that. Now I'm going to need to get myself, a pair of those sunglass. The quality must be good, because they are not cheap. Thanks Camp Man.

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

Ah my favourite man to watch is Malcolm, every Saturday night on “ The World Around Us” loved it. I’ve been lucky on my travels to learn a lot form all the boys from the Cape thru to the Kimberley. And no, they aren’t cheap, specially when you brake a pair. But they are worth the money alright.

[@hashnoodel2012]

You should get a thermacell for the mozzies mate. Sick spot!

[@Thecampman_Camping-Australia]

I got one, it spends more time in the door of the Ute tho. Will get more pads one day lol

[@LandTourier]

Bloody awesome mate. Gold... Excellent knowledge and love the manners and respect given both ways. Great reaction when he put on ya polarized shades! Sensational mate ...

Thanks mate. It was like we new each other for years. I felt comfortable around him and he obviously felt the same, specially to share with what he did with me.
