I was fortunate to have a Father who flew for Pan Am from 1949 to 1984. He loved the South Pacific. He always had a mask, snorkel, fins and speargun with him. I was fortunate to travel with him to Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, Bora Bora, the Philippines and more. In the 60s and 70s they had 4-5 day layovers because there were not that many flights. We would find the wilder parts and camp out using leaves for mattresses and catch and cook as you do. Some of the best times of my life. Your videos take me back vividly to those times. Thank you.

Guys sorry no donations barley have cash for life. You inspire and create hope for people. I live in Canada and live for crown land camping but your life style and the grace you both bring to my life is much appreciated. I'm old and can live your life with you,one I wish I lived. Back in the 90's I toured Aussie with my Rugby team. Strick and Fran keep inspiring. Fran you need to start a life style channel. You can reach a market that need you. Our children need your pointers to inspire our youth for fitness. It's not fitness gyms it is to get out and experience life. What a Beauty both of you. Fairdinkum life hack.

On another note, I've been watching Vagabond for the last 7-8 years, Delos for 8 yrs. your channel 2 years, Sailing Nandji 5-6 years and Drenched since they started the channel before Jordan and Nate broke up. Ric Moore is another good one too, been watching him off and on for 7 years. I feel like I'm in good company with all these fun to watch SV channels.

Love this. There’s something about you both that separates you from the rest. No idea what it it, but it helps me focus on a future. You’re a Legend, Jack. Fran, is the epitome of a Goddess. Both 100% in control of their destiny. The time you were with those kids…. Clucky, clucky Jack…. Beautiful kids, living an incredible childhood. Being someone who had the worst, it’s absolutely magical when I see some kid living the best. Your kids are going to be future legends! Keep being awesome, guys.
