LOST and ALONE on a remote AUSTRALIAN coastline

[@rhondamcgrath3905]

Only an Aussie would film while holding a dunny roll in one hand and not try to hide it from the camera. "talk about authentic content!" Awesome episode what a beautiful country we live in thanks for taking us along for the ride! keepem coming.

[@WildReaches]

Keep living the dream lads, not every fishing mission is going to pay off, but it’s all an adventure making memories. 👍🏽

[@WildReaches]

Makes the ones that pay off even more amazing!

Great little episode mate! Some days are diamonds, and some, well aren’t! Haha what an amazing little spot! Could live on that cubby platform set up for life I reckon mate! Thanks again Nath! Love it

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Jay! Me too mate, I loved that spot, can’t wait to do it again.

[@Macka.]

awesome episode guys cant wait for next week

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Macka

[@bigd4000]

Top stuff again Nath great vid👌 Did u try fishing off the beach there at the mouth with livies, we used to get smashed by big barra an jewies at nite👍 Stay safe budd 🤙

[@WildReaches]

No livies this trip mate. I’m sure you’d clean up at night at that mouth tho.

[@roypowell3450]

Hello guys another very enjoyable episode thank you, how about putting some hi viz tape on the drone to make it a little easier to find? blimey what a spider by the way. We loved the "bottom of the fridge food" with Nath. So as you know by now we like living the dream, we delved in the bottom of our fridge for a cook up. We found some Christmas pudding left over from Christmas, you can guess how cold our fridge is it had a fur coat, there is some dried up bacon, a limp leek, a mouldy pear! and left over rice. We tried it and even with the Tabasco it don't look as good as your meal....Cheryl suggested I need crushed nuts😗 that's worrying!! Take care until next week👍👍

[@WildReaches]

Haha that mix of yours doesn’t have the same ring to it, but I agree with Cheryl about the crushed nuts so let me know how that goes 😳😜

[@roypowell3450]

@@WildReaches Will do! 🙄.

[@OfficialMichaelCarothers]

Really rad episode per usual! Beautiful drone shots - the trees look different shades of green etc & water ways so cool to see. I want that damper! Will have to send some old bay seasoning before your next adventure. Would crush on the bushtucker and more. Cheers and thanks for making my Friday night out here in snowy Chicago

[@WildReaches]

Snowy sounds so much fun Michael! Thanks mate, I agree those colours were amazing. Keen as to try this old bay mix!

[@michaelreis7010]

[@WildReaches]

Good on you Jill!! It was saved! So lucky

[@lifted4x4k5]

Watched every episode. I'm up in the Smokey mountains so never see things like unz do cept pine trees. Couldn't help notice your bud could use Ula ( Rob Schneider movie 50 first dates ) as a distant cousin in an episode 😊

[@WildReaches]

Haha I’ll have to check it out. Thanks Gary, glad you’re with us from all the way over there 🤙🏼

[@geoff5326]

Is Dan ever coming back?

[@WildReaches]

Not in this season

[@jonnywaselectric]

I've built a few drones back in the day, I would put some reflective tape on them, I lost one in long grass and couldn't find it, came back at night with a torch and found it in 2 minutes.

[@WildReaches]

Yessss! That’s a great idea

[@jonnywaselectric]

@@WildReaches works good mate, hardware store should have rolls of it, I think mine is scotch or 3M brand

[@Travelling_Jonoberries]

Nath, why is the water clarity different from the East to West sides of the Cape?

[@WildReaches]

Hey Brad, in my opinion a few reasons. One is the west coast, particularly down the southern end is very low lying, loads of muddy salt flats holding water as it doesn’t get away quickly. The big reason is the Gulf. It’s very shallow and vast. Compare that to the east coast with the Great Barrier Reef and those big currents. The high tides on the east coast push so much clear water into the systems. And they have a lot of water flowing out from the range, Mcllwraith Range for example. Up the northern end of the West Coast has some beautiful clear coast lines though.

[@Travelling_Jonoberries]

@@WildReaches agree, so you have the best of both worlds when foraging for food sources with the different tundras what a great variety. Also love that you include the indigenous way of life as we have a lot to learn and it is not since the days Major Les Hiddins and the way of the lands that have specific hidden Jen’s that are reinvigorated by your team. Many thanks as I am retired now and the Wild Reach adventures being great joy to many who cannot get these places. God bless, be safe and watch those bloody mozzies!! 😁🦋😇

[@bunyipdan]

Great episode....no need for the click bait title, you must have pretty good eyesight flying that drone within visual range at 3km! (Hmmm clear tropical days hey?) Couple of points (not trying to be a smart arse just FYI) * When you are jumping off your boat for a short walk you can deploy your electric trolling motor using the remote and spot/anchor lock rather than use anchor (well MinnKota’s have enough range and use hardly any power) * When you buy a DJI Drone consider paying a little extra for DJI Care replacement warranty (just got to be able to recover crashed drone to get replacement) * Mud Shell = Mud Mussel (Polymesoda coaxans) try sitting live clams/mussel in fresh bucket of seawater before cooking can help rinse mud out of animal.....same with freshwater yabbies - freshwater not salt) * Conical mangrove Welk/Gastropod = Longbum - covers 8 species in Northern Australia (2 most commonly consumed are smooth shell longbum = Telescopium telescopium, lesser longbum/rough shelled longbum = Terebralia palustoris) * Hibiscus tilleaceous also very good for friction fire making (fire plough, hand drill, fire saw methods) * Pomfret (pronounced Pom - fret) Black pomfret (Parastromateus niger) dark grey - silver diamond shaped fish, swims mid water and on its side (like a Halibut), commonly found in small schools circling channel marker buoys * Walking/storing rigged fishing rods - try running the fishing line around the reel base, then attach hook/lure up to first or second rod eye, this allows you to put more tension on line without bending rod Cheers

[@berniede-vreeze3663]

I hear the golden orb spider bite is fatal.Look out.

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Have a look on youtube. Joan wulff here family run a famous fly fishing company. Also if you want straight leader steam it over a kettle. Lean to make. Butt equal to tippet, the next 3 equal to the butt. Get a nail knotting tool. Nail knot the butt to line. Then other end fold back. Next line come up through fold back and wrap around butt and then go back through the way you came. Now you can make leaders. Short long, floating, sinking etc.

[@WildReaches]

Interesting Rusty, thanks mate. I’ll check out the clips on KZbin

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

I love to tell you a story one day. I out fished rob Sloane in Victorian championship. My team won bronze He patted me on the back on his 15k fly rod outfit dapperling and mine $150 with wine case made flies. The booze won.

ha is there another way?

[@glane3479]

You keep saying Cap York witch is great but where in Cap York it’s a big place maybe a river location would be good to know. I would like to look and follow you on a map. Thanks great vide 👍🏻

[@WildReaches]

Hey mate, we like to keep the locations quiet so they stay the way they are. I understand tho, I’ll try come up with something.

[@glane3479]

@@WildReaches what do you mean you like to keep them like they are, by keeping it quiet. When you don’t even live in the FNQ. Do you think everyone would rush to go once you tell them. You need to get permission to get to most place in the Cape, so I don’t understand your point.
