MRX4 - Canoeing the whole Murray River - Corowa, cattle and guns in the night

[@gregm9569]

Awsome editing & content again...worth the wait. You got me with Corowa being labelled Vic though..had a double take. Hope your enjoying your other river sojourns & looking fwd to seeing those vlogs too

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks Greg, glad you enjoyed it 👍 ... and haha oops!... yep, wrong way around! Doh! That's what you get for editing into the wee small hours 🤪 Wahgunya = VIC, Corowa = NSW (for those folks that read the comments)

[@gregm9569]

@@AmyOutdoors really, really appreciate you working so hard on your production..it shows & looks amazing. I especially liked the camp drone fly through..classic😅

[@AmyOutdoors]

🥰 thanks mate, thats very kind of you! 🤣🤣 had to leave the camp fly through in... it gave me a really good chuckle at the time

[@bjsunbeam1668]

"I love being back in the bush" goes thru my mind every day!

[@SewOldFashioned]

Yes! Another episode of life on the river! Absolutely loved this one, with the stay in Corowa and your subsequent relief to be back on the water. That last camp was just the perfect ending to the episode. It looked so idyllic.

[@AmyOutdoors]

😊 thanks so much! It's amazing how quickly my tolerance for civilisation wore out after only a couple of weeks on the river. I loved that little campsite too... it was just what I needed at that time!

[@swagging_sisters]

Thanks for another awesome episode of your trip, you are a born storyteller and your filming/editing capture where you are so well👌

[@AmyOutdoors]

Awww, shucks 😊 thank you so much! It makes the many hours editing all worth it when others get to experience what I got to enjoy at the time 💙

[@jchambers1191]

Great to see you making your way through the river - looking forward to the next installment! Really loved the shot of the full moon in the night sky... 🙂

[@AmyOutdoors]

Cheers mate, I love nightlaspe shots... glad you appreciate them 👍

[@CM-kj6lt]

Thanks, Amy, for another great episode. Great to see emotions in there and capturing the moment. Corowa, who knew? Isn’t it amazing that we learn so little of our own history during our school years here in Aus. I felt a bit disappointed that I had never heard of Corowa or it’s place in our history. Now, it’s somewhere I will visit one day. The drone fly through fitted in beautifully. Once again some lovely shots and camera work and plenty of hours editing I’m sure to put it together for our viewing pleasure. It gives us a taste of the experience, and a desire to explore. Looking forward to the next instalments.

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks so much CM👍. Yes, I never knew Corowa was such an important place in our history before I visited too. Actually there's a lot more to learn about the town, so I hope you do get there one day to find out all about it! So pleased you enjoyed this episode, and thanks for your comments 😀 it's always great to hear what you guys think of my filming and editing and keeps me motivated to keep creating 💙

[@turtlepurple9304]

Im going to say well done before watching it. The first 3 epps were great . Thanks amy. 🐢

[@AmyOutdoors]

Oh gosh! I hope it lives up to expectations Turtle ;) Thanks mate 👍

[@toby621]

[@AmyOutdoors]

oh, bugger about getting covid - I know how that feels! Glad I could add a little bit of brightness into your day 😊 I hope you start feeling better soon!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Still a wonderful trip! I so enjoy floating along with you! HooRoo!

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks mate, great having you float along with me 😁👍

[@LatitudesWildernessFilms]

Wow gorgeous ambient sequence at the start of Day 12, I was getting lost in that! I enjoyed how to you showed the stay in Corowa as well, a cold pint after 12 days would be priceless. Thankfully nobody got trampled or shot lol! Really great music choices and yet again some amazing editing, another winner Amy!

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks so much Pete, I hope you've been taking care of yourself 💙 Yep, that beer went down a treat, and thank the heavens no Amy's or paddles were harmed in the making of this video 😆. Glad you enjoyed it mate, take care 👍

[@PetrichorWeaves]

Amazing video and series!

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks mate 👍

[@craigtsadventures7414]

Wonderful video Amy, Beautiful scenery of the Murray. Nice to see the little towns along the way and I enjoy the camping segment as well. Thanks, looking forward to the next video. 🛶😀

[@AmyOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much Craig. Great to see another canoe enthusiast out there making some Aussie content too - keep up the great work!

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Killing it with the editing. Well done.

[@AmyOutdoors]

Cheers Nas 😊

[@JakeMarcin]

What a great video! timing it well with that cabin stay during the rain/storm lol Camp on night 16 looked epic! Defo made up for the crappy night 15. Keep the videos coming, such an epic adventure!

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks Jake👍... that's one of the huge advantages of paddling the Murray - if you've got a bit of wriggle-room in your timing you can plan to sit out the worst weather systems that come across.

[@PaddlingTramp]

Hi Amy, awesome adventures and awesome shots of the beautiful river. Respect! Your fan from the Czech Republic! David PT

[@AmyOutdoors]

Awesome! Thank you David, much appreciated! Looks like you've been on a few adventures lately, and you've always got so much good food to enjoy!

[@jackcavenett840]

Great to see another of your videos Amy.Awsome scenery,your sense of humour, makes the complete package.Look forward to seeing them all.Now dont go skipping any lol.Cheers

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks so much Jack, glad you enjoyed it! ... and nope, won't be skipping any, you can count on that! Cheers mate 👍

[@MKMTA]

Thanks Amy. I was so waiting for the next vid to drop. I really do enjoy watching these & wish i was back up on the river right now.. (even though we were up there last weekend) 🤠

[@AmyOutdoors]

Cheers mate, I appreciate it! yep, this one was a while in the editing... one of the reasons is that winter is prime paddling time for me, so getting out to enjoy it in real life takes precedence, lol.

[@FreedomOnFoot]

So good Amy! This was a joy to watch and had me craving to be back out in the bush again. Your thought and work that has gone into your editing is really apparent and it's great to see your skills as a creator continuing to develop. It's definitely doing justice to such an epic adventure.

[@AmyOutdoors]

Hey Chris, great to hear from you! Yep, it's been a while for both of us, eh? Thanks mate, always means a lot to hear what you have to say on my vids 😊

[@eds4wdcamping]

That pizza looked sooo good keep the videos coming

[@AmyOutdoors]

Sure was! Cheers Ed.

[@celiamcmahon7548]

KZbin only notified me yesterday! How rude!! I've been hanging for this video for ages and was stoked to see the notification. Anyway, another great video. Also, that pizza looked amazing. Can't wait for the next one. :)

How rude, indeed! Thanks Celia, great to hear that you enjoyed it... and yep, that pizza was de-lish!

[@KateGrarock]

Mate your vids are so bloody good. Nice work on the editing. I gotta lift my game 😀😀😀

[@AmyOutdoors]

☺️ awww thanks mate! Lots of hours going into this series, that's for sure... plus, it's always nice to learn new editing tricks and see them working! Looking forward to seeing more adventures from you once bubs is a bit bigger too!

[@KateGrarock]

@@AmyOutdoors it’s looking slick. Excited for you to click the 1k. Cheers.

[@DebOxy]

Love the maps, nice to see the river traveled. Your night with the cows reminded me of several nights on the Shoalhaven River, except mine were possums, they were relentless lol. At least the cows didnt abscond with your drink bottle left out in error or thongs that were chewed 🤪

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks Deb! Hahaha, I've spent a noisy night with possums when I paddled the Glenelg River a couple of years back... they get into EVERYTHING! and I woke up on my birthday that next morning to a lot of little "presents" all over both our kayaks, lol! I wasn't worried about the possums thinking my camouflaged tent was a mound they could stand on though, because they didn't weight a few hundred kg's ;)

[@DebOxy]

dont camp in a spot with goats, they will turn your tent into a trampoline 😆

[@AmyOutdoors]

😲

[@corneliusoutdoors]

I must join you one day, Amy. But I am good at sleeping outdoors. I will try to paddle to the nearest motel.😁

[@AmyOutdoors]

Haha, that'd be a big paddle each day!

[@corneliusoutdoors]

Going downstream possible? I think. I will just do a short distance. Just choose the best stretch 😁

[@turtlepurple9304]

Hi amy its only 3 weeks till im off to vic to paddle the glenelg river for a week, moleside down to the coast . Looking forward to the rest of your story . 😀

[@AmyOutdoors]

Lucky you Turtle! That was one of my first multi-day paddles when I got back into paddling. It's a wonderful trip, especially if you can find a weather window with not much wind. The birdlife along the Glenelg is amazing, you'll have such a good time... make sure you've got enough SD cards with you, lol. And yes, still working on the next video... 😀 I'm looking forward to sharing it with you!

Yes indeed! Tasted pretty good too! Oh I definitely slept like a log on night 16 😴 Thanks Jacqueline!

You don't need an alarm clock. The cockatoos will force you out of bed.

[@AmyOutdoors]

Very true ✔️ I never did bother with an alarm clock except when I wanted to wake up for a sunrise.

[@corneliusoutdoors]

yep... they come out at around 8am.

[@RiverlandAdventures]

What kinda computer do you run to be able to edit these kinds of high quality and length videos? Been followinging you since your practice run through blanchetown. Have watched all your river videos now. 👍

[@AmyOutdoors]

Thanks for following along Cheryl! I started out editing it all on my phone, but for the MRX series I decided I wanted to up my game a bit, so got myself an M1 Macbook Pro 14, which handles all the editing and rendering of these videos really well (thankfully, because the file sizes can be huge!)

[@RiverlandAdventures]

@@AmyOutdoors what made you go the mac over a more powerful pc?

[@AmyOutdoors]

Cost was the first consideration... the upfront cost was slightly cheaper for a mac, but the ongoing annual software licensing with a PC for Adobe Premier Pro was the same as a one-off purchase of Final Cut Pro. I also asked other youtubers what they were using and why, and 70% of them recommended getting a Mac. I had never used a Mac before, so there was a seriously frustrating few months unbrainwashing myself as well as learning a new software product, but I'm comfortable using a pc or Mac now.

[@RiverlandAdventures]

@@AmyOutdoors interesting! I have a macbook air, which isn't handling it well at all. However have always been a Windows person, and ended up with a mac as it was a equally valued comp for a return... anyway, I was considering getting a pc, so I would have both, but I didnt take into account the cost of the software........ hmmmm

[@MKMTA]

Hay Amy, did you ever get a chance to complete the massive journey ?

[@AmyOutdoors]

working on the next episode in that series right now 👍
