All I need, tarp, spoon and fishing rod mate. Less is more.

[@AusAdventure]

I’d like to see that mate. 🍻

Cheers for this vid. My wife and I just bought our first tinny and this helped us alot.

[@AusAdventure]

Nice one steve I hope you have some mad adventures in the new tinny.

[@jackeugster4125]

Can you make a video on the wiring. Love the vids, keep them up!!!!!

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks Jack. I was thinking of getting a new sounder so if that happens you will see a lot of the wiring. Other wise I have a USB install video which shows a bit of the wiring.

[@OverlandSea]

Awesome setup, got a few ideas from you, thanks for sharing.

[@AusAdventure]

No problem 👍

[@rileybruckner6126]

thanks for the video it’s amazing now i know what i need

[@AusAdventure]

No worries mate.

[@TropicalZooms]

Great vid mate. I think it’s always good to see what fellow tinnie people take out with them. Watching your vids always makes me keen to get out there again. Safe travels Champion 😃👍

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks mate. Have you been getting out in your tinny much?

[@TropicalZooms]

@@AusAdventure Unfortunately not. I’ve been doing a big reno job at home putting a new timber floor down. Almost finished so should be out in the tinnie in another week or so. Can’t wait. Your vids make me keen. 😃🐟🐟👍

great video. always watching your vids keep them up

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks for watching them mate. Cheers🍻

[@paullobwein1632]

Cheers mate that’s a great video and very helpful. Pretty sure I asked for a video like this 😂😂 it seems like a question I would ask. Makes a overnighter more realistic knowing what to take to start with. Your a legend hope your next trip out is a good one!

[@AusAdventure]

Cheers Paul. There were a few people that were asking for this type of info so glad it was helpful. 🍻

[@jamesr5741]

That's a great overview of the gear you need. Don't matter if you go for 1 night or a week, you still have to take the same haha!

[@AusAdventure]

Yeah your pretty much right on that one. It’s generally just the amount of fuel that changes. 🍻

[@801Outdoors]

Nice I was wondering

[@esurcylimaf4335]

A new sub here from Hervey Bay, You have a good set up mate and I look forward to seeing your fishing vids especially Fraser Island ones. Cheers, Rob.

[@AusAdventure]

Hi Rob thanks for the sub. I definitely enjoy getting out in the bay. I was supposed to be on a trip right now but cyclone Seth put an end to that unfortunately. Hopefully it won't be too long before I'm out again. Cheers Shannon

Thanks.

[@stevemuir1032]

Neat set up mate, helpful little tips.. hope ya land a few flatty's 👍

[@AusAdventure]

Cheers steve. Only ended up getting a couple of small flathead unfortunately but the main thing I go out for is to relax so in that case it was a success.

[@kingcuda3037]

good little set up, hoping to buy something similar

Great showing. I am a tree guy. Throw that saw away, I've tried them, get a proper saw, a Silky foldable. You'll be amazed how much better it is.

Hey mate, great channel. Very inspiring. So much so that I just bought a 4.6 dory and am planning some of my own adventures soon. Also a goldie boy so hopefully we bump into each other on the water and I can shout you a beer. Cheers man

[@AusAdventure]

That’s awesome mate. You will be able to have some mad adventures in that. I hope to organise a camping weekend at the Pin at some point for anyone that wants to come so keep an eye out for that. 🍻

Hey, great video and makes me think of things I need to add to my boat for camping trips. What clothing do you prefer to wear for sun protection? I'm pretty sure I noticed that you wear Columbia PFG. Looking forward to the trip video mate, cheers

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks mate. Generally I wear a shimano or Diawa fishing shirt. I do like those Columbia pants that have the zip off legs as they can be shorts or long pants and they have lots of pockets.

[@Shreko84]

Mate once again a sensational video..... I’m planning a trip to straddie in the coming weeks fingers crossed. A few things I hadn’t thought about that u mentioned.... who done the welding for your front cast deck frame??

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks mate. I had the casting deck frame and the bow mount plate done by and engineering company in Hervey Bay. Sorry but can’t remember the name of the business.

[@jasontomkins9391]

love watching ur vidoes, not sure if u know if your life jackets are still in there plastic you can receive a fine by the fisho's and water police.

[@AusAdventure]

Hey mate. There is no law in QLD saying they have to be out of the plastic that I know about.

[@travishamilton9732]

Looks like you got it sussed mate, always enjoy watching your vids 👍. How Do you find your camping spots? Do you just play it by ear, im keen to do some camping trips myself im on Northside of Brisbane so just knowing whete to go is the tricky bit. Factoring in tides current weather.cheers 👍

[@AusAdventure]

Hi Travis, I use google earth a lot to find camping spots. Otherwise I’m always looking while I’m out in the boat. I also ask other boat campers what their favourite spots are. Bribie island and pumicestone passage might be a good area for you to go explore. Thanks for watching my vids. 👍

[@debbiemyers8589]

Nice video, good set up. What length is your boat? Look forward to the video

[@AusAdventure]

4.2m. Thanks for watching Debbie.

[@bigd4000]

Gidday budd gd to c ur healing up well after ur little misadventure 👍 Gd informative vid thanks mate I picked up a couple of ideas for my Fraser trip coming up 👌 Where do u store ur camera gear and also do use a larger esky for longer missions like Fraser? Cheers and stay safe budd 🤙

[@AusAdventure]

Hi mate just found out I need another surgery on my ankle so will be out of action for a little while again which sucks. Glad the vid was helpful. That is the only esky I take even on a longer trip. I store my camera gear in a smaller pelican case. I probably could have shown that but most people wouldn’t carry around the camera gear like I do. 🍻

[@bigd4000]

@@AusAdventure oh that sux re ur ankle👎 I’m writing this sitting in my surgeons waiting room to hopefully get signed off my shoulder reconstruction?? Yeh I’m looking for a good waterproof container for my gopro and gear etc. Just flew back in yesterday from a trip to NZ so took heaps of footage so going to have a vid done soon as we had an epic trip in the Sth island but bloody cold 🥶 Anyway stay safe budd an look forward to ur nxt vid🤙

[@Flathead_Nirvana]

Great vid mate, like how u set up ur swag! Just wondering what size is ur storage container as I am struggling to find one the height of my bench seat in my tinny. They all seem to be higher??

[@AusAdventure]

Cheers mate. My storage box is 460mm high. Brand is pelican case.

[@olivercooper306]

can u pls do a vid on wiring very helpful thanks

[@AusAdventure]

Hi Oliver. At some point I want to upgrade the sounder in the boat so I might do some stuff on wiring then. Probably not till next year though.

[@jasontal8773]

Just a heads up Aus Adventure Re: Your yellow PDF life jacket, you can get a fine from fisheries department (DAF)? if it's still wrapped in plastic... All the best on your Adventures!!.. ;)

[@AusAdventure]

Hi Jason, Its just a spare jacket mate so all is good. Thanks for watching mate.

[@buc0016]

Love it mate, what size pelican box is that?

[@AusAdventure]

Hay Dan. External dimensions are 54cm x109cm. 👍

[@ianrowan5156]

Enjoying your vids. How long does your electric motor last on it’s battery please?

[@AusAdventure]

Thanks mate. Well that depends on a lot of things like wind and sea conditions, how much weight is in the boat etc. On average it lasts a couple of days but if I use it all day it more like one day. I recently upgraded the battery to lithium and that doubled the run time and halved its weight so I would definitely recommend a lithium battery.

[@beechan4732]

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing 😄 We are looking at getting a tinny and yours looks freaken awesome 😎 what is your tinny called?

[@AusAdventure]

No worries Bee. The brand of mine is a Quintrex Topender but it’s name is Fish Fingers. 🍻

[@jamestaylor8860]

I’m a subscriber dude! Where in America can I buy a tinny.

[@AusAdventure]

Hey James I’m sure I saw alloy boats in Bass Pro shops when I was last there but not sure where you would get one similar to mine.

[@ianmcmanus3078]

It would be amazing if you could create an Excel list of all of your gear! (Otherwise I have to create it by stopping and starting your video) :-) Thanks, Ian

[@AusAdventure]

Hi Ian not a bad idea mate. I’m super busy with kids and building a house that it probably won’t happen so you might have to keep doing the stop start. Sorry mate. Thanks for watching though.

[@southwestspearheads9970]

hey mate great video, just wondering what model tinny u have? cheers

[@AusAdventure]

Quintrex 4.2m topender. 🍻 cheers mate.

[@jazzycool2950]

Dont forget a small shovel (trowel) to go with your bog roll. Nothin worse than coming across a pile of exposed bog.

[@AusAdventure]

I do take a small shovel but I forgot to show it. If you check out the video where I go tinny camping in the Tweed River you will see it.

[@C0uchy]

Cheers for the vid! I'm researching for my first boat, how do you find the 4.2m size when taking the wife out? We'd love to go camping together

[@AusAdventure]

No worries mate. My wife complains about the ride of it when there is chop so it’s not a good size if it’s rough. So my advice would be to stick to good days or buy a bigger boat.

[@mathewemery3330]

did you modify the casting deck up the front ? the floot in mine needs to be re done and i want to improve my storage and move my main tank to the front also

[@AusAdventure]

I had the casting deck made as the boat didn’t originally come with one.

[@chrispacker67]

Interested in the brand and size of that esky..? I literally bought the same quintrex tinny on the strength of your adventures and that one seems a great fit!

[@AusAdventure]

Hi chris I got the esky 20 years ago so can’t remember the brand. You might have to measure the area you have then do some shopping around.

[@chrispacker67]

@@AusAdventure Had another watch and actually it was the "pelican case"' I'm interested in, not the esky. Cheers.

I've just got my boat licence today and I already have a boat I still need to get all safety gear what's a good fishing spot you think for beginners

[@AusAdventure]

Nice work on getting your licence mate. Just get fresh bait and anywhere can be a good fishing spot.

[@gmoriano]

Good vids…hey do you still like your rod holders in that spot? I’m trying to work out where is should put mine….

[@AusAdventure]

Hi mate thanks for watching the vids. I do still like the position of my rod holders however since installing the bimini it has made it a little more difficult to get them in and out. But I can’t think of a better spot to put them. Hope that helps. 🍻

[@tomnz3620]

​@@AusAdventure hey mate, great vid. What brand are your rod holders? Are they slip on or welded on? Looking for a way to store my 4 rods vertically on my tinny. Cheers

[@AusAdventure]

@@tomnz3620 sorry mate but not sure what brand they are. Got them 10 years ago. I just looked for ones that have rubber on them to protect the rods. I have riveted it to the side pocket.

[@foghole9449]

Is the VHF and Eperb manditory for where you boat?

[@AusAdventure]

Most of the time no it isn’t. Only when I go more than 2nm offshore is the Epirb required. It is a good idea to have both though.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Surely you wouldn’t leave the Epirb in the grab bag under the casting deck while in the boat, like mine in close east reach invade of an emergency!

[@AusAdventure]

Mate in certain situations like crossing some coastal bars or in rough weather I have the bag out right next to me so it’s easy to access. But otherwise I want all my safety equipment in the one place and I am comfortable with it all under the casting deck. From my experience in a lot of emergencies like a capsize or collision there is not enough time to grab anything so people usually have to swim under the capsized vessel to retrieve the Epirb and safety gear. In a perfect world I would like it all stored in a Lifecell on a float free cradle but they take up a lot of room. Hope that explains why I do it that way. Thanks for watching.

Since 2018 mate. I just make one whenever I have an opportunity. No regular schedule or anything.

[@rexhough7872]

Tools and spare parts ? Just bought a new tinnie

[@AusAdventure]

Hey Rex, I take a couple of screw drivers, spanner’s and a spark plug socket. Also a pair of pliers. Pretty basic. Depends on the engine you have and how complex your electrical system is.

[@castawayfishing3626]

If you did this again would you change anything

[@AusAdventure]

Not sure if you mean about the video or my boat set up so I’ll answer both. I did forget to talk about a couple of things that I take every time which is a folding shovel, a head torch and a Leatherman multi tool. In relation to the boat I wish I had a small console in which I had a place out of the weather where I could charge things like my phone and go pros. Also I wished it had a plumbed live bait tank. I’m pretty happy with the camping gear though. Thanks for watching and the question.
