PILBARA ISLANDS BOAT CAMPING || In an OLD Trailer Boat | ft

[@BurrupAndAway]

Loved the edit and your version of events, Cam! Cheers for joining us 🎣🏕🐟 You're absolutely right about all of the things you mentioned at the end of the video. It's all the little things that people don't see. There's a constant feeling of anxiety with these island trips, even for us, as you're constantly dancing with danger, and then there's the unpredictability of the weather which can and does throw a spanner in the works every now and then, but in all, it adds to the thrill having that sense of danger and it's what makes it that much more endearing 🤠 we hadn't slept on an island in 6+ months, as we're always opting for the boat ourselves these days for safety reasons, but we thought we'd give you the full experience whilst we had 2 boats for backup 😁 Yourself and Jonesy were great company. We look forward to whatever crosses our paths next, cheers! - Rohan and Eden 🍻

[@WildTouring]

Cheers guys, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a learning experience, and I was able to put a few little bits I’d picked up into practice on another boat camping trip on the way home in Shark Bay (where I also learnt a few things 🤣 you’ll see…). Thanks for the good company, showing us your beautiful coast and helping us not loose the boat overnight 🤣

[@BurrupAndAway]

Our pleasure mate, can't wait to see how the rest of your trip wound up! ​@@WildTouring🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

[@Cameron_W]

I wondered what was happening when the trip ended and there was still 10 mins of video to go. Really appreciate the honesty in your reflection, love Tiff’s response, it just makes you guys more relatable and this is why we love your channel! ✌️

[@WildTouring]

Thank you! 🙂

[@stevenbradley4241]

Hey,like the comments of reflection, warm food,cold drink comfortable bed, any thing tough after that is fine. I here you ,nice work😊

[@andrewwatson424]

good honest reflection, good to go outside your comfort zone now and again. It makes normal vehicle camping more luxurious and satisfying. Good show keep it up love the content

[@brettwilkins5529]

Really great vid, how good is the Pilbara! Coast to desert just mind blowing place to explore. Keen to see how the boat camping develops.

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Wow those tidal pools were like visiting an aquarium 😊amazing

[@louisdoliveira5420]

Cam your explanation just made it more real for us that is invested in your channel. We know its not a big hollywood production and you charing the nitty gritty makes it more reality. Much appreciated.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks mate!

[@stevesmith3556]

I miss boating. It was a big part of my life when I was young. Don't think I've been on a boat since I've been out of the Navy over 30 yrs ago. Shame. I'll just have to live vicariously through these videos for now😊 Thank you, Cam! Cheers!🎉

[@mongoosekal9230]

Cam, on the "creature" comforts, when we reach a "certain" age we are not as tough as young people and we want some comfort. I have noticed between camping out of a swag vs camper trailer, I enjoy the trailer more and would probably enjoy a caravan even more. Great video as always, you are living all our dreams with the places you get invited to so don't fret about how the video was presented too much, we all know what goes into making these. Keep living the dream and all the best for the future and with the family.

[@WildTouring]

Very true, 16 year old cam in his old GU Patrol on P plates would be disgusted! 😅

[@susiedj8981]

You prob need a wide brimmed hat out on the boat and you were prob dehdrated by the time you came back to shore. Love your honesty! Cheers!

[@huntbbq8795]

Great episode mate. Love the honesty at the end as well. We go camping because we enjoy it. Take whatever you need to be comfortable. I’m really loving the Northern WA vids as well. Keep them coming. Cheers.

[@JenBolst]

Great episode, really enjoyed it. Loved the recap at the end. I imagine it's hard to portray how the trip is going in the moment. But I appreciate the honest feedback that it's not as easy as it all looks. Love Tiff telling you that's not good enough 😂 to get a great recap of your trip. Looking forward to F2talk!

[@WildTouring]

Haha she will always tell me how it is 🤣 She’s good like that! I think Harry has lost a heap of footage from the F2talk, so we may have to refilm it another time!

[@PaulaS-jd9ts]

Thoroughly enjoyed the episode. You do a great job Cam’. Thanks for sharing.

[@mothergoose3064]

Totally get it. I've had the same experience island hoping. Great fun, in small doses.

[@robertgrayson3394]

Love your content Cam. I can concur largely with your sentiments re boat camping. We have a core group of 4 of us that have been camping out of 4wd's and boats for over 25 years now and whilst both scenarios are awesome and the places we go and the things we see are just outstanding, the boat trips are the hardest work. I have my car set up for touring with everything I need at hand, and I truly miss it when I'm separated from it.

[@WildTouring]

Glad to hear it’s not just me then! 😅 thanks for the support mate!

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic episode as usual, congratulations on the Coral Trout. Thanks for your honesty in your reflection after speaking with the "Editor" If your not learning your not living

[@peterjames8714]

Great video of a great trip. Really enjoyed a different type of experience. Cheers

[@fleurneumann8430]

Love your honesty at the end of the video and we are with you as to the creature comforts .

[@getoutthereanddoit]

Continuing on with great content Cam, love your work!

[@alanjohnston243]

Don’t overthink stuff mate, you’ve done plenty of camping and you know what to do ……,cheers mate 🍺🍺

[@stevesmith3556]

You need to get out with Pete this summer on a tinnie camping trip collab. That would be a great one!

[@WildTouring]

Absolutely!

[@AdventuringPals]

Nice one mate. And thanks for adding the Reflection at the end. I agree with Tiff in its importance of sharing the real feelings. I can understand trying not to be negative too but I think you got a good balance there.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks mate!

[@katherinemillhouse7365]

Fanstatic Episode, the honesty epic mate!

[@kathrynbayliss3252]

Love the honesty

[@kainebarker4185]

I think reflecting and being honest about your experience overall was the best play. Thanks for sharing the whole trip and your thoughts. Cheers!

[@weirdo-p8z]

One of my favourite channels.🤘

[@robertallum6509]

I did the same. Took too much stuff. Got fatigued. Had a great time and will do it again but we all learn as we go along great stuff Cam thank you.

[@martytee4042]

The round up was good. Yes a day out on the boat just knackers you. I believe it's a sign of your age, when young you can camp on the ground then you buy all the gear, then you get a camper trailer, then a pop top then a full height caravan. All of this you've done. Very enjoyable.👍

[@WildTouring]

Very true, 16 year old Cam would tell 35 year old Cam to toughen up! 😂

[@MarcBraisby]

Loving the episodes guys. Keep picking up tips for when we do our (less adventurous) family trips. We always take way too much stuff wherever we go!! So many amazing places to explore in this amazing state that we live in!! Looking forward to seeing episodes with the boys in the Desert.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks Marc! 🙂

[@nzmarkb8713]

With you totally Cam, I did 24 years in the army so not afraid of ruffling it. But I enjoy being comfortable now An old saying we had “anyone can be cold and uncomfortable “ Great episode 👍

[@12xxddr]

Thanks so much for this video. To be honest I really enjoyed and appreciate the bit at the end with your reflection on the whole trip. Possibly the most. Tiff, what a legend...great wives makes great husbands and vice versa. Great team you two!

[@mini_steve]

When it comes to the "creature comforts" I feel it's more about less struggling and effort for more time to chill and relax. It comes with age, apparently. I'm not at the van stage, but every day in the bush, the alluring call of a toilet after coffee is becoming harder to ignore.

[@WildTouring]

It’s a bloody luxury that’s for sure! 😁

[@johnwest964]

I am sure that even when you first tried camping there were things you learned and tweaked on subsequent trips as we all do, This was just another learning experience for you. Great Video.

[@krismezza]

Brilliant ep Cam, I've worked up in Karratha and Dampier for 20+ years, and regularly fly over the islands there, looking down wishing I was on the fishing instead of working. Between the Dampier island, Monties, and Barrow, the fishing is there is incredible. Just the heat and flies that is the killer in the summer!

[@mwilliams2101]

The drone shots in this ep, mate! Good god makes me want to pack the car right now. Loved it thoroughly. Thanks for the quick bookend to the video, I think it’s really important to see that even a camping and outdoor veteran such as yourself is still always learning. It puts into perspective that everyone has those days (which I had recently setting up a camper trailer in a torrential downpour) I also think there is nothing wrong with acknowledging the creature comforts, because it keeps you comfy while adventuring .. and isn’t that the point?

[@WildTouring]

Thank you mate, appreciate it 🙂

[@louiskudlak2256]

Great video buddy, i feel Jonesey,s pain, I don't do boat fishing, get seasick bad, great adventure, awesome spot, low tide pools were so cool

[@WildTouring]

Thank you mate! 🙂

[@Cl4rky]

I’m looking at you putting the burgers together, and I’m saying nooooo he’s forgotten the kewpie!!

[@WildTouring]

Always forgetting something haha

[@chrisellis4137]

That is a nice area around Airlie Beach and the water was so blue..

[@jodifinnegan8660]

Appreciate your honesty at the end of the video mate…

[@danthomson387]

Pro tip for camping on the islands, drink more beers, then none of it matters 😂😂😂 (so I’ve been told) Awesome video making me miss me old stomping grounds all over again ❤️🍻 cheers

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

What a beautiful spot dude Haha getting soft mate

[@craigpatten8349]

Loved the transparency as always

[@adamroberts1738]

epic atleast you did it when we travelled or did something different we always learnt from the experience learnt what was a need to take and what to leave behind every experience is different thanks for being honest love this channel I'm planning my last trip with my dad as he has parkinson and wants a final trip to Busselton where he spent many holidays fishing and camping

[@WildTouring]

There is something to be said about occasionally putting yourself outside of your comfort zone, broadens your horizons! All the best with your trip with dad, hope you guys have a ball!

[@N_ickoutwest]

Hey mate. Been watching the channel for a while. Just want to say that your personality has really started to shine through in these videos over the last few months and it has really taken your videos to the next level. Just keep that smile on and the views will keep on coming. Great work.

[@WildTouring]

Appreciate the feedback Nick! 🙏

[@Mckee11]

Awesome stuff mate

[@nicholasaldridge5151]

That is a glorious mustashe

[@mrdonny3501]

Sometimes you need to try camping different out of your comfort zone so next time you do it the way you like. Good video. Cheers.

[@andrewk579]

Rohans moustache is verrrry impressive

[@WildTouring]

Isn’t it!

[@aussie_camp_dad8779]

Good ep mate love the boat content. You need treat yourself to a decent gas cooker or just fire to fork that fish 🎣

[@markdixon215]

Did enjoy your video - camping trip with the boat and your openness on the experiences learnt. That’s a great spot by the river, hope you had a good nights sleep there. Have a good week. Cheers from NZ

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Mark, was a great trip and a learning experience 👍🏼

[@swompa]

We got a bigger boat last year for camping stuff and, once you get it right, it is much cleaner than camping on the beach but the lack of space to stretch your legs does have challenges. We (family of 4) sleep on the boat but we anchor really shallow so we can get off and run around. Key for us is to keep it really really simple. Sea water wash and fresh water rinse if need be, or a wet wipe for the sensitive bits. Tarp down on the deck before the mattress to keep the days smells away while you sleep but the most comforting thing is two anchors down when you sleep, at 45 degrees from another so if one does drag and foul up then you have the other one. In saying that, we have good anchors and have not dragged but it allows me to sleep well at night…..oh and thicker anchor rope so if there is a chafey spot then you have redundancy there too. That has got us through 2 nights with gusts up to 35 knots in Shark bay, anchoring in 1m of water with 15m of anchor rope out on each anchor.

[@WildTouring]

Thanks for the tips! 🙂

[@Oceanic_Adventures]

I’m currently setting my boat up for extended trips, it’s definitely more complicated than a 4wd and the risks can be worse if something goes wrong. Keep it up though it’s certainly a different aspect to your channel now.

[@boomboom78oz]

Camp on your boat and take less. Awesome vid I am currently interested in boating fishing so enjoyed it. I used to be 4x4 and camping but love fishing.

[@davidwood2654]

Hey mate, I have started stripping back the wanky items.. jet boil equipment great.. jiffies/blow torches gone.. cig lighter,bit of dunny paper light a fire.. feels better with that lighter load.. setup under ya bow with second battery, fridge, draw, that way everything lives in ya boat like it does in the rear of ya car.

[@garyezard7512]

Nice one mate 🍺

[@noralleharper1756]

Thanks Cam. Great Vid

[@offcampnandy7727]

Hay Cam, Great episode 👍👍👍, enjoying this series👍👍👍 I get 100% what your talking about being comfortable, being in your element , and relate to being out of your comfort zone🤫🤫🤫. I need my creature comforts, power , water , amenities , fridge that keep all my goodies at that right temp and a bloody good bed😁😁😁. Lesson learned maybe🤔Do we need to step out of our comfort zone 🤔🤔🤔Hell No 🤣🤣🤣 Keep the good stuff coming 👍👍👍 Cheers Andy 🍺🍺🍺

[@WildTouring]

Thanks for the support as always mate 🙂

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Fishing up north really kills it for fishing down here :) Those grinners can be a pain though. Last time we went to Cleaverville there was a plague of them, they were even hitting surface lures, something I have never seen before. My absolute favourite area around Karratha. I miss going up every winter.

[@kelvinthomas374]

Exciting way to learn a few lessons 😂

[@oldbloke204]

I'm the same when I'm camping tbh. I'm too old to be uncomfortable, unwashed, sunburnt or eaten by bugs. I go to relax and enjoy myself so if others want more then they can leave me behind. I got the impression from the video that you were a bit out of your comfort zone but that was only to be expected imo. Good video and that last camping spot was a cracker.

[@nicklongo449]

Great video Cam, enjoyed your addition at the end. The Wife was right, portray both sides of the experience shows were not all perfect, expect to make changes and learn. Great job mate, thoroughly enjoyed it. 👍👍

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate, appreciate the support and feedback 👍🏼 …and of course Tiff was right, I wouldn’t dare say otherwise 🤣

[@ianskews3776]

Good episode,a little bit different and some good honesty!

[@RicMyfraps]

At 23:00 is a mackerel sky over in Mackay, that screams “ drag a mackerel lure tomorrow!!”

[@Mosesk1988]

As we get older we all like our creature conforts! HAHA id never camp out a boat, plus the sand flies id end ip with red welts all over my body like i did at girralia station staying on the beach section.

[@WildTouring]

Very true! The sand flies love me too 😥

New name for your (and mine) significant other! The Editor :) They're critical to keeping us honest mate. Bless 'em. Great episode.

[@WildTouring]

Gotta love her! 😆

[@shanenorwell8580]

Great chat at the end mate. I think the biggest problem with channels is that they super coat everything and then when people get out there and actually do it they can be really deflated that its not as good, easy, pleasant, whatever as they see it portrayed. I didn’t take it as complaining at all and to be completely honest your approach to and authenticity to builds, purchase decisions and travel is exactly why i watch you guys.

[@WildTouring]

Thank you 🙂 Yeah I hear you, how often do you see a really beautiful place shared on social media, but in reality it’s ram packed with crowds! 😂

[@markpalmer5787]

Who doesn't like a hot shower before climbing In the swag. 3 weeks 7500km in the Finke, Madigan Line, Strezlecki Track. Hot shower every night. It makes camping so much more enjoyable. Great series Cam. Cheers Mark...

[@shanevillis4079]

If you boat camp like that again, take a 2nd anchor and anchor down bow and stern.

[@WildTouring]

I’ve seen people doing that, but apparently with big tides there’s a risk or your boat rolling if it ends up high and dry?
