Alone On A SAND CAY - Solo Camping Catch And Cook

Great to be out in the wild again and having solo camping adventures out on the ocean. I have wanted to camp on this uninhabited island for a long time, it didn't disappoint but it wasn't easy😅 Catch and cook fish and a night under the stars. So good🤙

Rod it is so good seeing you with almost 500k subscribers. I still think you should have well over a Million. Been watching your Videos religiously since about 40k. The people don’t know what they are missing. Ty for the years of enjoyment for all of your viewers. Please know that we appreciate you more than you know. Your the best by far. Cheers from the USA.

John he's been my favorite for years too! I like the solo trips the most.

[@ElkinsEric]

Agreed! I miss some of the yak stuff sometimes…

I love your videos man.

So good to see a solo camping vid on the channel again! Keep them coming Rod 👌🏼

[@nonconsensualopinion]

Yeah, this format is what initially caught my attention and keeps me coming back. I hope he does all the types of videos that make him happy, but I also hope he throws these in the mix from time to time. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[@alexabyronfujino8320]

Seeing you struggle is so relatable. It's making me realise that mishaps and frustrating things happen to everyone and that it's not because there is something wrong with me.

[@Drainoed]

The transitions between the drone and the diving were awesome filmwork!!! I love seeing my favorite KZbinrs progress and get better and better at their craft. This is a perfect example. Rod, you’re such an awesome guy. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us.

[@rinrat6754]

I love that the single fish makes the whole day a victory. Absolutely all about quality.

[@chewiepac5932]

Hello from Alaska, I gotta admit bud I love your tinny that thing is a awesome fish expedition machine. Great job building it, I've loved seeing you turn it into this lil masterpiece 👏 ❤

[@ICTBKco]

I really appreciate how you tell yourself shite. 'Use the back of the knife rod' 'keep it clean rod'haha very relatable

[@thepete25]

Rod, stop worrying about making an extravagant meal, nothing better then a simple fry up where you are, fresh from the fridge 😋, looks absolutely amazing 🤤

[@robcooper3171]

Put a bimini top on the boat and have a false floor piece made for the bow of the boat to make the platform bigger for when you camp. Just be sure to take that piece with you.

[@Jansen33]

Your island survival videos are so entertaining. They’re rich with content with great narration.

[@KoenZuid]

Great video ones again! I do agree that a tent adds up to the whole feeling! On the boat is great for some trips but I really like the tent vibe! It makes the video complete for me

[@rokkitkit]

Yea I’ll have to pick the spots for tent and space them out… as you will see in part 2😅

[@AJ-hz6sh]

@@rokkitkit can you just post part 2 now? Woke up this morning hoping it landed overnight.

I forget just watching these videos how cool life is the beauty the planet holds for one to discover. Many thanks for the upload. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@pootmahgoots8482]

Good to see you upload, Rod. :) Your new boat looks like it's really been a game changer. You deserve it, man. :)

[@flysubcompact]

I'm bad jealous of that little rig. It looks perfect for his ramblings. Even has room for his little family and gear.

[@pootmahgoots8482]

@@flysubcompact yeah man I was just thinking of a way I'd set up a tent in it with a cot.

[@alwayslovecpp4502]

Glad to see the camping videos back 😁

[@simonlewis7956]

I didn’t see any plastic on the cay. That is really special about many Aussie places. We certainly should not take this for granted.

[@rokkitkit]

Yea even the Australian islands have there share of plastic unfortunately

[@normannisbet1213]

Rod, I’m enjoying your videos 10x more than searching for a film or series on HBO or Netflix, Disney, Amazon etc. Your videos are engaging, personal, practical, educational and very personal too. As well as giving me the ‘escapism’ that I long for as a South African living in Scandifkknavia 😅 Keep it up, bro. And THANKS A MILL!! 👊🏻🤟🏻

[@captainscottlum2371]

Many years ago when I used to camp in the Florida Keys, at night we would put two anchors in opposite directions with plenty of scope, that way if the wind changed the skiff would be fine.

[@themusclebus]

What a way to start a weekend!

[@theowenssailingdiary5239]

I use my hiking tarp for camping on the boat -couple of poles and a bit of thought. I use the same tarp for hunting in the high country. A ground sheet also of course. Plenty of ventilation and dozens of possibilities for a couple of hundred bucks. Kills several birds.

[@Malthazare]

Man just watching how much you've progressed with your equipment, your filming, and your boats over the past few years has been incredible. My girl and I love watching your videos. The editing seems to just keep getting better and better, keep it up rod! :D

[@Here4ucantbe]

I have missed this so much! You are simply amazing. What a beautiful choice of scenery you have on all your vlogs, but your underwater videos are freaking awesome!!! XOXO

[@Bodsynffc]

Rod, you are a true inspiration to others. Your engagement with us viewers is 2nd to none. You always say "we" as in you and us the viewers, its very difficult to actually believe you are on your own. Absolutely outstanding. As well as your filming!! Cannot fault it. Well Done Brother.

[@Doc_Fischer]

When you have issues with zippers , use a actual zipper lubricant for maintenance, but if you have to , dribble some cooking oil on it and the zipper body itself .

[@archiebrown5298]

I like the frying pan modification! The frying pan handle normally creates so much "Dead space" when one tries to pack up for a trip. That one of yours is perfect

[@dlmsarge8329]

Absolutely! It looks purpose built for camping efficiency! My ADHD kept screaming for Rod to get a full sized pan for these trips despite him being 10 x the outdoorsman I am ! Hahaha

[@joeyboertlein6272]

This intro is one of my favorites! i think this is gonna be a favorite video for me just for that!

[@redders188]

Incredible footage and shots! Great video as always mate

[@Captn_Mike]

Camping vids are my favs, great to see a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dylanwilliams3807]

For zippers on tents and backpacks etc used regularly around salt, spraying a bit of wd40 or something like it on them every couple trips helps stop them from jamming up and corroding. Good for freeing up stuck ones too.

[@doraexplora9046]

Just buy tents with big plastic zippers. Who's got the time to maintain stuff nowadays?

[@SILSKY]

Another fantastic video! I can't get enough of content like this!

[@lukasverner1246]

that small island is exactly what I imagine if I was beeing shipwrecked (or if I bought my own island), it°s really nice... just plant some tree and it would be like your own small planet...nice video

[@flysubcompact]

Next pass by, transplant more natuve flora to your little island. A shrubby tree species or three. You might not enjoy their shade, but your kids may one day.

[@maxfish4770]

👍👍

[@johnsykes706]

That Trout was the ocean giving you some love mate, lost a Stripey that you would have been quite happy with and was bummed about it getting away and then next minute you stoned a nice Trout.

Epic to see a new island vid! Been missing these camp catch and cooks. Not gonna lie, I'm stoked to see you rocking a long sleeve. Sun protection is a must and should be promoted more.

Great vid Rod, love your island camping episodes…That Corral Trout looked so good, I’ve never tried,..have to add that to my bucket list. Looking forward to day 2, Cheers! 🇨🇦

[@Longashe]

I can't get over how good that fish looked. Fresh from the sea. Darn tootin'.

[@erikbertaud8327]

You are killin' it Rod! That coral trout was a beauty. I love the versatility of your adventures. Fishing, foraging from the ocean, spearing, foraging regional vegetation ( the prickly pears video was killer), how to facilitate water using litter while cleaning up the beach. You're a rockstar Dude!!! As much as I love the new rig (I mean... ridiculous!!!) I can't wait to see more with Misty also! Keep the vids coming Brother. I love 'em'!!!

[@orinidas2433]

My anxiety goes through the roof every time you jump, dive, or otherwise just swim in the ocean. Ooof! I keep waiting for you to turn and see giant Jaws teeth coming at you.

[@KM00Youtube]

It has been a bit since we have seen you. The sand cay looks cool and the water so inviting! Was a bit nervous about where you stashed the fish while you put up the tent - lol - thought you would return to the birds trying to lift it off and away! 😂 So nice to see you out and about, looking forward to more videos. Know that we enjoy them all and appreciate you sharing. 🥰😎

Ooo the intro! Been a while since you did one of these. Reminds me of some of the early days kayak vids - busting through surf to some great music!

[@matthewwagner47]

The Coral trout looks really good.

[@banko1813]

Great vid as always Rod, when filleting your fish half fillet one side then turn the fish over and fully fillet the other side, makes filleting much easier 😀 👍

[@spurlock2679]

Beautiful Cinematography, Hope your family and you have been enjoying the warm weather!

[@marchofstetter8313]

I read about 2 surfers dropped off near Australia on a deserted island. At night the sea snakes came up to share the island.

[@christow7989]

Just found this channel. Love this type of videos. This is one of my favorite ways to have an adventure. Solo survival. I'm not much of a cook. But I like to make desal stations and things like that.

[@InsideTraderNancy]

I'm so stoked for this video!!

[@doraexplora9046]

Welcome Rod to boat ownership of a boat that you can't just drag onto a beach! LOL. I've had boats like your new one and in big tides, you have to rig up a pulley system whereby you can pull the boat in or out depending on the tide. It requires a rear anchor, and two swivel, and two pulleys that can withstand a lot of abuse from waves and tides. You put the front anchor on the beach and just pull the boat in or out as required. P.S. It's spelt "'CAYE"'

[@jayhopkins1337]

Nice!! What a feast

[@BurlyGustOfAir]

Some Italian breadcrumb and lemon pepper would do that trout some justice.

[@MikeInTheWoods]

Hahah I think I picked up that exact same butane stove recently. Good little stove for one!

[@briccioalesna]

YES, another episode of solo camping

[@snozzlehead92]

0:58 Epic mullet shot!

[@rokkitkit]

Haha, it’s actually even worse it’s an undercut😅 maybe I’ll turn it into a mullet soon

[@nighthawk0077]

So thats where the Sun has gone! Another cool adventure.

[@charlottejet4338]

I always look forward to seeing your videos.

[@Arnoldz07]

You have way too much faith in technology Rod... I don't think spotlock was intended to replace an anchor. Only knowing I'm watching the video puts me at ease a little.

[@rokkitkit]

Yea fair call I guess, I did give the spot lock a good run this trip when diving fairly close to the boat and not being able to put an anchor down on the coral. It didn’t let me down but I’ll be aware of it for sure👍

[@owaldock]

Yeah ditto stressed me out too. Not sure I would putting that much faith in spot lock!?!?

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

Better than dropping an anchor in among the coral reef tho.

[@doraexplora9046]

To be fair to Rod. It's kind of illegal, or at least, not PC to anchor on the reef. The reef is in poor enough condition in the first place. So Rod is doing the right thing. If the tech doesn't hold up, that's another issues for Rod to solve.

[@budboggess5575]

So its whole new challenges!!..you used to put wheels down on the boat...and drag it up !!..it's a conundrum buddy!!...bigger, better boat!..no dragging..it's a whole new world you must figure out as we watch!!…Stay Safe!!!! We love you my Friend!!!

[@MrKveite1]

Hmmm, green is the colour that collects most heat from the sun of all the colours we have so that might not be optimal for a tent on a little sandbank like that.

[@brethawkins9119]

Another awesome video!! Love how you switch things up and how much information you always give. I always learn something useful. Look forward to doing those things soon. Keep it up if you can and still enjoy it.

[@jeffreyalberson9742]

You need a little Bimini top, you can put up for shade in the back of the boat. Keep the front open for fishing.

[@Rick-xt2cz]

Another genuine, legit, fish adventure where being not-so-perfect is perfection; adapting to any conditions whilst keeping positive infectious vibes......

[@mikel3188]

Wow! what an awesome video and greetings from snowy Colorado, you made my day Rod.

[@doraexplora9046]

Colorado? I hate to think how freezing cold it is there right now. Rod is in QLD and I'm in NSW. Still on the east coast and I know exactly where he is and how beautiful a place he lives in. The water is as warm as bath water, crisp and clear. The salt in the water cleans you from head to toe. You can go a month without a shower easily. With just an occasional dip in freshwater for the feel.
