SOLO CAMPING - Mangrove and Beach Fishing For Food - Catch And Cook

A classic solo camping Adventure! Fishing the mangroves and beach for food, the bugs made it tough and the bite was...small😅 but the open camp fire and extra delicious catch and cook in the end made it a memorable trip.

Don't know if you realise that these videos are the adventures we all crave and you bring them to us consistently.. thankyou 😊

[@jleach4278]

Very well said sir.

[@shawnfarrell9772]

I go out every weekend. All you gotta do is go get it. Adventure is calling. Or sit back and watch others Adventures, I do because it helps me in what I'm doing sometimes. He definitely adds to what I'm going to do sometimes. Better to be well informed then uninformed... To each there own

The word "hoochie" makes me laugh more than it should lol. I've said this before, but as someone who suffers with insomnia, these videos send me into the most peaceful sleep. And I mean that in the most positive way. My mind just drifts away to a better place. No fake shouting for the camera like a lot of creators. No over-the-top dramatic music to create suspense. Just a guy with a kind demeanor, on an island by himself, talking to the camera. I don't even know at what point I fell asleep, but I woke up in the morning with the video completed lol. Don't worry, I always go back and watch them when I'm awake. Thank you from Los Angeles Rod.

[@benjaminbogard4744]

Same here, I can never watch a full video in one go. It usually takes me 2-3 attempts

[@benjaminbogard4744]

I love his intros, straight into the content. No goofy intros of saying “hey guys welcome back to my channel” etc.

[@lashallure4634]

I’m with u😂😂 😂

[@TheSebtrain]

I do exactly the same. The peaceful nature of the vids never fail to send me off. Then finish watching in the morning ❤

Hey Rod, I recently quit my corporate job to pursue what I really want to do. Its been hard keeping motivated , but your videos always give me boost! Thanks man, cheers from California.

Best of luck to you! I’m in the same boat 😅

[@keeperofthegood]

Metal skewers have a function different than wood ones. Metal conducts heat. You find wood used for soft meats and fruit/veg where internal heat isn't needed and metal for raw red meat cooking. If you use metal with foods that are soft like fish, you may want to adjust your cooking heat/time to account for the heat transmitted internally by the skewer. Yes, soaking wood skewers for a good hour+ helps with the burning, raising them up from the coals and ensuring a no-flame in the coal bed are also key elements. To the rest, well done and thank you for an enjoyable outing adventure :)

[@rokkitkit]

Some good info, will definitely adjust if I get some for sure👍

[@CopelandSSB]

Right when I needed him most, Rodney hits us with an hour. Lets go!

[@JudeScott007]

Thanks for your kindness for these fish! A small thing that shows a lot about your character!

[@kevinomalley1521]

One of your best cooks for a while. Had to grind hard for it. Didn't seem promising when filleting, but made into a pretty epic, but simple meal. Great stuff.

[@JohnJones-ng2uh]

Good on you for calling the wood you found in the beginning a gift

[@anglingnoobau126]

This just makes the weekend much more awesome than it already is! Thanks Rokkit 👏🏼🙏🏼🔥

Camping, boating, fishing, and mining for yabbys. This adventure has it all.

[@jm7929]

I wonder how many people have offered to pay you to take them on an excursion, just awesome man, thank you.

[@davidgerard761]

I was looking for this video for the longest time. The part at 54 minutes where you talk about humans becoming part of the food chain resonated with me for whatever reason, the lackadaisical regard for just the way it is when doing dangerous things I completely understand. Sometimes ill kayak out miles and stay on an island for a few hours and whatever happens happens, i feel peace and understand im completely in tune with nature and vulnerable. Thanks for the great videos as always

[@Chrixsify]

Those drone shots are really amazing Rod!

[@drewdorsey3694]

it seems his setup includes a insta360 camera that he attached to a long pole to give the drone look. not sure if thats it, but just what I noticed and it is such a sick shot!

[@aaronm8694]

You could take a little juice box packet of coconut milk next time you do a ceviche style meal. The polynesians call it Kokoda (Sounds like KohkohnDah) and its any fish/shell fish, lime juice, coconut milk, chilli, little bit of dice tomato and onion and the herbs you love. Mix it up an serve it in a half coconut shell for that thumbnal glory!

[@bel5317]

im just glad you still upload such videos. man, i guess the dedication and commitment is just top notch. keep uploading dude dont get discourage. do whatever makes you happy. Man will always be happy with them islands.

[@kjewell91]

I love that he’s got the new gear and boat and all. But he’s doing the same ol with the new gear. Footage, I can’t say a single bad thing. Your attention to detail is UNMATCHED. I know you have a family. A lot of us are looking for the survival C,C&C. You’ve got some great gear. Maybe a solo 7 day? I know even that might be a bit much but if planning could take affect and you could give us a great 4-5 part series over a week adventure!, I mean, it’d be wonderful. Anyways, enough of my computer chair editing. I, aside from all of that, still love you, your family and your content dearly. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve provided thus far, brother! Thank you!!

[@trabyelxab8199]

Somebody might come back for their measuring board too, maybe it's the same person who lost the hat 😂🎣🐟

[@selfretired3025]

Tajin lime seasoning is excellent on veggies, fish, & pasta as well. Metal skewers are sturdy & reusable... but have a thin silicone glove or pad to pick them up with - they get hot!!

[@PumpkinJack31]

Great video! Thanks. Not every outing can be a high yield adventure. That's part of what makes the content so satisfying.

I wish! Taku takes it to a whole new level👌🤤

[@salo7227]

For all the international viewers, the humble flathead is extremely common all over Australia, but it could be argued that it is almost our best tasting fish. It's commonness makes it easy to dismiss. But a fresh 50 to 60 cm flatty, cooked simply, is glorious.

[@raynman6466]

I wouldn't say "extremely" common haha, I fish in south aus and have a hard time catching even an undersized flatty 😂

[@cakesnipher7024]

I have to agree with Rusco Peeko, with all the crap going on all over the world, your videos are a much needed treasure! We can escape the madness and follow you into beautiful scenery, where we wish and hope for your catch and finish up with a dinner that I can usually almost taste. Who could ask for more. Great job as always Rod XOXOX

[@PsyTechnical]

Lemon Eucalyptus for the bugs! Have to reapply as often as Deet but I have found it to be effective.

[@SD-ft6gs]

not sure if these products are available in Australia but they have been in the EU for a long time and in the US more recently, but on all my outdoor clothing I apply "Permethrin", and instead of bug spray I have found that "Picaridin" based lotions work best. for fishing/sweating etc... (both of these are in some ways similar to bear spray type products that come from black pepper plant chemicals.) For base camp I end up using Natural "Pyrethrin" Concentrate (the product in those expensive butane burner incense dispensers for camping... Termacell)... not sure if any of these would work with midges as they don't really work with black flies here. but they do work with mosquitos and noseeums... More unsolicited advice from your viewers yay!

[@dabonemarrow5337]

You should keep some thread or that flex string to tie those baits on they last longer!! Great job!! Godspeed brother

[@elkayakfish]

Another authentic video. Keep up the good work. Your a great creator and seem like an all round good guy.

[@baytown213]

Great trip Rod! I wonder if the first flattie was actually closer because the tape didn’t start at 0, or at least it looked like the hash mark for zero wasn’t where the edge was. You probably would not have kept him if he was that close anyways haha. I respect how you only catch and take what you need and release the rest.

[@julien1]

mark the bottom of your boat in inches or cm etc ... the bugs hate acidic skin that's why they don't care about salt water. (lemon juice any thing like that lemony vinegar whatever just acidic oil is best so lemon oil etc. oil however exacerbates sub burn to those that suffer from it.) That food looked so damn good I'm almost crying.

[@georgedrager-bluewaterdreamer]

Nice adventure in a beautiful river system. I’m always relaxed afterwards

[@bostonp4162]

Don’t know if I’m the only one. In the first day. Those fish were legal. The zero on the diy brag mat wasn’t at the plastic but it was further back

Rod, I have watched since your beginnings. I loved the truly down to earth lifestyle most people exist in. Now with new boats, ranger rovers to pull new boats around is great, but you need to get back too old times that made you at what you are.
