[@agwils2011]

Mate ... this is buy far my favourite type of videos, no thumping music, no carry on, not another build serious. These type of vids I feel like I am right there with you, having a cold one, listening to the sounds of the bush. Keep making these vids mate. 👍👍

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Gday mate, Thanks very much for your reply and feedback. It was filmed in a top spot. Thanks again and more if this style video content is coming. Cheers Tim

[@Peter-ml1is]

Got me stuffed why, but cooking a GOOD meal in the bush is one of the most enjoyable experiences possible. You see all the camping things with 'make things easy', but no, the effort is worth it and to do it all on your own with only the sounds of birds and a stream and the crackle of the fire is truly 'sensational'!

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Gday Peter, Simple cooking gear can make the best campfire meals. The serenity was amazing. Thanks heaps for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim.

[@darrenc4096]

G'day David, Thanks heaps mate, i greatly appreciate your feedback. For a solo camera man, it does take a lot of work to get the shots. But the effort is well worth it. Yeah mate, dimmys on the campfire are bloody unreal. Lol I'll get on those again for sure. Thanks mate for your reply. Cheers Tim.

[@BillSaltbush]

Good stuff Timmy, you're doing it very well. One wouldn't call the king your uncle, so to speak. Now, gonna get on your case again . . . that, or track you down somewhere and put you straight. You are a right hander Timmy. Your dominant side is your right side - it's where all your fine motor skills, touch and strength are. For that, you cast with your right hand, hold the rod in your right hand and fight any fish with your right hand too. Winding, is merely a mechanical thing where none of those fine motor skills are needed - it's done with your left hand. What you are doing is like putting the bacon on top of the eggs in your sandwich - it's all cack-handed. 😂😉 Can you change the handle of that reel to the other side? It'll make things much easier for you if you can. For everything else, you are coming along very nicely young man, well done . . ha ha! 😃 😃 😃

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Bill, On the fishing topic. Ive not done a lot of fishing over the past 57 years. But, i ve always had my fishing rods set up how it is now. It's comfortable for me, i appreciate your feedback. But, think i'll stay with the current setup. Thanks mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim.

Looks nice there -47 here in saskatchewan Canada

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Trevor, Hahah It's a bit warmer here mate. You can have that -47 Lol Canada would be an amazing place to check out though. The mountains and river systems, would be stunning. Thanks mate for your reply. Cheers Tim.

I must say Batesy, the first 7 minutes of listening to the sounds of nature, and watching a bloke go about his business was gr8 editing. Really enjoyed the whole video. Tell me Batesy, what’s behind laying the sauces and oil down on the table, is that a habit or simply so they don’t fall down on a rocky camp table? Going up the Murray next month, I think I might take some dimy’s and give them a go cooking on the river red gum. Loving the content, keep it going. Cheers

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Shayne, Yeah it was so relaxing setting up camp with just the surrounding noises going on. Very relaxing time while setting up camp. Yeah, i lay them down so they don't roll off the end of the table. Bit uneven the ground, so lay them down and they cant go anywhere. You have a great trip up on the Murray. Great time of year for being beside the Murray River. Give those dimmy's a red hot go. They are unreal. Lol Thanks for your reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.

That's when I know I feel that I'm the luckiest bloke . Living the dream .... Just a pity I haven't got a4x4. JeF from ViC

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Jef, Thats it mate, it's so relaxing just kicking back with a bit of simple life and really enjoy the surrounds of where you are. Few cold ones and a top meal cooking on the campfire, is pretty much as good as it gets. Thanks mate, im glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Tim.

You let nature tell the story. Great video 👍 love the cooking. 🧑‍🍳

[@timbates4wdadventures]

I loved the serenity, the great camp spot, the 'spectacular' cooking and your awning extension. Great content once again and I can't wait to see the next adventure.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day mate, It's a simple setup. But it all works really well. The extension sheet is great for that extra room to put the swag out in. Thanks mate for your reply. Cheers Tim.

[@dekaOsiris]

Another fantastic video Tim, thanks again, I know this would take a lot of hard work to put together.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Thanks mate. Yes a lot of work goes into filming these videos. I film and edit all of my videos myself. Great fun making them. Thanks heaps mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim.

Magnificent!

Thanks mate. Cheers Tim.

[@leeobe]

I agree with your comment Matt I thought you'd like this after what you said in your recent Q&A vid - "the bush is talking to you, take time to listen to it". Well done Tim. Cheers Lee

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@leeobe thanks mate. The sounds that come from the bush are well worth tuning into sometimes. Thanks mate for your reply. Cheers Tim.

[@westralianoffroad]

@@leeobe absolutely Lee! As you’ve noticed I’m a big fan of Tim for obvious reasons. People do need to turn down the music and tune into the bush, it speaks to us if we listen and it’s just lovely. I love Tim’s appreciation of this too. Another reason why solo camping can be so enriching.

[@arthurplottier9783]

A a fantastic spot!! Thanks for sharing.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Thanks mate. It sure is a great spot. Cheers Tim.

[@LockyourHubs4WDing]

So much ASMR!

[@MrTDGU]

ASMR???

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Not sure what that is mate. Cheers Tim.

[@LockyourHubs4WDing]

@@timbates4wdadventures It's autonomous sensory meridian response. It's a whole genre on KZbin! It could be anything like watching a person going about usually mundane tasks, like food preparation, or even a video of just a campfire burning for an hour or so. It's supposed to induce a low state euphoria and tingling on the skin. I don't think it's big in the 4WD genre! lol

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@LockyourHubs4WDing ahh righto mate. First time I’ve heard of it.

Hey Tim, thanks for not using all the firewood you collected. I camped at the same spot Wed/Thurs last week and used some but still left quite a bit for the next campers 👍 Left as the rain started Friday morning Cheers

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Ahh righto mate. Handy rolling into camp and finding some ready made wood for the campfire. Glad you could use it mate. Such a great spot. Cheers Tim.
