Really enjoyed this Scotty. My best memories are camping with my dad. He's 86 now and we still sit and talk abt our memories. I'm just like him, love the outdoors and camping in nature.

You honor all Fathers by honoring your Father and sharing it with us. I never had a son. But from a previous relationship that failed I was a Father to two teenage boys. They never had a Father in their life. We still have a good relationship even though their Mother and I haven’t been together for years. I am blessed. Enjoy every moment with your Dad. A sacred bond. 🙏

[@centaurusalpha4248]

So nice to meet your dad! what a lovely man, awesome that you took him out, definitely do it again. I recognised the PNG flag on his beanie right away - I visited Papua on my own 5 decades ago, but it had a huge impact on me. It says a lot about your dad that he is into that stunning country and its amazing people. I have never seen such huge and old casuarina trees before; you're right, it's like a fairyland, or a Tolkien story. Thanks once more for taking us with you.

My dad is I’ll with cancer and has lost a lot of his mobility. He will be 70 in a few years. I would give anything to be able to do the things we used to do. Time passes and we adapt and I’m grateful he’s still here. Lots of people here have lost their dad. Just a word of advice that can apply to everyone. Make the best of each day while you have the chance. Time will take that chance away from us all. Some earlier than others. Spend time with those you love and cherish those memories. In the end, it’s all you will have left. A memory to look back and smile about. Ps…. That was one of the most beautiful spots I have ever seen

[@intricacy9490]

A very special experience...well done. I could easily be your Dad's twin due to having the same age, hair and homeless look. I can relate to him being confused...one of the bastards about getting older... simple things can confront you. However, one thing....when it happens don't say ...oh, its easy (otherwise, you won't be having an issue)...instead say... I can understand the problem....let's see what we can do. You can see it bothered him, tho of course you just have to laugh it off. My Dad, now 97, also introduced me to camping. A few years ago I took him camping along the Darling. He loved it, especially the stars at night. He hadn't been camping for about 50 yrs.

[@matthewvelo]

I wish that I could have done this with my Dad. He was ex-Australian army and refused to go camping when we were kids, and now is to frail to man-pack an overnight load. Great to see you and your Dad having a good time in the outback.

Settle down mate, leave him alone. You can't compliment the bloke and have a dig at him about something clearly unintended and inoccuous all in the same paragraph. I'm sure they, as we all are are aware of the homelessness problem and have empathy for those sleeping rough. If you are currently, or have recently been homeless I get it, otherwise just don't try to educate the bloke, it's condescending.

Hi Scotty. It's great to see you taking your Dad out for a wild camp and what a beautiful spot. My Dad's turning 80 this year and we go for a day hike once a week and I've also gone overnight backpacking with him in Kanangra Boyd NP (wild camping on a ridge because we got lost) and Bouddi NP (Little Beach). Dad wants me and my brother to go with him on the Six Foot Track later this year for his 80th. Regarding the Nemo Tensor Sleeping mat deflating. For your next sleeping mat try the Sea to Summit Etherlight XT Extreme. It's the most comfortable sleep while camping ever.
