Tarp Camping in the RAIN with my Dog & Daughter / Australian Desert Camp

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Good to see you using the gunyah shelter mate. You did well fitting all 3 of you under it. And it was nice to see the dog out on a trip with ya. It’s a shame we can’t take dogs many places. I’d love to take banjo out on more trips. Hipcamp property’s are a good idea for a doggo camp. I’ll keep that in mind

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks Scotty. The Gunyah shelter seemed to be the best configuration to fit all of us in there. Yeah Hipcamp can be good, I guess you wanna find one that actually feels a bit wild. I know each to their own, but I'm not a huge fan of a farm camp type place. This was perfect as it was just a big 200 acre bush block backing onto national park .. and I loved taking the dog out.

[@corleyoutdoors2887]

Always good to pass knowledge to your children.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Absolutely!

[@Flutterbyby]

Glad to have stumbled across this channel. Now I don't have to just watch Beau Miles for Australian outdoor adventure storytelling on KZbin. Love all the videos I've watched so far.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Jeeze thanks Judy that's a beaut comment. I love Beau Miles work and his a big inspiration here in Australia.

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely love this scenery bud, such a warm and lovely shots. Simply this video is made with a heart and soul!

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks @ervinslens. Always appreciate it

[@herbsmith6871]

I have 21yr old twins (boy and girl). I absolutely loved taking them on adventures, wether it was hunting, fishing or just road trips. Can't imagine trying to film while keeping them entertain. My daughter and I still go on a yearly spring break adventure. Very nice my friend! Thanks for sharing 🤠

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Great to hear you enjoyed the time when they were kids. Yeah it can get really exhausting trying to film the adventures at time! I'm almost inclined to do a few camps a year where I don't film. Also how wonderful you still do a yearly trip with your daughter! I am hope I'm that lucky with my own kids when they grow up.

[@dherman0001]

I like to hike and fish in the high alpine. No trees. But tarp camping works anywhere and its so flexible. No tent. Doggo is in heaven!

[@Lukeslittletribe]

That's it mate, the high country is fast becoming my favorite place to camp. And love a good trout fish up that way. Yeah bodhi dog had a blast. Thanks for watching

[@dherman0001]

Thanks for posting this! It's very much like Utah and much of the Southwest US, minus the roos. There are huge swaths of public lands where you can wander to your hearts desire and never see another soul. For Mountain fishing, you can do no better than the Wind River Wilderness and the endless high alpine lakes full of ravenous fat golden trout and other species. Not many folks can hack the journey. But the payoff! You know the feeling mate!

[@dherman0001]

Goodness gracious you know how to eat!

[@Lukeslittletribe]

@@dherman0001 Mate that sounds bloody beautiful out that way. I haven't seen much of the US but I hear the landscape is pretty incredible. I love all the old tales of cattlemen and explorers though from the early days of the U.S

[@yiannascloset]

It was lovely, I enjoyed it

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks for watching jenny. Bodhi dog did great

[@jg4634-d2y]

100% part of the watch your vids the whole way through club. Gang gang

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Really appreciate that mate!

[@kickedinbickietin]

Great vid! Keep it up Luke

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks for watching!!

[@garathjacob526]

Nice trip! My kids love your work, every little trip we do they will always bring up something they saw on the channel, either it would be bringing there favourite toy or steeling my AG mug for a hot chocolate

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Garath that is fantastic to hear. Seriously makes me happy to hear other kids getting something out of the videos. Good on you for getting them out there

[@ccgirl1210]

Awesome 🐨🌻🕊️💖

[@RyanWorsman]

Great scenery Luke. Lovely video.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Cheers Ryan. Thanks for watching. Thought it was also time to man up and get rid of the bug net 😂

[@RyanWorsman]

@@Lukeslittletribe Haha nice one mate. It's great that your daughter is comfortable doing exposed camping with you as well. Most people nowadays are very scared to do anything like this. Excellent skill to have to improve your comfort in the natural world.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

@@RyanWorsman haha she doesn't know any better. Basically told her there are no insects cause it's too cold .. come night time there were heaps of ants and milipedes around. But she didn't need to know 🤣 Tarp camping is her favourite type of camping now.

[@6232charlie]

A proper camping trip with your daughter, good on you mate 👍

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks Charlie!

[@marionprovan3938]

Very lovely love your doggy

[@Lukeslittletribe]

He's a good boi. Thanks for watching

[@Blashswanski]

Nice to see Mt. Arapiles in your intro there. I have some fond memories of that country. And a few secret places nearby too.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Yeah I reall should check it out more. Growing up I always headed straight for hiking in the grampians and over looked mt arapiles. I'd love to do more walks out that way though like little desert national park, or murry sunset national park.

[@MonicaVandenberg1]

wow what an amazing well trained dog you have. I think he needs his own lovely mattress :)

[@Lukeslittletribe]

I think he was lucky he got his own blanket and dog coat 😂

[@glenndekker3556]

Great job Luke - love your story telling!! Keep up the great work!!

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks Glenn! Appreciate it.

[@herbevans2727]

Another good one Luke...cool to see you in some different countryside. 👍

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks herb. Yeah beautiful country that way .. has made me consider doing a bigger trip in more outback country later this year. Maybe a traditional swag camp through the murry sunset national park

[@donktec]

Great stuff, admire your commitment to the channel while taking kids and dog - it’s a lot of work, but creating wonderful memories.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate the encouragement.

[@spinbains]

From West Chester, OH - Thanks for sharing your great outdoors, your daughter and, of course, Bodhi Dog!

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks for watching. Good to see people round the world watching

[@stuartrundle5352]

Stumbled across this and im impressed. Thanks mate for the viewing.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks for watching!

[@ronforrestjr2493]

Stumbled upon this video, absolutely loved it. we have a lot of woods and national parks here in the US but Australia really looks amazing. Watched it full, thanks for sharing 👍. Subscribed

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks heaps for subscribing and watching. I appreciate that. It's funny how a land far away can sometimes seem really intriguing though. I've always been interested in some of the big landscapes of the U.S, especially places like alaska from reading Jack London.

[@timchilman]

Looked awesome mate. Didn't realize it was so close to Grampians.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Still a full 2 hour drive away from the grampians though hey. Just cause the grampians are so big and the land so flat, you can see them from ages away. The big mountain you see in the video is mount Arapiles.

[@manandhistarp]

I know the struggle of the tarp set up in the wind 😂. Awesome little trip mate, I reckon the big trips are unreal but I'm also a huge fan of the more intimate camping experience as well. Nice work mate

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Cheers mate, thanks for that. Yeah it was a bit of a struggle getting it up, but super sturdy once all done.

[@stevelewis2444]

Awesome vid mate

[@Andy-tu2to]

Hey Luke, I’m a newly to your channel, been watching some of your older vids and just subscribed. I’ve been getting out a little with my little Caravan but I admire your bushcraft skills and something to learn from you. Please do keep them coming. Cheers.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Hey thanks for watching the vids. Great to hear you've been getting out there in the caravan. Doesn't matter the style you choose to camp outdoors, as long as your out there.

[@andrewbarry5130]

Love to see Australian content. Subbed. You have a stella team there.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Cheers Andrew Barry! Thanks for watching and subscribing .. plenty more content to come.

[@kurts64]

Great video mate, cracking campsite in beaut country. Gotta love mallee scrub. I like your thoughts in the outro too👍👍🇦🇺 Just subbed, i thought i had before!

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks Kurt. Yeah this was country in the Wimmera but kind of bordering Mallee scrub ... so it was still a lot more lush. I would love to do a trip further north in more outback mallee scrub country. Thanks for watching and subbing.

[@youmeandtheGSDs]

Great trip Luke. We’re booked at the same property in a few weeks, so was great to check it out from your vid :)

[@Lukeslittletribe]

That's great to hear! Was a really nice spot with plenty to choose from. That reminds me I should put a link in the description to the location

[@andrewporter7850]

Awesome videos I stumbled across you from Scotty Gone Walkabout. Been out of action for a few months with a busted shoulder and will be for a few more, seeing your videos has made me pumped to start planning our own adventures for when I am fit and firing 👍👍👍

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Cheers mate, sucks to hear about the shoulder and having an injury that keeps you out of action, hopefully you'll be back into it soon enough. Thanks for watching as well, and yeah Scotty is a bloody legend.

[@AaronGrayOutdoors]

Hey Luke, recently came across your channel. Great video, fantastic to see you out with your daughter and dog. Keep up the good stuff.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Cheers mate thanks for watching. Just had a look at your channel as well and subbed. Some of your hikes look epic.

[@conellisgreatadventure8864]

Wow stumbled across your channel. Good work.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Awesome mate, thanks for wathing the vid.

[@jameslewry2950]

G'day mate, live your dream mate, good on ya. Hooroo se ya later.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks heaps mate.

[@chrislonsberry1974]

I just came across you and really enjoyed your video. Emma is adorable! And, being a dog person, love your dog! I will have to go back and watch your other videos. Funny you should mention Outdoor Boys. I follow them as well.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah Ema has a whole heap of character haha she is certainly our outgoing child. And Bodhi is a great dog (though he rarely can keep still haha)

[@dherman0001]

How much does steak cost there at the supermarket? Here it's from 7$ a pound to $20 for Ribeyes and T bones, just depending on the grade. People in the country will go 50/50 with a neighbor or relative on a cow to butcher and put it in the freezer, saves about half or more cost.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Depends what kind of steak you get. These two were about $12 Australian, so that might be like $8 USD ... but they sure weren't no Ribeye haha. Aussies really love their steak and it's pretty available. But like most things, prices are going up.

[@dherman0001]

I watched some more of your videos. Good stuff! Id love to see what wildlife is moving about at night. Do you ever set up trail cams when you camp?

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Awesome mate thanks. Yeah I just got given a free trail cam so I'd like to do a video with that

[@belindacarinaboco6410]

Just found your channel.

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Awesome. Thanks for watching
