testing the new tinny camping setup

[@Campingdownunder]

Congratulations to destination offroad on winning the Alton goods giveaway. Enjoy your prize mate 👍🎉🍻

The tough times will make you stronger. Your children will understand and see the true, honest and loving father you are. Keep focused on your mental health and having your children in your life. Nothing wrong with driving an old truck and not keeping up with the Jones on KZbin. Being genuine and honest are true values. Keep up the good fight and you are stronger for talking about things. I run trips with my mates and it's an understanding that the fireplace is where we can talk freely and honestly. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Paul exciting times Perth working with Dash the BIG WHEEL always turns.👍🌟🌟

[@Campingdownunder]

I'm really looking forward to the opportunity 😀

[@penelopemcnulty61]

This was an excellent episode, very clear and easy to follow. I have learnt about snakebites in very many first aid courses over many decades, things have changed so much over the years. Thank you!

[@Campingdownunder]

For some reason it's showing this comment is on my solo boat camping trip. It could just be KZbin messing up. But could you please just double check you've commented on the snake bite video so your in the draw for a snake bite kit 👍

[@penelopemcnulty61]

@@Campingdownunder sure!

[@penelopemcnulty61]

@@Campingdownunder I’ve just reposted something similar for you (you tube wouldn’t let me copy and paste 😠); my original post was definitely in the snake bite video, but you tube was playing up possibly because I had cast the video to my tv and posting a reply on my iPad; multitasking must not be on the menu for you tube!

[@Campingdownunder]

Haha all good mate. We got there in the end 🤣👍

[@lastknownlocation8760]

Hey Paul. Enjoying! thanks! Try resting your foot close to the tinder, and rest your knife on your foot very close to the tinder. Shave some of the ferocium rod by pulling slowly towards you under the knife until you get some of the shavings in the tinder. Then pull the rod quickly without moving your foot or the knife. Then you won’t knock the tinder with the knife. The way you’re doing it now is like flicking matches from a distance.

[@Campingdownunder]

Thanks mate yeah I have watched around 10 videos learning how to do it. Bit hard to do it when I was trying to lean over hot coals to light it. I also didn't like the rope on it. It's too short. I prefer to use my knife instead

[@OutdoorAcademyAustralia]

Get yourself the under quilt for the hammock set up mate. Won't know yourself. All the cold comes from underneath you. If you want a budget fix, put a foam pad in the hammock. Good video mate.

[@Campingdownunder]

I want to eventually get the Alton under quilt but it's $359. Definitely not cheap lol. The mattress my partner used in the next video was insulated. She used that in the hammock and she was quite warm & comfortable

[@OutdoorAcademyAustralia]

@@Campingdownunder TBH I would've tied the swag onto the bow lol.

[@Campingdownunder]

The whole reason I purchased the lightweight camping gear was because the little 10hp motor just doesn't have the power to get up onto the plane with the swag in it. It's just too heavy unfortunately. I already had all the weight right up the front and it just got up with just me in there. As soon as my partner came along it would no longer get up. Even with her sitting right at the front

[@Tes-mg9il]

You're very handy! I wish I could adventure with my kids as much as you get out. 😊

[@DestinationOffroad]

Awesome video Paul, I love this type of filming. Thankyou for showing us your adventure.

[@Campingdownunder]

You'll have to come down this way someday mate 👍

[@DestinationOffroad]

@@Campingdownunder I would love that.

[@Pumped-koala]

Looks good paul. Try a little trick with your egg plant. When you slice it up soak them in some water with a pinch of salt. Within 5 to 10 minutes the water 0:02 will look like the murray witch the bitterness has been removed. Pat dry then cook. They taste amazing. Looking forward to your next video. 👍

[@Campingdownunder]

Thanks for the tip mate 👍 I actually don't mind the taste of them. I quite often add some garlic butter to the veggies which is nice 👌

[@Campingdownunder]

Also there's a livestream this Friday for patreons only if you'd like to join in 👍

[@Pumped-koala]

No worries paul. What time on Friday as I’m getting the camper ready for a 7 day solo leaving Saturday morning for wallaby rocks on the Turon river sofala near Bathurst. Sus it on the tube I might try to make a video. I’ll see how I go.

[@Campingdownunder]

Starting around 7:30 south Australia time. It won't go for too long. Just a chance for us all to have a chat about absolutely anything over a few 🍻

[@lorraineperry8232]

Hey Paul, great video, I love camping with a bloody good campfire and theres nothing like a meal cooked on one... love your cottonball/vaseline firestarters...thanks for showing us that trick.....my son Trev has made some amazing aerial videos with the Mavic drone he bought off you.....happy camping and stay safe matey :)

[@Campingdownunder]

Thank you I plan on making lots more of these videos. Glad he's getting good use out of the drone. It was a fantastic drone 👍

[@davidmilledge221]

Beautiful spot reminds me off Hog Wash Sand Bar 👌 put a bigger carby or bigger jets in it should give ya around 15 to 18 hp , great set up ya got there mate 👍

[@Campingdownunder]

I'm actually surprised for a little 10hp motor it still does around 37km. I'll upgrade the motor one day when I can afford it 🤣

[@davidmilledge221]

Some times the bigger hp motors are the same size as the lesser hp ones it's just different carby sizes or just jets they put on them its a cheaper way to get more hp 4 the moment tho 🤔

[@Campingdownunder]

Cheers mate 👍

[@AlysonLewis]

I'm sure you have by now but try an underquilt on your hammock, they make all the difference to your warmth in a hammock. 😊 Love seeing another hammock camper out there!

[@davemarsh1115]

Mate The best thing you can do is what your doing Talking about your life’s problems is the first step I know where your coming from, have been through the same sort of stuff So keep your chin up, am always happy to chat with you about shit

[@Campingdownunder]

Thanks mate I appreciate it 👍

[@NasTimeAdventures]

That looks like an awesome hammock. My one looks a little cheap and nasty in comparsion.

[@Campingdownunder]

Feel free to enter the draw 👍 the $100 voucher will cover a brand new hammock

[@benjacka7210]

Loved the video Paul, to be honest I’ve never even thought of camping in a hammock. Cheers 🍻

[@Campingdownunder]

Thanks mate 👍 it's definitely a unique experience 🤣

[@charityrocks]

Oh wow! ❤ it is so beautiful there! I am from Canada 🇨🇦

[@charityrocks]

I sure wish I could come and hang out with you! 😊I’m in love with that beach.

[@simonmiles4727]

Top vid mate Vicariously living through your adventures

[@Campingdownunder]

Not long & I'll be back out there again 😀

[@mickwatson2177]

Awesome video mate. Love seeing different equipment that's available. Cheers mate 👍 🐕 🤠

[@Campingdownunder]

Setup is going to continue to getting lighter and lighter so I can start hiking and camping. I want to do a lot more variety of camping

[@AmyOutdoors]

Mate, that must've been a bloody cold night in the hammock! I need to take you out for a weekend and give you some tips on using all that lovely hiking gear 😉 Until you can save up enough to get yourself a fancy underquilt for the hammock...might be worth buying a cheap single polyester quilt from Big W (polyester is always best for outside as it stays warm when it's wet!), sew a loop on each corner, get a couple of caribeeners and rig it up loosely under your hammock so that when you're sleeping in it theres a very small air pocket between the hammock and the quilt hanging under it, with the sides of the underquilt pulled up around the hammock... you'll be SO much warmer! ... or get a tent 😜. To be honest, I won't sleep in a hammock under gums as I'm always worried about death-by-tree from falling gumtree limbs. Great for lounging in though. Loving watching your journey into new ways of camping. Cheers 👍

[@Campingdownunder]

I didn't get much sleep at all 🤣 later on I intend on getting an under quilt and a top quilt to make it a lot warmer. I got my mattress today. Still waiting for the new sleeping bag and pillow. Then I'll be testing out the hiking tent I've had for over a year & never used 🤣

[@AmyOutdoors]

@@Campingdownunder haha, I've got one of those "bought it a year ago, going to use it soon" hiking tents too 😉

[@GervsAdventures]

Gotta say, This is one of the videos I enjoyed. I love seeing some cooking done on the fire or even if you can spice up the way you cook your meat, prob like on the hot coals alone ect. But good video and cant wait to see more. But I missed out on the live stream which I was at a mates place. Keep it up mate and hope the hammock gives you such a good nights sleep. Cheers!

[@Campingdownunder]

I'm not a fan of a dirty steak lol. But I do like cooking different ways on the fire 👍 the livestream is still up if you wanna check it out

[@GervsAdventures]

@@Campingdownunder no worries mate.

[@GervsAdventures]

@@Campingdownunder will do mate.

[@travelsolo2677]

I now need to get a boat, the ultimate solo camping trip 🤘 you should do a video on how you set up your 12v box and still kept it water proof. How did you Mount everything inside?

[@Campingdownunder]

I kept everything really simple the battery is held in by just hooks & bungee cords so it's easily removable. The Kickass power board is bolted through the side of the box. Send me a message on instagram and I'll send you a photo of the Anderson plug housing I used

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Put the fire stick closer to the kindling

[@Explore_oz]

Good to see you’re still keeping up with the morning coffee 😂 Great video again legend 👌

[@Campingdownunder]

Thanks guys 🙏 I actually quit for around a month but I'm back on them again 🤣

[@Explore_oz]

@@Campingdownunder mate there are worse things to be drinking 😂😅. Despite the rain it still looked like a bloody good time camping.

[@Campingdownunder]

Any time I'm outdoors is a good time 👌 so peaceful & relaxing. Let me know when your keen to go camping together and we'll organise a weekend 👍

[@Explore_oz]

@@Campingdownunder too right my man! Outdoors always better than indoors 👌😉 We’ll get something setup before we head north for sure 🤙

[@hiltonr1845]

New subscriber here , loved the video mate

[@dijm8]

love the end mate, full throttle straight into the other bank 🤣🤣

[@Campingdownunder]

Boats not fast enough for that. Would take me 5 minutes to reach the other side 🤣🤣🤣

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Good stuff mate

[@noahjbarr]

Great video Paul, will be good to see more if these tinny ones in the future!

[@Campingdownunder]

Thanks mate I'll be heading out again next week. The next video will be better as I won't need to explain the new gear again. Just concentrate on relaxing & enjoying myself 👍

[@SteveMaxwell-p9r]

Trying to understand if weight is the issue and in cooler weather why you would sacrifice the weight of a swag for a fridge when an esky would be lighter??

[@Campingdownunder]

My swag took up too much room in the boat and the fridge was supposed to be a permanent setup where I wasn't limited to only a few days camping like I would have been with an esky. Unfortunately my ex now has this boat & I have to buy another one in the future

[@Slayfish125]

What tinny do you have, im trying to find one but im struggling and yours is perffect

[@donaldo1974]

You forgot your camera🤣

[@Campingdownunder]

Ooh well 🤣

[@ferdibirdi]

Oh no, you left without your camera!
