Greatly appreciate the feedback thanks mate. Cheers Tim.

[@benroberts9915]

Tim, thats exactly how I do it. People say to me but what do you do out there? My answer is I cook, have a few beers, walk, listen and just sit and take in the scenery. Love you channel mate.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Gday Ben, Yeah some people just don’t understand why you would go camping on your own. It can be some of the most relaxing camping trips you will ever go on. The environment around your camp setup is amazing if you just tune into it. Thanks heaps mate for your feedback. Cheers Tim

[@CHUUBZ07]

Honestly Tim good work on all your videos mate, so nice to see your still sticking to your guns with a simple and basic camping set up mate and watching your channel to me personally represents why most aussies got into camping a long time ago, all the other junk floating around online in my opinion is all the same with just over the top modified cars and accessories and just flat out plugging sponsors! Keep it mate mate, sooo refreshing to watch 👍

gday mate your brekkie cooks bring back memories of daily morning tea with my dad on many demo jobs he had all over Sydney an open fire in the front yards using bits of Oregon and hardwood from the scrap pile at 7.30 in morning a couple bricks and corrogated tin or an old oven grill to sit the Billy and pan on and a scraper as an egg flip , the old man cooked up brekkie for the demo team and the Billy bowl was always a treat to watch , I've seen close calls from blokes had never done it before. lol thanks for the memory

[@xXBurgman86Xx]

It’s amazing how few 4wd’s you can buy up Here in QLD because of travel restrictions everyone is hitting up some camping, the only issue is the uninformed and inexperienced people hitting the tracks and beaches there has been a lot of vehicles getting swamped and rolled, or the simple fact that Tyre pressure is key in sand

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@xXBurgman86Xx Thats it mate. Tyre pressures are key on the beaches. No good hearing about the roll overs.

[@lonnieswafford4833]

I love being remote and doing the camp out thing with the bare necessities. Just got back into deer hunting again after a 30 year layoff. Your video takes me back to the mid 70's hunting with my father. Our hunting camp was literally where the road ended. 25 miles from paved roads and in a section prohibited to non 4 wheel drive vehicles. Motor bikes were ok but the 3 wheelers and quads didn't exist in those days so it was horses or 4 wheel drive. Believe it or not it was in northern California at a place called Paynes creek. Love your video sir. Your having way to much fun in the bush. Blessings to you

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Gday Lonnie Sounds like you have some very special camping times with your dad while growing up. Camping remotely is amazing when you can find a spot that others can’t get into. I hope your deer hunting is going well. Thanks so much for your reply. Cheers Tim

another great vid Tim,,, love the recycled brickies trowel at 14;15,,, magnificent !!!!!

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day David, Thanks mate for your feedback, im glad that you enjoyed the video. It was a great trip. Yeah mate, the good ol brickie trowel works a treat. Lol Cheers Tim.

[@DJSAS]

Just had to watch this one again mate. Love Lime stone! Wish I could hit the like button twice. Tell ya what ya don't see many making tea the old bushy way anymore. Have you ever had the handle let go and sent the billy to the moon haha.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Great trip that was mate. Really nice area to kick back for a few days. I've always made my billy tea that way, and the handle has never come off. Thanks for your reply mate. Cheers Tim.

[@DJSAS]

@@timbates4wdadventures Yep the real bushy way. Damper black tea and meat.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@DJSAS Absolutely mate. Cant beat the simple ways of cooking on the campfire.

[@BillSaltbush]

You're doin' it well Timmy. Every time i saw you go near that little stream, I had this vision of you pullin' out the fly rod. A small, whole and lightly fried trout in that frying pan of yours, in beside the bacon would have made something sublime, even better. Really, really good cause to say, "Have a look at that". 😉 Well done, Champ. 👍

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Bill, Not sure what the fishing would be like.It's only a small stream. I do plan to get the rod out on some of my travels. Trout for brekky sounds great mate with the bacon. Im glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks mate for your reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.

[@BillSaltbush]

Ha ha ha! You keep on talkin' about 'The Rod', I keep on talkin' about 'The Fly Rod'@@timbates4wdadventures. C'mon, Timmy, get with the strength mate. Ha ha! That little stream and the Murray (at The Poplars), just a little further up that track carry plenty of pan size fish. You just have to learn how to entice those wily and speckled critters out.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

@@BillSaltbush Haha :-) I have been to the Poplars many times, it's a great spot on the upper reaches of the Murray River. I'd be happy to throw any rod in. Even if i don't catch anything, so relaxing sitting on a mountain river is the go.

You have a top camp trip when you head out with your wife. Thanks again. Cheers Tim.

Hi Tim, this was the video I was looking for and have now subscribed to, as I am retiring soon and going traveling for 4 months on my own, good to see simple cooking meals, love my bacon and egg sanga's, but now I know how to make a damper, was taught as a youngster but forgotten until now, Thanks mate 😎😎😎 I will be watching a lot of your videos now.
