Join us searching for gold, finding plentiful spear spots and hunting and gathering food along the way.
I like to accumulate hard to find things and explore off the beaten track.
I have the uncanny luck of everything that could go wrong goes wrong and ending up in situations that no one would believe if I didn’t document it.

Come along for the ride, I’ll see ya there!

Mine came out soft. All I did was get a little ozito cheap sander and roughed it up to give some texture. I believe sometimes you need to use a board again and re break but each time the leather lube has done the job for me

Originally how did you know that was the right location to dig? Were there crystals near by or you found crystals in the rocks?
@FollowingABrokenCompass
@FollowingABrokenCompass 22 дня назад
If you find my other video on crystals you will see I originally went searching due to the gold that should be in these creeks. As my preferred method is to snorkel for it and there was no bedrock, I spent my day walking around the streams and noticed a heap of diggings and some crystal like rock in the stream. After a fluke of a first attempt just scratching a tiny bit in an already found hole I found one. Now I just rinse and repeat, the area is known for crystals you just got to keep going till you get one- big long days but when you hit one it’s amazing

Bloody Great video mate. Deer are funny eh, hunt them and they are skittish, slightest noise or smell and they are gone, yet I’m clearing Chinese bush from block, lots of sign of them bedding down in there. I burn the bush in piles and 1 hour after I leave the deer are back investigating. Go figure.
@FollowingABrokenCompass
@FollowingABrokenCompass 29 дней назад
Yeah it’s super strange, I think they just learn well. Once the hunting pressure increases your in all sorts of trouble. I found nz with a bow really hard they run at any movement. I suppose that’s why allot of guys shoot across long distances for them

@FollowingABrokenCompass
@FollowingABrokenCompass Месяц назад
I’m in Australia, they are a huge threat to our freshwater waterways due to their prolific breeding compared to our natives. In times of drought and low water the carp suffocate the areas left, where as usually our big cod etc just stay put and own a hole each, with the carp they then take all the oxygen out and nothing survives besides them as they can practically live in mud.

Hunting can be a roller coaster and losing a trophy animal one of the worst scenarios emotionally. It’s very hard not to entertain negativity but in spite of that you persisted and it paid off. Well done….another series of lessons learnt…another story to tell. A trophy to prove it. And the landowner rewarded for his faith in you to do the right thing.
@FollowingABrokenCompass
@FollowingABrokenCompass Месяц назад
@gordonwells1626 yeah mate, all of the above and more. It was a well earnt animal and the first guy that let me hunt and my still only place I am allowed to hunt solo. All other trips have been a friend inviting me so it made this all that much better. I also just hunted solo till I got a deer. Wanted to learn it all myself, been a wild ride and funny that once that chital dropped they just kept coming. This one is extra special, the hours spent and the long drives out and back to think of everything I did right and wrong just made this two days feel like a week. Dunno if you watched my nz red stag one, but this was a month after. The thought of losing two was hurting my brain! Appreciate the comment mate! Have a great weekend
