That HQ rear bumper was worth salvaging .

Unfortunately my eyes aren’t great anymores so to pause doesn’t give me option to blow up, think lots will have same problem , just so a know, when making vids like this, fella, a good vid yet again, love ya work bloke, when are you coming home cause my dog will get fixed but he’s a prise, Australian bull terrier, would like one litter, they’ll be beautiful, he’s already famous, as I said before, lovely

Love the vids Campman!, There's millions of Aussie men stuck in their jobs with their wives kids and mortgages just dreaming of doing what you're doing!. You're an inspiration to many!.

R.i.p. Malcolm, loved his shows and his adventurous spirit

I haven’t seen you (or any videos) since you were in my backyard at Cape Palmerston in Queensland. When did you venture out on your own.

Not only are saving concrete with the use of beer cans and bottles but the air cavity is a great insulator.

Great film Camp Man. Malcolm Douglas is a legend.

Some history there , I had the privilege of meeting the old bugger 31 years ago when I was 15 , my dads mate was a pro fisherman and used to bunk up with him when he was netting that area back in the day , pop out and see him me dads mate Munro says ! Well shit a brick the yarns he spun 😂😂 funny bugger , here have a beer he says to the old man and here have another, you can’t fly on 1 wing he reckons (bush chooks from the powerless fridge ! 😂) he was also a fighter pilot for Germany back in WW2 and a glazier by trade , he actually helped install the windows in the Derby airport , True character 👍

Meet old Helmut in the mid 80's on a fishing trip and had a couple of beers with him. Your right about having big balls. He use to wade out and set a net in front of his hut (His hut has seen better days). His only protection was a wooden donger to pacify the crocs and sharks caught in his net. A truck use come from Derby, collect the fish and resupply him. Back then he ran a genset to power the freezer. Me and the mates spend time chatting to him, he was a great character.

I remember that show when Malcom visited Helmut. It’s always stuck in my mind. Great episode.

Keep them coming, Dale Old mate. Malcom would be proud. It just simply amazes me how bloody beautiful Australia really is, and what better way to see it, through your videos! I'm hanging to get out one day. Well done bro, and stay safe.

Join and subscribe. Mick. This was my home and fitzory crossing. I delivered concrete. To all the community's. Up to Hal's Creek. It's nice to see the area has been cleaned up. And tolit blocks. ) long ago we pour concrete with the council. Later say inverment problems. On the walf. Barramundi hehe. Smile. Not easy hehe. Those areas have plenty of rock under water to go to. Then your stuffed. But wait wait . Will get hungry. And come out of the rocks. you will get it. 👍👍👍👍👍👍. Nice eating. Worth it )))) Back tracking the history ❤️ it ) emotion. Family or explore. I feel. . I appreciate you... God bless... People don't understand. See in real life will understand . Sad truth... hay I did enjoy. Take my friend. I call you a friend because you are open to life. Take care. Now wollongong nsw 5000km plus from there.

Just recently visited this top spot. Got to see Helmut's hut also. Amazing he lived out there in the harshest of elements. I'd love to see the video where he met Malcom Douglas. . I couldn't find it anywhere.

Old Helmut place has really gone down hill the last few years. It's been over 20yrs since iv visited there .RIP helmut .love your Chanel mate a real Aussie.

Helmets pad was made out of old drill shafts and concrete n corrie /if you only knew the story about old helmet/ in the floods with crocks floating around him and his dog n chooks / the friendly peoples of derby would get supplies and get in there tinny and check up on him /

I was up in the kimberley just over 5 years ago. Your videos are giving me the itch to go back. Bloody warm and muggy but beautiful country. Fresh baramundi over the fire just before the Kimberley sun sets.

Camp man he was a LEDGEN I MET THE BLOKE BACK IN 93 WHEN I WORKED ON CAMBALONE MATE what a LEDGEN

Enjoyed Campman looking forward to the fishing 🎣 I might watch that Malcolm Douglas episode 😊

It’s a beautiful spot we camped there last year and the house is amazing how he built it I think even some of today’s engineers could learn from his work

Shame Helmut's shack never got maintained. Good local history. Great interesting video, looking forward to the barra jumping! 😮😃👍

Just watched Malcoms vid, Omg old man still loves his smokes and beer 🍻 😂 what an amazing man ❤ as Malcom was too ❤️❤️

Subscribed! I remember watching a Malcom Douglas episode as a kid. Going down the Kimberly out to the sea..... one day. First time ive seen one of your videos and would like to shake your hand one day.

I miss the Malcom Douglas movies.

Great video mate. I was wondering recently what happened to Helmets but. I grew up watching Malcolm’s shows to. I named my eldest Son after Malcolm.

I remember watching that DVD when Malcolm visited old mate awesome you got to go there 👍🏻

Hey, like your videos, at the start of the vid when you said Malcoms mate at Derby it came back to me, that’s when Helmats cat scratched Malcolm’s hand and drew blood, love the top end.

What was Helmut's story,where did he come from,did he have any family and when did he pass away?

I had the pleasure of meeting Helmut in 1998 👍

I remember seeing that show to mate . I to was a kid . Thanks for that I was good to see them old fellas again

Visit the hut quite a bit, whenever I’m up the river fishing in that area, hats off to helmut 👍

Kia Ora Mate AOTEAROA( Land of the Long White Cloud) in the comments sitting here for a laxer..great addition to my day this was..something to discover & learn everyday..thanks for allowing me to ride along..

Remember that episode well, what a character he would of been. Pity you didn’t catch up with the Derby Jetty Queen from Facebook. Great vid, keep ‘em coming. 👌

Aye you have a unique perspective CM; very earthy, very real, very now! Thanks mate keep up the good work!

Love your videos mate. We need the next generations of Aussie adventurers to start d up. You are doing just that. Kind regards, Michael Butler.

great vid mate, these blokes Helmut & malcom were pioneers of this great country and to walk in their footsteps is priceless, u got me on board, cheers

I love that river was one of the highlights of our Kimberly trip.

What an episode and what a life you live. You did very well to find Helmut's old shack.

Helmet said to Malcom in part 5 that the flood took his water tank , it’s good to see you found it.

Are you out near HELMONT CAMP MATE IM IN DERBY NOW

I remember him visiting him twice on camera, once probably in the 80s and then in the later video you shared. He was a german ww2 pilot. Its sad his place is almost gone.

The problem with keeping company with people many years my senior, is having to let them all go...

Excellent episode again mate, loved the old shack where Helmet lived, he was 85 when he lived there. He loved a beer 🍻

I also watched a Salty Sessions video where they got to Old Helmut's by boat when the Fitzroy was flooded.

So cool mate I remember the old boy from that episode, thanks for taking us to that little piece of paradise

Right on, i loved watching Malcolm Douglas and i remember that old German off in the bush. cheers

How Awesome, love fresh mullet, smoked, fillets. Great way to live n see Aus.

Great video, not surprisingly. They are all good

Great job 🍻

Loved Malcolm Douglas's shows. I have special fondness for the way he would cook in the bush. A pinch of salt and a handful of flour were literal pinches and handfuls. The cooked product he pulled from the coals would always look so much more delicious to me than any 'Michelin Star' restaurant rubbish. Thanks so much for bringing us this footage. Enjoy your travels. 👍

was there last week and although the top section is almost gone it still holds strong. what an amazing gentleman, rest easy.

How the fk that car rusted away completely in 20? Yrs 😢

Awesome Ep Big fellow, How good to be where them two had been chatting years before

Great video mate and best of luck on the road 👍🏼
