G'day Jack. We've been watching every episode for some time now and have enjoyed them all. We can't get over your resemblance between you and your Dad but can we can appreciate how proud he must be to know his son is able to manage a business which requires such a vast quantity of skills all in very trying circumstances. We recall your trip to Canberra and often wonder if you had much of a response from the clowns in the current government, knowing that none of those people have ever held a position where hard work is envolved. Your videos must be opening the eyes of ordinary Australians, particularly those of us in the eastern states to the 'camel problem'. Surely the uninformed, uncaring politicians must realise the cost of ammunition and fuel is such a major factor in keeping an operation such as your afloat, yet they are happy to slip millions of dollars into the hip pockets of any overseas country that puts its had up. Once again we appreciate what you are doing and know you will keep the fight up - more strength to your arm. Cheers.
Your videos are very good, they are an eye opener for those of us who have never been on a station. I have been on a mates dairy farm, milked cows , done all sorts of bits and pieces helping him , when I was on days off ( army). But what you blokes do is just on another level completely.
Very productive morning. Like the flying, how you maintain all the water point issues, muster cattle, wack the camels, "have lively conversations with Danny". Don't think I missed it but hoping for some info on why there is a 3rd plane, benefits etc. Will review the old video on the getting the first plane. Golly take care in the heat. Thanks for taking the time to pull these videos together.
As always a great experience and educational video. Your life, job and family are just what many need to see. Farming, whether crop or animal, is a hard, stressful and dirty job. Keep the content coming. I've always wondered just how life in the outback for a family was. Thanks to you now I and the world know. Keep it up, you're doing great.
Congratulations, Jack, on the 50K subscribers. Your video and sound techniques have improved incrementally with each video, and the subject matter is becoming more diverse. I’ve watched your channel since the first video with great interest, especially the point-to-point intranet coverage of your property, the wide range of environmental factors and hardships that you encounter and the difficulties that you face with the Government Department-well done, mate.
Hi Jack, we are thoroughlyenjoying your videos, and appreciate the time and energy you devote to the video production. The inflight audio is quality andthe camera under the wing gets our thumbs up. Thank you again for your efforts and keep on tracking, 'cos we enjoy you being with us each day for lunch. Best wishes to all your family. Cheers, .Malcolm
Great video Jack(of all trades). Great to see you are building your support. Maybe you should rally the troops to petition the gummint. Hopeless politicians.
In regard to protecting your cables... As a sparkie we used flexible steel conduit commony used by the Americans. I have used it also covered in pvc and it is very hardy. I remember the none sheated flexible to be galvanised or maybe nickle plated. Just a thought, give your local electrician or electrical contractor supplier. I am sure it will make your cable off limits to cockies and camels :-) good luck
About 2005 flew from darwin down to tanimi dessert gold rush mine 3 day work no clue wtf i was in for but if you dont try you never experience anything 1st time up north in a small plane looking out the window for Buffalo camels roos or anything moving they say are everywhere up north i did Not seen 1 living thing in 800 miles theres fook all in them no mans deserts you'd die fast out there without water/food if the heat dont get you the freezing nites will chill ur cold ass and sheez did it get cold working up a tower my hand near froze 2am took 1/2hr under warm water to get feelings back in my hands they were white . yes day 2 night shift Gloves and a coat was good then 10 pm to 8am you learn fast was about 2cel at night Respect Jack you out there doing your thing its hard Yaka mate!
Great edit on this one Jack. Really like the camera angles in the aircraft and the narration in flight view is ideal. Nothing better than aviation in the bush👍
It appears that once upon a time there was some water locally, as I noticed several washes fairly wide with some depth to them. Even couple places appear to have been decent reservoirs. Are is these all either something that's all a result many years of heavy flash flooding. As is typical of mainly in West Texas, and to a large degree across many other parts of the state. Where we have lots of mesquite trees, cactus of variety of kinds, some places the scrub brush doesn't grow over 5' in height, and others where evergreen cedar trees have taken over untold acres. The bad thing about the cedar is not only does it basically kill the soil around it with the shade, and heavy coverage of dead needles that fall annually. They have extremely deep tap roots that suck every drop of moisture from the shallower ground water, so that there's nothing to nourish the grasses that try to survive in the little clearings between the cedar where they having gotten to the point of crowding everything out yet. Which leaves everything else no longer able to survive beneath them. Excellent footage, and shows what the areas around look like other than the ground views which the bush tends to make it appear somewhat more covered in vegetation than it really is. Music was well matched with the views. You'll keep growing now that you have reached 50,000.
Those wires you were mending if they were in conduit, metal or plastic they would be protected. Just a thought mate. Keep up the good content and thankyou.
Personally I wouldn't ask for better cameras or a crew or anything like that. I''m already getting what I'm here for just fine. That doesn't need better cameras and a crew, you know? Though I enjoyed the flight stuff in this video. That was cool.
Good on you Jack, I Like your laid-back attitude and the Videos you make the way you do it, it's the way it should be, no posh look at me living it up showing what is not real life. You have a hard lifestyle and are a grafter not posing about with posh gear it's the real world, The Haters and RU-vid don't understand you have to deal with Vermin (The Camels) they think are the animals in the Zoo and not what can destroy your livelihood. You keep doing what you do. the way you do it, your channel will grow slowly and steadily. G'Day mate from a Pom a few Thousand miles away. (UK)
Awsome channel….cattle camels planes trucks Honda dirt bikes big rigs…reviews items to be acutely used in the outback… Piano music loading hay 😒….but I can’t stop whistling intro song 👍
Fair bit of crud coming out of the bloodwood poly pipe, particulate from the bore settling out in the surface poly and disturbed by your moving the poly or just what gets picked up from the bore sump when the pump starts up? Congrats on the 50k subscribers, prefer the wing mount position to the tailplane, better idea of whats coming, maybe a bit more down angle to pick up whats on the ground, a couple more degrees. Sound was pretty throughout.
Well done Jack. Lovely. One observation though, it looks like your left front landing wheel is toed in a little bit. It throws a little dirt up when your going straight ahead which I believe bit should not. Love to watch from Toronto Canada.
I like your videos, your content, your efforts to make a more polished product for us to view - great stuff, thank you! One thing I noticed and that is your airplane engines seem to have a brake to stop the prop right away when you cut the magnetos. Usually engines give a few rotations once you kill the ignition - these planes seem to have a blade brake like a lawn mower - turn off the engine and the prop stops immediately. Is this normal for these aircraft? Maybe I have viewed too many war birds shutting down...
G’day Jack, do you have a limit on how many beers you’re allowed per day on the station on a weekday on your limit all the time I absolutely love your videos. Keep up the good work , really impressed with Danny. He is such a good worker. It’s good to see the first nation people working on the farm and stations. They are so talented. I worked in the Northern Territory for awhile and black grown to admire their bush skills , Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺
@@jack_out_the_back Everything was viewable. As you say your job is cattle farming, not camera operator or film director. I only had experience with sheep farming, so I find it interesting how your operation runs.
Hi Jack , Mate I am really enjoying your watching what you guys do out there. What was the actual distance that you travelled via air and how long did it take compared to driving?
??how light/fast is your plane?? How far away from home is your furthest station?? Why you no take gun incase camels are there?? Brilliant video mate!!🍺🍺💪👍👍👍
Hi Jack, do you ever take Danny up on the plane and let him have a bit of a fly who seems to do a lot of other things around the station is such a great guy I have around anyway keep up the good work love the videos always look forward for the next episode/video Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺
that landing at 40:57 !! how quickly can that beastie pull up , seemed very short ! my stickers should arrive shortly RFDS was a big part of Kalgoorlie when i was a kid
Hey Jack, is there a mud map online we can look at to see the positions of the waterpoints you're flying to? Would be great to get an appreciation of distances travelled when you're out and about by plane or car and talking about different points.
Have you thought of putting a hot wire round the cables that the cattle chew? They only use electricity when they deliver a shock to a cow's mouth, otherwise they are free.
One trick we use in the UK when dealing with horses, which are even worse for chewing than are cows, is a mixture called Cribox. Grease base with a bitter agent and a hot agent mixed in, plus a nasty smell. One taste of that and nothing, nothing ever goes back for a second lick. We even used it on woodwork that squirrels were chewing; I'd have loved to have seen that first taste but they stopped chewing immediately and haven't tried again. You know, I do wonder why gyroplanes aren't more common in Australian bush piloting circles. Lower maintenance costs than a helicopter, and much shorter landing strips needed but you still have an agile and effective aircraft.
Random question mate, have you ever worked out what kind of mileage you get on that plane? (L/100) I'm sure there's a million things that cause it to vary but could you give us a rough number. It'd be interesting to see how it compares to driving. Yes I realise you fly a much different path than driving, and what you save in time is worth the extra expense. I'm just curious how the fuel usage compares.
I'll watch a little closer next time, thanks for the response. Did you ever get your new Fluke meter? I have a 77 I've used since the 80's - cheers Trevor@@jack_out_the_back
