"Stay out of and away from the water" - immediately switch to a river crossing! :D

I am from here. You shouldn’t be worried about crocs on land, even in shallow fast flowing water it should be fine to swim. I would mainly watch for snakes lol.

Being from Florida that kinda looked like my world. We don't have a lot of crocs, but I'm assuming gators behave a lot alike. Not very dangerous on land and don't usually inhabit clear, fast moving waters. Ethier way, that was quite an adventure with the weather and the swamps. Nice!

Crocs are not like alligators. They are dangerous in water and very dangerous on land. They can lunge 4m in .25 of a second. That’s 12m/s. You simply cannot get away fast enough if you are within their strike range and they can run pretty quickly too.

Epic hike, looks like a lot of fun. Pretty cool seeing your Trangia cooker. I have had one in my truck for years.

I think you’ll find the highest mountain in QLD is Bartle Frere not one on Hinchinbrook. You said biggest though so I’m not sure if you mean size or height.

Looks beautiful. I would be one to go over and look for the crocs.

Who would know about crocs in QLD? Les Hiddens might! But then from the crocs perspective you're the 'bush tucker'.

Great video, loved the wilderness ! Question: how did you do with recharging your camera? It looks like you took a fair bit of footage… curious!

I have a portable solar panel and battery pack - I wanted to show it on camera but the rain was relentless! I will do so in a future video

What's your count of 'Australian wildlife that can kill you' sightings?

Really not that many yet - maybe 10 total. Soon it will be thousands once we really get into croc territory.
@jamesparlane9289 2 жыл бұрын
Only 40 at a time. Don't want the crocks being overfed and getting fat.
