I am shocked to see so much devastation. We just marked the 11th anniversary here in Japan, of the tsunami that hit our coast. Sending heartfelt wishes for strength and courage to those of you who are suffering.

Amazing to see the community come together to help those in need. Heart goes out to those affected.

Was expecting a catch and cook. Instead it starts with a heart warming humanitarian effort. Humans helping humans. So grateful for this video.

You are an honorable man/human being. One of my favorites on KZfaq. Stay frosty bubba, glad to hear you and your fam are OK. We are also going through floods here in The US and the state of Vermont. No where near 14.5 meters but still nasty. 14.5 meters sounds like a fantasy but I believe every word. Just crazy, now we all know where you have been.

Heart breaking to see the destruction. But heart healing to see all the togetherness of folk like you mucking in. Stay safe brother 🙏🏻👍🏻

Something bad happening and just watching, something bad happening and actually doing something. That's food for inspiration. Kudos. Also thanks for sharing another fine episode of the series.

What's happening is heart breaking but the community coming together is beautiful.

I`m glad you showed the world what complete and utter devastation the Northern Rivers, Lismore and Eastern Seaboard towns have suffered... As a local myself, thank you for your efforts to get essentials to those who needed it most... Keep up the fantastic work and channel... :)

Thankyou so much for your assistance in our beautiful little area of condong, we all really appreciate what everyone has done. Your a legend mate.

Prayers for the whole town hope they recover quickly 🙏🏼🙏🏼 and you are awesome for helping out since you got a boat 🤙🤙

its so amazing to see what others consider "cloudy" or "murky"! I would love to have water where I can see more than 3 inches!

Sorry to see the flooding was so hard on your area, the forces of nature can be tough at times but it tends to bring out the best in people, helping each other then working hard to build it back good as new. Really enjoyed the island camping trip as I always do. It's very cold here, still all iced up, and I was immersed in your world of warm sun and water, and the sound of the ocean. It was wonderful, thank you! Take care.

It was kind of you to help out. God bless you!

If my home was destroyed by flooding the first thing i would want is a case of beer! People who help are truly the best that humanity has to offer!

Got to love how you self taught catch and cook chefs can create something special with very little just the basics at hand. From the catch to the filleting, to the prep, to the cooking and then the presentation you are definitely in the top 5 in my book and 1 of these is a professional chef.

Rod, so sad to the destruction. Good on you for helping out. Nice fish/camp.

Your artistry shows in how your dishes are constructed. Looked delicious. Be well.

I was so worried about you and your fam, I am so glad to see you are alright, I hope your extended family is as well. it is really hard to see all of this destruction from afar and not be able to help. and that you were able to help as well... thank you for the update, I come from a very poor Caribbean island that has been constantly facing these types of climate based extreme weather events for the past 60y and I know we would be even more destitute but for the help we get... so its great to see the community getting together to help!

thank u for helping rod much appreciated

main supply in a flood - Water. Good work by all, the hard times keep compiling but as always we stick together to help each other out.

Hard graft by all the volunteers but very full filling I am sure. Great Aussie spirit to come together like that. Honestly I did not realise how hard those areas were hit.

NICE Rod! Great diverse and heartfelt vid. Loved it from beginning to end, thanks!

Thanks for helping legend

Sad time in our lives these days. Weather, natural disasters, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and really bad politics. Be safe my friend.

Man you guys have so many Pickups(Utes) that us Americans dream of...all those 79 series...🤤 Great video. Truly amazing how the community can come together when in need the most. Also loved the catch and cook...the passion and humbleness in your videos I can feel it through the screen. Cheers from Northern California

I know it’s really bad what’s happened over there but I had to laugh with the rashens given out. That one person thought. These guys need some mid strength alcohol. F THE WATER. THEY NEED BEER. Typical Australia with love 😅🤣

ahh yes , my relaxation type of vids

Great looking Meal.

14.5 meters!!?? That's absolutely insane.

People donating beer, thats my kind of thoughtfulness

Nice to see you got new stove. Hope its reliable and last long. Glad you missed the flood and helping those folks. Cheers.

Now this is L.I.V.I.N baby!

Good on mate 😇, it is good to see that there is good in humanity, where we help each other out when in need, good Aussie spirit

That's what Aussie do get in and help love ya work bro

Good work road excellent young man.

Champion! Good on yo for helping out and my son is chuffed with the grasshopper shirt! Keep them coming.👍

Good on you! Nice to see people helping out.

Ur right prickly pear fruit is awesome. I hope everyone recovers from the flud.

I've lived through devastating floods both in BC and Manitoba here in Canada, so the heartbreaking scenes of devastation you showed us are eerily familiar. Loved seeing the community mobilize for those in need

food always looks amazing, didnt even need the fish

Your assistance to those in need shows your true spirit and heart. Thank you for sharing those images of the floods

On ya brother! Well done to everyone 👏

Thanks for the help brother with flood...

Love your channel all the way from Scotland, so sad to see the desctruction the floods have caused.

Whoo hoo he's back folks get your popcorn n grab a seat... thank you Rod!!!!

I’ve been lurking for the past week or two wondering if you and your family were doing okay. Glad to see you are and mad props as always for the relief help. Some devastating scenes there but love the video.

Good job on helping the flood victims. You are amazing mate🍻✌️🐟🇦🇺🍻

Only 2 minutes in but had to say good on ya brother your such a humble good guy one day I'd like to buy you a beer and shake your hand! Cheers for what you do brother bloody legend 👍👍🍻

Nice vid mate 👍. Smoked mullet is really good too. Just some food for thought.

Prayers for all those people affected by the flooding. Awesome Australians helping each other out in hard times. So glad you are ok Rod!!!!!

Great to see you helping out. I enjoyed this one.

I (would) say, "yeah, it must be nice being able to live his lifestyle", rather than working 70 hours a week, I (would say that), yet I'm old enough to understand that regardless of what you think of another's life or how much you may covet their lifestyle, they have life issues as well and it is always better to at least be thankful for what you have in this life as an individual. I am happy with my life and I am happy his joyous seeming life can add even (more) happiness to my own. Thank you to the few hard working KZfaqrs out there that I subscribe to. Most perhaps believe you live the "easy" life. There is no such thing as easy, so thank you. This gives me an escape and an extension into a different world. So awesome bro. Thank you. 🙏 🤲

36:33 Was waiting for it...🐟

Good on you for helping your community. It's amazing how quickly a community comes together in an emergency. Recently experienced that with a massive fire in my area. Also, I've fallen in love with this little island. haha.

Yaesss! Always a good day with new videos from you mate! Sorry to hear about what you mainlanders are going through. Sending safety and protection your way from Tassy!

Nice meal out of such a humble fish...

If you get a bunch of prickly pear fruits and roast them for a few minutes over the fire, it burns the spines off and makes them nice and easy to peel.

The wet season monsoon rains arrived and left a trail of flood damage and destruction. To all affected best for the future , best of luck as well . Best wishes from a person born in a cyclone in the 60's and used to moving house after the floods and starting over many times . So glad my parents decided to buy an old Qld'er house on the hill opposite the old wooden Baron river bridge north of Cairns city centre. Great video mate love watching your videos on the island groups, keep safe Rokkit best wishes and regards , best for you and family.

Hello from British Columbia Canada. 🇨🇦👍👋🤔♥️🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧bad floods here in November so much devastation, weird weather every where, sometimes we dont get any snow, I'm in the southwest on the coast, lots of snow and freezing.🌡🏝 nice to watch😍😍

Good to see you out and about, prayers go out to Australia flooding casualties. Looks like you lost a lot of weight since your last video. I hope you and your family are doing well during this crazy weather. Stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

Great work helping the local flood victims Rod! Another great video 👌

Great cooking as always but, yeh nah, white wine is the go with that sauce. Also, time-lapse outro is a winner. Would love to see the whole sunset ‘till it goes dark 😎

Just role the prickly pare in the sand. That gets rid of the prickly bits. 😜.

That was great of you to help with those supplies It is all over the news here. I hope to catch and cook on the Ocean someday.

amazing team work to rebuild.

Haha, double rubber point blank mullet overkill!

Great to see the community band together to help.

rods been hitting the gym!!!!!!

You've done so well to help those in need Rod. Good on you. Top vid 👍

Hey Rod true blue mate thanks for helping out those in need and you are still helping with the great content for many of us that can not be out there much appreciated buddy

So sad to see all the distruction rod glad to see you and your family are ok its great to see people come together to help those in need at this terrible time your a good person and it wasnt a supprise you were in there helping with the others i hope and pray yous all come out of this disaster and get back to normality best wishes from belfast northern ireland

Sorry to see all the flooding in your area man. That's rough. Being part of the solution is the only way to go. This year I'm going to try and focus time on my camping trips to eating better, rather than my default of steak and potatoes or backpacking meals. I'm not much of a fisherman but damn, if your videos don't make me want to do some catch and cooks. Keep up the great work.

In glad you guys are ok, good to see the community coming together to help one another.

The river has a lot of Clay runoff from the Flooding :) Your RIGHT rockit, your just doing your thing lad, its all anyone can do.

Thanks for sharing some footage of what's going on. After being stuck in Singapore for the last 2 years, it's great to see some local perspectives from home.

This brings back the tragedy we had here in Texas same destruction and flood boats on the streets like it was a river everywhere so sad seen this

Wow heartbreaking…..hope all is well…stay safe and strong…

Another amazing video. Thanks for helping out with others that are stranded! You my friend are great people!

Much love and respect for helping the people out.

Always love your videos keep them coming

Awesome to see everyone pitching in , fantastic stuff .

Great to see your fam weren’t too affected by the floods Rod. Some crazy stats on the rainfall.

Wow! So I finally figured out where abouts you are tripping out of

Absolute legend!

27:13 boom head shot 👍

Hell half the time when we fish with mullet as bait the other fish wont touch them. You are a brave man!😎

Prayers for the ones going threw it out there..... anyways love the new island video,love em all actually ^_^ cheers

I PRAY FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY TO ALL HOMES AND LANDS and hope all gets better sooner than expected brother

I’ve been waiting for one of these yesss

In Mexico we call those prickly fruits Tunas lol but they’re really delicious ! They wouldn’t last a day when my dad would bring some to our house!

Back in the 70s. Restaurants served THRESHAR shark for swordfish. And you can take a pipe and punch scallops out of Ray wings

Anyone else have a heart attack when the shark popped into view? I should have worn my brown pants while watching this

Hey Rod. Another channel I watch, is a guy called Chad Zukerman. He goes full Primitive in a desert somewhere in the States. He eats the prickly pear fruit as well. His trick is to burn off those little prickles. After seeing him and now you eat and say how nice they are, I’m keen to try them myself. Although we don’t have them here in Tas. Great to see you back doing the Solo camp, catch and cook gig. Love it. Rob, Tasmania

Looks like my state Louisiana every hurricane season. I feel those peoples pain.

Good too see you back rod, love the vids mate keep up the good work ! 😊

Cool just watched the video about two nights ago where you talk about looking into a gas stove with a clicker and now you got one!

What a beautiful island, like so peaceful there Enjoying the underwater adventures in your videos too 🐟🌊🌴

Good work Rod. Everyone doing their bit to help 👍

Cool shirt my man! Tamiya Grasshopper. Classic.

good one old mate . floods are so sad but the camp out was fantastic . your a lucky man . cheers Rob.
