How we fed our Family this Week (Remote West Oz)
Having spent some down time with family and friends in regional Western Australia, we're back on another road trip. Rather than stay in a house, this is camping with two kids under 3 with very little preparation. I mean, most of our camping gear is in boxes on the other side of the world.... I think you can all see where this is going.....
Join us as we intend to do the impossible.
Love Elay, Riles, Lenny & Darwin

Liking the bangs hair style a lot:) and keep smiling, think good and it will be good!
Wow - Remote Western Australia is beautiful!
LOVED "Never has a generation so diligently documented themselves accomplishing so little."
Lovely episode guys. It is clear that the break has been good for you. By the time you read this you'll be USA bound so safe travels.
I had to stop the video and rewind. Dude! Right between the eyes?!? Amazing shot...
Fantastic episode guys, I should have jumped on here earlier, I could have lent you a proper camping setup to use instead of a bloody hire car! Let me know if you do need any gear or outdoor contacts here (I’m a full time outdoors YouTuber too)
I Want To Be There Camping With You Two!! The packing up was dejuv of my childhood family of 7 camping every summer. Thanks Riley for sharing the full circle moment with you and Lenny at the sand dunes. I agree with Elayna - packing to create more liveable space is one of the nicest things you can do for each other! Oh the the little things in life. You had me at "Elayna I can smell the ocean" ! BEAUTIFUL Enjoy your camping adventure.
I’m so glad you guys are back, loved the Manta Rays!
These are awesome videos. No worries, you two. Love everything you post.
Good to see y'all having a ball in Oz!
You're light-hearted approach to both adventure and adversity has helped fuel my own sailing dream into fruition - my catamaran is scheduled to launch in the spring!
Love you guys and your sweet family! Thanks for sharing your journey with humor and humble-ness.
Another great video! Love you guys!!! 💕💕
Once you get there, it’s always epic and fun and worth it. 😁❤️
Looks like Iona has got a little competition with Kate ❤️ Lenny has really got it good. 😊 That’s always my reaction to a camping trip, but you know dang well you’ll ultimately have the best time and it’s all worth it, thank you Elayna. Sting Rays 😳 I always think about Steve Irwin RIP. 😔 Jeeps are my thing, so road trips over beat up dirt roads and trails are the BEST! Cheers Fam 🍻 ❤️❤️
We just got back from our own road trip to Santa Cruz & San Francisco. Every time we see a Trimaran we think of you!. We are looking forward to seeing you sail around Australia! We are so glad you had a great trip! We love that you don’t let the small shit bother you.
"Kate is fun size" love it. Great description. Must have felt great to get in the water and do some spear fishing. Please stop worrying about the quality of your video's. Just be yourself and share with us, that's all we ask. Be real. That said, I for one am ready to see you all back on a boat. But Riley, dude, lose the bangs!! (you know I had to say it after that shout out on the last live). Love you guys!!
12:48 Camera placement awesome! Nailed it!
The whole debate about helm protection is really silly. Just put a wet weather jacket on. A minute into your watch you are generally comfy and enjoying the elements.
Elayna, I am loving your ear piercings! I’m inspired to get one or two new ones soon. It’s always a pleasure to watch your updates and see your family, but your Australia, it is incredible and so so gorgeous, thank you for showing us around your homeland!
Comment ☺️
Looking forward to the tri off the coast of Australia, ... those waters, ... just amazing looking!
I'm so happy you're spending some time on land in Australia. It's such a beautiful country. Our American son, DIL, and two grandchildren have lived there for 15 years (Townsville, Darwin, Sydney, and now Hobar). We've been to many places there, including rain forest and some outback, but not the west. Keep filming!
Great video! The water clarity and sea life brings back memories of your adventures in the Bahamas! Hope you get to meet up w Brodie!
Love your soundtrack selections (and of course when Elayna plays her own stuff!). Heard this song for the first time and it made me think of some of the music you guys use in your videos. Thought you might like. https://open.spotify.com/track/05aW1nYQQESYivIRRQIFCh?si=f076de845fb04999
I just can't wait for the update!
Love you guys! Short notice trips are always the best. Enjoy it as much as you can with the littles. They don’t stay little long. Can’t wait for the next episode!
Australia looks a beautiful country. Loved the shots of you diving with the mantra rays who were absolutely awesome.
Life is so unpredictable with all that is going on around us here in the states and all across the world with personal family as well. We all find great Joy and pleasure watching as you and your family cut through the murky and turbulent waters of COVID to find little glimpses of peace and tranquility. I know it brings me to peaceful and tranquil places in my heart and my memories from past experiences. Stay Salty my people!
Love you guys!!! ❤️❤️ You got this!!
I was wondering when we'd hear King Gizz in a video again
Watching your adventures from lockdown in Sydney have been fantastic. Have a great time and stay safe :-)
Thanks Riles for putting me onto King Gizz. I'm absolutely hooked!!! "Automation, Automation."
Been watching for years . Always look forward for more
All is good. Love watching your videos even though you are not currently on a boat.
Hey fans. Follow in their wake wherever they go. 👍
Hang in there. It's all good. You'll be on the trimaran soon enough. ⛵😊...🤠🍻
Love you guys xo
Great video! I sure appreciate how much you give us! Loved that big smile from baby Darwin, loved Lenny saying “not yet” walking the dunes, Riley, I loved your comment about Elayna playing at the pub! Love that you can get in that beautiful blue water. I hope the announcement is that you aren’t going to Charleston SC, USA! Hope you will be able to stay in Australia for a bit longer and then go to Vietnam 🇻🇳. Hugs, Grandma Ollie
GOSH the clarity of that water is unreal! I had a bit of a laugh at your voices when you were talking and driving the washboard roads haha! Lenny & Darwin and adorable, as always!
Loved the Video! Loved the clips of Lenny and Darwin as well. Cheers Donna
OMG! The manta must have been spectacular to see live! Maybe someday I will, if I can get out of this trap(literally) I am in.
Thanks guys. Great film - fun road trip. Those underwater shots are really stunning. Fabulous rays, sharks and clear water. Taking me away from my grey 'cell' in London
Such fun watching you! How I remember packing a small car for a long trip to Disneyworld with our 5 and 3 year old! I love seeing this beautiful part of Australia! The water is so clean and clear. I’m amazed at the wide open spaces!I can almost taste the fresh fish. Like hearing the boat updates. I wondered how you’d solve the dingy dilemma. Looks good! Your kids are delightful to watch. So cute and sweet. You seem so adept at parenting. It’s NOT always as easy as it may seems. Sometimes you long for some alone time…hard to find I know. Soon you will be off again. It was to be back to the old boat. Gotta admit, that was such a great boat for you. Sure you don’t want a bigger Outremmer? Not trying to undermine you. I’m a old sailor who enjoys room and comfort. Curious about what’s up now. I’ll be tuned in❤️ Always an adventure in the making, and never a Dull moment.
Wonderful 🤩
Loved the vid -- thanks
Do comments here count on YouTube?
Nope
Great underwater shots - camping with 2 kids in the wilderness has got to be more challenging than crossing the Atlantic . . . singlehandedly!. I speak for all your Patrons when I say how much we appreciate your dedication in keeping us all vicariously close to your life's journey. Truly amazing . . . thanks for inviting me along your adventures . . . you inspire me to seek a way to add a bit of adventure to my life . . . I might go back to sailing dinghies (which was my passion) - take care!
Do it Pierre. My beloved’s dinghy sailing is his sanity. I enjoy it too, just not a core to my being as it has become for him.
Manta rays are so perplexing!! Beautiful vid
This reminded me of the North West road trip you guys did many many years ago when you still had the monohull, so cool ☺️!
Enjoyed this thank you for creating it ❤️
Great video!!! Glad to see you are all surviving the time with out a boat to sail on and still producing great family content with funny little things happening as life would have it. Keep it up and we will see you on the ocean soon!
Laughing at how much the car's shocks rebounded while you were emptying it. Cheers
How exciting possible future anchorage. Oh my goodness Darwin is so much like Lenny at that age, maybe they'll be mistaken as twins when they're older.
You Tube is like that plant in Little Shop of Horrors, "Feed me! Feed me now!!"
Woohoo! Excellent editing on those underwater bits! Loved it. 😍😍
Always great to join you! What about them sharks in the video, can you tell which ones might become dangerous?
your videos always go so fast! 18min felt like 5min! Elay shouldn't be so worried about singing, I always enjoy hearing her so to see you doing a live gig would be awesome! I miss you singing on the channel like you use to , please do more again. Oh and I love you guys showing off our awesome home!
Loved seeing you guys back on the water!! As soon as WA border opens I know where my next road trip is 👌🏼 ☀️ Keep up the videos, highlight of my week!!
trying to debunk this caption... LOVE IT!
It's 5 AM here on the East Coast of the USA & traveling with u guys again is such a wake-up joy! The water & scenery look so vast & inviting! U surround urselves with the best friends. Best on the boat build. U will be there soon, the kids r great & growing! Luv' ya!
Hi! Lots of love from Finland. We are entering the beautiful, colourful and crisp, but cold and dark autumn. So it’s nice to see where you are at on your journey, Australia looks so beautiful, and warm! I think it’s important that you show your reality with all it’s Beaty and hardships; the everyday life of a small family going about doing stuff and all that comes with it! I truly love taking part of it, thank you for the work you do!
Love a good road trip with the car jam packed!! Looking forward to seeing more diving vids from up north. Good to see Lenny is loving his ball!!
So nice to see the underwater videos again! Looking forward to the next videos
Exactly what I was going to say! I haven't been in water like that since the Galapagos in 2014, and it's easy to miss it terribly!
lovely moments with you
