RV FEATURE WE CAN JUST LIVE OFF THE LAND! Look… this one can be a touchy subject with some of the men in the travelling community (ha ha). In a perfect world, we’d all love to catch fresh seafood every day – it just doesn’t happen and in most cases it isn’t for a lack of trying. Don’t let your spirits dampen if you have weeks of no luck. Some places are just more fished out than others. MORE MISCONCEPTIONS Here are more of the misconceptions fellow travellers have shared with us – can you relate to any? 1 “We thought we’d never have any issues with power” – regarding solar variations in different states and weather conditions. 2 “We thought we’d be able to free-camp as long as we wanted” – regarding the limitations a lot of free camps have on your stay. 3 “We thought we’d have plenty of camps all to ourselves” – regarding the amount of people actually out there travelling to the same locations. 4 “We thought internet reception was better around Australia” – regarding obtaining a connection to get online work and schooling completed in more remote areas. 5 “We thought ‘bloggers’ made money to travel” – regarding keeping up with the efforts required to run their own blogs and not receiving any ‘kick-backs’ in their time travelling. I can just go fishing and feed my family for free, right? 32 \
