Sythe in the bush

That's insane, I'm sure most of us commenting would happily come live with you. xx

Oy, don't get attacked by a pack of 'roos, mate!

This is actually pretty fuckin inspiring, Sythe.

A friend and I built a little cabin a couple miles into the bush away from town that we go to fish and get away on weekends. Try find running water to generate additional electricity.

Also this might be of interest to you; food that regrows itself. http://www.buzzfeed.com/arielknutson/vegetables-that-magically-regrow-themselvesI do this at home with a few different greens and I must say it's pretty handy. I never have to pay for green onions. Ballin.

If you can, try make a fish farm. It'd be fairly low maintainence (once its finished) for a nice supply of fish. And chickens of course...

Pork is unhealthy lol - whats your main motivation for hogs? aside from bacon of course.. I hear they can be pretty handy for cleaning up. [lock stock]

GL growing dank.

What do you do during an average day? Do you have any other sources of revenue besides Sythe? I understand you won't need much of it but... is it sustainable?

Any updates man? Would love to see some more pics

[Moes]

[The Fat Controller]

This is awesome Sythe. Keep updating.

What problems or annoyances have there been aside from the fires?

 

[Feelgewd]

[Grave]

My friends and I have tried doing what you're doing and it's a lot harder than people think. Kudos for actually doing it.

 

[Donald Duck]

Really interesting Am interested in future updates Sounds like a good life out there.

 

There was a fire right up to our boundary. We're talking with RFS (fire service) about a fire mgmt plan for the property. Hopefully they'll recommend and help with some hazard reduction burns.

We're also hopefully getting our private road fixed next week.

Not much else we can do until it's safe. Bush fire season here can be serious business.

How many acres are covered by bushland? You said it was just outside of Coffs, right? Is it fire season at the moment?

What's currently wrong with the private road?

We're near tenterfield. Bushfire season has just started. Sept-Jan is typical. Most of the property is bush/open forest.

Hasn't been maintained for about 30 years.

There are no bears in Australia silly.

If I catch a kangaroo I'll put up a video of me skinning and butchering it for steaks if you like.

And ill report for gore.

Jokes aside
Seriously you must have the absolute COOLEST gf ever to be cool with all this. What are you going to farm, also what are your plans for protien? Have you looked into trapping?

Oh ok nice, tenterfield is like a 3-4 hour drive from me, I should make the trip out one time and take a look, if you're keen. Bush fire season is a pretty scary thing in Australia, I would understand you're a bit worried. What preventions do they fire crew advise? from my knowledge, it's really inevitable though? right? What are the plans for the road? how long is it?
