Could You Survive Isolated in the Wilderness?

Could you live in isolation for the rest of your life? Somewhere with no road access, no shops, no neighbours. Melaleuca in Port Davey is deep within Tasmania's wilderness. Australia's most southern state. Here, the weather is just as wild as the landscape; Southern Ocean winds, relentless rain, freezing winters, that turn this beautiful wilderness into a harsh and unforgiving place to survive. Yet one family chose to call it home. We’ve just sailed here aboard our 34-foot yacht. Enjoying the episodes? Becoming a Patron enables us to ensure the continuity of Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama. A little goes a long way to keep this production alive. With very little free time between uni and the boat, Patreon enables us to focus on creating and posting videos rather than pouring beers at our local.
