This week on Less Ordinary, we sit down with one of the loosest Aussie blokes going. FIFO worker, massive loans, no money and an unhealthy obsession with chasing big mulloway. 😂We dive into the highs and lows of FIFO life, countless hours spent chasing Jewfish, and how you can live a bloody good life without having it all figured out financially. Because at the end of the day, happiness isn’t about how much money you’ve got in the bank — it’s about how you spend your time, the people around you and making the most of the life you’ve built.A raw, honest and hilarious chat about fishing, money, work and finding happiness living life on your own terms.Another episode proving you don’t need to have it all together to live a life worth living.

This week on Less Ordinary, we sit down with John Midaka from Daiwa to hear the story behind one of the most recognisable soft plastics in fishing — the BaitJunkie prawn.John takes us through how he came up with the original concept, 3D printed his ideas and used his own skills, creativity and innovation to turn an idea into a job in fishing product development.We get into the design process behind the BaitJunkie, the thinking that goes into developing fishing tackle, John’s own fishing adventures and a deep dive into all things Daiwa.A great insight into what happens behind the scenes of the fishing industry and how passion, innovation and a bit of outside-the-box thinking can turn an idea into something special.Tune in for EP 65 of Less Ordinary! 🎣

4x4 camping and touring in Australia has come a long way. From basic setups and old-school bush trips to fully built rigs, rooftop tents, lithium batteries, Starlink and everything in between — the way we explore Australia has completely changed.In this episode, we look at how 4x4 touring has evolved, what’s made it so popular, and whether we’re making camping better or just making it more complicated. We dive into the gear, the culture, the accessibility and the changing landscape of camping across Australia — and take a look at what the future of 4x4 touring might look like.Are we heading towards smarter, more capable setups, or are we slowly moving away from what made camping so good in the first place?A yarn about 4x4s, camping, touring, technology and where it all goes from here.

Fishing has come a long way — from reading the water and trusting your gut, to live sonar, high-resolution sounders, electric reels, advanced mapping and technology that can practically tell you where the fish are.But have we reached a point where there’s simply too much technology in fishing?In this episode, we dive into how technology has changed the way we fish, whether it’s making us better anglers or taking some of the skill and mystery out of the game, and where we think fishing technology is heading next.Has technology levelled the playing field, or are we reaching a critical mass where the gear is starting to do too much of the work?Another big conversation from the Less Ordinary crew — plenty of opinions, plenty of fishing talk, and probably a few arguments along the way.Less Ordinary — fishing, mates, stories and everything in between.
