I Tried Living Off My Garden… Then Discovered THIS Was Illegal

This started as a simple off-grid experiment — living in my bus and eating only from my own garden — but it quickly turned into a crash course in Australian wildlife laws I didn’t even know existed. In this episode, I take you through the real story of how I almost ended up facing massive fines (and even potential prison time) all because of a few creatures I found right here on my own property: the bush turkey tearing up the garden, the goanna I nearly cooked before learning it’s protected, and finally the mysterious snail that turned out to be part of a much bigger saga. This video isn’t just a wild bush yarn — it’s a warning for anyone who wants to live off the land in Australia. I share what I learned, how close I came to making a life-changing mistake, and how to avoid the same traps. Join me for the full journey: the chaos, the close calls, the laughs… and the surprising truth about what you can and can’t eat from your own backyard.
