This is how to croc-proof your camp in the Top End, with 8 survival rules that keep salties off your swag, your boat, and the people you brought with you. If you are heading north to fish or camp anywhere in crocodile country, from the Northern Territory and Kakadu to the Kimberley and Cape York, this is the honest version of croc safety that nobody tells you at the boat ramp. We cover where saltwater crocodiles actually hunt, why "it's fresh water, so it's safe" is the myth that gets people killed, and exactly what to do in the first few seconds if the worst happens. Former ranger Mick Dawson walks you through the 8 rules that matter: Where to pitch camp, and the distance from the water that does more than anything else How to stop your camp teaching crocs that people mean an easy feed Why being predictable at the water's edge is what gets you ambushed The real pattern behind who actually dies in croc country Eyes, distance and a torch: surviving the water's edge after dark Why you never feed, photograph, or try to move a saltie The gear and old bush yarns that do not work, and the free habits that do How to survive a crocodile attack, including the death roll, and the first aid that is the exact opposite of snakebite You will also learn why a saltwater crocodile is just as at home hundreds of kilometres up a freshwater river, the truth behind the crocs at Cahill's Crossing, and the real story of Val Plumwood, who survived three death rolls on the East Alligator River in 1985. Camping, fishing and life on the road in the Australian bush is one of the best things going.
