Cheers mate, thanks heaps for watching and commenting! Appreciate it. Plenty more videos to come this year

Cheers thanks mate! haha yeah I wish I could bring my dog out with me. Unfortunatly our national park rules are so stricked when it comes to dogs. State forests allow dogs to enter, but here in Vic they want to turn most of our state forests into national parks .. which would just mean more freedoms taken away. Otherwise it really was refreshing to the soul to get out here.

@TheBeardedBushranger Well I'm glad you have a 🐕. I live in Victoria (Frankganistan ☠️) but had no idea the rules were that strict, when animals aren't allowed in nature but humans are (we're the only ones destroying everything) and that's supposed to be for the good? Makes me scratch my head, golly gosh couldn't have a dog taking a dump in the scrub (even though they bury their own faeces).that actually makes me quite mad 😐. I've lived a hard life, I'm 48 and spent 20 of those years homeless, on the streets, jail stints you name it, but these days I have a home I have a life and am working toward getting my licence back after 16 years and all I want to do is take my 🐕 fishing, camping, exploring this beautiful country so I'll make sure I do my homework first because I can't afford to get into any more trouble. Thanks for the heads up and thanks for replying to my text mate 👍🏾. I will continue to support you in your adventures (and I'm sorry your best mate can't always be there with you). What kind of dog do you have? And could you do an adventure with your 🐕 in it?

@@juliancornelius3682 Good to hear that you're no longer homeless mate, as well as a dog to call your friend. It's really good for the spirit to get out there outdoors, and even better when you bring your dog. Still plenty of state forest camp grounds you can go to. I have 2 dogs at our farm, a border collie called Bodhi and a Kelpie called Bingo. If you look at my vids I actually have a vid where I camp with the kelpie here on our farm in a little bark hut I built. THanks again for watching and commenting! Hopefully you will get your license back soon!

@@TheBeardedBushranger that exact vid came up before and I was going to watch it tonight after 'Skyfall ', so looking forward to it. Bodhi and Bingo hey 👋 and my boy is Bluey (yes his previous owners named a male Golden Labrador after a female Blue Healer Cartoon!, well their 4yr old did and that's cute 😄). Anyway am looking forward to watching all your vids as have only watched the one and I really appreciate your well wishes mate. Thanks and take care TheBeardedBushranger.

Yeah not a bad idea. I'd like to return on a really rainy day and do a big cook up in the cave.

That sounds great mate! It would of felt more wild in those days as well. Surely a whole lot less people up there, and only the very keen! Sometimes I think all our modern gear makes us a bit softer.

That's a good pick. I had thought they were just yellow crested cockatoos.

Yeah I remember a few years ago we had snow up in the mountains on Christmas!

Cheers mate.

Wouldn't be a bad set up! Thanks for watching.

haha I had to look that up.

Thanks mate. Yeah I've heard this one as well! Often dogs would come in handy as well and sleep next to mobs to keep them warm.

First night it was ok at the opening, as the smoke was getting blown out fine. Only issue was I was in a bit of a wind chill. Moving to the back of the cave to be warmer the next night, I had a heap of smoke, but when I kept my head low I was able to keep out of it.

Yeah hopefully when trout season opens up again I'll be able to do some more survival challenges and get some trout

Thanks for joining up!

awesome mate. I had read up in NSW is where skiing was very first introduced to Australia.

Wholemeal or multigrain ... because no one should be eating whitebread 😆

Thanks for watching. Yeah our hardwoods are bloody tough. I'll be doing some more survival vids this winter as well so stay tuned.

Thank you very much for watching and your comment! It's a great country.

Great to hear, I was there about 2 years ago and I reckon the blackberries were worse then .. so it's cleared up a bit.

Yeah it's a great way to camp. Thanks for watching.

@@michaelrohloff3679 early days in Australia Rum was basically a currency

A few folks have been upset about that. I guess I'm not really a health food channel ... I do enjoy a few snacks here and there. I love learning about sustainable living and ways of being, but I'm not too preachy about it. Otherwise thanks for watching.

Cheers thanks.

haha they were a great motivation to get back to the car

Yeah they work great as a ground sheet as well. But you are right, perfect for something water proof and wind proof and great as an extra blanket. I should of chucked it on top of me rather then wear it.

Thanks mate

@@TheBeardedBushranger deserved 🙏

EDIT for my Fanenhight friends, Australia winters can go from -1 degrees celcius up to alot lower in the high snow mountains, but then it can get into the 35-48 degrees celcius also. It is winter here, but it was 38 degrees celcius in Darwin 2 days ago. Where I live in melbourne, it has been an average of -2 to + 6 degrees celcius. I have had to use my heater alot, I am a winter person, but it has been very cold where I am living atm. No insulation in the walls.

Thanks for watching mate. Yeah and the thing about Victoria is 1. The homes in Melbourne are notoriously known as some of the coldest in the world (based to insulation and design) 2. Our snow often has a higher risk of hypoterhmia, because it sits at that 0.c to 1.c temps, the snow gets wet and mushy, which means you are more likely to get soaked, which means being wet in the cold .. higher risk of hypothermia

Cheers Frank from Sydney

Yeah I love that place.

That was part of the challenge

Cheers thanks for watching.

Yeah I would love to learn more about it. It's such a big part of Australian history that it makes sense to learn a little more about gold prospecting! I will have a look at the victorian gold hunters.

@TheBeardedBushranger the Gold miner as aboriginal heritage, and his grandfather was a minor. I also built a rocker box. Also go to your local library. The north east library have. A DVD. History of Bucklands Valley, by heritage rat. There a little taste on RUclips. Look at heritage rat

@TheBeardedBushranger vo-gas is a great one to learn about panning. Check out a few of his videos, like bataer pan. It like a Chinaman's hat. Also, make a snuffers bottle out of a $2 shop, sauce bottle, and a metal drinking straw. Get a pan, and in summer, if you want, meet me on reedy,s Creek. I show you how easy it is to find gold. Also, I point you in a bush camp where there is lots of gold history. Test pits, mines, where stamper was with the white snow of quartz laying around.

@@RustyCandyAdventures Mate that would be fantastic. I'd be up for that. I watch some of the tassie guys who go looking for Gold. But I love the history in Vicco and the old fellas who used the pans. Reedy creek aint too far away as well.

Haha everytime! We Aussies don't really know what deep deep snow is

For sure, get into it. We have so much to offer here in Vic

Thanks!

A really interesting read is the book Folklore of Australia .. also the Bush by Don watson is a great place to start.
