- G'Day viewers!
Join me as I take my new Old Town Discovery canoe on her first overnight canoe trip up the beautiful Shoalhaven River. I build a tarp shelter, cook up some kanga steak on the fire and give this whole fishing thing another crack.
Hope you all enjoy it.

With 2 severely disabled children at home 24/7 I crave escape from my real life. Your videos give me that calm, comfort and space to think about something else rather than my life. Many thanks.
Why would you even bother hitting the dislike button on a vid like this? Well done Scotty. Great vid. Livin the dream!
just posted comment then scrolled down lmfao some fkn people hey
It’s how the algorithm works mate, there would’ve been a couple people who dislikes but the rest are automated by RUclips to keep a balance
There is something magical about rivers that run through sandstone country.
Hi Scott, Any time you are on Water, Always, Always use a Life Jacket. ALWAYS. No Exception. Your videos are brilliant. :)
You are a legend mate its a lot harder then people think to film yourself and share it with us all to enjoy. Keep it up and thank you for encouraging me to get amongst it
One of the things that make your videos so good is your ability to talk to me like I was right there with you. I stumble and ramble when the camera comes on. ENVY!
I’m loving going back and rewatching you froth over sandstone haha. There’s no one on RUclips like you ❤
I love weather. I don't care if it's sunny, overcast, raining, blowing a gale, still, clouds, cloudless, whatever, I love it all.
Thankyou, love watching you in the Aussie bush. I often watch American because not many do what you're doing in Australia.
I've been watching a lot of these solo bushcraft videos lately and something stood out to me. Even though the world is so full of people, you can still get out into nature all by yourself like it used to be hundreds and even thousands of years ago. So peaceful. Goes to show how many people prefer to stay in the comfort of the city. In California where I live, even when you go into nature, there are typically other people around. I have to go deep into desolation wilderness to get away from everyone.
Great vid as always. So nice to see the Aussie bush, so many outdoors channels are based in North America and Europe so it's nice seeing something totally different.
i am from Canada and love seeing northern American videos and even love the European videos but the Aussie videos are different, love watching
Hey Scotty. Great vid. I've seen all of your vids and can't wait to see you land your first fish! Try eating the cicadas...the females taste great..I did a vid on eating them. Loving aussie content!
Thanks mate. Glad you're enjoying them
ok i'll bite.... how do you tell the female and male cicadas apart
The males are the only ones that make noise, if you look under the abdomen there are 2 large scales on the males that make the noise, the females only have very small ones. Cheers
Thankyou so much for sharing your bushcraft - knots and tarp hacks ! Such a great addition to your already beathtraking videos 👌
I love your videos. They are top notch quality, and what a BEAUTIFUL country you live in. Just amazing. Thank you so much for showing us your country, for putting the camera on spots and holding for a second for us to enjoy. It is very evident that you love your country. It's so nice to hear you speak such glaring words about it. I love your hat.
Thanks for the canoe ride down that bueatiful river & loved the landscape also ...very relaxing
Enjoyed that mate! Scenery looks awesome
Thanks so much mate! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch one of my vids. I'm a big fan of your channel. Keep up the good work mate!
@@ScottysGoneWalkabout No worries, enjoyed it !
Daaaang! I was just thinking I’ve been watching TA for ages but never have seen an equivalent thing in Australia. Pop onto this channel (which I’m stoked to find) and then the first comment I see is from TA Outdoors. Really appreciate both you guys for having a crack and letting us in on your experiences.
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Skylar Kendrick instablaster ;)
Hi Scotty. Im from the US. Love your vids. I have an Old Town Discovery also. Mine is larger, a two man.Just a tip for your fishing- try leaving the cicada lure flooting on the surface for a bit.and twitch it a bit like a live cacada would. It would be struggleing to get back into the air and not swimming. Fish are alarmed when something isnt natural. Also when a fish strikes,set the hook harder to make sure it is embeded in its mouth so it dosent pull out when encountering an obstacle . I dont want so sound like an expert because Im not,but I have been fishing with lures for a long time and have success when imitating the moments of the creature that the lure represents. It is winter here,watching your video has me getting spring fever.Good luck and keep on enjoying the Great Outdoors. Looking foward to your next video.Thanks,hope the tip helps.
Inspired for a big year of adventure after watching this! Thanks Scotty
How 40 people gave this a thumbs down is beyond me. Great video and that Kangaroo steak looked amazing. Can't wait to watch some more of your stuff.
my own personal opinion on people who do that, simply because I cannot think of any reason why people would do it, is maybe they are competitor channels and when they upload something fresh, then maybe they sit on youtube for 5 mins thumbing down other's vids in the hopes it will greater their ranking?
Australia is a beautiful magical land. We need to start realising we can’t keep destroying it with bulldozing large swaths of bush land in outer urban areas for these large spread out housing estates with black hot tar roads and no shade, just cheap nasty McMansions one like the other. In view of the floods too people need to start building up, not across. We need to cherish and save these beautiful places. Love your film. I wish I could be there.
Scotty.......another fantastic escape from reality for us viewers. Relaxed, genuine and relatable. Mate, I know I’ve said this before but you need to consider taking some of your followers on some trips with you - maybe not in the canoe as it might be a tad crowded/unsafe but some weekend/long weekend treks in the Sydney area/basin would be gold. Charge us a nominal fee, heads up on do’s/dont’s for packs/food etc and away we go...... Happy New Year to “Scotty’s Gone Walkabouts” and look forward to many more adventures in 2019 - but get us along for the enjoyment as well...!
Hey Mark, as always, thanks for watching. Haha I know. I'll have to organise a little trip sometime with some subscribers. I'm just so used to camping solo.
One of the best produced videos I've seen. Absolutely brilliant. Keep them coming.....
Oh, solo bushcraft ... I wasn't expecting beers and a gin and tonic but really liked watching you!
I was diggin it all the way through, getting those Mathew Posa vibes when you were having trouble catching fish, feeling your inner Joe Robinet when you let us all know what beer you're drinking, until you got to cooking your dinner. It's a sly moment, you gotta keep your eyes peeled, but about half way through eating your dinner, you decide to try get a bit of sweet potato and steak on the same fork, and then go all out trying to secure that mushroom on the same utensil, and it was then, at that exact moment I decided to subscribe. That sounds like a delicious mouthful, and you're an everyday hero for reaching so close to utopia.
Keep on mate, there is something here that resonates very deeply with all of us that enjoy the bush no matter which the continent.
I just love the way the trees have colonized them sandstone cliffs. Life taking hold. Awesome time out. Mark
I love being out there on my own... such a fun thing to do.. but scary at times due to weather and what not.. but thats the fun of it..
enjoyed watching this from canada
scotty,,,you've captured the quietness of the bush great!!!! good music too
Been waiting all day for this(popped up just as I was leaving for work this morning. In UK) Well worth the wait. Thank you very much bud. A very jealous pome. Atb Dom.
Enjoyed this video. Makes me excited about doing a few similar trips when we move to Aus next year
I love being an Aussie! And watching these videos makes me even prouder!!
It’s also great knowing every word your saying! 🤙🏼
Love your content! So much inspiration to get me into the bush !!
It must be so hard for foreigners to understand us sometimes. Hahaha
@@capriciousanonymous970 yeah, its hard to understand english.................
Just came along your channel and enjoyed watching your trip. There are worse things on earth then paddling through a beautiful scenery, set up a tarp for the night, cooking a steak and yam, knock over some cold ones and throw out a line. Thanks for sharing.
By the way, great camou pattern on your canoe. Love it.
See ya.
I noticed that there seem to not be a lot of pesky flying bugs there.
What a beautiful area!
Kangaroo tail is the best,, I’m an aboriginal from northern Victoria, on the N.S.W border, love kangaroo..... keep it up man
Thanks for taking us on this journey…Amazing and beautiful!
Stunning landscape and the drone footage was a nice touch. You sir area true delight to watch your whole demeaner is fantastic.. Safe Travels
Thanks a lot mate. Really appreciate it.
Like a bloody doco mate, loved the serenity and the photography.
Hultafors! Didn't know they were that widespread. I'm from Sweden so I kinda assume our products stay mostly domestic. But it seems like the axes made by Hultafors are internationally appreciated, making it as far as literally the opposite side of the globe as well. That's cool!
Congrats on getting the nice canoe. Looking forward on seeing it used in future vids.. great scenic shots as usual.
Just keep camping barefoot... I'll watch every time!! Good video Scott!!!
Spectacular country. The views are amazing. Food looked so good. Thanks for sharing
Congratulations on being a home owner
@@patrickbryanoutside7416 Thanks mate
G'day Scotty, I've only just found your channel today and I'm mighty pleased I did, mate. It's great to see a young fella like you getting out there and getting into it on your own. Not many Aussie youtubers doing it like you are, so it's a breath of fresh air. Not many vids on this platform can hold my interest for an hour, mate, but I could have watched yours for longer, hey! Well done, mate. I look forward to seeing more as you build your channel and extend your experience.
Ps. When fishing for bass with a surface lure, slow it down a bit. When the lure hits the water, don't even move it until the ripples it makes are at least 50 - 100cm in diameter, then only twitch it a bit. This mimicks an insect hitting the water then starting to wriggle a bit as it realises it's stuck. Good luck with it, mate. Tight lines! :)
Awesome video. Thanks for making it
Great Video mate-love the dinner-better than freeze dried!
Awesome Vid! Hope you keep doing your thing. Good to see an aussie channel with this style of solo bush craft and adventure.
Takes me back to when I was a young 13 year old canoeing at Yal Wal. Just loved your video of that lovely part of NSW. Too many Crocs to do it where i live now.
Love it mate such a mellow video in beautiful country , the fish will come mate .
Cheers mate.
I have seen some amazing places on YT, but this vid just about takes the biscuit, Scotty. I am working towards doint some boat camping, restoring an old 13" boat, but the river I'll be on is not a patch on this one. I see we have a similar taste in hats too ( Akubra are the only ones that fit me ), as well as a good old G&T. I've set up a tarp tent, but not slept in it that way before. Great canoe and story behind it. Loved the vid, all the best for you in your first home.
Last time I was there was a YR12 canoe camping trip, that was over a decade ago though. Still looks great and I cannot wait to take my boys there on a canoe adventure! Great video, keep up the great work!
The Peace and tranquillity, a Fantastic setting.. can't fault it.
Really enjoyed your video from a different part of the world beautiful country. 👍👍🇨🇦
Awesome, nice to see some buchcraft and wildlife from the other side of the world - so sweet. Looking forward for more movies.
It's nice to see a fellow Aussie do an enjoyable bushcrafting video. Most Australians camping and bushcrafting channels are either 4x4 bushbashing or the more traditional Australian definition of bushcraft which is about bush tucker and grinding a survival out of berries and insects.
The quality of your content is outstanding Scotty... You really go out of your way to produce superb footage and the story flows as smoothly as the river behind you...
Don't get frustrated about the 'no fish' saga. I have a feeling you'll land one very soon, and I hope that that milestone eases into your story.
I really can't tell you how much I enjoy your work. Thanks mate. Look forward to your next trip!
Hey Nathan, thanks a lot mate. Really appreciate the kind words.
Loved it as per usual scotty.. Out of all the gear you take with you, i absolutely love that hiking bag lol. Can't wait for another video. Keep up the good work and congrats on the new house.
Great video Scott, G’day from Canada BC mate
Another ripper vid Scotty! Keep it up. Cheers
Great video mate.
Love that part of the world.
Went kayak camping there a bit over a year ago with my young fella and again just under a year ago on a solo trip.
I took a couple of days off work through the week.
Did not see a human for the three days until I was heading back.
I wish I could explain properly to people what these sought of adventures can do for the soul."amazing."
As for the fishing.
Caught a couple of Bass myself.
I used a yellowish coloured hard bodied mid range diving lure and actually caught them both from the bank.
I found best time to fish was early morning or as the sun is going down.
I found Bass a little blan for me.
"Happy trails my man" can't wait for your next video....😉
Hey Steve, good to see you taking the young fella out with you. Some of my best memories are camping with my dad. Thanks for watching mate.
I really liked this video. Canoe adventure is my think
New subscriber here and long time bushcrafter.
This video here is the first I watched from you and now I'm completely hooked.
Great narration.
Such a beautiful country and the Aussie bush is so amazing.
Thank you for your videos and looking forward to more.
Top show mate more trip’s like this one Awesome
Beautiful area...I have been canoe camping in the BWCA (northern Minnesota, US) and Quetico,CA for over 40 years. No other way to get away and explore. You can bring as little as you want or way more than you ever could backpacking. Thanks for sharing!
Great video mate. One way you can get a ground sheet in this shelter is all that space you loose at the back where it flattens out can be tucked under instead of pegged out.
In high wind you might want to leave it for structural support but generally it isn't needed.
Great video mate and I love your pack ;)
Just found this channel. Nice work mate! Iv lived in the US for the last 12 years and love watching outdoor related stuff from back home. Cheers from Tennessee.
Great video mate. From the states here, but just had to use that word, love the Aussie lingo. Lol. Beautiful place. Liking the tarp as a tent. Great job.
Awesome video! And thanks to you me and the wife just ordered some dukkah seasoning. Thanks from the US. Keep up the adventures.
Another great video Scotty. Loved the backing soundtrack 👍
Awesome camp! Absolutely beautiful location!
beautiful country there !!.........first 30 seconds i couldnt help but think of the movie "Deliverance"
Hahah the chewing sounds were strangely satisfying!! More ASMR please
06:40 here in London. This just pops up, dame it! Now I’m gonna be an hour late for work until I watch this. Awesome video.
late excuse: the A40 had its usual crap traffic this morning boss
Brilliant stuff, Thanks for sharing. love the canoe, have taken the Discovery 158 up a few rivers in England with the family - good stable built canoes.
Scotty.. great to view another walkabout in your beautiful country! I agree the Aussie bush looks ancient, and unforgiving. Cheers from US
Awesome vid mate, especially the intro. Beautiful shots of a beautiful place and perfect music choice/editing. Well done. Cool drone shots too.
nice one Scotty I enjoyed that thanks mate
Love this video, keep up the good work, best wishes from the UK.
Epic trip as usual! Welcome to the canoe camping community XD
Thanks Alexis! Glad you enjoyed it. Very stoked to be apart of the Canoe Camping Community ;)
New subscriber from Chicago, Illinois USA. Great stuff. Anybody who brings gin, tonic, and a lemon on a canoe trip is good with me!
greetings from Germany ! nice Place , top Vid...coming soon :-)
Very cool, love the bush, looks so diff. from Idaho would love to travel to Australia, when I win the Lottery LOL
I think next week's lotto in Australia is our biggest ever so if I win I'll get you a ticket to Aus. But if you win I guess I'll let you give me half of the total win
@@kettlebells-ez9xi , that sounds fair.
I imagine australia to be too hot for me. My comfort zone ends somewhere around 30 degrees in the shade.
@@martialme84 another australian RUclipsr called young bloods posted a video and a few things on Instagram and it was 48c might have to spend the day inside the fridge. Tasmania and Victoria can be quite cool weathered abit more often than the other states
@@kettlebells-ez9xi Ah yeah, makes sense that such a vast country should have an array of different climates.
Yeah, 48°... I wouldn´t be much use to anyone at those kinds of temperatures.
I can function pretty ok down to 25 or 30 below 0 if i have enough food with high energy density available, but above +27 or +30... I´m out. ^^
Just earned yourself another sub mate and great see another aussie creating awesome videos ....used to live down that part of the country and may have to come back and check out that amazing spot 😊👌
Awesome! I finally found an Aussie camping/bushcrafting channel! I'm in WA and unfortunately we don't have any rivers where I am. I miss canoe trips! Great video!
Great video Scotty, very enjoyable :-)
Kangaroo steak with mushrooms and a sweet potato? washed down with a gin and tonic(with a twist of lemon), now that's living!
Never had a kangaroo steak but judging by how good it looked, I'm sure it was pretty tasty. Finished off with a good sleep by the river.....
Your videography and editing is really coming along nicely!
Nature is the best ❤
@32:39 .. sounds like a 'Yowie' letting you know its in the area mate lol. Just a thought, when you were playing with your tucker, sorry, preparing your steak, if you arent going to cook in the pan, dont use it. Bung the 'Dukka' and oil into the bag the steak was in and coat the steak that way. Less mess and fuss. You have a well stocked tucker bag cobber, great to see....and have you ever tried cooking ON a rock?.. You have lots of good sized ones there,, mayhaps give it a crack next time.. Even less cleaning up :)... and yes, you use the rock as your plate as well. Great scenery cobber. Happy Birthday for 'december', . Looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers for sharing, Hooroo for now ;)
Shut up
That was an outstanding video to fill in my Sunday morning. Happy belated 30th birthday. Don't give up on the fishing. If you keep casting that line, I'm sure you will land a fish, before your 40th. Maybe you should add a rod holder to the canoe. Then you can drag a lure as you paddle from A to B.
Well done video . So much to see from traveling a river . Serene .
another great video Scotty... what a beautiful place....love the canoe and drone footage
Thanks Vicki :)
this shit is absolutely inspiring for people who want to go camping but lack motivation. Hard yakka but the reward is worth it.
Keep up the good work mate. Awesome.
mate! that place is magic
Gona start calling you Ausie Joe now you have a canoe. Nice vid.
Wow, what a beautiful place. Really enjoyed this video. Canoeing much under-appreciated in this country. I love my canoe and the places it can take me, most people just don't get it. Great video, hope to see more like this.
Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Once I had a Old Town Discovery. Fine canoe for solo paddling. But changed it for a Scott Echo 14 ft. made by Abitibi & Cie in Quebec. I like 14 ft canoes. Lighter than a 16 ft of course, can charge 600 lbs and great for one or two paddlers.
Life doesn’t get much better than this
Awesome place, beautiful county. Thanks!
You are crazy going anywhere in Australia on your own…much braver than me!
Many thanks Scotty for this great video. Only people who likes doing a solo know what that means. I lived a few years in Tassie. The bush looks so much different in NSW. Sure it is a Lucky Country. At the time of writing this I am somewhere in Hong Kong where the air pollution has become so bad that I had to wear a mask during my morning walk today! Keep up the good work, please.
I lived in North Nowra for a year when I was a kid, it was amazing our property had bush land directly behind it that ended on the cliffs of the Shoalhaven...magic! Your vid gave me happy reminiscing ..i just subscribed!
