I absolutely love these videos because it makes me feel like I’m little again, I have no idea what any of the plants or animals are and it makes me so excited to learn them.
Hi, Scotty. Another great vid mate. I also showed dad this one & he said that he has been to the old stone hut. So i asked him who was it that use to live there? Dad said it was a bloke by the name of Fletcher & he built it back in the 1940's & he lived there for quite sometime, he actually died in that area. He was suppose to be prospecting in the area, but of cause he never found anything. Then dad told me that his dad (my grandfather) was one of the members in the search party that went looking for him as, it had been a while since anyone had heard from him. Apparently some of the locals new the old fellow was ill. They found him partly laying in the water dead, they seem to think, due to the positioning of his body that, he was trying to have a drink. Thanks for your vids mate.
I live in SA these days..drier...lots of mallee scrub. Watching your videos has me super nostalgic. So similar to my Pop's block of bush, overlooking the national park. (Grandfather.) He passed away when I was young. Miss him. He and my Nan got married during ww2.
The mount lofty ranges and the fleurieu are very wet, almost rainforest like in some spots with tall ribbon barks and yalti trees. Edit: In fact nigh on identical to the country where he is!
Man, I found one of you NZ videos and subscribed. Was blown away. Coming to be beginning a d watching from the start, it's bloody amazing to see how far you have come. I am really enjoying the content. Thank you.
Another beauty Scotty. The trees in your corner of the globe are awesome looking. Hammocking, would def be my choice there as well, too many creepy crawlies down your way.
There's a few of these huts? scattered through the Blue mountains "swaggies" from the 1930's .A lot of lost building skills,all part of our heritage.Like your work.
Did a bit of research for you seems the old guy was a WW1 veteran that just couldn't cope with life after. Great vid mate you have inspired me to plan another trip up to your neck of the woods with my kids along the Blue Mountains this time I think.
Oh is that right? Very interesting. Where abouts did you read that? I would love to read up on it. Yeah the Blue Mountains have some cracking spots. Enjoy!
Scotty thanks for showing me some of Australia. I live in Montana, USA, and I've always wanted to visit you all down under, but won't happen so thanks to you I get to see it anyway
Another great hike & video. Fab watching. Great drink too, lol. DD tarps are great; the travel hammock is the best! Another good tarp, with better attachment points is Alpkit's Rig 7 tarp. One thing about your hammock system - tree hugger straps VITAL.
Another GREAT Video Scotty, thanks for all the effort you put in and I see you have some great gear!!! I get mine from Survival Supplies Australia. They have a great range of gear, from blades/cooking/food/accessories, great for the Aussie outdoors, on the web!! Thanks again for another great video, very inspirering!
Great video mate, I've been looking for a channel like this for ages. If you already do this, that great. I'm just sharing some knowledge passed down to me for those who are interested. When I go on country after we clear camp and before we set up, we always have a smoking ceremony which involves being bare foot, washing the smoke over ourselves and sweeping the ground we are camping on with the smoking green gum branches/leaves. It's a way to pay respect to the old fellahs and give thanks for land to camp on, clear yourself of negative energy and it gets rid of the ants, spiders and other crawling bugs.
Hey mate, yeah a quick welcome to country ceremony is great I reckon. It's something that we should all do when we go to a new area, whether we're indigenous or not. It's great to keep the spirit of the land alive. When I go camping with my mates, we've started doing this, but it's something I neglect to do in my vids as I can imagine I'd get a lot of people saying I'm not aboriginal and so shouldn't be doing it. But like I said, indigenous or not, it's great to acknowledge the country your on. Maybe it's something I should start doing.
@@ScottysGoneWalkabout that's good mate, it's a mark of respect no matter who you are and I'm glad you show that respect. You can do just a simple smoking, just to pay respect and let the old fellahs know you mean no harm. A welcome to country is different. Reach out and have a chat to some Elders or a ranger and do some research about the Country/Nation you are going to and you will be right mate.
Is that a golden orb spider? Think I saw some in cairns in the bush when I went a few(many moons!) ago. That dry stone walling looked amazing. There's a definite art to doing that stuff. Here in Britain we have them all over the country. They divide fields for farmers. It always amazes me when I see them. Cos they sometimes go on for days. The patience it must take to do is astounding. Anyway. Sweet vid mate. Thanks. Atb Dom.
I know this comment is old, but yes, definitely a golden orb spider. They get massive up in North Queensland, like hand span huge! Very common and relatively harmless. Still wouldn’t want one drawing on me though!
Nice to see the country, and it brings back memories of my youth (nearing 75 now) Funny how you have Paper Bark Trees and we have Birch Bark here in Michigan USA it works the same, for starting fires, Looking forward to more, Missed your hat..did you forget it ?
Cheers mate. No, I didn't forget it. I chose not to bring it as I knew there would be a lot of bush bashing, in which case a hat can get very annoying as it's constantly being knocked off. Thanks for watching mate.
Thanks for taking us to down under.I live in Pennsylvania USA And think I would love Australia Maybe expect for the snakes. Are you constantly looking for Snakes , I would be Always on the alert ! Bless you and thanks again.
Snakes, spiders, scorpions, centipedes. ...the usual. ..and flash floods/ bushfires. If you go out bush exploring, travel with a country local, you'll be right. Don't travel Solo. This lads taking an educated gamble with his life. He clearly knows some solid basics.
Golden Orb spider - they've been *everywhere* in Brisbane this summer. Some sort of bumper year for them it would seem. Often they'll build massive webs at face height along suburban streets, but if you look up in the trees... well, just don't look up in the trees.
wish u had some tree trunk protectors.... I mean it's not like you'll ever hurt the tree but in some situations you might need to hook up to a thinner tree maybe..... great channel Scotty have a gin for me - syd aus.
I'm glad your channel got recommended to me. I love Australian nature. I notice you just kind of trample your way through the brush. I'm in the U.S. and the documentaries we get to see about the Australian bush portrays is as a deathly place full of dangerous animals. Is this exaggerated or are you just crazy?! LOL Love the videos. The editing is great and the views are awesome. Most of the trees look like they were drawn by Dr. Seuss!
Hey mate, fellow Aussie here and love the channel. I’m currently travelling Aus too so getting great content here... Got a question though, who’s the artist of the music you use? Would love to add it to my playlist... Cheers!
Great video, Scotty! Nice campsite with a ready-made couch, too. You're very fortunate to have such an area for a "walkabout" as in my area near the Appalachian Trail, literally thousands of people are on the trails. They are either through hikers, locals, or tourists. Washington, D.C. is not far from the AT so we get tourists from all over the world. What's really tragic is that not all practice LNT, leaving their trash behind and not following the rules of trail etiquette when it pertains to the subject of toiletry. Animal scat is just natural but human waste...disgusting. I know it's not the dedicated through hikers, bushcrafters or the local sectional hikers. It's those tourists who are out for the day and come ill prepared. Sorry, Scotty. Anyway, this is the second video of yours I've watched and once again, great videography and content. Such an incredible area and no one close by. I hope to find an area like that in the Monongahela National Forest of West Virginia my next trip there. I noticed that you drank directly from the river...no issues with giardia or other bacteria? Do you have a patreon account? I love to contribute to YT guys like you who offer us quality videos either monetary or gear gifts for you to try out, possibly review. Great work, Scotty!
Hi mate. New subscriber, just wondering where you got the hammock from and how much. Good to see some more Aussie content in the bushcraft scene. Great video, mate. Look forward to the next one.
Have you tried quick oats as a camping food? They only need boiled water, cover, let sit for a few minutes and done. Add dried berries (I buy fresh, in season berries on clearance and dry out of direct sunlight in well ventilated spot at home, just placed in stainless steel sieve, for air flow. Aussie summer heat isn't all bad. You can dry them in the car too. Just keep them covered with a clean teatowel. Makes the car smell great as an added bonus.) For $1 black and gold brand quick oats are a great buy. Useful for Anzac buscuits too...great hiking food.
I would never walk in the bush without pants, because of the snakes. We have a very similar enviroment in some places in central Brazil, with many species of poisonous snakes and spiders.
Love camping by the lakes or water.... I see you also wore your lucky grey socks and those boots I also love.... the ONLY THING about your video's is that word you use A LOT... "yeah".... kind of gets on ones nerves but all and all great watching your vids!!!
haha I've never realised I say 'yeah' so much. Perhaps it's an Aussie thing. We tend to use unnecessary words sometimes. A common Aussie saying for when you want to say no to something is 'yeah, nah'. Don't ask me why but a lot of Aussies do it haha. Or perhaps it's the fact that I'm still trying to get used to being in front of a camera. It definately doesn't come natural to me. But glad you're enjoying the vids mate.
Do you not have giardia in Australia? I cannot drink straight out of just about any water source here in the states without some pretty serious regrets a short while later....
We do have giardia, though this river I am drinking from has no agriculture or urban run off. I have drank from it unfiltered many times and have never been sick. Fingers cross it stays that way. But I do still filter it when filling up my bottle. It all depends on the location.
Ok what I did was head to the National archives and opened up all the Sydney papers and all the local papers from 1900 to 1980 I used the name Toddy/ hut/hermit in the search bars going through a year at a time and came up with a story about WW1 vets who came home and became hermits which seemed to be a lot of them anyway long story short Toddy was mentioned, all I got was the article and was all I was looking for.
Gavin McLean oh nice mate. Great research. I'll have to have a look myself. That does sound about right. Near where I live there are some remnants of old shacks that were built, I once heard they were built by returned soldiers after the war so this sounds on point. Thanks for letting me know mate. Love a bit of history.
The person who built the hut is Todd Sloane of the Rucksack Club (formerly The Hikers Club of Sydney). Todd was still active in the 1950’s source: www.david-noble.net/blog/?p=12453
Michael O'Mahony Hey mate, yeah the biggest dangers would be a snake or spider bite, in my area there are plenty of deadly snakes. Or injuring myself bad enough that I can't walk out. But I carry compression bandages as well as a personal locator beacon should I need to call for help.
Found your channel, a queenslander here and sits back quietly in a rainforest gorge not more than an hour from Mackay.If the tech was available to me when I was a young whipper snapper like yourself I would be creating this stuff too. Cool find that stone ruins. I don't use instagram or facebook but from your most recent video I would like to invite you to my part of OZ for an adventure.
Great vids! but ... why don't you tell em that Gum trees DO drop perfectly healthy limbs even when it's still and no radical temp fluctuations? A lot of people have died that way. even sitting in a car parked under a Gum tree! That's one very good reason NOT to hammock in Oz. Just say'in. ;-)
I absolutely love these videos because it makes me feel like I’m little again, I have no idea what any of the plants or animals are and it makes me so excited to learn them.
Hi, Scotty. Another great vid mate. I also showed dad this one & he said that he has been to the old stone hut. So i asked him who was it that use to live there? Dad said it was a bloke by the name of Fletcher & he built it back in the 1940's & he lived there for quite sometime, he actually died in that area. He was suppose to be prospecting in the area, but of cause he never found anything.
Then dad told me that his dad (my grandfather) was one of the members in the search party that went looking for him as, it had been a while since anyone had heard from him.

Thanks for your vids mate.
Loving your channel mate. Great idea to set up an aussie bushcraft/bush camping channel. Love the idea. Keep up the great work
I live in SA these days..drier...lots of mallee scrub. Watching your videos has me super nostalgic. So similar to my Pop's block of bush, overlooking the national park. (Grandfather.) He passed away when I was young. Miss him. He and my Nan got married during ww2.
The mount lofty ranges and the fleurieu are very wet, almost rainforest like in some spots with tall ribbon barks and yalti trees.
Edit: In fact nigh on identical to the country where he is!
Man, I found one of you NZ videos and subscribed. Was blown away. Coming to be beginning a d watching from the start, it's bloody amazing to see how far you have come. I am really enjoying the content. Thank you.
Your a natural in front of the camera and behind it ... Great work, ,, awesome camp site and set up
Another beauty Scotty. The trees in your corner of the globe are awesome looking. Hammocking, would def be my choice there as well, too many creepy crawlies down your way.
There's a few of these huts? scattered through the Blue mountains "swaggies" from the 1930's .A lot of lost building skills,all part of our heritage.Like your work.
One of my favourite channels! The cinematography is a amazing.
the hermit hut was pretty neat. loved the view from your campsite. Thanks for taking us along!
Always love your videos Scotty. Beautiful area there , looking forward to more videos in the future mate. 👍
I like the tarp and hammock setup. Good stuff.
Did a bit of research for you seems the old guy was a WW1 veteran that just couldn't cope with life after. Great vid mate you have inspired me to plan another trip up to your neck of the woods with my kids along the Blue Mountains this time I think.
Oh is that right? Very interesting. Where abouts did you read that? I would love to read up on it. Yeah the Blue Mountains have some cracking spots. Enjoy!
Great videos, good to get some tips for the bush, nice to have local knowledge
Good work mate, perfect for the mind and soul out there
Scotty thanks for showing me some of Australia. I live in Montana, USA, and I've always wanted to visit you all down under, but won't happen so thanks to you I get to see it anyway
another great vid Scotty.... thanks
Thanks Vicki!
Another great hike & video. Fab watching. Great drink too, lol. DD tarps are great; the travel hammock is the best! Another good tarp, with better attachment points is Alpkit's Rig 7 tarp. One thing about your hammock system - tree hugger straps VITAL.
Oh great. I'll have to look into Alpkit. Your right, I've been meaning to get some tree hugger traps. A lot less impact on the tree.
Another GREAT Video Scotty, thanks for all the effort you put in and I see you have some great gear!!! I get mine from Survival Supplies Australia. They have a great range of gear, from blades/cooking/food/accessories, great for the Aussie outdoors, on the web!! Thanks again for another great video, very inspirering!
Loving the channel and content! Making my way through your library! Cheers!
Bloody cracking spot mate. Thanks for the vid.
Hey Scotty, have you ever tried adding half a teaspoon of Keens mustard powder to your scrambled eggs. Bellissimo.
Hi there, Im from Perth and have always wanted to learn more about bush tucker, learnt so much already from you, keep up the gr8 work. Cherri )
just subbed..greetings from the Philippines! awesome vid man keep em coming.
Once again nice vid. Keep them coming. Good style
Cheers mate!

🏞️ THAT HUT REMAINS WERE COOL 😎
Just found your channel! I too love to bush bash. Looking for tips. Really enjoyed your video. Great job mate.
One word awesomeness
Good onya mate, you're getting better :-)
カッコいい…！とても勉強になりました！✨
very nice movies★

I know this comment is old, but yes, definitely a golden orb spider. They get massive up in North Queensland, like hand span huge! Very common and relatively harmless. Still wouldn’t want one drawing on me though!
Golden orb. You can tell by the colour of it's web, which is golden

Nah don't listen to her just wing it ay!!!
Great vid just found your channel keep up the good work
Enjoy your time buddy
Parabéns amigo. Seu bioma é fantástico.
Enjoyed. Since you like broccoli,” might” want to try breaking some up small & add to scrambled eggs. 👍 good stuff
Golden Orb spider - they've been *everywhere* in Brisbane this summer. Some sort of bumper year for them it would seem. Often they'll build massive webs at face height along suburban streets, but if you look up in the trees... well, just don't look up in the trees.
haha thanks mate. Yeah they're a pretty sketchy looking spider, especially when you have dozens of them covering a track.
love these vids bro
Adventures With Luke thanks a lot dude!
wish u had some tree trunk protectors.... I mean it's not like you'll ever hurt the tree but in some situations you might need to hook up to a thinner tree maybe..... great channel Scotty have a gin for me - syd aus.
Not going to lie, the mosi at 20:21 made me swat my right ear.
I'm glad your channel got recommended to me. I love Australian nature. I notice you just kind of trample your way through the brush.

LOL Love the videos. The editing is great and the views are awesome. Most of the trees look like they were drawn by Dr. Seuss!
Man, that camp was perfect-looking. All you needed was a pristine spring bubbling some fresh water for you.
Excellent production, Scott. Cheers.
Hey mate, fellow Aussie here and love the channel. I’m currently travelling Aus too so getting great content here... Got a question though, who’s the artist of the music you use? Would love to add it to my playlist... Cheers!
Love the sandstone country ... Is that on the Woronora River?
Can’t believe someone carried a bag of cement all the way out there what a machine
Apart from overuse the words ‘pretty cool’ I thought that was a pretty cool vid 😁. Thanks for sharing your trips 👍
Very peaceful, the morning, that bird singing in the background.....real Australian. Did you go for a swim?
Not a garden orb, it's a Golden Orb from the golden colour of its web. I get heaps of them here in Kalgoorlie !
Great video, Scotty! Nice campsite with a ready-made couch, too.

Can you tell me something about the music that was chosen when
you were able to relax with your gin beverage....? I thoroughly enjoy your videos!
Its a Golden Orb Spider Scotty.
Golden orb.

You are right Golden Orb spider
Another great bushwalk and camp Scotty, thanks! Loved the Tody's hermit hut as well. Was this south of Sydney again, along coastal ranges?
Thanks a lot mate. Yeah southern Sydney again.
Another BEAR BURRITO for Yogi Bear.
I would never walk in the bush without pants, because of the snakes. We have a very similar enviroment in some places in central Brazil, with many species of poisonous snakes and spiders.
Nice.

I swear I've camped here before, is it not too far north of Brisbane?
I'm guessing bow lines and clove hitches??
Do you not have giardia in Australia? I cannot drink straight out of just about any water source here in the states without some pretty serious regrets a short while later....
We do have giardia, though this river I am drinking from has no agriculture or urban run off. I have drank from it unfiltered many times and have never been sick. Fingers cross it stays that way. But I do still filter it when filling up my bottle. It all depends on the location.
G'day from Tasmania mate.. Are you in west Australia or Queensland?
Hey mate, I'm actually from NSW. Thanks for watching!
Billy poppin
Scoty do you see many ferral animals on your hikes ?
limited vocab. pretty cool.
Golden Orb weaver
👍🇦🇺
Crazy with shorts!! In all the videos I've seen, great content but add a little protection and get some breatheable light weight pants!
Ok what I did was head to the National archives and opened up all the Sydney papers and all the local papers from 1900 to 1980 I used the name Toddy/ hut/hermit in the search bars going through a year at a time and came up with a story about WW1 vets who came home and became hermits which seemed to be a lot of them anyway long story short Toddy was mentioned, all I got was the article and was all I was looking for.

Pardon my ignorance but are there not dangers out there alone?
Michael O'Mahony Hey mate, yeah the biggest dangers would be a snake or spider bite, in my area there are plenty of deadly snakes. Or injuring myself bad enough that I can't walk out. But I carry compression bandages as well as a personal locator beacon should I need to call for help.
Ok, I'll worry less now when I watch. Great videos, fascinating to a guy from New Hampshire. Love to go there someday.
To put it simply, Danger is ignorance itself!
where is this?
these are great vids bro but tell us where you're hiking ;) ps its a golden orb
Joel Woodcroft did a bit of research and it’s a national park some 30 ks out of Sydney I think the name may have been woroona park
Found your channel, a queenslander here and sits back quietly in a rainforest gorge not more than an hour from Mackay.If the tech was available to me when I was a young whipper snapper like yourself I would be creating this stuff too. Cool find that stone ruins. I don't use instagram or facebook but from your most recent video I would like to invite you to my part of OZ for an adventure.
Mate you never put salt in ur food 😊
Great vids! but ... why don't you tell em that Gum trees DO drop perfectly healthy limbs even when it's still and no radical temp fluctuations? A lot of people have died that way. even sitting in a car parked under a Gum tree! That's one very good reason NOT to hammock in Oz.
Just say'in. ;-)
Did he drink the f-ing water?!
Yes. I've drank from this river countless times before with no issue. It's a very clean running river.
where is your hot misso
