Bloody hell Matt, thank you for being so open and honest. your struggles really resonated with me, thank you Pete for the EMC podcast, the world needs this, it needs openness and vulnerability, WE NEED TO TALK FELLA'S. We're not fucking machines, we feel things, we struggle with shit and IT'S OK
@@mrm6837 shit this is just the best comment…speechless
@@WACampingAdventures It's true though dude. I work in a Alpha male world where being tough is just expected but so many people see vulnerabilities and talking about our feelings as being weak. Let me tell you, if I need to step up and protect someone or defend my family, you better bring a fucking army because I'm going to fight until my last breath, but that doesn't mean I don't struggle, that doesn't mean that I'm not fighting my own demons EVERY SINGLE DAY, do not confuse vulnerability with weakness because you will lose every single time. The issue is we hide our vulnerability's, we hide our struggles for fear of being labelled weak and the result is far too many good many dying by their own hand and it needs to stop.
Just watching this podcast and realising how important it is for us as the viewer to let you guys know how important and relevant you both are. Watch both your channels and am inspired so much by what you both do. Thanks for being accessible and real, guys!
Lisa i am taken aback back this comment and your kind words. Damn cant thank you enough truly
Thank you Lisa. That means a lot to hear.
Having watched Matt's channel for quite a while I think he seems to have an old soul. I don't mean that in any bad way but he seems very introspective and centred when he is in the bush. He has a maturity beyond his physical years. The appreciation of the natural world is something many people have completely lost. I generally don't like solo videos with no commentary at all but Matt's vids are the exception to that. Somehow he manages to capture the experience of the bush in a way nobody else I have seen can.
Thought provoking great to listen too, Mat what an interesting person you are ! sir you are a diamond in the rough and I hope you reach all your goals😢
I’m a bit late to seeing this one Pete! What a great,
Open and honest conversation. Matty is a real one and I felt the pain and honesty in this conversation. I love these eps mate, keep up the good work!
It's interesting how many people who make YT videos hate to see themselves on film. It was the hardest thing I had to deal with and since I hate my own appearance and my voice it was very difficult to start doing it. Eventually I just got immune to it so no matter how much we dislike doing something, it taught me that it is possible to find a way past it. I live to make videos even though I know I am never going to be up there with those who really make great content. I have a few people who watch regularly and seem to enjoy it and that never ceases to surprise me.
Always enjoy your TuB vids Marc, another veteran worthy of a Poddy Pete 👍👍👍
Hey Pete, well done mate, not sure if you realise but your guests are open to talk about their struggles because of you and the way you go about your life.
Keep it up, don’t change a thing.
@@kimwindsurfercoastalservic4122 wow kim talk about making a blokes day. Thank you mate truly im honoured
Boys full heartedly enjoyed this chat. so many things a want to chime in on both of you blokes got me through some sht at one point cheers boys
Ben mate am bloody honoured truly. Appreciate you mate
I love how Matt speaks about mental health.. So much respect for him to do so.. A huge reason i like his videos. Men need to speak up
Well said to you brother as well!
I got to meet Matt in person at the Perth show.. was great! Been meaning to go to his Patreon camp outs too but i need to get all my camping gear sorted out
Pete ,
Been watching your channel from day 1 and it’s amazing things what your doing and helping so many people in their every day lives !
Having my own business as an electrician in sydney and two young boys all the stress of life it’s a breath of fresh air to watch your videos and listening to the podcasts . I tend to also do a lot of solo camping and also with family and close mates . Camping and adventures is a little break from life .
Keep up the great work and appreciate your effort . Ray 👌👍
Ray mate you sound like a good man and a great father. Thank you so much for sticking with me mate truly…keep smashing and making your boys proud
wow never knew Matt played drums! So do i!.. well did
Two of WA's best, great chat lads! 👌
Thanks alex mate it means the world!
Loving these chats Pete.
Another great episode touching on some really important topics.
Keep up the amazing work mate.
Hope to see you out there some day 👍
Thanks so damn much for the support and watching!
Terrific podcast 10/10 been listening in on the way to and from work this week, keep up the great work Matt, keep rolling with what you enjoy doing, hopefully I can join both of you fellas one day for some campfire action!
I can tell Matts getting edgy.. but hes been devastated waiting on this fire season.. got bloody delayed.. but gotta be soon! Cant wait to see whats coming from Westralian Offroad
This was great! really enjoyed this.. Thanks to both of you.. was great to see 2 guys talking mental health etc. look forward to another
Man really appreciate you getting through it…means more than you know!
OMFG i got mentioned! 47:03 :D
and yep here i am doing it in this video
Awesome Pod! Thanks Gents.
Late to the party sorry lads. Great podcast I listed to it while driving 👍
(Commenting as I am watching here) There is a funny relationship we have with people we like online. We may never meet them in person and never really know them but we relate to them as if they are friends in some ways. When people like Alex and Michael (Seek Adventure) walk away from the platform there is a real sense of loss. It shows you how much the videos you guys make really do touch people in different ways.
Definitely agree and felt the same with both creators!
Love it Pete this was such a humbling video we loved it and I will leave a comment with Matt as well as I’ve been subscribed to his channel for a while too keep it up brother 😊
Brilliant lads I'm sitting out the back fire going beers in hand such a good watch well done 👌
How good shauny!!!
This is a long one.. will have to watch in snippets
Matt from Westralian offroad! love it!
His channels great! Love his style
Matt and I go way back, burning rubber and overheating on those coastal cruises, chasing thrills in beat-up cars with the metal blaring. The boys where pretty wild. But even then, I sensed something hidden beneath his easygoing charm.
He'd light up talking about cars, his passion shining through. Yet, seeing this podcas, when it came to sharing his own story, his heart seemed guarded. I admit, I've judged him for it. But who am I to question his path?
Now, seeing his connection with Roothy, a kindred spirit so genuine and true, it hits me. Maybe Matt's just protecting that vulnerable part of himself, the part that yearns for real connection. Maybe we all are.
In the end, it's not about who's right or wrong. It's about honoring those fleeting moments of joy, those shared experiences that bind us together. It's about cherishing the memories of a friendship that, despite its complexities, holds a special place in my heart.
Wow what a beautiful comment brother
Hey great to see Matt I'm glad to see your ok. As you said hopefully the next video itch is coming soon can't wait 👍
I loved this chat so much. Only discovered Matts channel within the last year or so (via Insta community I think). Been going back & watching his videos. Beautiful cinema photography. I actually love that his content in places in WA (some I may have been.). & enjoy that maybe the episodes might only be a night or 2.
It's been a good back story to fill in the gaps for me.
Alot bang on about mental health & the catch phrases but Matt really backs it up with actual insight & advice. He's the real deal, loved this one!!
Absolute real deal jen!
I don't even know where to begin after watching this.... 2 blokes that firstly, got me into watching solo camping vlogs. Giving so much, not just to me but many others. I used to own and drive a 76 just like Pete's while I was living remote NT, he was my first introduction to the passion/frustration of solo camping. Then I stumbled across Matty G, he brought to me an immense love of the simple pleasures of the bush, he always has a most interesting story to tell about the place/people he chose to pitch his swan/tent, (I swear this bloke has lived a life before as a swaggy). Thank you both, through you I have learnt so much.
"I swear this bloke has lived a life before as a swaggy" Yup I think you are right.
Honoured paul after that comment
I love the fact that men's mental health is something that CAN be talked about more these days. I come from a genration where you just shut up and put up with whatever was going on in your life and you weren't considered a 'proper' man if you started talking about it. That is the absolute worst thing anyone can do. It is so good to see that starting to change now. I have suffered severe depression all my life (it doesn't help when you basically hate your body) but I have found that as I get older, it doesn't get to me the way it used to. I guess getting old means there are so many more things going wrong to worry about that eventually you just turn around and say, bugger it, I'm not going to give a stuff about it any more. The trouble with depression is that you spiral down and down until you can't see any way out. I did eventually discover that when it got really bad, doing something physical but mundane actually helped to break the downward spiral. Just mopping the floor was enough to snap me out of it. I have read since that physical activity like that helps release the right kind of chemicals into our system that are able to change how we feel. (Maybe that might help someone who is really struggling one day to break out of the immediate downward trajectory - I hope so anyway.)
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video guys! Great listen. So good to see guys getting comfortable talking about mental health.
👊👊👊👊
An legend. Matt is awesome. Love watching his vids . Thank you Pete for this poddy 😇😇
Thanks so much pauly!
As usual Pete what a fantastic pod, so many things talked about that most blokes and people won't broach with their loved ones let alone on such a forum as yours.
Awesome work and a fantastic insight into you both
Thanks sean mate i bloody love that they are comfortable enough to have a chat about it all!
@@WACampingAdventures 100% agree, it is just your nature and honesty reflected back to you
What a great episode. We love watching both your channels. You guys were spot on with saying how we forget to jump on the phone and hit like on the vid. Matt, looking forward to the campfire vids again soon!
Alicia thanks so much for stopping in!
Hey Matt, I've always appreciated your vibe of getting recharged in the bush and the knowledge. You spoke about what RUclipsrs you watch and I wondered if you watch Mattsy, The Silly Swagman? He's very funny and also philosophical and all about reconnecting with the bush. I love his trips with Scotty - hilarious!
Also, did you see Alex recently did a story on the train carriages at Seabird. It was really good.
Keep doing what you're doing, when you feel that energy you spoke of.
Thanks...hopefully this gets a lot of shares and helps those going through some tough times.
Thanks mark mate👊👊
I really dig Matt's videos, exactly because they are lower key. Feels like I am there, and really good after a stressful day. (I don't need to be 'frothin', in fact I try not to ;) )
Likewise chris!!! Mate i have to ask why do you try not to be “frothing” or looking forward to something? 😂😂😂
@@WACampingAdventures I definately do look forward to things, a lot! Frothing just sounds a bit like Rabies to me 😅 ... I am more of a 'gently-bubbling' type
@@chrisdardis4794 close to the best reply i have ever had chris…brilliantly said now i cant get that out of my head…i tip my hat
@@WACampingAdventures Thanks Pete! Love your vids and these extended chats mate 👍
Pete, your a natural with these podcasts mate. The joe rogan of the 4wd podcast world. Been following both you and matt for a few years now. Some of the bigger channels have really become sell outs, specially in terms of how 4wd builds have become a fashion accessory rather than what they used to be. I really struggle to watch most of these bigger channels now. Love it how you guys are keeping things real with the no bullshit trip videos. You all just seem like the kinds blokes that would be awesome to have a beer with. Hope to see some new content from matt soon
Shit i want to talk about this topic on this podcast. Thanks for the kind words and cannot agree more its all about how much money you have these days!!! Hahaha
What an awesome Yarn 💯 great Poddy Pete, your a bloddy legend Matty 🍻 2 great honest blokes.
Thanks benno! Appreciate you mate truly
Great vid guys, love the podcasts series. Very relatable episode great Friday night watching 🙌🙌
Thanks brother appreciate you
Thank you, I enjoyed this one from beginning to end. I'm subscribed to you both.
Thanks so damn much👌👌
Petrichor wow, so true.
Never heard that word used before and if it’s the word said.
It’s finally rained, let’s Petrichor this weekend.
Hahaha tim same here didnt have a clue, learn something everyday hey hahaha
To of my favourite legends in one vid how goods that cheers pete and Matt for a awesome poddy
Thanks for always backing me podge
Wow, what and interesting Poddy / Tube ViD, 2 x legends that I have followed for ever, This is why I lov your channel Pete, the real side of life 🍺🍺🍺
I have met Matt at a few shows and even found him exploring out in the field at a camp I was staying at, after saying G'Day and having a yarn, showing him my camp set up, I still feel a little silly thinking I had Just met royalty 😁😁😁It was humbling to listen to his storey now and then, kind of makes me sit back and reflect. I enjoy my solo campn with my trusty Pippa and while out I do get to reset🤔🤔🤔.
We all need to find our our own peace, gett'n out gives that too me, when we are done, we go home ✌✌✌
Cheers Andy 🍺🍺🍺
Andy mate so well said! Thanks brother
I'll be honest, Pete. I have tried watching these and can never make it through them. I end up watching something else and forgetting about it. Love watching your stuff and getting to know the other guys you go out with on trips, but, for me, my ADHD gets the better of me. See you on the next trip video. Cheers🎉
Hahaha steve mate could not help but laugh at the end. I just love the honesty brother! Appreciate you even commenting!
Great to see Matt as I was just wondering how he's going these days.
Great comments about styles of camping and 4wd'ing as so much these days seems to be almost an arms race about who can spend the most, break the most or jam the most crap into their vehicle.
The idea of getting away from it all seems to have been lost for so many imo.
Do you guys watch Chris Bamman at all?
Not 4wd'ing but all about the location and enjoying the trip. He very rarely speaks but his videos are very well done imo.
Gotta go and watch some TV with the rev limiter so I shall watch the rest later.
Thanks guys I enjoyed this one.
Yep has become a millionaires playground🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
One of the best ones yet mate. Cheers 🍻
Thanks trav bloody nice bloke
@@WACampingAdventures He sure is
Friday Nite beers and entertainment sorted 🍻🤙

Sorry about all the comments today but this was so interesting I can't help myself LOL. Pete's comment about enjoying the simple things in life brought to mind something I wrote back in 2004 after watching an interview with Mel Brooks by Andrew Denton. Hope you get something out of this:
LITTLE JOYS
It’s the little joys of life
That make it all worth while
The funny quirky silly things
That bring to light a smile
It’s not about the money
Or the fame good fortune brings
It’s all about how good it feels
When fantasies have wings
It’s not the shiny motor car
Or fancy racing yacht
It’s not the stocks and bonds and shares
Or how much gold you’ve got
It’s special times on certain days
That make you feel alive
When nothing can account for it
But joy just seems to thrive
When all you have is nothing
But each other’s warm embrace
That’s all you need to always bring
A smile to light your face
It’s the little joys of life
That will last from year to year
And the little joys of life
That are always held most dear.
Dont apologise mark love it mate. Screenshotted that comment hey
