Epic trip mate! Best blind date I’ve ever been on. 😂 Bring on round 2!
Bloody oath, mate. Ready when you are! 💪
Gentlemen, if you ever want a leisurely paddle on the Murray or it's backwaters hit me up... I'll be there!
Loved this collaboration. Looking forward to the next trip
birds chirping in the morning are so peacful
Great to see the other side of the tale, and great that Scotty introduced us to you 😀. Love your style mate, I look forward to enjoying more of what you bring 👍
Yeah I really owe the bloke big time, that’s for sure. 🙏 Thanks for watching and got leaving some feedback. I appreciate it!
Two natural, low ego guys. No one battling for top spot. So relaxing to watch. Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤ .
Scotty had coffee 👏👏👏
Now he is complete 😎🥰
Lol you really jinxed yourself @ 48:52 I think when you tipped out after saying imma put scottys Gopro in the water 😂. Has me in tears that was to funny.
You two blokes had me laughing so much absolute legends mate.
It look so much fun rafting down rapids but I don't know if I'll ever do it..funny thing though I'll jump into fast currents for a swim and I'm sweet as but kayaking etc freaks me out.
The cliffs looked handmade with thousands of blocks never seen anything like it mate.
Absolutely gorgeous scenery.
That was pretty damned good! Great colab, editing, footage clarity and you have a personality that's hard to dislike...lol Top video, hats off to you Matty 😎👍
Haha thanks mate! I appreciate it 💪
🙏🙏
Awesome. Great to get into your version. I really like your narration style of story telling.
Thanks mate!
@@TheSillySwagman By the way 48 minutres and 41 seconds is my favourite part of the film.
@@Lukeslittletribe Hahaha easily 😂
I just came across your collaboration. You two compliment each other well.
Beyond perfect looking, fellas.
Found ya through Rob at R&N. Planning to get an order in for the Spring, grab that companion blade you tote.
@@WvSoldier2012 Ahh he’s a good bloke!
I’m hanging out for the second prototype, keen to see how it goes!
Thanks for watching, mate 🙌
"Tacos in the rain..." great name for your first album...
Hahahaha! Oh man, so much imagery just drifted through my head as I thought about that 😂😂😂
Thank you 😂
Another awesome video buddy. With all the craziness going on in the world at the moment it's so nice to sit back and watch you guys out there. Makes such a difference. Great work!!
Ah mate, tell me about it. It’s very sad to see. I’m glad we are able to offer some form of break from reality for a short while. Thanks for watching mate 🙏
Yeahhhh Mattsyyy. This is a duo that is bloody hard to beat
Great Video Mattsy!! What a duo of awesome Aussie creatives and adventurers 🤙🤙
Cheers mate! 🙏🙏
Hey, Scotty!
That was awesome to see 2 Aussie legends together. Thank you, it was awesome to be there with you. You can't see where you are going with your gear in the front though.
Haha yeah, sadly my GoPro was attached to my helmet but because that footage you saw was borrowed from Scotty, it was actually a chest harness so it was too low. Wasn’t going to risk losing his too though 😂
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Go Matsey the Solo man. What a legend in the rapids. Good kid for first time mate.
Awesome vid man!
Nice hiking
Bloody ripper Mattsy! The tight control through the rapids, the 180deg turns to go backwards (balls of steel that! 💪), the attempted Eskimo roll! Epic! And to end each day tucked up under the kiddy poncho... perfect! 😎 Seriously though, awesome video Mate! Gutted that you lost the GoPro, but at least Scotty had proof he was willing to share! 🤣 Can't wait for more adventures with the 2 of you! 🤙
Hahaha! That comment actually had me laughing 😂😂 Summed up the trip spectacularly 👏
Bring on the next one! 💪💪
Love watching the joy in both of you!
Brilliant episode Mattsy! Fun packed adventure mate. To good times, cheers!
Thanks for watching, mate! Ready for another one now
Howdy matey.! Been watching a few of your vids including this one where you you're enjoying time with Scotty, who we are subs to & follow his adventures. So you got yourself a new sub mate. Greetings from Christmas Island.
Ahh hello! That’s awesome, thanks guys! I appreciate you dropping a comment and saying hello too. Scotty is a legend, that trip was definitely one to remember.
I’ve been pretty busy with some bushcraft and survival courses plus a couple little getaways with my partner but I’ve got some adventures to film already lined up for the next few weeks, so there will be some content coming through soon enough I promise. 😄
Happy to have you aboard. 🙏
See this bow from both perspectives. Awsome 👍🏻
That was even more fun than scotty's! Well done mate, now subbed to two aussies!
Haha! Thanks mate 😂 Great to hear it and have you onboard 💪💪
Love your channel. I actually found your channel and watched several of your vids before I ever heard of Scotty. Even though you lost the GoPro, that trip was epic. Major adventure envy. As someone from the US, the outback has always intrigued me. I follow several bushcraft/camping channels. Yours is special because of all that unique scenery and wildlife. I have also picked up quite a bit of knowledge seeing how you set things up differently from myself. Keep up the good work. Subscribed!
Ahh that’s awesome to hear, mate. That’s what I enjoy about watching the guys from the US, Canada, UK etc as well, the different forests and terrain. It’s unreal.
Glad you can pick up a thing here n there to try out too. Thanks for watching, Andy. I appreciate it 🙏
😍The voiceover works soooooo well, like your inner voice, it tugs the heartstrings. So agree with playfulness, and the outdoors, maybe it’s connecting with your inner child. Absolutely love the two of you together, alchemy! ‘I can’t believe I’m watching Scotty’s gin and tonic’ 😂 I think you guys might have blown your chance for a Tooheys sponsorship 😆. Can’t wait to watch more.
Yeah, it’s absolutely our inner child coming through😄
Glad you enjoyed it, sometimes it’s easy to come up with the narration but sometimes it doesn’t come to me. I’m glad it was received well with this video. 🙏
I think you might be right about the tooheys sponsorship 😂😂
Thanks for watching!
So much fun to watch. Thank you so much for showing us such a beautiful place, and for slogging it back up the hill in the heat.
Thank you, Melinda. Haha! It was worth the three days leading up to it 😂
Thanks for watching
What an epic adventure! Thanks for taking me along! :)
Love your work mate!
Thank you mate! 🙏🙏
Yep to all of that!
Love catching a Lyre bird's repertoire. the outdoors sure does keep you grounded in the moment. I'm always blown-away at how amazing it feels to be outdoors - especially wild camping, that's the best. And Mattsy, your pack is like Hermione's handbag, no end to the amount of stuff you pull out of that bag. I already watched the Helikon-Tex BERGEN BACKPACK - Overnighter Load-out - wow!
Thanks for sharing - gutted (for you) when you lost the GoPro - But hey, you still managed to put together an awesome video and share that adventure. Cheers Mate.
Nothing beats it! Loving sitting under the tarp first thing in the morning and just soaking up the sounds and the atmosphere. Magical.
Haha! It did appear that way didn’t it. I was surprised by how much it could carry 😅
Shame about the GoPro but that can be replaced. The memories from that trip will live on and so too will the inspiration it gave me to keep getting out there and exploring. 🙏
Together!! U 2 are hilarious together,!! Yew❤
Hahahahaha Dude.....I Love these Videos so Much hahahaha.....I could just listen to the audio of these videos...Great Positive picker uppers Hahahahahahaha
Awesome to watch, I agree with what you say about being out in the bush, with a great coffee! Kiwi fan
Cheers Alistair! Haha yeah, ya can’t beat it. Love it out there. Thanks for watching from over the way, mate!
Mate I really enjoyed this video, it’s not often I will sit down and watch a video this long but here I am still smiling and also after watching Scottys video. What a trip, awesome work man I will be looking forward to the next one.
Ah mate, that’s unreal. Thanks Michael. 🙏
I really appreciate it. Just happy I was able to pull something together without my GoPro footage, which really would have gone a long way to separate our two videos. Next time though. 😅
Great stuff guys the mateship, laughs and unreal scenery, that banter. Awesomeness 🤘💯❤️
Haha it was a bloody good trip. Miss the banter of the army days. Was good to get that going again
Still asleep at 11am! 😆 Love ya sense of humour Mattsy! Awesome video and can't wait to see ya get big time mate 👍
Walking Bobs is not as easy as it used to be.

FANTASTIC STUFF Mattsy! I'll continue watching your content for sure!!! Cheers :-)
Thanks Richard! 💪💪 Ya bloody legend.
@@TheSillySwagman No worries Mate! :-)
Good to see you pulled together a great video even after loosing a big chunk of footage.
Thanks mate! I was really worried about it but thanks to Scotty lending me his (brave man) I was actually able to save it 😅
Thanks for watching 🙏
Hey Matt, I went from your first post straight to your latest, cos n stuff. That was a great collab with Scotty, and what awesome scenery. This was a very enjoyable post mate. You say some profound/poetic? things at times. Like that too. Keep going. All the best.

"Our appreciation for nature was going down the sinkhole..." 😂
Very very good.
Haha cheers mate! Thanks for watching as always!
Nice work Mattsy . Was waiting for the second half of the collaboration, Well worth it. Hope you replace that GoPro soon to . And sorry if i call you Matty in any comments god damn auto correct ;)
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Haha don’t worry, that’s me with every online form 😂😂 Pain the backside.
Thanks for watching Dean!
All terrain vehicle 😂🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hahaha 😂😂
I've never understood how people have never had coffee, I started drinking instant coffee when I was eleven or twelve. I only drink one cup of coffee a day now, tastes good and the rest of the day I drink water
Haha Yeah, I wonder how I went so long without drinking it too. All those wasted mornings 😂
You never know, the gopro may turn up one day. I lost my DSLR on a mountain top once. The thick forest lifted it from my backpack without me knowing. Two weeks later another hiker got lost and when trying to find his way back he located my camera. Used the footage to track me down on facebook and returned it. I could not believe my luck. I have heard of divers finding a gopro 2 years later and tracking down the owner. It could happen.
Hey that other fella had a week head start on you. And you still kept up
Hahaha 😂😂
Where is this?
good question
I'd love to know as well
what river is this if you dont mind ?
I love you both… you are both great. My wife calls you both my utube boyfriends 🌈❤️🌻…
✨💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻💫
Hahaha that’s awesome 😂😂
Thanks for the support, Agustin! Cheers! 🙏🙏
Hi, does anyone know the opening song?
Hi Al, it’s actually a friend of mine and we’re working on making it available for download. If you follow my Instagram page I give updates there 🙏
@@TheSillySwagman legendary! Shall follow now. Your friend has a melodic voice of an angel 👌
@@AlNotara It’s beautiful, isn’t it! She’s a school teacher too. If my channel keeps growing she might have to make a career change 😂
@@TheSillySwagman yes indeed! It truly added depth and connection to your film (which was already incredible!) I've come across from Scotty's channel after the pack rafting journey. I'm here to stay!
@@AlNotara Haha awesome! Great to hear. Thanks mate 💪
Presenters on tv shows talking about crap. Lol i havent watched tv in over 14 years not even for the news
