this was great Scotty...I watch Joe Robinet, Doug Outside, My self Reliance, TAOutdoors, Scrambled O and a few others and so glad you are giving us home grown Aussie Bushcraft type videos ..Keep it up, really enjoying watching you get more confident .and seeing the places you go, this was a lovely spot.....Thanks , looking forward to more
Thanks a lot Vicki. I'm glad you are enjoying them. I also watch all those channels, and since we have such a beautiful and unique environment, I want to show it off to the world. Thanks for watching.
We have the original Primitive Technology guy up in Queensland Who doesn't say a word, not many video but still managed to get over 9 million subscribers.
It's been 2 years since this video was released, but I just wanted to show appreciation for the shot at 0:58 that required him to walk along the trees to the far end of the beach to setup his camera, walk back, and then get the scene of him walking across the untouched sand.
I’m always surprised by people hammocking here in Australia. We’ve always been told to not camp under gum trees because you never know when it will drop a branch.
Scotty, there are faster, simpler knots for hammocks. The figure-8 loop on the tree end is fine but all that is needed on the hammock end is a slippery hitch with a quick-release bite through a small steel ring. No caribiner needed, no knots to undo. Tarp ridgeline should be Siberian hitch on one end and truckers hitch with quick release bite on the other. Like you, I cook everything on a grill including pots. I have a thin hard cutting board cut to grill size that makes life easier and stores in same dirty bag.
In your july video, you cooked damper, in the U.K. they call it Banock. hint when you cook it again put only enough flour and salt in a zip lock bag, when you go to cook it just enough water to mix to dough, cut a hole in one corner and squeeze into pan, place on colds, cook. when I was young 1950's we went to fitness camps and we always had some and, we would get a piece of gum branch and wrap the dough around and over the bottom of the stick that's what we filled with golden syrup. if you are looking for people to watch then have a look at carlise195, he's, from the U.K. hope this helps
Mate, come on....share. South Coast, Snake Bay.....Blacks bombora.....mate, I'm lost. Please give us just a little more info on the destination. I promise not to tell anybody so that it doesn't get spoiled by too many visitors. I reckon a five or six hour drive might get me there...if only you would give a hint or two as to where exactly you were. Pleeeeeze? PS. Love your vids. Love the Aussie content.
I haven't seen a eucalyptus tree since I left Maui. They were brought to Maui from Australia by sailors in centuries past. They are one of the most beautiful trees in the world and aren't the leaves the favorite food for koalas? If you have a patreon account I would love to donate to the cause. You could use an Epiphany or Jonhen air bellows for your campfires. I bought one (both) after nearly losing my eyebrows blowing into a campfire that was starting to fade. I ate kangaroo meat in a Coolangatta restaurant in 2001 and thought it was pretty tasty. I couldn't talk my sister in trying it. What a view from your hammock. That was worth all the effort of traveling to the cove...a million dollar view! Another great video, mate. G'day!
So I specifically went searching RUclips to find a channel like this. As per Vicki Creates comment below I watch all the others but wanted to see the Australian equivalent. I have a lot of similar gear too! One thing I find really handy is a set of adjustable Hammock straps. Makes set up real easy. Keep up the great work and the vids coming.
Thanks a lot mate for the comment. I also got frustrated that there was basically no Australian equivalent. We have such a unique environment that I want to show it off. Good idea about the hammock straps, I've been thinking about investing in some. Would make set up that bit easier. Cheers mate.
Loving these videos, man. Every where you go it looks like a place I'd go on vacation to. It's interesting seeing all the difference in flora and fauna from here in the states.
I know that coastline very well. Spent my youth camping and fishing that bay. There is a local name for that little bay and local history says that in WW2 German submarines were spotted docking in there to recharge their batteries using that same fresh water creek. There was an old farm up on top of the hill. (I wont say the bays name unless asked by Scotty)
Hey mate, yeah it's a beautiful part of the coast. And is that right?! How interesting. There is a surf break right near it that people call Blacks. Would that be the name?
A lot of the locals called it Snake bay. That is going back over forty years when I started to go there. On the southern point is a smooth bombora within casting distance. Ive not been there for some years, Seeing you walk down to it brings back a lot of good memories. We used to burn dried sea weed for mozzies, Using two or three small fires about. Love your work BTW, Gets me inspired to "Get out there"
Another ripper video! Some great editing too. You need a wind sock, but otherwise, really creative. I'd like to see a video about your gear and the way you set up and organise your kit. It's really good to see someone who actually knows their stuff. I don't know why you didnt camp on the sand. Theres nothing like sleeping on a beach.
nice to see my coastal home again, you bring it in style bro. very cool.. I live in Norway but am from the Northen beaches, hammock camping is what i do here , but i think ya might need a bug net on that hammock mate, and think you should do i video on all the nasty`s in the area and what to do when your sting, bit,or blood sucked, things like ticks, leaches, spitfires, black bull ants, red hoppy joe`s, funnel webs, blue bottles, blue ringed octy, and maybe even when the drop bears attack too!! ha, one good thing here is i do`nt have to check my boots when i put em on in the morning ,thank for the great content its good to see !!!
C ya round haha you gotta watch out for those drop bears! Yeah I’ll have to do a vid on all the nasties. There’s plenty of them. Norway sounds awesome mate. Would love to get up to that part of the world someday.
Just starting to binge your videos, due to technique and great scenery.. Always learning about knots to use camping. What do you use for mozzie protection, or do you just suffer in silence???? LOL
LOL I started following you Scotty during the pandemic and the consequences was I now solo hike and camp ( your a bad influence according to the misses). Well decided to skip all the way to your early videos and I just have to say hilarious, it's like watching a new comic on stage stage for the first time, a little lost without their akubra. But still love it. Cheers mate
Haha oh mate. These early videos are major cringe worthy. It’s taken years for me to get comfortable in front of the camera (I’m still learning haha) Glad to hear you’ve gotten into solo camping.
Was at this spot recently. It looks so different after the fires. The whole area has a thick understory of acacia regrowth, with the trails barely visible is some parts. Sadly a lot of the terrestrial wildlife gone. The bush is coming back, but it was a bit sad to see. We need better forest management in Australia to prevent this happening again.
Agree, the Acacia is now wild and thick, many of my hiking, camping, kayaking locations have transformed. Our Aussie bush sure springs back, but wild life was devastated.
do you harvest your own kangaroo meet or buy from the market? that is a beautiful place. I live in Florida USA...last night i was outdoors and was complaing about being bitten..i said DAMN MOZZIES...everyone looked at me and said what did you say..what are mozzies? who taught you to say that? i was laughing and just said..Scotty says it..guess i learned it from him. then of course had to explain who you are LOL!!!!
Excellent once again. Are you not afraid of snakes wearing shorts? I am venturing out on solo camping and my biggest fear are our Aussie snakes. What are your views on this?
It's a 60 litre capacity bag from the brand 'Columbia', however, they're not made anymore.. If you like this cinch-top style of hiking bag, and you intend to take it to rough places off the beaten track, I would suggest staying away from these thin material rucksacks and go for something like a 'Highlander Forces 66L' which is more like an SAS Bergen (rucksack).. My Coyote Brown one from this design helped me traverse more than 200km across the Lut Desert in Iran a few years ago (basically, the hottest and harshest place on earth).
When filling from creeks, streams and rivers, refill from below the surface of the water to minimise surface borne bacteria and other micro debris on surface entering your drinking container and filtration unit. Just a small tip for ya mate. I've learnt from experience in the past. Great video mate, love the area you picked. Also bush spices seasoning from Mc Cormicks and Masterfoods along with garlic salt makes any meat just that much more delicious. Kangaroo meat is yummy and bloody awesome tucker. Great looking fishing spot.
So where abouts are you near Eden? You should do a winter trip in Victoria bloody cold down here at the moment plenty of snow do test you out lol. You should check this channel out Smooth Gefixt..
damn man this is the kind of shit I wish I had more motivation to do the older i got the less time me and my mates have to do this kind of shit.I think I would get bored on my own though.nsw is a tops place there is some great spots up at nunes state forest and jenolan state forest too.
As a Reflexologist I must say you have some nice looking feet.... also is it Aussie's talk when they say YEAH.... because I've counted how many times you say the word in ALL your video's and it ranges from 60 to 128 times.... lol But yet another nice video and I love it when you sleep in the hammock and nice job waking up and showing your feet over looking the sun rise... fricken Awesome!!! thanks again!!!
this was great Scotty...I watch Joe Robinet, Doug Outside, My self Reliance, TAOutdoors, Scrambled O and a few others and so glad you are giving us home grown Aussie Bushcraft type videos ..Keep it up, really enjoying watching you get more confident .and seeing the places you go, this was a lovely spot.....Thanks , looking forward to more

I agree with Vicki - nice work mate - let's show off Australia
Vicki, my sentiments exactly ! and I also watch the same guy's you listed :-)
Watch em too. I live in Vic and am looking forward to some cooler weather camping.
We have the original Primitive Technology guy up in Queensland

Fabulous view to wake up to. Best wishes from south Wales.
What a great video mate, trying to learn off you :)!
Loving these videos, man. Every where you go it looks like a place I'd go on vacation to. It's interesting seeing all the difference in flora and fauna from here in the states.
Thanks a lot mate. Haha yeah we're pretty lucky down under. Plenty of beautiful country to be seen and enjoyed. Thanks for watching mate.
hey mate that Spider was the wolf spider also known as the fishing spider.
I know that coastline very well. Spent my youth camping and fishing that bay.

Man awesome spot. Seems like you have all of Australia to yourself lol
Haha it is a big country. We're pretty lucky. Plenty of places to be by yourself.
Excellent once again. Are you not afraid of snakes wearing shorts? I am venturing out on solo camping and my biggest fear are our Aussie snakes. What are your views on this?
Great work Scotty. I do the same wild camps and vids only a bit further north (I think). We'd never take our spot for granted hey ?
Nice Mate. I also like solo wild camping but I'm worry about sociopath and other crazy people what is your opinion ?
awesome spot mate
Is this in booderree?
Never been down there but have been fascinated by your country since childhood. Thanks for showing me the woods. Do you came in croc country?
SORRY FAT FINGERS -- CAMP IN....
Great video ! Where did you get your bag from
It's a 60 litre capacity bag from the brand 'Columbia', however, they're not made anymore..

Pretty Beach mate ;)
Spotted gums. Widow makers. Be careful brother.
Where about in southcoast is this mate?
I also do alot of solo walk about and camping myself. Love all your videos, keep it coming cheers
G'day Scotty, have you heard of Aerogard??
You deserve way more subscribers. Greetings from the US, thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot mate!
Hi Scott. Where did you get the grill plate please mate?
Hey mate, the brand is called Expedition Research and I got it off Amazon. Hope that helps.
Super handy to have on a trek..
@@ScottysGoneWalkabout Thanks for that mate.
When filling from creeks, streams and rivers, refill from below the surface of the water to minimise surface borne bacteria and other micro debris on surface entering your drinking container and filtration unit.

Also bush spices seasoning from Mc Cormicks and Masterfoods along with garlic salt makes any meat just that much more delicious. Kangaroo meat is yummy and bloody awesome tucker.

rick seifert very true.
They don't do the bush spice anymore :(
So where abouts are you near Eden?
You should do a winter trip in Victoria bloody cold down here at the moment plenty of snow do test you out lol.
You should check this channel out
Smooth Gefixt..
Learn to fish in rivers mate will help a lot love the videos just need to learn how to fish and hunt
Why? Everyone on their own trip. Enjoy their own things.
Kangaroo has the highest protein out of any animal
Emu is pretty good too
What's that filter and where can you buy it?
It's the Sawyer Mini Water Filtration system. Hope that helps. :)
damn man this is the kind of shit I wish I had more motivation to do the older i got the less time me and my mates have to do this kind of shit.I think I would get bored on my own though.nsw is a tops place there is some great spots up at nunes state forest and jenolan state forest too.
Am pretty sure the spider is a Wolf Spider
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider
It’s a nursery-web spider. Similar to a wolf spider
You should be using tree straps as what you are tying can damage the tree.
In this country there are so many trees and so few people it is never going to be a problem. BTW gum trees are hard bastards.
Where abouts bro?
Australia
As a Reflexologist I must say you have some nice looking feet.... also is it Aussie's talk when they say YEAH.... because I've counted how many times you say the word in ALL your video's and it ranges from 60 to 128 times.... lol But yet another nice video and I love it when you sleep in the hammock and nice job waking up and showing your feet over looking the sun rise... fricken Awesome!!! thanks again!!!
You have too much time on your hands
