2 Nights Winter Wild Camp In The Aussie Bush

Join me as I get away for a solo 2 night wild camp by a river in the Australian bush. It's Winter, so things are getting a little chilly, but there's noting better than waking up and putting the billy on the boil for a fresh cuppa. I do a run down of some the local bush tucker plants and their uses, as well as discovering an aboriginal rock painting!
Hope you enjoy!
Hooroo.

Hey guys, hope you all don't mind a longish video. This was a fun camp, especially checking out the aboriginal painting. Would love to hear your thoughts on the water purification question and some food ideas. Hope you all enjoy!

[@aforestedlife6947]

Hey man I do much the same as you, but here in the NZ bush.. when I go out I use a bottle that has a charcoal filter in it and when you suck thro the nossel your sucking thro the filter and charcoal so I just use it to fill my bottles, never had a problem with them

[@dadisathome]

Hi Scott. Love your videos, I've watched them all so far, just have to schedule them in. Great to see Aussie bush on show. Keep up the good work.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Cheers mate, glad you're enjoying the videos.

[@hikerinaustralia]

Hi Scotty, to be honest I don't normally like long KZbin videos but you really do such an amazing job you keep it interesting all the way through. You have a great eye for composition and really take some nice shots. You are a natural in front of the camera and present really well. Great music selection and you really do a good job of editing and pulling it all together. I look forward to seeing your sub count go through the roof. Keep the videos coming!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, Thanks a lot for the kind words. Yeah it's hard to know how long to make the video's to please everyone. I try to not let it drag on for too long, and make sure it's quality footage and not just filler. I'm still getting used to being in front of the camera, I'm used to being behind it, so it nice to hear you think I look fairly natural in front of it. Cheers mate

[@sarah3796]

I love hearing all the birds

[@Leadmeoutdoors]

Great video, I love watching your stuff.

[@michaelo1907]

Enjoyed the video very much

[@yewfh-oz7in]

Amazing video Scotty. That painting is mind blowing... so special to see. Thanks for sharing, along with your knowledge :)

Luke from Drifta in Gloucester NSW sells sheaths for your silky saw.

[@tricyreihana9911]

Hi Scotty, great vid....I am loving the info on our native trees and the different uses for them, we have quite a few of the same trees etc here on the Sunshine Coast and I love having that knowledge about them. Keep up the great work 👍

[@bossybill7437]

Great video. Really enjoyed it, especially the Aussie stuff.

[@patrickbryanoutside7416]

Really enjoy your long overnights. Your videos are excellent. Thanks for sharing

[@elideveer674]

Love the spirit bird playing at the start

[@lukefry3023]

Love the videos makes me want to get out for and go into the middle of the property and camp on the farm like when I was younger keep the great content up mate

[@hermit6208]

Such a pretty spot.

[@birdie399]

I’m glad I found your channel, it’s unusual to see an Aussie camping video. Your bushland seems to be greener than here in the west. Interesting video thanks for sharing.

[@downundersurvival815]

Cheers mate that is helpful, will give it a crack soon

[@bruno-orante]

Well done! Keep going you are doing an awesome job 👍

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks a lot mate! Really appreciate it.

[@BrettWilliamson]

Great vid and Young Henry's Aussie Pale is a ripper too!

[@icexcalibur]

lol had the same experience with my first camp vid, forgot the butter for my corn ! Nice vid mate, wish I had this scenery.

[@flynnch9151]

Hey Scotty. What a amazing spot. I’m so jealous. I don’t exactly know why, but I’m getting addicted to your videos. Keep it up. I think you are going to grow and grow 👍

[@cookscatapults]

That was Great....Thanks

[@StankPlanks]

These videos are perfect to watch while social distancing etc is in place. Get’s me so keen to go camping when this is all over!

[@n00dle1337]

Might be worth boiling the water after filtering it through the bag, just to make sure there isnt any bacteria that may be present, better be safe than sorry.

[@forrestwardener]

Great stuff , I grew up on creek to tank water . At least twice I fished dead birds out of the tank , my dad got a possum too . I dont remember anyone getting sick from that. Thanks for the vids.

[@maidofmilo]

Gday Scotty, loving your channel! For meals when we go bush - Dehydrate our own meals before we go eg when you have spag bol at home make a lil extra and dehydrate it. Add water when you get to camp. Easy as. And yum. And you know what's in it.

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

I have found the same thing on the ridge across from the mining camp in Coppabella, Qld- those dugouts & a few drawings. Pretty steep climb, pretty cool to see for ages to the horizon

[@10484196]

long videos are great...keep it up bud

[@Caiaiman]

Good vids, cheers!

[@MrStandana]

For eats explore the world of dehydrating your meals!! Chili, spaghetti sauce with pasta, anything can be dehydrated including fruits roll ups (applesauce with cinnamon). The possibilities are endless!!

[@dominicbarratt3433]

Smoked sausages(European style) and cheese are a good lunch time meal/snack whilst hiking/camping.with a few olives. Very good. We have the pork sausage type sticks here in U.K. Called pepperami. They're good. As they keep for ages and don't need to be chilled. Great vid. Love the scenery. Looks so luscious. Cheers bud.

[@archie7212]

Hey Scotty, great video mate and so good to see Australian content for a change. As far as the water goes I would still treat it with purification tabs or drops after the filter bag just to be on the safe side. And I think those animal tracks in the sand were a small Goanna dragging it's tail. :-)

[@blueskyandtrees]

I wish I knew someone like you! Such an interesting and informative video. I hope to experience what you do one day. But for now I will keep watching you and learn as much as I can. Thank you.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hi, thanks for the kind words! You just gotta get out there and do it!

[@blueskyandtrees]

Scotty's Gone Walkabouts true. As soon as I get over my sleeping in the dark on my own surrounded by who knows what creepy crawlies and animals phobia 😬 I definitely need a camping buddy to eleviate that fear!

[@sarah3796]

Yey just do it! I guess you could try baby steps. Small bush walks to start with

[@ilovesano]

keep them coming

[@gordoncook7613]

Great videos from the USA, If I go on two day I'll bring smoked meat like a ham steak or sausage. Cured meats for protein.keep the videos coming enjoy your channel!!

[@traceybaker343]

great videos mate,sleeping at night out there with the yowies and brown snakes .you must have no fear...

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

Hey Scotty, nice video again! re the water purification, depends where you are, but would likely at least boil the water after filtering before drinking. But if you know the place, should be good. Re the food ideas, I get some slim salami's from Aldi or what not, sealed in a thin pack, is a good snack or meal addition. Small tin of baked beans can be great. Cuppa soups are surprisingly comforting after a cold day. Can get hearty ones with dried vegies etc like pea and ham. Snack pack tins of tuna, can also get canned chicken. And just a simple potato is easy to carry, can be baked whole, sliced and fried or boiled, or made into mash, and even hash browns for next day breakfast. Just remember the butter and salt! And thanx for showing us the cave :-)

[@clivenewton7609]

Hi Scotty, thanks for yet another great video, always worth the wait. As for the water situation, if you normally drink from the river with no side effects I would carry on, Dave Canterbury drinks from the creek running through his bushcraft school without any issues (so he says!) I wouldn’t without some sort of sanitisation! But it seems to work for him, hope you get my drift here. As you know there are many chemicals on the market to help with the job along with the pricey gadgets to go with them!! Without doubt the best and safest way is to boil it, if you live below 6000ft then just bring it to a rolling boil, job done! The millbank bag is just to remove all the floating crap! As for winter hammocking get an under quilt or ex mil sleep mat, I recon you got cold from convention, the night breeze stealing your body heat. If you get the chance have a look at Shug Emery channel, he does a bang up job of taking you through winter stuff. Enough waffle from me, take care out there, regards Clive from the old country!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, thanks for your comment. I really appreciate your input. I'll have to check out Shrug Emery's channel. Cheers,

[@michaelferry6880]

👍 nice bud that’s how the Aussie’s do 🇦🇺

[@suemoore1965]

💗🌺 THANKS FOR SHARING 🌺💗

[@ERIKOFFTRACK]

Cool video mate, my kind of trip! I always treat my water, either Katadyn micropour tabs or through a filter. You can turn the Sawyer mini into a gravity filter fairly easily and that speeds things up. But I have seen too many dead animals in the water while walking through pristine creeks and rivers. In terms of food, grab yourself a dehydrator and make your own food and jerky. Keep up the content! Great to see more Aussie stuff out there!

[@tahnia666]

Yeah, id boil it.. learnt the hard way many years ago hiking from cann river to mallacoota through croajingalong nat. Park. Drank some clean looking water from a stream, and a little further upstream came across the rotting carcass of a wallaby in the same stream. I ended up so sick. I thought i was gunna die. Was the first time i realised that having the shits couod actually kill you.

[@AdventuresWithLukeVlogs]

Quality Wednesday night vid

[@albundy8139]

For water purification I use 2 methods, iodine if I'm not able to have a fire, or boiling plus tablets if I can have a fire. Cheers from Minnesota!

[@TwoOnTheTar]

Great channel, one of my faves. Try throwing banana, skin & all, into hot coals. It caramelises in its own juices, delicious. And try jacket potato, just wrap in foil and into the hot coals. Season with butter, salt n pepper, or your favourite seasonings. Easy. Keep making those vids, they're great!

[@neckredgringo5372]

Awesome video man, great little adventure. I never take chances on water but I'm in texas, alot more going through it. We make alot of good jerky here, trying out. Tortillas with cheese and pepperoni rolled up and thrown in some foil makes a good meal. There is alot of good recipes out there for quick water only meals. Dave Canterbury has some good videos on it. Thanks man

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey buddy, appreciate the input. I'll have to check out Dave Canterbury's vids on it. Thanks for watching mate

[@Bushmanschool]

Thumb up bro nice video thank you

[@jerrygatton9119]

Hi Scotty, I like longer videos. I just found your channel and am a new subscriber. You have made a great start with your channel, just a few words of encouragement from a Yank from Texas

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks a lot mate. Glad you are enjoying them!

[@budget-adventure]

I’ve got a iron guts so I’d drink that water straight. But it’s always a good idea to go the yards to treat the water the best you can.

[@aaronjoseph3366]

Fantastic content mate! Love the videos. Try Biltong stokkies for jerky with a kick! Protea is the brand we normally get up at most bottle shops and even a few woolies in Melbourne... very tasty stuff. Cheers!

[@craigisnotlost]

Aaron Joseph get on biltong.com.au for real biltong

[@G0ingNative]

I live in the UK so I always filter my water or use purification tabs. With regard to food ideas try adding some salami or pepperami with cheese to your rice or pasta. It is great for taste and increasing calories without too much weight.

[@wetdedstuocm]

Water to me anymore should be boiled and purification tablets are always handy, you might want to consider a ankle brace they have some that are very good support and just slip on. Can you get foil packs of Spam ?, they are handy, also you have a lot of good survival meals out there now get some try them at home.. Still missing the Hat..LOL.. Love this video ,Cheers

[@MikesManCave]

Subscribed, have not watched the whole thing yet, but very interesting so far...

[@HappyCamel23]

Hey Scotty. That picture in the cave that you said looks like a person laying down looks to me like a lizard. That would explain no mouth and the tail. Another great video showcasing our lovely country.

[@sherreehastie8089]

Would love to see some catch and cook ☺

[@phrayzar]

Wow, great find with the rock art. Very rare in the whole Sydney basin. Always worth a little look around the base of caves and overhangs for midden and tool traces. Especially near water. There is a great book by Val Attenbrow called "Sydneys Aboriginal Past" published by UNSW press.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate. She sure is a beauty! Yeah I'm always on the look out for traces of aboriginal occupation. Thanks so much for the book reference. I hadn't heard of that one before. I'm definitely going to get my hands on a copy.

[@waw-westaussiewilderness8291]

Awesome video mate. Have had similar issues with chilly nights in a hammock. I found an old wool scouts blanket doubled over worked well underneath my sleeping bag. Most comments are true that you should purify any and all natural water, be it running or standing. Lots of microbial and decay matter can run long distances even if the water looks immaculate. And food... I dehydrate my own meals (thanking my wife for a dehydrator from Xmas lol) but keep it MOF MOF...maximum of flavour, minimum of fuss 👍 thanks again for the video.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, yeah I'll have to invest in a good wool blanket. Same goes with the dehydrator. Sounds like a handy thing to have. Thanks for watching mate.

[@waw-westaussiewilderness8291]

From Aldi apparently. If you gunna get one make sure you can adjust temperatures and times and can do meat/fish. But very worthwhile. Makes long distance trips much easier and lighter. Check gumtree for the blankets or go to scouts.com.au and order it. Again very worthwhile 👍

[@deepsouthNZ]

wraps are great for lunches mate, easy to carry and you can even have vegemite (i prefer marmite) and cheese on them but salami which keeps well is good too. Dinners, get yourself a dehydrator and you can have spagbol etc or anything you like, mince works well in them, packets of potato flakes are handy too

[@nocturnalpete1]

Gday scotty a few ideas for ya tucker take a tin of camppie or spam you can even roast it or fry it if ya like .more eggs .some of them pasta n sauce packs like ya rice one ,you could take some uht milk if ya want and did you ever think of trying some i think there called MRI s packs army packs you can do a feild test on what they are like good or bad .ps loving the Aussie bush settings . all the best big pete.

[@Ian..]

Great video mate. I’m watching in England, so it’s a pretty different landscape 😜 I know what you mean about not wanting to call out S&R when you’ve hurt yourself, but it’s not a life-threatening situation. For this “middle ground” I carry a satellite messenger - little device made by Garmin (I think a company called Spot make similar ones). It lets you call S&R in an emergency, but you can also message a mate via satellite to come and get you if you need a bit of help. Enjoyed your adventure, thanks 👍🏻

[@tlaw5264]

If your just Going for an over nighter or 2night you dont have to worry about the nutritional value of the food just as long as it high in good carbs to fuel the hike your not gona get malnurished in 2days first night eat what ever you want second and so forth best for dehydrated food saves getting the shits from something thats gone bad in the heat just loads of carbs baked potatoe in the fire or pasta or rice or noodles here in england we get some great sauces in sachets for pasta and that and doesnt need to be kept in the fridge just cook up your rice pasta or noodles and throw it in with it they usualy have lots of veg in with it with the sauce

[@BillVorhees]

Another amazing video, Scotty! Personally I would not risk drinking unfiltered water. There are so many ways that could go wrong.

[@ronaldolson9804]

I like the longer videios......always boil the water..... buy yourself a dehydrator, then just dehydrate your home cooked foods, it works very well. then just add water and warm......

[@MrWalko]

Hey Scotty. My kids and I are loving your videos. - As far as water goes, someone else mentioned water purification tablets. You're probably ok without them but they will make double sure there are no nasties. - As a way to keep warm in your hammock, it might be worth cutting down a car windscreen shade to match your body (or even just the torso). It should reflect the heat back to your body. - Anything that just adds water is a win for food, but just like you did, a few quick add in items like veggies or jerky are worth doing. A few seasonings (salt, pepper, chilli) might add flavour as well. - Chill your beer in the creek while you set up camp. Perhaps a mesh bag on a string? I want to set myself up to do some hikes like this but can't afford the gear at the moment. My biggest hassle will be coffee because I'm seriously addicted and seriously snobby! Thanks mate for your videos.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, glad you and the kids are enjoying the vids! Thanks for your input. I do keep water purification tables in my kit, though I don't like using them unless I have too. I find the water tastes like chlorine. Good idea with the hammock insulation. Yeah the costs can add up when your first starting out, and you can get by using cheaper products, but in my opinion, it's always better spending that little bit extra to get good quality gear as it usually lasts longer. Thanks for watching mate.

[@MrWalko]

Yeah, I hear what you're saying about quality gear. I'm a "do it properly the first time" guy which usually means expensive up front. It's hard for me to rationalise at the moment because I've already poured a lot of cash into the family camper trailer! Looking forward to the next installment. It looks like you've got some ripper areas around to camp in.

[@AussieHunta]

Have a look at a cnoc water bag. A sawyer mini or squeeze screws straight onto the bag and you can use gravity or squeeze filter your water.

[@nudibanches]

Nice one mate. Come up to the Brindabellas and we can get you out in some -8C nights :)

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Haha I'd love to spend some time in the high country, dunno how well I'd take the cold camping. I'll wait till spring ;)

[@WadeAbout]

If you ever do merch. Your slogan should be “but I forgot the butter”. Every video :D

[@michaelpepper7230]

Try Buckwheat and a dried soup mix boiled up and then add a cup of soup for flavour. Then add a small can of chicken or your jerky. All of this can be bought at Woolies.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Nice idea mate. Good for winter camping when you want something warm.

[@davekoch4335]

good day mate,love coming from Ontario, Canada,new subscriber,just found some of your vids and i'm enjoying the absolute beuty of austrailia i never new in my 40 years of living that it could be so unique and so preastoric like you said of the plants and tree's, amazing,thankfull for your wealth of knowledge of the plants and tree's almost feel blessed to see the footage and being introduced to the beuty of it,keep up the great work and i look forword to walking with you on the great journey of future episodes.cheers.

[@sarah3796]

Yey! Come visit us here 🇦🇺! Australia has so many different ecosystems … gorgeous rivers ,.. desert plains, snowy mountains, ah we are very lucky

[@spiceweasel945]

Using your insulated Nemo mat in the hammock (a bit deflated) would work as well to keep you a bit warmer - arguably warmer than on the ground. Also I would use a Sawyer for sure. It’s not just human activity that can lead to bacteria or protozoa in the water (in problematic levels). Not worth the risk.

[@budget-adventure]

On the food front I preserve a lot of 4 bean chilli and bolognaise meals and all you have to do is cook pasta and add the preserved meal. The way you want it and not $15 a packet

[@aussiecomrade8163]

Nice one Scotty! Stellar video again mate. I'm lovin' that little grill you've got for the steak. Where'd you score that from? Defs gonna need to get me one of those.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Ryan De Masi thanks mate! Yeah it’s a handle little grill. I think it’s from a brand called Expedition Research off Amazon or something. Have a geez. Worth investing in.

[@MsThebadmen]

If you're into wraps, you could add some felafal or fried halloumi.

[@diceman2004]

Thank you for mentioning how a fire on the bare ground can cause a root fire . I see way too many videos of people , ( even those that i like ) , that have a fire on dry open ground in the middle of a forest , with dried twigs and leaves all around . They don,t realize how close they are to causing a forest fire .

[@damo6168]

Do your camp meals Joe robinet style... Dehydrated spaghetti bolognase, chilli con carne, etc etc. boil ya water chuck in the dehydrated food let it rehydrate and if too wet then place on heat and simmer away until you're happy

[@xciled69]

You should try Barbell Biltong! Similar to jerky but better in my opinion. Ethically farmed aussie beef too. Very good stuff.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks for the recommendation mate. I just had a lot at their website, looks like good stuff. I'll definitely check them out. Cheers

[@LandonWhitsitt]

Big bubbles = no troubles

[@barneyrubble2627]

Hey Scott, in a pinch, toss your air mattress in the hammock.

[@rogermace4516]

Awesome Vid again. I was wondering why you don't do some fishing when you camp near some water in this Vid? If you caught a fish or eel you would also give you a change of diet as you requested idea's for food. If you haven't tried eel, it really is yummy. There are plenty of recipes on the net. All the best

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, you're right. I've never been much of a fisherman, but something I'd like to get into. It wasn't till this trip that I saw my first fish in this pool, before that I had only ever seen tiny fish so was unsure if there were any larger fish. Next time I'll try my luck with a hand reel.

[@neilcaesar3403]

Hey mate, where abouts is this? Just a general location is cool. Cheers. Great vids.

[@bozin86]

Carry a small tub of pig fat or duck fat in your pack, it's useful for your knife maintenance, wound treatment, and like many other uses for it while out and about it can also be used as substitute for when you forget to bring your cooking butter.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Good idea. I have thought about that. Though I've never dealt with animal fat before, is it something that needs to be refrigerated or it's ok at room temperature?

[@bozin86]

Scotty's Gone Walkabouts the fat turns to liquid at about 40°c and when it cools it turns to wax consistency, so needs a good container, lifespan of most fats not refrigerated for eating I would say about 6-7 months, pig fat lasts much longer about a year or so not refrigerated, in the fridge they last longer obviously, and even old fat has good uses. You can just render some pig fat of a pork belly or some similar cut of meat yourself.

[@josephbrillinger4643]

The millbank water bag does not filter out bacteria, parasites, chemicals or pesticides. So if you are worried and don't want to have to boil the water first, check out 'LifeSraw Universal' you can add that filter to current water bottle and it filters everything (except viruses). Cheers, keep it up!

[@gride5153]

Lucky you didn't break your ankle, heli rescues are VERY expensive - best to avoid them where you can. As for the water, I always err on the side of caution and just filter all my drinking water. I love a veggie stew with bread -, especially in winter. Marrickville Markets has some great bbq Bilton/Jerky. Have you used the airmat in the hammock? If so, did it work well?

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, Yeah lucky it wasn't a break. Though, I've read that heli rescues are free as long as it's a legit rescue and you're not abusing the system. Hopefully I never have to find out haha. Good idea with the veggie stew and bread. I haven't been to Marrickville Markets in a while, I'll have to check it out again. Nah I haven't used the air mat in the hammock, I've thought about it but it seems like it'd be uncomfortable. I'll have to give it a go next time. Thanks for watching mate

[@hikerdan6013]

An air-mattress works best with a two layer hammock so it doesn't slide around. You have to way under inflate but it works. Underquilts are expanse and the air-mattress is a good alternative until you can afford one. I am really enjoy your videos!

[@hermit6208]

Hey Scott. Great video. As far as your water goes I would not trust a river of that size. In Northern New England I always try to drink out of Springs that we have an abundance here, as well as small creeks. Usually that water hasn't been stagnant or have areas with there are a lot of fish, beavers, and waterfowl that's leave their waste. Animal waste can bring with it giardia, which is a parasite that grows in your small intestine and can lead to serious gastric stress. I'll spare you the details. But in warm climate where you can't rehydrate effectively because of said gastric issues you can find yourself in serious trouble. Had a friend who got it out hunting one day. He had a rough go of it for a couple days before medication took effect. I always boil but your Sawyer should filter out the protozoa that cause giardia, as well as other microscopic nasties.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, thanks for the comment. I really appreciate your input. You make some good points.

[@seasonallocation9428]

hey , like your vids muchly ,, on the water topic of water , its better to be safe then sorry ,, seen dead animals in many a stream and river ,

[@hikerinaustralia]

Agree, Better to filter using the sawyer or use puritabs than end up with gastro when you are out hiking. Just not worth the risk. Only takes a few minutes to filter.

[@mitchdevitt8545]

Make some damper bit of flour bit of water and some vegemite EASY.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yeah I do love a good damper and honey. I'll have to include it on my next vid.

[@solwoodcroft8886]

love the vids mate. Can i ask what ferro rod do you use? thanks again for you vids .

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, glad you're enjoying the vids. I made my own ferro rod using a 10mm rod I bought off eBay and some antler I got from the pet store.

[@danielwheeler7552]

I always carry purification tablets as a back up incase im not 100% confident. As for food ideas ur limited by ur imagination . And if course how much u want to carry...

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Very true mate.

[@Catmoore60]

I wonder if you could tuck one of the Mylar emergency blankets underneath you in your hammock to reflect your body heat back at you rather than heat sinking out under your back...thoughts? They’re very light, and not lumpy. Ps: Do you have Zatarain’s red beans and rice there? That is fantastic camping fodder...complete protein, and whoa boy spicy. I add in some veg if I’ve got it, and it’s great.

[@Juisu_offic]

Nice video, searching for a good spot but too strict here in my location other than your own land or forest. btw Subbed.

[@reecekoskinas128]

is this the same natio park as the one from your toddy's hermit hut bushcraft vid? by the way, great vids mate!

[@natalieduncan3791]

I guess a topo map is used to fine your way out. I'd wouldn't be to confident to not get lost.

[@bruceparr1678]

For three decades I hiked around NSW and drank whatever water I came across. Then on one trip I got a bug. The illness was so bad that ever since I have always boiled the billy and got used to drinking black tea.

[@cwilliams1948]

What type of pouch are using for your fire kit and other tools?

[@marcknight2211]

That's an ear of corn. Corn on the cob.

[@joshgowers8123]

Hey mate, great videos. It's clear you care for the country and tread lightly on the land you're in. Assuming that you're southwest of Sydney, it might be a good idea to let the local Dharawal mob know that you've found some of their art there, I'm sure they'd love to hear about it if they aren't already aware of the spot.

[@philbolton1300]

Hi Scotty love your videos and approach filtering water should always be done especially drinking have canoed and treked in Canada where there are over 2 million fresh water lakes, wetlands, rivers we always build water for 5min using a rolling boil, the other point would be a pair of leather riggers gloves nibble and light weight protect yourself and hands from nasty.

[@thjeokthjeok443]

Scotty ,s Just think if everyone ate Kangaroo meat we wont have many left ! I live on 7Acres of bush land , mid north coast , i try to help nature ! was hopping to get more on what vegetation we could eat .

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey mate, I'm jealous! I would love to live on 7 acres. Yeah I agree with your point. I mostly eat a vegetarian diet, and only treat myself to a kangaroo steak once a week. That is what I have read is best for the human body. I think society eats way too much meat these days. It's just too convenient for people. The point I'm trying to make with kangaroo, is that they are free range and don't require resource intensive farming. The last thing I want to see is their numbers dramatically reduced. We all need to eat less meat.

Scotty,s i am a women , i lived inland for some time in a double Decker bus with my children , then bought my own land closer to town when i split from huby . You say lucky ? i bought it for 42 thousand dollars over 25 years ago . i own 2 hills - but i terraced it on one side and left the other for nature . I also prefer vegetarian but still eat some chicken and fish . Yes we all need to eat less . I really would like some information on more bush tucker and other plants that are edible in Australia , also would like to know how people dealt with the ticks .

If everyone ate Roo meat we'd still have MILLIONS of the bloody things LOL! :) I don't eat Roo meat at all ... nearly every single one I've seen is full of worms ...
