[@DT-lw9eu]

This is still the best channel on KZbin, no gimmicks and every episode is different. Nice to see someone enjoying life during the covid pandemic.

[@thecm8104]

Covid pandemic? LOL I’m in Australia and there are 0 cases for like 5 months so idk what ur talking about

[@thecm8104]

At least in Victoria there isn’t

[@reefjames6302]

@@thecm8104 Melbourne was in a shit state for a good while, but nowhere near like the rest of the world.

[@DT-lw9eu]

@@thecm8104 I'm in England and we're in a right mess, that's why i mentioned the pandemic. Not everyone is in melbourne mate, have a look at world news and not just local news and you might realise what's going on in the real world.

[@davidcastillo2564]

This guy is just a legend he doesn't let anything make his day bad he doesn't care about the weather or hate comments he's just living life

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Yes he’s amazing legend

[@rangedraggon]

I really appreciate your story. I can see now why you stay so positive. Not Just because you're killing it on youtube but because you can contrast it to a miserable grind. I work in a vinyard in Idaho its pretty humble but its beautiful and healthy. You help remind me to be grateful. I'll be watching when you get more freedom. Also I'm sorry to turn this dark but.. China dumped a total of 200.7 million cubic meters of waste into its coastal waters in 2018, a 27% rise on the previous year and the highest level in at least a decade. Thank you for using your platform to raise awareness.

[@TheEnzo9491]

You can tell how he genuinely lights his own fires from scratch. He doesn't know how to use a disposable BBQ. What a legend.

Super common in UK. Nobody owns a BBQ mostly just grab some from supermarket on way to park in summer with friends and BBQ and relax.

What the place is: literally just a boat shed full of garbage. How Field Days sees it: 20 stars hotel. We have so much to learn from this guy

[@BrittaCoaching]

Agreed!!

[@user-jj6dh7zg7x]

It’s so refreshing to see. Especially in this materialistic world.

[@ArtistFormerlyKnownAsShitlord]

Getting paid for doing something you love to do is living the dream, dude. I take my hat off to you, and thank you for the hours and hours of entertainment.

[@hann4844]

I love the way Australians compliment people “she’s a weapon of a chick” love it haha ❤️

[@mithrandirthegrey7644]

I chuckled at that as well. Don't think I've ever heard anyone call their chick a 'weapon' before xD.

[@ahmedalmurshidi2638]

The best thing about this channel and Field Days is that he enjoys every little thing in his life, he is always positive no matter what, and that is something most people don't have. Best of luck to you dear.

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Fun to see this video. Also the Q&A answered the questions I had in the back of my head. In the pandemic time I cut the decision of starting to ride motorcycles or not. I obviously chose yes, and I did, made me feel so more alive already. Mentally and physically. And me being a positive and optimistic person already, that improved a lot more with that. Also I somehow I am loving it more after motorcycle riding to be out and about. Explore things, view things differently and appreciate everything nature has to offer more. Hence that explains why I am looking a lot of travel content from you and many others, from artists to motorvloggers to gamers.

[@SloanRanger61]

This Q&A format worked out really well. Great to get to know you better. Definitely do more in future videos.

[@Brando_000]

Like how this dude makes it feel like he’s actually hanging out with you

[@rockmicah4060]

This is my favorite guy on KZbin ,,,, mad dawg

[@luckypete33]

To many people think success is money and things.....you have mastered success. Fun to watch and an inspiration to others looking for more in life than just grinding.

[@shifty_s197]

lets just take our time to appreciate how it took 10 months to get him another 400k subs, you deserve every bit of money and love you get out of youtube because you take time out your day to explain to us what to do in certain situations and you respect nature and practice safe fishing etc. everything you have is because of your wonderful human being interaction with nature. good for you lad very happy 4 u 💯💯

[@donniev8181]

Everyone loves a genuine person and that's why you're so successful on youtube! Im going on 8yrs without television so I know where you're coming from. You may wanna check Expedia for flights to Perth but thank you for all the great content. Oh and are your hats fitted, God bless.

[@eddyyowvaleriano4048]

Write a book about starting youtube, living your dream/traveling, and survival! I think that would be a killer book!

[@teachingenglishinjapan545]

Totally understand the drive to get home, I live in Japan (and love it here), but haven’t been back home to visit my friends and family since 2019. Thanks as always for the great videos, your optimism never fails to slap a smile on my face.

What a great Q & A session! Thx so much Matt for all the info. Sure wish we could have an updated Q&A session, here in 2023! I absolutely LOVE your videos! Especially the these tropical (Older ones right now I guess) videos of Indonesia & Bali. I don't know if it's just how beautiful they are, the surroundings, or if it's because it's the winter?! (LOL!!!) What you do seems SO much fun... living through you dear,... living through you!

What’s going on dawgie 🤙🏻 I have to say your channel is one of my favorites to watch.

[@navidforouhar]

Started watching your videos a few weeks ago and before that I used to have insomnia and bad sleeps. First time as I was watching your vid, boom, I fell asleep right after finished watching it! Your vids literally have cured my bad sleeps since a couple of weeks ago! I owe you dawgie and I'll do whatever I can to support ya! Actually your vids are kinda like those ASMR vids to me and the amount of positive energy flowing in them are INSANE! You should come to Iran someday(obv after this Corona thing)! Since Iran is a 4 season country all the time, you can literally do all kind of survival videos here! Also, there are big mama fishes here in the Caspian sea and Persian gulf waiting to be caught! Keep up the great work dawgie! 🤙🤙

Hell yeah. I’d definitely donate to help clean those beaches up. Sometimes I’ll miss what he says cause I’m just looking at how much trash there is. It’s so sad.

Yes but Indonesia as a whole is the worlds second largest ocean polluter after china. So the whole country would have to change to make a difference. Type in Indonesia's plastic problem into youtube, it'll blow your mind.
