Injured In The Australian Wilderness || When Things Don't Go To Plan.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hope you guys enjoy this one. It's a shame things didn't go to plan, but hey, thats life in the bush. Also, I've decided to create a Patreon. If you enjoy my films and find value in them, it would be great if you would consider supporting me. Thanks legends and I hope you're all keeping well! www.patreon.com/scottysgonewalkabouts

[@markwis5285]

love your adventures and been doing my research on a good camping knife ... from Qld .

[@evolutionreviews3816]

Love the adventure

[@walkingwolfsunrise]

All good young fella. Keep up the great work.

[@riverwalkeraustralia]

Hey Scotty, if you set up a monthly option instead of per video I'll support you too mate

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

@@markwis5285 Thanks mate. Make sure you check out Kor Knife and Tool. He makes some great knives.

[@mupdog9697]

I love the Bell Birds in the background. Sound of the true Aussie bush.

[@billyaitken1713]

🤠👍pure magic, bell birds & whip birds. That walk-in bit was awesome😍👏👏👏

[@awildandsimplelife]

I noticed that too!

[@chialara5302]

Is that what they’re called? I’ve always called them ‘bing’ birds (my dog is called Binging- Bundjalung for turtle- so I always tell him they’re his bing birds and feel very excited whenever we hear them!)

[@RJNumbat]

Just for interest those birds are called Bell Miners. The common name refers to their bell-like call. 'Miner' is an old alternative spelling of 'myna'.

[@ozzygrunt4812]

Well done Scotty, I’ve carried a lot of injuries over the years and rolling my ankles was right up there. Wise decision to cut your trip short mate, love your work.

[@46tatty]

You should have soaked it in the river cold water would help the swelling and use a stick while walking.

[@shanesigley5625]

And wear GP's for more ankle support. (General Purpose Boots for the Royal Australian Army)

[@naomimoran5564]

Wish we had the rivers flowing like that out here, we have water right now but it'll be gone once the rain stops. Living in the drought area, used to camp by the river as kids. Was lovely to wake up to

[@AndyTychon]

Beautiful location Scotty, great video as always. Hope the ankle gets better quickly. When you do that sort of injury always remember RICE....Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. I was thinking that cold water would’ve been great to ease swelling.

[@patdevlinmusic]

Cheers for using a couple of my songs again mate! Ripper spot. Hope the ankle heals up quick 👍🏽

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Anytime mate! Goes perfectly with the vids. Thanks again for letting me use them. 🤙

[@benbatty1859]

Nice work Pat

[@drinksafter]

Where can i find your music

[@patdevlinmusic]

Trent Singh Can find on Spotify & ITunes! Cheers mate

[@cambojones3100]

nice songs i subscribed bud

[@benng6029]

Did you consider using a walking stick after you did your ankle Scotty? Maybe start using trekking poles and can also use them on the tarp. Love the video.

[@1556peterc]

Agree on trekking poles especially while solo. May have saved the worst of the ankle roll and gives you 4wd for the walk out.

[@trevorbridge3466]

Amazing place Scotty. Love your work and the way you keep it real.

[@richardparrott7192]

Feel for you, Scotty! I have a bad ankle that rolls, so i always use a hiking stick. Helps heaps!

[@u2fanforever1]

I thought living in Canada I lived in the most beautiful spot on the planet. Guess I could be wrong. Love the videos Scotty and get that ankle right. Best wishes from Canada ! Oh, and my Alton Goods tarp arrived this week. Thanks for turning me on to it in the vids!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great spot! Good thing that you made it out before all of that rain. Thanks for letting us tag along! Great to see you again!

[@jernoutdoors9779]

Nice one Scotty !, always enjoy your videos

[@paavomihalakinen346]

Hope You get well very soon. Take care Scotty because I love your video. Can't waite for more of Australia.

[@1993Revhead]

This channel is way to underrated

[@billcotton1551]

I swear Scotty ,the food you make looks better than restaurant fare. I can see why you want to stay there even with the bad ankle . Beautiful place.

[@lyndon9644]

The local blue mountains ❤️

[@danw8012]

Should have put your ankle in the cold river for a bit. Would help with the swelling. And probaly feel good aswell. Hope its ok now mate

[@ILikeTurtles42069]

The quality of your vids just gets better and better, Scotty. You're an inspiration! Get yourself up north into some rainforest when you get the chance :)

[@trentkrikken9873]

Allways enjoy watching ur video's Scotty, thanks for sharing this amazing country's bush with us.

[@leascobie91]

Once you roll an ankle, it seems to remain weak. I would consider a brace or binding for it, from now on as a preventative measure. You still managed to take some incredible footage, and I always love the accompanying soundtrack. Thank you for another great video.

[@Astrobutch0901]

Another great video shows that it’s easy to get yourself in trouble in the bush. Take extra care and carry the precautions you need to stay safe. Hope the injury sorts itself out Scotty. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the next one, maybe a canoe camp, give the ankle a chance to sort itself out! Go well..

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate. Yeah I think the next few videos will be easy ones with a to less hiking. Canoe vids sound prefect.

[@markwis5285]

Glad u toughed it out as well a you did. I wear high ankle support hikers now when in my back yard (similar to there but with palm trees all along the creek sides). Up here we get Sooty Grunter in the local waterways. you can cook them the same way as you did your sweet potato. get that injury sorted and look forward to your next adventure....!

[@FlyingBrickADV]

Not uncommon to roll the same ankle again. I take hiking poles, can use as poles for the tarp and handy when carrying a load over rough terrain. I used to think they were for oldies until I did extensive hiking overseas through the himalayas. They are brilliant in the mountains.

[@BillVorhees]

Really enjoy your videos. I usually carry tylenol in my mend kit for such cases. If tylenol is not available you can use the inner bark of willow and make a tea.

[@maiahenderson3542]

Video quality keeps getting better and better :) sorry to hear about the ankle though. Your content has been keeping me sane during Melbourne Lockdown so keep it coming!!

[@ewengillies9826]

You win some you loose some sometimes Scotty . This time you won because you found an incredible spot to come back to. Sorry about the ankle mate but most of us have done the same thing once . Great shots of the area and wildlife . Thanks for the adventures you shate with us. Bushyboy Oz.

[@scotteramsey]

Great adventure as always. Hope the ankle is better. Looking forward to the next one.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

You're a legend mate. Great video. Looking forward to your next trip back. What a gorgeous place.

[@corz484]

Scotty, I had a pack swing on a walk once, went head first into the creek bed rocks. I too should of gone back to the car, but pushed on. I used cold stones from the creek to curb the swelling, give it a try if you get hurt in the future, even if you have to strap them to your leg/swollen part. Makes the rest of your journey much better.

[@80ZX]

Sorry about the injury Bud. Four words Scotty....Green and Gold Celtas, never fail.

[@brucehenderson1211]

I take a small selection of Abu Garcia Droppen spinners & Tasmanian Devils, Trout pattern, when I fish fresh water trout. They work well for me. I don't seem to have much luck using Plugs even rattling Plugs. Hope this info helps Scott, tight lines.

[@archygrey9093]

Its nice to know I'm not the only one to have a birds wing worth of feathers in my hat

[@williamthegriffin6185]

Better to be cautious than sorry. Stinks that you sprained the ankle. Gorgeous country. Heal up and try again! Keep up the vids

[@mequilmedina3571]

Hay scotty sorry to see u roll the ankle.. I'm from the desert of arizona native American USA ..We have some similar county. I've done the same thing twice once u do that it kinda happens over and over. So I went to 11" high boots with more ankle support and two socks on it will help you lots..try it nothin like twisted ankle to ruin good trip.. like ur adventures we do same thing over in Arizona .. good luck player

[@GIJoel023]

Scotty your filming and editing is outstanding, awesome content mate!

[@roybinson6460]

Thanks, Scotty, another great video to enjoy! That was really a beautiful spot, the river was perfect for tenkara fishing. A minimalist fly fishing kit, perfect when backbacking. That tarp setup looked interesting, would be interested to see it in detail. Greetings from Sweden!

[@adamashby8388]

Good work there Scotty. Some amazing spots you've camped at.

[@OldBenjaminKenobi]

Love the new video Scotty. Keep hoping to bump into ya one day out bush. Sorry to hear you took a tumble mate

[@coptotermes]

Beautiful part of the country, thanks for sharing. Sad that you had to pull the pin but hey, that’s the way it goes sometimes.

[@evolutionreviews3816]

Hey Scotty love the trip abousoultely amazing

[@lanerees9773]

Thankyou for keeping me sane in stage 4 restrictions haha love your vids keep up the good work mate!

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome hike man! Thanks for sharing

[@The_Wandering_Woodster]

Love your videos...... almost as much as trying to work out where you are from time to time

[@love4cristiano]

Awesome as always Scotty.

[@robb3341]

I did the same thing once scotty, but it was my knee that I folded back, and about 20kms from my car! That was not a fun hike back!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Ouch!

[@naomimoran5564]

Dad tore the ligaments in his knee up a Hill, had surgery and months of rehab for it Made for a long walk down

[@awildandsimplelife]

That's a real adventure! How exciting!

[@drinksafter]

Great video as always. I pack strapping tap in my first aid kit so i can strap me knee that gives me grief, might help you with your ankle.

[@richardrichards5982]

I recommend trekking poles, good boots always tied strong, then if everything goes wrong, a good splint and voltarin tabs. It doesn't matter where you are in Australia, we have very rough terrain.

[@gabijones2445]

Your Winter is so much better than mine, lol. Beautiful place, thanks for sharing it with us. Hope your ankle is all better; maybe start wearing a support on that ankle when hiking? Take care, you and yours stay well.

[@theresabassemier9901]

Another great video!

[@DaneHunnerup]

Hey fella! Really love your channel. I'm a recent Sydney resident and this is exactly what I've been looking for. My favourite was you being honest about getting lost, which is me. As an older bloke with injuries, what you're doing is a bit out of my reach. If you ever feel inspired to do like a supershot of walks that are in recovery range without needing an epirb, I will buy your merch. Peace d/

[@waynemcmillan5970]

Thanks Scotty.

[@JonesysJourneys]

Man that river is pristine! Good call on playing it safe mate, that ankle looked like it had a heart beat of its own!

[@G0ingNative]

Hi Scotty. Sorry about the ankle mate. Good call going back. Some wilderness 1at aid, soak the ankle in a stream for 20min. Strap up and hike. When you get to camp sleep with your injured limb elevated higher than your heart. This will help with some of the throbbing and reduce the swelling. Best of luck. Hope the ankle heals well.

[@RustyNox]

Thanks for sharing Scotty, beautiful country we live in, kudos (:

[@keithmcewan7799]

Loved your video adventure! Keep it up. It might not have gone as planned but that was some beauty land you took us through. The cold water would be good to dip your ankle in ...

[@harrison5911]

nice video mate like the new intro and that river looked really nice and a trout fishing tip always cast upstream or always face upstream otherwise you spook them and it is the way they face in the river normally as well.

[@lindafromidaho2932]

Stunning!!!

[@connorhousel2817]

Hey man awesome video just some advice for trout fishing you should cast downstream with something that has a blade and it spins it’s very shiny as your railing it. Lewers we use here in the states are rooster tails,Phoebe ,spoon ,and flies

[@Buzz420]

safety 1st bro! it wasnt completely ruined, you still got out to the bush. cheers from Idaho, USA

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome mate, love it down there 👍👍

[@TheBrierose]

That's a nice little spot, love the sound of the birds. I walked into the medical centre with what I thought was just a sprained ankle and they wouldn't let me walk out without crutches and plaster, I'd broken part of my heel. Take care.

[@thorn936]

Good call! better safe than sorry, stay safe mate!

[@getsmart3701]

Great work mate...your videos are excellently shot and edited plus the locations are primo. You're doing the Nature of Australia a huge service mate, email your patreon link to Tourism Australia, you're clearly doing their work for them just better.

[@Acton65]

Enjoyed your trip very much! Loved the music too. Sorry about the ankle.

[@dsquareoutdoors6597]

I’m gutted for you mate. Love watching your videos and love going wild camping here in the uk🇬🇧 definitely need to get down under again soon.

[@littlepony6762]

Water so clear love the kangaroos so Beautiful Thank You hope your ankle heals fast 👍

[@alistairj4851]

Get well soon fella.

[@annielongley6863]

I came for the bushcraftiness but I stay for the food!

[@Sam-sdh]

You are a beast man, i've rolled my ankles a bunch of times as I skate and walking along that river bed and trail is the absolute last thing id wanna do with one! Super nice looking spot down there though, sounds phenomenal with the birds, river and fire going. Keep it up mate!

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Good stuff Scott.... Just park off with your beers and gin... Get the rod in

[@ArmenianLifewithMitch]

You made the right call Scotty...wise decision to pull the pin when you did. 👌 On the bright side, you gave us another wonderful video and found an awesome spot for a future walkabout! Hope you recover quickly mate...take care...regards, Mitch

[@karendecosse2580]

Hi Scotty, that water temp was perfect to bring down the swelling on your ankle, lovely spot!

[@miken7629]

I always hike with a hiking stick. Increases my stability of rough terrain and downhill and has saved me from falling multiple times. Also, it helps going uphill by using my arms to pull myself up.

[@English.Andy1]

Might be worth taking a hiking pole until that ankle heals up a bit. Helps to take some of the weight off. Also you could use the pole in conjunction with your tarp. Great to see the fishing is improving 😉😎 Take care Scotty & cheers for taking us along.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yeah I may just have too, Though, it's difficult to film and carry a tripod and hiking pole. As always, thanks for watching mate!

[@markwilson1192]

Hey Scotty. I have a dodgy ankle that I roll all the time - even just walking around in the city. Sadly, because of this, I don't tend to hike these days - I need my 4WD haha. Love watching your videos though, you get into some truly beautiful places. Hope the ankle mended quickly!

[@myotherlinefishing]

I love Australia! Really want to come back soon!!! Great video! 🙏

[@tassiebushcraft3965]

Great video. Good thing you tapped when you did, even without the sprained ankle, trying to head out on the creek would have been near impossible given the epic rain system that hit the east coast.

[@Godfreed87]

You should try some spinners Or Tazzy devils for trout fishing. They are trout lures. I always use spinners

[@marianfrances4959]

I know the desire to push on. Knee issue here. Could not live without my outdoor adventures! I often seek out cold streams for knee therapy. Easy enough to find in Canadian mountains. Love your vids!! 😉🇨🇦

[@billyaitken1713]

Always a pleasure catching one of your videos, I'm not much of a 'wrap' fan but you eat bloody well when you're out & about. Biiiiig old grey roo😊👍. Beautiful country round there brother😎👍

[@jslnhamsasaksin9190]

Hi a greeting from Bogotá, Colombia. Un saludo desde Bogota Colombia (joseluis)

[@justindawson3428]

I just did a hike in Kakadu and rolled my ankle pretty bad and had to hike 10k's out, made a mess of my ankle but rather that than sit at home. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

Oh, don't you just get homesick when you see all that beautiful Australian bush? You do if you haven't seen it for a few years.

[@etard82]

Just stumbled upon your channel. Crap deal about the bung ankle. You're doing a Bush craft channel correctly. I subbed. P.s. I love that you have some chill-step, for music.

[@huntfisheatrepeat2373]

Bummer about the ankle bro. I don’t know a thing about fishing in Australia but here in the northeast USA the best trout lures I’ve used are Panther Martins and Rooster Tails. I highly suggest giving them a go. Hey better soon my friend!

[@BCBoatsAndCanoes]

Great video, thanks for your efforts, stay healthy!

[@wazoologist]

Unlike some other channels, I love watching your vids, also Sintax77, because a number of things sometimes go wrong. Happens to me often! :)

[@benm6139]

My alton hammock and tarp has finally arrived to the USA super stoaked to use it, hope the ankle heals soon

[@hikking.with.harrison]

Sorry to see you injured Scotty. Hope you recover quickly mate.

[@benbatty1859]

Good call man and the fishing in winter is shit down here freshwater anyhow. take care catch u one day!

[@bittidude]

Always have a roll of sporttape in youre pack, i twisted my ankle pretty bad on a fishing tripp. fell throu a beaver dens roof with my back pack, aprox 25kg and all the weigt on my right foot when it landed on a small logg, I still remember the crunchy noise my ankle did when it happened and the pain was horrific. All i did was pull the strings on my hiking boots as hard as I could and walked back to the car 3 km. There I took the boot of, if I had removed the boot where i hurt my ankle I would never gotten the shoe back on. After that tripp I always have sport tape in my back pack.

[@offbush5470]

Great video as always mate!

[@RPlayer15VIDS]

Spewing mate, looked like an awesome area! Rolled ankles can be the worst, done it a handful of times on both of mine and has put me on crutches a couple times too. Loving the videos though mate! Would love to find some of these places as I'm from the Sydney area also.

[@freddiekinnaputi]

hope your injury heals quickly. peace

[@cjod33]

How Times have changed, I used to walk n packhorse that area carrying a rifle and mustering cattle!

[@jimfatyakmcgregor8867]

Brilliant stuff mate. Sorry about the ankle, hope your OK, I really appreciate your video’s, but please take care. Not good to injure yourself when your in a remote location on your own.

[@bryanbadger6841]

G'day Scotty. When this 73yr old used to tramp here in Nz, used to carry a roll of heavy duty insulation tape in case of a situation like yours. Wrap it around the outside of your boot using the boot leather as your support up around your ankle. You probably should have camped there and Turned around around next day instead of carrying on. Don't forget, 10km in, means 10km out. Ok..lecture over. I don't mind waiting for you to get better. Just get better. And yep i look forward to seeing your videos. Take care mate.

[@etard82]

He was wearing some shit foot wear. In regards to ankle support. Great tip btw.

[@bryanbadger6841]

@@etard82 yeah my boots were Italian design. "Osolo." And I wore gaiters as well. Kinda ruins your day if things turn to custard with your ankles while tramping alone. One thing to remembr also when hiking in the bush, is that the widest point on your body should be your shoulders. Not extra attachments on your pack. Lessons over. Thanks for your comment. Stay safe.

[@ErichWelsch]

No pain no gain. what did you learn? great vid brother. hope you get better. till next time.
