LIVING THE DREAM | A Snowy Mountain Cabin \ Trout Fishing Adventure

I hike into the Australian High Country to a remote timber cabin where I stay the night and spend the next day trout fishing and wild camping. I also get caught out in the rain which made for a very wet and cold night! Super fun trip though. Enjoy.

[@skinnyboy143]

Yes I would love to live in that cabin I would of gone back to the cabin, lit a fire and dried my clothes out

[@connorcruikshank5766]

Best video yet mate!! 100% agreed with you, it's been a dream of mine since a kid of living in the high country just the old timers.

[@treklinda1309]

Oh yes timber cabin please :) This snake was so scary ... but the video was lovely. Thank you. 🌹

[@calvinsokha]

That’s also my dream too mate! Where can you find this cabin? I’m so jealous right now. Lol Have a good day!

[@andrewgreen2726]

Scotty, your story telling and camera work are world class. It's like watching a travel show on tv but way better.

[@peteratkinson8957]

totally agree on story telling and camera work. well done scott

[@KissFromTheWorld]

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." Scotty, this is my dream. I'm speechless. This video is masterful. Happy adventures! Cheers, Domenico.

Is this a Chris McCandless quote?

@@elscruffomcscruffy8371 Yep!

[@bektodedic6860]

Hello from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Just a piece of advice. When your cooking potatoes in a pan at first add a little bit of water for them to cook and then later add oil to fry them and give them a nice color.

[@bullsnutsoz]

Gday Bosnian: so you blokes also see the pure beauty in these mountains even though they are so different

[@claimjumpers29]

This movie was the 1st movie I saw with my 1st girl friend ever, June Wallace! Love an miss you, June!!!!

[@Astrobutch0901]

Just love your work Scotty, the most relaxing way to spend half an hour..

[@muallimah65]

gorgeous gum trees!

[@coolblue5929]

You want those little Celta spinners mate. Size of your thumbnail. They’re the go. Can have a whole selection in a little caviar jar. 😎👍

[@whatspoppinboyz]

best outdoors man around

[@Dstick1Spearfishing]

LOL, I stayed in that hut 25years ago, thought it had been destroyed by the fires, I have a great photo of the trout I caught up there in front of it. Hope the brumbies are still waking you up in the mist of the first light. Cheers for sharing the fun gave me some great memories of my two blue heelers curled up in front of the fire place!! Stay safe!

[@tleej26]

I grew up watching The Man from Snowy River. Really enjoy your videos and your genuine appreciation of the outdoors🏕🇳🇿

[@SkyeDamo]

Wow man you have made our night again. I grew up In this cold weather , miss this a lot . Thanks for the splash of memories cheers .

[@drc1883]

I lived in Sydney for 7 years back in the 70's and spent a lot of time out in the bush. Your films bring back a lot of great memories for me. Thanks!

[@astridmayr7149]

OMG, my favourite hut in the snowy's. I have hiked there several times, the fist time at around age 13 and we had to cut short our hike because of bushfires on Black Mountain. Love your Snowy films, as someone who sees them as her home even though she lives in Europe now, reminds me of my childhood and how much I miss home (even after more than 20 years).

[@Dazck9s]

Love the sound of rain on the tent

[@garrisonkuhlmann8833]

So beautiful, you're a lucky man to live in such an amazing country!!

[@In_the_shed]

Man I love our country. I just love the feeling of Australiana and wish for exactly that. A timber hut in high country with seasonal snow on my own plot of land. Good stuff Scotty, keep the top quality content coming mate.

[@invinoveritas6859]

I can't imagine living life any other way mate.This is very me !!! 😁

[@zyawotha]

every shot looks like a painting. great photography

[@melh6246]

“Watch some bush telly” made me laugh. Loving these videos! Learning a lot about our Australian bush. Keep them coming Scottie.

[@embracing_cassie1635]

Mate, I have absolutely no clue how you ended up in my recommended videos... but I am so thankful you have. The few I have watch so far are absolutely stunning and amazing! Thankyou for making such beautiful videos, you have inspired me to get my old setup back out and get exploring again 😍😍

[@shaneflickinger]

Scotty, they make rain pants bro! Get you a pair! Hehe, you silly Aussie. 😜

[@ronaldwhite5670]

A true Aussie experience Scotty, thank you once again, your camera work was excellent.

[@chrispeterson1247]

A true Australian experience 30-40 yrs ago maybe. In 2021 a true Aussie experience is siping soy lattes, enjoying your vegan brunch, holding your man purse while complimenting your mates man bun. 🤣

[@bigbossignition]

You’re not allowed to sleep in the hut to preserve the place but you’re allowed to have a FIRE inside a historical timber cottage...LOL makes complete sense 🤣 who came up with these rules? Seriously great episode Scotty. I completely agree with you, all I want is a small cottage on some property and I’d be satisfied.

[@jxmai7687]

maybe just nobody can't give out a safety certification for the building.

[@Sgarnoncunce]

Well if it burns down then there's no historical site to preserve so it doesn't matter anymore :P I wonder how many used condoms have been found in these cabins lol

[@Judemay01]

Because having a small fire in the same stone fire place saves burning the ground in a separate spot every time someone camps at a hut. Folks hiking into these places tend not to be the folk who insist on having a massive fire either, just enough to warm up and maybe cook on.

[@chrispeterson1247]

Because it’s Australia lol that land of regulation and being told what you can and can’t do! I would have absolutely slept in it. Lol! Old boy should have been in there out of that rain. I wonder if he knows what a weather report is? 🤣🥴

[@hikerinaustralia]

Nice one mate. One thing I love (and respect) about the Snowy Mountain region is how quickly the weather can change. Years ago on a hike from Kiandra to Kosciuszko with some mates, we went from a sunny and warm blue sky day to a sudden squall of heavy rain in about 30 mins.. (just enough time frantically put our tents up on the side of the track). Reminds me of the scene form 'The Man from Snowy River' when Jessica says "One moment it's paradise, the next it's trying to kill you". :)

[@chrisdewhurst719]

So true. Felt great watching from my warm Sydney home, knowing what the poor fella was going through.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yeah definitely mate. The weather up there has a mind if its own. Haha that's a great quote. So true.

[@ottoswinebar]

Australian Hamper corned beef. Best hiking food you can get when the fish aren’t biting. Great video BTW.

[@janberge7014]

Scotty we watch and watch your video's over and over, you are so genuine, you show so many aspects of Australia, so beautiful. Thank you

[@campbell198]

Scotty it makes my day every time I see your notification pop up on my screen. You really do inspire me so much and all I want when I am older is to do the stuff you are doing. You really do leave me in awe every time I finish watching your videos and can never wait for the next one. Thanks for being such a inspiration!!

[@ShaneAllwood1]

Your cinematography in this video is first class.. awesome video Scotty

[@muhammadizzatmohdnasir9745]

Australia is so amazingly beautiful.

[@l214laus]

Magnificent snow gums.

[@wyndhampsychologicalsoluti4379]

Bang!! Sunday night viewing sorted.

[@brucie-of-bangor528]

Fabulous country, that, the Jangugal Wilderness in Kosciusko NP; that wild country between Kiandra and Khancoban in the Murray watershed. I'm glad to see no evidence of the 2020 bushfires, unlike my favourite part of Kosciusko, the High Plains north of Kiandra in the Murrumbidgee watershed. Barbless hooks on a lure presents a problem, the fish uses the weight of the lure to free itself, but I have a solution - leave the spinning rod at home, take the fly rod and a bunch of flies tied on barbless hooks! Fishing something like a dry Royal Wulf down those glides with a brown nymph on a dropper below would be great fishing. Thanks for a great film, Scotty.

[@brucie-of-bangor528]

Looked like a Tiger snake for me, fairly common in the KNP, along with Red Belly Blacks, Eastern Browns and Death Adders. Got struck by an Eastern Brown I trod on fishing the upper Eucumbene many years ago; good thing I had my waders on at the time. Lesson - wear gaiters or waders all the time, KNP is the snake capital of NSW.

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

What a magic spot mate. Thanks for the great content. Love the effort and time you put in to bring us such great videos. 👍

[@marianfrances4959]

Taking a wet one for the team! Thank you, once again, for sharing the beauty of Australia! 😉👍🇨🇦🌲🔥🌘

[@mate7629]

Aww this wiped my stress at work got home and saw your new walk its like im there walking with you made me relax and will have a good sleep🥰

[@Jordy120]

Such beautiful countryside. Been down that way 3 times, one for skiing and twice during spring. Drove through the normally closed roads and the other via Tumut.

[@grahamsharpe4133]

Great stuff mate, it takes me back to very young days when we’d drove the sheep up to the high country from Berridale

[@grammacamper]

Nice video. Enjoy your commentary and love to watch your cooking. That trip looked so cold...brrrrr. Beautiful landscape.

[@farnorthpicker56]

Sure, show us that snake then go tromping through tall grass and brush along the creek...we were freaking out! Lol. You also had us shivering at the end!🥶

[@80ZX]

Epic trip Mate ! Thanks for sharing......Green and Gold Celtas are a must for trout streams Bud.

[@hmr171]

What a beautiful area. It reminds me of the Texas Hill Country. I would love to see you add a map inset showing the general area that you are in and also a more detailed map of the park you are in. I like to try and follow along on Google Earth while watching these types of videos and I'm trying to become more familiar with the geography of Australia.

[@AUmarcus]

It's the Snowy Mountains region of Australia....Kosciuszko National Park which covers areas in New South Wales and Victoria. "Wheelers Hut" is easy to find on google maps.

[@touringwithtyrone4933]

Stumbled on this channel and in a word... OUTSTANDING. the contrast of colours and the imagry just blew me away and i don't really notice stuff like that. Fantastic!!!

[@artk07]

Beautiful video, place and fishing. I have problems getting fish in with lures as well, but I've been told to set the hook and keep the rod down at 45 degree entire time when you're getting the fish in; as soon you get the rod upwards you will loose the fish. Just a little tip for ya ;)

[@thomasspainhour1112]

Stunning scenery 👌

[@alexstojanovic6960]

G’day Scotty, awesome video. 👍. I think your right about the snake being a Copperhead. There is also another snake called White-Lipped Snake which is a small snake. These are found at higher levels. Also don’t forget about the Funnel Web. They are also found up there!! 😱. I’ve been eating snakes for years whenever I go out taking photos. They’re are a great little snack! Problem is that I can’t stop at one!! 🤪

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Great trip Scotty! Thanks for bringing us along! HooRoo!

[@Borealwalkabouts]

Amazing scenery!

[@prajalrai2474]

What a way to end a weekend

[@johnsoutdoors126]

Man from snowy mountain ,Awesome as always.

[@sassmate1003]

You should make a secondary KZbin account to make videos talking about bushtucker and bushcraft items and call it scotties gone talkabouts

[@arnold4333]

Absolutely awesome way to spend a weekend

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

Such a stunning place, and that cabin in the morning light... Man from Snowy River, eat your heart out. 😃

[@KingShango]

What an awesome little hut. Love it

[@brianbuzzen]

Loved the pic of the sun rise shining on the hut = magical. So many postcard perfect moments. Thank you , cheers.

[@campbelldawes3584]

One of your best so far!

[@GreencampRhodie]

Magical. The dream. Priceless.

[@Beyondthebackyard-au]

Wow, you have really captured the beauty of this place. Could be your best camera work yet

[@gs083]

glad I found your channel. travelling light, eating healthy and respecting the country. love your work

[@steveswain2599]

Love your work mate. It’s great to see a young bloke like yourself that’s loves the outdoors some much and loves sharing his experiences. Thx mate

[@jennyleef1775]

Been checking the channel almost daily hanging out for a new adventure. Yay, got one. Thanks for the adventure and yep I'd love to live in the little cabin I'm a girl of simple needs.

[@Andyb2379]

Absolutely stunning mate. Beautiful country. Congratulations on your big day the other week. Cheers Scotty. - atb Andy

[@raftguy]

What a quality video Scotty! Makes me miss traveling in Australia. And lots of credibility to you for the biltong!

[@saggot420son]

Amazing country Scotty!!

[@TheNessmuk]

Great work! Beautiful place to be!

[@zili5167]

It’s just like my dream! Everything in the video is satisfying to watch!

[@glen9248]

Yep doing it oz style mate ‘ love the 30 min get away every time ‘

[@paulhardiman4602]

Beautiful. Reckon I walked that track on the easter weekend. Didnt go to the hut camped by the river instead. Just a stunning place!!

[@leej4914]

Absolutely awesome your videos are always fantastic and massive congrats on the marriage all the best to you both mate.

[@velebithost]

Very nice out there buddy. Love it! Thank you so much!🤙🤙🤙

[@stever7066]

The first camp site was pure Aus, historic hut, sun, snakes etc the 2nd site you'd teleported to England. Driving rain,soaked through, freezing cold, rolling hills, green countryside, decent river. Every camping trip ever here-brilliant. Very enjoyable vid, cheers for that. Look fwd to the next one.

[@seansmart3440]

Your choice of music is so perfectly matched to your exceptional imagery. Absolutely love your work.

[@MegaSkeet11]

Another amazing video.

[@thewoodsmanshollow7007]

Great video! I’ll be heading up to the high country in the next month, can’t wait!

[@cedarcreekbushcraft6942]

Love the videos...love the views

[@harrison5911]

Scotty mate you've done it again leaving us all speechless at the end of your video. when you hook a trout with barbless just make sure you keep the rod high and let it do all the work instead of just trying to reel it in, only reel it in when you lower your rod tip then bring it back up. Hopefully this tip helps keep it up Scotty.

[@PUUMBA4x4]

You need to get down to Craig’s hut in Victoria mate. It was the movies set for the man from snowy river

[@justinbillingsley2365]

I love these videos, they’re so relaxing. Keep it up brother👍

[@ch319ris]

Congratulations! She seems like a great girl. I really enjoy your work. Keep being awesome!

[@footdoc4235]

Looks amazing. I live in Canberra, so will absolutely be doing this in the very near future.

[@adammcguinness9950]

Camping weather at its finest. That fishing net was flat as a tack. You deal with the cold much better than I do.

[@nevillegarner4556]

Should’ve taken the gold pan Scotty. Dargals creek below wheelers hut was a big alluvial gold field in the 1800’s

[@prodbysass3476]

yessss another Scotty vid. been crazy binging your videos keep it up man

[@praveenhadimani8386]

Thanks for making such a content man. Always connects me to myself whenever i watch your videos. Since i'm also living alone, i just watch you videos atleast one per day. It's just connects us to the nature, those wonderful shots you capture make us to feel the nature around us. Thanks alot and always love your content man❤️✌🏻. And just want you continue, doing this kinda content.

[@shanegoh6625]

Wow! I’ve been to wheelers hut maybe 20 years ago. Beautiful place. I always dreaded the barefoot river crossings, rocks are sharp and since you’re trying to balance in flowing water you just have to commit to stepping on the sharp rocks which is so painful! Your video brings back memories. Tons of flies during summer. Lots of snakes too.

[@aussienscale]

Nice one Scotty, used to camp and fish around that area a lot in the younger days, Geehi is a nice spot, good fishing and some nice huts around the area too, keep up the great vids

[@emu4wdadventures631]

Great Vid. Enjoyed. Steve 🇦🇺

[@theantichrist4267]

that 1st house looks fancy

[@benharris5217]

Brillaint watch mate !

[@kenbaker4528]

Awesome video Scotty!

[@chrispeterson1247]

You gotta set that hook! Lol!!

[@Godfreed87]

Also as soon as fish on Keep your tip down. Don't let them jump. They can flick lure out on the jump.

[@stevemoore3384]

Scotty...... haven’t even watched it yet and I’ve already “liked” it bro. You had me at “mountain cabin”. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@WakuahOutdoors]

A very eventful trip made for a good watch. Some stunning shots there mate, particularly that last shot with the fog lifting from the river. Well done. I hear you about the cabin on a bush block. Me and my wife have been keeping a good eye out for some land. That's the dream.

[@CRFLAus]

Yowies up there mate. Much like the snakes, they like to be left alone.

[@chrisdewhurst719]

That was excellent mate. Some real challenges and triumphs in that trip. I liked the pace of the editing, you keep refining your cinema craft. Love ya work bro.

[@JoelQuinnPhotography]

Killing it Scotty!

[@mezanian]

Don't antagonise the Overseas viewers with the snakes and spiders..ha-ha. Seriously great content again. Thanks Scotty.

[@marianfrances4959]

Too late!!!!!😉🇨🇦🤤

[@kenbaker4528]

Copperheads in Australia, I thought those snakes were only in the US!

[@ralucasimpleliving]

Wonderful! I wish to have something similar

[@EnvyDesignGroup]

Really digging your channel man. So nicely put together! Keep up the great work.
