Mike's Pre-show Prep Alone Australia-Part 1

[@kiaoraable]

Lot of fun, saw the show and thoroughly enjoyed it, Been to Tasmania many times and yes can be very wet with the cold. Wow. Great challenge.

Great work Mike. I love that there is someone out there that actually takes the preparation for this seriously. From what I saw last night, youve got this in the bag.

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks. I wasn’t the only prepper. Not sure if the others will release videos about their prep though.

[@BucketListTravellers]

We could tell from watching the show that you must have done so much work to prepare for your time out there. It's really interesting seeing your process in action. That makes sense now why you guys weren't using bows and arrows. We were wondering why it was allowed in season 2 but not season 1. We could tell from the beginning of the show that you would get far. Seems like a lot of it was won or lost before your time out there even began. Putting weight on beforehand was such a clever move as well as researching all of the state regulations to narrow down the location. Well done!

(Opens bacon) Labrador 'magically' appears lol. So adorable.

[@OutbackMike]

😂😂😂yes. Well noticed.

[@cath409]

Its fascinating to watch your bush food preparation - wishing you all the best

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks Cath

[@calebrobinson6406]

Just finished your season! You were Elmer Fudd with that Pademelon. Giving you a sub and some likes amd comments for your run. Cheers!

[@markwilliams8260]

You picked the correct location! Enjoying the series so far and enjoyed your previous Kimberley show too. You need tips from Gina on how to put on weight :)

[@zorrotio]

Great insights, Mike.

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks 🙏

[@FREEDOMINK]

Cool im watching the series i live qld great opitunity id love to do that

[@indianoutdooradventure]

Sir you are really a hardworking man…..❤…..love from India 🇮🇳

[@ehoefsmit]

Loved the first few episodes! So cool to see how people prep for it. The weight gain part sounds brutal, especially for someone like you who is more used to starving! I know the show is already over but rooting for you!

[@tassieadventureman]

Great edit mate. I also narrowed it down pretty well to Tassie and just concentrated on that environment. Looks like you live in a peaceful place mate. I’ll be sure to come visit later in the year.

[@OutbackMike]

Awesome mate. It was so good catching up with you on Monday,

[@nicholasbrunning]

Congrats to you both!❤ and both to you; My partner and I bought 40+ hectares of Forested land in North West Tassie and I'll be moving down to the land in 2 months(mid winter). Considering the budget, I won't have much more than 10 items and nothing but available wood to keep warm. Your journeys will serve me well. I'll need the lessons 😅

[@TheosEpicVideos]

Dog would have been stoked to have you back after your stint in Tassie.

[@OutbackMike]

Yep!!!🐶🐶🐶

[@glennchristensen9034]

Gday Mike, great job on the show mate very impressive to see your bushcraft skills at work and the preparation you took is off the hook - inspiraitonal. just a couple of quick questions about the casting for the show - how did they prevent cheating (people smuggling beef jerky sewed into their jackets / sleeping bags etc)?! and was anyone allowed on the show that had prescription meds - eg: high blood pressure pills or the like? onya mate, hope you claim the win.

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks Glenn. I can’t discuss all those details freely sorry but there are procedures to ensure you can’t smuggle stuff in.

[@ECH0ChAOs]

Great Stuff, Good luck on the show!

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks 😊

[@candaceangove101]

Great videos.

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks Candace😊

When they say Bacon they mean Porkbelly Bacon not the lean Canadian ham you had on the cutting board.

[@OutbackMike]

Yep. I wasn’t vet good at doing it myself so I saw a dietitian. That’s the next episode.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Pity you could not take a bow, I watched episode one and two, and people dropping out like flies...

[@OutbackMike]

A bow would have been so much better!

[@dilligaf0220]

I would've spent more time learning how to set a tarp, that you could bounce a coin off of.

[@OutbackMike]

Yes that’s important. I thought long and hard in advance and practiced a range of different set up’s depending on what I’d find out there.

[@Jerry-ds4ye]

My Dude, that body tho...❤

[@RangiJackson]

Hope you got fat. Fat does not make fat. Good luck on the journey x

[@5uga]

Fat actually doesn't make you fat. This is a misconception. Carbohydrates in excess are going to make you fat.

[@cowboy6591]

It takes more than fat to gain weight, You need Fat, Glucose, Sugar, and breads to pore it on. AQ plate of Spaghetti will do you more justice than steak, or pork will. The two combined will benefit 3 fold on weight gain. Starches my friend, think STARCH!!

[@OutbackMike]

My next Prep video will show the full diet plan (from a dietician) that I end up doing. It has plenty of starch.
