Have been following almost since the beginning. You have taken a hobby & turned it into a craft, now an art form. All the best Scott

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks for the kind words mate and for your continued support over the years! 👍

[@PapaBearOutdoorAdventures]

@Scotty's Gone Walkabouts He is right :-)

[@Andyb2379]

The thing I find most beautiful is the wide open spaces you can explore. No one else around. Living in the southeast of England it’s so densely populated & everyone owns everything. A person loses touch with nature & can’t explore what we’re meant to be. Thank you showcasing the great outdoors. Cheers 🍻

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

I feel your pain mate. It's a shame that England is that way. Most of Europe is from what I believe. I don't take for granted the amount of access to beautiful public lands we have in Australia, and with a relatively low population. We're very lucky and hopefully it stays that way.

[@tonybray699]

Gday Andy. I lived in the UK for 30 years and have now been living in Australia for the last 25. I know exactly what you are saying. Only 25 mins from where i live i have hundreds of hectares of native forest that i can virtually call my own. Hike,camp,mountain bike, it is just wonderful. Trouble is, these Aussies don't know how good they have got it. Regards Tony Bray.

[@tonybray699]

Apart from Scotty of course 😉

[@ArbyCreations]

Its the same in South Africa, its all farm land owned by someone and fenced off. If it isnt then its not really safe enough to camp because inevitably someone will pop out of a bush and steal your stuff!

[@ricmoffet6843]

Like your channel, watch you and ABCamping from NZ a lot. Got some advice for you. It is about bee's, if you have a wild bunch of bee's ( like a travelling hive) turn up in your yard at home, where ever they may land, and you are worried about them, just get a few big handfuls of dry gum leaves, and set the pile up about 6 metres away from them and light the pile, so long as the smoke is going towards the bees. The smokier you can get the leaves the better. Within half an hour the bees will move off, thinking their is a bushfire coming. It is the safest way to get the bee's to move on, without harming them. Just a bit of useful info for you.

[@bobstout2383]

Fishing tip, if you get spiked by a flathead. Rub the belly slime of the flathead on the wound and it stops it stinging. Also good way to eat flatties is straight on the coals just gut them, leave the scales on. You just peal the skin off when it’s cooked it cooks in its own juices, yum and no washing up.

[@jamietaylor168]

Thanks for the info 🇦🇺👍

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Good tips mate. I'll have to try that next time. 👍

[@MariAiel]

Hi mate, love your work, you've inspired me to get out and enjoy the simple things more cheers

Friday Beers and Scotty's gone walkabouts....good times!

[@a24-45]

Another good one, Scotty. That wetland is gorgeous -- but you won't get me anywhere near those mosquito/midge-infested swamps, though. LOL Re indigenous solutions to flies and mozzies: I read a white account from the C19th re some of the NSW/VIC tribes, that they traditionally used an all-purpose ointment with an animal fat base (possum fat?) on their skin. Sunscreen and insect repellent from natural sources were an important part of the recipe. The women would make it up, and each kept a supply in a small animal-skin pouch. Every man, woman and child applied this "grease" every day all over their exposed skin. It also kept their skin looking shining, glowing and healthy. More than one white observer remarked on this skin treatment -- but not many seemed to have realised that the ointment was not just a cosmetic, it was practical daily essential.

[@jamietaylor168]

Thanks for the info! 🇦🇺✍️☺️

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Very interesting mate. I've also read a similar account where some white settlers offered some meat to a aboriginal lady and the first thing she did was rub the fat through her hair (If I remember correctly, perhaps her skin as well.)

[@RicMyfraps]

What I use for the sand flies is a mix of 1 part dettol with 2 parts baby oil. It’s a force field. But avoid getting on sunburn or your private bits.

[@managherroad]

This is what the canoe was invented for. Access to places you'd never see or experience otherwise. Really enjoyed this trip with you. Thankyou for sharing.

[@notredame089]

That prawn is a cherabin. We get them up here in the fresh water and brackish water in the Fitzroy river WA. They can get as big as a beer can. You catch them with chook pellets and a throw net. 5 star chewing🔥🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🍺👍🤠🇦🇺

[@Lukeslittletribe]

Scotty I love your videos so much. They have brought me so much joy, especially while living in Africa and doing adventures there, and reminding me of my home country. Now I'm back in Victoria, Australia, your videos have inspired me to start getting out in the wilderness again and making some films. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Your videos are beautiful.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks so much mate. Really glad to hear you enjoy the vids!

[@positronikiss]

Thats some profound self love. Isnt being out there simply the pinnacle of the human experience? Big hugs everyone, lets enjoy our world through loving it and ourselves.

[@frankchris_camping4x4]

Hey mate just wanted to let you know if a flathead spikes you, use its underbelly and wipe your cut with it the slime from the flatheads belly will reduce the pain/stinging. Keep up the good work. You never fail to disappoint with your vids 👌🏼🤙🏼

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

yes, in Canada, we have mosquitoes (hoardes of them), and black flies (they literally tear your skin when they bite causing swellings and an itch that lasts a few days), and no-see-ums (they burn when they sting), not to mention horse flies and deer flies which are attracted to your glistning body from sweat or water, and they are no fun either, especially when portaging a canoe. Good times!

[@CatchTropicalFish]

I love watching fishing too

[@juliee9516]

Hydralyte for sunburn. Watch your episodes lots. Thanks.

[@fionabeasley8454]

Oh my God I love ur videos. My friend and i watch ur vids. I wait patiently for your next one so i can message her, "New Scotty is up!" I have my Dad watching you and he is quite the accomplished hiker. He loves ur videos and thinks ur incredibly knowledgable and professional. Keep em coming.

Man the intro to this gave me the chills, awesome. Makes me want to drop everuthing and go out

[@susanalbone5101]

Great video in all respects, scenery, music, drone shots and of course the catching of fish and watching you eat it. Unfortunately the bugs come with the territory and they had a bit of a feast on you. Keep on trekking. Take care, be safe. ❤️ Dorset, UK

[@juliee9516]

My old brilliant naturopath told her grandson to have some hydralyte for sunburn. Sunburn cleared overnight.

[@pendend9859]

You are an inspiration, just got myself a fishing set and learning to fish. Wish me luck!

[@shaneburns4349]

if you get bitten or stung on your hand in the bush, best to remove any rings right away. There are plenty of things in Australia that can bite and lead to inflammation. A ring on a swelling hand without a grinder handy can pose a problem.

[@cruthers]

What a treat at the start of the weekend!

[@chris-po9jw]

Haven’t watched it already love it, keep up the great work Scotty!!!!!

[@lenlemaic7849]

Now you know the true meaning of the expression don't bug me. Well done Scotty, great introduction look forward to your next adventure.

[@ed-el5yy]

Great job on your channel! I love that you're in an Old Town canoe, the town and the manufacturing facility are both about 20 miles away from me, I've owned them since I was a kid! SO... if you go back to this spot, bring a small folding shovel, you can quickly cut a few steps in the muddy bank to climb up and down. You can cut the first few while you're still sitting in the canoe. Even if the spots collapse as you step on them, you'll still have a spot to stand. One more lesson I learned the hard way, so the next person can learn the easy way.

[@bigg2904]

Wow. Times have changed, I remember when you could rarely catch a fish. Well done.

[@jordankyle37]

Nothing like the prawns in Australia 😲🤣🤠🇺🇸

[@barrylowe8724]

Great vid mate. They tell me when a flatty spikes you it has a kind of venom of sorts which mak it quite painful. The remedy, I'm told, is to rub the belly or belly slime of the fish on the wound and it's eases the pain. 👍

[@sneekizzle7127]

These frequent uploads are mind boggling, you're going on adventures I crave to endeavour on yearly intervals in what seems to be weeks. Keep it up!

I'm pretty damn lucky to be able to do these trips so often. I also have a very understanding wife haha 😂

[@sneekizzle7127]

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

Great work Scotty - nice spot too. Mangroves are so underrated as a destination.

[@laurencetilley9194]

Hi Scotty, your experience with sand flies reminded me of a nightmare night at Hells Gate station on the Gulf of Carpentaria. The bastards were so made we packed up camp at 2,00AM and moved on. The few days later I was relating our story to an elderly Koori man, he told me his people rubbed charcoal into their skin to prevent sand flies from biting. I would have done that had I known. lol

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

That's some good advice mate.

[@dippshow]

It's -30C currently where I live. Watching you drink an ice cold brew on a beach in the heat is making me drool haha. Cheers buddy!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Ouch! That's bloody cold.

[@jbthor9032]

Nice visuals Scotty. So nice there. I'll tell you that living in winter wonderland it's nice to see something that keeps me thinking of summer. Summer is coming. 👍👍👍👊

[@vinnyt]

Lots of those prawns all over the east coast of Queensland including in the fresh water. Even found them high up in the mountain pools on Cape York. Have eaten them sometimes.

[@aussieinkorea593]

By the way Scotty, best video in ages. Not too much time wasted looking for a camp site, video isn't too long, scenery was beautiful, fishing was successful and weather was great. I'm also looking forward to your year of camping. Best of luck and stay safe mate!

THANK YOU....PLEASE..STAY SAFE

[@frankhofmann8570]

Hi Scotty, great vid! Never thought Australia was that green... Still a bit of a torture to watch this stunning scenery under a grey January sky in Germany where each and every spot is "culturized", not leaving much room for nature.

[@chrisfitzbayside8638]

That’s a real shame for you Frank. It’s comments like your’s that help me to realize how lucky We are here in Aus. My kids are happy to be out in nature, but I don’t think they know how incredibly fortunate they are to have so much access to national parks and state forests where we are. Take it easy mate 👍

[@frankhofmann8570]

@@chrisfitzbayside8638 Hi Chris, thanks for your comment! Great that you take your kids to the outdoors in times of constant digital availability. Our family does a lot of hiking too, but it's just never "real" outdoors. However, there are some advantages to life in Europe: As a true Bavarian like me you can always end a hike in a nice beer-garden... 😉🍻

[@Jake_UpNorthFishingAdventures]

G'day Scotty, thanks again for another great video mate. I don't often comment, but one thing I'd like to say is I recommend looking after your fishing gear so you get long life and good fish out of it. Always give your rod and reel a light spray with fresh water out of a squirty bottle, gentle wipe down and let air dry. Trust me mate it's better to look after the gear than to have it let you down. Also, a drop of reel oil every now and then will keep that reel working nice and smooth. Keep doing what you do mate. Yeow!! Cheers

[@81dedhed]

springs coming dude, do a crab catching trip

[@impermanenthuman8427]

Don’t drink a liter all once Bro, it’s a waste, the body can only absorb 250ml/15min, the rest goes straight to the bladder and then you wasted all the effort carrying that fluid, and if you’ve been blowing sweat then you have been blowing sodium out with it and many have died not from the lack of water in their thickened blood but from acute sodium deficiency. I had a bad experience once with heat exhaustion approaching losing consciousness, it learned me well how to hydrate after that. Check the label on a Powerade bottle sometime if you haven’t already it is good advice. Consuming just the right % of water to sugar to sodium at the right rate is an endurance maximizing combo on the trail as well as safe practice 😎 Great vid as usual champion 👍🏻
