Ahh mate… you did such a beautiful job on this one. A really nice video to look back at to remember a great moment in time. Thank you

[@ruppy4103]

Looking forward to your vid Mattsy 👍

[@AlexCimmaronBS]

Enjoying these videos with Scotty and Mattsy together. You two are different characters but work well together! More joint ventures please!

[@ТУРИСТ-АВАНТЮРИСТ]

This country is so beautiful and so many millions of people take it for granted. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

[@TheSillySwagman]

Agreed! It’s pretty incredible to have an experience like this for the first time in your mid 30’s and beyond. Plenty to see and experience out there. We just need to get out and enjoy it while we can.

[@janetwhite3768]

44 seconds in and I have to stop and say….my Lord what beautiful scenery! Picturesque 😮

[@hikerinaustralia]

All of your "B roll" shots were like postcards. Absolutely spectacular countryside. You could not have asked for better weather that first afternoon.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate. It's hard not to frame up a good shot in country like that. Yep, weather was perfect.

[@leosantoro1852]

you 2 are comedy duo. love seeing content of you 2 blokes out and about. biggest crack up haha please keep em coming

[@TheSillySwagman]

Haha cheers Leo 😂

[@bennyc409]

There's never anything I think that can add something to your videos Scotty. But then along comes Mattsy and I'm stoked.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Haha! 😂 The majestic Emu tamer.

[@susanalbone5101]

It’s amazing how a relatively ‘barren’ landscape can look so beautiful. The whole video was really funny and had me chuckling a few times. Thank you. Take care, be safe. ❤️ Dorset, UK

[@jerryscanas]

She is quite a pretty part of the world, one of the reasons I want to start hiking and wild camping in such a place.. even in winter I am good getting prepared and wanting to really give it a good go...

[@timhaynes4967]

What a great adventure. Thanks. And I finally know why he is called the "Silly Swagman"... lol

[@lynelleflinders6692]

Thanks for showing us how beautiful Australia is 👍🏿

[@grahamwood9842]

Absolutely beautiful. Also great to see you with company in extreme conditions. Well done Max.

I'll admit my ignorance! I did not know Australia had snow. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!

[@rhondachapman3688]

Great adventure Scotty. Good to see the Silly Swagman too xx

[@bmcoutdoor-bushcraftnaturalist]

It's nice to see the two of you enjoying nature together.

[@aceleaf]

Our part of the globe is feeling hot these days. But looking Australian landscape it feels a bit colder. Fresh snow feels crispy under the feet. Thanks for providing this entertaining video.

[@f33fifofum]

This is amazing, even for your consistently high standards. Beautiful country.

[@jennyleef1775]

Absolutely gorgeous scenery. I would gladly have some of the scenes of trees etc. blown up and put up on the wall. Nothing better than the beautiful Aussie landscape.

[@mudgutzadventures436]

Another great video with a touch of humour. That's some next level stuff just outdoor open air sleeping in the snow 🥶

[@rossharlow-outdoors4690]

Great vid as per usual Scotty! And Mattsy reckons that was a chicken pie? Mushy more like......hey look an emu! 🤪

[@TheSillySwagman]

😂😂😂😂

[@outbackdreamer6445]

One of your best videos yet and a perfect way to end the weekend... Wet boots can be cold in the snow, but at the end of the day I put on a dry pair of socks and put my feet inside plastic bags before putting my boots back on. Just the kind of soft fruit/vege bags you get from the supermarket. Your feet dont sweat because of the cold and I remove them before hiking the next day.

[@tallaganda83]

Awesome video, I regularly go camping in the snow in the hills around Canberra it's magic.

[@dazheathcote4590]

A massive thanks to you too Scotty 😊☮️

Laughing at you effort on snow shoes. Liv in Ontario, Canada.. Beautiful country side . Thanks for posting.

Great one thank you. Lots of laughs too , cheers.

[@moe_1886]

It's all fun and games till Mattsy comes along! 🤣 Loving the snow camping colab Boys and good to see Mattsy bring his big boy tarp this time... but maybe he needs to watch your tarp setup videos for next time Scotty! 😂 I would have made Mattsy drop and do 20 push-ups for burning the bacon though... what a disaster! 😭🤣 Thanks for the ride and the laughs Guys!😎

[@TheSillySwagman]

I read all the comments, Moe… very disappointed. 😂😂😂😂

[@TheSillySwagman]

@@TheJadedView Haha thanks mate 😄 Nicely put 😂

[@michaelpepper7230]

Moe, only 20. You're way too lenient. It's sacrilege to burn bacon like that. He had a Howard Green on by the look of it so 50 would have been more appropriate. Great video though guys.

[@TheSillySwagman]

@@michaelpepper7230 Haha! 50 minimum, Michael! 😅😂

[@silvervon2658]

D’un abonné de France. Merci Scotty pour ces magnifiques paysages, cette belle musique et votre bonne humeur.

I think the first time I saw Australian snow was on your channel. Just another thing that makes me wanna go there.

[@steffiduarte8347]

Beauty! Added to my bucket list!

[@CXt10]

Treating this as a tutorial! Probably my favourite video that you have made. Thank you for introducing many of us Mattsy's channel. Subscribed. What a legend!

[@ScooterGotLost]

Last couple of days have been a bit meah, so this was just what I needed to chill. Thanks mate, love these combo vids with the Swagman. He's a crack up. Never seen bacon cooked that way. Must remember NEVER to try that. 🤣

[@poerava]

Beautiful vid. Thank you gentleman.

[@rodgeorge7244]

Another epic Scotty The Snowy Mountains never fails to impress mate I've travelled over a lot of it over the last 50 plus years and it would take many lifetimes to experience all that it has to offer.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate. It's a very special place

[@Big_Renfrew]

Those snowshoes were so unnecessary and a pita to drag along. Great video. 🇨🇦

[@terryc47]

Camping 🏕 is easy..... bushcrafting is a whole new skill level. 🤣 Well done guys

[@POMOLY]

Wow, very beautiful snow scene. Heat is needed to keep you warm in the snow, and a hot tent and stove combo can ward off the winter cold. With the sun, it's a great winter camping trip.

[@leah_cartledge9639]

A magical place. Love the music.

[@lukeblaah3294]

Great video and great laughs! 10/10 My family own one of the holidays houses in Suggan it's gods country out there absouletly insane landscapes. Had the pleasure of taking a few mates out there and they have all been gobsmacked at how beautiful the snowys are!

[@OutAndAboutWithMick]

Great work. Always love to watch what you get up to

[@zander_williment]

How good is Sweet Baby Rays!?! I can’t wait to get back into the snow. Thanks for the Sunday viewing Scotty.

[@friendonfoot]

Mate one piece of kit that will change your camping life (believe it or not) is a piss bottle. I’ve been camping for years and always just put up with getting up in the night and facing into the cold or rain until a famous KZbinr recommended it and I’ve never looked back. Game changer!

[@robellett8156]

It's great that you get to spend more time with your dad! Good to see the old fella out an about 😉

Loving the snow trips mate, looks awesome. The bacon on fire had me in stitches haha

[@TheSillySwagman]

Another meaning to ‘cooking with coals’ 😂

[@Yipmanhands]

Very cool, thanks for putting this up guys.

[@HariKristiyanto]

Winter camp in Ausie 👍👍

[@DaveMacsCamp]

Great video mate! I love how you can compare Aussie winter camping to most of the overseas ones. In Australia most of the snow areas are rugged and remote with next to no fire wood, and what is there is hardwood that you can't really process without a chainsaw. Meanwhile overseas they drag in a hot tent and a stove in a sled and in like a hour they process 3-4 trees with a handsaw and have a roaring fire all night long in a heated tent. Unless you go super hardcore like Xander Budnick 😲. Love your stuff mate . Beautiful shots!!

[@stephenparker7817]

Mate I’m so impressed! I’m an ausie (central west nsw) I lived in Sweden for a few years. Bushcrafted in -30. But your conditions up there are actually harder to keep warm than Sweden Keep it up mate. If you need some fly fishing tips hit me up. I’m a guide and I’m bloody proud of you.

[@NoName-ds5uq]

What a beautiful country we live in!

[@Benventures]

Beautiful scenery! Your backyard looks amazing.

[@budget-adventure]

Look out here’s trouble. You introduced me to the silly swagman a while ago and have been a sub ever since. You guys go together like peas and corn, great video and hopefully more team ups in the future

[@TheSillySwagman]

If people like you keep backing me up like this then I’m sure we will see a couple more collabs yet before he drops me 😂 Thanks mate 🙏🙏

BLOODY HELL!!! is a pretty good expletive, from Australian guys laughing at each other. So, how’s the tarp in the snow? You knew to bring shovels, pretty good. Early morning in cold, wet boots…embracing the suck. How to cross a creek, Aussi style. Legendary camping…heh, heh…thanks for sharing. Kentucky

[@sonyavincent7450]

I have breakfast envy.

[@kcraig51]

I'm kinda embarrassed to say I never thought there would be snow anywhere in Australia. Just makes me want to come even more!

[@bennyc409]

By area, the Australian Alps actually have more area covered by snow than Switzerland each winter. It's just not that deep.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Yeah it’s a pretty strange country that’s for sure 😄

[@hanksbud2544]

Thank you Scotty. This video was just what i needed to get mind off this backward world we’re in right now. Great view and great time w/mother nature. I always thought of Austrialia as as dry and srid. Can’t wait for another one.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Hehe when it's going into Spring, a good tactic is to leave the snowshoes off until you absolutely can't do without. It's often hard snow, you'll be more stable without them. Maybe just some spikes would be enough. And if you wanna go down on soft snow, you need to plant your heels in the snow on each step, hard. Otherwise you're just gonna fall forward. Another idea is to do switchbacks in the snow, otherwise some people do actually ski a bit. But the worst thing to do is going sideways, they're not skis you can hurt your ankle easily. Snowshoes are good on flat terrain or uphill. They're awful to traverse a slope, cross country skis are much better for that. And uphill, skis with skins on are less tiring. Do be careful with sunburns, they can be pretty awful with snowhiking. I have a full beard and once had my lips burnt and the underside of my nose burnt. You think of protecting yourself from the sun, but you forget about the reflection on the snow. Every bit of skin (and lip) exposed is at risk.

[@DrHappyTV]

Great vid. Beautiful location but ... how good's the banter!

[@darrylearnshaw7102]

Cool video mate, enjoying the snow episodes! Keep up the good work

Nice country up there Scotty. At first I thought an Emu was a small horse. Wrongo. I Googled it. It's a flightless bird. Look forward to your next adventure. 👍

[@GreenSage307]

hay scotty Got a hot tip for ya, if ya find a large enough stone you can heat up the bacon on the stone in the fire, makes awsome bacon while campling, by the way bute Snow comaping mate so jealous lol, i really have to get back out there myself 👍

What's with the dehydrated meal Scotty? You have robbed us all of watching you burn a meal on the fire 🤣

This trip has to be up there with the best, just stunning. Watching this vid so reminded me of Hoges and Strop, you two cracked me up this time, bet there was a LOT more, so need a blooper reel. 😉

[@TheSillySwagman]

Haha Deb is not wrong 😂 I might be able to slip a few more gems into my vid that Scotty didn’t have his camera on for. He definitely blew me away with this video though. What a great thing to be able to look back on when we’re older.
