First time one of your adventures has brought me to tears. I lost my hiking/camping buddy a couple of months back and this brought back all the memories. Enjoy the time you have with him because it goes by fast. Great videos, keep it up.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

So sorry to hear about your loss mate. They really are special animals. All the best mate.

[@soniadowney7427]

😪😪

[@POMOLY]

Sorry to hear that, maybe your camping buddy is accompanying you in another way.

[@Pomybasterd]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout hi Scott someone’s sending reply’s to your site I think it dodge

[@mikechadwick8163]

Hi Scotty, you say "Thanks for watching", I say "thanks for filming". What a beautiful part of the world and thanks for sharing it with us, along with your top-notch cuisine

[@thepigdogpigdog2770]

A good recall is the most important command for a dog to perform!

[@davidshepherd3365]

I will eternally wonder whether Banjo got back to retrieve his pigs ear.. 🥰

[@markwis5285]

Used to give my Jack russel dog pigs ears and they being hard and stiff he would bury them so they soften in the damp Earth after a day or 2. never buried anything else so maybe why Banjo did. Basic instinct in tne breed maybe.

[@mrgrogfather]

Banjo's great. He's experiencing, "Sensory Overload" with a new environment. Well done Scotty.

[@seandunn6406]

Did Banjo retrieve his pig’s ear? That was so funny, first thing goes and buries the thing. Classic.

[@DottieStanley]

Good boy! He's sooooooooooooooooo quiet! Best friends forever!

[@rhondachapman3688]

I have a Red Cloud Kelpie who comes camping with us all the time. It took a few camps for him to settle into it but now he’s awesome, sleeps all night and doesn’t wander. He makes a great hot water bottle too 💜💜

[@thefoolsadventures]

A friend train his dog with rubber snakes /pulling on string to wiggle it ...slowly trained him to back away from the snake every time.. to help prevent his dog attacking snake and or getting bitten.

[@jojacobs305]

Hey your pupper was scoping out the bunyips and yowee in the area that’s why pupper was unsettled and ran fast away from the area once he is used to the aura of the place he will settle down … you were camped in a special spot

[@MajorMalfunction]

Those only hang-out around still water. :)

[@jesstully8994]

Fabulous video yet again! I take my 3 sheep dogs camping with me quiet a lot, my best advice would be ensure they are happy sleeping outside in their familiar environment (home etc) once they are comfortable sleeping outside with the noises of the back yard will make it a lot easier to translate to outside in unfamiliar environments. Top job! Keep up the hard work!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Great advice. Although I don't know how Banjo would feel about sleeping outside at home and not in his mummy and daddy's bed 😂

[@LezleysAdventures]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout if you've got a backyard put a tent up and sleep out with the dog 👍

[@jesstully8994]

Backyard tent is a fabulous idea too! Repetition is the key with dogs!

[@tinksgolightly8250]

Aw! I love this! I take my heeler everywhere, shes the best camping buddy. We love it 😀 when she has trouble settling in an area, which sometimes happens, even now, i put her on a short line to a ground peg by her mat, with food and water, where im sitting for a bout an hour. Then just clip her to a running line. It works really well and keeps her calm in camp 😀

[@SmithandWesson22A]

Commenting before watching. Just know it's gonna be good. This is what Aussie adventure is all about.

[@danielsundberg1977]

Nothing better than camping with ya dog 🐕 Even my Staffy started watching when he saw Banjo!

[@timhaynes739]

Hi Mate, Maybe take Banjo back to the same spot a few times so he gets familiar with the outdoor surroundings. Also as suggested a back yard adventure is always good fun.

[@vince4316]

Just keep bringing him with you on a Regular basis. Day 2 wandering around he was already feeling more comfortable because his tail was up. Day 1 it was down the whole time. He's a cool dog! As far as that tent goes...consider just using a larger tarp with a bug room under it. Zero condensation, can lower or raise the tarp depending on weather, plus an all around drier area if it is raining.

[@alleyoop2899]

Banjos just like my dog out there. Doesn’t feel safe enough to eat a big treat. Maybe try some smaller ones for him. Might help him feel less spooked. He’ll get better with every trip. Good boy Scotty! Dogs are the BEST. Great vid

[@linzimacdonald1580]

Loved seeing Banjo again!

[@bushtherapy7655]

Hope banjo has a fear of snakes Lots in that area

[@travelsolo2677]

We used to screw a peg into ground that had a hook on top, then clipped karabeener on for our dog to roam around. Our Kelpie lived until 19, they are a great dog

[@JasonMcCann841]

Your buddy will be just fine as you do more and more trips. He is a beauty.

[@okluge85]

OMG, Banjo has amazing eyes! love them!

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Keep up the great videos

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks heaps mate!

[@balaamsass5540]

I love the way the Kelpie's ears stand up like a Dingo. I have a Texas Heeler but his ears are floppy and he hates the water. Same general facial expressions as the Kelpie though. Beautiful dog Scotty.

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

For his safely, with bait and pigs etc out there, I’m glad you kept him on a line. Particularly since he’s young and his recall isn’t the best yet

[@m-bronte]

Second time camping, I think if Banjo is giving signs he is scared it's best to keep him tied up because the more scared the more likely he will run away. Looks like you had a good set up for him to walk around. All the food you make looks amazing delicious!

[@judyrobinson9556]

What a nice camping trip for you and Banjo. He's very alert, so all the different sounds and smells will stimulate him. Having a young dog is a little like having young child. They keep you on your toes and they poke holes in things. He'll mature and settle in. He sure is a beautiful dog. Take care and hoo roo.

[@stevegreen2753]

Banjo looks like batman, with that mask on his face, and so alert to everything around lulz

[@emenefer]

Nothing better than marathoning your videos, only to have a new one pop up mid-binge.

[@FredrikMalmstroem]

Wonderful to see a clip with a hiking buddy that is not 100% super obedient. :) Looks cozy.

[@snoop2477]

Scotty. I take my vizsla hunting in the NZ bush and he does get cold. At night around camp I've got him a Swandri woolen dog jacket. For bed, a Thermarest insulated rubber mat, and I cut the arms off an old puffer jacket and zip him up in that. A hooded puffer would be even better. If the pup wants to snuggle, what you can do is pack a section of tyvek, super light and put it over your air mattress to stop him puncturing it. I haven't had a problem, but I do keep his nails down and smooth prior to trips. Hope that helps.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Great tips mate! Thanks for that 👍🏼

[@garywood702]

What a great adventure for you both! These memories will last a lifetime and in many years from now when Banjo has crossed that rainbow bridge you'll have this video to watch. My last dog, a Boston Terrier, was my hiking and camping buddy. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago and I had doubts that I would ever get another dog. Then someone tipped me off to a Frenchy in need of a special home to rescue him. I now have a new hiking buddy and boy does he love to hike! Haven't taken him camping as yet, but that's planned for the near future. I think it's a great idea to keep Banjo tethered when in the back country. It only takes a second for him to take off after some critter and get lost out there. I took Rex to my usual camping place to do some work and let Rex roam around as we was staying right with me. A couple minutes later I looked up from what I had been doing and he was nowhere to be seen and repeated calls went unanswered. I was in a panic. Fortunately, I keep a box of dog treats with me and began shaking that box as I wandered about the woodland and in no time Rex came running at full speed to get a treat. Now, he stays tethered when I'm out in the woods.

[@junkwon8388]

Hey mate. I got 3 years old kelpie and took him to road trip from Melbourne to Alice Springs for 3 weeks. We were camping the whole time and my boy never really settled throughout the trip. He either was sleeping because he was absolutely flat out tired from being all alerted or being alerted the whole night. Maybe it is just kelpie being kelpie😮. I thought to myself never go camping again with him but if you can get your boy to settle down and enjoy being in the wild, maybe I get to think again and try again. Hope you succeed. I will be watching closely mate. Wish you the best and see you in next video!!!! Cheers

[@donzie13]

It's an adventure. Might not be the one that you want, but it's an adventure. You are creating memories that you will talk about many times. Think about it. So true.

[@Aventure_Tourist]

Hi Scotty, this tent looks amazing. It was great to see Banjo in another epic adventure. Beautiful video. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@Smokdeel]

Great to watch dog returning to his home (nature) 🤠👍

[@KarlNiblock]

Hey mate. Just a wee guess from another doggy guy. Banjo is a working dog type, so he prob won't switch off with that harness on. If you're worried about him running, put a choke lead on him in that running line. But again with him being a working type he probably won't leave you that easy. If you can get a harness with panniers it will help give him a sense of work when you're walking too. But practice make perfect as you figured yourself. The more you do it the more he'll chill. In my opinion dogs have been doing this with us for thousands of years, so they can go anywhere with us. Thanks for your videos Scotty!!!

[@699hazard]

Just be careful of 10-80 bait in the bush with the dog, especially with what happened to Chris from vogus prospecting, his boxer died from the poison.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yeah 1080 poison is the bloody worst. It should be banned.

[@699hazard]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout I totally agree man, it doesn't discriminate.

[@tleej26]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout it’s used here in New Zealand too and have to be very careful about secondary poisoning too, hate the stuff🏕🐾🇳🇿

Nice tent, bro

WOW nice video, would love to see more trips with Banjo👍🐶

it's very cool to go camping with a dog. The perfect companion. I also filmed a couple of trips on camera before the dog died.

Keep up the great work

[@MajorMalfunction]

I used to go camping with my blue heeler. He was a good boy. Never went out of sight, and if he got too far a return whistle would bring him bounding back. At night staring at the "bush telly" he'd lie right next to me and never wander off. I think he was afraid of the dark. Big wuss. :) He'd sleep in the tent with me, snuggled up, it was just a cheapo bog standard 2-man A-frame. None of this fancy crap back then. :) He didn't often want to go out, maybe once a night, but he'd just look at the door and whine. And I usually needed to go too, so it was all good. :) Hope you have many more adventures with your new best mate!

[@linzimacdonald1580]

Sounds exactly like our red heeler when we go camping 👍🏽

[@MajorMalfunction]

@@linzimacdonald1580 Loyal, intelligent, and energetic dogs, the heelers. Also love chasing things and fiercely territorial. They can be a handful. Not recommended as a house pet. :) I went from a heeler to a chihuahua. Pretty much the same, but with less bite. :)

[@timmcpherson9384]

Beautiful dog your Banjo.. He had drifted in among us as a straw drifts with the tide, He was just a wand'ring mongrel from the weary world outside; He was not aristocratic, being mostly ribs and hair, With a hint of spaniel parents and a touch of native bear.

[@nicholaskneedeep]

With the hex peak you can try setting the pole length higher (140cm+) and lengthening the guy lines so that it sits 10cm off the ground. Plenty of air flow to minimise condensation and extra room too. That said it will still be a bit small for anyone over 6’ and the XL is a better choice for taller people.

[@marcknight4568]

Funny thing is the city...has soo many people...yet always, nature is free (t.g.f.t !!!)😁🤣😅💯💫💥

[@RobsBushcraftandAdventures]

Looked like a nice relaxing spot. I remember everywhere I used to take my dog when I'd put a bowl of dry dog food down for her she'd take them 3 at a time and bury them all over the place until the bowl was empty without eating any and then would come bumming for more food. Very funny

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Banjo was in stick heaven with those logs you collected🤣 looks like he’ll need to get used to camping. He’ll get there in the end, I’m sure! As usual, beautiful photography x

[@brettbeatnick]

Both you and banjo will get use to it. He'll relax as you relax with it.

[@glen65]

Scotty, your cooking has really come up a few notches, great to see you out with Banjo too. I was one of the commenters from your last Banjo trip videos to mention the ridge line setup for Banjo. Tips: 1 - Raise the ridge line as high as you can, 3 - 5 meters if you can, 2 - attach a crabiner and (retractable leash) to the ridge line before raising the second end as high as you can. 3 - Attach the retractable leash clip to something accessible when not attached to Banjo because it may retract too high to the ridge line. This should reduce the tangle ups that Banjo is having and reduce camera tipping. He seems much more familiar and comfortable since the last trip, he's a good boy, he will learn. You live in such a beautiful country and you show it off well Scotty, Australia is definitely on my bucket list of places to visit. Keep up the awesome videos, and cheers from British Columbia, Canada
