Camping on the Edge of a Cliff (Blue Mountains, Australia)

[@MattljonesCQ]

I'm 38 never been camping in my bloody life but for some reason i find myself watching your channel every night. Makes me want to go out and give it a crack. Keep it up, its brilliant stuff

[@shoyusha]

If you're in Australia there's plenty of nice beaches and campsites where you can camp that are close enough to drive to a nearby town if you need anything so it's pretty easy to give it a shot without buying much. You'll soon figure out what you wish you had with you. Tent, mattress, sleeping bag, eski is enough to try it. Really nice to get away from civilization man, good for the soul.

[@Jo33333]

Listen to your soul ! Your ancestral genes are speaking to you !

[@slash502]

just give it a go, it really isnt hard. I started when I was 36 and I cannot live without camping serveral times a year now. Take the leap and see your life change for the better.

[@mikejeffreyphoto]

Love your work Scotty!!! Always puts a smile on my face when I see your videos. I'm never one to comment on KZbin videos (like most us millennials) but seeing negative comments fires me up. Keep doing you my friend and creating inspiring videos for free on the internet. It's a privilege to be able to watch your adventures 🙌🏾

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks so much mate. Really appreciate it.

[@ThePurplePhotographer]

Been camping and hiking the BM for many years and its just so beautiful. Its even more beautiful in the rain when the mist swirls around the ridgelines .❤

[@traverse_earth]

Mate that footage of the three waterfalls with the sunlight in them was spectacular, what a profoundly beautiful place!

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

I live in Canada. Your country has pretty spectacular views as well. Scotty, despite the popularity of the Blue Mountains, if there were no tourists visiting, that area would soon be developed for industry, farming, mining, or other government lucrative ventures. It's the world we live in. Use it, or lose it. At least the landscape remains mostly pristine (except for the designated trails and established campsites.).Consider what is happening in the Amazon, or in Europe, Africa, Asia...

[@dlftss]

Australia has lots of other dead unnocupied land to do that on why would they do that on one of the most popular hiking spots in the state

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... WOW !! What a beautiful sunset at 11:00+ .. Beautiful location all around .. I do hear you though ,, I generally don't go where the masses will be ,, being alone is what the mind and body needs to clear and refresh ...

[@butlerboyadventuresbba4090]

Fantastic video, only just found your channel and I’m absolutely loving it……right on to the next one. Good on ya 😊

[@debrascott8775]

You always eat so well on these adventures. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@StuartRigaldi]

Love it Scotty, you inspire my son to go camping in the outdoors. We watch you almost every night..Keep it up mate.

[@Big_Daz]

If you’re looking for solace don’t forget the southern end of the blue mountains. Places like starlight’s trail, Nat tai wilderness, belloon pass and yerranderie to name a few. Have done plenty of theses areas myself without another soul to be seen. Less than 2 hours from yours as well. A lovely area encompassing plenty of hidden gems the blue mountains. Nice vid again 👍

[@rudgey02]

Nowhere does sunsets like Aus! Great video Scotty. Inspired me to get out in the bush again. Thanks for sharing some of your adventures!

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

What a fantastic view! I’d love to see you do that packrafting trip you described 👍. Great video as always!

[@Clintctrl]

Hey stranger! lol great minds think alike! Scotty and Going Solo collaboration would be sick. :) 🤙

[@jesswilson366]

Would love to see a pack rafting trip - sounds great! Hope mum and bubs are growing nicely.

[@Poundy]

stellar sunset! As someone who lived on the doorstep of the Nasho for years, and grew up west of the Blueys, it's a place I did a lot of travel past as well. When I got into MTB however, there were so many great places around Katoomba and the scenery is stunning, well worth the drive. And if you can get a not crowded place, well worth it!

[@Amanda-ei7oc]

A great video as always Scotty 😊 The 3 waterfalls - 😍. And agree with the others. Ignore the negative comments. Nothing but miserable so-and-so’s who have nothing better to do with their time. Keeping doing what you do for the rest of us who love it!

[@wangabo123]

Great content Scotty! Love that track. Did you have any worries about wild camping in the area?

[@realist451]

Well done Scotty, I don’t know what or who I love more. The scenery or you. You’re roughing it but in a totally classy way. You have my full respect!!! You should be on Australian Survivor. You’ll go far in that game.

[@EamonWanders]

Another great vid as always. Stunning vistas in the Blue Mountains which are so particular to the area. Will have to get you rock climbing next time.

[@bozz104]

Great video mate, its nice to see my home through your creative lens. I understand your concern around the crowds though! Its certainly become a lot busier in the last 5 years.

[@jhbwayman]

Always enjoy your videos mate, but this maybe aesthetically one of your absolute best. Stunning views.

[@Lee-astrololee]

What a spot to sit and enjoy a cold one and the gorgeous view!

[@dorknuckle]

Thanks once again for sharing, I love the blue mountains! Totally understand you changing your footwear, my favourite shoes were gortex Salomons they were light, waterproof and super comfy. Looking forward to your next video 😊😊😊

[@markmcgrath2540]

Another great vid Scotty. Keep up the great work. Hope the family is doing well.

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Hi mate..those views were incredible I remember when I flew to Sydney I heard about the blue mountains, I never made it as I ended up going to the outback in Coba, But wow I'm glad I got to see what it was all about.

[@michellerolph2248]

The Blues are simply stunning! Lived on Evans lookout Rd in Blackheath & the traffic on the weekends was horrendous. Never took it for granted though, every day I breathed in the beauty 😊

[@donpruitt4123]

I am a amateur hiking guy, I can make fire on my own with steel and quartz rock. Recently learned the faro rod for fire too. Water is so so important not there in trusting the water. I am in southwest of New Mexico and water is scares. Love your videos here too learn . And water skill off land I need to learn more to be safe. I use the yucca lot for meds and cord and food . The fruit and the flower. Thanks for the share it's treasure to keep learning.

[@robertchater8903]

What a bloody beautiful place to fall asleep and wake up to living the dream scotto

[@conexaooutdoor616]

Sensacional amigo . Um lugar com visão privilegiada e surreal . Parabéns pela vivência

[@markgardner2949]

The canyon is called butterbox or mount hay canyon. Did it earlier this year. The exit is insane as you have to rock climb out. That canyon not is for beginners. Another grop had a beginner with then who feel and got concussed. Can't wait until spring for the next canyon season. If your are keen to do a canyon my mate and I take a few newbies on different canyons each year and keep the harder and more dangerous canyons for just us.

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

I grew up on the Northern Beaches and moved back there for work as an adult years later. I've always regretted not taking advantage of the fact that the Blue Mountains were so close. Now I'm in Queensland and it's even further away. 😭

[@noahk3976]

You're a good man scotty! I hope we meet one day, keep going mate, love watching your travels.

[@Oscarcat2212]

Scotty. You deserve an easy trek/ easy travel after your last epic. The views, videography and your commentry were great.

[@ziaulkarim202]

You really do make the best videos man.

[@TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

The Blue Mountains look absolutely amazing! I get why you've avoided it because of the crowds, but it seems totally worth it. Your camping experience there looks so peaceful and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day 😊 Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

[@EB240]

Welcome to the neighbourhood scotty! its nice to see my backyard on film, especially the way you film and edit. on ya!

[@7astarael]

I just finished the Jatbula trail in a pair of Hoka speedgoats. It was my first time wearing trail runners on a multi day hike (I used to only wear them for day hikes with a small pack). I really liked them, no issues with my ankles and I found them quite grippy on uneven surfaces. My boots are also scarpa and forested and I wanted something more breathable and lightweight for tropical top-end climate.

[@frenchys_prospecting]

Been watching your vids for a while now and realised I wasn't subbed but that has beed rectified. Keep up the good work, Scotty. It keeps me dreaming of the great outdoors

[@littlesmokey57]

There are No bad views in the outback... Amazing... 💚🤙🏼❤

[@aussiehiker96]

A great walk as well is Pierces Pass to Acacia Flat where you can camp the night. This walk follows alongside the Grose River. Though, this track is very popular also. I don’t think it would be possible to pack raft the whole river due to the many boulders and tree debris from floods.

[@paolodi2666]

I visited the Blue Mountains last year as a tourist. Would love to have seen the sunrise and sunset. Need to go back one day a lot to see. Thanks for sharing the adventure.

[@etoxin]

Same thing happened to me when I switched from boots to Hokas. You’ll adjust your walking to the shoe. And they’re less catchy as they wear down. Expect them to degrade fast with off trail walking. They drain so fast they’re basically water shoes. Hokas are slippery on wet sandstone.

[@Gylver21]

Boa noite Scottt ! Sou do Brasil, e curto muito a vibe dos seus vídeos. Você é privilegiado com as belas paisagens do seu país. Um grande Abraço...

[@jacquiedwards160]

I live about a 30 minute walk from this.. it is even more stunning in real life. ❤❤

[@ettaplace6716]

Sure hope u don’t sleep walk Scotty !! Stunning area ..

[@themostar7426]

Yhanks for yhe video Scotty, great job as always love your work. Can't wait for the next one buddy.

[@kylemurphy5334]

4:23 literally the mesas in north America just with forests, absolutely amazing

[@kylemurphy5334]

fuck me dead it got even better lmfao wow im missing out on my own country . 11:14

[@kylemurphy5334]

omfg 15:02 look at the fucking other canyon in the distance, its just as beautiful omg wow, also yes very stoned watching this awesome

[@kylemurphy5334]

gives me vibes of the unnamed landscape painting syou see hung up at relatives places XD thats a good thing

[@jacquiedwards160]

It tru.y is a beautiful place to live...

[@ColinDagwell]

I was given a canyoning experience as a birthday present some years ago. It was amazing, exhilarating and exhausting. Definitely go with an experienced team!

[@danielreynolds6498]

Can find uncrowned spots in the blue mountains still a beautiful place. All ways great to watch Scotty walkabout

[@rebeccastevens2563]

I love your videos!! Those views were amaaaazing! ❤

[@PavoTreks]

Looks like you made it to the Butterbox Point, try Lockleys Pylon or Fortress Ridge if you decide to come back to this part of Blue Mountains. There are so many epic trails in Blue Mountains and if you come at the right time, on a weekday, you won't see many people. 90% of people visiting Blue Mountains just go to Katoomba, Wentworth Falls and Grand Canyon in Blackheath

[@unfi6798]

Another great Australian landmark, world renown actually hence the heavy traffic. S2S makes one of the best outdoor products. Great minimalist stove. Your carry is quite durable & high end. It's best to use proper hiking boots or high tops (ankle height) shoes to prevent ankle injuries. Being a veteran yourself we're surprised that you've got city slickers runners on. As always great representation of NSW. They should make you ambassador for Outdoors Australia. Stay safe, dump that shoe & catch you on the next one.

[@ReneVandyk]

Hi Scotty what a Gorgeous Awesome Beautiful Scenery 😊

[@northwestwalking]

In 2010 I chased a pretty girl (now my bride) around the blue mountains. She showed me the 3 sisters and the morning eucalyptus mist from the valley and I was instantly in love with NSW. Thanks for bringing those great memories back! And- Cheers on the little one. Let the real adventures begin!

[@ScottAHatfieldJr]

I found your channel a month ago! Let me tell you, you’re making it hard for me to not sit still and just enjoy the US hikes. I will never be a rich man now. These Australia hikes are just gorgeous! Amazing work!

[@wightond1972]

Those 3 x waterfalls at sunset !! Gold Scotty 🙏🙏

[@sohampatel4717]

Where is this place in blue mountains can you tell me I really like to visit this spot Thanks

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Good stuff scotty it's like our drakensburg

[@chasejo483]

what stunning views 😊thanks for sharing Scotty.

[@brendanwaites-cameraphoto4750]

Why the hell would anyone post a negative comment? Says waaay more about them mate. Excellent video. Keep up the great work!

[@zeusgreat6321]

Love my solitude while trekking and camping too... And, lucky you we able to battle through another bitter NSW winter... t-shirt and shorts one minute, then gale force winds and michelin man parka, the next... lol

[@ryanhansen1841]

Good stuff, Scotty. Top vid as always, even if others were around. Would highly recommend getting into canyoning; once you start, you'll be hooked. Difficult to film though.

[@w.m.433]

150k, wow congrats! Love your adventures. Have a good one

[@scottjacobs7522]

Great video , I used to used Hoka shoes for trail running but I had a lot of ankle rolls with them once I got a set of more normal trail runners I never done ankle again

[@russmc3847]

Great Vid Bud, enjoyed it immensely.

[@andrewiverach659]

Check out Harmen Hoek hiking trip in the Blueys Scotty. The guy is a machine and he only seems to hike in trail runners. His vid on the Dolomites is fantastic.

[@gibbosroadtripadventures]

Brilliant, you are truly inspiring.

[@zyawotha]

spectacular shots as usual Scotty. The sunset was magical

[@benw5691]

Thanks the vid.i hope you get to the 200k subscribers

[@DottieStanley]

Another great video! Love the waterfalls!

[@TheBeardedBushranger]

Loved it mate. Your filming is always top notch and those waterfalls looked beautiful. I know what you mean about the boots .. I got the same scarpas as you and I just got back from the snow and they were drenched for most of the trip. I don't know if I can pull off the trail runners like you though 😆

[@drewvippond2824]

Great vid 👌🏻

[@EdReurink]

My dad used to live in Australia in the 60s. We now live in Canada. Ha always said "hooroo" when he would leave for work in the morning(70s.) This makes me think of him. Thank you for your efforts 😂.

[@honestpat7789]

Landscape photographers paradise ❤

[@tywilliams6530]

Great video! Off grid meals look great.

[@JamesHarmer-m4e]

When you compare the quality of your vids to what is out there, I am astounded you don’t have 1m + subs. That said, I reckon you’ve got 150k hardcore fans versus say 1m fair weather fans . Great video!

[@richieanker]

Mate you're bungle bungle trip got me so inspired I'm planning to do it in 2026❤ keep up the great journeys mate 🎉

[@stuartmarshall7099]

Mate's used to Lilo down from Blackheath to Nepean in the early 90s.

[@marooncity1]

That might have been what they said but the Grose is shallow and full of boulders for a massive chunk of the way, and stretches all the rest. I know someone who has done it - portage all day long. Scotty underestimates as well - what with changes of direction and all, it's at least 60, probably more like 80k.

[@stuartmarshall7099]

@@marooncity1 I have mate's who have run it too.

[@marooncity1]

@@stuartmarshall7099 that I'm more inclined to believe, although, having walked from the headwaters down stream and then back around to mt Vic, and having had a bit of a poke around downstream from blue gum for a day or two - so, knowing the off track sections of the upper river pretty well - I think it's probably harder going these days than people give it credit for. lots of hardcore regrowth post fires, it's not easy.

[@robinsavard84]

Wow! We have a mountain range called the Blue Ridge Mountains in the US. Your country is beautiful.

[@chezelleconroy2951]

So good, thank you!

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Wonderful camping video 🌷🌷

[@mohanpadmanagara3917]

Much love from Indonesia brother. Keep doing what you're doing. Been following you since early days and it's because you always put "I acknowledge the right of the land... (something2)". So I know you're doing it right. Though I noticed lately your video gets shorter and shorter which means less scenery (I know there's a reason for it, just saying if I were to comment)

[@a24-45]

Hi Scotty. I was in the gorgeous Blue mountains in winter 2 years ago; I well remember, standing on those cliff tops was as windy as all get out. BTW what you were worried about happening, rolling your ankle, is exactly what I did the first time I wore my brand new pair of hiking shoes, back in March. All due to the ultra-thick cushioned sole which i wasn't used to. I couldn't feel that my weight was too far over on a stone, and I stumbled. Nothing broken, but it took me 10 weeks before my ankle was right again, I lost so much walking time and fitness :( I know why it happened and I will be much more aware the next time I try out new footwear. and Yes, please do go back to the Blue Mountains! it's a huge place, and the tourists tend to not venture that far in.

[@donpruitt4123]

One more comment been learning to flint quartzite rock and flake into arrow heads. Wanting to make knifes with this rock too but I learning stages right know. Any way thanks for the share enjoying your video

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Great video. What a scenic place! It's Independence Day here in the States. The day we celebrate our freedom from the Brits. We love them now and they love us. Funny how time changes things. Take care

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Stunning location mate and ripper views. I've gone from low cut joggers to hi cut boots for hikes after rolling my ankle and tearing 2 ligaments. Your ones look good but that ankle support now has become a big thing for me. 2km into a solo hike and I had to walk my way back out on a busted ankle, not fun.

[@LittleMighty1956]

Beautiful spot but the first thing I thought was, looks like a great place for SNAKES! I had a friend from OZ who told me there were so many poisonous snakes around where she lived as a child she learned to "crack a snake" where you pick it up by the tail and snap it like a whip to kill it. This blew my mind but to her it was no big deal. Love your escapades, thank you.

[@andrewbarry5130]

[@EddieSmith917]

I hiked the Grose river from Blackheath to Yaramundi took me 4 full days, u wont see another soul until the last day & u wont get lost but I felt way outa my depth at times. Take a machete Packraft from Faulconbridge terain is rough as hell upriver too many portages but hike it forst see for yourself

[@jiggles.]

Great video mate. I still boil my water at home out of the tap now living in town. I was in the bush but the water is not good in town

[@nicholaskaye61]

i wanted to love those Hokas too.... and I felt exactly the same when trying them on, but pushed on with purchasing against my better judgement.. rolled my ankle with these in the middle of nowhere. I'm done with Hokas!

[@The_Apprentice_Adventurer]

Mate I have tried the hike from Blackheath to Yarramundi before I started my own channel. Sadly until you reach the Bilpin section of the gorge there is minimal water to paddle and the hike will be brutal rock hopping and wadding through sections of water. You’ll have to use a hammock as well due to very little spots to pitch a tent. Feel free to reach out to me and I’ll happily verbally prep you. But it is a brutal, rough and awesome hike. If water levels raise it will simply be too dangerous to paddle. Hard to picture until you’re in there. That’s my experience anyway.

[@torchandbucket4214]

Ignore the miserable haters - I'm glad you've got backing to keep going and am genuinely interested in what kit you use or would recommend. #lovesandstone
