3 Day Solo Australian Winter Bushcraft Camp

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Hey folks, hope you don't mind a longish one. It was a really fun trip to a new area with plenty of bushcraft so I hope you all enjoy. Thanks legends 🤙

[@lion_low]

Love the longish ones, mate 🤙🤙🤙

[@jimfatyakmcgregor8867]

Scotty's Gone Walkabouts longer the better. good stuff mate, love your videos.

[@blutosspinach6475]

See what some of the Canuks do in Canada. good time in crappy conditions. excellent tarp configuration by the way. in fact, I've logged into my memory as a solid and will give it a go on my next adventure.

[@dabushbois5231]

Again Scotty another beautiful video and very well done, love the new campsite bro and all the bush land that goes with it, keep up the great work coming from us both, can’t wait for the next one.

[@Antonio_Ch]

Longer videos, more detail = GOOD STUFF!!!

[@beaul83]

That feeling when you get an hour long video from Scotty.

[@wildlifeinclose-up1960]

Completely agree...

[@Owl566]

Yep!

[@owendavis4154]

Definitely try some live bait. Yabbie`s, shrimp or worms are ideal for fishing in murky water. I grew up on the Murray River and spent most of my time bait fishing it`s the easiest way to get a feed. Something to be aware of also is that the majority of Native fish will always stay close to structure. Look for fallen timber in the water, snags etc that`s where the fish are. They like to hide out of the current and wait for something tasty to come so they can dart out and grab it. Hates Spam is spot on with his comment about not using a sinker the more natural the bait presentation the better. The downside is you will loose more hooks etc fishing in these area`s but that is where all the good tasting native species are. I see a lot of people casting into the middle of the river in the hopes of catching a fish but what they overlook is that all the bait, yabbie`s and shrimp etc are living close in to the water`s edge. Some of the biggest fish I have caught have come by using unweighted bait cast only a small distance from my fishing position. The bank of the river is a structure just as much as a submerged tree or snag. Keep trying mate and you will succeed, nothing taste better than fresh fish that you have caught cooked outdoors on a open fire, its worth the effort!!!!

[@001desertrat3]

Scotty , 30 years old and never had Coffee ? Try this : Mix Coffee and Hot Chocolate 50/50 -- it's called Mocha and it's delicious !

[@hihosh1]

In South Africa we usually call the place you buy food at school a tuckshop, so not so difficult

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Yeah tuck is an old colonial word👍

[@phoebeappleby2783]

The eucalypt looked like Silver Leaf Iron Bark. They have such a strong smell 😍

[@careenaalexis]

Epic epic video dude! Man, your skills, both filming and outdoors skills, are phenomenal. Also, your chair looks WAY better than mine 😂😂 Hah Thanks for sharing Scotty, great stuff for a guy who doesn’t drink coffee (Ryan doesn’t drink it either...) 😝😝

[@ulrikezachmann7596]

Hey you plan well and think of everything. Your bush craft is very good and admirable. Love your stuff. You are so much fun to watch. Those spuds being crisp, if you eat the skin that charcoal will stop you from farting too much. For all those other bush people watching, you don’t need much to have a great time. Just stay warm, dry and make sure you have water and can find your way home.

[@stuartmcmichael5250]

I’ve just seen your videos which are a joy to watch thank you so much. Just a suggestion I was a trout and Salmon fisherman and fished all over the world. I used to camp out for 14days in Scotland on Loch Lomond, and from 10days to2days on Lough Corrib kin Eire. Just a suggestion I think you should ground bait the area you wish to fish Carp. Anyway love your videos and your knowledge of your bush.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@shaneflickinger]

I will say one thing, you don't mess around when you make a sandwich! I never heard of haloumi chesse until I started watching this channel. Don't think I've ever seen it in the stores here in the states, but I have lived in pretty rural areas. Maybe the stores in the bigger cities carry it? Thanks for another awesome video Scotty!

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

As an artist, I look at people' faces in general, particularly the eyes. Everytime, I see your eyes, the thing that comes to mind is SINCERITY, GOOD PERSON. I always get an initial reaction from looking at someone's eyes. I always have. I can't explain it. I wish you would make all your videos this long. I long, reallllllly love your videos and your professional videography. I can't get enough. Here's one person who really, truly appreciates your work. Thank you.

[@johnnyb9218]

I know your comment is probably over a year old but I just had to add my own comment as a portrait artist, I can see where you are coming from. I totally pick up on his vibes as an authentic person & it shows in every way both verbally & in also just subtle nuances of facial expression.

[@pamulmer554]

Hi Scotty. We enjoy you're videos a lot. My husband suggested that you might try fishing in the morning or evening for the best luck. Also, American cheese or night crawlers for bait. He is very happy to find out there is someone else out there that doesn't drink coffee. lol But he doesn't drink beer either.

[@lolcatz88]

I was 36 when I first drank coffee. I started with mocha and now, 10 years later it’s still my preferred caffeinated beverage

[@Solarlube]

Loved the trip Scotty best so far in my humble opinion. . Like you say it's never long enough. Loved the area you were in. May I suggest Scotty making a spatula out of wood to stir your food instead of your knife (lol) oh and why doesn't anyone take a pair of tongs with them. There you go maybe make a pair of them as well. A few years ago every man and his dog were making chairs great to see its making a come back your version is great. Thought your back rest could have been a little bit higher especially for your height. I saw myself having a port and falling asleep haha in front of the fire. You pick some great locations.

[@julianran5701]

Great video I'd love to do this stuff when I'm older I'm twelve and live in WA

[@kevanne3230]

Hi Scotty i am enjoying your clips with theintention of using the methods for cooking in our NZ bush. Cheers

[@Beyondthebackyard-au]

Another great video. Try catching some live bait using your gin bottle to make a plastic bottle shrimp trap. Fish love live shrimp.

[@keeganpatrick4363]

Mate your cinematographer is top notch. I dunno what you do for work or studied at school but it’s like watching a film. Ps I don’t know how you don’t swear so much I’d be the worst to do video logs like you do. Every video is more and more amazing than the last.

[@X_explorer]

Great movie!

[@lachygordon]

Another awesome production mate. Such a pleasure to watch. Keep it up!

[@justinkane1]

Hey Scotty when fishing fresh water with bait try using a simple “running rig” main line through a ball sinker tied too a swivel then on the other side of the swivel tie a 5-600 mm mono leader and just a 2/0 hook should do . also try using Bega Cheese the cod love it !!

[@billcotton1551]

Another great one Scotty! I would have paid for that "tucker' in a restaurant. Looked delicious!

[@Angie-xz8dm]

Love your videos. Think like a fish. lol you will catch one and cook it. I hope to visit Aussie one day. My hero will always be Steve Erwin..RIP

[@josephmorrison3165]

Man your video quality is unreal! Loving the channel and all of your knowledge alot!

[@quikstop4347]

Love your work, your pack organisation is to OCD perfection! Used to live and work in the Kimberley, fantastic place - so much culture and extremely remote. Be warned though, if the Kimberley bug bites, it bites hard! Get to Derby, get into King Sound and Talbot Bay and see if you can talk your way onto a pearl farm...

[@philclark6250]

Great camp again,just on the topic of carp I fish for them in England,I'd get yourself a Polaris float which finds the bottom no matter how deep it then locks itself on the line,fish it about a foot overdepth with corn on the hook,every half an hour flick some grains of corn around the float half a dozen max,if there's carp there you'll get them,btw at the end of your stay do you check your rucksack for spiders, snakes or any other creatures? I always do now for mice mainly as I brought at least one home once and it had babies,not great believe me,I had to set traps for them til I got them all,about ten in total,the wife was over the moon NOT,all the best Phil 👍🇬🇧

[@MikeyGeeez]

G'day mate, down here in Vic waiting for this lockdown to end... finding your channel has really been a treat! Very inspiring

[@xingmenneigong]

watch corporals corner vid on the tripod knot to bind 3 logs together. Good for the type of shelter you built there

[@WakuahOutdoors]

Cool video man. Loved the tarp set up and chair. I will have to have a crack myself. Sorry about the fishing result, you'll get one someday mate. If you want a good laugh try watching this with auto subtitles. "Chuck the bivvy" turns into "chocolate baby" 😂

[@Arexodius]

I didn't think it could get that cold in Australia. Still, the sight of rime frost in the morning is something else. And I'd argue that "the real world" is out there in the wilderness :)

[@TheNitroGeneral]

The special sound off the outback in Australia is so nice and peaceful. Great video 😃

[@scottashley3830]

Coffee truthfully drains your life force, making you feel tired😮

[@slow_diver]

You didn't ask for it, but I have some strange strong desire to tell you to rake some coals well out of the fire and away from flames to cook on and plant your spuds in. Open flame nearby is too hot. As for fishing, I would set a fixed line for an eel there, I used to use a bit of inner tube so they tired themselves out if you aren't nearby, but I reckon you could rig up a wee little bell or something to alert you to one on the line. If you want to catch a carp I would use a float and have the bait just near the bottom, when the float went under set the hook with a jerk. I used to use rolled up balls of bread. You don't need much. Serene watch mate. Second track sounded like This is Your Captain Speaking, gorgeous tune.

[@mrbungle7586]

Hi, just came across this and haven't seen your channel b4. No offence but I thought during this video, this dude hasn't spent much time in the outdoors, but I'll check out more of your channel. Also I couldn't stop laughing when u tore your t-shirt. Nothing better to me than camping like this with a nice fire and the sounds of the bush. Look forward to seeing more and I'm subn. Cheers

[@littlepony6762]

Again didn’t disappoint Beautiful Peaceful place. Like your food choices looks so delicious. Like your self made Chair. Thank you 👍

[@3blackguitars995]

I use a separate knife with a full flat grind for food prep,leaving the edge on my bushcraft knife (scandi grind) for wood. I also carry a small bamboo cutting board for food prep(never cut on metal)

[@MrJohnmccrory]

great stuff Scotty , maybe someday the fish will bite , lol

[@timgruchot2162]

For carp we always berley with breadcrumbs and use stale bread as bait, in big chunks, 1 inch in size and a big hook. no sinker or float.

[@bladesvlogs4965]

First video I watched and I'm hooked! Got me motivated to test out some camping gear in the backyard :)

[@Ren-io4mw]

G'day mate, liking ya video, well done!! Be careful using riverstone round a fire, has a tendency to explode when they heat up.

[@AdrianHepburn-vz9yr]

Good to see you have recovered from the drop bear attack. Cheers.

[@kingblinky1079]

Hey mate great vids little tip for ya if you pull some coal out and cook a couple foot from the flame makes it alot easier to control heat therefore less chance of burnt food also if you want advice on fishing hit me up

[@ERIKOFFTRACK]

Another cracking video mate - it's always great to check out new country! A really well shot and edited video! That chair looked the business!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

No worries about the coffee mate. I was 40 before I started drinking it. Great trip! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@X_explorer]

Fantastic video!

[@FreshFishPro]

Great vid as always! Here in the States I've never even heard of halloumi cheese since no one I know eats it. Sharp chedder, swiss, provolone, colby jack, & munster are the favorite cheeses of the Western U.S. Keep up the cool vids! 1 note: carp are considered trash fish & really not worth catching. If you do try for them, their main diet is aquatic insects -- try a fly fishing class if any are local & have them concentrate on teaching you how to "roll cast." It's much more fun than using a spin rod (though I do take both usually when going fishing here in the State of Idaho.

[@daleskidmore1685]

That vid flew by. Lots of stuff going on, loved the chair. Great place for a camp. Who knows, the fish bothering might prove fruitful one day.

[@justindawson3428]

About bloody time you got a cutting board, your knife and my teeth will love you for it. I never had coffee either. I always hear people saying the NEED coffee before they can do anything and to me that dose not sound right, you should be able to get up and go and not rely on a boost from coffee. Glad you liked the red center it is a special place for sure.

[@kennytai9850]

Great content on bushcraft! I love it.

[@lizardears4861]

You should do a video with fellow KZbinr Chris Bamman and get some fishing tips! He’s always catching something.

[@pedropedroztravels8272]

Ummm no disrespect here mate, really. But ! ole mate C Bamman runs rings around this fella. I'm not just talking about fishing but as an out doors man in general. This bloke just makes basic shelters and talks to much imho. Chris gets in there and just gets shit done. So these two fellas are worlds apart.

[@xmetal280]

Loved the slow panning shots of the chill morning at camp, that added such a lovely atmosphere to the video. Well done Scotty!

[@evolutionreviews3816]

[@evolutionreviews3816]

Hey man when is your next vid coming out

[@zachhenderson7982]

If you're trying for carp, look up how to tie a "hair rig", bring a can of corn, throw a handful or two out, cast out to where the corn is, wait and watch the line. Worst case scenario you cook the left over corn! Works for me here in the states, should work there.

[@BackcountryKiwi]

Awesome video bro! It's cool to see how much difference there is in environment just across the ditch.

[@shaungreenwood3232]

bait the area ur going to fish aswell and make sure you plumb the depth so you know where to set the float

[@itsreallyrona]

Not sure why ppl would dislike this video but whatever floats boats eh? Great video. Thank you!

[@k2daizzzo]

Awesome video, I really enjoyed it. The one thing that stood out to me and I wondered about was why don't you wear gloves to protect your hands while you are working & building? A bad cut, gash or puncutre on your hand can ruin a trip in the wilderness. Keep up the adventure videos & be safe.

There are approximately 25 million people living in Australia, with the vast majority living on the eastern coast. So it doesn’t take long to get away from people a modern society.
