GEAR LOADOUT || Wild Camping/ Bushcraft/ Hiking 2021

[@melindalow8526]

Design us a good hiking tee shirt Scotty

[@DaGarbageDisposal]

Thanks for the video. I am a professional eater that started his channel like that now I am doin' survival videos as well and definitely not professional at it. Appreciate your video and your help

[@MomVsFood]

Just subbed and that is crazy you can eat that much. Good luck on your next survival videos, watching the first season now

[@XanderBudnick]

Great Video and breakdown Scotty, I really enjoyed your last one and watched it recently, Thanks for the update! That little Aperture light is totally what I'm looking for!

[@sassmate1003]

Yo I forgot you watched these as well

[@alexvu2549]

Omg it's you

[@janssolo7456]

Two of my personal legends here. My life is complete.

[@GypsyGirl317]

Mate, I love this video! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 I like your style of presentation, it's similar to our Kiwi guys, and so easy to listen to. You use the optimum number of words to say what you want to say and no unnecessary waffling which is superb. I didn't even feel any need to ff, I listened to every word. I grew up in the 60s and 70s here in New Zealand, with an incredible Dad who grew up in the bush by a lake, so I have a profound appreciation of the quality of your bushcraft gear in particular, especially the leather cases! Your whole kit is stunning, and I like your knife, saw and tinder kit, plus the organiser. Definitely a fan here, and much respect to you. 🌿 I love tramping in the NZ bush and I too love my full grain leather boots.

[@adbc8737]

“You do you and I’ll do me….” Such good advice! 🌀♥️🌀

[@terrybutler-fl4dx]

Common sense isn’t so common in today’s generation.

[@operativethisistheway6384]

That spice pouch and bushcraft knife kit looks really smart!

[@terrybutler-fl4dx]

I saw those kits and was like, Ooooh, me likes. You can’t go wrong with leather. 😊😊😊

[@Petrolhead99999]

"gear is really personal" I fully agree, I form a bond with my gear especially my knife and fishing gear... But wow. I've never seen such beautiful and personal gear. That tinder kit especially is so unique and beautiful. Everything is well used and it's clear that it's deeply personalized and thought out.

[@DominicShooter]

I like that packing cell idea for the winter gear, easy to throw in when you think you’ll need it.

[@kachiri]

Silky is my brand for folding saws. I started out with cheap folding saws from Canadian Tire store (I'm in Canada) and they don't cut near as good and didn't stay in good condition long. My Silky saws are F180 Pro (fits in my pocket) and BigBoy Pro (for bigger jobs). I love them!

[@kgsz]

Considering you use merino wool long johns I'm surprised you don't like thin merino t-shirt for hiking. I'm using one through most of the summer for commuting on the motorcycle, and it keeps my skin nicely dry while not overheating me at all. Apart of that I'm using MoD issue CoolMax polyester t-shirts in the hottest days, and they're even better in cooling.

[@amywilliams5233]

you got some really great gear, it was nice getting a breakdown of it all. I definitely have a few things added to my backpacking wishlist now..

[@Mapleaple]

Love the set. Only thing you need is a thin 5v. solar panel with auto reconnect when going in and out of shaded areas. Comes in handy and can charge a 5,000mah portable battery while out hiking for 4-6 hours.

[@raptordc5]

Nice seeing the difference and similarities from someomene on the other side of the world. Cheers for the US!

[@lachygordon]

Please be aware that Garmin is not a PLB. It uses a third party subscription service that does not communicate directly to the AMSA JRCC. Garmin also does not use the Cospas-Sarsat distress beacon detection system like a true PLB or EPIRB.

[@RoughChopTom]

Can you recommend a device?

[@Fronzel.Neekburm]

Great and practical loadout, huge thank you mate. I have been searching youtube for awhile now for a good camping first aid kit. I keep getting US prepping videos which deal mainly with combat wounds (or zombie bites) or the ultra light guys with 2 advil, a bandaid and a emergency beacon which really wouldn't help in our climate. Thanks again Scotty, you've helped me a lot.

[@kachiri]

I have one camp pot/pan for cooking food and a metal cup for my hot drinks and sometimes cold drinks. The pot and pan are a combo deal... the pan is the top for the pot and a pan as well. The pot, pan and cup all have fold in handles for packing it away. So I do go with metal for all, to put it over or in the fire for cooking/heating. For drinks that are not hot, I do like to have a bottle or a thermos with cup top for that.

[@_calebfray_]

Bro the photography and camera angles are so cool I wanna camp in places like that wow

[@CS-in3pg]

This was extremely helpful as there were several quality bits of kit that I can integrate quite well. Many thanks for the hard work you do Mate, well done!!

[@impermanenthuman8427]

Also, I’ve heard both an Australian SAS instructor and also the author a ‘The survival medicine handbook’ say that eye protection is one of the most important pieces of kit to have in the bush

[@glenroberts7557]

PMSL 🤣😂🤣😂😃😂🤣

[@rafski123]

Yeah, I go hiking now with hardware store cheap safety glasses for $5. Had a bug once fly into my eye and near knock me out, not to mention several other times when dust or trees hit me in the face.

[@mattemason]

Nice one - sweet setup. Bluetooth speaker is a great idea. I got a JBL clip on so I can listen to tunes while hiking. Came in handy on the weekend when I did the Cooloola Great Walk solo (90km). Love the Vanquest too - I got one after seeing your last load out video, so good! Cheers - keep up the great vids.

[@AndyTychon]

Great video Scotty. Just wondering what happened to your Tasmania Tiger Raid Pack?

[@riverwalkeraustralia]

Love to see what others carry and how they use and plan for using their gear, as you said it's all personal but some great little tips in here

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate!

[@hetheringtonfamily8798]

Thank you for showing us your kit. I was wondering about your air beds and sleeping bags

[@lastknownlocation8760]

Scotty, The thing I’m most impressed about is how good your knees are that you can squat like that and talk at the same time. I’d be in too much pain

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

Love that you mention the heritage aspect of the Akubra

[@lyndonlives638]

Gotta say, I don't think I've ever seen anyone rock an Akubra the way you do!

[@Flockingtheherd]

If not the greatest hiking gear display I’ve seen yet thanks so much for the vid. You’ve got all the basics covered

[@backpackingireland8624]

Brilliant breakdown. The Fjallraven gear is excellent. Scarpas outstanding boots , wore mine to the inner 🤦‍♂️ Like the leather bits , nice craftsmanship.

[@wisperingbeard]

Lots of thought and practical usage in everything you’ve packed. Nicely done.

[@barracoutta873]

Absolutely love my Katmandu rain jacket! I have the same one and it's been with me everywhere

[@Markk4kk]

Great video. What made you change bags from the TT Raid Pack MKIII? Thanks

[@paulneil3077]

Scotty, give Ottie shirts a look! I’m 6’2, about the same build and find their Aussie Marino shirts are a great fit and cut. Also look at the peak design carbon fibre tripod. Exxy but super light and compact.

[@skiboy1970]

The best Rucksack walk thru I’ve seen.

[@chrisdornerrespecter8884]

Protip for the shirt. Don't look at a hiking store. Go to a sports store and check out the gym and fitness shirts. They have a variety of fits and it's all polyester for when you get sweaty.

[@4wdhuntfishin]

I love watching vids like this. It always helps me with ideas for what i want to carry, thanks heaps mate

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

GPS are great but you should always have a decent compass, map, ranger beads and waterproof writing implements to record bearings and distance.

[@Chris-bm1gx]

Great video,very helpful thankyou. May I suggest a pen to mark your compression bandage so the doctors know where the snake bite is. Also some eyewash vials in case you get something in your eye

[@Footballdreams99]

Always looking at new gear. Finding Aussie made stuff at competitive price is even better. Slowly converting over glad I found Alton goods & guys like u who review it because u use it. Cheers mate

[@carbss]

Alton gear is awesome, but made in China.

[@andrewc1236]

have you ever used the Alton Goods under quilt as a normal tent quilt? I am thinking about money savings if I just buy the under quilt for both hammock and tent camping.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yeah if you're not a super tall person you could probably get away with it. It's not as wide as a normal quilt but it could work.

[@ivansiladji]

That's a good idea.

[@joshimawashi]

Thanks for your recommendations of gear and brands...a huge help, as I'm not a fan of shopping at your typical camping store chains... And supporting Aussie brands is a bonus..

[@BushcraftSurvivalAustralia]

Nice one Scotty, some nice thought out kit there. Those quilts look pretty interesting, hopefully they are available in an olive green.or brown. I haven't seen that PLB before either so will check that out. Cheers, Gordo

[@SMB_SpeedTwin]

Awesome video mate. Thanks for a great breakdown of your gear.

[@simonlane7817]

Great Vid, Awesome to see someone plugging Aussie brands 👍. Keep up the good work.

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

I love that quilt with the foot box. I'd probably be better off with that rather than a sleeping bag because that's how I use my bag anyway. 😃

[@leej4914]

Amazing filming,views, and content thanks for taking us a long scotty

[@moe_1886]

Thanks for the great gear breakdown Scotty. Some really good stuff you have and obviously happy with. It's also good to know that you only have the one PLB/GPS, as I wasn't sure if I should have 1 dedicated PLB and 1 dedicated GPS, so now I think I'll be better off having a similar GPS unit that you have instead. Love your work Mate, keep it up.

[@bunnythump935]

This kit is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing with us, I am really impressed with your organised system. The only advice I would give is if any one does happen to fall and have a suspected broken bone, please remember not to take nurofen, as a former sports medic, any anti inflammatory medication taken results in most hospitals delaying surgery until your body would have processed the pain reliever as it can both impact bleeding and also anaesthesia. Unfortunately in those instances its better to not take those meds until you receive medical help.

[@j.armstrong5600]

Great video mate! Definitely a few things there that I’ll be looking into. Looking forward to your next adventure 👌🏼

[@MrDiPY]

Great to see your trusty Vanquest organiser is will going strong. I bought the same one in black after I saw it on your channel and I've never looked back 😁 Thanks for doing another "what's in my" video 👍

[@deanoturn1985]

If you are looking for Aussie made gear. Wilderness thread works for backpacks. Dan is a legend. And terra Rossa gear for super light quilts and tarps.

[@swagmanoutfitters1604]

Another great video mate, always interesting to see other people’s gear. Cheers

[@dan30681]

Ah yes! I've been waiting for this. That's awesome Scotty, very helpful, thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@keithwetton1937]

Great video mate. I just bought myself a Garmin 66i too for the same reasons as you; peace of mind and reasonable back up mapping.

[@jeanwatson189]

Thanks for lugging that extra 3.3kg for us! Totally worth it.

[@NanoGh0s1]

I love your hat, the feather gives it that touch 👌

[@PaleGenesis]

probably one of the best gear videos, ty

[@odinfineartcreations9898]

An Aussie bushcrafter on KZbin hell yeah

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

Can throughly recommend the snakebite bandages with the indicator sewn in. That way you know you’ve got the compression to the right level

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

I love that you include a plb

[@DogsTrossachs]

Nice job, you had me at Johnny Cash!!

[@IntuitiveIQ]

That's really light! Great gear, thanks for the info. 🙏🏻

[@shadbakht]

What's better for winter camping, a sleeping pad with a high R value or a cot?

[@markkent1256]

Hi Scotty mate love your channel and camping ethos. any chance you could tell me the bush tucker book that you use. thanks mate

[@kachiri]

I have 3 knives I love and use plenty. I have Morakniv Companion (for small jobs), Morakniv Bushcraft Pathfinder (for small and medium jobs), and my big chopping knife in place of an axe/hatchet is the Schrade SCHF45 Leroy Bowie knife. I had that one for a few years and have used it alot, and it is still in good condition.

[@benkle3000]

This is a great gear rundown. I like your semi-minimalist approach to both kit and camping, its a cool combination of traditional and modern techniques and attitudes.

[@mailinhnghiem6908]

Hey Scotty love your vibe and content. It’s so theraputic. Where can I find a chopping board like yours?

[@lukefeain1836]

Alton do a similar one, it’s only $4

[@albertmarshall5718]

Great video! I’m also an Ozzie and share your struggles with good gear. At the moment I’m using a Kmart pac! Do you have any suggestions for good backpack camping locations. I’m struggling to find any good places at the moment.

[@brick8253]

Nike dry fit tee shirt they are absolutely the best for everything... For relaxing to working and especially hiking it stays dry and if it gets wet it will dry extremely fast!!!! Also I noticed they almost never smell bad especially when you are sweating and working hard.

[@rebmep10]

Very cool just bought the hat in Winton loving the history of the brand cheers

[@janssolo7456]

FINALLY ! I see you hit 100k Scott! Congratulations on that. Keep up the good videos and I’m hoping to see more of it soon. Definitely one of my biggest outdoor idols by far and short to say you are one of my best influence going on outdoor adventures. Bless you brother. Greetings from Malaysia. 😄

[@sebastianvanderboon6905]

G’day from Brissy mate. Love the Alton Goods gear, I use a bit of their gear too. Next on the list is a Korr knife. Love the videos, your editing is amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@glennpayne9103]

Great show again....I reckon I'd ditch the spin rod and reel and get into fly fishing ... really light gear available and a great way to fish...

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yeah mate I did a beginner fly fishing course the other week, so this year I plan to get into it properly.

[@glennpayne9103]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout fantastic...you won't look back...been fly fishing for over 30 years ....really part of being there in the natural world casting a home tied fly ... nothing more magical...

[@glennpayne9103]

@@ScottysGoneWalkabout check out Madriver Outfitters on You Tube...lots of fly fishing information ...

[@michaelprendergast4416]

Great ideas for kayak camping, love the knife , tinder kit, organiser , akubra , Thanks Waratah , uuroo!

[@lovelybydecay7811]

this is an awesome guide and also i think i learned like 6 survival things i had no idea about already :p

[@corz484]

You should wear your PLB on your belt mate, that way if you lose your pack maybe over high ground or in a crevasse, your PLB is on you.

[@PushYaSelf]

Hey Scotty, love your channel mate! Can i reccomend getting some vibram toe shoes for wading through the water whilst fishing. save your scarpas for land so you don't have to dry em out :)

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

I love that Alton tarp you use. I can't seem to find it in the US. I use one from Free Soldier currently, but it isn't perfectly square so it makes certain configurations difficult.

[@PhoenixIsTrash]

Alton is unfortunately a small Aussie brand. They potentially ship overseas but its just a small business out of Brisbane.

[@wildwaybushcraftuk]

Love the simple breakdown of the backpack. Thanks for taking the time to film it

[@blister4walken]

Great selection of kit. Have you tried army surplus t-shirts? The NATO ones perform well. Also, for wet boots, take a newspaper. If they get wet, stuff the paper in them, in screwed up balls. Leave overnight. Then they should be dry (or much less waterlogged) in the morning. 😀

[@nuthn2do]

Nice stuff. I carry a rescue me plb1 and a garmin etrex20 so there's no ongoing fees.Also have a silky gomboy that i love but lately i've been using an agawa boreal 21 and it's got me hooked

[@ThreeEyeGypsy30]

Great video as always, thank you very much. What was the brand/link of the flannel shirt?

[@senderobushcraft8415]

I really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing your gear mate! greetings from Colombia, South America

[@finnjuniperdenaro]

Wow Scotty, well-done mate, your kit is so so admirable, and your video-making skills, both capture quality & production... Wow! So so impressed with this super helpful admirable setup video =) cheers.

[@axerxes3981]

Scotty.... nice kit!! Thanks for sharing. Ax

[@markstanford2300]

Hi Scotty, very informative. Have you ever thought about snake gaiters I worry every time I see you walking through grass. Mitch's gear is great. Take care. 👍

[@kiaorable]

Great video Scott, really enjoyed it.thank you.

[@MrJejreno]

You should try merinos wool for your shirts. Very effective about thermoregulation, odour control and doesn’t freeze your back when sweating. Quite expensive but is it worth it. However, thanks for sharing your gear, I see that from French alps where I leave we have the same ideas…

[@BackcountryKiwi]

I've been wondering what's your loadout looking like since you upgraded your pack and stuff. Thanks for the awesome video scotty! I've got the mh10 Ledlenser head torch and although it is nice and bright and lasts a while I'm just not a fan. Lots of little things wrong with it. Your mh8 seems way better Cheers

[@mitchelljack1590]

How do you keep your meat and things cold?

[@laceyproductions9236]

"You guys do you and I will do me" Love it!!!

[@Chr.1995]

Get the r6 for image stabilization

[@eivindb.sandnes9550]

Good show, mate! Really like your mindset when it comes to packing, as you said "each to our own" :) Great tips, keep it up 😄👌🏻

[@andrewbarry5130]

Considered doing a longer trip to put your gear under more stress. An Australian version of the PCT or Appalachian trail for example.

[@glenhehir3833]

Great video Scotty. Love the spice pouch!

[@Barfoot73]

Good call on the InReach. Being able to communicate the problem prevents emergency services the unnecessary risk to themselves vs a plb where the alert is sounded and every agency goes hell for leather. Still recommend a plb in the kit as a backup tho. The bonus is being able to communicate with others, ie wife , family, mates, etc (non emergency), for pickup, gin supplies, storms, etc. Logical and functional gear without promoting trendy/fashionable brand names. Function before fashion! Keep it up mate 👍 Cheers 🍻

[@Barfoot73]

Oh and on the fishing. You seem like the type that would ‘get’ fly fishing 🎣 and the developed rhythm, skill, and luck needed to present the fly to the fish. Add the element of making your own flies and catching fish on said flies on natural or artificial materials takes it next level. Cheers mate

[@disturbunce2335]

tip for first aid lit- silver backed burn patches. great vid, thanl you very much.

[@nudge2626]

Great video. Recommend you get a Exotax ripspool. Combines a few of your gear. Also if your looking for hiking shirts. I recommend trying Icrebreaker. 100% wool and I find them more comfortable than cotton shirts. Expensive though.

[@blitzkopf7267]

did you season your fry pan? how thin titanium behaves on fire during real cooking meat or frying something?

[@GoingSoloOutdoors]

I’m a sucker for a good gear loadout video! Enjoyed!

[@happyknife8785]

Scotty, I'd love to see more on the tent, there is very little in the way of reviews out there and in Aus there aren't a lot of options for my criteria, which this seems to fit. Spacious vestibule for a pack and maybe somewhere to brew a coffee if need be, be able to sit up in at least the door way, fly connects to the body of the tent, earth colours, IE: greens and brown, I don't want a bright red or lime green tent.
