@@ScottysGoneWalkabout Watching a few of your other videos, have you thought about getting a G-Shock GWG-1000 watch. It comes with a triple sensor and has Compass Thermometer Altimeter and Barometer so you can predict weather changes too. I've got one and they're great. I think it'd be perfect for what you do.

Just discovered your videos and love them. They are good for my mental health and calm me down. Thanks mate.

I used to work at the snow. One of my favourite things was going home after midnight in the dark by foot and enjoying the absolute silence, looking at the milky way on a clear night. I loved that stillness. It's just magic.

[@swingsloth]

Yeah, bloke. You keep churning them out, we'll keep watching. Love the diversity in your content, mate. You've motivated me to get out and do it myself before I get too old and unfit. Need some more bits and pieces before I head out, but won't be long now.

I loved this one, so vastly different to all your other trips. In my ignorance I didn’t know Australia had so much snow but I do now thanks to you. Glad you enjoyed yourself. It wasn’t until the snow melted under your fire that you could see how deep it was. Epic, look forward to the next one. Take care, be safe. Dorset, UK

[@aussiekat6379]

Our snowy alps get more snow that Switzerland. Where I live in NSW 2 and a half hours drive from Sydney we get mostly light snow falls over the course of our winter and we can get heavy falls that can stay around for 2 weeks in some areas.. it’s even snowed in December at summer.. 🧐🇦🇺

[@brucie-of-bangor528]

Not to mention Tasmania@@aussiekat6379 covered with snow right now in an area about as big as England. I remember in the 1980's driving from Moss Vale to my home in Sydney and it was snowing all the way to Cambelltown. But people do not associate Australia with snow.

[@aussiekat6379]

Beautiful snowy mountains and campsite. Seems odd to see snow when here in parts of the US, UK, Portugal and Spain, we are experiencing 3-digit temps and wildfires, as I'm sure you've seen on the news. I live along the shores of Lake Michigan, so thankfully, we're not having real hot weather and no fires. Your dinner with the sausage, etc, looked good and the breakfast looked even better! I could almost smell the maple cured bacon. It's my favorite. Snow and cold weather camping are my favorite kind of videos, so you can keep them coming. Do you ever do a hot tent? Take care and hoo roo!

[@annieb7868]

I was worried when I saw the exped mat on the outside of your pack that you wouldn’t have enough R value under you for winter camping. Relieved to see that you also had an inflatable mat with you when you went through your gear. Good idea to use the exped to boost the R value of your other mat but also good for safety given the problem you’re having with the other mat deflating. Why don’t you have a look at the exped range of inflatable mats as a possible replacement? They’ve got some great winter options with high r values. Once again, I never cease to be impressed with your menu planning and skills in the backcountry kitchen!

Please continue to winter camp, I love it and look forward to learning more about your beautiful country! God speed and happy trails.

@@leylandroberts4820 that’s amazing, I feel so dumb for not knowing that! , thanks for the info

[@clementtytube]

​@@leylandroberts4820​​ Ooh that is great to hear mate!!!. I will be moving to Oz by the end of this year with my family(MEL). And we just love it here, weather included. The only thing I don't understand is why most people of other countries think AUS is just a hot desert. I think 75% of the continent experiences all the 4 seasons. Perhaps it does not snow throughout the country in winter but definitely 1 digit temps prevail like anywhere in Europe or the US and people in the southern half of AUS cities need fire-place, centralised room heaters and stuff for at least 6 months in a year, I believe. But I'm not sure why people from other countries still don't really know about this? What would be the reason for this brother?

Hi Scotty, How kool are the Aussie highlands, stunning scenery, beautiful sunset and sunrise. Thanks for sharing mate.

[@ewengillies9826]

We are blessed with an awesome country and people like Scotty showcase it to the world better than any paid tourism adverts. Just wish our population would appreciate it for what it really is. Thanks mate for the stunning shots we're so proud of what you do and how you do it... so naturally. Bushyboy Oz.

[@rikkim4818]

Thank u Scotty. As usual we enjoyed camping with u.

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

hey Scotty, from Canada here. If you make a fire on snow, it is best to lay a foundation of wood on the snow as a platform to prevent the moisture of the snow from affecting the wood. Afterwards, you put the tinder and kindling on top of that platform and make a fire as usual. That's why you had a smoky and difficult fire without a platform. It would have been best to lay the fire on the rock beside you, unless it's not allowed in Aussie? As for the deflating mat, it's because the warm air from your breath condensed and shrank with the cold. You most likely have no hole, but rather, the cold air shrank. In Canada, we tend to use a closed cell foam mat rather than inflatable. About 6 inches, or 150mm of insulation under you is recommended on snow. I recommend speaking with Gordon Dedman about snow camping since he's trained in Scandinavia too. He may have more useful pointers for you.

[@emf333]

Appreciate the effort to get the action shots of you hiking with no other footprints in the scene from you setting up the camera.

[@redweston7925]

Mate!! One of your shorter vids but one of my favourites. Please do another (if you can). As an Aussie it’s so mad to see a new side of camping in our beautiful country. I’m from QLD so snow camping here would be such a dream to experience. Cheers mate 👍👍

[@krisgarwood5733]

Scotty, try a "top down" campfire. Biggest wood on the bottom as your base, then stack smaller wood and finally your kindling and tinder. Works like a charm in wet, snowy conditions like we have here in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.

[@lynnemaree8346]

Thanks for this video Scotty. Since coming back to Victoria from Africa, I have been absolutely intrigued by snow this winter .. but I have been a little hesitant to go out and wild camp in the snow .. not really knowing how to begin. But this video has just inspired me! Great job.

[@davidr7236]

Luke, start with a day trip that's actually just a few hours on snow. Look for a hire shop that does apres boots, snow shoes and toboggans. Work out where there's snow and a spot to park on the side of the road. Tramp uphill a bit (because you can more easily see the snow conditions uphill) and find a spot to toboggan a bit. Took Mr10 on just such a trip 3 weeks ago, they had hire in his size and he had a blast. After a few hours everyone's done, return to car, chill out home.
