I spent a week solo camping in the Snowy Mountains of NSW, Australia. This first video was just a simple overnighter to test my gear before I would load back up for the remainder of the week and journey further into the valley. It reached below zero while I was out there and it was pretty incredible to experience this place on my own for the first time. Thanks for watching!

You have a beautiful poetic rambling voice in the VO’s you do that has the timber of an old lost friend. They should either be making you the voice for all the Audible books of Cormac Mcacarthy or be giving you nature docos to present! But thats okay. You’re doing your own. And they’re awesome.

I think it was 2 years ago that I went with a friend to shining rock wilderness in NC and we had this crazy blizzard. I had my winter hammock setup on that trip. I learned A.) it's good to have a synthetic layer over your down quilt/bag to take the moisture from your body that would otherwise get trapped in your down. B.) I'm an idiot for not having snowshoes in 17" of snow. C.) as much as I love my hammock, a spacious tent for winter is worth the weight for the sake of my sanity to have refuge from the constantly blowing wind. I like seeing your awesome adventures dude keep it up!

@TheSillySwagman 10 ай бұрын
That’s a really great bit of advice about the synthetic layer over the sleeping bag. I notice the bivvy shows signs of doing that so I can imagine a proper synthetic bit of layering would do a really good of doing that. Thanks mate! Valuable lessons! And yeah, look, I really really did enjoy the experience of the tarp, I did do that on purpose, but I’ve done it now and I look forward to some luxury of a winter tent next year 🙌 Thank you very much my man!

Note to self….. Do not take for granted your time on this earth, for there are many things to see and little time to see them. The earth is a garden of ever changing seasons. It is filled with creatures big and small, that you will find in the tiniest of cracks and on the highest of mountains, deep in the big blue sea, and those that lurk only in the shadows. Do your best to make the most of this precious life you have, as it is a gift. You are born into a place of extreme beautify, where your very being is a rare miracle. Others will prosper and find comfort and safety within the walls of society but this is not for you. For you have tried and failed. You seek adventure, risk, and the reward of experiencing something that others may never seek to. You must keep moving, climbing, falling, rising, for it is your calling - to grow old and grey with stories to tell of a world that has been forgotten. Lost to the inventions of man that keep them sheltered and protected from that which they have already lost touch with. So fill your boots. Fill your soul. Take deep breaths. Struggle. Curse. Cry. Laugh. Warm yourself by the fire and chill yourself to the bone. The world awaits for those of us that are brave enough to see it. - The Silly Swagman

Yeah I love that idea about the burgers! I’ll try that next time. Don’t get me started on the snowshoes. It’s pretty much all I mention for the next two videos 😂😅 Last time we took them and hardly used them, I gambled, I lost. 😆 Thanks for the suggestions and for watching mate!

Thanks for your humour and your powerful insights into life as always. The early shot of you traipsing through snow is like a metaphor for the struggles of life. The work pays off... in the end. :-) "Don't start a KZbin channel"... noted!

Thanks a lot brother 🙏 I’ve just noticed you’ve caught into the channel recently and been on an epic deep dive of the videos, legend. Thank you so much 😄 I’m glad you’re enjoying them and getting something out of them. That’s what it’s all about. I really appreciate you becoming a member to support the adventures and content as well. You don’t know how much 🙌 And yes, let us fools do the dirty work 😂😂😂

@@TheSillySwagman It's an absolute pleasure to support you Mattsy. Hopefully I can throw more your way in the future. Rarely do I come across someone in this weird wide world of the internets that is real, deep, openly introverted and more importantly... hilarious. And yeah nah you're inspiring me to get out in the wilds definitely! Gonna head out very soon in a van and trek across South Australia.

a lightweight tarp would have been good to help secure your tent and give a bit of added protection from the elements and add a bit extra shelter especially when the snow was invading your tent set up

Hey mate, yeah absolutely. I go out with only a Tarp and bivy for the remainder of the week, I just wanted to test out the new pack but definitely could’ve done with taking the tarp along haha
