The water tree/ finding water in the Australian Outback

Geoff shows you a quick tip for when you're in the outback and finding a water source. There are many ways to find water but here's an interesting way to find water when in a dry environment

[@areftiari2197]

Well done I I learned something new from your video I am an Iranian who came to Australia to video many things in blue mountains and some of the jungles you guys have here. I know saying jungle is not the right word because Australia doesn’t really have big jungles but I still believe there are a lot more to discover than what they show us and I will definitely bring them up on KZbin and show the whole world what Australia actually is.

[@Raeburnsart]

Great informative video. We should all know survivalist tips as Australians with such rugged bushlands. If you love camping, hiking or just driving past.. youll never know this kind of information is needed. Enjoying the channel so far :)

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Hi Raechel. Thanks for your kind words, you have hit the nail on the head as the purpose of this very video. Glad to hear you are enjoying the channel. Many thanks, kind regards Geoff

[@ConfusedGeriatric]

What a great channel, glad I discovered it today. Cheers for sharing mate!

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Welcome to the channel Jim.

[@benatkinson3224]

Hey Geoff, great video as always! FYI it's generally known as the Great Western Woodlands. Cheers mate.

[@kellyvanwyk5968]

I watch these videos in case I go homeless or get lost

[@lachlanhaigh5763]

I’m watching because I wanna move out and live in the bush

[@lachlanhaigh5763]

@Cameron second one

[@asvp770]

@Cameron or a man, but either way go off 😂 why you so scared to live bush

[@BamBamZ_Gaming]

Heaps of ways to get water in the eastern scrub and those gums are everywhere lol

[@unsocialgremlin4834]

Im here because my friends are forcing me to go camping with them, but with no suppies. I might actually be the responsible one and bring a first aid kit lmao

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Well I am glad to hear they have responsible friend. Cheers

[@Thechist781]

And then will be Outback2 movie telling your friends story.

[@MareixxTR147]

Me watching this because I'm going to outback 😂

[@user-cb6jw5ky1i]

Don't look at the bush..peer deep into its soul!!

[@bornenit309]

I tried this, now im dead.

[@mikelast7918]

can you not tap gum trees to get water?

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Hi Mike. Not all as the some of the sap is toxic. Kind regards, Geoff

[@xstreampunk242]

Never seen this tree in my life. Will probably die of thirst. Weird camera angle. Thanks

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Well you will have to come to Western Australia to see for you self

[@fs-rj2jq]

well if its that tough finding water in the south west makes me wonder if the aboriginals would even live in a place like the pilbara

[@alexanderstevens145]

Im thinking what you're thinking if it gets bad we go live in bush lol

[@fs-rj2jq]

@@alexanderstevens145 its not out of the realm of possibility. after all survival skills are the most important skills when it comes down to it

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

They tended to travel through this part of the water due to lack of water and food. Cheers

[@paulwarren4388]

What a disappointment of how to find water in the bush.

[@Thechist781]

In those places there are kangas, dingos, pigs and other wildlife. Where the hell they get water from ?

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Soaks and rock outcrops. We have another video on the channel look at this. Cheers Geoff

[@justinthyme5730]

Why didn't you show us the amount of water thar came from that tree?

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Hi Justin. The tree does not produce water it catches water when there is heavy rain in the region, you can see how much water can be held in this tree at 1 minute and 52 seconds.

[@justinthyme5730]

@@seriouslyseriesaustralia Thqnks for your prompt reply, Geoff. I've lived in both Tennant Creek and Alice Springs and any water that flowed into that tree fork would evaporate in not much time at all. So unless you are within walking distance of the closest town/property, then yeah, you have no choice but to stick with your vehicle and ration whatever water you have.

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

@@justinthyme5730 I agree there with you Justin. Though it is interesting to see water means of water sources there can be available, and this a very unique feature of nature

[@johnrichardson8048]

He’s showing you where it fill up in rain times. Nothing but a bit of muck in there at the moment.

[@arion_g129]

Go to your school & drink from the bubblers

[@chris77777777ify]

He found no water. Completely pointless video

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

The video is about the principle. The video demonstrates this by showing and explaining that water collects in the middle of the tree.

[@treeliniusmaximus8412]

Yeah...but this only works if there has been rain...a feature of Australia is that there is f*** all rain. So...when you find a dry tree bowl then what? This video doesnt help at all.

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

All water sources need rain mate. The more knowledge the better your chance are for surviving to tell the tail.

[@edbroaotearoa1198]

Sorry dude this is not an informative video to walk around looking for a specific tree that may have water in it only if it's been raining.

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

I think you got the wrong end of the stick mate :). The video does not say that this the only way to find water in the bush, the more methods which you know of how to find water the better chance you will have of getting yourself out of trouble.

[@edbroaotearoa1198]

@@seriouslyseriesaustralia I know where you keep your stick butt thats the the same as saying if your in the outback look for a garage or toilet block

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

@@edbroaotearoa1198 I know it might seem like a foreign concept, though are very common in this part of the world.

[@TemplarX2]

Kind of lame. Water collects in natural hollows. No shiat, Sherlock.

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Yep, that is the concept mate. Though if you knew about the humble water tree, why watch the vid?

[@TemplarX2]

@@seriouslyseriesaustralia The information has some value, may be I was a bit rude. But I was watching because I thought this would be one of those plants that can store water in a way that makes it available when all water has evaporated. But in truth this is no different than a natural hollow in a rock. This is only useful when it is actually raining. It's common sense honestly. But still a good video visually and also the introduction of an unusual tree.

wasting of time

Wow krap
