Hey everyone, YES, I am very aware that trout were introduce in the mid 1800’s. I wasn’t suggesting indigenous people were thriving off the trout😂. The river is crystal clear and clean, so there is an abundance of wildlife there and the soil is obviously quite rich with nutrients as the flora super green and thriving. Thanks for watching!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

I can't wait to see you try and strap that ice maker to your packraft, because I expect you to bring it on every trip of ours from here on out.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Hahaha how have I just seen this 😂😂 Imagine if I lost that…

[@nzbakerman]

I would pay to see that 😂

[@RinnieCroft]

You are both a great combo together!

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

I don't know Scotty. He lost a GoPro on a pack rafting trip with you didn't he? He'd probably lose the fridge as well. 😂🤣

[@firetofork]

You're a man after my own heart: fire cooking, cocktails and quitting your job. My man

[@AustralianSpace]

Mate, congratulations, and good luck for the future. I’ve enjoyed your videos for ages - the mix of adventure, your appreciation of country, your dry humour and humility all make you a joy to follow.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Thanks a lot mate! I really, really appreciate it 🙏🙏 It was always a gamble when I started, not knowing how I’d sound or be perceived on camera, I’m glad for the most part it seems to be positive feedback 😅 Thanks for your support, always 🤙

[@amandalee7783]

Mattsy, this has got to be one of your best takes. Lying here in a Sydney hospital being treated for cancer I hadn't the pleasure of the sun, fresh air reaching my face for at least 3 weeks now. Watching this video allowed me to escape this journey and get to experience the imaginable cold dip, that tequila dance and trout and nachos meals for real in a gorgeous and serene location. That early morning fog take took my breath away! a location I would like to go to when I am able. Thank you so much. I'll rewind this video again right now. I wish you every success in your F/T KZbin career. I look forward to more soon.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Amanda, thank you for those beautiful words. I’m so sorry to hear about your battles but I was so moved reading that just now. Thank you. 🙏 I know how important the outdoors is for everyone but at times some more than others. I used to watch channels just like mine to get me through difficult times as well, I’m so happy I was able to take your mind to a beautiful place and hopefully put a little smile on your face with my dancing too😅 Thank you for the feedback and encouragement, but also as a reminder as to a bigger reason for doing this. I’ll soak it up for motivation. I wish you all the best with your recovery, Amanda.🙏🙏🙏 Thank you. Mattsy

Boys and girls he’s done it again and congratulations on the first since going full time. Beautiful setting,little bit of bush craft mixed with new tech and a few laughs. What’s not to like. Let the good times roll.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Thanks a lot mate! I’m glad you enjoyed the vid 😄 It’s funny how an idea for a vid can seem so simple but once I start editing I see how all the little things come together to make it a bit of fun 😄

[@Blashswanski]

Watching you learn to cook has been an absolute joy, Mattsy. One day i hope to see a cooking supercut: all your iconic recipes in the one video.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Hahaha leaps and bounds hey 😂😂

[@Benjabogo]

We are here for you man. Congrats. Keep em coming. Love ya.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Thanks a lot man! I appreciate it! 🙌

[@mwe1337]

Its just fantastic to see fellow Aussies out in nature..iove the bush and any type of local video s like this get me right in. You have another subscriber. Take good care mate and stay safe.🤟

[@TheSillySwagman]

Thanks a lot Mark! I agree mate. Can’t go wrong. I shall do, take care mate!

[@soundslikesweeney]

Love that Ecoflow range. I have one of their power stations and solar panels too. Also... again, big congrats on leaving one job... for this brilliant one that we all love! We're all here to help you keep those Mattsy channel camping fires stoked and burning. :)

[@AussieBushLawyer]

Congrats Mattsy, definitely a huge milestone hope it works out!

[@TheSillySwagman]

Thanks a lot mate! Haha I hope so! Let’s see!

[@Fiona_Chasing_Light]

I quite love the sheer absurdity of dragging this fridge with you on a hiking trip(!) Looks like a beautiful spot. There's something about the call of the Kookaburra ... I suppose it's an iconic sound of the Australian bush. It's always fun coming along on your trips - and I hope you are really enjoying this new chapter in your life. Quitting a job to pursue a life you feel is true for you - congratulations and remember your KZbin community are here for you during the times when it might feel a bit wobble and uncertain.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Thank you Fiona 🙏 I agree, the sound of kookaburra’s never gets old. 😊 And thank you! Whatever small amount of anxiety leading up to this completely disappeared the moment I left the other job for good. This feels right and already I feel like I’ve become a better person for doing something that just feels like the real me. So onwards and upwards I say. And yes, this community rocks! 💪🙌

[@mitchhall3732]

Goodluck for the future Matt 🎉 was one of the easiest 25 minutes to sit through. You're a natural 👍

[@orac2901]

Great video and congratulations on leaving your job and going full-time with you tube. I love how simple you make it, except for the fridge 😄 and down to earth you are! I hope the channel goes from strength to strength.🎉

[@vickizacharia]

Awesome video Mattsy. One of your best to date. Stunning locations, great camera work and when the cocktail shaking music 🎶 came on....I cracked up 😂. Loved every minute of it 😊

[@abelstewart2616]

Hey Mattsy, I've been following you for years, first time commenting.... Congratulations on your big step forward, well done!! Absolutely love your channel. Looking forward to more quality content. Thank you.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Hey mate! Thank you for commenting to wish me good luck with the channel, I’m glad you did, it all helps. 🙏 I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. Onwards and upwards!

[@_Sil_]

Mattsy, you amazing fellow. Congratulations on making the leap. Your bravery in this has inspired me to grab a YT membership in support of what you do. Your words always resonate so deeply or split a grin across my face from ear to ear, and sometimes both. Good luck on your scariest and hopefully most rewarding adventure yet.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Thank you so damn much, Sil! I really do appreciate that very much 🙏 I’d say it’s by far the most daring but at the same time the most freeing decision I’ve made 😄 It’s worth the shot I say. I’ve got the rest of my life to make it up if it doesn’t work out. But it will! 😄🙌

[@iankerrphotographs]

Fantastic video that really hits the feels. Laughs aplenty from the moment we see you all kitted out in a very serious looking pack......then dragging a bloody fridge 😆 Mind you that's one amazing fridge! Congratulations on going full time with the channel - may this be the start of something wonderful. You've got my full support mate.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Mate, I really really appreciate that encouragement. Thank you 🙏 And yeah, I thought the grand entrance dragging that thing over the rocks would be a fun start 🤣😂😂

[@naturalist7022]

Big congratulations. Mattsy, wishing you all the very best! I love your content and your editing, you have such a passion for nature and adventure and you're so funny too! Way to go!

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Congrats on going full time mate. Glad to see you are doing well enough to be able to quit and do this, it is after all the dream of so many of us. Once you have a fridge in the car you will wonder how you every went without. Since putting the drawer fridge in mine I love the thing and hate going out without a fridge. I keep cold water in there at all times and some juice which go down great on a hot day after a walk.

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome video mate, looks like a great fridge as well. Hey big congratulations on quitting your job. So happy for you 🤠👍👍.
