Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, a great detox from civilisation. I have done a lot of hiking in the Blue Mountains. But a few weekends back I did my first solo wild camping over 2 nights in the Southern Highlands. A great experience. The Blue Mountains are next. 👍

Epic place. Epic views. Such a dangerous place too for the inexperienced. Such treks are beyond my physical capabilities. I wish I had taken an interest in Bushcraft & hiking at a younger age, when I had more energy and a better level of fitness. I'm with you on the driverless cars. I drive for a living as well and the things I see every day just amaze me. How some folk keep their license is beyond me. Great views at the top of the cliffs, but I'd be keen to see the bottom of the valley too. Thanks for another great video.

Already got my eye on the river 👌 Yeah, truly incredible landscape that’s for sure. It’s funny, I asked myself why I didn’t get into bushcraft when I was much younger either. I’ve got a slightly cooked knee(not too bad) and I just think to myself about how many amazing places and videos I could have put together if I had started sooner. That’s life 😄

There is a place i once knew that is recognised by only one thing, its the worlds second biggest canyon. In Australia. I have no idea what it was called. It was a stunning hole to camp in. Roos plenty. I mention it because this seems like the place to. After finding your channel i feel like i found a new friend, it takes a real freak of nature to be a mate of mine, lucky you. And yes, we will never meet and sadly il never sit by a campfire and banta with you but your a cool bloke, real genuine. I just bought my first hiking pack from being inspired by you. Its a carribee pulse and i have no idea how to use it but its exciting, thinking that i could go to these places and do these things. Your videos are beautiful. Jurassic park. The beginning of earth. We are bearly out of the woods as a species and you make me want to go back into the woods.... haha yeah. Its sad i have no friends, just my woman and son but now you are my magic internet friend, you dont needa do nuffin. Its just comforting to have. I got a new pair of work boots too..., puma. Not sure if they were a good decision but its all i could get for my giant size feet. I have a intellectual learning disability so i live on a pension, i have huge suicidal issues but your making it better with your friendly nature... its amazing iv made it this far at all. I just quit smoking, vaping, bongin, and im riding my mountain bike daily now. I have huge financial debt but im tackling it head on and facing my fears. Its the words you speak i find so inspiring. Iv allways been alone and never thought others think the way i do. I have dreams... dreams of the places you go. I dream i take a 4 hour bus to the airport and fly to canberra to catch another coach bus to snowys. I have not seen the snow since i was 6. It would be a peaceful way to disappear and never return. I like the wax paper you put your foods in, i want to get some. Tonight il try not vom up my beer. Anyway.. thankyou for another adventure. Peace ✌️ 😢

Hey mate, you are definitely not along in the way you think and feel. Just know that, without needing to see proof. Convince yourself in the fact that there are more people like you than there are not. I know it’s hard to believe sometimes but it’s true. I’m happy to hear you’ve quite the smokes and are getting out on the bike so often, you HAVE to keep that up. Definitely use that pack to get out into the bush, I think it will really light a spark within you and change your perspective and your life in the long run. You won’t regret it. Just start easy. Campgrounds. Day walks then back to the campground. Then expand from that, you don’t need to go far from a fire trail or a hiking trail to feel a million miles from everything and everyone. That’s what I do a lot of the time. Enjoy the peace out there mate. I wish you all the best 🙏 Mattsy

Totally understand why you were bummed out at the start and good call on ditching the drone, totally makes sense. Lighter and further, less to worry about. I've only got the alton 3x3 for shelter, not a free standing bivy/tent bit worried about how to pitch it if I found myself in a similar spot to you in sandstone country, gotta practice some different formats I guess!

New Subscriber. I had a nervous time watching this because you stayed by the edge. I was so nervous for you that my legs hurt. I have a primal fear of heights, even standing on a 6 ft ladder. Loved the video though and those views were unimaginable.

When you make the decision to quit, you just quit, I did it at 40, now 64 had the best retirement ever since, not much money, but bush camping doesn't need much money just do it

Top video as always. Very popular area. The walk into and out of the valley is worth the effort if you get more time. There are plenty of options there and further west of there as far as Mt Vic. Check out some of Onni's KZbin videos of his walks around that area. Once again love the content, Cheers.

G’day Glen, Certainly can’t! It’s a pretty good tent, especially for the price. Just out of Anaconda. Easy to setup and pack up. Only downside is that it’s not freestanding. I do like it though. 👌 Will do. Thanks for watching, mate. 👍

Great vid again Mattsy, Such a shame to see the vast areas the 2020 Bush fires destroyed. All those dead trees and loss of canopy. Can see why they say we likely lost over a billion Animals. Will take 15+ years to fully recover. Hope we don't see that again anytime soon.

I find myself spending more and more time out in the blue mountains. For the exact same reasons you do. If I meet you out there someday I’ll let myself be known (if you see this). If you see me, my kit is OD green and Tasmanian Tiger/ Helikon. Cooee.

Please do, mate! Yeah, it’s absolutely stunning out there. I put off exploring it for so long because I just assumed it would be packed full of people but they generally stick to the trails anyway, wasted time! Ah well, never too late. 😄
