4 Days Solo in the Mountains of the Jagungal Wilderness

[@DukeRaoul-69]

I don't watch the channel to watch you walking. I watch the channel to listen to you. To admire the beauty of the bush and to help my own mental health. You and Scotty have helped a lot of people with your videos. Don't pay any attention to idiot trolls.

You and Scotty are doing great work. Found you via him and am very pleased to see you both doing so well and growing you subscriber base and viewership. Keep doing your own thing and being true to yourself.

Thank you mate. This KZbin thing is a wild world but all the positivity far outweighs any of the negatives, the comment just made me think about why I’m doing this so I thought it was worth sharing. I really appreciate you supporting the adventures mate. Thank you 🙏 take care

Ah dear Mattsy (aka the Summit Marker) you’ll always be my favourite bush philosopher. I honestly don’t know any other KZbinrs that have the kind of humanity and sensitivity that I witness in you and your vids. Gives me hope! Makes me happy to be an audience in the Silly-verse. :)

Got to hike with Trin for a couple of days, what an absolute legend and inspiration. It's so cool that you bumped into her.

[@bennyc409]

Mattsy, you're such an authentic bloke, and that's why so many of us follow your channel. Your banter, your sense of humour, your philosophical interludes, and your real moments about stuff like mental health; they all add to your videos. Keep being you brother. As a another bloke who's had his own battles of the mental health variety, it's always great to see someone talk about and normalise it. Oh, and top notch vid as usual ya bloody legend. Cheers! P.S. - you ARE the Summit Marker. P.P.S. - that quiet moment at the summit hit me right in the feels.

Benny, mate. Thank you 🙏 That was really lovely and encouraging to read man. I truly appreciate it. Authenticity is locked in. I’m too rebellious to join the mainstream noise 😂 And yeah, as soon as I added that piano in I just had to sit there and watch it over a few times. Thanks for watching mate 🙏

After losing both my parents to the big c, nature is what connects me to them, everytime i go into the city it cements the fact in my head that we arent meant to living that way. Its too bloody stressful, nature is where its at. Love ya videos mattsy maybe one day ill make a video of my ventures, yewww.. thanks for your service mate!

[@TheSillySwagman]

I’m sorry to hear that mate. But I agree! Nature is where it’s at. It just feels so damn right being out there. Yeah, build yourself a house, whatever it might be, but the city ain’t it. Thanks for watching mate!

[@GaryTischer]

There are loads of hiking channels - your authenticity, honesty and random chaos is why I watch yours & not the others. Jagungal is one of my favourite areas having climbed it 9 times (3 hiking, 3 xcountry skiing & 3 on bike packing trips) #10needs to be special so maybe a hike/packrafting trip. Interested? Let me know 😎 Keep doing you 👍

[@mrspontiac9174]

Great video, and the world needs more people who are willing to talk about mental health - especially men. Don't stop doing what you do!

[@Fiona_Chasing_Light]

As many others here have said - I'm here because of who you are as a human being in all your layered, complex, amusing and very authentic and open-hearted glory. Bah! to the trolls. Also have my hoodie - it's great quality and I love it! Well done to Scotty on a gorgeous design. This is another great video Mattsy - walking, exploring, philosophy, meeting others on the trail to admire and learn from, all in a beautiful and rugged alpine region. And finally ... can't decide on the pink or white. They both fill me with a little joy actually. Soft fluffy sweet pillows of sugary goodness toasted on a campfire under a star laden sky is always going to be a good thing.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Yes mate! I love that! Good for you mate, good for you 💪💪 Stoked to hear it. It’s crazy that taking this leap and starting this channel so that I could spend more time in the places that make me feel good is having a similar affect on others when they watch them. I bloody love it. Thank you so much for sharing dude. Keep getting out there! Take care 🙌

[@ohnopiero]

The Jagungal Wilderness is, low key, one of the best places around. I hiked there a few years ago, and the most epic part was going off-track, bush bashing down the southeast side of Mt. Jagungal, and then skipping along Bogong Creek back onto the main track. It brings a smile to my face watching you enjoy the place!

Thank you Lou. Yeah it’s a very tough thing to come back from for those men and women no doubt. It’d be very isolating on their return and just a very strange world to return to as well. I don’t know what the answer is but certainly talking about it openly is a good place to start.

[@louwallace4139]

@@TheSillySwagman

[@cjod33]

I agree with you 100% about being away from foot pads, tracks etc. I grew up wondering the bush as a kid and there's nothing more boring than following established tracks. To me , walking is a way of getting to a place to do something (fishing etc). I've never completely understood why people will walk through an area. If you walk from one place to another , your passing through. Taking time to have a fish or collect what mother nature provides is important for connection to land. 'Take only what you need and not what you want' .

[@TheSillySwagman]

Absolutely! I totally agree. I mean for sure I understand hiking through a beautiful landscape but it’s just not the same as finding your own way.

The world is starting to understand mental health. Keep on being you, helping those who need it and educating those who don’t know they need it.

Thankyou, go easy.

Absolutely ripper of an episode well done

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Loved it as always mate. Great videos and amazing places. As for the Black Dog, Many of us fight it, myself included and that is why we head out into the bush camping, hiking, 4wding, fishing or what ever it might be. As for people talking about it, I feel it needs to be spoken about because it reminds us we are not alone and that in it's self helps us get through it. I feel you never cure it, you learn to fight it, to cope with it but it only takes something small for it to return like as you said being stuck inside for some reason. Your videos help me and others keep on top of our own black dog and that is partly why I do my videos too, to help me and to help others. Yanma Budyari Muragu Mittigar (Walk A Good Path Friend).

@@MikeyIsSoGreen thanks a lot Mikey, I appreciate that mate. I feel the same, I feel like there’s a lot of people talking about where to go or who to see if you’re suffering from some form of mental illness but it’s rare to find people who are going through it just opening up and sharing their experiences, which I think, just like you said, is super valuable. A lot of the time people just need to relate and remind themselves again that they’re not alone in it. Thanks for watching mate

[@LisaFrostPhoto]

It's so sad there are people who put no effort into watching your videos who feel the need to criticise something that takes days for you to film, and just as many, if not more, to edit. They're your videos, so express whatever you want to express! I've personally had a lot of stress over the last few years, and just the last couple of months it's been catching up with me. I think part of the reason is I haven't been out myself exploring nature and taking my photos. I really appreciate following along with you to places I'll likely never get to myself, and one of the things I like the most is the authenticity of your journey. You talking about your reason for making videos has helped to remind me of what got me started making videos myself...a place I'll be getting back to. Thanks for the inspiration, and thanks for sharing the realities of life - it's never going to be all sunshine and lollipops, but time appreciating the beauty of nature, and time making real connections with people, is what makes all the difference. Cheers! 🙏

Hi Mattsy, what a lovely video! The Jagungal Wilderness is amazing. What a hike! That last evening watching the colors of the sunset sitting by the campfire was so serene. I love camping & the outdoors & can really relate to an evening like that. I live in the US, so not used to an Aussie accent, but I can understand you much better than I can Scotty . He really has a heavy accent. I love hearing an Aussie accent, even if I can't make out what's being said. The guy that talked about you doing a mental health video - wow. If someone cares enough to voice how they're feeling, the listeners should respect that. We all learn from each other. We don't have wombats & kangaroos here, but we have manatees, which I think are extremely odd looking. Like a giant sausage swimming in the water. So take care, Mattsy, I think you're a super, caring person. Love from Wisconsin, USA.

Couldn’t agree more mate. It’s pretty crazy how much we can play it down, I’ve always known I’ve had something chipping away up there but genuinely didn’t think it was much at all, now that I’m older and going the direction I’m going I realise how much whatever that thing is has stopped me being able to live a normal life. So it just goes to show how much we all try to just downplay things. I should clarify I’m definitely ok, just in terms of careers and being around people so often. I just burn out so quickly.
