Wild Aussie Hammock Camping in a THUNDERSTORM! // New Bushcraft Knife.

[@dutch1171]

As an Aussie who has lived overseas for 15 years now, seeing your videos always makes me think it might be time to come home. Great location you had there. Thanks for sharing.

[@Cedawood]

Me too! I grew up in Sydney from 71 to 91 & came back to visit old blighty for what was meant to be 6 weeks, but alas I'm still here 30 yrs later in the UK & am very home sick 😢

[@andreyschneider9934]

We often forget that everything amazing is very close, you just need to take a step! In nature, you feel life is real and you find peace in yourself. All problems seem very distant at this moment, and time seems to freeze!

[@thomhollyer4102]

The cinematography on this video is incredible, you should be well chuffed with it.

[@kurtklein1079]

Thomas Hollyer what about the music? 🤟🏼

[@epochdestination]

Kurt Klein right?!?

[@memoriesoftheshowroom1171]

18:29 I actually frothed over that tarp B Roll. Really enjoyed this video!

[@ladyadventurer5095]

Beautifully filmed... love our Aussie Outback and you are a great ambassador, Scotty! Love the hammock too!

[@Owl566]

Hey mate, good to see you back at it! When I go out, once I find my spot I stop and sit on my pack for 20 minutes or so. That way you get the feel of the spot. It’s all well at good for it to look good and fit what you need but you don’t know what that spot has in store for you until you sit quietly for a while (if you have the light of course). The bush forgets your there after a while and comes out of it’s hiding spot. It might have save you some effort in the future.

[@petercrispin2129]

Marg... Marg.... the rains are here. ;) Gotta love being affected by bushfires then floods.Everytime I drive through Buxton, Tahmoor, Balmoral, Bargo, Yanderra and Colo Vale (Wollondilly/Southern Highlands). I once saw beautiful towns and villages, then I saw a blackened landscape, now I see how beautiful a bushfire actually cleanses the land and the bush is regenerated. I am truly humbly honoured to live in this beautiful country we call and share Australia.

[@theskyisblue8979]

I heard the local aboriginal word for winter in my area was Kudlila which comes from the word Kudlinthi - to wash the earth. After seeing the first green shoots at cudlee creek, this really struck me as super true.

[@marksomerville1275]

Mother Nature, she taketh away.. but gives back a fresh start to a brand new day... stunning..

[@kcraig51]

I've wanted to go to Australia my whole life (I'm 52 now). Such an alien landscape to me. Beautiful! Your channel was in my recommended list, this was my first watch. Great video and editing. Greetings from Tennessee, USA!

[@racko651]

52 half way. Better make it happen mate.

[@dangerdan4x468]

I live in NSW Australia. Come on over and enjoy it mate

[@kcraig51]

@@dangerdan4x468 I would LOVE to. No money, no time. I know I'd enjoy it.

[@HariKristiyanto]

Nice hammock shelter, bro

[@outdoorstransient1498]

Great to see you out and about bruh. Wonderful new knife and pantry. Thanks for that.

[@ivansiladji]

Incredible video mate. You really did our Aussie landscape justice after this video, especially with all of the fires we've had. You showed natures strength very well. The sunset through the rain was award winning B-roll. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks mate.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@finding_mojo]

Another great d Scotty. The quality keeps getting better. You are clearly a forest dweller amd need to recharge in nature. Your love of the bush is patent as is your knowledge. I like that you showcase our wonderful busnhland to the world. Good on you mate!

[@Cedawood]

What a beautiful Ghost Gum in the beginning shots. Gawd i so miss being in that amazing country!

[@TheWildWondersSA]

Biltong is the best! Great video mate! Big fan from South Africa

[@hermit6208]

Jurassic Park...Australia looks like a holdover from a different age. Otherworldly, even. 👍👍

[@racko651]

Oldest continent on earth

[@benhowell5790]

Anyone know if the 'grass tree' Is the same breed as what some call the black boy? Or is that racist like everything else these days?

[@craigedwardsimko]

@@benhowell5790 Na not racist I'm sure, jeez who knows nowdays ? Was called black boy because in the distance it looked like an Aboriginal standing with his spear ( i'm probably wrong. that's what my grandmother told me 50 years ago)

[@BradGryphonn]

Some places are pretty special over here, Hermit620. I think you'd love it.

[@michaelmasters6028]

Great! Another video from the best bushcraft guy on KZbin.

[@mouseonamountain3783]

Awesome video Scotty!! Love the addition of the music as well, your filming is becoming an inspiration!!

[@CamperKev]

Another magical video. You really are unique. No other channel in Australia offers your kind of content, as far as I can see. Simply superb. - Kevin

[@BradGryphonn]

Bwahahaha! The Bull ant bit was funny. I learned many years ago to check for meat ant and Bull ant nest and holes. Those Bull ants are nasty buggers. Up in Far North Queensland, you have to check for Green Tree Ants. They live in trees and will react violently to anything that disturbs their territory.

[@phillipdunn2508]

Love your work Mate, another fantastic video. Great to see the music make a comback at the end too.

[@wadejensen3301]

What a beautiful piece of bush....thanks mate!

[@marianfrances4959]

You were missed! Great to hear the rains came and the fires are done. We care! 😙🇨🇦

[@ERIKOFFTRACK]

Dam Scotty - your videos are getting slick mate! Awesome stuff! Really glad that spot hasn't burnt, so good to see some green and even better to see some water flowing in the creek. Can't wait to get out there soon!

[@williamthegriffin6185]

Unbelievably beautiful country. Quite enjoy the 'artist' filming of the landscape. Keep the vids coming. Thx

[@NickandRachel]

Wow that place is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing

[@jaywhite2759]

Great to see you back out in the Bush Scott, thanks for bringing us along. Nice to see some sunshine as we've had weeks of storms in the UK, the vans been rocking about like crazy in the wind and the ground is saturated.

[@stephenwismer5876]

great video Scotty - music, views from camera, all perfect thanks for sharing. Heres hoping all your spots were not destroyed in the fires mate. look forward to the next adventure

[@AdamAbello]

got to say you outdone yourself with your musical score for this one scotty !

[@rms8698]

Wow.. all the vegetation back to its place! Good to see them after that horrific fire.

[@fjdkfdfjdf33]

Beautiful! Fantastic with the rain. Glad you could get out again to experience it.

[@rickfromvirginia]

Wow, what can I say! Your video is awesome! I think the music, slow motion and general production of this video is the best one you've produced so far! Congratulations on a job well done! Not sure you can top this one but can't wait to see what's next! As always thanks for all the hard work you do taking us on your adventures in the outback! Rick from Virginia

[@katymills4452]

Excellent video. I cant help but think about all the useful plants you mention when 4x4 touring. Great stuff and cant wait for the next video!

[@rickashtray]

Good to see you back Scotty. Your vids are very informative but they are getting more and more professional and easier to watch. The camera work along with the music is wonderful. Loving this work from England.

[@elderhiker7787]

Another great adventure. I really enjoy seeing the beautiful scenery and vistas in your parks. Very different from area I’m used to in Pennsylvania, USA. I also learn a great deal about your flora. You are very knowledgeable and that increases the value of your videos. Thanks a million.

[@scrappydog132]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Beautiful bushland and super nice film/editing. Keep em’ coming, man!

[@michaeljasaits5243]

Bangin' video bro! You never cease to amaze with you're production quality and artistic eye. Thanks for taking us along on another adventure!

[@AmyOutdoors]

Beautiful imagery Scotty. Your storytelling just keeps getting better and better!

[@MissJudyJetson]

The opening song was perfect. Another great video!

[@mylesdk1787]

Good stuff. It’s good practice though to protect soft barked trees like the one you anchored off. Even just some 1” webbing wrapped around a couple times before going to your usual cord is much better than the thin cord that will leave a very prominent mark after you are gone. One alternative when using paracord is lining the anchor area with many vertical sticks to disperse the pressure.

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome mate, great video. Keen for the grass tree video 👍👍

[@danielfagan1004]

Always a solid soundtrack. Keep it up mate.

[@jasonmichael5055]

great wildlife slow panning. people don't always do it right, you do though.

[@four33]

What a pleasure to watch! Well filmed, well edited, great soundtrack- but most importantly the love of Nature that comes across. Hope your channel gets the growth it deserves. Best wishes

[@MrJeffro1960]

Great to have you back Scotty. Another great location and very well filmed. Thanks mate.

[@samireldiwany6868]

Next time I visit Aussiland I would love to have some time for a bush tour. This time I found a view hours just with my hammock in a park in MEL ;) Waiting for the summer in GER ;)

[@craigedwardsimko]

No worries mate !

[@peterkelly1355]

Great video mate thanks for taking us along with you

[@rohalas4418]

Very interesting Hammock, your video is very inspiring. Greetings from Indonesia

[@hubey]

Pretty nice aye. On a serious note, recognition to you discussing and the consideration showed to lighting a fire in light of recent events. Something to explore for future trips is bio mass stoves as a substitute for camp fire entertainment. A mini contained version of a naked fire and without floating embers because of the secondary combustion. Small bio mass stoves are probably a bit of a tease, so flat pack large ones are something to consider.

[@sammybrownfox6265]

Thank you from the UK. Subscribed.

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

Happy, really happy to see your beautiful country and see you out again. II just wish we could have seen more of that Thunderstorm. Storms, rain are the best parts of any video if there is any to be seen. And I kid you not, you DO KNOW how to edit your videos. OMG. Some of best editing that I have seen. Just mind blowing. Show more more. I want to see more. I will never see it in person. The music you choose just sets it off. Until next time. thanks.

[@steveb8001]

Wow, beautiful country.

[@daisyparker7638]

Loverly to see your 1st camping video for a new year - great spot

[@AusTactical]

Love that slow mo cinematography, nice scotty

[@grahamewebber6760]

Hey mate, your vid production has improved so much so quick, but still has a really natural feel, it’s a real credit to you. I appreciate how long solo setups take and your editing and sound is excellent to. Keep up the good work, happy trails.

[@KaylynnStrain]

Good to see you found a spot that didn't get fried by the fires

[@funnygazman19]

Scotty you've done it again. Top notch vid mate. Really relaxing to watch and i like the bushcraft tidbits too.

[@keiranm5]

Good to see you back in the bush again Scotty! braver man than me mate being on that ridge top in a thunderstorm

[@MrWalko]

Another ripper video Scotty. That area was absolutely stunning.

[@GreencampRhodie]

Magical. Priceless. Heaven on earth.

[@Rhysxv]

Amazing shots you got there, nice video 👌

[@stephendimech7174]

Very nice part of the bush

[@billbeuginton9742]

"Hey, you know what would make that slow close-up shot of flowers even better?" "Nah, what?" "EDM, but edit it in loud."

[@lazzasamuels3722]

Another excellent video, cheers mate!

[@bruceparr1678]

You should hike in to some of the burnt areas. It is an amazing experience. Those grass trees are sprouting right through the black areas.

[@nadenegordon7639]

The colour of those gums are gorgeous! Loved it.

[@karlo8093]

Glad to see ya out and about again! Pretty awesome knife you got too. Good Vid Scotty. Enjoyed!

[@mo0ks666]

I love the Aussie late arvo glow after a shower.

[@racko651]

Love the B rolls mate. Well done

[@JasonMcCann841]

Nice to see you back out there! Cheers!

[@humanbeing4978]

Awesome video you've made there. Really enjoyed watching it.

[@MatMcCrudden]

Love the hammocks, there perfect for nature reserves.

[@X_explorer]

Excellent movie!

[@billcotton1551]

Great Video Scotty! That is a sweet knife!

[@daltoncalvert6646]

Such a well edited and put together video mate. Loved the shots you had and looked like a good spot.

[@stevepratley]

Nothing like a full on thunderstorm to put things into perspective. Awesome vid mate, reinforced just how bad I need to get back out there. Might have to take a trip south across the border into cockroach country to get a fix. Thanks....

[@NukeFPV]

Congrats on the 50k subs bro.... Another awesome vid as always. Cheers M8 😎

[@k.c.c.ocamping4372]

Good video and beautiful place

[@jimfatyakmcgregor8867]

Fantastic stuff once again Scotty. That knife set looks awesome. Hope you were able to use some or most of you bush skills that you learned from Gordon.

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

Great video as usual. Was looking forward to the cooking part with the alcohol stove to see how you go about it. Hope you drag the stove out in an upcoming video. Cheers Scotty

[@pneumaone]

Really enjoyed the opening

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

As always Scotty, you do an awesome job of showcasing the Aussie Bush. I just did my first adventure but had to cut it short due to safety reasons. You and Erik Off Track and a couple of overseas guys have been such an inspiration to me and I always look forward to your videos. I'm so glad you managed to get out again and glad you found somewhere not blackened by the recent fires. Thanks again, I really appreciate the amount of time you put into filming/editing/producing these videos. Some folk don't realise how much time it takes to do it all. 😀

[@hermit6208]

Wow. Your production value is kicking up. Absolutely nailed it. 💪💪💪. That hammock location was incredible.

[@danw3676]

Just great - loved the soundtrack, and respect your call not to light a fire, that says a lot about you. New sub

[@colmacjames8424]

Scotty you do a really beaut job on editing your videos mate. Total enjoyment to watch several times as is the situation with all your videos. Yes everyone is entitlement to their opinions but why in the bloody hell would anyone want to give a thumbsdown to such quality, unbasised, naturally educational with no foul langauge or profane presentations such as yours mate. Keep up good work. This is coming to you from Phnom Penh. All the best, cheers mate.

[@elrey8876]

Great stuff. I don't know about anyone else, but I like to see a little footage of night time in the sleeping bag. Even just a minute or two before lights out. Being alone in the bush at night is atmospheric.

[@ivansiladji]

Yeah, agreed.

[@Roqjoru]

The Mr. Good thing you moved to higher ground, flash flooding can be bruta. As for bag on the ground, best to use 550 or 750 cord with a caribiner and hand . ur bag. I was was surprised your didn't have any trekking/ hiking poles.

[@nickfarr691]

I like quite tv. Things can be best learnt by just watching. Setting the hammock and hutchie, water purification and packing your bergen here taght in that way. Nice work.

[@shonchaudhary]

Its quite relaxing to see you camping 👍🏼🙏🏼 Namastey from India 🙏🏼

[@gbbushcraft2311]

Thanks for the video and just to let you know I have ordered a six jar swagies pantry from Mitch.

[@AlanJones-Waimana]

Hey Scotty, enjoyed this one and would like details of the knife maker again, as I can’t quite catch it.

[@emf333]

It's 3 months later, but the link to the knife manufacturer is in the description.

[@mattniven6380]

Lol I never go camping without my herbs, nice spot mate

[@TheHellfiremissile]

Love your video. Really inspires me to get back into this kind of bushcraft camping. Also, love that knife, am going of to find the supplier. good Aussie engineering. Many thanks.

[@rdubs_hikes]

Always great videos, but your production on this seems especially good. Soooo happy that you're able to get back out! Keep up the great work! P.S. My folks are coming out for 4 weeks to Australia and New Zealand for my dad's 70th birthday from the states. Super jealous!

[@patsimon12]

Nice video mate! Just a small comment, if you are going to be using the same tree more than once to anchor your hammock (or the tree is in a public place) - I recommend using nylon slings as it's a little friendlier on the bark. Good to see another Aus hammocker getting out there!

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Yeah I definately agree mate. I have some straps but I forgot to take them on this trip. Will remember in future.

[@Saarz23]

Hello Scotty! I’ve just discovered your channel. Absolutely stunning videos. You’re a great bushman, with amazing camera skills too! Looking forward to watching your back catalogue. 😎🤙🏼🇦🇺

[@deborahsmith9841]

Hey Scotty, this spot looks amazing can you tell us where this is so we can plan a camping/hiking trip sometime soon?
