I know you get told this at every Xmas dinner, but you guys look so alike 👍😆 The music was absolutely sublime in this upload. I thought you had a nice little 3 axis gimbal ?

[@moekaykhine4633]

lt would be good to see you two do more trips together keep up the good work

[@moekaykhine4633]

would you mind posting this letter for me ✍️🇳🇱

[@moekaykhine4633]

all right I won't forget 👍👌🇳🇱💕🖐️

[@moekaykhine4633]

I was just passing by so I dropped In 🚶🚶‍♀️

[@mikezapalac]

Great video. I can tell y’all are cousins. He only slightly burned the bread. It is nice having someone else cook on trips. Gives you a break to kick back and relax.

[@wazzaboet]

I like the honesty from your cousin, a first hike seems tougher than I expected, now I know what I’m up for 😅

[@australiaduelmasters]

Love your videos and adventures Scotty! You should do a giveaway where one lucky subscriber can win a weekend away with you camping! I'd love to go on a trip with you man!

[@rikkim4818]

If he did that he wld get these scammers like l have done who come on his site saying to text this certain numb to claim your prize. Lucky l have brains but some ppl don't. Ruins it these scammer turkeys.

[@lilvalentine545]

He'd be a great guide ! really off the beaten track, magic locations.

[@australiaduelmasters]

@@lilvalentine545 Completely agree! Would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to go out with him.

[@Liam-ly8rv]

There's a business opportunity in taking newbies out. A lot of people want to do what you do but don't know the gear, nav, or even just know where to start. Where do they go? Its that initial step of getting out there that scares or just stops people. I know in hunting there are a lot of businesses that will help new people. Although there is unlike America a strong resistance to taking people to areas where they can find game. People would appreciate going out with somebody and showing them where, what, when , why and how.

[@fisher898]

Scott, I'm 70 years old and have been camping all around Australia all my life. This is as good as I've seen. So jealous.

[@swaggingsisters]

Yep, you can bring cuzzy again 😁👍 A great first trip for him, what a leap from caravan park camping to this!

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome! Teaching your cousin things and places he'll never forget...and good use of those snakes to keep the tourist masses away from Australia!! 😆 Thank you, Scotty, for being my Aussie backwoods tour guide! 👍😎🇨🇦🦘🍹

[@kevanne3230]

Bushcraft is about always learning Thanks for the lesson Kevin NZ

[@sparky0101]

Good stuff Scotty, as someone who has both been a newbie and hiked with newbies people often underestimate just how tough walking can be

[@tassiebloke8550]

Well done Scotty. Very interesting video with your cousin and breathtaking scenery as usual. Cheers to you both.

[@martinspenke3198]

Australia is such a beatiful place. Thanks for the video!

[@stephentuck6607]

Another brilliant video. This river would be great for lilo-ing (that is floating down the river on an inflatable air mattress). Apparently easier than walking/wading through the water :)

[@lolcatz88]

I could listen to that birdsong all day long! I honestly hate it when others campers feel the need to listen to music when they camp. I just want to hear the sounds of nature and relax

[@mikewesty2864]

Mate your videos are seriously epic! There's heaps of tubers these days and each has their own gift but your videos just speak volumes of an Australian bush adventure. Loved this one, as usual.... Cheers for all the hard work to bring us such quality viewing.

[@outdooradventures1]

Just wow for these magically places, greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@smoothwetsuitmike]

Adored watching this experience. After moving to Tasmania 18 months ago from Sydney, you've just taken me back to that amazing NSW landscape that I've been missing. Thanks Scotty!

[@rolandbates6978]

Absolutely spectacular! Very serene and tranquil! The perfect music for your trip! Respect from Arizona!

[@craig_ramjet990]

Scotty, I think I would have floated that river on a tube and had a second tube for my pack. Just deflate the tubes and stow them for the hike out.

[@susanalbone5101]

OMG I can’t express how much I enjoy your videos. Your cousin was lovely and for his first experience he did extremely well. As ever the scenery was awesome and the whole thing was an absolute joy and has set me up for the day. Thank you so much. Take care, be safe. ❤️ Dorset, UK

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks so much Susan. Glad you enjoy them so much

[@DottieStanley]

What a great first camping trip into the wild. It was so beautiful! Thanks for sharing your adventures with this old 68 year old arm chair travler!

[@linzimacdonald1580]

Probably one of my favourites 👍🏽 Was great hearing your cousins point of view. Tell him he should pack ear plugs for sleeping next time 😂

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Absolutely brilliant video well done to your cousin on his first wildcamp and fire starting what a stunning place that is scotty thanks for sharing mate atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@robinsavard84]

What a beautiful country you live in! Walking through water and deep sand is hard going! Great video!

[@jennyleef1775]

I love watching all these gorgeous spots you take us to Scotty. I used to hike and camp when I was much younger but it's not something I can do these days. I had always wanted to camp in a cave but sadly that never happened, and isn't like to now. I think that Ryan enjoyed himself, even if he was worn out, I think it was a "good tired". So perhaps you may have company again some time soon.

[@savethebeeeez]

I love how into it your cousin is and it's so nice seeing you teaching him the ways of the bush. Loved this one so much!

[@thedailymindset]

Great video Scotty. Your videos are epic man. Glad you took someone with you. Look forward to the next one.

[@jeffg4531]

Scotty your episodes get better all the time. Great to see you enjoying the Australian bush so much.

[@KaylynnStrain]

good to see you showing a newbie how it's done !!!!!!! LOVE all that awesome scenery in Australia

[@DRXR6T]

Hey Scotty have you ever thought about running your own small touring business?

[@hanksbud2544]

What great video. Sharing the outdoors with your mate is outstanding. Thank you for a fabulous video.

[@Stevej2013]

That place is bloody beautiful Scotty. Great video. Cheers.

[@steviedickins]

Thanks for another amazing video Scotty!

[@emmaphillips3847]

I love it. so much when you mention yowies

[@gigi3242]

awesome video, thanks for sharing your adventure. wonderful of you to introduce your cousin to the real outdoors; and what a good sport Ryan is. Be well

[@markwheeldon164]

Great video. Always love a good Scotty's gone walkabout video on a Sunday arvo. Keep up the brilliant adventures

[@tleej26]

What an amazing, memorable experience with so much to learn from someone who has such vast knowledge to share😃🇳🇿

[@davidwilliams579]

Thank Scotty that really was awesome !

[@gordongregory9659]

Beautiful, thank you again.

[@jimfromoregonusa9899]

Thoroughly enjoyed!

[@Aventure_Tourist]

Great adventure, great scenery, I recently started documenting my own adventures, I love this direction. Good luck on your adventures. Greetings from a Belarusian tourist! ✌️

[@garywood702]

Another great episode in a spectacular location!

[@paulevans1363]

Great trip amazing place your cousin is a lucky guy teaching him some skills just having a great time in the wilderness what's not to like 👍

[@fireflyrocks1]

Stunning beauty. Thanks for taking us along to see the part of our beautiful earth.

[@thesewildtimes]

I love 'new Scotty video' day! Keep up the awesome work mate.

[@nadenegordon7639]

So beautiful, next time you's should get a stand up paddle board, looks perfect for that. Thankyou, love my homeland. 🇦🇺

[@herbsmith6871]

Very cool! I'm guessing this will not be the last time we see him out with you. Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠

[@emmaphillips3847]

Watching this is soul food ♥

[@newsouthtrails]

Love watching your videos mate. Got me out exploring our beautiful country. I know you like to keep these locations private, but I'm wondering if you could maybe do a video on how you scout a location to go to? Landmarks you look for on the topo maps, where you local for local rules or TOBAN restrictions, etc. Cheers mate! Looking forward to the next video! Yew!

[@naturalthomas9157]

Really interesting hiking in the river. Beautiful. Can’t wait to visit Australia again next year. This time I’m staying over a month and will get to the NT for the first time.

[@dinahmoore9610]

Your videos are Magical , Beautiful country You live in .

[@gunterlangesschwein.kieran1784]

Lucky lads , what an awesome place. Absolutely beautiful.

[@zuhairqutafa4802]

Really great place to go for a hike. Keep posting blogs for such these beautiful places.

[@TessJernriddare74]

Great content and I really envy you guys to have access to such beautiful places to hike and camp. Thanks for sharing!

[@bposey69]

Wow! What a gorgeous place to go camp

[@dougy8428]

hi Scotty, it's pretty tuff going down the gorge with a foot or two water in the river, you'll be back there to finish what ya started I'm sure.. your hooked as I was and still are..wait till the water drops thou, a bit further down from the turn back spot look for the 2 tree ferns on the left..there guarding the slot canyon, I'm sure you'll like it and your viewers , many people would love to see these places but can't for all sorts of reasons and you showing them is giving something special so I take my hat off to you. take someone with you diwn there and keep the camera rolling, cheers dougy.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks heaps for the tip mate. I'll defiantly be heading back, either with a packrat if the river is up, or walking it if the river drops, so I'll keep an eye out for the tree ferns. Cheers

[@clintonmostert4728]

Where is this?

[@clintonmostert4728]

I love wild camping and I’m looking for less crowded places to go, this seems absolutely serene, can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like this in Victoria, is it in tassie? And where?

[@flash2mc]

Totally slay me with those misty morning shots. If you weren’t a hiker before watching this video, you would be afterwards. Beautiful shots and beautiful moments teaching the cousin a few new skills👌🏻

[@russelljackson4101]

City slickers meet the bush least he’s giving it a go this needs to be taught in all school across Australia

[@musobill]

Absolutely wonderful video mate! Top work. What a magnificent place.

[@TruthAboutHeaven]

Greatly enjoyed your video. Thanks a million for sharing it with us!

[@judyrobinson9556]

Greetings from a Wisconsin subscriber! Very nice hiking/camping adventure with your cousin, who resembles you. He really did well for a first time bush hiker. Looks like he can cook up a very tasty meal. The morning bacon and toasted bread really looked good. Beautiful caves and geography. I was thinking maybe crocs would be good to wear when doing all that river walking, but then again, when you sink into the sand, it might just pull them right off. Watch out for those Yowies, which we call Big Foot or Sasquatch here in the states. Great video, really enjoyed it.

[@deancorlett7288]

Love the videos, keep them coming mate.

[@richardeljay]

fabulous.. the firestarting lessons were great to watch.

[@rivertrees4733]

Beautiful! Thank you!!!!

[@reconeix]

Wow, gorgeous. At first glance I thought it was somewhere in Utah. When I finally visit Australia, I will definitely seek this land out. There are a couple of rivers here in California where the track is through the river itself, so I love these types of hikes.

[@peterbutler984]

love watching all these vids,,,,,keep up the great work mate......

[@louiskudlak2241]

I’d love to do a hiking/camping trip like that, so bloody awesome Scotty, so great the food you cooked while middle of nowhere, thanks for sharing buddy

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Wonderful trip Scotty! Your going to spoil him with places like that. HooRoo!

[@davidhale1568]

Fabulous trip and video, you guys travel in some style 😊

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Absolutely stunning mate. What a place for a camp. The walk would of been a hard one through the sand and water but so worth it with that scenery.

[@mj2745]

OMG I love this place!

[@scottashley3830]

Scotty your a legend, inspiration

[@peterselie6500]

different dynamics...nice one!!

[@Catmoore60]

I wonder if it would be possible to bring a couple inner tubes with gear in dry sacks and tie them to a nice flat floatie, and float down river lying down on your back…then hike back out.

[@m-bronte]

The outback is beautiful, really enjoyed seeing your cousin go along for the hike and overnighter.

[@aussiekat6379]

It’s not the Outback it’s the bush, Sydney is not far away just down the road a bit..

[@HLsab]

Chops and broccoli weren’t burnt 😂😂😂

[@wpkambiancesounds]

Beautiful location and video. Thanks for sharing..

[@sun_paper_girl]

Nice to see you with a newbie! I enjoyed watching the trek, the sights and the food. I enjoy your videos very much I don't think I'll ever make it to Australia so it's cool to see it through your eyes Scott. Cheers from Canada

[@krbushcraftaustralia5976]

Awesomeness mate keep them coming. 🤘🥃

[@velebithost]

Very relaxing m8 Thank you!

[@adbc8213]

Thanks for another awesome video! 🌀💚🌀

[@karenr67]

Wow really enjoyed that.

[@tranquilvortex]

Can ya feel the Tranquillity cuz? Bloody beautiful video! Thanks for sharing for those of us no longer able to get out there. What a special gift you gave him, the teaching of skills, along with awesome memories made. Noice one mate!

[@Dave-ss5pk]

I haven't seen your cousin back yet mate. Hope he joins you again as well as your dad. GREAT STUFF SCOTTY 👍👍👍🤝

[@Jenny_Ss]

Love this video what a stunning area you have shown us wow…..cousin is a sweetie 😊

[@bertorr7211]

Great hike, felt so bad for his first time LOL but what an experience. Good one Scotty

[@lourdesmurilloquintana5123]

Fancy meals!! Beautifull landscape.

[@craigperry7376]

Loved seeing the new areas of gorge. It seem your Cuz was enjoying the challenge too

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Nice to have a travel buddy 👍🏻

[@leonawilliams6599]

Thank you scotty ' for the beautiful journey' nice walk about;;

[@robellett8156]

As a Pom living in the States I really enjoyed this. I'm assuming that when the cameras stop at night they mostly talk about cheating at cricket 😉

[@tdb7992]

This made me laugh and I'm an Aussie! Great joke mate.

[@intricacy9490]

Did quite a few backpacking ventures up to 3 and half weeks in the Kimberley. Very special experiences. Took my bro on his 1st trekking trips. He acclimatised rapidly. To start a fire I used dried Spinifex. Only needed one good spark and its flaming. Sensational to know wilderness exists on Sydney's doorstep.

[@utahjohnnymontana3373]

0:23 Was that a yellow bellied black snake sleeping on a red rock waiting for the stranger to go? ok, maybe an old reference. Beautiful country anyway.

[@tito2928]

Wow, I juts found your channel and see a few of your videos. Is amazing were you at. So peaceful !!!!! Thank you fr sharing!!!!!!

[@tracker5849]

You know everyone out here wants to be you. You Sir are a legend. I NEED more words....AMAZING..BEAUTIFUL..EPIC...just don't say enough!!! SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC. 10000% AMAZING!!!!

[@marcomcdowell8861]

First go success on the flint and steel. Excellent. Took me forever, but so satisfying once you get it.

[@kristoffer-robinlotze7273]

Oh the envy! I'd love to join in for a weekend... would have to fly from Sweden first though. But next time in Australia, I'd love to join. 😀 Understandable if you don't want unknown joining in though. 😜

[@chisokchealeasing]
