Ahh mate… you did such a beautiful job on this one. A really nice video to look back at to remember a great moment in time. Thank you

[@ruppy4103]

Looking forward to your vid Mattsy 👍

[@ТУРИСТ-АВАНТЮРИСТ]

This country is so beautiful and so many millions of people take it for granted. Thank you for sharing. 🙏

[@TheSillySwagman]

Agreed! It’s pretty incredible to have an experience like this for the first time in your mid 30’s and beyond. Plenty to see and experience out there. We just need to get out and enjoy it while we can.

[@HariKristiyanto]

Winter camp in Ausie 👍👍

[@hikerinaustralia]

All of your "B roll" shots were like postcards. Absolutely spectacular countryside. You could not have asked for better weather that first afternoon.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate. It's hard not to frame up a good shot in country like that. Yep, weather was perfect.

[@janetwhite3768]

44 seconds in and I have to stop and say….my Lord what beautiful scenery! Picturesque 😮

[@AlexCimmaronBS]

Enjoying these videos with Scotty and Mattsy together. You two are different characters but work well together! More joint ventures please!

[@leosantoro1852]

you 2 are comedy duo. love seeing content of you 2 blokes out and about. biggest crack up haha please keep em coming

[@TheSillySwagman]

Haha cheers Leo 😂

[@timhaynes4967]

What a great adventure. Thanks. And I finally know why he is called the "Silly Swagman"... lol

[@susanalbone5101]

It’s amazing how a relatively ‘barren’ landscape can look so beautiful. The whole video was really funny and had me chuckling a few times. Thank you. Take care, be safe. ❤️ Dorset, UK

[@jerryscanas]

She is quite a pretty part of the world, one of the reasons I want to start hiking and wild camping in such a place.. even in winter I am good getting prepared and wanting to really give it a good go...

[@bennyc409]

There's never anything I think that can add something to your videos Scotty. But then along comes Mattsy and I'm stoked.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Haha! 😂 The majestic Emu tamer.

[@Mainer_in_Oklahoma]

I'll admit my ignorance! I did not know Australia had snow. Absolutely gorgeous!!!!

[@rossharlow-outdoors4690]

Great vid as per usual Scotty! And Mattsy reckons that was a chicken pie? Mushy more like......hey look an emu! 🤪

Thanks for showing us how beautiful Australia is 👍🏿

[@f33fifofum]

This is amazing, even for your consistently high standards. Beautiful country.

[@emenefer]

I think the first time I saw Australian snow was on your channel. Just another thing that makes me wanna go there.

[@rhondachapman3688]

Great adventure Scotty. Good to see the Silly Swagman too xx

[@grahamwood9842]

Absolutely beautiful. Also great to see you with company in extreme conditions. Well done Max.

[@budget-adventure]

Look out here’s trouble. You introduced me to the silly swagman a while ago and have been a sub ever since. You guys go together like peas and corn, great video and hopefully more team ups in the future

[@TheSillySwagman]

If people like you keep backing me up like this then I’m sure we will see a couple more collabs yet before he drops me 😂 Thanks mate 🙏🙏

[@moe_1886]

It's all fun and games till Mattsy comes along! 🤣 Loving the snow camping colab Boys and good to see Mattsy bring his big boy tarp this time... but maybe he needs to watch your tarp setup videos for next time Scotty! 😂 I would have made Mattsy drop and do 20 push-ups for burning the bacon though... what a disaster! 😭🤣 Thanks for the ride and the laughs Guys!😎

[@TheSillySwagman]

I read all the comments, Moe… very disappointed. 😂😂😂😂

[@michaelpepper7230]

Moe, only 20. You're way too lenient. It's sacrilege to burn bacon like that. He had a Howard Green on by the look of it so 50 would have been more appropriate. Great video though guys.

How good is Sweet Baby Rays!?! I can’t wait to get back into the snow. Thanks for the Sunday viewing Scotty.

[@dazheathcote4590]

A massive thanks to you too Scotty 😊☮️

[@outbackdreamer6445]

One of your best videos yet and a perfect way to end the weekend... Wet boots can be cold in the snow, but at the end of the day I put on a dry pair of socks and put my feet inside plastic bags before putting my boots back on. Just the kind of soft fruit/vege bags you get from the supermarket. Your feet dont sweat because of the cold and I remove them before hiking the next day.

[@jennyleef1775]

Absolutely gorgeous scenery. I would gladly have some of the scenes of trees etc. blown up and put up on the wall. Nothing better than the beautiful Aussie landscape.

[@Stevej2013]

That was awesome Scotty. Matsy always makes for comedic relief, and he was in our military. Sheesh lol. Great video gents. Cheers

[@TheSillySwagman]

And I was one of the good ones 😂😂

Such a Pristine place mate well done. ya mate Destroyed the bacon Even the Ravens where having a laugh

Awesome video, I regularly go camping in the snow in the hills around Canberra it's magic.

[@terryc47]

Camping 🏕 is easy..... bushcrafting is a whole new skill level. 🤣 Well done guys

Laughing at you effort on snow shoes. Liv in Ontario, Canada.. Beautiful country side . Thanks for posting.

What a beautiful country we live in!

[@sonyavincent7450]

I have breakfast envy.

[@aceleaf]

Our part of the globe is feeling hot these days. But looking Australian landscape it feels a bit colder. Fresh snow feels crispy under the feet. Thanks for providing this entertaining video.

[@ERIKOFFTRACK]

Nice one lads - looked like a fun trip in some really specy country. Not sure Mattsy should be allowed near bacon again though 🤣

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate and yep I agree haha.

[@brianbuzzen]

Great one thank you. Lots of laughs too , cheers.

[@ScooterGotLost]

Last couple of days have been a bit meah, so this was just what I needed to chill. Thanks mate, love these combo vids with the Swagman. He's a crack up. Never seen bacon cooked that way. Must remember NEVER to try that. 🤣

[@MTwoodsrunner]

Definitely a high point in your many treks there Scotty...thanks for taking us along mate!...woods

[@stephenparker7817]

Mate I’m so impressed! I’m an ausie (central west nsw) I lived in Sweden for a few years. Bushcrafted in -30. But your conditions up there are actually harder to keep warm than Sweden Keep it up mate. If you need some fly fishing tips hit me up. I’m a guide and I’m bloody proud of you.

[@POMOLY]

Wow, very beautiful snow scene. Heat is needed to keep you warm in the snow, and a hot tent and stove combo can ward off the winter cold. With the sun, it's a great winter camping trip.

[@chrisfillingham8983]

Love seeing you guys together again. Awesome work boys

[@TheSillySwagman]

Cheers Chris! 🤙

[@leah_cartledge9639]

It's great that you get to spend more time with your dad! Good to see the old fella out an about 😉

[@friendonfoot]

Mate one piece of kit that will change your camping life (believe it or not) is a piss bottle. I’ve been camping for years and always just put up with getting up in the night and facing into the cold or rain until a famous KZbinr recommended it and I’ve never looked back. Game changer!

[@AlainStewart]

Wow, some amazing shots of those brumbies there, mate. Gotta say, your production quality is fantastic too.

[@rusty4827]

wow!!! When I was young I hankered for travelling the world. Now I so love Australia i just want to see more of it's beauty an you showed us it so well. Thanks so much Scotty.

[@steffiduarte8347]

Beauty! Added to my bucket list!

[@johnrabey4212]

Scott "did you see the Yeti Mate?". Mattsy "nah Mate, Emu"

[@DaveMacsCamp]

Great video mate! I love how you can compare Aussie winter camping to most of the overseas ones. In Australia most of the snow areas are rugged and remote with next to no fire wood, and what is there is hardwood that you can't really process without a chainsaw. Meanwhile overseas they drag in a hot tent and a stove in a sled and in like a hour they process 3-4 trees with a handsaw and have a roaring fire all night long in a heated tent. Unless you go super hardcore like Xander Budnick 😲. Love your stuff mate . Beautiful shots!!

[@silvervon2658]

D’un abonné de France. Merci Scotty pour ces magnifiques paysages, cette belle musique et votre bonne humeur.

[@pacificpeaks7004]

Such beautiful scenery! Makes me want to visit! Greetings from your new outdoor adventure friend, from the PNW!

[@kcraig51]

I'm kinda embarrassed to say I never thought there would be snow anywhere in Australia. Just makes me want to come even more!

[@bennyc409]

By area, the Australian Alps actually have more area covered by snow than Switzerland each winter. It's just not that deep.

[@TheSillySwagman]

Yeah it’s a pretty strange country that’s for sure 😄

[@rodgeorge7244]

Another epic Scotty The Snowy Mountains never fails to impress mate I've travelled over a lot of it over the last 50 plus years and it would take many lifetimes to experience all that it has to offer.

[@ScottysGoneWalkabout]

Thanks mate. It's a very special place

[@papajeff5486]

BLOODY HELL!!! is a pretty good expletive, from Australian guys laughing at each other. So, how’s the tarp in the snow? You knew to bring shovels, pretty good. Early morning in cold, wet boots…embracing the suck. How to cross a creek, Aussi style. Legendary camping…heh, heh…thanks for sharing. Kentucky

This trip has to be up there with the best, just stunning. Watching this vid so reminded me of Hoges and Strop, you two cracked me up this time, bet there was a LOT more, so need a blooper reel. 😉

[@TheSillySwagman]

Haha Deb is not wrong 😂 I might be able to slip a few more gems into my vid that Scotty didn’t have his camera on for. He definitely blew me away with this video though. What a great thing to be able to look back on when we’re older.

[@DebOxy]

@@TheSillySwagman...Mattsy, I will be LOOKING for these "gems" in your vid, dont go easy on Scotty cause he really did put the dirt on you for your ass up in the snow, your charred bacon and that shocking digs for the night hahahaha :-P

[@thedailymindset]

Scotty beautiful video man. Enjoyed this one. I know you guys are looking forward to Spring.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

Hehe when it's going into Spring, a good tactic is to leave the snowshoes off until you absolutely can't do without. It's often hard snow, you'll be more stable without them. Maybe just some spikes would be enough. And if you wanna go down on soft snow, you need to plant your heels in the snow on each step, hard. Otherwise you're just gonna fall forward. Another idea is to do switchbacks in the snow, otherwise some people do actually ski a bit. But the worst thing to do is going sideways, they're not skis you can hurt your ankle easily. Snowshoes are good on flat terrain or uphill. They're awful to traverse a slope, cross country skis are much better for that. And uphill, skis with skins on are less tiring. Do be careful with sunburns, they can be pretty awful with snowhiking. I have a full beard and once had my lips burnt and the underside of my nose burnt. You think of protecting yourself from the sun, but you forget about the reflection on the snow. Every bit of skin (and lip) exposed is at risk.

[@Helliconia54]

Nice country up there Scotty. At first I thought an Emu was a small horse. Wrongo. I Googled it. It's a flightless bird. Look forward to your next adventure. 👍

[@hogey74]

Love this gents. Makes me frikkin yearn to get out in that kind of country again. I'm only one step up from a complete bunny so watching other people doing it is good. How about dropping one shovel and bringing a frying pan? Why not slap a patch on the blow up mattress? How much did the tarp, bivvy etc weigh compared to a tent? I'm trialling a tarp and trekking pole inner literally today out behind Brisbane and it's only a little bit lighter than my 1.5kg tent, but has heaps more room.
