Off the back of a trip with Scotty's Gone Walkabout I decided to sneak in another video. Scrambled to pull this thing together at last minute with next to no prep but it ended up being a really great little overnight. I could test trip for the little red yak - a few more mods and she'll be the perfect little lightweight adventure vessel.

CANOE CAMPING with Scotty's Gone Walkabout in the $1 canoe
Переглядів 2,6 тис.5 місяців тому
Scotty and I reunite for another canoe camping trip. Unlike last time, this one didn't quite go to plan. The water was brown, the fishing was tough and campsites were few and far in between. Did that stop us from enjoying ourselves? A little bit yeah. But nothing a few beers, some roo stew and some lakeside Two-up to honour ANZAC day couldn't fix. ROO STEW: 1. Chop; roo, celery, carrot, onion, ...

GOING “FULL BUSH” WITH JARCH. Camping by a remote river with Jarch from We Mean Well podcast.
Переглядів 6 тис.7 місяців тому
In this video I’m joined by old mate Jarch; internet funny guy and one half of the “We Mean Well” poddy. We bush-bash into a remote river, set up camp, build a swim up bar, cook a hāngī, drink a fair bit of Bundy and trade yarns. Lots of laughs in this one - promise.

A slower paced video this one (but in a good way) I hike along a ridgeline ‘til I find a perfect little spot to set up camp for the night. Set up a tarp shelter, make whiskey apples with local apple juice. I give a little background into who I am and why this channel exists. Then I cook a Steak & Guinness stew over the fire using my billy with a banger sunset for a backdrop. Pour a drink and se...
2 nights WINTER SNOW CAMPING in the Australian backcountry. -5 DEGREES.
Переглядів 3,8 тис.10 місяців тому
Me and my brother Guy head way out back of Kosciusko National park and spend two nights enjoying the last of the seasons snow. We set up camp in two insane locations, cold plunge in an alpine river, try our hand at some basic mountaineering skills (with arguable success) and get treated to possible Australia's best sunset. We take a tour of the NEMO Kunai 3p tent and why I like it. Possibly my ...
3 Day CANOE CAMPING mission with SCOTTY'S GONE WALKABOUT
Переглядів 4 тис.Рік тому
In this video I link up with OG UA-cam lord @ScottysGoneWalkabout for a three day, two night canoe mission at a remote alpine lake. We battle challenging headwinds, nerd out on gear, catch trout, cook trout and set up camp in two absolutely bullsh*t locations. Was epic to get to know Scotty and explore this little corner of the state with him - hopefully the first of many.

I take my $1 canoe on its first overnighter to a pair of rarely visited bunkers. Me and Ryan unleash our inner child; set up camp in a fort, drink whiskey, play backgammon and cook up a storm. One of my faves. If you know where this is and choose to visit, be respectful and don't be a d khead.

nice one . where was the put in point ?
Far out man !The way the water pushed you under Lucky to be alive really . You're a hard cnt , that was a bloody good effort salvaging what you did not even teeth chattering from the cold
nice one . bloody scenic camping spot . worth the trek to it . If ya going to capsize, nine out of ten times it will be getting in or out of your kayak . that one other time . well shit happens lol . happy yakin
Nice one. You'll be speeding all over the river in that thing. Meal looked good. Nothing has topped the Snack Pack yet though
How f**king good was the HSP!?!?! Cheer brother
Scottie please teach that man the J stroke
Haha he did try. Keen to learn it properly though
Another incredible vid, keep up the good work!! And what a magical spot!
Such a beautiful spot. Thank you 🍻
Once again mate really enjoyed that. I do you some caring with my mum who's 86 so I'm glad you beep out The swearing but I totally love your enthusiasm. I do enjoy watching a fair few of the other guys but what I like is you do your own thing. I love the food and alcohol side of things which really mix it up a bit I love Australian history. I've read many, many books or should I say listen to some crazy past. Plus I love poetry. Keep the poetry up. I really enjoy it there's a cracker on banjo Patterson that aren't many people know about a horse race is a few actually. I'll leave down on the morning to peninsula but my best mate lives in billpon 10 acres
Good video mate. Great little spot!
Thanks mate cheers 🍻
too good z, the feeds are always proper, red baron is a ripper too
Stoked with the red baron - I’ve modded it out a bit more too now. Yeah I’ll make sure I keep bringing the good eats
How bloody good!!
Cheers mate 🍻
I'm glad you're both okay. That's crazy. The water flow of that particular River can vary pretty much it would have been easy not to video any of it once that had happened but it was really good watching and you guys did really well to make the most of a bad situation and it always hurts to lose sentimental stuff. All the best for your next adventures sheppy
Thanks mate. Yeah the river was almost too tame until it wasn’t. Pretty sure this is the only major obstacle on the whole thing! Human error 100% and we’ll be more switched on next time. Yeah we thought we had to document it so the whole trip wasn’t a complete failure. Glad you enjoyed - cheers Z. 🍻
Epic Z
Cheers uncle Spenny
Another Zander special! I run the same yak and rod modifications. I stow all my luggage behind the seat inside the yak. So it doesn’t look like I’m wild camping.
Good little yak hey! I store my camera gear back there but the rod holders kinda get in the way so can put a big enough bag back there. Maybe I’ll try a lightweight trip like that
Awesome Vid, what river was that. Looked similar to what i did on the weekend in the burnett
You worked hard for that sunset drink Zander. I would sleep in a tent too 😂🪲. Great vid
Don’t be fooled by the exterior, this guy is scared of spiders big time!
Nice spot mate, get the video's out at your own pace and enjoy your family.
Thanks mate. Tough gig this one haha
Drinking the best beer from the best state. Another great one mate
One of THE great beers. Thanks brother ❌❌❌❌
Anzac 'cookies'? Are you taking the piss?
Nah Mate. Another yak required brother... You're working so bloody hard as it is, need something tough
You talking sh*t about the $80 yak? Haha it’s tough as nails it’s just tracks through water like a dog and pack on back doesn’t really help stability
This made me want to be back on the river eating charcoal cooked lamb, with a bottle of kraken like you wouldn't believe. Cheers
That’s the idea mate. That meals is a great simple one for camps and chilli roulette is significantly funnier with mates
@@zander_willimentJakko and I will be having a round of it next trip, not a doubt in my mind.
Hey mate have you got a public Spotify playlist running? Cracking tunes on all your vids.
@@dannny1389 thanks mate. My country playlist is called “All Hat No Cattle” open.spotify.com/playlist/46RXmpg5bOzBDPnp3YFis5?si=OJVBw1CgTs2SrrNd8qGk9g&pi=a-4mZc7icZSduW You’re not the first to ask - I’ll start adding more playlists at the end of my vids. Glad you’re enjoying cheers 🍻 Z.
Great vid mate, Surely you keep camping cocktails going
Definitely. They’ve fallen off last few vids. Next one 100%
Good on you mate, great video. Get them out when you can, we’ll be here 🤙
Thank you 🙏. I really wanna do more but life gets in the way. Big push in 2025. 🍻
Great pivot to the solo cave camp
Yeah this was right off the back of a trip with Scotty. Little bonus bad boy
Great to see you out on the water again. Love the red yak
This trip was actually filmed before the fateful canoe trip but I’ll be back on that river as soon as possible - we have unfinished business
@@zander_williment Ohhhhh,haha, I will look forward to you conquering that river 🦾
its the headlamp still on ya head while paddling for me haha wicked spot mate, sick vid to!
Haha never know when you might need some Lumens
Thanks mate
Sick clip Z!
Thanks brother glad you enjoyed 🍻
Hell yeah Z! That was sick, good watch. That cave was a hell zone and those lamb chops got me mad hungry haha
Can confirm lamb chops popped off
Beaut cave, great video, and I love Little Red
Yeah this is just the beginning for the little red yak. Thanks and glad you enjoyed 🤙🏼
One Dollar Canoe v2.0
Nah just something for solo trips. $1 canoe still lives (just, she needs some TLC) Red yak goes hard though
Was this after the huge rainstorm they had the other day? The river would’ve been freezing! 😬
Nah this was a while back - first weekend of winter. Haha I wish I could edit that fast. We had 30mm the night before. Water was freezing tho.
Glad you’re okay, and thank you for still pulling together this work of art video! Elite content. Happy to send you $1 to replace the damaged canoe if it helps 😂 But seriously, get yourself a Patreon and I’m sure there’s a few of us that’s likely to help to get stuff if it means you’ll keep doing great videos!
Hahaha that cracked me up. Yeah never really thought I’ve had a big enough following for a Patreon but maybe. Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed the vid - should be back up and running shortly. Cheers 🍻 Z.
Me and some mates had a nearly identical situation on the Clarence river. Great video!
Fuck mate. Scary huh?!? Glad you enjoyed. I felt like I got a stack of experience real quick on this one haha
EDIT: This video was actually filmed on Wiradjuri Country not Wodi Wodi country. That's my bad.
MATE, feel for ya. hopefully you are not put off trying something like this again. Been in a similar situation as well but not quite as hectic as yours. Glad you pulled out the other side OK. Can't wait to see you out there again!
Oh we’ll be back don’t you worry about that. Thanks mate makes for a good pub story now. 🤙🏼
Entertaining that’s for sure…great edit
Thanks Elly x
Hey mate, new to your channel, so I'm having a bit of a binge and they're looking mint! how do you go with all the copyright music? Is it only an issue once your monitized? Do they just flag it and that's it otherwise?
Welcome mate and cheers. I mostly use library music. Sometimes you can get away with being a bit cheeky and playing a snippet of a song. I haven’t been too fussed about it in the past and have only recently been monetised so now I’m a bit more careful
@zander_williment yeh ok sweet thanks. I first noticed because I could hear Alan Jackson playing in the background haha what a tune. Just hard to find the info on what's ok and what's not. Keep up the vids man and I agree the swearing is a welcome change even if it's beeped so your getting best of both world's.
@kyleinthewild. Alan Jackson is THE guy. Thanks mate, I’ll be sure to check out your channel too. Cheers 🍻 Z.
@zander_williment it's in the baby stages atm haha only decided recently to have a crack at the vlogging side of things rather than just trip videos with no talking. I'm loving making them though, so there'll be more to come
@kyleinthewild. Sick mate. Stick it out
Glad to see you guys got out fiscally unscathed and I’m sorry about all the gear! I’m looking forward to your next adventure, much love from the Netherlands!!
Thank you. Hopefully will have my camera gear up and running soon. I have a trip on a hardrive I’ll edit together on the next few weeks. Tell your friends in the Netherlands! Thanks for the comment - cheers 🍻 Z.
Holy shit, that was narly. Made for a great video though 😂
I knew the people would enjoy my misfortune haha glad you enjoyed
Tough gig but made for a good vid at least !
The toughest of gigs haha. Thanks mate 🍻
Wild! Good on you mate. What an experience. Keep up the videos!
Thanks mate. Haha it was painful to cut this one it was definitely an experience. New vids will be up and running again soon
heavy as mate, glad you guys came out alive.
Thanks dude. Yeah this trip went from zero to 100 real quick! 🍻
Glad you are both safe, how scary! And walking in socks through blackberry bushes OMG really unlucky! Last year our kayak flew off a shelf in a river that we couldn’t see until we were right on it, we went flying through the air and my Go Pro is also at the bottom of a river. River beds must have some great footage by now! Enjoyed watching your clip even if it was at your expense it made for some great viewing 🙂
Haha yeah just in case it wasn’t hard enough already the blackberry bushes were attacking me. Woah that sounds hectic. Yeah apparently my misfortune makes for good viewing. Glad you enjoyed 🍻 Z.
Capsizing and losing all your gear turned this in to a proper adventure. Raw and real. 100% worth the hit to the bank account.
Yeah it certainly felt that way. Glad you enjoyed the rawness I really just wanted to capture it as authentically as possible with the footage I managed to get. Haha you might not say that if you knew how much this cost me but glad you enjoyed 👊🏻 🍻
@@zander_williment 2-3k by the sound of it. That will be a week of ad revenue if you stick this out for a few years. Got the x-factor to make it big mate 🤙
@@MARS72JJ that’s a conservative estimate haha. Yeah I’m not going anywhere - that’s the dream mate, thanks for the support 🤙🏼
Glad you’re safe Z, great clip! 🙌
Thanks dude. Hard one to edit coz there was so many missing pieces
Epic Z - one of best yet
Thanks Spen! Turned out good huh
Brutal! Water always wins. Glad you boys are okay. Hope you manage to sort some new camera gear soon.
Very brutal. Was super humbling, should have new camera gear sorted in the near future. Can’t wait for a redemption mission.
Dude! that was heavy. Someone send this to Sony to hook you up with a new camera. I'm feeling for you. I'm pretty sure you knew this was going to happen though, so glad you didn't loose all that footage at the start where you were pretty much predicting it. Happy to see you both come out alive though. Damn good story in the end!
Haha I know watching the footage back it’s almost like I manifested it. Some scary moments and a newfound respect for the power of a river
Glad y’all are ok!
One of those ones where it could’ve gone really bad, but got away scott free. Very lucky.
I can't believe you put this on youtube...maybe a candidate for one of those funniest home video shows. The lesson here is learn to pack and handle a canoe before going out in those conditions.
My whole channel is about authentically documenting my adventures. In this case we were underskilled and maybe overconfident but you gotta give us points for self rescue. I reckon we got 5 years experience in this trip alone. I will never underestimate a river again
@@zander_williment Yep gotta give you that...safe travels.
Thank you for sharing this video. Makes you appreciate nature and showing the downs and the ups is still a good watch. Glad your alive
Ahh thank you. Yeah it was a scary situation - on one hand it was super scary, on the other I was totally fine. Could’ve been much, much worse
