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, ...

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

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.
