On the first episode of 'The Silly Swagman', Mattsy treks into a Forest in NSW, Australia. Running into a snake is the least of his problems. Watch on for a bit of bushcraft, nice scenery and birds singing away in the trees above.
Enjoy and don't forget to subscribe if you want to see more.
Cheers!
Came back to watch my very first video I filmed for the channel, only to find I keep calling the tinder “kindling” 😂😂
No change here I see, still a clown 🤣
First one eh. I have been reverse watching your videos lately, newest to oldest. You started out with the typical, "I guess I need to demonstrate my bushcraft skills so they'll be interested', type of video. Now, you've come to realize that, you need to like what you're doing. If anyone needs to learn skills, they need to do it on their own. The plan to all these skills is to get out there and enjoy the earth and respect all it has. You've come along a good way. Keep going. Your skills are good. You're not a clown. But you are silly, Swagman. 😉
Haha I thought I burnt my food. You took it to a whole new level 😂 Nice vid mate. Looking forward to more. 🤙
Scotty! Haha ah true that. Pass the torch, mate 😅 Cheers for the feedback, that spear fishing one with your mates was awesome. Always ready for the next Scotty adventure
Lol that was hella funny eating that crispy af one
Remind me to never let you cook the Halloumi :) another great video
Mattsy your cooking skills need some work mate ,I learned how to camp cook when I was about 9 years old camping ,fishing and rabbiting with my mates ,the main thing to good bush cooking is controlling the heat if your cooking over the coals if I lived 800ks or so closer to you I would be happy to teach you .Keep up the great vids mate they are very entertaining.
Lol your definitely a humorous funny fella mate.
Happy days, my kiwi arse would of seen the snake gotten a jumpscare tripped over and gotten biten or fallen in the water gotten covered in leaches and though ol crap this can't be good but sweet as bro she'll be right 😂.
Can't go wrong with a Bottle O aye.
Also what the bloody hell kind of bird call was that at the end, if I heard that bird in the dark I'd be Shi#ing me self😂 sounded like a creepy ghost child lol.
Have a beautiful weekend.
Campfire smoke follows you because the hot air rises above the fire sucking cooler air towards it. Although your body blocks the cool air from the fire. This lowers air pressure near you and the smoke drifts towards the low pressure and you
Hi Uncle Jason looks like it was fun!!! we loved how you cooked that haloumi.
Haha thanks girls! I promise the first lot was perfect 👌 😉😉😂
We have a saying in Britain - when it is brown it is done and when it is black it is buggered. I cooked many a sausage too long to know that crunchy bite.😆
I'm here via Scotties channel. Thanks for keeping your camping trip real, scrapes and all. Subscribed👍
Haha no worries, mate. Thanks for subscribing! I do like to just keep the footage as close to the reality of the trips as possible. Too much gloss these days, hey!
Just realized that I'd missed this one, so had to quickly watch it. ALL food tastes great in the bush haha ;)
How’s the serenity, bloody ripper video mate looking forward to some more.
Blood unreal 😉😉
Cheers brother! Hope you’re well, mate. Plenty more to come!
Loved it mate. Your latest episode popped up in my feed, watched that loved it as well and jumped straight to EP1. Stoked I’ve found a new channel 🤛
You've obviously been to the same "turn your grub to charcoal" cookery school as Scotty😂😂
Mate just found your stuff and it’s awesome. Love it mate - keep it coming - so good. Great to see a someone having a laugh and a good time out bush. Great stuff Cheers @tonners
Ah mate, that is some bloody motivational feedback! 😆😆
I appreciate you taking the time to comment, man. Goes a long way. Thanks for coming along for the journey! Plenty more to come 💪💪
Great video. Discovered your site via Scotty. The cooking challenges brought back similar memories. Very much enjoyed you sharing the outing.
Cutting up a Pirate Life can to cook on : genius
❤
I love the watagans, it's my local national park.
So much out there for everyone👍👍
Mmmm Pirate Life! Nice! Great stuff Mate.
Thanks brother! Appreciate it🙌🙌
Great episode. Really enjoying your videos. When the title said "cooking fail" and then I saw you using the aluminium can to cook on.... I thought "there's the fail, it will be too hot and the aluminium will melt and you'll have a cheesy beer can mess" 🤣
Hahaha there was the possibility for that to happen too 😂 I wouldn’t put it past me haha
And I thought Scotty’s cooking skills were an abomination , great vid mate really enjoy your channel.
Haha! I do my best 😂
Thanks mate! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content. 🙏🙏
hey mate, Craig from Bushcraft And Camping Adventures here. Firstly, great first upload - you got a good camera presence and eye for a good shot. keep it up. but mate, the haloumi gods will not be pleased - ALWAYS cook haloumi in oil, ALWAYS. if youve seen my vids, you know i love my haloumi well done, but dude, that sh1t was charcoal hahah. and the bush doofs - you know youre in the Watagans coz of those bloody bush doofs. anyway again, great first vid, good luck with the channel mate
Hey Craig, haha thanks for the feedback, mate. I appreciate it!
I do know this, but the haloumi was a last resort and I didn’t fancy buying a whole bottle of oil with nothing to hold a bit in for the trip 😂
I’ll check out your channel tonight, mate.
Not wrong about the doofs, and the bikes, and everyone else out there.
@@TheSillySwagman oh the bikes, can't forget the bloody dirt bikes. All this rubbish yet still, watagans is my fave place to go camping. Fair call on the oil man, the haloumi gods forgive you
Thank you 🙏🏻
Yeah, I’m going to take a bag out next time and do a rubbish collection as I go. 👍👍
I’ll be keen to see your videos you haven’t filmed yet Mattsy, time for some catch-up, gotta watch more 🇦🇺👍
Haha cheers mate! This year should be a good one! Heaps I want to get out and film.
Thanks for the Video, Keep up the great work.
Definitely entertaining mate! Keep it up! Next time test your bushman skills at 2am and find the doof 😂
I was actually in the Reconnaissance Platoon when I left the Army, so... I’m sure I could put those skills to some good use 😂😂😂
Good on ya mate I'd like to see you back in the NT to do some videos
Great idea. You can take me out and show us how to get Shwacked! 👌👌
Love the video mate, keep them coming.
If you ever need some track notes for a few secluded spots around the Syd area send me a message.
See ya around the traps mate. 🤙
Absolutely mate, that’d be unreal 👍 I will do. Take care brother
Amazing.

Great video mate, you cook like me... keep up the great work digger
Haha Thanks, mate😁 I appreciate it. Will do👍
New subscriber here and loving your videos so far. Your trips remind me of my own, there’s always a lot of laughing on our overnight hikes and there’s always something that doesn’t quite go to plan. We were out last weekend and a bloody rat chewed through my Mum’s pack and ate her beef jerky….. she was not impressed in the morning haha. Thanks for the laughs and keeping it real!
That’s awesome to hear, Kimberley! Cheers for watching and following along!
Haha! Your poor mum 😂 You’ve gotta laugh at those moments though. Too good.
No worries! I think there’s a lot to be said for the uncut qualities of camp life 😂🙌
@@TheSillySwagman haha there certainly is! Those uncut moments are often the memorable ones. My poor Mum indeed, we had wild pigs around too snorting and grunting all night so she didn’t sleep too well 😅 She’s used to the luxuries of her caravan so I’m always proud when she makes it out with us though.
If you’re ever in QLD around the Sunshine Coast hinterland/Conondale regions just keep an eye out for those damn rats and pigs 😅
Great video. Discovered you after the Scotty cross over and really enjoying your videos. Good work and time to go back through the archive to watch some more
Thanks mate, I really appreciate it. Welcome aboard 🤙
Lots in the works for this year. Should be a good one!
@@TheSillySwagman no more lockdowns hopefully means we can all get out there and travel the bush some more
Nice video mate love to see it
Thanks brother 🤝
Thatta boy!
👍👍👍
Love the video mate! No piquet though? haha Keep the videos coming maiiin, looking forward to the next one
Haha! Helllll no, brother! 😂
Thanks man! I appreciate it!
Nice video, well filmed and edited. :-)
Cheers, guys! I really appreciate you taking the time to offer some feed back. It means a lot 👍👍
I’ve had my eye on a few of your courses, so close to home, too! I’ll definitely be seeing you guys soon.
How ya goin'. Came here from Scotty's channel, after the rafting. Like your work and have subbed and belled. Hopefully you'll get more views/subs thru that exposure. I've started here and will work thru your vids. Cheers Matt
G’day, Don! Cheers mate 👍
Scotty is an absolute legend for having me along for the adventure and video, I can’t be grateful enough that’s for sure. What a start to the year!
Great video mate... lovely surrounding area...I like halloumi but man you took it to a new level 🤣
Cheers
Des
Hahaha Thanks, mate 😎😂😂
Do you have a go to meal on your trips?
@@TheSillySwagman blimey I like noodles, bacon eggs, steak etc obviously not at the same time 🤣
@@descattysBushcraftbydescattys sure, sure. 😂 Yeah, I’ve got some ideas in the works for the next trip next week. I WILL find a butcher.
Cool video mate, it's always good to find fellow Aussies on YT. Camera work was well done, and like others have said, the voiceover at the start was cool. Btw, what's your camera setup? Cheers mate, subbed
Thanks a lot mate. I appreciate the feedback and the follow!👍👍
I’m just using a Canon 200D and switching between a wide angle lens for in camp/demo/blog style shots and a 50mm prime lens which is designed for mostly portrait work but I find it gives a really nice crisp image for the close ups, or if you can get it far away enough, the larger location shots. 👌
@@TheSillySwagman no worries, and cheers for the cam info. I'm toying with the idea of an upgrade, so that's cool to know. 👍
All good! It’s at the lower end of the price scale as a very entry level camera. But I’ve taken some awesome photos with it. It comes down to your lens.
Great video mate. What camera and microphone are you using here??
New subscriber here!
Ahh great stuff, Sam!
I’m sure you picked up plenty of cooking tips 👌😂
Great video, my friend! Enjoyed watching, your cooking and bushcraft skills are terrific! And the surrounding nature is amazing. Cheers from Russia, bro, and welcome to my channel about special Russian bushcraft tips and hacks! Kind Regards, Yuriy! ,😄🙂✌
Noice!
Awesome Vid!
Cheers Ison. Miss ya brother!
Great video
What pack are you using
Hey Dario, it’s a 5.11 Rush 100. Hopefully this link works. I didn’t use during my service but it’s a good layout for this sort of thing. Cheers.

Was it a snake or was it hoochie cord rubbing on a log ?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha! Oh mate... what a night 😂 You and your damn head torch. “Mattsy... can you see that light in the treeline ?”
“Yep. That’s McNally taking a piss.”
“What the f... “
I'd like to see more cheese on fire. It's the simple things in life that impress me.
Out of curiosity mattsy was this a certain forest on the nsw central coast ?
Hey mate, yes it was 👌
@The Silly Swagman my apologise for interrupting your peace I was at that bush doof
@@TheSillySwagman I'm also joining your channel love the content mate keep it coming
@@thestifmeister9754 Hahaha that’s so good 😂😂😂
@@thestifmeister9754 That’s what I get for camping in a state forest, though. 😆
I guess this guy thinks he is some kind of a flolosapher... and I can't spell...sooo
We’re all flolosapher’s in our own right, Ken 😂
Out in the bush 1k from an airport
