  • I head back to the beautiful Blue Mountains to see the devastation left over from the Australian Black Summer fires and to spend the night wild camping under a tarp on a ridge. Talk about an epic location!

    What an epic overnight camp this trip was. I hope you all enjoy the video, and if you find value in my films, it would be great if you would consider supporting me. Thanks legends and I hope you're all keeping well! www.patreon.com/scottysgonewalkabouts

      @@bladesvlogs4965 I was very interested in scotts uploads until this one. He is in one of the worst hit spots of the fires and showed absolutely no empathy for the extreme loss of life there. In fact he proceeded to start a fire and eat a roo steak with the ashes of the dead on his hands. His lack of respect for country is
      absolutely disgraceful.

      TOO MANY CHICKENS Are you full quid mate?! You must be joking. I have an incredible amount of respect for the land. No empathy? Who the bloody hell are you to tell me what I’m feeling. When the fires ripped across the country, places I have personably camped at and connected to, it was absolutely devastating and it physically pained me to watch it. I’m now returning to the places I love and educating people and shedding light on how the landscape has suffered. What the hell are you doing apart from being a keyboard warrior? Bugger off mate.

I am from Mass in the US. and while I have traveled a few states away but there is a lot more of this country that I'd like to see but at my age I know that I'm not going to be able to. I am 70 years old and I have some physical disabilities that prevent me from going to some of the places that I would like to visit. The only way that I can do this is through the eyes of another traveler. Thank you for giving me the chance to travel with you.

    Great vid so far mate, I'm only at 6:55 now I'm not having a go or anything like that but you should explain why those weak branches are also important. They fall down and hollow out an can be used for nests, homes, and borrow entries for animals and also breeding grounds for huntsman's so it's a continuum of all life after a fire which is awesome in itself but also just a part of nature(:
    Edit; and sorry, forgot to say that part of the reason they weak branches fall of so low is so when they fall it's less risk of damage to wildlife, small plants and structure below( or so I've read anyway) but I'm always stoked on your vids!
