Hey man really love the videos where you show and not tell. This is maybe my favourite channel to come really late at night on those days where I just can't sleep and watch while eating some food. Watching you just make stuff and do stuff in the bush without any talking is just really soothing. I really hope you make more videos like these with no or little talking in them especially during the night. Love your stuff mate. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep soon.
ATB to you mate and I'm glad my videos are helping in some way. I do prefer not to talk in my vids and just let the bush do the talking. So I will keep the talking to a minimum. Cheers.
Thanks so much mate. Definitely one of my favourite videos houve done. I love the traditional set up and the simplicity of what you do. Quality without the unnecessary bells and whistles. Well done.
Damn near fell out of my chair when you pulled out the Spam.... I love the stuff and so does my cat. My soaring flight instructor in England at RAF Wattisham gave me the nickname of Spamcan [I was a GI then (1972) and he said that during the war Spam from the US was a Godsend to the Brits.] I traveled to Brisbane (2001) to crew on a sailboat, but it fell through... so 4 of us americans decided to head for "the outback" to see what it was like. Never made it, even after 3.5 days. Couldn't (wouldn't) drive at night because of the threat of hittin' 'roos or wallabeys with the rental car. Most notable for me were the people we met, especially the station owner who invited us to stay at his station for a week or so (I had to be back to Utah, USA, too soon so I couldn't), the raucous sounds of the birds, and I couldn't get enough of the meat pies...YUM !!!!!. Took over 400 photographs, too. To all of you, except Australians, If you have a chance to see Australia, DON'T PASS IT UP! Cheers, Mate!
Thanks for the great comment mate. I really enjoyed reading it. Haha I laughed at the nickname "spamcan". I hope your doing well and thanks again for the comment. ATB. Scott.
This was so unbelievably Australian! I’ve been watching channels like TA Outdoors and just thinking, this is awesome but I don’t think you could do it in Australia. Not because it’s impossible but just because of the different types of materials available locally. Would love to see the methodology and the thought process behind what woods you are selecting for fire and fire starting. Maybe you’ve already covered it but this is my first video. Thanks for posting.
I love the sounds of those cool Aussie birds in the background, It sounds like you are in the Amazon. Your Cowboy traditions are solid. I have an Aussi Outback hat or two. Gaday mate
What a brilliant video there mate. Really like how you lean on many of the old Swagman skills and kit. And you can't go past spam. Best breakie ever. Keep them videos coming mate. Great to see a fellow Aussie bushing it out on our great land.
This is beautiful mate, just found your channel I'm going to do a few hours of binge watching your other episodes 😎 subbed and full support my fellow Aussie bushman 🇦🇺👍
What a great video it may be wish I was there. You sure have a lot of really loud birds and animals, which is amazing. I’ve never heard anything like them. I live in Washington state Pacific Northwest on the West Coast. I’m moving to Montana this year if you ever get out this way we’ll make sure we make an adventure of it. AJ Steele
I'm a bit, okay a lot jealous. I'm half way through some leave and couldn't get out even for one night since Gladys closed the border. I live on one side and have to go across the border for appointments. This means I can't go outside the 'border zone'. What a pain in the backside. Anyway, on the upside, great video, keep up the good work. All the best, Brian.
G’day old mate, that’s a fair dinkum great little camp you’ve set up there, love it 👍🏼. I love the sounds and smell of the bush, can’t get any better. Cheers mate…
Oh you poor thing you. (NOt too many people like Spam nowadays). Spam was invented during WWII for the soldiers. It is however full of preservatives, but is an excellent source of protein. You should try frying slices of it and maybe using tomatoe sauce/ketchup on it.
So tempting to swap the house for the traditional lifestyle of that era. such a tug. Absolutely beautiful bird songs where you were. High country? Such beautiful bush sounds and smells we are starved for in most of suburbia. I am thinking that their swags would not have been so heavy or tailormade either, for the really poor swaggies, which most were, not even a traditional swag, but a blanket or two and newspaper in between to keep them warm rolled up in a piece of canvas. I think we tend to glamouriise the swaggy these days. It would have been real survival for them, not a weekend trip to the bush with a perfect campsite, but rather exposed to all the elements, wind, snow, rain heat, storms. fires. etc. no zip up tents and sleeping bags etc. Homelessness and a poverty existence to the hilt, on a permanent basis! Don't think though the original swaggies would have regularly slept on a hessian bed either if on the move, most likely just on the ground, but would have used their hessian bags though in which to carry their basic items such as a change of clothes, very limited cooking items such as a frypan(?) knife fork and spoon, plate, cup, water flask.and billy at the side, not even a camp oven, too heavy to carry unless they had a wheelbarrow like the richer prospectors. Swaggies never had cars, maybe a horse, but not the norm. Also carried their simple food items such as flour, tea leaves, sugar, salt and bully beef, maybe treacle which they traded for work on properties and in the towns as well. They would carried a very small no. of personal essentials items such as scissors, string, rope?, a shaver and brush, small mirror, comb, soap, flannel washer, matches? an old cloth, a rain poncho maybe, and a couple of tools such as an axe, knife, shovel. Weight was always kept to a bare minimum and maybe a small canvas tarp. Only the very basics they would have had in those hard times for most, unlike the ridiculous glamorous sophisticated, hi-tech over the top camping(?), and endless array of unnecessary items we see being pushed and peddled today.. We need to keep it simple and get back to the very basics, better for our wallet, head, health and space in our vehicles.and not to be reliant on electtical gadgetry where absolutely possible. They didnt need a fridge or esky or batteries of any sort, no headlamps, just the fire!. No music, just the sounds of the bush or a harmonica, which is far better and more therapeutic for all, unlike today camping sites with blasting atrocious music. Cringe stuff. Today it is such a huge business by which they are intentionally turning the majority of the camping public, including 4x4 fanatics into camping woosers, with all their must have gear. Many would struggle, or not do it at all if had to do it with only the real basics like the old swaggies.and the old ttimers did. I often wonder how many authentic swaggies still exist in Australia.today. Your image of the swaggie and his life has bern iimmortalisd in the Aussie psyche for generations but the real swaggies were more like hobos with no fancy hardwearing gear and the majority probably died on the road from chronic health ailments due to constant exposure to the elements. But its their simplicity of life that is gaining traction these days and glamourising it to an extent where the authentic gear.is so ecpensive. Still your videos are an ode and a tribute to our lost Aussie swaggy. God bless them all.
Thanks again, only just found these. I heard lots of birds that take me back to child hood, I have lived in the Pilbara now for 30odd years. I think I heard, Kurrawongs? Sulphur Crested Cocky's? Wattle birds? Kookaburra's,Crows, & Wrens, then lots of unknown. Bloody great videos at at the right pace. Stay safe kindest regards from the Pilbara. Banjo.
Been watching a few more of your vids today. This is bloody awesome. I've been real inspired by the simpler bushcraft styled stuff that we have in our aussie heritage and your channel is perfect for learning more about it. Are you Vicco based?
The ol' dry weather camp. Because when it's wet, the water runs down the truno of that tree and you get soaked. Your 'traditional' ferro rod wasn't invented until 1903 and wasn't heavily commercialised until after WW2.
Happy Christmas whats your thoughts on matts pack ? I have some his orher oil skin bags great made gear look get pack for one or 2 night trips does it sit nice on back n shoulders cheers kiwi
Can someone please explain since when have we had dear in this country? I'm 60yo and I just found this out about a year ago! Do they even have a natural predator in Australia?
Bloody ripper video mate, kinda looks like my area of Gippsland Victoria. You should plant some spuds/yams to eat when camping so you can live off the land.
Thanks mate. We do grow quite a bit of food at the homestead. I do have plans on growing stuff at the Hut I have, on another property. Thanks for watching mate
Have you ever come across people whilst overnight camping? and if so what do you do? Loving the content brother, you're youtube is gonna blow with subscribers soon.
Hi there mate. Thanks for the great comment. I haven't come across that many people. The only time I have is when I go deer hunting in the vic high country, other hunters. If that happens, we usually touch base and find out where their going, so we dont have any issues. Haven't had any bad experiences.
Hi mate. Im not sure. I know he does a limited runs on stock from time to time. But it has been along time. The last thing I knew he was working on a new Haversack.
Gday there. Thanks for watching. There is just something about going old school, that I love. I live in Vic and this is on the property that I live on.
looks good.. just give him a 22 and he might get by.... this is so different to my experience..i am a desert guy. I like the landscape... but stop hugging the wet green fringe.. come out and have some real fun.
Great video! I must try that setup some time. Is the stringybark your using as tinder Eucalyptus obliqua? I haven't had much luck with it and wondered if the mainland specie was different and more flammable. I find Lomandra longifolia very reliable.
Gday mate. I hope your well. The tinder is from the Red Stringy Eucalyptus macrorhyncha. We have both here in my area. Give the dead inner bark ago next time mate. Makes great tinder and cordage 🤘
“So...um...yeah.” Quality explanation there haha. Gotta love Australians 😂 reminds me of the billboards we have that say “Yeah...nah.” to speeding. Random question but what pants are you wearing and what belt? I really love the look of both!
Awesome camp and video mate - enjoyed that one! Mat does make great gear! Do the wool blankets give you enough insulation from the cold air underneath?
Gday Erik. Thanks for the continued support. Yeah the blankets did. The way I wrapped myself up gave me good insulation. Plus the wool bush shirt helps to
@@Southernlandbushcraft heaven on earth mate . Bet plenty of animal sign , I’d love to live in the bush , I reckon I’d have a better conversation with the birds than I would with half the yuppies in the city .
@@Southernlandbushcraft I thought it was an Arabic word for scarf, even though it is essentially a shawl. You are not the first Aussie I have heard refer to it as a shemagh. Just wondering is there a distinctive difference between a scarf, shawl and a shemagh? I suppose the question is based on the fact that you could use several different words from different languages (including English) but chose shemagh.
i think your videos are great But iwas surprised to see you set up under 10 or so widow makers,as an old scout leader dead branches are widow makers and a no no
@@big_lez3657 My comment was just to say That I am glad that I am watching him camping out while I was snuggled up in bed in Country Victoria with a cup of coffee & the electric blanket on.Nothing to see there, but maybe it offended the rugged outdoor images of him in the bush.Where I'd like to be if I wasn't 74 years old & in CD-19 lock-down.

@@big_lez3657 My comment was just to say That I am glad that I am watching him camping out while I was snuggled up in bed in Country Victoria with a cup of coffee & the electric blanket on.Nothing to see there, but maybe it offended the rugged outdoor images of him in the bush.Where I'd like to be if I wasn't 74 years old & in CD-19 lock-down. Thanks for asking.🆗🦘
