That was a very relaxing video, thanks for sharing Luke. Nice to see someone cooking up a feed of good old rabbit, nothing like a good old rabbit stew ,not much better than that except maybe crumbed rabbit.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching. I've cooked rabbit up a few ways but I think this is the best for sure. Make sure to stay tuned, I'll be posting a vid every week.
Well done ! A genuine imagination of what the early settlers faced. Not just one night....but every night until more substantial accommodation could be built. Our forebears could show us a thing or two about how life can be tough.
I found your video. While at home in sydney with the flu. I've Watched everyone. I believe Australia history is not lost thanks to guys like you. Enjoying watching you make your camp your food and your fire . Every thing is interesting .we need more of this freedom to lift our sprits. Thank you again .And keep them coming ❤❤😊😊
That was a nice relaxing video. I love this. Love the music too . Makes me yearn for the simpler life although obviously it would have been hard too. Thanks for these videos.
Good Video, Small suggestion... show all stages of a build for the viewers... for example on the "building oil skin tarp shelter", show us how you put up the wooden frame as well :) keep up the great work
No worries mate! Thanks for that. Yeah the frame was already there from a previous camp I did with my kids and we just used a regular plastic tarp! I guess that's why it wasn't included. Thanks heaps for watching.
Mate you have no idea how much good this vid did me, or maybe you do. I live in London UK and have been going through some hectic weeks at work, now I'm off sick, and just loving every second of this and your other vids. Going to binge watch your channel the next few days. Not as good as actually being there of course but still watching this is doing me the world of good. Later this summer I will be doing some wild camping in Shropshire.
Hey mate, thanks heaps for taking the time to comment .. that means a lot. Stoked to hear the videos are enjoyable and doing some good for ya. I've always been fascinated by some of those wild plains in England. I'm a big Lord of the rings fan and I know Tolkien was inspired by the English and Scottish countryside. Sounds like you some good 'right to roam' laws over there as well?
@@TheBeardedBushranger Right to roam laws are only really in Scotland, if you mean by that right to wild camp as well. Also on Dartmoor but there are ranches bigger than Dartmoor in Oz. There's an unwritten rule that you can camp above the line of the any drystone wall in mountainous areas like the Lake District, but only from dusk til dawn, and obviously leave no trace. But to be honest it's easy to wild camp without trespassing if you know what you are doing, there are lots of little workarounds, for example alongside canals. As long as you're not a dick about it and don't make a mess it's no problem.
@@simonh6371 That's really interesting information. Unforetunatly we are getting more and more restrictions on where we can camp here in Australia. We still have some fantastic options though, and I agree if you are stealthy and clean up after yourself it shouldn't be a problem.
Thats great mate. I've just headed over and subscribed to your channel. New Zealand really does seem like a pretty incredible place for outdoor adventures. Some similarities with our history as well
@@TheBeardedBushranger Thanks bro, welcome aboard. Our swagman/swagger history is quite unique in the world, I am learning about it and am drawn to incorporate it into my outdoor experiences. I just returned from attending the basic bushcraft course at WayPoint Survival, Ohio, USA. He has some great content about the US hobo culture.
@@TheBeardedBushranger It was a fun course. We delved a little into a hobo trick, but I am hoping he develops a course more focused on that element. It would be a great experience.
Beautiful mate. It reminds me of Primitive Technology. Very peaceful and informative. I think you sounded a little rushed through the poem. I'm guessing nerves. I recommend a single frosty beverage beforehand to set the mood. Thankyou.
Bless you! 🎉 Splendid episode lad! Even if you're camping not too far from home it's still amazing! Marvelous terrain and surroundings! Well recorded sounds and scenes! 👍🏻 Brilliant! Best regards! 🌳 🌲 🐗 🌲 🌳
No kidding, that soak? I thought you were making fire starters for a second! This made more sense than several "instructional" videos.You have to do what you have to do = don't like rabbit without a LOT of spices! Wouldn't have had to pee again until having gotten wrapped up like that...Makes me to wonder about US Plains Natives... must, wherever they were, have made A frames before they figured out Yurts or TeePees...
Mad cool poem, That tarp looks amazing by the way, I've not had rabbit for years and I feel like a dumb arse I thought damper was literally dough boys😂 not even close.
Great video mate, thank you for it. Peaceful, characterful and also goes to show how much info can be imparted with good camerawork and editing. Love the inclusion of some Mackellar poetry too. Wondering what and where you source your pipe tobacco from? Look forward to getting into more of your channel.
Thank you very much for watching. I love some of that old poetry! I get my pipe tobbacco from www.tobaccoblends.com.au/ and usually just buy the pipe samples. Unfortunatly, our baccy gets taxed so much in Australia it is really expensive.
Had to be miserable in any kind of heavy rain. Best to pitch it on the top of a hill so rain at least drains away from you while sleeping on the ground.
yeah this is the only area I got on my farm property that is flat down by the bush! It doesn't get too boggy where I am because there is a bit of a natural gutter on either side.
I have just watched your first two videos and have subscribed best channel I have had the pleasure to watch so far. I would appreciate more information of the books you show FOLKLORE OF AUSTRALIA and THE PIONEER YEARS (authors and publishers please) thank you in anticipation!!
Thanks for watching mate. So the Folklore of Austrralia is by Walter Stone .. and there is a 3 piece set of books called 'Australia, Australia Vol 1" by R.M. Younger and it has 3 big books including "The Pioneer years" "March to Nationhood" and "Challenge and Achievement"
@@TheBeardedBushranger thanks for replying with the info and I actually have just ordered a copy off ebay, looking forward to receiving it and reading it from cover to cover. I do a lot of reading as I am finding that the programs on tv do not hold my attention for very long. I often wish we had the u/tube when I was younger as I am finding these channels extremely interesting and would have tried to emulate some of the exploits of yourself and others, however as I will 78yrs old tomorrow and having recently had a heart attack I have had to restrict myself, bummer getting old!!
@@roywells7974 Gday Roy. Yeah I reckon youtube is great like that .. you can watch the topics you are interested in. One other book I'd reccomend that I found to be a really interesting read is 'The Bush' by Don Watson. Whereas these other books are detailed history books (which I love) the Bush is a book about our Australian history with some good thoughtful insights in there as well. Wow 78 years, well done! Hoping you can recover well after your heart attack, and hopefully still get outdoors as much as possible (even if it's not on big stenuous adventures)
Hey Luke, enjoying your new channel! Just a quick question: I hand-crafted a bedroll from duck cotton canvas a while ago for my 1800s-themed hunts. I haven't waterproofed it yet because I'm unsure about the safety of soaking your bed cover in highly flammable turpentine and linseed oil (even though it is historically correct) and sleeping with it near open fires. How's your DIY oil trap working out? Also, how much turpentine and linseed oil did you use for the canvas? Thanks and keep those awesome videos coming! Greetings from South Africa!
Great questions. So I used a 50 / 50 mixture of linseed oil and mineral turpentine. I can't remember exactly how much I used of each, but just filled up a bucket and made sure it was a 50 / 50 mix. You can make up a mix and paint it on (which I did here) but I do find it is better if you can soak the whole cloth into one big bucket / mixture. I have both a heavy duty canvas one (here) and a light cotton fabric one which I use for carrying out bush as a bedroll. Once the material has fully dried and cured (I found from 2 to 3 weeks) it won't be flamible. I've lit a spark and light on all my oil skins to test it and show that it won't catch on fire. I reguarly sleep right near a fire with my oil skins, and they are much less likely to get damage from a spark then your normal tarp or tent material. Though on my most recent trip with mattsy from the silly swagman, a rock exploded in our fire and a big coal landed on my oil skin .. it did burn a hole through the material, but considering how big the piece of coal was I was still impressed how little of the oil skin actually burnt. Thanks for watching the vids.
@@TheBeardedBushranger Thanks for your quick feedback. It was quite a test dealing with the campfire incident, but I'm relieved that no one got hurt. Your advice has made me feel more at ease about waterproofing my bedroll canvas. Using light cotton linen canvas sounds like a great idea for traveling light-I'll definitely look into it. Thanks again for the helpful videos. P.S. I noticed you also enjoy tobacco. My go-to daily smoke is a local brand called "Jock," named after the famous Staffy dog, Jock of the Bushveld. It's a Virginia leaf with a caramel topping.
@@swanieswanepoel7845 Awesome. I love a bit of Virginia flake. Personally I like my aromatics and flavours like cherry vannilla. I also just picked up a sheep skin bedroll which will work great inside the light cotton oil skin tarp.
That is NOT like a settler from 200 years ago. They would have had good sense enough not to build things of rotten wood, lying on the ground. What are you, some kind of woke person.

Thanks for watching! This was an older video from last year, good to see people are still enjoying it.
From one bearded dude to another: this was a great video. Purely Australian.
Cheers mate! Always good to hear of more us in the bearded club!
Yes sir. Ta.
Extremly authentic even down to the trolley and educational good stuff
Thanks mate I appreciate that.

Cheers mate. I really love the Aussie history and learning more about it.
@@TheBeardedBushranger yes likewise, great to see Luke
Awesome video. Keeps moving. No time wasted on silly stuff. Am going to have to try the beer addition to stew. Cheers!
