Solo Camping In A Rain Storm - [ Fast Changing Weather }
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Solo camping during a Vic High Country rain storm. What an amazing experience provided you are prepared and your camping gear is up for it.
I spent two nights solo camping at high elevation in the Southern parts of Australia, in the Victorian High Country. Once the storm cleared i was treated to amazing mountain views over the Vic High Country.
My trip began in beautiful sunshine down in the low country, and by that afternoon a storm was beginning to build.
When the storm hit it brought strong winds and heavy rain, and the low cloud from the up drafts coming from the valleys below, was a spectacular sight to see.
The storm lasted all of that afternoon and into the night. By the time i woke the next morning, the weather had improved with the birds singing in the trees a stunning morning sunrise and blue skies.
I then spent the next two days of my high elevation solo camping trip, exploring the area with some of the best mountain views that you will see anywhere in the Vic High Country and even Australia.
Big views and big mountains, stunning country.
Im glad the weather improved, that allowed me to cook some amazing meals on the campfire.
This trip had it all going on, from a storm that blew up from no where, to stunning blue skies and tasty bush cooking on the campfire.
Solo camping is a great way to experience the outdoors, even if it is camping during a wild storm.

Thank Buddha for Tim Bates. I can’t go camping at the moment but I watch his videos and I feel like I’m there..
G'day Michael,
I hope you can get out camping again soon mate.
Thanks for your feedback and im glad you enjoy the videos coming through.
Cheers Tim.
Loved the time lapse of the storm and the views off the cliffs. Cheers Tim
Thanks mate.
Yeah that storm was wicked to see.
Cheers Tim.
I googled "what is Australian ?".... it said "see Tim Bates Solo Camping in Rain Storm".... cheers from soggy Ballina..
G'day Mark,
To kind mate.
But, thanks very much for your feedback and reply.
Yeah, i have seen the weather up in NSW. It's full on.
I hope things begin to dry out soon.
Cheers Tim.
theres no better kitchen than a campfire ! no matter what you're cooking its gonna taste amazing. Just cooked a cake last night at camp with a cast iron pot and it worked sensational !!
cheers mate
Gday Mitch
Absolutely mate. Campfire cooking is the best.
Amazing flavours that come from a camp oven, can’t be replicated from the oven at home.
Your cake sounds amazing.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Cheers Tim.
What a ripper episode Batesy!
Loved every minute of it champ
True legend.🇦🇺💪🏽
G'day Frank,
Wicked mate.
Im glad that you enjoyed it.
It had it all that trip.
Thanks heaps for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
You sir have completely exploited my envy. Your life is magic and just a few weeks each year following in your footsteps would recharge the old batteries real fine. Central California saying great video Tim. Awesome views and a good time watching. Blessing to you sir.
Gday Lonnie,
Thanks very much.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
It’s a great spot with amazing views.
Thanks for dropping in from California, I really appreciate it.
Cheers Tim
Good stuff mate. Watched this ages ago and am not sure I didn't say anything previously. Not going to go through 346 comments to find out.
Plain rice or steamed rice, as some call it.
Put about half a cupful of dry rice in the bottom of your empty billy. Tip in some water - just enough to cover the rice by around 1.2 cm (12mm/½"). Chuck the billy over the fire to bring it to the boil - it won't take long and you might have to give the rice a stir half way to boiling. Once it boils, stir it again, replace the lid and put the billy beside the fire just to keep it warm (not hot). Let it rest for 15 - 20 mins and all the water will be absorbed into the rice (taste it to see that the grains are not hard in the middle) and you are good to go with your plain/steamed rice.
No draining of excess water (saves water). It's easy to do in a saucepan at home and just as easy to do in a billy on the fire. Ask me how I know. Cheers. 🍷🍺
Gday Bill,
Far out mate. I’ve not tried cooking rice with the method you have mentioned.
I’ll be sure to give it a go at home first
Wicked, thanks mate for your reply
Cheers Tim
Mate . That’s a bloody good experience out there . you’ve thrown some bloody good angles and captured the perfect views. none like a high country 🫰
Thanks mate for your feedback, I really appreciate it.
It’s such a nice spot to camp with amazing views.
Cheers Tim
G'Day Tim
Thanks, Tim love your videos , counting the days till I get home . Looks like going to be a while so I can still see the great videos from the magnificent high country , lived up there and use to go fishing and not see anyone for days ...
G'day Kevin,
I hope you can get up in the high country soon.
It sure is a stunning place to be out on your own.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Your a true blue Aussie Tim. What crackin' video. I could sit there reading a book while listening to the landscape with those beautiful views. Don't why people want to go overseas when the Australian landscapes are spectacular. Love watching your channel. The big TV networks should pick up your channel up and show your talents off. Look forward to your next adventure.
G'day mate,
Thanks a lot for your reply and feedback on this video.
It's such a nice spot. You could spend hours and even days looking at that view.
Stunning spot.
Australia has so much to see, thats for sure.
Network opportunity would be great, but they don't come around all that often.
Thanks again mate.
Cheers Tim.
A top spot you had there Tim with fantastic views and nice and quiet. Very handy piece of tree trunk right by your fire place made a good servery and seat. Thanks for another entertaining video.
G'day Deane,
Yeah, fantastic spot, very quiet and peaceful.
That purpose made stump left behind from the last people, came in very handy. Lol
Cheers Tim.
What a cracking spot, loved the new episode
G'day mate,
Yeah its a cracking spot alright.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
What a magnificent view. Beautiful part of Australia. ❤
Yeah mate, stunning country thats for sure.
Cheers Tim.
Captured High Country camping beautifully.👍
Cracks me up every time you pull that brickies trowel out
Thanks mate.
The high country is a stunning place.
Hahah Yeah mate, the ol brickie trowel with the point cut off, works a treat. Lol
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Awesome video Batesy.......30min goes in a flash.
G'day Robert,
Yeah mate it sure does.
30min video but takes three days to film it. Lol
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Love your work batesy! Always checking your channel for new high country goodness... Your content is awesome mate so original and full of useful tips also with... no bull! Just what the people need! keep up the great work batesy! ❤
Gday mate,
That’s wicked feedback thanks mate.
I’m glad you find my videos helpful.
I’ve just got to get over a current leg injury, and then I’ll be back making some new high country goodness videos. Lol.
Thanks again mate.
Cheers Tim
You really put a lot of effort into the filming. The camera angles and POV changes, editing and so on really add to the entertainment value of the content. I'm sure COVID has hammered your business so I hope the effort you put into these videos makes people realise you'd put the same effort into a guided trip. Cheers Perry
G'day Perry,
Thanks very much mate for your feedback. A lot of work goes into filming my videos, thats for sure.
Yeah mate, Covid lock downs over the past two years has hit me hard with not being able to travel and make new videos.
I had to take on a farming job to get through.
See what this year brings as we go forward in another uncertain year ahead.
Thanks again mate.
Cheers Tim
Love your passion Batesy, second to none. You make everything seem like it’s amazing from the sandwich to the lookouts to the pie 👍
G'day Phil.
Thats wicked feedback mate.
I just love getting out and making these videos.
Thanks mate for that, i greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Batesy.
Something I recently learnt. You drop the egg into the fry pan and it breaks perfect, then just lift out the shell 👍
Gday Jon,
Ahh righto.
I’ve not seen that way of cooking an egg done mate.
Thanks a lot for your feedback and reply.
Cheers Tim.
Tim this is John. Try this one for breakfast. In the the fry pan cook the bacon, take it out, butter your bread , best of with rye for the flavour & fry your bread, even better if you still have the fat from the night before. Great for the cholesterol. Lol
G'day John,
No worries mate.
Sure sounds pretty good for breakfast.
Thanks mate for your feedback
I'll keep that one in mind.
Cheers Tim.
Another great video keep them coming
Thanks mate, i appreciate that.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Cheers Tim.
When someone doing something with a true love,Cheers Tim
Thank you.
I appreciate your reply.
Cheers Tim.
The views and the bird songs were amazing
Love your simplicity
Gday Michael,
Thanks mate.
It sure was an amazing place to camp for a few days.
Cheers Tim.
Bloody awesome!
Thanks mate. I appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Nice work Cobb. Great vid and a change up. Cheers Ash
Thanks Ash.
Cheers Tim.
Bloody hell mate I will have to give those avocado chips a go. I never thought of cooking one. Yeah there is no limit to campfire cooking that's all I did every night for year's Opal mining. I think you stopping at that sign bought the Storm on. Beautiful photography. Gees you allways seem to make me hungry with your cooking. Another fantastic video thanks for making them.
You know the early Gold and Opal Miners use to dig all day and then use their shovels to cook on at night, they didn't have much gear and were mostly on foot.
Cheers Bruce
G'day Bruce,
Yeah mate, get on the avo chips they are gold. Lol
That storm that rolled through was amazing to watch unfold. Yeah maybe stopping at that sign might have helped to bring that storm on for sure. Lol
The ol shovel on the campfire coals would work a treat as a hot plate for cooking up a feast on the camp fire.
Thanks heaps mate for your reply and feedback, i greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Tim.
Wow, spectacular. I have been going to the Vic High Country a few times and never been here. On my bucket list now, thanks Tim and would love to here of your top 10 views in the Vic High Country
G'day mate,
The High Country is an amazing place. I hope you can get there soon and check out the area.
I must get around to making a video on my top ten lookouts.
They are stunning view points.
Thanks mate for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Another ripper video Batesy.... Mate you're knowledge of the VHC is great mate always a relaxing watch during a work break.
Love the tip to ppl about the changes in weather up there. Always had to be prepared when we use to moto ride up there for a few days.
Keep up the great work cobba.
G'day mate,
Thanks heaps for your feedback.
The high country is a stunning place, but things can change very quickly as showed in the video.
That storm was amazing.
Cheers Tim.
Ripper videos mate you always leave me feeling hungry after watching your trip vids awesome job mate

The morning sunrises are amazing.
Cheers Tim.
I say it each time but that’s your best video to date you put a lot of effort and passion into your filming which makes us feel as if we are there great time lapse of the storm if you can’t get there go with Batesy on you tube thanks Tim

G'day David,

Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
Sights and sounds are truly epic, we are so bloody lucky to live in Northern Vic. Food was great Tim, never heard of avo fries before mate, heard of halloumi fries but never done either on the camp grill. Like you, I never use gas unless its a complete fire ban. Ill be sure to give this a go. Cheers Moose.
G'day Moose,
Yeah mate, it truely was a stunning location to base up for a few days. The sounds that come out of the bush are amazing and so peaceful.
The campfire is the best way to make any good meal, but as you say unless its a total fire ban day.
Thanks mate for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Well done with the billy Tim...your boy scouts training was not wasted👍...I look forward to every trip
G'day Stephen,
Yeah mate, Ol habits don't go away.
Scouting days were great times as a young lad.
Cheers Tim.
I stopped at Dimmick's lookout in Jan. 2021. I was assisting Parks Victoria and Bushwalking Victoria with realigning and clearing and tagging the foot track from Guy's hut down to the junction of Dry River and the Wonnangatta River. That is a tough and remote hike!.It was HOT and using a chainsaw all day was taxing.
Top stuff mate with the clearing work you were doing.
Amazing country right along the Howitt High Plains.
Thanks for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
Fantastic. You've inspired me to get off my arse and UA-cam and plan a trip in the next couple of weeks to the very spot. Might try get a look into Guys hut too while I'm there.
Gday mate.
That’s a Crackn spot.
You can easily check out Guys Hut, it’s only a bit further down the Howitt High Plains Rd from where you turn off into Dimmicks Lookout.
You have a great trip mate.
Thanks for your reply and feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Bryce's Gorge is spectacular.
Great video Tim, really enjoyed it. Impressive location with brilliant views. Will have to go and check it out soon. Keep up the great work.
G'day, Steve,
Yeah mate, it's a top location and well worth going up for a look at that stunning view.
Cheers Tim.
Gday Tim,
I've probably watch this one 3 or 4 times and I still think it is a rippa. Love the views and your cook ups. Can't say I would like to camp in that storm though.
I'm looking forward to some more cooking videos if you get around to it.
Thanks.
Paul.
G'day Paul,
Mate that was a wicked storm that rolled through. The fog ripping through the trees was amazing to see.
great spot with stunning views.
More bush cooking videos are in the pipeline mate.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Cheers Tim
G'day cobba
Nice video mate
Really enjoyed it would be so peaceful up there . True blu Aussie safe travels enjoy mate 👍
G'day Travis,
Thanks mate.
It was a top spot to kick back for a few days.
Thanks heaps for your reply.
Cheers Tim.
Love the high country in winter. At its best when it’s cold and raining. Just makes me want to go deer hunting watching this. Great looking bush
G'day mate,
Yeah its great being up top during a good storm.
Hope you can get out soon mate.
Cheers Tim.
Love these longer camping vids Tim! Very relaxing to watch. Love your endless positivity. Keep em coming
Thanks Thomas.
I greatly appreciate that mate.
I sure have a lot more of these coming.
Cheers Tim.
Nice video Tim, well done! Thanks for sharing it mate. I was up that way just a couple of weeks ago on my own, too bad I didn't know about the lookout. Well that's the reason for another trip shortly.
You are absolutely right Tim, when in the bush we should cook on the campfire! What's going on with all the superkitchen setups, induction cookers and coffee making machines? I love cooking on the fire no matter how long it takes, after all I go bush to relax.
See ya out there somewhere Tim
Cheers
G'day Max,
Yeah mate, head back up when you can and check out that view, its stunning.
Im hearing you mate about cooking on the campfire. Just love it.
But, it;s not for everyone i guess.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Fair chance i"ll see you in the bush some day. Lol
Cheers Tim.
Mate, what views, magnificent. I'm going to have to try your avocado chips mate they are defiantly different. Cheers for the vid.
Gday Herb,

Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Another great video Tim. I can't get enough of those High Country views especially the storm footage. A video of your favourite scenic look outs would be amazing.
Gday mate,
Yeah it’s wicked seeing a good storm roll in.
I must get round to filming those lookouts.
Would be a good video.
Thanks for your reply mate.
Cheers Tim.
Worked extra hard videoing and editing this one. It certainly paid off.
G'day mate,
Thanks heaps for that, i greatly appreciate your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
Love it…. Went up there last year and was a total whiteout, couldn’t see nothing, then went to the Pinnacle’s lookout and still nothing but cloud and rain, so looking forward to going back in better conditions 🍻🔥🇦🇺🏕
Gday mate,
I hope next time when you head back up, that you can get to see the amazing views
It will be so worth the trip back up.
Thanks a lot for your feedback
Cheers Tim
Awesome mate

But, i just love what i do.
Thanks mate for your feedback.
Cheers Tim.
I love being out in the vic high Country too. My last trip up howitt planes was a 83km round trips on a trail bike that i could only get 80km out of the tank of fuel. Lucky we camped at bindaree hut so it was down hill for the last few kays and rolled back into camp. Appreciate your hard work mate.👍👍
@@davebrightwell5765 yeah same here mate.
Just can’t get enough of the high country.
Thanks mate.
Cheers Tim.
