- Join me for two nights wild camping beside a beautiful Australian River. This was one of the nicest camps I've had in a long time. I cook up some good tucker on the fire and just enjoy this beautiful location. Hope you all enjoy the vid!

Hey folks, I hope you enjoy the vid. Keen to hear your thoughts about the lightweight swag. I can't wait to show you guys! Also, I would just like to say that I've had a few people ask me recently how they could support the channel, so I've decided to create a Patreon. If you enjoy my vids and find value in them, it would be great if you would consider supporting me. Thanks legends and I hope you're all well! www.patreon.com/scottysgonewalkabouts
Definitely keen on the lightweight swag!!!
Really interested in your Lightweight Swag too! Good luck with it, go well mate!
Nice vid. Now you have a true swagmans saw the best piece of equipment you have. Bin the silky only good for cutting butter. Keep up the good work see you out there soon.
Swag sounds sick!
Lightweight swag sounds good. How does it differ from a lightweight bivy though?
Hey, Scotty, my name is Tony Yardley. I live in Alabama. I used to do a fair amount of camping when I was younger as I live near the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Now I’m 67 and disabled and don’t get around so good. One of my dreams was to visit Australia but now it will never happen . Thank you for giving me a real taste of the Australian countryside. I look forward to your videos.
Hey Fred,
Real sorry to hear about the health issues, but super glad you had the pleasure of Alabama and all those golden years of camping, 99% of other people could only dream of!
I've always dreamt of camping out that way for a week or more myself, one day after I fix a few health issues I'm facing myself!
All the best pal
At least you can be sure you didn't waste your younger years.
Too many critters in Australia.
Being disable doesnt mean it stop here. At least you have been there and done that with your camping experiences in Alabama. Its your knowledge that will never stop and to continue by sharing with us all newbies. Loves Hayliee (Brisbane, Queensland) Australia.
Sweet home alabama
Scotty releases a video and we all rush here to watch :)
Amen to that!
Making this swag shows true character mate. If the end product is something you would use with confidence while camping, then fellow Bushmen would think the same. 👍
im not sure how this gentleman could get a thumbs down ...
but show kindness to dislike and make this world a better place !!!
awsome video just a absolute treat to watch this mans videos and the spectacular views Australia has to offer ... thank you from 🇨🇦
Finally a swag that will be designed for hiking and lightweight camping, not to be lugged around in a 4wd. Swags have moved so far from the traditional bedroll to accomodate thicker mattresses and more luxurious features that they have become completely impractical. I was searching for a decent quality lightweight swag for so long and the best I could come up with was the Darche Urban Nomad 700. Great idea Scotty and I think that I would definitely be interested in purchasing one in the future if you ever decide to manufacture it, it would be fantastic to have a swag you could take hiking. Keep it up and I love the channel 👍
W O W ! You've outdone yourself with the scenery on this trip Scotty. What a magical place. I'm intrigued by your compact swag idea too. I'll look forward to seeing how that progresses. Thanks for yet another awesome video. 😀
P.S. just joined the patreon thingy and left a comment. Keep up the good work Scotty. 😀
She sure is a beautiful spot mate, you can't beat getting out doors and appreciating our glorious Australian bush
Great spot, just subscribed, seen a few clips and like what i have seen. I agree with what you say about swaggs today, their more like bloody heavy tents, as soon as you need a pole its a tent, can't wait to see you modern version of a swagg. Keep up the good work.
Tim....
Using real hot Aussie long lasting burning firewood. The Snowy Mountains has more skiable snow than Switzerland. Beautiful refreshing unpolluted water. God bless wilderness people.
Geat idea on the Swag Scotty. I'd definitely buy one. All other swags are way too big and ive looked for a portable one for ages. Hope it all works out
Not sure what the difference is with this L:ight Weight Swag and a sleeping bag and bivy would be...
Last time I was so early corona was just a beer.
Would love to see a vid on a full breakdown of your swag. Show us all the bells and whistles.
Mi Goreng noodles. The stable food of Uni students everywhere.
Love the vid. Magic spot. Take care brother.
I'd grab a swag, never understood why they are so heavy.
canvas + the foam betting inside.
honestly though in my opinion modern day swags are so much greater then a tent in terms of comfort. the price you pay is its big af and a bit heavy ,but i can look past that.
They are good for 4wd but a bit heavy for backpacking.
Even single swags are way too bulky for carrying on backpack but great out the back of a 4wd which is what they are designed for
I'm watching from Shinjuku (Tokyo), the centre of a 38 million people metropolis. I'm returning home to Australia in September and seeing this has me so hyped to come back. I've loved hiking and camping all over the Japan, with all its conveniences like high speed trains direct to/from trail heads, but I can't wait to come home and just sit by a creek and listen to the kookaburras.
Great footage of the Rakali in it's natural habitat. It's great that there are still area's where nature is doing well.
A lightweight swag? Definitely! We have two 'swags' that are big and bulky and that's all you can find. I'm not an experienced camper but when I've come across an old fire at a camp spot that still has the cold 'charcoal' left from a previous fire I am grateful because it doesn't take long for these to get going and add a wee bit of fuel to a fire. But yeah I get what you are doing and applaud the care you take of our beautiful country!
There is something special about being in the aussie bush.
Standing close to a fire, with your favorite drink and appreciating the awesome beauty of mother nature, plus enjoying a fabulous meal!
Mate im here in Melbourne during another lockdown and really cant wait to venture out into the bush again.
I am really enjoying the content you are producing. Awesome work, oh and that swag looks to be a winner.......
I live in Western Australia. Just came back from a three day camping trip in the bush. No loos, no power, no phones, just a river, fire and the bush. Was brilliant! Lamb shanks, beef goulash, left overs for dinners. Ah! You can’t beat it!
The light swag is a great idea. The motorcycle enthusiastic's would be a good market. especially here in Australia.
Id love a good light weight swag, doing Bushcraft in Florida is pretty miserable in the heat of summer, so im kinda stuck with my hammock(which I love) but id really like to have an alternative thats not super heavy!!! Cant wait to see what you've come up with Scotty!!!! Good luck!!!
Who else here hits the like button before watching? Epic vid as always mate! Thanks for taking us along. Keep em coming Scotty. Cheers!
If there was a heaven, it would look like this. My love the bush is endless and it’s because of places like this. Thank you Scotty
Yes yes yes yes I have been looking for a light weight swag for ever for camping and hiking! Please make this and release into the market! Id buy one in a heart beat!
Loves your Indomie Mi Goreng! I always pack those about 5 packs whenever i do my motorcycle camping. Easy to prep with or without extra ingredients to go with. You could never go wrong with Indomie Mi Goreng, its either the noodles are soggy or still crunchy hard. Non fancy food item for me.
For a water filter just use a %100 cotton bandana or towel, and run the water through it to remove corse material, and then just boil the water for several minutes and done. That way you dont have to spend money and waste time with filters. Just a suggestion. Great video once again, cheers scotty! 👍
I personally think that the lightweight swag is a great idea. I suppose its success will come down to how many people actually go hiking/camping or bushcrafting over here.
It seems to be much more popular in the US or even the UK where we seem to go more for 4wd type camping.
Maybe I just don't see it as much.
I do know buying quality lightweight gear, that you see them use overseas, here takes a lot of hunting and is very expensive.
Plenty of shops with the same brand name crap but once you try and get something a bit out of the ordinary you can struggle I have found.
All the best with it mate I hope it works out for you and you have had enough experience to know what is desirable.
Love how peaceful and calming your videos are, they are very helpful during these stressful times in the world
G'day Scotty, great video and great idea on the swag. Having owned a couple of swags myself I'd definitely like to see a more lightweight and traditional swagman type swag on the market than what is currently available . Definitely worth looking into getting it manufactured. I reckon it would be a hit. Cheers 👊
Fletch 60 years ago at age 15 I hitch-hiked around Australia twice carrying my grandfather’s swag. It was a home-made tube of canvas with a sewn-in flanelette sheet. All my gear was rolled up in it and I carried it with a leather belt over my shoulder. Worked really well. Years later for pack-horse trips I bought a horse-riders swag made from oiled japara, very lightweight with a light foam mattress. Goes over the saddle easily and also fits into my narrow, tall rock-climbers rucksack.
Great camera work
Background music choices were excellent
I'm really digging that folding saw
And I don't know what a swag is (yet), but I think I'm going to need one
If your swag was actually waterproof (unlike most others despite their claims) AND portable I might even blow you a kiss - would definitely buy especially as you are partnering with Alton - great stuff - and another great video :)
Loving your vids so much at the moment as we are back in lockdown here in Melbourne so no hiking/camping 😢
Would love to see the design of your swag. Im interested because I agree, swags these days are impracticable and to big and heavy. Would love to see it and test it out. Or even buy one :)
Great seeing the water rat.....lightweight swag is a great idea, problem I have is 'lightweight' gear just tends to be unitask, so would be great if it could be easilly transformed to use as a tarp and even a hammock (simple but adaptable)....might be wishing for too much, cant wait to see.
Amazing video! The effort you put into making this is insane, as a videographer myself - huge respect. Really relaxing style and feel like I’m in the bush with you. Been getting addicted myself this year to solo camping - going this weekend in a forecasted thunderstorm. Wish me luck! Greetings from Canada
sawyer did that to me too , just punch a hole in the bottom of the bag with a hole punch and hang it on a piece of string , dont have to squeeze the bag again , gravity feed, works well, also have that saw as well , be carefull of the c clip which holds the blade each end the one hear the handle sometimes pops out when you fold it i recommend getting another one as a spare to leave it in your pack you can change the blade to hardwood sandvik blade from the hardware store cuts even better .. have it good Bro....
Perfect camp site. The sound of the stream and crackling of the fire. So peaceful.
Wow I grew up in the country in Tasmania and we went camping alot and fishing that scenery is awesome my kind of life
Great idea on the swag! The Aussie culture of a massive swag on top of the 'cruiser is so outdated. The new lightweight swag would be awesome. Hard to pass up a nice 75mm HD foam mattress when car camping though.
Well done Scotty, absolutely the best camp spot ever. I didn’t want the video to end. Love the swag idea, sure would be handy out on the kayak.
Scotty i wish you can share the locations and area of the places you’ve been. That would be awesome and its just blinding not to know where you enjoy these spots. Unless its illegal, well, just enjoy it and dont get caught!
Hey I've been looking at 1 person hiking tents, bivy bags, tarps and all kinds of ultralight shelter systems, I'm very keen to see
what you have come up with.
Trevor Morgan Oz trail Nomad 1 person hiking tent... quite basic but light. Had mine for over a dozen trips and hasn’t missed a beat 👌
Its not free standing though. Ive been to a few places where the ground is rock hard and no way ti drive a tent peg in without pre drilling the ground first haha. Im kind of leaning towards the Marmot Tungsten 1 person tent.
Depends on price range mate. I work in the outdoor industry and have a Hilleberg Unna that's been used 150 nights in the past two years, still looks brand new. It's a hefty cost but easily worth it if you want a tent that'll last you a decade or more. If you're 2m tall(like me) or near it itll be a bit of a squeeze, but nothing too bad.
Darche Urban Stealth LT1 is the cheapest I have found
Have you thought about pitching this to like tourism Australia mate? These videos have insane potential. You never see the Australian bush as beautifully showcased as these do. Great editing job too mate, and wonderful that you acknowledge and inform about local aboriginal people.
Ahhh the serenity! Mate, what an awesome setting. Also that music is perfect for that intro. Going to look into Pat Devlin and throw him some love as well for sure.
Mate, forget the music the sound of the bush is infinitely better.
Agree, one of the reasons I have enjoyed Scotty's videos was that he didn't play music over the sounds of nature.
Agreed. The music even makes me want to stop watching. It doesn't feel authentic anymore. Love to hear the sounds of nature.
I must strongly agree, Scotty if the reason you go to the bush is for nature can't you see we want that also. No more music please.
The chosen music in this Episode was Australian, I thought I could hear Boy and Bear? My favourite outside of the bush sounds is the intro didgeridoo. Im sure my fellow viewers can understand though - this is SCOTTY’s creativity, and appreciate all the effort involved.
Loved the music, if you're looking to hear the sounds of nature, go listen yourself. It is way better in person ;)
Would absaloutly be interested in that swag, it would be perfect for those week long walking treks!
Hey scotty. Loved the video. The landscape was totally different and beautiful from past videos. Landscape green and snaky stream setting looked so not so “expected” from australian bush. Thank you.
Interested in hearing more about your custom swag , because I just recently purchased a kings kwiky hiking swag , still rather large for hiking really ,but it’s doable if the hike isn’t too far . Having a swag that’s lightweight would be excellent, as long as it’s rain proof . Keen too see it Cobber . Great vid as always . Thumbs up 👍.
I added a G&T to my camp beverage last weekend. Refreshing. Paria Plateau, Arizona.
You capture the the aussie bush better than anyone else ive ever come across. Thanks for the videos.
If the swag is like a bivy good luck, plenty on the market, I use a outdoor research alpine bivy with a 20mm foam pad in it just like a swag when I’m 4WD camping and a thermorest sleep pad when I’m packing. Good videos though
And don't stress about the cracked seam on the Sawyer, that water is better than what comes out of the taps here! Haha
Depending on the design mate, it might be something I'd be interested in for some of my trips, hard to say without seeing it ;)
Awesome to see the Rakali out and about too! @22:37
Lightweight swag is definitely a great idea!
Very nice photography, excellent music, a real good adventure. Thanks for the video...
The forest beckons us, fills our thoughts. You can't stay at home anymore! You literally rip your jacket and backpack off the rack. You go on a journey where there are no people, and nature is especially beautiful. The smell of last year's wet needles and leaves is carried by warm air, which permeates you with a strong stream. You cannot get enough of it. The forest accepts us as we are. We are his guests, not his hosts. And we are grateful to him. How can it be boring for someone in this world to look at a drawing of veins on a green leaf for several hours?
Superb Scott. I reckon you did find a top rate space to pitch the tarp. The sound was divine - good setup to. I was enjoying your food there - kind of made me hungry. Well, your swag project sounds exciting. I wish you all the best with it. Now then what was that weird creature? Wild life all around. Very enjoyable. Mark
ahh just what i need while i sit as dinner cooks! love your videos scotty i never knew oz had such beautiful forests! always thought it was just red sand and rock haha!cheers for sharing your adventures bro!
Your video's are on another level.
You elevate me, when I'm down and I need it the most.
Thank you.
The standard sawyer filters fit on Smart water bottles, as well as some other types of bottles. Might be helpful in the future.
Thanks again Scotty. Been getting ready in a haste to get back out bush, but thankfully your vid has done the job again and reminded me to slow down and enjoy what Aussie nature has to offer. And not look this camping trip as a project, but as an awesome escape from the NOW. Still in our backyard, yet seemingly a million miles away. Thanks mate as always. Ya bloody legend.
Aussie bush at it's best, great summer camp with lots of shade and nice creek
Your dinner looked amazing. It’s funny how food tastes much better outdoors. The music is so relaxing too. Thanks for posting again. Safe travels.
designing a light weight swag is definitely something to encourage. With your knowledge and experience and testing by a range of other outdoors types you will produce a useful item.
Mate, definitely interested in the swag idea. I've tried tents, bivys and now a hammock setup but would love a swag if I could realistically carry it in my pack or on the bike. Can't wait to see it! The Alton goods brand is also one I would be happy to support with so far quality items.
Mate , couldn’t agree more
the swag is a great idea scotty 100% support the idea you should get a kick starter going to help get it off the ground and able to get some user feedback. congratulations
On the subject of the swag - I'm keen to see what yours looks like and the specs - I've actually got a lightweight swag (found at a campsite) that Kathmandu sells in Aus. It's the Mono v2, 1.7kg and 16x36cm (doesn't have a mattress). Rrp $250, but on sale a lot at $150. Just as a point of comparison.
You're a dead set legend mate. Hope your modern Aussie swag takes off, i'll definitely jump on the band wagon. So hard to find that perfect lightweight and durable roll-out shelter!
Hi Scotty,
Love the idea of A light weight swag. My son and I go hiking and camp at bush camps for the night and my son always wants to take the swag but I’m concerned about the Weight and how uncomfortable he would be carrying it so I always talk him out of taking the swag. He would definitely put one on his Christmas list.
Awesome mate, its so nice along that river and you got to see a water rat as well 👍👍.
Mate, what a fantastic video showcasing some incredible Aussie bushland! I love what you've put together here and you've definitely earned yourself another sub!
Lite weight swag excellent idea and there would definitely be a market for these. I like the fold away saw too.
Two things: great fire making skills! Also nice editing. You've got some good camera angles, cuts and music.
Oh, and lastly, thanks, because I haven't been camping this season, and appreciate the chill.
Yaas lightweight swag sounds good.
Our family have been looking for one thats light weight cant wait to see what you have created 👍👍
Great vid! Had to laugh when I saw that G&T soaking into you 😁 I know that feeling well.
Swag is a great idea, sounds like the versatility will be its main selling point, very keen to see what it looks like.
Beer by a campfire, followed by a cracking steak and spud (you can keep the green muck), and the sound of the creek in the background, that would have me sleeping like a baby!!
Nice spot Scotty, keep the vids coming, like the idea of a good lightweight swag for packing and hiking, yep swags these days need a ute to lug around, totally lost the purpose and practicality of what they were intended for ! Same as nothing beats a good ol oilskin
First time viewer Scotty. Pretty keen scrub and a sweet creek near the Blue mountains.
About time I got some homegrown bushcraft feed from Utube.
Beautiful 👍🍍.Queensland
Found this video as it was suggested by YT. I have a good friend who lives in NSW and was over here last year to do the PCT but had to go back because of that damn virus. Yup, those Sawyer bags suck I never use them and have about 6 of them in a box. I use the CNOC bag and, if you have them, Smart Water bottle work great as well. Beautiful country and great vid! Cheers!
Hey Scotty, the thing about those water filters is they screw right on to a smart water bottle wich is much more durable. So you can carry two plastic water bottles, one is just to put clean water into and one to get the unfiltered water in, then use the bag for backup. Cheers Mate! Good to see you out again.
There are those places tucked away in this world of unique beauty that are a gift to mind body and soul. Georgous camera work. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Cheers Mate 🍻😎
Love your work cobber, keep them coming, looks to be best way to keep body a d mind together, happy hunting!
Mate that was unreal! What an incredible place. That's disappointing that the Sawyer bottle failed. I'm pretty sure the screw cap on the filter fits the pump bottle. If you are looking for a water bladder I use the Geigerrig Hydration Engine, It is bomb proof and designed really well. I have an inline filter on mine so I can fill up to 3L in a second from a creek and drink it right away. Not as compact as the sawyer ( I usually take both) but good to have. THE SWAG!!!! Can't wait to see it. You have a customer here!
Come across this randomly....watched....subscribed. Great video! Also would love to hear more about your swag.
Great video mate,the beauty of Australia you captured it in all it's glory. Ya bloody good at building a fire to Scotty and not half bad at pimping up a packet of noodles. The light swag sounds like a goer to me,looking forward to the great reveal in a future video. Todaloo till next time.
Such a lovely & calming site you have chosen, running water sounds in the background & bird song. like your tent plenty of room for 1 person. Travel safely
Keen as mustard to see this swag Scotty, looking forward to the big reveal. Is it like a Bivvy? Guess I’ll have to wait and see. 👍🏼👍🏼 looked like a great weekend mate. Love your vids!
What an awesome trip. Good to see the light weight swag. Great if you’ve got a bit of hiking in front of you. You’re certainly living the life mate 😃
Props mate, upped your game in a big way. Love your work
good luck with the swag. I'm constantly surprised by the weights of swags/bivvy's whenever I look around so it'll be great to see something a bit more useful for carrying on foot
Oh man, great work on the can design. And great spot for sure! Also definitely recommend the CNOC.
Wow amazing camping, absolutely I like your video.☺
Man........ I really need to see the blue mountains off grid...... cheers bud nice work
Hi from Seymour , Indiana USA . Absolutely gorgeous place to be able to experience ! I don't know anything about the swag but I wish you all the best in your endeavors. Take care and stay safe !!
Lovely footage with splendid primordial vistas and resources - Many thanks for producing and kindly sharing the moments Scott. Be well - Be happy & Best wishes ! 🙏
G'day Scotty, thanks for another video, really keen to check out your swag, when it comes to filters the Grayl Geopress can't be beaten (in my opinion) and if the water source has a lot of particular matter in it just pre- filter with cotton material and that will to prolong the life of the filter. When it comes to char-cloth instead of using patches try rolling the material up like a sausage cut it to the width of your tin and then char it, works well, the rolled up ends give you more surface area to catch a spark, give it a go and see what you think.
Looking forward to the next instalment take care and travel safe, cheers 👍🏻🍻🇦🇺
Rippa of a idea mate can't wait to see the design and how you test your own product will be awesome I'm already sold and waiting for preorder hahaha
Love the idea of the swag mate. Waiting in anticipation 👍
I wonder if there’s an gold in the river? Amazing location Scotty, thank you for taking us along on your adventure.
Love the idea of a swag but they really are a Ute thing cause they weigh a tonne! A lightweight version would be awesome.
Great that you are back with consistent videos. Missed you and the Bushcraft Telly line!
