I don't watch the channel to watch you walking. I watch the channel to listen to you. To admire the beauty of the bush and to help my own mental health. You and Scotty have helped a lot of people with your videos. Don't pay any attention to idiot trolls.

Ah dear Mattsy (aka the Summit Marker) you’ll always be my favourite bush philosopher. I honestly don’t know any other RU-vidrs that have the kind of humanity and sensitivity that I witness in you and your vids. Gives me hope! Makes me happy to be an audience in the Silly-verse. :)

Mattsy, you're such an authentic bloke, and that's why so many of us follow your channel. Your banter, your sense of humour, your philosophical interludes, and your real moments about stuff like mental health; they all add to your videos. Keep being you brother. As a another bloke who's had his own battles of the mental health variety, it's always great to see someone talk about and normalise it. Oh, and top notch vid as usual ya bloody legend. Cheers! P.S. - you ARE the Summit Marker. P.P.S. - that quiet moment at the summit hit me right in the feels.

As many others here have said - I'm here because of who you are as a human being in all your layered, complex, amusing and very authentic and open-hearted glory. Bah! to the trolls. Also have my hoodie - it's great quality and I love it! Well done to Scotty on a gorgeous design. This is another great video Mattsy - walking, exploring, philosophy, meeting others on the trail to admire and learn from, all in a beautiful and rugged alpine region. And finally ... can't decide on the pink or white. They both fill me with a little joy actually. Soft fluffy sweet pillows of sugary goodness toasted on a campfire under a star laden sky is always going to be a good thing.

The world is starting to understand mental health. Keep on being you, helping those who need it and educating those who don’t know they need it. I started watching this genre 15 years ago and got hooked on guys like Joe Robinet who also gets “it”. That sent me on a search for Aussie Bushcraft which led to Scotty and then you. Thankyou, go easy.

I agree with you 100% about being away from foot pads, tracks etc. I grew up wondering the bush as a kid and there's nothing more boring than following established tracks. To me , walking is a way of getting to a place to do something (fishing etc). I've never completely understood why people will walk through an area. If you walk from one place to another , your passing through. Taking time to have a fish or collect what mother nature provides is important for connection to land. 'Take only what you need and not what you want' .

Loved it as always mate. Great videos and amazing places. As for the Black Dog, Many of us fight it, myself included and that is why we head out into the bush camping, hiking, 4wding, fishing or what ever it might be. As for people talking about it, I feel it needs to be spoken about because it reminds us we are not alone and that in it's self helps us get through it. I feel you never cure it, you learn to fight it, to cope with it but it only takes something small for it to return like as you said being stuck inside for some reason. Your videos help me and others keep on top of our own black dog and that is partly why I do my videos too, to help me and to help others. Yanma Budyari Muragu Mittigar (Walk A Good Path Friend).

It's so sad there are people who put no effort into watching your videos who feel the need to criticise something that takes days for you to film, and just as many, if not more, to edit. They're your videos, so express whatever you want to express! I've personally had a lot of stress over the last few years, and just the last couple of months it's been catching up with me. I think part of the reason is I haven't been out myself exploring nature and taking my photos. I really appreciate following along with you to places I'll likely never get to myself, and one of the things I like the most is the authenticity of your journey. You talking about your reason for making videos has helped to remind me of what got me started making videos myself...a place I'll be getting back to. Thanks for the inspiration, and thanks for sharing the realities of life - it's never going to be all sunshine and lollipops, but time appreciating the beauty of nature, and time making real connections with people, is what makes all the difference. Cheers! 🙏

So many people are concerned about looking a certain way, dont blame em its the way the world has become now. But you show up as you every time, all quirks, streams of thoughts, struggles, hilarity and kindness. Shameless vlnerability and authenticity is hard to find online these days. It pays off.

39:20 When the stream is like that, the trout are often under the edges of the bank. You have to think about it like stalking a land animal. They get in streams where you would think no fish would be. Look around the area for beetles, grass hoppers etc. bait. Or carry a few flies. U need to crawl up to the edge (hands n knees) so the fish don't see you. Then (if you don't have a rod just tie about four feet of line to the end of a stick) you drop the bait over the water and keep it either on the surface or dabbing it from about 12 inches above the surface. If there's a trout in there it will hit it hard and often jump clear of the water, taking the bait in mid air .Ive caught some huge trout out of those tiny rills in the high country. Once they see you or are spooked, move on. Always fish (move up stream). There's so much food out there around you, if you know what to look for.

Another great video Mattsy!! You have an ability to get people thinking more deeply about there lives which is a gift. Just reading some of the other comments from people that get so much from your videos warms my heart. Great work buddy!

You know how to pick the absolute perfect background music in a perfect moment of your video. That is something !!

Great video Mattsy and look forward to each new episode. Nature is the perfect antidote for mental health. I'm getting out into nature for ptsd and made a couple of very amateur videos out in nature doing therapy. It does help with stress and makes me ponder are we actually meant to exist all the time in a total man made world. Will have to try the offgrid wagyu bolognaise :)
