Camping in a Place I've Always Avoided 

Love your work Scotty!!! Always puts a smile on my face when I see your videos. I'm never one to comment on RU-vid videos (like most us millennials) but seeing negative comments fires me up. Keep doing you my friend and creating inspiring videos for free on the internet. It's a privilege to be able to watch your adventures 🙌🏾

Would love to see a pack rafting trip - sounds great! Hope mum and bubs are growing nicely.

Why the hell would anyone post a negative comment? Says waaay more about them mate. Excellent video. Keep up the great work!

If you’re looking for solace don’t forget the southern end of the blue mountains. Places like starlight’s trail, Nat tai wilderness, belloon pass and yerranderie to name a few. Have done plenty of theses areas myself without another soul to be seen. Less than 2 hours from yours as well. A lovely area encompassing plenty of hidden gems the blue mountains. Nice vid again 👍

What a fantastic view! I’d love to see you do that packrafting trip you described 👍. Great video as always!

What a spot to sit and enjoy a cold one and the gorgeous view!

Mate's used to Lilo down from Blackheath to Nepean in the early 90s.

You always eat so well on these adventures. Thank you for bringing us along!

Mate you're bungle bungle trip got me so inspired I'm planning to do it in 2026❤ keep up the great journeys mate 🎉

Great Vid Bud, enjoyed it immensely.

The Blues are simply stunning! Lived on Evans lookout Rd in Blackheath & the traffic on the weekends was horrendous. Never took it for granted though, every day I breathed in the beauty 😊

A great video as always Scotty 😊 The 3 waterfalls - 😍. And agree with the others. Ignore the negative comments. Nothing but miserable so-and-so’s who have nothing better to do with their time. Keeping doing what you do for the rest of us who love it!

There are No bad views in the outback... Amazing... 💚🤙🏼❤

what stunning views 😊thanks for sharing Scotty.

My dad used to live in Australia in the 60s. We now live in Canada. Ha always said "hooroo" when he would leave for work in the morning(70s.) This makes me think of him. Thank you for your efforts 😂.

Been watching your vids for a while now and realised I wasn't subbed but that has beed rectified. Keep up the good work, Scotty. It keeps me dreaming of the great outdoors

Great video mate, its nice to see my home through your creative lens. I understand your concern around the crowds though! Its certainly become a lot busier in the last 5 years.

So good, thank you!

Yhanks for yhe video Scotty, great job as always love your work. Can't wait for the next one buddy.

Welcome to the neighbourhood scotty! its nice to see my backyard on film, especially the way you film and edit. on ya!

Well done Scotty, I don’t know what or who I love more. The scenery or you. You’re roughing it but in a totally classy way. You have my full respect!!! You should be on Australian Survivor. You’ll go far in that game.

Thanks once again for sharing, I love the blue mountains! Totally understand you changing your footwear, my favourite shoes were gortex Salomons they were light, waterproof and super comfy. Looking forward to your next video 😊😊😊

Can find uncrowned spots in the blue mountains still a beautiful place. All ways great to watch Scotty walkabout

I love your videos!! Those views were amaaaazing! ❤

spectacular shots as usual Scotty. The sunset was magical

Brilliant, you are truly inspiring.

I just finished the Jatbula trail in a pair of Hoka speedgoats. It was my first time wearing trail runners on a multi day hike (I used to only wear them for day hikes with a small pack). I really liked them, no issues with my ankles and I found them quite grippy on uneven surfaces. My boots are also scarpa and forested and I wanted something more breathable and lightweight for tropical top-end climate.

I was given a canyoning experience as a birthday present some years ago. It was amazing, exhilarating and exhausting. Definitely go with an experienced team!

150k, wow congrats! Love your adventures. Have a good one

Another great video! Love the waterfalls!

Those 3 x waterfalls at sunset !! Gold Scotty 🙏🙏

Love it Scotty!

Excellent, thanks Scotty 😊

Obviously no one agrees with @ausloadventures These are the companies who support Scotty to do what he does and share with us! And he properly tests and reviews some great products which helps us make choices in what gear to buy or not buy. Cheers Scotty from the rest of us! 🍻

Same thing happened to me when I switched from boots to Hokas. You’ll adjust your walking to the shoe. And they’re less catchy as they wear down. Expect them to degrade fast with off trail walking. They drain so fast they’re basically water shoes. Hokas are slippery on wet sandstone.

Scotty. You deserve an easy trek/ easy travel after your last epic. The views, videography and your commentry were great.

Loved it happy trails 😊

Sensacional amigo . Um lugar com visão privilegiada e surreal . Parabéns pela vivência

Stunning location Scotty your winter looks warmer than our summer in England 😂😂 atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

Hi Scotty what a Gorgeous Awesome Beautiful Scenery 😊

Great video , really nice views and relaxing nature feeling🎉

Nice vid Scotty .....😊

It's such a cool place Thanks for sharing the video🤗🤗🤗

Great video! Off grid meals look great.

I found your channel a month ago! Let me tell you, you’re making it hard for me to not sit still and just enjoy the US hikes. I will never be a rich man now. These Australia hikes are just gorgeous! Amazing work!

Good stuff, Scotty. Top vid as always, even if others were around. Would highly recommend getting into canyoning; once you start, you'll be hooked. Difficult to film though.

Such a magic spot Scotty!

Check out Harmen Hoek hiking trip in the Blueys Scotty. The guy is a machine and he only seems to hike in trail runners. His vid on the Dolomites is fantastic.

great stuff thanks

Thanks mate 👍🏻

I live in Canada. Your country has pretty spectacular views as well. Scotty, despite the popularity of the Blue Mountains, if there were no tourists visiting, that area would soon be developed for industry, farming, mining, or other government lucrative ventures. It's the world we live in. Use it, or lose it. At least the landscape remains mostly pristine (except for the designated trails and established campsites.).Consider what is happening in the Amazon, or in Europe, Africa, Asia...

Great video. What a scenic place! It's Independence Day here in the States. The day we celebrate our freedom from the Brits. We love them now and they love us. Funny how time changes things. Take care

Love the Blueys. Yep still plenty of solitude if you know where to go 😊

Love my solitude while trekking and camping too... And, lucky you we able to battle through another bitter NSW winter... t-shirt and shorts one minute, then gale force winds and michelin man parka, the next... lol

Be a Yowie in there somewhere.

Loved it mate. Your filming is always top notch and those waterfalls looked beautiful. I know what you mean about the boots .. I got the same scarpas as you and I just got back from the snow and they were drenched for most of the trip. I don't know if I can pull off the trail runners like you though 😆

4:23 literally the mesas in north America just with forests, absolutely amazing

Great video , I used to used Hoka shoes for trail running but I had a lot of ankle rolls with them once I got a set of more normal trail runners I never done ankle again

Hi Scotty. I was in the gorgeous Blue mountains in winter 2 years ago; I well remember, standing on those cliff tops was as windy as all get out. BTW what you were worried about happening, rolling your ankle, is exactly what I did the first time I wore my brand new pair of hiking shoes, back in March. All due to the ultra-thick cushioned sole which i wasn't used to. I couldn't feel that my weight was too far over on a stone, and I stumbled. Nothing broken, but it took me 10 weeks before my ankle was right again, I lost so much walking time and fitness :( I know why it happened and I will be much more aware the next time I try out new footwear. and Yes, please do go back to the Blue Mountains! it's a huge place, and the tourists tend to not venture that far in.

Sure hope u don’t sleep walk Scotty !! Stunning area ..

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Wonderful camping video 🌷🌷

I visited the Blue Mountains last year as a tourist. Would love to have seen the sunrise and sunset. Need to go back one day a lot to see. Thanks for sharing the adventure.

Good video mate. Might have to come up to QLD, doesn’t get quite as cold up here.

Landscape photographers paradise ❤

Boa noite Scottt ! Sou do Brasil, e curto muito a vibe dos seus vídeos. Você é privilegiado com as belas paisagens do seu país. Um grande Abraço...

... WOW !! What a beautiful sunset at 11:00+ .. Beautiful location all around .. I do hear you though ,, I generally don't go where the masses will be ,, being alone is what the mind and body needs to clear and refresh ...

Beautiful spot but the first thing I thought was, looks like a great place for SNAKES! I had a friend from OZ who told me there were so many poisonous snakes around where she lived as a child she learned to "crack a snake" where you pick it up by the tail and snap it like a whip to kill it. This blew my mind but to her it was no big deal. Love your escapades, thank you.

When I went on the Furber steps I missed my step and fell down the stairs for like 5 seconds and then I caught my self and then I……..LIVED

Stunning location mate and ripper views. I've gone from low cut joggers to hi cut boots for hikes after rolling my ankle and tearing 2 ligaments. Your ones look good but that ankle support now has become a big thing for me. 2km into a solo hike and I had to walk my way back out on a busted ankle, not fun.

one of the nicest views i have ever seen.

Very nice my friend😎

When you compare the quality of your vids to what is out there, I am astounded you don’t have 1m + subs. That said, I reckon you’ve got 150k hardcore fans versus say 1m fair weather fans . Great video!

Great video mate. I still boil my water at home out of the tap now living in town. I was in the bush but the water is not good in town

Great video Scotty. I love the Blue Mountains. Happy with the Sea to Summit gear? It looks the goods. How does it compare to the Alton equipment?

Wow! We have a mountain range called the Blue Ridge Mountains in the US. Your country is beautiful.

good on you thank you

Can't beat the classic volleys.

That shot at 11:13 with the waterfalls is an absolute cracker!

Finally got you to the Blue Mountains mate!!! Next time you’re near Pulpit Rock, drop in and say hi.

Try the ultras, love mine for hiking :)

Hi- great vid! Sorry- quick question. The Australian company that makes the tarps you often use? I haven’t caught the name. Great stuff mate.

haha nice to see you finally got to my stomping ground . I use to guide the rock-climbing canyons abseiling and wilderness camping trips in the mtns in my 20s and 30s . there is no place ;ike the blue mtns Toto . you shouldn't have any trouble finding people to show you the ropes . If you get stuck slip me an email I know heaps of people in the industry that would be glad to help support you and your chanel and show you the ropes . The blue mtns , you just touched the surface . You will be back !

So good there was only there a few weeks ago if you’re Eva keen to do a few canyons could show you some great unpopulated spots

That massive heel is just leverage to roll your ankle. Have a look at zero drop ( no heel) and wide toe box boots. Vivo barefoot work for me :) absolutely love your vids mate, been with you from the early days.

Scotty thank you yet again - taking me on another adventure 👍 Beautiful country. Question : the boil in water packet meals , they always look cold or warm heated in a water pan as you do - is that the case? Clearly pre-cooked but can you poor them directly into a fry- pan for direct heat ?

Hey Scotty I was wondering how much your gas stove holds and how often you find you have to refill it?

Ignore the miserable haters - I'm glad you've got backing to keep going and am genuinely interested in what kit you use or would recommend. #lovesandstone

I was born and raised up the mountains once the highway was upgraded Sydney visitors never left seeing that living in the mountains and commuting to work in syd is possible...so they sell there homes bring up there money buying up our homes bringing in the old problem with supply and demand so locals doing local jobs generally in hospitality and tourism that doesn't pay well loose there homes can't afford the rent or housing prices people that are born and bred being forced out by the cancer that has spread from Sydney....I miss my home....ex syd residents have destroyed the old feeling of a good local community...making it there own, money talks the local voices are shut down.

I would recommend a electric lighter because they are wind resistant, water resistant and rechargeable, with a torch built in, all from bcf for 25 bucks, I love mine

WOW ! 😮👍😎

Morton National Park next?

Phwoar, what a video and what a spot!! That sunset was bloody killer!! We did a couple of nights in Blackheath as a family trip over Xmas, and I fell in love with the area. Can't wait to get back down!!

Scotty? My birthplace, MEGALONG. Boy I must be back the front. I have never filtered water out in the bush but now I'm a townie i got all the filtration in the world to filter out those nasty chemicals they put in.

Hi Scotty, I've always wanted to raft the Grose river as well, however it seems from google earth there is likely some wild elevation drops that might prove dangerous.

Which tent do you prefer S2S or Durston?

💚

Stop by VIC, we have nice spots too ;-)

Want to come here to camp as it’s clear other people do but since it’s not a campground I wasn’t sure what the rules were. Is it allowed?

Everytime I see a video like this I'm surprised how much it looks like South Africa this looks just like the flora and ground type of my home town

Whens your lil Wanderering Walkabout due to arrive Scotty?
