Going Solo Camping Silent - [ Only Sounds From The Bush ] 

One thing about you Batesy, your someone that’s keeps giving. I don’t comment on every vid, but the new vids roll in at the right time when I need them. We all see the effort that goes into these videos and it is very much appreciated. Stay safe digger and keep ‘em commin.

All the comments on safety. Seriously peps. I saw self proclaimed “Mr4WD” lol (Pat Callinan) put on every possible type of safety gear in bright orange and then cut a 3 inch log. Looked a total tosser. Pants protect from cutting a major artery in your thigh and dying instantly. Other safety equipment is optional. Timbo is a real man and knows how to handle a chain saw.

The sound of bird chatter. The wind whistle through the leaves of the gums. The rain hitting the earth. The thunder cracking. The billy boiling on the fire. It’s about being bush. It’s the meaning of camping. Fantastic Timbo mate.

Great to see someone who still carries a real saw👍

tim thanks for bringing bush to our living room. well done mate.

Loved it. You know , one day you'll be suprised and we'll be suprised when you catch a fish. Can't wait for that. Very serene, thanks for sharing Tim.

Tim, I must've watched this video 4 or 5 times now because I just love it. Just you and the bush and nothing else to distract me. I think you're communicating so much in this simple video. I suggest we need more of them! I can feel your deep admiration for the land and for the simplicity of just being in the bush. Thank you so much.

Ah the serenity, and a 2 stroke!

How good is the Bush 5 billion people on the planet and we in Aus 🇦🇺 can still find a quite spot and listen to nature your time lapse of the clouds looked great thanks for the inspiration Batesy

Chaps, Boots, Gloves.......Safety Glasses? I love your videos Tim. Can't wait to get out of Sydney. You're an inspiration son. The song of Currawongs and the sound of drizzling rain. A good fire, a nice meal and a beer. How could you go wrong. JD

Awesome video Tim love the scenery and the sounds, I bet you had a great night’s sleep after all that

Tim! Top video again. I have learnt so much from your channel. Never listen to nay sayers. Don’t change your style. We love the authentic Tim Bates experience. Your videos are real, useful and beautiful. Your camping advice is top quality. Thank you for everything. Look after yourself. Be safe. God bless. Peter

I like the silent ones and the vocal ones 😂😂

The pie close up footage walking to the river was gold!

I loved every second of this. Well done Batesy!

Great video as always Tim, loved just hearing the sounds of the bush. But after watching most of your vids over the years still heard " how good is this" and " magnificent". Always love watching your vids and appreciate the time you put into them. 👍

Love your work and love the new format. Really peaceful. Great work!!.

Good too see left extra wood for next adventure, good on you

Thanks again Tim for the video tonight just the sounds of the bush. Fantastic. Cheers from Loz

This is why I love your videos Tim. Nothing but the sounds of the bush. Even if it did rain, it all adds to the experience. Looks like a rippa spot mate. Keep up the great work 👍

Bloody awesome vid Timmy .. Dam i love this country Australia we call home .. Take care mate .. keep these vids coming , love them :)

Great content, loved the sights and sounds. Thanks for that.

Good stuff Timmy...

Absolute Perfection mate. Love the bush no mater what it brings us. Great spot that to mate.

I saw the look in your face a few times. You wanted to say "Ahhh, magnificent!"

I love how prepped you are! The ultimate Camper!!!

I would give my left testicle (possibly) to be able to access places like this. An off road tour of Australia is on my bucket list. Probably never be able to afford it, but if I can, a bloke like you would be first choice as a guide. Love these videos!

Silence is magical. Good one Tim! Great videography too!

Bloody Awesome Mate. Thanks.

Great camp Tim. Nice and relaxing. Simply divine. Take care brother. See you in your next video.

Nice!

Always look forward to watching your adventures Tim keep them coming.

Great stuff Batesy, very enjoyable and VERY relaxing indeed mate. Thanks for the effort and for sharing. Cheers 👍

The Man is back.... with my fav toy, the ‘chainsaw’ ... 😂👍

Good one, Tim. Looks like it turned out to be a bit of a wild and woolly overnighter, that one!

Awesome video as usual Batesy! What a cracking spot mate.

Had to pause this vid and say Sooo loving this Thankyou Now back to where I wish I was ..

I am totally green with envy Batesy. Hopefully we will get to Merrijig for Christmas. Been way too long since we saw our place. Great work mate 👍🏻

Great stuff... I've been too busy lately to get out and camp, so this was just what I needed. The slow mo chainsaw and cheese dropping were spot on! 😅

Love these types of vids mate, keep it up! Enjoyed the chainsaw, the saw cut like butter. Watching the camp setup, super relaxing. Can't wait to get out. Been too long! 😩

thank you for another magnificent video Tim. always love watching your videos mate....

Awesome Tim , great work .

It's amazing how much bird life there actually are when you take time to listen. Good one. 👍 But don't forget your safety glasses. 👌

This place looks beautiful

Great video buddy, few creators doing the no talking videos, great idea 👍👍👍👍

Brilliant work Tim .. I always LEARN .

Loved the video Tim what a ripper spot, bet it gets busy during the long weekends.

Great video Tim, love this stuff. I’m here compliments from Matt from Westralian off-road, he mentioned you in one of his. Loving your camping cooking content 👍🏼

Love the videos Tim, keep them coming!

All natural..no 12 volt ovens just cooking naturally on an open fire.. NICE 👍

Excellent video mate. Love ❤ it. So natural. 🇦🇺🍺👍❤

Hiya Tim, strange not to hear your famous greeting but what a great vid this is. Great bird sounds like the Murray River and fantastic river. Bit wet and windy but I'm sure that fire kept you warm. Thanks for sharing again. Regards from UK Paul.

Been there, done that, love it. 👍🏻

yup.....enjoyed.....

Relaxing. I reckon you should've added some fresh basil to the pasta..Then, as you are making the tea, I thought of the old saying "the pot calling the kettle black". Glad you gave the tea a few turns - you have to show it whose boss. Thanks for taking us along. Like I said, very relaxing. Pity I wasn't there :(

G’day Tim, that was nicely done.”How’s the serenity?”We forget just how noisy the bush can be without our input.The pasta looked yum.My Italian fore fathers would’ve preferred it if you had used the traditional grated “Grana Padano” cheese!Cheers, Rob👌.

Great video, no need for a single word to be said

And that, is how you camp !!! 👍

This is so me…. Can’t wait to get own there and have a look next year

Another good one mate. Thanks for sharing

THANK YOU FOR SHARING VIDEO

I finally got down and crossed into Victoria on the 4th November for a 4 day Solo 4WD Trip. My 1st Night Camp site was at Nunnock Camp Grounds in the Southern Forest. Entered Victoria via Delegate, stopped and checked out Ambyne Suspension Bridge, had lunch and a swim at McKillops Bridge, then over to Suggan Buggan Historic Schoolhouse. My second Nights Camp site was at the Suggan Buggan Town Reserve. I was going to try the Ingeegoodbee Track and get to where the Murray River starts, but the Ingeegoodbee Track was closed due to the wet weather, so back track to Limestone Rd and onto Mt Misery Track and finally went onto Davies Track down to Tom Groggin. The Davis Track had had a some good winds in recent times, a heap of trees down around Davies Plains Hut all the way down to Tom Groggin. The Murray River was too high to cross, so made My was back up Mt Hope Track to Omeo, and then down the Omeo / Corryong Road and pulled into to Ah Sye Camping Area on the Gibbo River around 10pm for my 3rd Night Camp site. Day 4 was Corryong, Tumbarumba, Gundagai and onto the freeway back home. The rain put a damper on sight seeing a little, and made the freshly graded roads like a skating wring, only seen 3 other Campers/4WD'ers out there, and only passed 1 4WD on the Davies Track. I did enjoy my 4 days . . . but 4 days was not enough to see everything I wanted to see, so already thinking about my next trip sometime next year.

Looks like up at Licola. Perfect spot

Safety pants but no ear protection. Classic.. good watch.. Surprised you never keep your little compact camping trailer from all those years ago.

Bliss. Thanks champ. 🍺👍🇦🇺

Awesome vid as usual tim looks like a good spot!! love the storytelling without voice mate!! 👍

Geez mate, give it a rest would ya, nothing but me me me......😁 nice one mate. Chilled as.

Thanks I loved it 👍

Good video again Tim, hope to cross paths with ya one day up the high country 🍺

Awesome as always Tim, going this week solo.

Love this.

Gday Tim, Great video as usual. I've been hanging out for this latest one and was a bit surprised when there was no speaking. I reckon this is a bloody beauty Tim, however I missed you saying something like "spaghetti and tomato sauce cooked over an open fire, can't beat it"

Love where you was mate

Love this. Thank you.

Safety first Tim!keep the videos coming 👍🏻

Hi Tim I have only just joined your channel and love your content amazing as you put a lot of effort into them, i also like to cook around the fire and noticed you have 2 stands you cook a frying pan and camp oven can you tell me where I can get them from, cheers

I miss your talking Batesy and you saying magnificent!

Funny, I just asked you on your camp set up video, what it was like to camp on your own, then this video popped up. thx mate, I might give it a go. I have just watch the video, amazing, thx. Mark

G'day mate Great video mate Enjoy the meal

Good day tim, Another great video.

Great video Tim sorry that I just caught up on my videos I've been out camping for the week at Edi what amazing spot that is. I really love these sort of videos well done

My kind of camping video Batesy. Nice one mate 👍!

This is the one video that should be shown to anyone that says "we should go camping"

Great video Tim it showed the real high country sunny one minute rain the next but wonderful all the time. As a side note Kidman would have had you collect the water off your awning to fill the billy.

Tim safety glasses mate😮

You enjoy making them, I enjoy watching then 🍻

Those clouds looks like the make you worry Tim. Great to be out though

Really enjoyed the vid Tim, thank you... Have to say really really missed the commentary though.....

My favourite moment listening to the Bush was when I was driving up some Road/Track somewhere in the hills, when all of a sudden a LyreBird ran out across the Road/Track just ahead of me and just a little bit further on was a good spot where I could pull over safely, so I did. I recon I spent a good hour, just standing there, Listening to the LyreBird's Repertoire of Songs.

Great video editing! ✔😊

love your vids Tim, hey whats that chair you got mate looks confy im on the big side i find it hard to find a nice chair to sit in
