Solo Aussie Bushcraft Canoe Trip 

With 2 severely disabled children at home 24/7 I crave escape from my real life. Your videos give me that calm, comfort and space to think about something else rather than my life. Many thanks.

Why would you even bother hitting the dislike button on a vid like this? Well done Scotty. Great vid. Livin the dream!

There is something magical about rivers that run through sandstone country.

One of the things that make your videos so good is your ability to talk to me like I was right there with you. I stumble and ramble when the camera comes on. ENVY!

Hi Scott, Any time you are on Water, Always, Always use a Life Jacket. ALWAYS. No Exception. Your videos are brilliant. :)

I love weather. I don't care if it's sunny, overcast, raining, blowing a gale, still, clouds, cloudless, whatever, I love it all.

You are a legend mate its a lot harder then people think to film yourself and share it with us all to enjoy. Keep it up and thank you for encouraging me to get amongst it

Thankyou, love watching you in the Aussie bush. I often watch American because not many do what you're doing in Australia.

I've been watching a lot of these solo bushcraft videos lately and something stood out to me. Even though the world is so full of people, you can still get out into nature all by yourself like it used to be hundreds and even thousands of years ago. So peaceful. Goes to show how many people prefer to stay in the comfort of the city. In California where I live, even when you go into nature, there are typically other people around. I have to go deep into desolation wilderness to get away from everyone.

I love your videos. They are top notch quality, and what a BEAUTIFUL country you live in. Just amazing. Thank you so much for showing us your country, for putting the camera on spots and holding for a second for us to enjoy. It is very evident that you love your country. It's so nice to hear you speak such glaring words about it. I love your hat.

Inspired for a big year of adventure after watching this! Thanks Scotty

Thanks for the canoe ride down that bueatiful river & loved the landscape also ...very relaxing

Keep on mate, there is something here that resonates very deeply with all of us that enjoy the bush no matter which the continent.

Thankyou so much for sharing your bushcraft - knots and tarp hacks ! Such a great addition to your already beathtraking videos 👌

Thanks for taking us on this journey…Amazing and beautiful!

Oh, solo bushcraft ... I wasn't expecting beers and a gin and tonic but really liked watching you!

I was diggin it all the way through, getting those Mathew Posa vibes when you were having trouble catching fish, feeling your inner Joe Robinet when you let us all know what beer you're drinking, until you got to cooking your dinner. It's a sly moment, you gotta keep your eyes peeled, but about half way through eating your dinner, you decide to try get a bit of sweet potato and steak on the same fork, and then go all out trying to secure that mushroom on the same utensil, and it was then, at that exact moment I decided to subscribe. That sounds like a delicious mouthful, and you're an everyday hero for reaching so close to utopia.

I just love the way the trees have colonized them sandstone cliffs. Life taking hold. Awesome time out. Mark

Scotty.......another fantastic escape from reality for us viewers. Relaxed, genuine and relatable. Mate, I know I’ve said this before but you need to consider taking some of your followers on some trips with you - maybe not in the canoe as it might be a tad crowded/unsafe but some weekend/long weekend treks in the Sydney area/basin would be gold. Charge us a nominal fee, heads up on do’s/dont’s for packs/food etc and away we go...... Happy New Year to “Scotty’s Gone Walkabouts” and look forward to many more adventures in 2019 - but get us along for the enjoyment as well...!

scotty,,,you've captured the quietness of the bush great!!!! good music too

I love being out there on my own... such a fun thing to do.. but scary at times due to weather and what not.. but thats the fun of it.. enjoyed watching this from canada

Hi Scotty. Im from the US. Love your vids. I have an Old Town Discovery also. Mine is larger, a two man.Just a tip for your fishing- try leaving the cicada lure flooting on the surface for a bit.and twitch it a bit like a live cacada would. It would be struggleing to get back into the air and not swimming. Fish are alarmed when something isnt natural. Also when a fish strikes,set the hook harder to make sure it is embeded in its mouth so it dosent pull out when encountering an obstacle . I dont want so sound like an expert because Im not,but I have been fishing with lures for a long time and have success when imitating the moments of the creature that the lure represents. It is winter here,watching your video has me getting spring fever.Good luck and keep on enjoying the Great Outdoors. Looking foward to your next video.Thanks,hope the tip helps.

The Peace and tranquillity, a Fantastic setting.. can't fault it.

Enjoyed that mate! Scenery looks awesome

Great vid as always. So nice to see the Aussie bush, so many outdoors channels are based in North America and Europe so it's nice seeing something totally different.

Yes Make hundreds of setup's like that...always like it...already 25 years ago I walked around the side of the globe. FB kayak cobber

One of the best produced videos I've seen. Absolutely brilliant. Keep them coming.....

Been waiting all day for this(popped up just as I was leaving for work this morning. In UK) Well worth the wait. Thank you very much bud. A very jealous pome. Atb Dom.

Awesome camp! Absolutely beautiful location!

I noticed that there seem to not be a lot of pesky flying bugs there. What a beautiful area!

Awesome video. Thanks for making it

How 40 people gave this a thumbs down is beyond me. Great video and that Kangaroo steak looked amazing. Can't wait to watch some more of your stuff.

Takes me back to when I was a young 13 year old canoeing at Yal Wal. Just loved your video of that lovely part of NSW. Too many Crocs to do it where i live now.

Awesome bro, been looking forward to your next video. Inspirational!

What a spot! Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see you turn the fishing game around. Cheers!

Awesome place, beautiful county. Thanks!

Another ripper vid Scotty! Keep it up. Cheers

Epic trip as usual! Welcome to the canoe camping community XD

Wow! .. you're so lucky to have that breathtaking wilderness where you live . Here in England .. we need to cull the population , so we get that kinda 'silence' and 'space'.. . Thanks for a fantastic video mate... from Darren the Jealous Pom!

Keep up the good work Scotty!

Beautiful area...I have been canoe camping in the BWCA (northern Minnesota, US) and Quetico,CA for over 40 years. No other way to get away and explore. You can bring as little as you want or way more than you ever could backpacking. Thanks for sharing!

SUPER VIDEO!

Stunning landscape and the drone footage was a nice touch. You sir area true delight to watch your whole demeaner is fantastic.. Safe Travels

Beautiful. Thanks. X

Awesome video! And thanks to you me and the wife just ordered some dukkah seasoning. Thanks from the US. Keep up the adventures.

Australia is a beautiful magical land. We need to start realising we can’t keep destroying it with bulldozing large swaths of bush land in outer urban areas for these large spread out housing estates with black hot tar roads and no shade, just cheap nasty McMansions one like the other. In view of the floods too people need to start building up, not across. We need to cherish and save these beautiful places. Love your film. I wish I could be there.

Hultafors! Didn't know they were that widespread. I'm from Sweden so I kinda assume our products stay mostly domestic. But it seems like the axes made by Hultafors are internationally appreciated, making it as far as literally the opposite side of the globe as well. That's cool!

nice one Scotty I enjoyed that thanks mate

Really enjoyed your video from a different part of the world beautiful country. 👍👍🇨🇦

Awesome video mate. Keep me coming. Your an inspiration

Just keep camping barefoot... I'll watch every time!! Good video Scott!!!

Great video.Thanks a lot !!!!

Brilliant stuff, Thanks for sharing. love the canoe, have taken the Discovery 158 up a few rivers in England with the family - good stable built canoes.

Oh my goodness that is so beautiful😊👍

Like a bloody doco mate, loved the serenity and the photography.

This makes me want to go there. Thanks for sharing

young Henries… and the Gin and Lemon... Awesome round off.. Excellent stuff.

So amazing.... Thank You! 🌀❤️🌀

Just came along your channel and enjoyed watching your trip. There are worse things on earth then paddling through a beautiful scenery, set up a tarp for the night, cooking a steak and yam, knock over some cold ones and throw out a line. Thanks for sharing. By the way, great camou pattern on your canoe. Love it. See ya.

Awesome, nice to see some buchcraft and wildlife from the other side of the world - so sweet. Looking forward for more movies.

Kangaroo tail is the best,, I’m an aboriginal from northern Victoria, on the N.S.W border, love kangaroo..... keep it up man

Scotty.. great to view another walkabout in your beautiful country! I agree the Aussie bush looks ancient, and unforgiving. Cheers from US

Great video Scotty, very enjoyable :-)

Well done video . So much to see from traveling a river . Serene .

Life doesn’t get much better than this

Last time I was there was a YR12 canoe camping trip, that was over a decade ago though. Still looks great and I cannot wait to take my boys there on a canoe adventure! Great video, keep up the great work!

Enjoyed this video. Makes me excited about doing a few similar trips when we move to Aus next year

Love it mate

mate! that place is magic

Keep up the good work mate. Awesome.

what a lovely place

Excellent video Great to see Aussie bushcraft

Spectacular country. The views are amazing. Food looked so good. Thanks for sharing

Takes me back..kind of. Great memories of the Shoalhaven and Ettrema , but that was before the dam.

Great camping video.

Fantastic video. Loved watching it. Keep them coming. 🙏

awesome video dude. One of my fav places to go!

Loved it as per usual scotty.. Out of all the gear you take with you, i absolutely love that hiking bag lol. Can't wait for another video. Keep up the good work and congrats on the new house.

Nature is the best ❤

06:40 here in London. This just pops up, dame it! Now I’m gonna be an hour late for work until I watch this. Awesome video.

They were so so. Nice camp and area. I have a cousin near Sydney. Thanks and take care.

Just earned yourself another sub mate and great see another aussie creating awesome videos ....used to live down that part of the country and may have to come back and check out that amazing spot 😊👌

G'day Scotty, I've only just found your channel today and I'm mighty pleased I did, mate. It's great to see a young fella like you getting out there and getting into it on your own. Not many Aussie youtubers doing it like you are, so it's a breath of fresh air. Not many vids on this platform can hold my interest for an hour, mate, but I could have watched yours for longer, hey! Well done, mate. I look forward to seeing more as you build your channel and extend your experience. Ps. When fishing for bass with a surface lure, slow it down a bit. When the lure hits the water, don't even move it until the ripples it makes are at least 50 - 100cm in diameter, then only twitch it a bit. This mimicks an insect hitting the water then starting to wriggle a bit as it realises it's stuck. Good luck with it, mate. Tight lines! :)

Beautiful spot

Excellent stuff!!

I love being an Aussie! And watching these videos makes me even prouder!! It’s also great knowing every word your saying! 🤙🏼 Love your content! So much inspiration to get me into the bush !!

Wow awesome canoe trip!

Just found this channel. Nice work mate! Iv lived in the US for the last 12 years and love watching outdoor related stuff from back home. Cheers from Tennessee.

I lived in North Nowra for a year when I was a kid, it was amazing our property had bush land directly behind it that ended on the cliffs of the Shoalhaven...magic! Your vid gave me happy reminiscing ..i just subscribed!

that "groundsheet-flick" at 16:05 was smooth

Congrats on getting the nice canoe. Looking forward on seeing it used in future vids.. great scenic shots as usual.

Love this video, keep up the good work, best wishes from the UK.

that's a sick sick view and campsite
