Hey everyone! I’m in the process of adding women’s sizing to the hoodie, so keep an eye on the store. I wasn’t aware it didn’t come in both until a few of you commented, so thank you! Currently out in the middle of nowhere so reception is not ideal for this but I’ll do my best! Mattsy 🫡

@Fiona_Chasing_Light 7 месяцев назад

Great to see you beginning to enjoy it a bit more - a LOT has happened in your life and it takes time to process ... and I'm excited to see the hoodie is now for sale! Take care. And for anybody scrolling by - I encourage you to become a Patron if you are enjoying Mattsy's work. I feel so rewarded for my small contribution on several levels. I know the support is highly valued and needed.

Aghhh Fiona 🙏🙌 Thank you so much. You are a bloody legend and I’m so glad you stumbled across my channel back when you did. Always appreciate what you have to say. Think everything bar the channel has changed, really. I don’t feel like I have, just adjusting as you said. We’ll get there in due course. 💪 Thank you for the support and the shout!

I'm stuck at home at the moment, because of a disability, and you and Scotty help me massively with your videos. You give me inspiration to not give in, and get back into nature where my soul craves. Just bought a hoodie and going to join your Patreon. I don't have much, but it might by you a new gas canister every month! All the best mate.

As you were walking along the track I was worried you'd run into a snake taking a sun bath, who knew that a dragon attack on the edge of the cliff was the real danger 😅

Good morning mate. Absolutely stunning out there wow. Its definitely a change of lifestyle when you decide to make the choice but it's so so rewarding and the freedom is unreal.. Not sure about you but I couldn't return to a house. And soon I'll be leaving my van and little camp I've made up for the wilderness and long roads of my country.. It's definitely going to take me a bit to get use to sleeping outside again 😂...have a beautiful weekend. The Australian sense of humor you and Luke bring is brilliant 😂.

Hi Swagman I’ve been a silent watcher for a while now but really I want to say I love your videos and hearing your thoughts. Especially from this video, about finding the joy in the little everyday things, it’s so important. I try to look at everything with childlike wonder. I’m hoping to visit Australia in November to see my dad. We’re going to do some backpacking while I’m there. Watching your videos gets me so hyped to see the beauty Australia has for myself :)

@TheSillySwagman 7 месяцев назад

‘Childlike wonder’ that’s exactly what it is isn’t it. Well said 😊 Oh awesome! You’ll love it. Where are you living? Australia is massive and it changes from place to place, so if you land somewhere you’re not fond of, take a little drive and it won’t be long before you’re in a totally different environment 👌 Thanks for watching (even if in silence) 🙏

@hanmoroll 7 месяцев назад

@@TheSillySwagman I’m from Arkansas, US. I do a lot of hiking in the Ozarks, my terrain looks similar to the Blue Mountains but much less stunning! Hoping to explore around there for the most part, and also visiting my dad where he’s living around Curl Curl Beach near Sydney I think. Thanks for the advice :)

@TheSillySwagman 6 месяцев назад

That’s awesome! All I know of the Ozarks is that Netflix series with Jason Bateman 😅 Typical. You can’t go wrong with the Blue Mountains. So much to see and the place is enormous. A lot of beautiful surrounding national parks nearby as well. Curl curl! That’s on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Born and raised there in Mona Vale. You’ll be in a great part of the world. Enjoy!

Great video! That spot has been my favorite since I got into back country camping. It is such and unbelievable view. I actually did that walk with a mate last year but we went down that track you mentioned to the camp site below. Quite a lot steeper than we planned with lots of loose rocks. Got the heart pumping thats for sure. Your other video last year with Scotty when you took the rafts down that sketchy descent reminded me of it. Anyway keep it up and looking forward to seeing your adventures ahead.

Thanks a lot for that Julian 🙏🙏 Bery much appreciated mate. Haha yeah I was reading the track notes and I thought… I really do want to go and relax out there for this one, I might pass on the dangerous scramble in the middle of summer 😂 Sounds like I made the right decision. One for another time maybe. Glad you both made it down safely though 👌 Thanks for watching mate!
