Not a problem at all. Did you find it helpful or anything I didn't explain well enough?

Hahahaha I do like a stir fry tho lol

It sure was an adventure to find these spots. Ah thanks :) I'm pretty keen to get some overnighters done, been what seems like forever.

Yeah, I haven't been back out there since this trip to see how it's going. Everything is starting to get pretty dry already...

Thanks mate. This one was recorded back in May. But had a few medical things that took priority since then unfortunately. Hopefully will be able to get out soon and get the trip done with Roz.

@@OutdoorsOvernight Not a snake bite I hope !

Nah not a Snake bite, have been dealing with cancer. Got the all clear last week and now just healing from the last surgery.

@@OutdoorsOvernight All the best to you sir.

Great to see you out and about and that you are on the mend.

The upper Murray is a nice area too! I'm moved to the Shoalhaven about 14 years ago, so much to explore and experience.

Storm watching is 100% a relaxing and enjoyable experience for me.

Hahaha yeah I've thought about it, and my coffee trees are heavy in fruit at the moment too lol

This clip was from my trip on this vid th-cam.com/video/dC90v0Vzjtw/w-d-xo.html This was easily my hardest hike I've done yet! But loved it just as much.

Yeah I like everything I carry to have multi use where possible. Good coffee is something I don't like to skimp on now. I pack it all back out and compost what I can.

It sure is hey, I've been itching to get back out there!

Thanks mate, was a great camp. It was on the Shoalhaven.

G'day mate. We paddled up to camp, then paddled back.

Ok thnx

Not a problem at all. My very first video is from the same launch site (and gives the name) if you wanted to check it out.

Honestly who cares where it’s made. If it was made in Australia it would be harder to get and 5x the price Nothing wrong with made in China it’s just about quality control and Alton have shown they have good QC processes It’s still an Aussie owner and you’re still supporting the Aussie economy rather than getting it from overseas directly or supporting a huge company like Anaconda/BCF etc Supporting Aussie made is great when you can, but don’t forget the owner is still an Aussie bloke in Brisbane working his ass off, much better to support him than the owner of spotlight retail group or other corporations

You mean like your iPhone, Jye Price? All comes down to design and quality control. Alton have that in spades.

My 20 dollar made in China hammock is better. Made in China is fine. I'm just not paying premium for a basic hammock.

I have all of the things in this set ip including the rain fly and bug net. It cost me 50 bucks. For all of it. I have used it for the last year it's been amazing. Add a 30 dollar sleeping pad and you can winter camp comfortable. You do what you want with your money. I'm just saying this sort of stuff is over priced. If you don't mind paying for it. Go for it.

@MonkInDocs I don't have am iphone buds. I don't get reception out here in the bush. But surely some of the components of my laptop are made there!

Hey brother, it was a 3.5m sit on top. I sold it after this trip and still haven't got myself anything to replace it. Was a good kayak, but very heavy at 36kg

Ah perfect! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure you'll love the experience of it just being you and nature, it is something that is so hard explain. But be warned, it is very addictive!

It sure is. Just glad we saw it and were able help. Thanks for stopping by :)

Thanks mate and I apologise for the late reply. It's a good pack for what you pay. But I've found on my longer hikes with it loaded, my shoulders and hips get a bit sore.

Thanks mate! Unfortunately I haven't had much time this past year to get out. Hopefully 2023 will bring a few more vids!

@@OutdoorsOvernight No worries, I’ve only had one camp along the Murray in the last year. Bushfires, Covid and floods have had an impact. Show us a clip whenever, I won’t expect one at regular intervals.

@@samday6621 yeah it has been difficult to get out the past year. Hopefully 2023 is kinder to us hey :) Happy new year!

It's all about the time of year as well. I've seen many at just about every reef around the bay.

Thanks man. I'm pretty keen to make some more. Just got so much on at the moment it's crazy. Hopefully the weather gods are kinder this autumn/winter.

Yeah bloody oath mate. I'll watch your catching videos been a bloody long time since iv been out and done any snake catching

I asked Ryan, but he said he has no idea what they are lol, as long as they float, hahaha

@@OutdoorsOvernight haha fair enough. thanks for checking up :)

No worries at all mate.

He's the goodest boy!

Thanks mate. Glad we were able to get it sorted and back out there. Missed the Giant Cuttlefish this year, was looking forward to it.

Thanks mate. I haven't bought anything from Alton since this video. So I can't comment on the newer gear unfortunately. The S2S Spark/Ember bags/quilts are pretty good though.

Thanks fella, I'm keen as mustard to get back out, I had one planned for this week, but strong winds and a razor ridge to traverse don't mix lol

Hey Simmo! Hope you're well man!

Thanks mate. It has been a tricky one. Trying to get a good balance in life can be tricky at times. Super keen to get back out there tho.

Yeah with the recent news from BOM, looks like a wet spring and summer again. Hopefully we get a few breaks of great weather.

You and I both 😂

Thanks mate. The pegs are alright. They're nice and light yet strong. Not quite long enough for soft/sandy soil, but if you've got a knife handy, it doesn't take long to fashion up a few long pegs from sticks.

@@OutdoorsOvernight Thanks for that mate!

The filter bottle used is a Grayl Ultrapress 16.9oz. Here's an affiliate link if you want to go check it out: amzn.to/3yaOSGv Or they have it in the 24oz: amzn.to/3R4T2Zd

What is pls?

@@OutdoorsOvernight i WANT TO PICKING

@@OutdoorsOvernight They probably mean "please"

Ah... Well now I'm back with it and the internet shorthand text lol Location was shot in 2 places. Schrooms were found in the Southern Highlands and the cook up was shot in the Shoalhaven.

@@OutdoorsOvernight Haha, I'm the same with that internet talk. It's funny too when people ask for your spots, it's like mate, not being rude but you got to find the spots on your own, haha. It's the hunt where the fun is at.

Yeah it's great stuff I've bought from them, very happy with it. Haven't tried their mat as I've got a thermarest insulated mat that I haven't destroyed yet lol Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying it. I've got a camp planned I am hoping to drag the cameras along with me soon.

I got them from Bunnings (local hardware store) but you can use any garden bed or container.

@@OutdoorsOvernight 🙏 thanks. My local Home Depot did not have these specific ones... Supply chain issues? Love the color. Do you have the specific names for this garden container? Looking to order online. Thanks!

This is a link to where I got mine. So should give you the brand etc to try and find locally to you. www.bunnings.com.au/the-organic-garden-co-200-x-100-x-41cm-raised-rectangle-garden-bed-monument_p0045658

Hey mate, thanks for the comment. I'd like to explore the Upper Nepean one day. Some of the images and footage looks awesome. While I didn't mention this spot, it isn't a hidden secret. I've decided to limit the amount of location information off my videos as I've seen what can happen when it does. My "Chasing Hidden Waterfalls" is one example. Even though I found evidence of others when I did the hike, the property owner closed public access to it. Although any good paddling guide has all the info. The 3rd Edition of The Paddler's Guide to NSW has so many good paddles described, including this one. Thanks again for stopping by, I hope I've explained myself well enough to make sense and not rambled too much lol

@@OutdoorsOvernight yeah all good . I saw your first video after this one explaining where you were paddling . I have no objection to keeping secret or places only known to locals off the internet . Ive lived guided and explored here in the blue mtns immensely . I knew of a lot of pristine pretty untouched unspoilt secluded spots . for camping swimming or just exploring .unfortunately people have put these places on social media and they are getting trampled and spoiled by people who dont seam to care about their impact . its such a shame those local secret places are all being exposed . sometimes itsd hard to find a secluded camp site or bush paradise anymore without bubblies coming along and spoiling the tranquillity or just evidence of them having been there with rubbish , environmental damage to plants and earth , rocks trees etc and sometimes even graffiti carved into rocks or trees . ffs who gives a shit if DH was there

@@sprintershepherd4359 100% agree with you mate. The last thing you want to see when heading out is evidence of others. Leaving rubbish in some pretty hard to reach places confuses me. If you've carted it that far full, it's only going to be lighter on the way back...

@@OutdoorsOvernight yep exactly . even more harder to explain when its a car camping spot . We always make a point of leaving a place better than we found it , by cleaning it up or getting rid of some weeds or fire scars , out of respect for the natural earth we share this planet with . She can do with all the help she can get in this day and age

Love your work mate. If only more people put the same effort in. But at the same time, we wouldn't have to if everyone knew and followed the leave no trace mantra.

Ah awesome, I'm sure you'll love them, but would love to know what you think of them once they arrive.

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Lots of reasons why it went the way it did unfortunately. But it is looking promising as it's slowly regenerating.

Not sure, I was just an attendee at this event. Hopefully another will be planned. Was such a great weekend with some great people.

This video was filmed in the Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven regions in NSW

@@OutdoorsOvernight Thanks, great video!

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Shaun

Thanks Barbara. Its a great spot and an easy paddle, you'll love it.
