Ah Matt man, you know we appreciate every bit of hardship you put yourself in for our entertainment. You're a bloody champion. You deserve every bit of love and praise on this channel. Thank you for giving us these videos. Much love dude.
@@terrancesweetman3298 Right sure thing mr youtube specialist and no being a youtuber dosnt mean you know what you are doing and your comment shows you don't know what you are talking about
We would love to see more 7 days solo challenge on a random beach. We love your efforts and your energy you put in every videos. Thank you and much love.
Great informational video Matt...loved the filtration system you put together. One of the most important aspects of the video that may be overlooked was the stop you made. You were sort of having a moment, which can happen a lot in survival situations. You took that time to try and calm yourself, take a few minutes, do some thinking, do an attitude reset. In my opinion it isn't something to be ashamed of at all.....but sometimes necessary. Tough conditions-great stuff as always!
Who would've thought this random guy I found on here who was making fish traps and catching fish in rice field channels would come this far. Amazing work mate! Always a great time watching your videos and living vicariously through you.
I had goosebumps too when you dug that water out. I WAS LIKE no way this is happening. Appreciate your hard work and efforts Matt. You deserve lot of Sucess
You wouldnt like it here in Norway since your problem in general would be too much water and nothing that can hurt you basicly exept maybe if you come between a moose and the kids during spring. We have lynx, bears, wolfies, wolverines but they are more afraid of you than you are scared of them. we got some pretty substancial crabs you can mess with and lots of fishies in both fresh and salt water. So basicly life would be easy and you would hate it lol. Now we do have one thing you would like, it's called WINTER. You would love -30 or 40 with a small lean to since that would actually be a challenge for you:)
Tbf, cold weather really isn't a big issue if you just wear proper clothing. Heat on the other hand - only so much can be tolerated before you overheat, regardless of what you wear. The main issue with cold climates is the lack of food sources. If you can't find meat, you're basically screwed (during winter).
Fish... you can make a hole in the ice and fish fresh water or you can move to the shores where the sea is basicly never frozen...you can also make snares for rabbit's etc bla bla bla. Winter doesent mean you have to starve...The problem with winter is that if you f...up you freeze to death, get caught in an avalance, go through the ice etc @@lordfabulous6198
That's a mather of knowledge, if i go to his place however i will need a big airconditioner and a beer elevator since i will be living inside the airconditioner.or i will die within a few hrs as there is nowhere to ecape the heat out in the bush...@@slowjamcdub
The way Field Days didn’t give up and kept on pushing it after this little rant at 4:05, makes me really believe that accomplishing things is very possible. Thank you Field days for these amazing videos and showing how to overcome adversity. Keep it up man we love your videos!
I really appreciate these videos Matt. You really put yourself out for everyone and you do so with such positive energy. You’ve taught me so much, not just about fishing and survival skills, but to approach things positively and not to let bad times put you off. I watched you trek back through the outback after breaking your foot, I could see how badly you suffered, but here you are going back out undeterred. You’re a legend.
Just so know; I absolutely appreciate all your hard work. You and Mac 10 ❤I look forward to your vids and I am wishing you and Mac 10 a happy new year!!
Absolute mad man!! Where I live down in Victoria it's only gotten to about 37°c so far and that's too hot for me to be outside 🥵 You're a legend Matt, just please don't push it and cause yourself another injury. We can all see you love doing this stuff and your videos always make my day and I'd hate for you to have to stop. Stay safe my dude 👌
Great video. I do appreciate the effort. I just spent last night in the snow (“just” -5°C, but still), and it’s effing hard work. Setting up camp, collecting firewood, making fire, changing clothes. Everything is just so much harder than at home in the living room. Some day I wanna experience the Australian bush.

Been with ya since 100k or so subs, Was a rough time in my life. Downloading your vids at Timmies because I couldn’t pay my internet bill. Sober as a judge now though, and can’t believe you’re pushing 2M. Congrats brother you deserve it.
Witnessing your genius in action is like watching magic unfold. Starting a fire in the wild, crafting essentials out of nothing, securing water - it wasn't just survival; it was a remarkable journey for the glory. What you accomplished out there is truly out of this world. 🌟
broo that was a very interesting video not gunna lie. very educational, your catch and cook videos are great but i really enjoyed this video because you taught us a lot of useful tips and tricks. keep smashing it brother ❤
right? by watching his survival content alone, i feel like im equipped to potentially know enough that would keep me alive long enough if i ever end up in a dire situation
@@thomasauer9370 that's it, i do love abit of survival content. but we could all for sure use some of this knowledge in all kinds of situations you no. like camping,hunting all sort of stuff.
man i f*cking love the bloopers at the end. it really shows how hard yall working in the bush to make content! been a subscriber for years and i realy love watching this videos whenever i eat launch or dinner for some reason lol.
Fascinating - I'd get digging for the gold stuff personally. Struth - beer cans 🤣🤣 Wondering if the prosectors were attacked here? At 12:43 - that is a piece of quartz rock - so gold is here for sure. Great show. Very helpful ideas. Have a gud un mate!
How about a series of videos with store bought survival items. Adding one or two items to a mission to see what makes life easier. I would suggest something like a back packing tarp, one of those straw type water filters, etc. You could even branch out to more everyday items that a person could carry on their person or in a car. Like a garbage bag (bin liner) small sewing kit, or whatever.
Matt! Thank you so much for the content broski I look forward to every Sunday here in Canada because of it. Just wanted to give you a warning: mattresses contain fibreglass which can be very irritating to our bodies especially if ingested. I'm sure you're fine but thought I'd mention it for your next adventure
Yeeew!!! My 2 kids a screaming best episode doggies. They are very impressed once again. Only disappointment apparently was that you didn't make a shelter and camp out. Keep them coming.
Matt!!! At 3:17 you lost something from your backpack! 😮 Fingers crossed you saw it and packed it up again! 🤞 But anyway…, what a proper survival challenge, once again! 🤌 I love your videos. And each and every time I watch them I think by myself: “NOW, THIS IS WHAT I WANNA!” And you know what? I WILL!!! ❤ Cheers from Germany!
Love ya Field Days my favourite on TH-cam watch your videos like going to church every Sunday wear my merch everyday except when it's in the wash hope your foot feels better much love
Thanks for sticking with the mission. That was an interesting way to find water. The knowledge you shared could come in handy for someone in a survival situation. The only way this video could have been better is an overnight camp in the bush next to the fire.
Honestly probably my favorite video from Matt. It was very educational to me, I never knew that you could dig up a creek and water will come out that was a shocker to me and I loved it when he got more than 2 bottles worth of water from that hole absolutely love it l
Take care of yourself out there matt man i know you are well used to it but that heat is crazy you have great tactics tho great video brother i can't wait for the next one
Love your videos bro so glad you aren't changing your content for no one. I appreciate all the videos youve done for us bro. Keep up the mean work bro. Love your family and the goats. Hope your goats are doing well by the way. much love bro and appreciate everything you do cheers for the videos. 😊😊😊
Highly motivating 🤠 You got my subscription with this video. Do more like it! Is it me, or did it seem like you needed several more water holes to be able to stay properly hydrated AND store up a surplus of water to be able to keep traveling away from those holes? Or was this one hole enough?
A little tip for when youre boiling the water is to get a piece of curved broken bottle and position it to catch the steam and collect the drop. those droplets once collected are safer to drink
Gday Field Days! would love if you could do a mini video on some of your fishing set ups with the FDY Jigs, i wanna buy some and run your set up, Cheers Dawgy!
G'day Matt. Good video. I worked in that sort of environment for a good while. It's the only time I've ever passed out; I was banging steel pickets in across a clay pan while the temp was in the mid-forties, lol. I was soon back to work... Oh, and we drank water from anywhere. We'd fill our water-bags from the lagoon to strap to the front of the fencing truck for the day. None of the three of us ever had gut problems. I felt my gut had been the best in my life. And the there was the time I was lost and drank out of muddy hoof-prints... I lived.
You can see your truck it's behind the camera you can see it in the reflection of your glasses 😅 also the brand new tracks in the sand give it away aswell. But still a good video. Best channel on youtube
Adapt over come , nothing wrong with a winge but never let it get in the way of a good adapt & overcome mentality ,Australians are fkn awesome man ,that little excerpt right there was so Australian.Tough breed!!
Its crazy that its Summer and so bloody hot there. Here in Kansas in the states its Winter with an artic front and -4 ° F or -20° Celsius out. Everything is hard frozen. The high today is just 6° F or -14° Celsius with sun out. In the Summer we can get up to 105+° F or 40.5° Celsius
What amazing video once again! I really appreciate all the work that you're doing for us who watch these. By far the best content in YT! Keep it coming :)
All these hateful comments not to mention for some reason they feel they’re entitled to something….😂😂😂 ITS CONTENT, HE GOES OUT TO MAKE IT SO YOU COULD SIT AT HOME IN YOUR SPARE TIME AND WATCH SOMETHING. It’s SUPER AMAZING CONTENT TOO❤️
A truly excellent video - Those were some pretty extreme/challenging conditions, especially from a Northern European perspective. Securing fire and water on day 1 of any real survival situation in this environment would be a massive win...only leaves you needing shelter really, food wouldn't be an immediate priority in the scenario IMO.
Would you prefer he trek in an all-terrain RV with all the trimmings? The brother is surviving off the land for our viewing pleasure. In my mid 60's now, I probably wouldn't last an hour in that desert. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT MY BROTHER, IT GOT A LITTLE HAIRY BUT YOU PAUSED TO REBALANCE. AWSOME INDEED!!!
Hi Matt I enjoy your videos greatly. There is one thing you should explain to the viewers about that foam filter. There are two types of foam - open cell and closed cell. You got lucky and found open cell foam. Closed cell foam would have been useless. Cheers John
My biggest tip for if you are in this situation for real is don't walk around in the middle of the day when its hottest, only a novice to the outback does this. Wait until its cool in the evenings and mornings, you will save so much water. Next is forget the large knife they, are useless in this country, carry a couple of large clear plastic bags instead. They weigh a lot les and will actually save your life. Those trees with the white trunks and bright green leaves you see everywhere? Put the bag over a thick bushy branch of leaves that are facing the sun. You will collect a lot of water through transpiration this way and wont need to waste any energy walking or digging. Change the bag to a new branch every 4 hours to harvest the most water, if you leave it on longer then some trees will just shut that branch down to stop water loss. If you have to dig for water let the vegetation guide you to the most lush looking spot in the dry river bed and look for a low point in the outside bend of the main river, that's were you will get the most water from a Seep Well which is what was shown in this video. Especially if there is a long shelf of rock under the sand in that area that will hold the water for a long time and not let it drain away into the soil. Once you dig a small Seep Well hole cover the hole with a some bundles of leaves to stop evaporation while it collects, the hole shown here would loose quite a lot of water that way exposed directly to the sun in afternoon heat. The face cloth worn in this video would be a really good way to pre filter the water going into the bottles, you could see the black things floating around getting sucked into the mouth of the bottle, you stop all that and more by folding putting cloth over the opening to pre filter it. Putting the wet soil into a sock, then another sock then the face cloth and then squeeze it will give you relatively clear water relatively fast too. If you dig and get moist sand but never hit the water table (this is more likely than actually finding water in most places) you can put the moist sand into one of the large clear plastic bags you should be carrying, make a low point in the bag thats got no sand then let the sun evaporate and condense all the water out of the sand it into the low point of the bag. This water will be clear and drinkable with out needing to mess around with making a fire and boiling it then waiting for it to cool ect. Again though find a shady area and wait until its cool until you set all this up all this, not run around in the highest heat of the day or you can easily use up more water up than you can harvest. This was a fun challenge video but yeah just entertainment, a lot of important info missing for real survival.
Fair play for sticking it out in those conditions. The thing is with a new mark is to try it out at different times and states of the tide. Hopefully there’s a cod out there somewhere with your name on 🤞🐟🎣
here we have an enitre PhD. on survival mate...I have experienced the good ol' heat inflicted goosebumps. You are a warrior! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
43 degrees is hot even by my standard as a Texan, and we compare ourselves a lot with y'all. That's hot brother! Especially out there with no cover and sand that soaks up the heat. Good on ya!

Of course he has his truck to go to places. Do you think he walks out in the outback just like that? It doesn't change anything in the video..
Omg I have been waiting all week for this moment😅 I have watched all you videos❤❤
What's with the wheels tracks towards the end? Still love the videos been following since indo.

Hi Matt I enjoy your videos greatly. There is one thing you should explain to the viewers about that foam filter. There are two types of foam - open cell and closed cell. You got lucky and found open cell foam. Closed cell foam would have been useless. Cheers John
Probably one of the best episodes yet I reckon
Matty!! great to be watching fresh episodes ❤
Hey Matt good to see you back, hope Mac-10 and your baby( the goat🤭) are doing well.👍🏿💪🏾🖐🏾🙅🏾♂️ 35:24
I do appreciate these videos Field days!!!
Yeaaaaah mate good to see u again
My biggest tip for if you are in this situation for real is don't walk around in the middle of the day when its hottest, only a novice to the outback does this.
Wait until its cool in the evenings and mornings, you will save so much water.
Next is forget the large knife they, are useless in this country, carry a couple of large clear plastic bags instead. They weigh a lot les and will actually save your life. Those trees with the white trunks and bright green leaves you see everywhere? Put the bag over a thick bushy branch of leaves that are facing the sun. You will collect a lot of water through transpiration this way and wont need to waste any energy walking or digging. Change the bag to a new branch every 4 hours to harvest the most water, if you leave it on longer then some trees will just shut that branch down to stop water loss.
If you have to dig for water let the vegetation guide you to the most lush looking spot in the dry river bed and look for a low point in the outside bend of the main river, that's were you will get the most water from a Seep Well which is what was shown in this video. Especially if there is a long shelf of rock under the sand in that area that will hold the water for a long time and not let it drain away into the soil.
Once you dig a small Seep Well hole cover the hole with a some bundles of leaves to stop evaporation while it collects, the hole shown here would loose quite a lot of water that way exposed directly to the sun in afternoon heat.
The face cloth worn in this video would be a really good way to pre filter the water going into the bottles, you could see the black things floating around getting sucked into the mouth of the bottle, you stop all that and more by folding putting cloth over the opening to pre filter it.
Putting the wet soil into a sock, then another sock then the face cloth and then squeeze it will give you relatively clear water relatively fast too.
If you dig and get moist sand but never hit the water table (this is more likely than actually finding water in most places) you can put the moist sand into one of the large clear plastic bags you should be carrying, make a low point in the bag thats got no sand then let the sun evaporate and condense all the water out of the sand it into the low point of the bag. This water will be clear and drinkable with out needing to mess around with making a fire and boiling it then waiting for it to cool ect.
Again though find a shady area and wait until its cool until you set all this up all this, not run around in the highest heat of the day or you can easily use up more water up than you can harvest.
This was a fun challenge video but yeah just entertainment, a lot of important info missing for real survival.
Damn gutsy stuff bloke. I've been there many years ago. I'm almost 70 years old and I don't fancy doing it now. 👍😇❤️
Weather videos man keep up the good work and can't wait for your next one
you absolute legend mate, keep up the awesome videos!
Fair play for sticking it out in those conditions. The thing is with a new mark is to try it out at different times and states of the tide. Hopefully there’s a cod out there somewhere with your name on 🤞🐟🎣
here we have an enitre PhD. on survival mate...I have experienced the good ol' heat inflicted goosebumps. You are a warrior! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
43 degrees is hot even by my standard as a Texan, and we compare ourselves a lot with y'all. That's hot brother! Especially out there with no cover and sand that soaks up the heat. Good on ya!
