Surviving in the Australian Bush with No Food, Water or Shelter

  • I head into the Australian bush for a solo bushcraft/ survival challenge. I have no food, no water and no shelter, so I have to eat what bush tucker (wild edible plants) I can find as well as build a shelter using natural materials. This was a super fun challenge. Hope you enjoy it.
    Note: This was filmed in a state forest, not a national park.

    Hi Scotty. Great content. Just one thing regarding your hips on the ground. I was in the Australian Army(grunt) and we used to dig a "Hip Hole". Its just a shallow oval shaped hole for your hip to fit in when sleeping. Made all the difference.

    I love it when you go back to the raw basics. It shows just how tough it is with no food, water and putting up with all the snakes and other wild life. It makes you appreciate life. Thank you Scotty for sharing your adventures, keep ‘em’ coming. Take care, be safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

    Absolutely brilliant Scotty, love these type of videos you do. It’s interesting to see how different your environment is to here in the UK, different species & wildlife. The great thing is, despite the differences the core bushcraft, survival skills are still the same principles, water, shelter, food & if you can fire 🔥, difficulty in fire here as it’s very wet & damp. Enjoy the summertime mate. 🙌 Andy 🙌

  • @frithfiver

    This is such a great video. I love that you lay the ground rules for taking only small amounts from the bush and leaving it as you found it (even though it should go without saying).
    Also it's so great to see plants I recognise as an Aussie - it can be tricky to find Australian survival content! Keep it up :)

    Quite a challenge there. Your knowledge of the safe plants to eat is definitely helpful. The creepy crawlers and wildlife at night would totally freak me out. Have you ever tried survival camping for longer periods of time? Say like a week or so? The hamburger and chips would taste bloody good after that! Enjoyed the video. HooRoo from Wisconsin, USA!

    • @ScottysGoneWalkabout

    Well done Scotty. I've been keen to try out a coastal survival trip .. but going more inland feels a bit intimidating .. just feels like food takes a bit more work away from the coast and you certainly need to know your bush tucker knowledge. So I'm really impressed with what you have achieved here.

    • @ScottysGoneWalkabout
      @ScottysGoneWalkabout  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thanks heaps mate. Yeah getting protein on the coast is fairly easy, it definitely become trickier the further inland you go. If I had more time, I would have looked for wood boring grubs. They can be pretty tasty cooked out hot coals. And if there's a creek near by, you can pretty much always count on eels. Keen to see a vid of you having a go at it.
