IScotty and Mattsy combined credit lads from begging to end just perfectly captures one of those trips when a couple good blokes set out on what is just one of those trips. Lugging your gear downhill in heat, the river with varying challenges mishap and i think what is truly unforortune is Mattsy having lost his footage and ability to collaborate his own episode and just hope that like myself have already subscribed to his channel and just as many people get to see it as two mates and a trip I think you will both remember. The ups n downs bumps tips Scotty catching fish few beverages sense of seedy mornings and a first ever coffee tasting hahaha Bloody legends .
Hi Scotty, Just watched this. Awesome journey. Could you let us know who the guy is singing about 40 minutes through. He is so haunting. We are in WA and I know Salty Davenport also uses his music for his videos. He sings It's twenty to 12........
Great to watch the improvement of your paddling. Next steps: lean into an obstacle so the river doesn’t flood your boat and tip you (ie present the underside of your boat to the upstream flow); wear your helmet it’s easier than you think to clonk your noggin; avoid standing in rapids (even experienced kayakers have drowned this way)
I do recommend using your helmets in fast waters. Hitting your head on a rock at 35 km per hour means serious injury. It's a knock out punch from a heavyweight boxer.
I'm sitting here watching you go down those white water rapids and realised I had the biggest smile on my face. Your videos are great and you are extremely talented. Thank you for the hours and hours of entertainment and enjoyment you bring
Making those decisions on the fly with a trevel buddy is just about the best part of adventuring to me. You both recognize the possibility of more but are content with the beauty you have in front of you now.
Two of Oz’s best you tube channels together. That place looks amazing. Would love to have access to places like that up here in central Qld. The more I watch of both your channels the more I know when I have got on top of all the hurdles life has thrown my way and I can get some more equipment I am getting out there and sharing this beautiful country of ours as you two boys are doing. Keep them coming guys.
Excellent adventure! But you are spot on about Gin being the drink of old English women, there is an old slang term for Gin here in England 'Mother's Ruin'!
Nice, I did the trip 1989. Started at Capertee and spent the first two days walking and dragging the rafts over rocks. Once we hit the confluence of the Wollemi river we got plenty of water. Great camp site along the way.
Great footage. Brings back the memories from years ago when me and my University friends did a multi day trip on li-los from six brothers to Canoe creek.
I did this trip about 20 years ago, it was the best backpacking experience of my life. Absolutely pristine wilderness, it was easy to believe you were the first people ever to have traversed the landscape. When we did it the river wasn't flowing, it was a series of still ponds so we'd spend half-an-hour paddling, then half-an-hour hauling everything across the rocks to the next pond. There was no flow at all and no rapids like these guys encountered. After 7days we were still short of the end so we walked out via Thomson's Track. We came back the next year to finish the route and there was more water then, more like we see in this video. We had a couple of great fish meals, too, and at least we didn't lose any of our gear.
@@2jza70 Scotty plays it pretty close to his chest, doesn't he? It's Colo River, north-west of Sydney. We drove to the council camping ground and the ranger very kindly offered to drive us up the mountain to our start point. It was a great trip.
Mate don't take haters personal... God knows what mental health issues they have... Do what you do you can not change how people are... You are appreciated! 👍
I am new here and LOVE it Tons.... I crack up laughing because according to you every place you visit is the MOST beautiful place you have ever been!! Even funnier is that you are RIGHT!!
Bloody Epic Aussie Pack Rafting Adventure Movie Boys!! You've outdone yourselves. So good that you both got out there, looked like an absolute ball! The banter was hilarious!! I feel for you Mattsy, I'm gutted that you lost your GoPro, as the scenery, river, white water and the food was just amazing. Still can't believe you got Scotty to try out a coffee Mattsy! (Your evil plan to turn him to the dark side is working! Bahahaha!!). Thanks for taking us for a mad adventure Guys!
Did this trek back in 97 on a blow-up single mattress, in the middle of summer, we lost the trail & went down the side of the mountain via rope (sketchy). What was meant to be 3 days was 5 days. hitched back to the car, man meat pies & coke never tasted better, wonderful trip tho..
1000% lovin this Scotty and Silly Swagman!! Thanks again for all you do to showcase Aus! And for respecting and being advocates of the great outdoors!! I can’t get enough of it and enough of your content!! Keep it coming mate!! Whoooo! 🤙🏿🤙🏿❤️
Huge fan of your channel. I am always excited when a new video drops. Your videos are always epic and make me want to reach for my pack and head out the door. Watching you from Michigan in the US. We have tons of beautiful woods and national forests here, but you are making me want to come check out the Australian bush! Keep up the awesome work.
Hay mate did atrip up there about 35 years ago we walked in up stream from canoe creek in the dark and rain think the track is still there . We did it in blow up K mart rafts just made do with what we could get those rafts you've got look awesome. We exited at canoe creek. Such an awesome spot still looks exactly the same. So many rivers in NSW for adventures. Great videos would loved to have filmed it back them great memories
Ohhh… the second morning’s first shot of the clouds floating by the mountain. That made my day! Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures, and the beauty of your country.❤️
Well done guys , what an awesome trip. Great too see you 2 doing a collaboration. Can’t wait for more. Picked a pretty epic river to start your pack rafting in a well 👍👍👍.
Just wanted to chime in and say that I have been drinking GT since I was 18 and it is still my goto drink of choice (unless an old single malt whiskey is on the table) and I am 31 today :)
I love your enthusiasm and love for nature 💚 it really shines through in your videos! It also inspires you to get out there and enjoy our beautiful country and have an adventure! Great video looked like loads of fun and beautiful location 🌿🏞
Laughed hard at you and your first coffee. I couldn't do a trip like that without my twice a day coffee. You'll have to go and try a really good espresso based cup.
Nice one guys 🤙 that’s the short way though… you can actually start the at glen Davis in the capertee river and go right through… it takes 14 days and a little setting up with food caches, I put one in at wollemi creek to get me home to rickety bridge. If it’s flowing a bit like it is then it might only take 11 days. Well just an idea, good on you guys 👍 if you need anymore information let me know, I’ve grown up in those canyons
What an adventure! Thanks for sharing it with us. Your friend has quite a sense of humor. Had me chuckling. So awful that he lost his GoPro & other things! Nice job of videoing all that great scenery. I've done some rafting over rapids with large boulders like you had. I can appreciate what it takes to get thru them. But so fun & challenging. Great trip to share with your friend! Take care & stay safe.
As a 38 year old I can confirm that you're not the only under 40 g and t drinker mate. Bloody great video! And Mattsy has scored himself a new subscriber!
Oh my god , im wondering. Oh god i cant say it! I dont want to ask it but jeeze , it certainly looks it . I guess you boys had some epic bonding moments . Dont treat it so roughly and it won't tear as painfully!
Wow this was a amazing content you should doing this more often with your friend very laughing about you two Keep up the good content Scottie cheers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
its been almost 20 years since i done this with a bunnings blow up raft still the best memory of this river system i have to this day.... was even less water when i done it, right before the drought in 2004/05
Absolutely bloody epic. I’ve not laughed so much in a while. Sorry about the lost camera, maybe someone will find it in a couple hundreds years! Thanks for bringing me along with you blokes. Hopefully see your mate in another adventure, seems a great mate to have! Cheers 🍻 to you both, you legends. -Andy
I was at a man’s property at Wheeny Creek , upper Colo reserve and that was quite pretty . Colo river looks amazing and would love to visit it and the rest of Wollemi National Park .
Me and the missus did this same trek about a week ago during the big floods on rubber innertubes, water was about 5meters higher than this, we covered 30kms in a few hours though! Good fun 😁😁
only 1 minute in and I had to comment this is the best video i have ever seen already, what a combo. Can't wait for the rest. Anyway enough talk must keep watching.
What a great trip. Thanks for sharing. If you ever get the chance check out Oxley Wild Rivers National Park. Some dark history but also some of the best for wild scenery and animals.
G'day Scotty, what a truly awesome adventure.... Mate, thank you so much for sharing your trips, tips and knowledge with us all.... we are truly blessed with this amazing country we so proudly call home, and for people like yourself who so generously give their time to open it up for us......... CHEERS.... JB
Awesome trip Scotty thanks for the entertainment also you guys might want to invest in some lanyards they help with keeping oars and cameras in your possession instead of gifting them to the river.
Hey Scotty, Tip 1: Do yourself a great favour and purchase a 'FLEXTAILGEAR Max Pump 2 Pro' to inflate your raft. It will the best piece of Kit you purchase this year. Just brilliant. Tip 2: Carry a couple of hot glue sticks, they are great for patching air beds, dry sacks, and Ripstop nylon and many other materials.Tip 3: If you are not going to wear helmets, put up a warning for parents who have kids watching. Another awesome adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to the Coffee Club Scotty, can't get through a day without least one coffee! Those packrafts look sweet, super strong despite your pinhole! Another great video and certainly don't mind a long one..relaxing way to start the week..cheers!

I really wish you’d wear your helmets. You are 1 slip away from doing yourselves some serious damage there! Great to see you guys together.
What a cool trip

Loved this - I wouldn't mind seeing Erik off-track in a future trip too. I would enjoy the three of you enjoying a giggle and beer.
