lived the life for a few years, i know what you mean when you say you feel amazing. Healthy for the mind body and soul to be in nature full time off grid. Nothing compares. Well done.
Sweet vid Mick. . . Yeah, the smaller intimate parties can be quite enchanting. . . Blessings to the kombucha angels, man I love Darwin people. . . Happy Days. . .
Haha amazing doof !!! It was an incredible experience sharing the stage with you on fire spinning and working as a team !!! Well done with the video !!! 🎉🎉🎉
Last doof I went to some bloke danced in the same spot for three days and his feet dug a hole like a Meter deep. Just dancing away getting deeper and deeper into his hole.
Haha weird, i was just researching 4WD'S as im sick of driving my fiesta to doofs or renting campervans and i cam across this. Ive been doing doofs for oevr a decade and i love it. Funny thing is my mate flew from brisbane (thats where im at) and played this doof i think. Also, your light idea is great, normally i go overboard with lighting to find my way back. Oh and small festivals are my favourite, next week im playing a small one :)
UK free party head here. Have put on parties in squats, warehouses and in forests and beaches. Would love to come to OZ and come to one of your parties, looks like some awesome nature and people.
Been there during 2017/2020. Couldn't find anything as close as the bush party since then. The big clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin are great, of course, but i never had the same feeling of complete freedom. And the pills are way stronger back in Europe 😂
I had to stop doofing because I found out about the effect on wildlife. The bass freaks out birds who eject their babies from the nest in panic. I love dancing but that's not honouring the land, it's harming it. I realised I'd be respecting the land by dancing indoors where I don't affect any animals so that's what I do 💚
never looked at it like that, i always felt psytrance belongs outside imo. its actually part of the reason i have never been interested to go to a doof. prefer old concrete basement raves in a city, techno, dnb, dubstep, ukg or gabba.
I doubt it man. Birds live in the cities too mate, if they were that scared of noise, they wouldn't exist. There's a lot of propaganda doing the rounds, especially when it comes to alternative lifestyles, as soon as you go against the grain, those who don't understand will do anything they can to derail it and get you back to their way of thinking.
@@JonSnow-hr6iw me part to em I reckon. When you think about it, the closest we'll ever get to true freedom is when we were children who didn't know anything and just liked to explore and have fun with no prejudice or judgement.
@@JonSnow-hr6iw certain birds. Not a majority of species. Most of them could never live in a city or near people. Do you know how many species of birds there are!!
The music was epic ..! Just wondering if you know of any Doof’s in Adelaide in the next asap.. ? I’m finally at a stage in life where I can freely enjoy the space again .. I really miss those times in the back hills of Byron. Then some along coastal beaches in SA. 🎉We had to wait to hear directions along the way.. Adelaide hills also had some great Doof’s when they were all the go for us old farts to enjoy .. or expressing our fancy foot work. 😮 To do this now means clubbing . 🫣😵💫🤠 So any ideas on the next events down in SA -outdoors dancing would be appreciated and greatly … travel safe and healthy Gr8 to see someone else being their true self they were born to be .. not fitting in to fit in .. 🌈🌸🌼🌺🌹
Cheers for watching, not sure about Adelaide doofs, havent spend much time that way. try the facebook groups, should be one for that area. Byron has a great community especially for doofs, miss it too! Thanks for your lovely words, cheers Mick
Wish we could all forever live life as if we're in our early 20's. Eventually I had to take on responsibility and think about a stable future in this unforgiving monotone society. More so now that I have a 3 year old son, with whom I'd do anything to make sure he has as many opportunities as possible on his way to adulthood.
I feel that, I have two daughters. Then I remember growing up as a kid, my Uncle Steve lived in a mud house with no doors, he has great bush knowledge from Indigenous people and agriculture and he'd take us out bush and show us a different way of thinking. I look back and think, "Geez, what happened"? This isn't life in 20's to me, this is the future. City life or career life just ties us down to possessions, which I spent my 20's chasing, living a life that was unfulfilling and miserable. The trappings leave people dissatisfied and depressed, medicated just to get through the day. Some people can live within that system without letting it affect them, but many cannot. Don't be afraid to show your kid how to live outside the box, there's more ways to get out and earn money than there ever has been.
Mate , kudos too for going in on this crazy journey of life in oz ! It’s such a risky life to life nowadays. I’m 3/4 the way through raising a child coming from an adventure background with my wife before our daughter came along . We have done the same thing as you , made our life and as soon as beloved daughter flys in her own wings we’ll revert straight back to adventure life , but smaller and more efficient than last time ! lol we had a 40 tassie cray boat and it was a lot of work ❤you’ll get your chance again mate , just keep doing the outdoor lifestyle at any opportunity you can and keep it cheap and simple . Cheers mate
Great video, mate. Such a different lifestyle to what I live, but it looks like it suits you well. I'm a big time psytrance fan but still haven't made it to a bush doof yet! This needs to change!
Noticed the eye twitch, nothing serious I had the same thing! Turns out I was a little low on Magnesium, being on the road might be hard to get all the essential vitamins and minerals in. Simple multi vitamin should keep you sweet. Anyways loved the video keep it up!
Hey Mick.. If you are having issues with bells palsy still, get your hands on some comfrey oil and massage it around the facial nerve and you should come good. Plenty of hippies around I am sure u will find someone with Pachamamas medicine ❤
Same! My favourite time to people watch was always dawn. All the oddballs find their way to the dancefloor and it's beautiful to watch them just do their thing
I have been going to doofs for 20 + years and i loved them, was always in front of the speakers feeling that bass. In this time the internet was just discovered and growing. Doof partys in Australia were very rare to find and keeped more of a secret. The Internet and social media has destroyed this scene in my opinion, considering all these parties were small local parties that had a few international DJs now they exploited into big festivals even that these local small do were 3-4 day festivals. They weren’t as commercial as they are now and in my opinion, I find them quite fake now. I loved to dance in the mud even swimming in the mud listening to some good psytrance but you can’t do that anymore not unless you have law enforcement or others think they’re trying to have fun. Sorry but that’s my opinion on the same at the moment. My very first stuff was exodus 2003 years which was a 3-4 day in Tenterfrild, New South Wales and it was one of yhe last of few exodus festivals, due to change of scenery, overdose, that corrupted into violence, and then everything changed, and went downhill from there no more underground world of psytrance in Australia. Very sad 😢 It’s like the rest of the world. It’s now too overpopulated.
G’day Mick, I can’t seem to find the link to your fire spinning courses. I’ve followed your links from in the description, which took me over to Instagram, and then back here.
Its gotta be ironicly funny that when your a fire twirler youve gotta have dreds and do it shirtless haha, we have one up in qld to lol same look hahaha.
doofs are just phase in your life dont get too attached to the lifestyle, glad to be on the other side now but thats not to say i wouldnt go to one in the future
I 2nd this. Was caught up in the scene for 2 years, driving up to 6 hours regularly every weekend to go the various doofs scattered across Queensland. It's actually really hard to get out of it if it becomes your identity, you're well connected, and all your mates continue to go to every one they can find. I felt the closest to the friends I made at doofs compared to any other point in my life. To suddenly say 'this is enough' when all your mates still want to keep going, is one of the hardest things I've had to give up. Will still go twice a year, max though.
Lol this comment section. I can understand trying to keep things tight, but not everything is under control of even private communities, and this video is an invite. Don't get me wrong, i have known and know many good groups of people, but its easy for shit to go wrong. Anyways as somone else said, small doofs for the win.
lived the life for a few years, i know what you mean when you say you feel amazing. Healthy for the mind body and soul to be in nature full time off grid. Nothing compares. Well done.

Great video
happy bornday bro, loved the light pole to know where camp is, how good were the vibes there and what did it cost for a ticket?
thanks bro, the vibe was amazing, I always find that the community at these events is welcoming and very friendly, tickets were $150.
Loved the long tune montage! Good mix of vlog and watching a Dj mix
thank you my bro, glad you enjoyed it
Oath Mick, absolute legend

Used to be a local doof every month or so around here when I was younger.
