Congrats on 1000. I subscribed a couple months ago and have watched nearly all your videos and have enjoyed them all. Looking forward to seeing more in the future. Thanks, Pete. PS. I've had some memorable camping trips when the weather was bad and I was set up comfortably under my awning. We have to take it as it comes, cheers.
Gotta love the weather up the high country. Can get ya by surprise sometimes. I seen a bush tv stubby holder when I fuelled up at licola last week. Congratulations on the 1k mate 👍
Good stuff buddy, yeah unfortunately rubbish is becoming a big problem everywhere, thanks for picking it up, was a nice downpour you had, congrats on 1000 subs 🎉
Have been watching your videos for a while now and love them. Nice adventure and background scenery. You are doing a very good job by introducing a Victorian high country to new people like me. Now I can go places that I never visited in Victoria. 👍 Many thanks
Great video again mate. Shows just how much the conditions dictate how your adventures go. Went out on a 3 day trip in the VHC the week before Christmas 2022 & it was awesome weather for the first two & a half days. Once it looked like turning we packed up & finished off going past Craig's Hut & ended up finding the track to Razorback when I pulled over for a quick toilet stop at that very point. Went in for a look & the conditions there were perfect again. We decided to stay the extra night because we had the entire place to ourselves & we'd never actually stayed in a Hut before, only visited. Sitting around the fire on the log chairs listening to music the heavens lit up the sky & the most chilling thunder clap followed almost immediately after. Then these waterbomb size rain drops started to come down. Within less than a minute we were scrambling to get everything & run to the Hut. Turned out that we were extremely lucky to have the Hut or our campsite would have been smashed. It was the most epic rainstorm event that I had ever seen! Kept me awake all night. Lightning, thunder like you never hear unless you are up that high, tree felling winds (the trees were surrounding us at the end cabin with the double bed were dancing side to side) & buckets of rain. It was beautiful & scary at the same time. It rained all night & the rain was dancing on the ground in movements like a huge flock of birds flying around with the swirling wind the next morning. We ended up having to stay until the early evening of the next day waiting for the track out to dry up & even the tourist road (can't remember the name) so we wouldn't slip & slide everywhere because there were many instant bogs. Never forget that trip & that storm for the rest of my days! Would you consider doing a damper cook up on the fire if you haven't already? If you have, can you please let me know which video has that in it? Cheers. Catch you on the next one mate.
G'day James, Sounds like you witnessed the true change of conditions up there mate. Pretty amazing and indeed scary at the same time knowing anything can happen at any time. If it had of been cold enough it would have been classed as a snow storm blizzard. The big trees always worry's me when it gets like that up there especially the big mountain ashes . I remember back in the original refuge hut days (before in burnt down in 2007) a mate and I woke up to a good down pour funny thing was all of a sudden it just turned silent and that was snow. Then camped down at Bindaree hut I've heard some big trees hit the deck in the distance while just sitting there in the camp chair around a fire very scary. This is one old video when I made scones mate (almost a damper) but I didn't use beer haha. There was another video but I think I re edited the Damper out not sure but I couldn't find that one. th-cam.com/video/08F9HCopkTw/w-d-xo.html
@@Bush-Tv Thanks mate. I'll check the video in the link soon. I'm with you in regards to the big trees. Terrifying when you are sitting at camp or out walking & branches or trees are dropping. I had a branch that would have been 1 tonne minimum just drop at Toorongo Falls campground just last year. & it was a perfect day with very little to no wind whatsoever. They are accidents waiting to happen if you camp under them. & so many people still bloody does. Even when you recount stories of drops like that one. Catch you in the next video.
Great video. I really love the mateship. You havent seen your mate of 30 years for 1.5 years thanks to COVID, and it didnt matter. You were back to where you were before. Friends stand the true test of time. That high country storm too... Wowee! Loving your videos Bush TV, keep them coming 😊
Great honest content 👌 but heres a tip next time you cook pizza put the lid down on the coals warm it up a little put pizza on the lid then put the pot part over it upside down like an oven with more coals on the base basicly just use your camp upside down 👌see how it goes
Well it looks like you are getting a decent following so congrats for that and keep it going, now how about some fishing ??, nice camping spot with some rapids in the river ideal for trout, much better than Pizza I reckon hahaha, Cheers mate.
Thought I'd watch a bit of an older video of yours as I'm waiting for more new videos 😜 realised it said 1 year ago, and you started the video off by saying happy new year and that you've just hit 1000 subs. Now it's 2 weeks into the new year of 2025 and you have 10.8 k subs. Well done! 9.8k subs in a year! Keep up the awesome content, cheers 🍻
Bit late to the party but went through a huge storm in kevington camping along a river (can’t remember the name, it ran through kevington and woods point) I just hopped in my swag and slept during the storm, but bloody hell, suppose you did the right thing getting a stretcher, out at noojee I had a swag without a stretcher and was a bit late arriving so didn’t set up my awning and had an absolute downpour, more water than swag, you did well this trip
Hey mate just watching over some old videos of yours again haha. Do you use the stretcher much ? Or like the swag on the deck? Also what’s the swinging grill like (not your one) the one you used in this vid ? I was looking at grabbing one .
G'day mate, the stretcher is really good, it's a tad heavy bit worth it. O I only really use it if I'm in one spot for more than two nights ( just easier for me due to time) The swing away in this video is my mate's and in my opinion isn't the best quality mate
@@Bush-Tv thanks for the reply. Yeah I thought it looked a bit flimsy. I might get something made up I think similar to your one. Cheers mate. Looking for to the next video 👌🏽
G'day fella. I just found your channel & this is the first video of yours I have watched. Yeah yeah I gave the thumbs up & subscribed.. 10 points for taking rubish out bloke well done but faaaark I had to deduct a point because you put that stupid elevator music over the peaceful sounds of nature - Why ???? Ok ok I know it's not my video & you can do what you want.... Not a bad lookin bit of bush pizza maybe you should have been a Spiro ... Good ridgy didge camping without all the modern fang dangle BS... Ta Fanks for sharing .....Hoo Roo til next time
G'day mate, welcome to the Bush Tv 👍 Mate really glad you enjoy the video, plenty for you to go through and watch 👍 Enjoy mate and Big thanks for the comment 👍
That spot isn't National Park. The dog also isn't my dog. If I had a dog I wouldn't take it into national park. A mate got kicked out of a hut years ago due to his dog. So not recommended

Great video and hows that storm. Congrats on the 1k subs as well

Thanks very much mate, yeah I'll definitely try that one with the lid.
I needed to mm pre heat as well.
Cheers mate 👍
Have you ever done MacFarlane Flat Track?
Not as yet mate, definitely on the bucket list and close. Just not sure if it's open, I know Ingeegoodbee track is closed for good I think
Well it looks like you are getting a decent following so congrats for that and keep it going, now how about some fishing ??, nice camping spot with some rapids in the river ideal for trout, much better than Pizza I reckon hahaha, Cheers mate.
Thank you mate, I use to fresh water fish with my farther but don't get into it these days. That spot would be a great fishing hole that's for sure.

It was pretty lucky I had that stretcher that day mate.
I don't usually take it unless I camp for a good couple of days in the same spot
Just a bit of rain mate 😉😎
Yeah a little bit 😂👍

Do you have any issues with having a dog in national park campgrounds?
That spot isn't National Park. The dog also isn't my dog. If I had a dog I wouldn't take it into national park. A mate got kicked out of a hut years ago due to his dog. So not recommended
@@Bush-Tv
Ok they must have moved the boundary recently 😉
