Amazing
No predators in Australia mate, you can camp anywhere safely. Odd snake - no prob. Crocs up north - keep away from the water
Looked it up on map , I new , near Woga Woga , river river , were two rivers meet .
You need an Aussie Gin sponsor mate 👍🏻😀
I agree about the hunters dealing with the feral animals. But, hunters usually make a huge mess when they camp 😕
The camera/drone work in this video was AMAZING , thank you....
Scotty I wanted to thank you for what you do. I’ve been dealing with a divorce, loosing my home, custody court fights, and a load of other issues. Watching your videos reminds me of how amazing just being alive is. As a result I’ve purchased my first backpack and tarp and am working up my endurance to go on a weekend trip with my camera to enjoy exploring the outdoors. So thank you for the motivation from the bottom of my heart. Keep doing you.
Hang in there Salty, you will get through the mess that can be a divorce. Get out in the bush…GOOD MOVE!
Chin up big marn.
Head down arse up. Get moving, the smiles at the end of the day will be worth it. Good luck with your tough times and I hope it works out for all of you.
keepth faith in yourself life goes on as for kids they always come back
Sounds like some tough times. I've been there. Camping is the best thing ive ever done when things got hard. Don't give up.
💯% Scotty, we definitely need to allow hunters into all national parks. It's not only pigs that are doing damage but deer are hugely apart of the problem. Love your work mate
Agreed.
And feral cats and dogs are a MAJOR problem. Hunters save so much native wildlife each year by eradicating these pests
The sound of butcher birds and magpies at first light is one of the best things about waking up in the bush.
I am in awe Scotty. I wish my 70-year-old knees could carry me into areas in which you hike. I so enjoy your videos. Keep going young fella.
My dad had double knee replacements within 6 weeks of each other at 67 years old. You should get those knee replacements so you can be active again. My dad got them done so he wouldn't be in your exact predicament.
get out there bludger
@@grimreaper6112 I hope you reap what your tag suggests sh*tlips.
Hi Scotty, I am with you, the sooner we bring back recreational hunters the better. Anybody that doesn't agree doesn't spend enough time in the bush. Another beautiful location, thanks for sharing the adventure.
Recreational hunter, there is no such thing! Hunters do so to eat and live. There are recreational shooters who do just do that: shoot! They won't solve the problem because they want their quarry to be there forever!
@@eleanorwright4778 I am going to share a story with you. During the 1980's the Hattah-Kulkyne National Park had a huge over population of kangaroos, These roos were destroying the fragile balance of flora and fauna in the park, they were responsible for the almost extinction of the Mallee fowl. It was decided that as summer was approaching and the park was in the midst of drought they would have to cull some roos. Protestors from Melbourne travelled to the park causing a massive shit storm that ended up with the park cancelling the cull. 4 months later up to 50,000 Roos died of starvation. I lived in the area and experienced first hand the slow painful death these animals were subjected to. Caused by city folk who in their ignorant and righteous indignation were totally to blame. None of these do-gooders bothered to travel back to the park to see the suffering they had caused to these poor creatures and many other species in the park. I sincerely hope you never get to see this, because you will never get those images out of your mind. Get real and get informed, the damage down to our glorious National parks by introduced feral animals is exploding right across this country. Thank god we have conservationists like Scotty who is out in these locations seeing first hand the damage being done.
Its not lost on me how much effort goes into making these films. For a one-man crew its epic to the last, well done Scotty, you have a beautiful country!
And a beautiful soul..
I hate pulling up to camp and filming. I couldn't imagine hiking for hours and filming haha
Agree 100% with allowing hunters to assist with eradication of pests in Australia. Unfortunately due to so much red tape and political pushback, the pests will continue to destroy our native land. Thank you for shining light on the issue 💜
I understand people not wanting to personally take part in hunting, but anyone against it, particularly from a conversation standpoint, is just uneducated on the subject. We’ve been fighting for this for years. Great to hear someone with a platform talking about it, even if so briefly. Cheers Scott
Scotty another wonderful adventure mate . Recreational hunting in national parks is a very good idea for feral animal control .
Hey Scotty, reckon you could do a special and tell us about your most eerie moments over the years out camping. Like Yowies, or unsettling feelings out by yourself. So keen to hear that kind of stuff 🤌🏾
He's done one video previously where he talks about one odd experience
Great idea @Shae Lui 🔥 Please Scotty this needs to be done! 💯
I think the same thing every time I watch Scotty journey across NSW …
Don’t forget to include the drop bears & bunyips.
I think most of us know .. or have even experienced something very strange yet awesome is out there.…. Also including perhaps ufo’s etc …. For the open minded of course 🤩
We love and appreciate you, Scotty! Love to you, Laura, and to everyone reading this. (My name is also Laura!)
We will heal ourselves and this glorious planet, eh. #TheGreatAwakening
Your thoughts on the hunting issue I whole heartedly agree with.. it just seems sensible and would raise funds and can be done responsibly.. I actually sat up and pointed at the TV yes !! Somebody agrees with 🤣
Great vid Scotty! Yes to hunters in Nat. Parks and I'm glad you're keeping the 'Hooroo' alive.
I’m from Queensland and I hike remotely in the rainforest…. I’ve walked through a certain area of rainforest up here and seen over 100 pigs nests/burrows in the space of a few hours. It’s a real problem. I wouldn’t hunt personally but I have had similar thoughts about getting rid of the pigs.
Another beautiful vid, mate. Bloody well done. Worth every cent to be able to share those images from the sky. Thank you 🙏
Responsible hunting keeps balance. I think your idea is a good one.
"I'm buggered... nothing too special tonight"... proceeds to make an incredibly tasty looking meal. Legend.
Ha! I knew it was going to rain. Hearing the black cockatoos was the give away. Nature has its own weather forecast. Oh and so does my knee lol.
Every time I hear those black cockatoos...at home I'd batten down the hatches.
Great drone shots, rays of sunlight through fog, animals hopping, scooting and climbing, beautiful spider web! This vid has it all! Well done!
Australia looks insane to explore around. Always a fun time watching these videos!
It is the grazing and trampling from large herbivores, both native and introduced, that creates the "parkland" environment that we all enjoy. Remove them and you end up with an overgrown bushland full of bugs. What is often described as "damage" is only a part of the natural process and is rarely permanent. Remember there were many species of very large herbivores in Australia in the past; after they went extinct their impact on the environment was replaced by aborigine-managed fires. Currently large introduced herbivores are doing the same sort of work.
Conservation is land management. Good call mate. Hunting is looking after our environment. Excellent call Scotty. Thumb up champ
YES!
Thank you for bringing up hunting/pest control in national parks. As a hunter myself, it's so refreshing to hear someone such as yourself bring this up.
Anyone who doesn't agree, doesn't spend enough time outdoors, and are actually apart of the problem.
And FYI, you didn't see two pigs last night. You seen dozens per year walk past. The way they breed, it's insane.
Cmon Scotty, please give us a hint.. where was that?!? It’s gorgeous country!!
hey scotty, i think that Your opinion on recreational hunting and conservation is the best way forward for the australian outback, it seems to be working in alot of places across america and i actually wasnt aware that we dont that here. love the videos and really appreciate you stating the fact that you have completely changed your view of hunting because i did the same thing once i educated myself a little more. anyway good work man keep it up
Cant believe how beautiful this landscape is, thx for showing your trips in such a well edited way!
I am overseas but I love this extraordinary country !!🤙🤙
Love ya enthusiasm strolling through the bush of this vast and timeless land. Magic part of the planet. Why the buggars want to go to Mars has got me beat. Heheeh
Your hunting idea makes perfect sense Scotty ,and that is why it would never be allowed.
After walking almost 100km through Muddus National Park in the far north of Sweden near the arctic circle last week, I'll be glad to get back home to Australia and camp like Scotty again...
Great video Scott. As someone who has also adventured for years I completely agree that more can be done to lower the number of feral species. Recreational hunting would make a real difference at a far lesser cost to what the government currently spends.
Great Idea with the hunting to reduce the feral animals, I'm a hunter form VIC and we hunt some National Parks and state forests for feral animals and take the meat out to feed our Family and friends. Love your vids, you get into some awesome places, keep up the good work Cheers Mark
i agree on the hunting. besides 'kill to eat' there could also be 'tranq and tag' to see where and how species live in the parks which would be good for education and safety of newbie campers.
In the states, it's free reign on the pigs. For alligators, that is controlled, but the hunters do eat the meat and use the pelts to make things and sell them. All the people who have a problem with it, don't spend any time in the wild and do not understand. There have always been hunters in my family and I get it.
Hey mate, just wanted to say how much I like your content, I've never hunted, and yet I agree 100%
Another ripper video mate, also totally agree with the hunting part, keep up the great work 🤠👍👍
Another awesome episode Scotty, keep them coming. What a magical spot, such a pleasure to see it through your eyes and lens. 100% agree with the idea of rec hunters in certain National parks, it’s a no- brainer as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for taking us there.
Hi Scotty, great episode, have been following you for quite a while mate. 100% agree with what you said about hunting of feral animals and how recreational hunters could be used to help solve this issue. It needs to be done the correct way and unfortunately up until now there has been lots of individuals involved in hunting that don't respect the animals or the environment they come from, but with the great hunting community now, this is beginning to change. With the right recreational hunters this idea could benefit everyone and hunting could be done in a more humane way rather than a helicopter leaving an animal wounded and wasted. Thanks Scotty for you respectful take on this issue. Cheers 🤙
100% scotty hit the nail on the head with the hunting topic!
All the rain we have had in the last year has not gone to waste on this beautiful piece of earth … so much green and moisture and flowing rivers have all the wild life thriving and looking spectacular…. Truely a magical spot to explore …. Talk about a sensory overload … thank you Scotty for taking us on your adventure to what looks like a wonderland ..
Bloody legend, what a beautiful episode. 106K!! 200K here we come. Get around this bloke.
I really like videos. Your cooking and the fact you don’t use all that freeze dried marketed food. So much plastic and waste. Your respect for the first Australians and education about how to treat the bush when you visit.
I agree totally about the hunters!
💚💚 WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AREA TO CAMP IN
What a beautiful part of Australia that is Scotty. It has it all and the abundance of wildlife is incredible. I'm with you on the need to selectively eradicate ferral animals mate. I live in an area being devistated by them and what you suggest should have been programmed years ago. Hope you get back there sooner rather than later zs i'd sure like to see more of those sandstone cliffs. Bushyboy Oz.
Agree with you mate, hunters can and should be allowed to control the problem
Totally agree with the idea of recreational hunters to cull the feral animals, works well in nz
love your ideas on hunting,i remember the pig damage we saw when hiking in the Carnarvon gorge.
I was in Carnavon George in July and had a run in with a pig. Quite scary. Lots of damage there from the pigs. They should definitely be culled!
Well done again, I support your view with regard to controlling the introduced species.
Another great video, i absolutely love the way you edit its so captivating. Very soothing to the soul, well done cant wait for your next trip. Your channel is my favorite on youtube
That does the heart good. Thanks Scotty. Beautiful shots, of a beautiful country. Wiradjuri country.
Totally agree with letting the hunters in national parks for pest control.Good on you for bringing it up
Scotty you're right about controlling hogs. They're prolific and very destructive. Good luck convincing those who never venture out.
All the best mate!
Wow those scenes! The landscape is absolutely unreal Scotty . Cannot believe we live on this beautiful land we call Australia home .
100% agree with a managed approach to recreational hunting of feral animals. Down here in the Victorian high country feral deer are running rampant and causing massive amounts of destruction. Their numbers have exploded in recent years.
I agree with what you’re saying Scotty. We walked through Oxley Wild Rivers NP and the destruction from the wild pigs was so sad to see, we were really concerned about erosion along the creek we were walking along. We’ve heard wild pigs while out camping in national parks inland of the sunny coast too. I wouldn’t hunt them myself but if we could bring in more professionals in a recreational manner and like you said, actually use the meat - that’s definitely a win for our national parks.
Just beautiful. You can feel the essence of the place in your video.
Thanks for another great video Scott. I'm with you on the hunting. I grew up in New Zealand where hunting is normal in National Parks. Our family belonged to the deerstalkers' association even though we weren't hunters ourselves because they had really cheap lodges to stay at when we were going tramping, and the blokes were always really friendly with us kids, top blokes. Recreational hunting does help keep feral populations down and safety issues can be managed. The introduction would need to be carefully managed, since we don't have the same experience in the community here.
Beautiful country Scotty. Agree regarding the hunting of feral animals by permit system. They do that quite effectively in the States from what I’ve seen/heard, I guess as you say it’s a touchy subject.
Scotty love the videos. I’m all for allowing recreational hunters in to control feral animals, and like you I was once anti hunting until I saw the light.
So beautiful . Thank you so very much of uploading your beautiful video.
I'm a contract & recreational shooter mate and i totally agree with your stance on opening the National Parks to hunters to control and manage the feral animal species
Wonderful film of what looks/sounds like a most beautiful, special place (day dreaming in the UK). Forget at times it's a 1 man shoot. Always intrigued by how much you squeeze in your bag and would love to get a similar hat.
One of your best yet mate! That spiders web was insanely beautiful! Couldn’t do better with a computer.
One of the best places yet I think.
After watching the first time I replayed it again and closed my eyes and listened to all the wildlife in the background it is such an amazing area.
Hey scotty I love that you cook real food!!! Not that prepackaged stuff they sell in sporting goods stores. Ever thought of doing a cooking video???
Thanks Scotty. You've always helped me in general enjoying your video's. Love it any time but especially when if had a bad day, your efforts help claim my crazy head before bed time. You've definitely helped me get more needed hours of sleep. I struggle like a lot of other with shiet load of anxiety so thanks again. Hopefully gonna get some therapy tomorrow bye taking my man's best friend for a bush walk, plus chuck on the bag for some we'll need exercise. Wouldn't of thought about it without you. 👍
Good call Scotty ,we need to rid all the damaging animals that have made their way into the native bush. Have some balance.
ooh, i love the echoing bird calls in the morning. Especially that strike thrush is so musical
Awesome video again mate👍 and I for one totally agree on your hunting opinions! I live near a national park that is getting destroyed by feral animals. And as a hunter myself feel that what you said would be a perfect resolution to this problem!
I laughed so hard at the drinking game idea 😂 My thoughts and prayer are with your friend after he watches this video ;)
32:40 We Like Hunting ! Let's Go!
Great vid Scotty. I happened to go to that same spot in July and loved it. The walk in made it feel like miles from anyone, and the rugged ranges and sandstone cliffs were spectacular. Getting in the water was pretty fun too - albiet freezing... Definately one to revisit.
That sounds like an awesome experience! Out of curiosity, where is this national park?
Cheers
@@newsouthtrails Was thinking the same thing
Nice video. You're absolutely right about the invasive species issues and hunting being an effective solution. Hunters are true conservationists!
Beautiful country
I didn't follow you for a while and forgot how beautiful are the video you make ....
With my sawyer mini filter I bought a pack of three spare pouches that I use as a reservoir for the tent site= 3 litres extra without a hike to water supply. In my case recently a filtered tap 5 minutes walk away. What a mighty bit of aus, very watchable. Thank you.
Hi Scotty i agree with your idea of hunters being used gor ferral animals even pig traps with cameras to be able to view when the trap is closed and the hunters get there quickly to dispose of them as you suggested the meat can be used
Another great video mate, and I 100% agree with you with the hunting, they do it that way in America and it works really well, hopefully np wakes up and sees there way of “controlling” feral animals is outdated and in affective, anyway keep up the great work mate.
agree wholeheartely about allowing recreational shooting of non-inginous animals
The hunting idea is sweet.
Awesome, as always! Happy Spring as wdcenjoy a beautiful Autumn here in Canada. 👍😎🇨🇦🍂🍁📷
Another fantastic video Scott. properly show casing the Aussie bush.
100% agree, need to let hunters into National Parks to help with conservation efforts
The scenery and the birds are amazing...it is absolutely unreal how beautiful your world there is...that is THEIR HOME...NOT HUMANS. but man only thinks KILL
It may be a kookaburra feather, I was thinking straight off the bat 🧐 love some of the shots ya get of the good old Aussie bush 👌
Your love of adventure and the natural environment flows straight through the lens to us. Keep on "keeping it simple" and
achievable.
You should lead a group trip! could be a good money maker
Thanks again Scotty !
Hi Scotty I love your work. Keep up the gorgeous comments etc. I love it - let those people get as drunk as they like while watching it. Gives them an excuse for a drink I guess. As a bushwalker myself, I also see the damage done by deer, goats pigs and feral horses. They do need cleaning up to protect our unique bushlands. Definitely a great idea to involve hunting clubs etc under the control of rangers in our national parks. Keep on keeping on...
Brilliant thanks Scotty 👍
Would love to see a week long video
YOU SHOULD BRING THE A TRAIL CAM TO USE AT CAMP
THAT WAY YOU CAN SEE WHO VISITED YOU WHILE ASLEEP
Scotty this was my favourite start to a video you’ve put out to date! Awesome
Beautiful morning bird song, gorgeous misty light and so much wildlife. What a lovely place. Great video again, as always.
This is truly beautiful!
Thankyou for sharing 😄
Scotty you are seriously a legend. Your love of the bush and life is so special. Love watching your content and truly wish you all the best in growing your channel.
Awesomeness Thankyou
