Hey Scotty... Love the space you've created here mate. I enjoy each and every vid you make ! Thank-you for the effort.... :) Do you have a one stop shop or 'Amazon' Page where I can buy the gear you use without clicking on 100 different sites ? Thanks mate :)
The highest attainment of mastery of survival is , nudity with knife , that's it. That is the stupidest thing I ever seen on T.V. I prefer to at least have a Bic Lighter also.
Same! I'm studying up for a camping trip in NZ and most of these videos have northern hemisphere gear. Much as I'd love to camp around North America, something tells me I'm going to need a few different things for the South Pacific terrain :/
@@hannahshark8080 Most of the gear is gonna be similar, just essentially summer gear of the northern hemisphere. Though to be fair NZ is pretty much as close to European weather and conditions as you can get in the southern hemisphere anyway, on avg much colder and wetter than aus
Some of my favourite times were under the stars in Australia. Travelling around and listening to the magpies with their different accents. I'm looking forward to getting back their with my kids when they are old enough.
Onya Scotty, love your work mate. Even though I can't go out camping, watching your vids help so much. So in regard to your channel, "Im pretty happy with that". he he. Thank you, you bloody legend.
Reminds me of being in the Boy Scouts and with Marine Corps Infantry. I took that time for granted and miss being outdoors. Thanks for the time you took to talk about your kit
Thanks Scotty, nice work mate. One thing you could consider swapping is the orange cotton wrap for a an emergency space blanket/bivvy. Great bit of survival gear, keeps you warm and dry, cheap, light, high vis orange on the outside and reflective on the inside.
Awesome buddy thanks for that, great video and insight into your gear and why you have chosen what and the review on the quality. So happy to see the amount of Australian products you have in there aswell and hopefully this video clarifies for a lot for people what you need to take to be able to get out and enjoy this beautiful country we live in and inspired more people like me to do this when we are able to get back out again
Would love some more load out stuff and maybe some tricks and tips. How to set up your camp or whatever you think is valuable knowledge. Keep it up legend, love tagging along for the adventures.
One trick I picked up to counter all the drab green in my kit is flouro orange paracord. I tie loops to important pieces of the kit (tools etc) so when I do a visual check before leaving, anything potentially left behind stands out.
Great video and kit overview - thank you. Highly recommend Garman mini: sends emergency satellite signal as standalone also lets you text off phone or device. ACR great too just not 2 way - ACR ResQLink also sends radio signal + satellite so better to get you found 🙏😎
Nice one mate, great layout! Have to say, I'm glad you finally have some gaiters though! I've been using the Guagmires for more than ten years, awesome bit of kit that you won't regret!
Refreshing to see an Aussie doing kit for the Australian bush. I do a lot of hiking in the Himalayas, so I see a lot of Americans and others out on the trail. None of that ultra lite nonsense here.
I’m in the Rocky Mountains and have a lot of the same thing in my bag. And most of that gear came from when I lived in Texas so that’s a big difference. Crazy how well the same stuff works around the world for different people
Enjoyed the video and description of your load out! In reading some of the comments, I can never understand why some people have to decide what you should carry and how much weight. I carry a similar load out, it's my back not theirs and also my comfort when I get to camp and have the things I want and enjoy using. Subbed and liked!
Hello, Scotty! Wishes from Lithuania. Thank you for all your great videos. I've never been to Australia, but together with you I've seen a lot of it's wilderness and experienced great things. I am the biggest fan and waiting for new videos every day!! You could also describe filming what gear are you using right now.
Hey man nice load out very simulate to mine had the PLB about 6 years now never used it but nice piece of mind the LED lenser headlights are great I use one for work too. Keep the info coming and may see ya out bush one day 👍
FINALLY, someone who carries a PLB. yeah they are expensive. mine cost 387NZD but comes with a garuantee for 10 years. that equates to about 10.6 cents a day which quite frankly is well worth the investment when you compare it against my/your life
Great kit update mate, I've quite a few of these in my pack, my Silky Gomboy just got delivered yesterday, I'm looking forward to getting back out there and having a go with it too. Keep em coming Scotty.
I stumbled onto your channel via motorcycle wild camping videos that I have been enjoying of late. I have to say, watching your videos takes me back a bit when I with various mates used to go bush walking and camping a lot in the past. The organising of your gear is far better than what I used to do and good on you for taking nice food and some craft beers to enjoy. One thing I really don’t get and perhaps could comment on is why you use a tarp rather than a decent tent. I can’t for the life of me understand why you would, and down here in Tassie, a tarp wouldn’t cut it with our weather extremes. Alas I can’t go bushwalking far these days as my left knee is buggered (no cartilage left), but I do intend going motorcycle camping once I have the necessary gear. Anyway, keep making your videos they sure show what it’s like out in the bush.
If you're serious about wearing snake gaiters get some Moroko.30 gaiters, they are proven to be bite proof where as sea to summit isn't. Nice lot of kit too mate, thanks for the vid it keeps us going.
Hey paul - I was looking at Snake Protex gaiters. They claim to be totally snake proof and have great reviews. They weigh 800 grams though! Yikes. Have you tried the Moroko 30s?
I liked the look of that Kor knife. After I saw it in one of your previous videos I went to the website and had a look. I sent a email to him a couple of weeks back and I've heard nothing. I'm with you on the plate size too. I'd buy one if I could get a bigger size. I currently have the Pathfinder skillet with lid, it's awesome, but a little heavy. I've got that PLB too but I've also wondered about the Garmin In Reach and similar, but I think there's a monthly fee involved. Guys like you and Erik Off Track and a couple overseas boys have been both inspirational and educational and I've learned a lot. Thanks for yet another great video. 😃
Hey mate, Really sorry about that! Was the email sent through the contact on my website? If you are after any prices please send me an email to admin@korknifeandtool.com.au Cheers, Mitch
Great video mate. Rather than the orange cotton square I carry the same size orange builders plastic, it makes for a dry spot to sit on in damp conditions.
Really enjoy seeing a gear load out of quality products that I can believe you use, and all have a place in your pack. It’s frustrating to see videos like this where people have cheapo gear that I know doesn’t perform, or is just dead weight
Thanks for discussing the importance of a beacon. So many youtubers talking about the benefit of a bright cloth and whistle, but no one is going to see the cloth if they don't know to look for you!
Great video as always mate! If you’re thinking about the ‘In Reach’ capabilities I recommend the Garmin GpsMap 66i. Garmin has integrated it into their GPS Map 66i unit. The In Reach Explorer’s navigation and topo are not nearly as good as they dont use the same maps. My GPSMap 66i was only $150 (on sale) more than the Explorer. I have used the messaging features and navigation and it works very well. I would still carry your PLB as the the distress signals go to different agnecies. In Reach goes to GEOS, an International monitoring agency vs PLB goes to AMSA to coordinate rescues. The beauty of In Reach capability is communicating your issue/injury with GEOS or whoever you want. Keep up the great videos mate! Cheers 🍺
Nice video Scotty. A pretty solid kit there mate. I've used a poncho as a ground sheet before. It rained all night and I was left with a muddy, drenched poncho which was super annoying. I always take a dedicated ground sheet now.
mate, I've given away carring long trousers or extensions like your Mountain Designs. I've taken to wearing long shorts and carrying a pair of Darn Tough Winter socks that come up over my knee (and above the lower line of my long shorts) which keep me warm at night. I only wear the at night time but they weigh nothing. When its just windy, I put on my gaiters instead. Yeah, you look a bit doofus but its better than carrying extra weight and its dark anyway. I live in Qld so its possibly a bit easier for me to be cavalier about the cold but with a few alternative options that are already in my kit, I reckon I am happy enough saving weight. Love the vids! Keep them coming!
Love the loadout. If i was to add one thing it would be an IFAK. It's like a personal first aid kit but for stuff that's life threatening like bleeds and chest traumas if you fall or something like that. They are abkut 150 dollars hut definitely worth it for peace of mind. Otherwise just add aj arterial tourniquet. Tacmed is an aussie company that supplies that stuff. But also make sure you get the training for it too! Keep up the good work
Great kit sir, i love the knife, it's the only other knife apart from the Ray Mears Woodlore & Bushcraft knives that i would buy for bushcraft purposes as a lot of other knives in this category are just simply to big, so it's nice to see and thank you as i had never seen or heard of the company before. I am also amazed that all that fits in your pack, good on you m8.
I really enjoyed your video. I've seen other videos of yours and have always found them to be interesting. Since you have a problem with ants and other biting and stinging insects and spiders, have you ever considered a hammock with a built in bug net? I have several of them and don't see any way ants could enter. Here where I live we have more of a problem with mosquitoes and no-see-ums. No-see-ums are tiny and can typically get through all but the finest nets, so if the netting will keep them out, it will surely keep the smallest of ants out. I know DD makes some good Hammocks with bug nets. Sorry, not Aussie made, but not U.S. made either. I'm a patriotic U.S. citizen but I don't mind supporting our allies. I've also been taking a look at some Tasmanian Tiger backpacks as I don't mind supporting you guys down under and they seem to have some really tough gear.
G'day Scotty, you seem to have all the bases covered when it comes to gear, the only addition I can think of would be a Milbank filter bag, its light weight, folds up flat, easy to pack and if your Sawyer dies you have an alternative, two is one. As always another awesome video and stay safe 👍🏻🇦🇺
Enjoyed your video. Agawa Canyon just came out with a Boreal 15” saw. Makes it more practical for hiking versus car camping or short hikes using the 21”. Cheers
Great set of gear! But....I've seen some nature shows here in the USA and isn't Australia home to like the most very dangerous deadly bugs/snakes/critters ON EARTH??? Yeah...my bug net would be chain mail! Love that pack too!
Thanks for showing. Never thought an Aussie would sleep on the ground - you've got plenty of nasty creepers "down under". Aboriginals never go in the bush without a walking stick, how about you, didn't mention it. You chose orange for your sleeping pad and a bandana, for signalling as you said. Orange doesn't stand out as much in fall. On "Indian summer" in Canada you'll perfectly blend in with ALL your gear in bright orange (don't know, how fall looks like down under). A bright blue never shows up in nature, no matter where you are (maybe in the caribbean in shallow waters?), so you may consider changing the colour of your signalling devices. Stay safe Scotty, best regards from germany
Not a huge amount if deciduous trees in the Australian bush, even near the snow line. So orange stands out really well here. Maybe not as much in Central Australia in the red dust areas, but hiking there is very different.
Hey scotty, love your videos. I was wondering if you had a rough estimation of the base weight of your gear? I notice that you are super light in some areas but very heavy in others..eg. 2 saws but very little cooking equipment. Heavy ground sheet but super light on the tent/sleeping System. Are you treading the line of weight and durability or is some of this stuff just awesome and you don't care how much it weighs? I love that swaggies pantry but arguably 6 nalgene bottles would be lighter and more durable, while simultaneously having zero soul :D Not expecting a reply but would love to know more in another video sometime. Cheers and thanks for the great video.
I'd estimate well under 35lbs. My gear is 37lbs and has a lot more heavy stuff in it. If I were a guessing man I would put it at 28 lbs? Somewhere between 25-30lbs anyway. Even just an SOS emergency ration packs are over 1lb each and I carry 2. I also carry tons of redundant stuff for day hikes away from base camp. That way if I get stuck away from camp I won't freeze to death away from my main gear even if it starts raining cats and dogs. I even carry some compact food separate from my main food if I'm heading away for a while. So that should give you an idea how light his gear is.
Lovely kit. Thank you for sharing. Have subscribed and look forward to more vids. Only thing I’d add (but you may not need it) is a folding or spetnaz shovel.
nice set up Scotty. the only things missing are a good olight warrior x 2000 luman torch and a nice chance in hell machete for when you hear those footsteps walking around your camp at night . stay safe out there.
Nice kit. Good to see some outdoor videos from down under. Hope you guys can get out and about soon. Do you have a lockdown like us in the UK? We are having to camp in our gardens for the time being.
Use a TENT!😂 you won't need a ground sheet, tarp, bivy bag, mosquito net or extra rope and stakes. It keeps mosquitos, bugs, ants, snakes, possums out of your sleeping area. The one I use weighs 1.2kg, cost $20 and is the same size as a helikon poncho in bag plus poles (about the size of your bow saw folded). It always confuses me why bushcrafters always want the tarp and bivy option. In colder regions like northern USA, UK or Sweden then it's fine, they're not dealing with horrendous mosquitoes and snakes that kill you in a few hours. In Australia it's a different story. Thanks for sharing your gear with us. Stay safe out there.
@@badhabitz69 it's a no brand tent from eBay. 2 person dome tent in woodland camouflage. I lived in it for 3 months at a campsite in Byron Bay. It's good for rain up to 30mm in 1 day, then it will start to get wet inside. I extend its waterproof abilities by putting my helikon poncho over it. This is a similar one I found on eBay "TOMSHOO Folding Camping Tent for 2 Person Waterproof Camouflage Hiking A1A5"

Great video tons of useful info there, one item I would swap out would be an olight S1R baton II rechargeable waterproof led torch it can clip onto the brim of any hat has an ultra low lumen long lasting mode up to a 1000 lumen mode and also a strobe mode for emergency location and is super small and light weightand has a magnetic base
clothing and shelter,water and vessels,food and rations,tools and knifes,combustion,communication/navigation gear,fishing and hunting gear,first aid kit...and no excess crap
Nice,light,simple ,comprehensive ,well done. Maybe consider another type of compass....i had several Silva....they are sensitive...they tend to crack quickly and you will find yourself with a bubble in the housing.....yes they are light,yes they have a couple of features integrated.....but for the money they cost...they are just to fragile.

Good to see refined, practical kit. And that you carry a PLB / EPIRB.

I too am pretty happy with that
Great kit review... Subscribed to watch your Australian Adventures in the bush 👍
seems like a very well made kit to me very nicely explained, thanks mate
Great content. I can really tell you spend time in the bush and use your gear.
I do ultralight camping/hunting in Vic.Nice Loadout but I need to keep to be mindful of weight,my only luxury is my jetboil for warm drinks.
Also I run the acr PLB and wouldn't switch to Garmin as you don't need to worry about subscription fees.
Enjoyed your video. Agawa Canyon just came out with a Boreal 15” saw. Makes it more practical for hiking versus car camping or short hikes using the 21”. Cheers
I would sooner hear the cockies in the background than the blare of fuel stoves. Well done Scotty.
Great set of gear! But....I've seen some nature shows here in the USA and isn't Australia home to like the most very dangerous deadly bugs/snakes/critters ON EARTH??? Yeah...my bug net would be chain mail! Love that pack too!
Thanks for showing. Never thought an Aussie would sleep on the ground - you've got plenty of nasty creepers "down under". Aboriginals never go in the bush without a walking stick, how about you, didn't mention it.
You chose orange for your sleeping pad and a bandana, for signalling as you said. Orange doesn't stand out as much in fall. On "Indian summer" in Canada you'll perfectly blend in with ALL your gear in bright orange (don't know, how fall looks like down under). A bright blue never shows up in nature, no matter where you are (maybe in the caribbean in shallow waters?), so you may consider changing the colour of your signalling devices.
Stay safe Scotty, best regards from germany
Not a huge amount if deciduous trees in the Australian bush, even near the snow line. So orange stands out really well here.
Maybe not as much in Central Australia in the red dust areas, but hiking there is very different.
Hey scotty, love your videos. I was wondering if you had a rough estimation of the base weight of your gear? I notice that you are super light in some areas but very heavy in others..eg. 2 saws but very little cooking equipment. Heavy ground sheet but super light on the tent/sleeping System. Are you treading the line of weight and durability or is some of this stuff just awesome and you don't care how much it weighs? I love that swaggies pantry but arguably 6 nalgene bottles would be lighter and more durable, while simultaneously having zero soul :D
Not expecting a reply but would love to know more in another video sometime. Cheers and thanks for the great video.
I'd estimate well under 35lbs. My gear is 37lbs and has a lot more heavy stuff in it. If I were a guessing man I would put it at 28 lbs? Somewhere between 25-30lbs anyway. Even just an SOS emergency ration packs are over 1lb each and I carry 2. I also carry tons of redundant stuff for day hikes away from base camp. That way if I get stuck away from camp I won't freeze to death away from my main gear even if it starts raining cats and dogs. I even carry some compact food separate from my main food if I'm heading away for a while. So that should give you an idea how light his gear is.
Thank you for the break down and advice. Excellent!
Best bush videos Scotty
Lovely kit. Thank you for sharing. Have subscribed and look forward to more vids. Only thing I’d add (but you may not need it) is a folding or spetnaz shovel.
Glad to see you are zble to get out more. Hope you don't have another vad fire season for a long time
Great video, some good info there.
nice set up Scotty. the only things missing are a good olight warrior x 2000 luman torch and a nice chance in hell machete for when you hear those footsteps walking around your camp at night . stay safe out there.
13:38 BREAKIE...gotta love the Aussie slag
Your gears make me "hungry" to buy it 😁
Nice kit. Good to see some outdoor videos from down under. Hope you guys can get out and about soon. Do you have a lockdown like us in the UK? We are having to camp in our gardens for the time being.
Maybe a video where you show how you pack/organise your backpack ? Thank you.
Well thought out digger, I don't know why our bush tucker man hasn't done this on utube .
Use a TENT!😂 you won't need a ground sheet, tarp, bivy bag, mosquito net or extra rope and stakes. It keeps mosquitos, bugs, ants, snakes, possums out of your sleeping area. The one I use weighs 1.2kg, cost $20 and is the same size as a helikon poncho in bag plus poles (about the size of your bow saw folded). It always confuses me why bushcrafters always want the tarp and bivy option. In colder regions like northern USA, UK or Sweden then it's fine, they're not dealing with horrendous mosquitoes and snakes that kill you in a few hours. In Australia it's a different story. Thanks for sharing your gear with us. Stay safe out there.
What type/brand of tent do you use?? Thanks
Yeah, what brand of $20 tent?
@@badhabitz69 it's a no brand tent from eBay. 2 person dome tent in woodland camouflage. I lived in it for 3 months at a campsite in Byron Bay. It's good for rain up to 30mm in 1 day, then it will start to get wet inside. I extend its waterproof abilities by putting my helikon poncho over it. This is a similar one I found on eBay "TOMSHOO Folding Camping Tent for 2 Person Waterproof Camouflage Hiking A1A5"

Thank you brother!
Great video tons of useful info there, one item I would swap out would be an olight S1R baton II rechargeable waterproof led torch it can clip onto the brim of any hat has an ultra low lumen long lasting mode up to a 1000 lumen mode and also a strobe mode for emergency location and is super small and light weightand has a magnetic base
clothing and shelter,water and vessels,food and rations,tools and knifes,combustion,communication/navigation gear,fishing and hunting gear,first aid kit...and no excess crap
Great kit. Thanks for sharing 😊
Come on mate, tawny port is beautiful, brown musket is for cleaning rust of cast iron lol, nice kit
Dry bag=pillow. Never thought that. Brilliant tip.
Nice,light,simple ,comprehensive ,well done. Maybe consider another type of compass....i had several Silva....they are sensitive...they tend to crack quickly and you will find yourself with a bubble in the housing.....yes they are light,yes they have a couple of features integrated.....but for the money they cost...they are just to fragile.
Phew I thought I had a plethora of kit.... Good to see i'm not alone.... Good overview Scott...
