Cool setup Scotty, I like seeing different people's set ups always snag a few good ideas from different people so thanks for sharing. I definitely agree with you on the tunes you've got to have a little speaker! G+T is a good idea too :P
Lol 😂 I live in Australia and have pretty much the exact same setup except I went for an Alice pack Australian edible plants, grill, pathfinder canteen, axe, fero rod, thermals, para cord, first aid, titanium fry pan, mozzie head net, tinder pouch, power pack,water filter. Things I like to take that you don’t have are, aviators gloves(fire resistant great around camp fire) , Australian weed foragers handbook, mavic mini drone(great for exploring points of interest), snake gators, Little fold out 5v solar panel for the power bank used to recharge nightcore hc65 headlamp(you wouldn’t regret upgrading your headlamp man) Compass and map Cool video, there should be more Australian bushcrafting vids👍
This was great, I've been looking for "bug out bag gear uk" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Janameron Tenylan System - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got cool success with it.
Great video m8! Ive done most of my hiking in North Sweden and there its more about keeping warm and dry. So its interesting to see how you guys do it over there
Another great video. You're right about the axe. 40 years of camping and hiking and I've never used one. They just dont bite into hardwood. Unless its a full sized axe. One thing I learned from a very knowledable expert on snakes is that they are completely deaf. I watched him jumping on the ground right next to a tiger and it didn't notice him at all. I always carried a stick and bashed the ground in front of me because I believed that the snakes woukd sense the vibrations and bugger off. Its a myth, sad to say. But it did give me more confidence when moving through bracken or teetree or whatever. Anyway, your videos are great. Can't wait to see the next one.
Mallee Fowler Hey mate, you’re too right about the axe. It’s just not that necessary in Oz unlike other parts of the world. That’s very interesting to hear about the snakes. I was always of the understanding that they would feel the vibrations of the tapping stick. Now it makes sense why I’ve nearly stepped on a dozen haha. It’s a shame in that case. Guess it’s more down to luck and having a keen eye.
Scotty's Gone Walkabouts I think what you're doing is really great. The more people you can inspire to get out into the bush, the more people there will be who want to protect the natural environment.
Mallee Fowler Thanks a lot mate! That’s nice of you to say. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos and I hope I do encourage people to get out in nature. It’s bloody great place!
Great to see all the gear you take with you hiking. Its the first time I've heard of a PLB. I've gotta get one as it could be lifesaving if I got bitten by a snake while somewhere remote in the Aussie bush as I do encounter them often. Cheers!
excellent choice of gear Scotty very practical and functional, the only thing id leave behind is the alchohol and music id just chuck in a few extra tea bags and i prefer to listen to the sounds of the bush as i like to become one with the enviroment around me. i also always carry a good machete as theyre good for clearing the bush around camp as well as a defensive tool for any unwanted visitors. love watching your adventures mate.
Nice pack, covers just about everything, one recommendation though, your PLB, keep it on you, like clipped or strapped to your waist belt, on your body somewhere. It's no good in your pack when you need it and you are away from your pack.
Nice kit mate, mine is pretty similar with a lot of the same items. I like my music too my torch is hand cranked and also a radio. You should add a few Fresnel lense cards to your kit, they weigh nothing and you can start a fire in seconds most days in oz with them. Also I have some tick tweezers used more than I'd like... :)
Nice load out, and great discussion. Just the right amount of detail. You gave me some ideas. My favorite stomping ground is one of the few places in the Eastern US where you could make a strong case for needing a PLB. Maybe I do. Tea tree oil is not as well known in North America as Down Under, but I’ve been evangelizing about it. Great stuff. And steel wool... you’re right, we do get really hard baked on sap from pine and other conifers, and sometimes that’s all that’s on offer by the woods. Definitely going to start carrying some. Great job!
Good to see some Aussie vids, been watching a lot of nth hemisphere channels for a long time which is still good stuff but not area specific. Great vid mate!
Hi from a Brit based in SW France. Just wanted to say that it’s great to see some of Australia’s landscapes and best corners. I spent a couple of years in Victoria and my sister is still there after longer than I care to think of. Thanks fo making these vids, they are a window to another side of the world and it’s interesting to see the resources you have and use there versus those we have here. Cheers mate, have a G&T on me and give me a shout if you ever visit France
Good stuff, thanks I get the same thing from heavy pine use as well. Can get a pretty thick film going in a couple of days. Maybe just the 'fattier' stuff.
Excellent video my friend,i always use a stalking stick/Thumbstick.A flask of Tawny wine if we bag a Deer,i use a Mora companion knife for field dressing Deer and other game.The haversack is great and all your gear is well packed.Is th Book 'Fifty Shades Of Grey',lol.Stay safe and Hello from Ireland.👍
Great video mate. I'm not sure if you're aware that the waist strap of the Raid Pack can be removed and to be used it as a waist harness for mounting external pouches, drop bag and etc, with molle?
Now this is a bag and gear review... good onya mate! I am seriously gettin sick of seeing yanks trying flog gear off... you should buy this or that... bud you are straight to the point and true blue Aussie... keep up the excellent work and enjoy yourself Had a few good giggles myself at your expense... you are a legend! Well worth the sub.
Love your videos Scotty. I went for the Grundfors Brooks small forest axe. Slightly longer than the hatchets but still manageable size, and really useful. But ut the silky saw is quicker on hardwood for sure. I want to copy your entire kit lol.
nice video Scotty! Yeah I noticed my canteen cup seems to get a sappy like substance on the bottom and sides when I put it over the fire. Most of the time I'll use redgum or pine as its widely available so it'd have to be the resin within the log which probably wafts up in the smoke. Take care brother!
great video. as the weather gets better here i'm looking to move to a hammock and ive seen a few recommend the alton now. looks like a good version and buying locals always good
Kit is dope bro love the daysack too! However you should buy the Alton grill dude, Aussie made and it’s sick! I’m in the uk and got it shipped over I love it! 🤙🏻
Hey man I use a gransfors small forest axe. I find that the extra handle length really helps with splitting our tough Aussie wood. Still a very packable axe as well.
Nice video mate, recommend steripens for water treatment especially in summer it's easier and quicker than boiling water , tas tiger packs can be purchased in Melbourne directly through Mitchell's outdoors, also aussie disposals. Good to see an Aussie kit! Subscribed. 👍
I like the items you have in your backpack and you are ready for camping out in the elements with all you have. The knife, saw, hatchet, and the food is the most important things in your pack and mine is about ready except for a hatchet which I will get next, and a new saw. The food is the last thing I put in mine since I don't leave it in it all the time.
Great kit man, would do you well in Texas as well. Keep up the great work! Btw, I don't think fatwood loses much when it gets old. I've had a bucket of it for years and it all works great still
NeckRed Gringo Hey mate, oh good to know. I got this fat wood about a year ago when I was in the states on a road trip checking out the giant redwoods.
wolf pack Australia Hey mate, I got the pack off some European website, not many places in Oz stock it unfortunately. It’s a pricey pack but really well built. It should last a good amount of years
Saws are certainly better than hatchets for hardwood until it comes to knocking off the branches. Having both makes it much easier than having only one
Nice set-up! Enjoyed watching your run down of it. I have the same snow peak plate, really enjoy mine. Also have some Pathfinder stuff, pretty ruggedly built.
@@wolfpackbushcraftaustralia Yes, we don't see many Aussie bushcrafters on TH-cam, I would love to see some videos on the bush foods especially if he's in Victoria or NSW.
Hi, the dude from uk I love the set up an I'd like to say please change the titanium plate to stainless steel because of the chemicals from the titanium plate dude but you don't have to as its your choice after all but have good day or night
Great kit show. You're the 1st person to carry a PLB - well done! Same for the gin... Lol, we're kindred "spirits" haha. Missing core items - whistle, signal mirror, duct tape, cloth sail needle / repair kit, hygiene & shit kit (lol). Think of swapping pot grabber for multitool with pliers (multiple uses in comparison to pot grabber, as good as they are).
RhodieFreedomCamp Hey mate, yeah not too many carry a PLB, or at least they don’t mention it. Perhaps they’re worried the hardcore ‘bushcrafters’ will think they’re soft haha Yeah can’t forget the gin! My whistle, signal mirror, toilet paper etc are in my first aid kit, I’ll have to do another vid with a run down if the contents. Great idea about the pliers, I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for watching mate.
Hey Scotty, it would be awesome if you could do more reviews of Camping gear available LOCALLY. It's infuriating watching American TH-camrs review cheap quality gear we can't get or afford ! Cheers mate ! PS: Check out Edinburgh Gin from Dan's !
Your comments around an axe being of little use on Australia's hardwood - yeah - the British explorers learn that the hard way when they blunted all of their woodcraft building equipment on our wood when they first arrived. A saw and a good knife for batoning wood are far more useful in Australia for processing firewood, and it's lighter than carrying an axe, knife and saw.
A very nicely presented video. Re the Silky Gomboy saw, what length (210, 249, 270 or 300mm) and teeth size (Fine, Medium or Large tooth) do you find most practical please Scotty?
Hey scotty love your videos mate you have me hooked im in the process of getting a bit of a setup to go "walkabout" myself. I really like you bag and was wondering how it goes on extended walks for comfort? Cheers keep up the good work
Hey mate, glad you're enjoying the vids. Yeah I find this bag super comfy. The strap system is really supportive. I've taken it on a 5 day hike and didn't have any issues. It's a pricey bag but worth it in my opinion.
Nice video, fantastic gear and great finale. :D You could cut some of the weight though. For example you have too much cooking equipment. You can cook on the embers instead of on the grill. You can use only the titanium plate and remove the nesting cup or vice versa.
That's great advice! I've done the same with mine it weighs much lighter then before mine was at 30 pounds. Now it's 23 which is much easier for me and i don't need to carry all that other stuff.
someone say tasmanian tiger?? lol great pack scotty im jealous lol love from hobart great video i cant seem to order myself a bag so im going to look in town lol- those pillows are fkn 50 bux bro lol wow ill have to upload a version of my one from nemo!
A well built hatchet - good for striking fires, stripping branches, splitting small wood, crafting & hammering stakes. & fending off Russell Crowe. Worth its weight.
Awesome video mate! Looking at starting some overnight hikes and building a decent BOB. Atleast some of this gear I know I can buy in Brisbane as well. Cheers man! p.s everyone giving you a hard time for gin and tonic can piss off, I'll be taking my flask full of whiskey!
hey bro where did you get your pot and handle? noticed another vid you did the ole conti packet rice, one of my faves out bush and the little pot you have is killer
Hi Scotty, I really learned a lot from your videos and thanks for sharing and explaining all your gears for us. Quite interested on the knife that you showed in ur video as I also live in QLD. Just wondering if you can share the website or contact so that i can go check out the knives that “gidget” makes. Thanks.
Cheers mate. Yeah I just found it lying on the ground, then I added some cordage to make a handle grip and that was it. No hardening in the fire or anything like that. I was expecting it to break after a couple of trips, since its not a hardwood, but it's still going strong.
Really like the bag. Is it Aussie made? Something like that would work well in the African bush with all the thorn trees, a normal backpack never lasts me more than a single session.
Scotty, do you ever wash or take shower in the bushes ,because I was told, the best way to fight mosquitos is to keep them away by your stinking socks or body perfumes ?
u ever used a kukri instead of an axe?- i was going to go for a gomboy 210 + 10" or 8"" khukri set up.. or even jus the kukri as it seems good for bushcraft and they usually come with a smaller pairing knife
Hey have you ever gotten a tick or has anyone you have gone bush with gotten one? How much of a risk are they really? What is your avoidance/prevention/treatment methods if any? Apparently their rife all along Australia’s east coast. Thanks
Hello those Australian brands Australian made interest me I found gidgee, I shy away from the Chinese stuff. Could we have some links please, thanks for the vids Scotty, happy walkabout
Another good reason to have a long walking stick is to hold in front of you to break spider webs before your face does.Spiders have a knack for putting their webs up at my eyeline height....damn them.....:)
Solid set up mate. Sadly Tasmanian Tiger (Name sounds Aussie but company is in Europe) is made in China ... so are many, many others ... Snugpak, Recon, DD and Thule. I prefer ADF Auspacks (Large Alice on Frame) for that reason and Carinthia sleeping gear (Made in Austria) - supplied to many World Military. Not a fan of the ubiquity of Made in China product monopolies so I go the extra mile and e-mail companies to sleuth out their Manufacturing. Good to see the MONT bag in there - MONT are Aussie but at least they source from Japan, Italy and the U.S for materials rather than China! Wilderness Equipment are another Aussie brand that stay outside China that I can recommend.
Ray yea, I really like MCQ, I'm waiting until my Bahco Laplander gets worn out but that might take a while... Maybe I should do a test til destruction video 😂
Hey mate, really enjoying your channel. Would like to see what food you bring on a 2 nighter and your 5 nighter, would be interesting to see. Are they fjallraven karl pants? Thanks.
The birds sound amazing. I love this country!!
I love how I can sit on my couch and watch yall do the same thing as I do, just a million miles around the world . Love the videos!!!!
Cool setup Scotty, I like seeing different people's set ups always snag a few good ideas from different people so thanks for sharing. I definitely agree with you on the tunes you've got to have a little speaker! G+T is a good idea too :P
Lol 😂 I live in Australia and have pretty much the exact same setup except I went for an Alice pack
Australian edible plants, grill, pathfinder canteen, axe, fero rod, thermals, para cord, first aid, titanium fry pan, mozzie head net, tinder pouch, power pack,water filter.
Things I like to take that you don’t have are,
aviators gloves(fire resistant great around camp fire) ,
Australian weed foragers handbook,
mavic mini drone(great for exploring points of interest),
snake gators,
Little fold out 5v solar panel for the power bank used to recharge nightcore hc65 headlamp(you wouldn’t regret upgrading your headlamp man)
Compass and map
Cool video, there should be more Australian bushcrafting vids👍
You manage to pack some booze into the bag well done my style of camping lol. Not a lot of Aussies doing videos. subscribed. Take care.
Thought that too! Booze, beers, and music! Let's do this!
I legit looked up Aussie bushcraft
Great to see an Aussie pack review!
Can you list all the equipment you have? that would be a huge help, other than that great vid 👍

Cheers mate. Yeah I just found it lying on the ground, then I added some cordage to make a handle grip and that was it. No hardening in the fire or anything like that. I was expecting it to break after a couple of trips, since its not a hardwood, but it's still going strong.
If U can get callicoma serratifolia saplings,great strong light walking stick 🤘
I like this, great to know for just tooling around in the bush rather than going all hardcore survivalist needing a sub machine gun 😂
I am new here on youtube need your support bro
kookabuura and wattle tatt is really good.
I use a Silky Zubar fits right in behind the pockets of my bergan.
Awesome video!
Thanks man. Enjoyed watching
Really like the bag. Is it Aussie made? Something like that would work well in the African bush with all the thorn trees, a normal backpack never lasts me more than a single session.
Yeah we get black build up on the bottom of our cook gear in North America too. Try using sand to clean it.
I live in NSW too. What PLB do you recommend, where do you get it, and what plan do you pay for?
Good question
Scotty, do you ever wash or take shower in the bushes ,because I was told, the best way to fight mosquitos is to keep them away by your stinking socks or body perfumes ?
Great video nice gear you've got there do you ever use a parang or machette rather than the axe cheers
u ever used a kukri instead of an axe?- i was going to go for a gomboy 210 + 10" or 8"" khukri set up.. or even jus the kukri as it seems good for bushcraft and they usually come with a smaller pairing knife
Hey have you ever gotten a tick or has anyone you have gone bush with gotten one? How much of a risk are they really? What is your avoidance/prevention/treatment methods if any?
Apparently their rife all along Australia’s east coast.
Thanks
Love the bag. Kookabura tattoo?
Hello those Australian brands Australian made interest me I found gidgee, I shy away from the Chinese stuff. Could we have some links please, thanks for the vids Scotty, happy walkabout
Another good reason to have a long walking stick is to hold in front of you to break spider webs before your face does.Spiders have a knack for putting their webs up at my eyeline height....damn them.....:)
Excellent channel!
Solid set up mate. Sadly Tasmanian Tiger (Name sounds Aussie but company is in Europe) is made in China ... so are many, many others ... Snugpak, Recon, DD and Thule. I prefer ADF Auspacks (Large Alice on Frame) for that reason and Carinthia sleeping gear (Made in Austria) - supplied to many World Military. Not a fan of the ubiquity of Made in China product monopolies so I go the extra mile and e-mail companies to sleuth out their Manufacturing. Good to see the MONT bag in there - MONT are Aussie but at least they source from Japan, Italy and the U.S for materials rather than China! Wilderness Equipment are another Aussie brand that stay outside China that I can recommend.
Another great video mate
Great video, those silky saws look brilliant, I'm going to need one in my life. Really cool channel, subscribed 🤠
Swamp Valley yeah I’m already loving the new saw. Thanks for watching mate!
Swamp Valley , have you seen MCQ Bushcraft use his Silky Zubat with Zed Outdoors? Pretty impressive. I'm sold
Ray yea, I really like MCQ, I'm waiting until my Bahco Laplander gets worn out but that might take a while... Maybe I should do a test til destruction video 😂
I still hesitate what to get - silky saw or boreal 21.
Hey mate, really enjoying your channel. Would like to see what food you bring on a 2 nighter and your 5 nighter, would be interesting to see. Are they fjallraven karl pants? Thanks.
