Thanks mate! 🙌
Do you need to name drop the location ? Bad form mate. Somethings are worth keeping to yourself.
@@chambmattise1410 Mate, I pretty much never reveal the location of my trips. But given this is a popular rafting river, most people who are into rafting will already know of it. Otherwise, it's very limited access so you're not going to get many people walking in there. I always get people blasting me for not revealing the locations, and the one tine I do, I still get people blasting me. I can't win.
@@ScottysGoneWalkabout not bashing, just sayin. The south coast already gets inundated with blow-ins so anything to help with that is a win. The benefits of not sharing any location far outweighs sharing them ✊🏻
Which packraft are you using?
Not only was the content great on the river ,but the picture quality of the filming was crystal clear. Excellent ,worthy of television.
Awesome video lads just as suggestion I used a surf board leash attached to my kayak and used Velcro on ankle end wrapped around paddle so can disconnect it when needed- saves being up the creek without a paddle as they say 🤣 paddle stays with the boat then at least 👌 epic quality video Scotty 👌
Last thing you want when you're in the water is that wrapping round you!
This was a joy to watch. You have no idea how happy I was when you found the blue paddle.
I have a pretty good idea 😅 Haha
100% would’ve made Scotty tow me all the way home. 😂
You gotta love a Scotty/Mattsy adventure. Mattsy just dives in and does it, whether he knows how or not. You guys hit some pretty good rapids, and what were the chances of finding Mattsy's paddle! Great wilderness area and nice drone shots. You and Mattsy are great adventure partners. Everybody needs a Mattsy.
Yep I absolutely love Mattsy too Judy
Epic vid, Shoalhaven River is in my backyard. Never knew the river was so beautiful upstream. Thanks crew, you guys are awesome 👍
My backyard as well, I loved the drone shots, epic scenery 👌
Best bromance on youtube. Loving you legends, thanks for the after work kickback on the couch. Lopoks epic as usual. Cheers fellas!
Thank you so SOOOOOOO much for getting out there and showing us this beautiful country. So good to see and watch and take part in. I was completely 'Whooooooing' when you finally found the paddle. Also, that shot of the stones in the sand on the river's edge: perfection and bliss! You two lads play off each other well, and it's a delight to watch as an audience member. I find both yours and Matty's channels so much easier to watch. Adventurous spirits, and empathic men. You see nature without all the bullshit. A rare treasure in these times! 🙏
Watching Mattsy stack and come a gutsa was the highlight of my day today 🤣 great video Scotty.
Special effects
@@TheSillySwagman Mate I've seen how you cast a hand line ... similar to how you navigate a rapid 🤣 All over the shop.
@@Lukeslittletribe I’m a tree if I can 😂😂
Scotty, mate this is up there with one of your best vids! I loved the photos at the end, what a great way to wrap up another vid! Awesome to watch, had a good laugh too! Keep it up legend, you are top shelf!
Exactly my thoughts as it came to the end. Unbelievable scenery in this countryside Scotty. Yes please more of these mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Yep, photos at the end are a great addition
so good, we did that trip 25 years ago dragging kayaks down sewells point and paddled all the way to the dam,. but one of the best trips ever. a truely remote river experience not that far away. so good.
Another great vid Scotty. That Mattsy is a classic! I'm glad he didn't lose his gopro again!
2 totally different characters you 2 are.
Cheers Parko 😎🤘
Awesome looking forward to getting home later and sitting down to watch this
This certainly was an epic adventure. Matsy never fails to amuse me. Last time he lost his GoPro. Take care, be safe. ❤ Dorset, UK
Mattsy's got an awesome hat with neck protection, like the old African explorers bush hat. So excited to have another trip to watch. What fun.
I’m glad you liked it, Petra 😄 Certainly kept the sun from doing its worst on me!
Gday scotty brilliant video mate with you and the swagman nice to see you both out again enjoying yourself,, take care of yourself stay safe mate
you said it: an epic trip. one of your best. thanks.
"two idiot's lost in the world Upper River wihtout paddle"
😂🤣🤣🤣
good Job bro
Wow very nice nature beautiful people in this squad. I enjoyed watching this adventure. I love the sounds of the water. Great
Looks like an epic adventure. You guys work well together.
Fantastic adventure, thanks for taking us along lads.
What a magic place Scotty I haven't been up that way for a very long time thanks for the memory.
Thanks Scotty
Beautiful music
It looks like Mattsy rolled in a 'hole' that forms as water goes over rocks, ledges, etc. You can keep paddling as you land in the hole to maintain speed or the low or high brace to counter the boat rolling. Nice to see you guys wearing your helmets.
Did not help that I had my feet draped over the sides like an idiot. 😅 That sounds about right though, thanks for the help, mate!
Hey @TheSillySwagman, tell Scott what they do to you in the army if you lose your weapon. You sure are silly. Love it when you go on trips with Scott.
Hahaha 😂 I genuinely reflect on my time in the Army after these trips and ask myself how I was actually a reliable soldier. 100% gear returned on discharge. My return to Civi life has taken its toll I guess 😂
Awsome viewing Scotty thank u.
Absolutely brilliant thank you for bringing us along for the ride and for showcasing and reminding us how beautiful this country of ours is and what living is all about, so good and so jealous lads!! Bloody awesome put a massive smile on ma dial cheers!
Right on fellas. I had some epic 3 day pack raft trip up here in Canada a month ago. Awesome rafts, used the same ones
What an epic trip mate! Ripper video too. My packraft arrived a couple of days ago, absolutely frothing to get out there!
Great to hear you got yourself a packraft! Looking forward to your next video!
Just spent 4 days up there myself, the water was perfect, water dragons every where, Wonga Pigeons calling and the weird Catbirds meow in the afternoon. This production is a 5 star Scotty, you excelled and the drone footage epic showing how beautiful the upper Shoal is. You have to do more with Mattsy, you work and play well together 🤩
@@TheJoshywoshybumbleb to force you to do your own research and find it
@@TheJoshywoshybumbleb he does say where it is, just not entry or exit locations, do the research like Scotty does, make your own path and adventure. Locals to Scotty know where he is most of the time. We all did the same research at one time or another, but we will mostly never promote locations as some areas are sensitive to heavy human traffic. Social media is a wonderful thing to show our beautiful country but it has also been devastating to hidden gems. I am all for staying mute on directions.
@@DebOxy Thanks Deb. Glad you enjoyed it. It really is some special country.
So cool. I am in. Thank you for sharing.
What an awesome adventure 😃🏕🇳🇿
Really nice movie! Good photo and nice flow. Was really inspired and longing for our packraft season to come. Right now it's just dark and cold and all our lakes and rivers are frozen here in Sweden. Keep up the good work!
Love the immersive quality of your videos, keep up the good work!
Great videos Scott....I'm a fan.
Sweet video. When the Layup instrumental came on, knew it would be a fun one.
Well guys what an awesome trip, the effort to film something like this is really incredible and thanks for doing that and sharing it with is 👍👍🤠
Amazing landscape and super journey .
Here in Germany we think about Australia, that it is a dry bush country.
You show us amazing nature landscapes.
Best wishes from Germany.
Thanks for the video…that was quite the adventure…beautiful views on that river…you throw a nice fly …stay safe and take care !!
That is the most awesome natural beauty vid I've seen in a long time!
That has to be one of my favourite videos of yours - absolutely spectacular! Filming and documentation was top notch. Thank you for sharing. xo
This was epic! Wow!
Deadly! Thanks for taking us along.
Looks so fun! ❤❤❤
Excellent video the camera work is brilliant 👏
Beautiful country, and great drone shots. You you for taking us along.
The drone work in this video is spectacular, really adds the majesty to your videos keep it up!

Ahhh been hoping another banger would come out!
Great video gents.

Really enjoyed watching this. Filmed and narrated so well. Thanks for sharing -- new sub!
So amazing
Doing a catch up on your vids this was great what an adventure whoohooo. enjoyed.
What an amazing landscape. Never knew the Shoalhaven River looked like this. Saving this one to watch again tomorrow on my TV on a bigger screen.
AWESOME.
This was such a great video. Looking forward to seeing Mattsy's take on the trip.
What a beautiful adventure, thanks for sharing it with the world
Excellent video cheers 🍺🍺🍺
Wonderful
Gnarly episode!
The odds of finding that paddle ,the way that you did ,stopping there like that. You guys were jacked without it , good Lord was smiling on you guys, no doubt. 🙏🏻
2 golden rules put a lanyard on yoire main paddle and always carry a spare fold up one
Great vid mate. Relaxing watching, beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video, as always, thank you. May you and yours have a lovely holiday.
Young guys getting out there and exploring magic countryside, go gettem boys!
It's always a joy to watch your videos! Greetings from Germany! 😋
beautiful scenery, challenging adventure, impressive.
Stunning. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a fantastic trip.
Hands down the best outdoor/adventure video ive seen. Felt like i was there with you. Superbly edited.
Unreal Scotty - Thanks for this amazing video. Kudos for the effort you put in and quality you get out!
great stuff scotty enjoyed the vlog mate, beautiful country and the awsome river, cheers
Cool trip
Wow and wow!
Scotty is now doing the Mattsy soliloquy thing.
Excellent adventure! Thanks for sharing.
enjoyed it as usual! looked like an epic trip! ive never used a pack kayak before i bet it beats the heck out of dragging a plastic one around, you dont even have to mount it up on top of your vehicle!
Enjoyed that one a lot. Thanks Scotty! I know how much work goes into creating these videos.
Thank you Scotty and Matty - You always take us further up the Shoalhaven River than we've managed to get on our own. It's one of our favourite wilderness places to visit. Was very happy to see that you recovered Matty's paddle - that would've been a bummer otherwise. And I remember when he lost his GoPro... Absolutely stunning drone footage - of a truly magical place. Thanks for sharing.
Australia's Wilderness...definitely the best of the best.! Great show as alsways bud. Stay safe for the New Year.
Such a beautiful place and adventure. In Canada we've heard about your epic floods but I was amazed to see the heights they reached on those river banks, as evidenced by the trees, sand and flotsam.
Been following from the beginning champion and the vids have improved out of sight mate! Great adventures and great insight into our beautiful country! Keep up the good work mate 🤙
Love this one…..epic views and you all had fun and plenty laughs. Really loved the one 😊
What a lovely video to watch. Got a laugh too 😊
came back from a week of hectic weather up in mount kosciuszko and tested positive for covid, watching this trip has given me even more ideas for my next trip with mates. Have a good one Scotty, you make some amaizing content!
What an epic adventure! 😍
Awesome job man. Love trips like that. No crowds.
Woah didn't know this kind of climate existed in Australia so cool to learn that!!!!
Epic trip gents! High entertainment value 🤠
Beautiful country side
I hope I‘ll be born as an Aussie in next life, no idea, what I‘m doing here where I am.
(Love the song on 3.30 btw.. hear it often on my bike in the Swiss Alps on my way to a climb, while cruising on my bike..)
But if I could, I‘d change immediately to have the adventures you have.
