Love the banter between you and scotty
It’s a lot of fun that’s for sure 😂
Walk about with a silly swagman A+
Haha cheers mate 🙌
There's comedic value in these videos
2 Aussie legends here ❤ taking your viewers on an awesome trip through our beautiful country 🇦🇺
Cheers to you both ❤
Mate, I think I died and went to heaven just from watching this! The "tube" teleported you to another dimension I reckon. It really doesn't get better than that. A trip of a lifetime for sure
A big sponge like you get in car wash packs is a good ultralight bailer. It’s been great watching you two increase your paddling skills from just falling down the river to picking lines ! Love it
Hahaha thanks mate 😂 it’s certainly made it a lot more enjoyable. Safe to say I’ve drawn the line with rapids outside of my ability after that second attempt at the washing machine 😅
And that’s a bloody great tip. Thanks mate!
That my friend was epic! Always an adventure when you and Scotty get together. Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠
Scotty rubbing his conglomerate.. Awesome. Great vid mate need to get out, great motivation! Cheers!
Thanks, mate! Haha ah man, that made me laugh so much 😂 He’s a funny bugger
38:18 that moment right there. 👍
YES!!! He’s done it again!
The kind of people i would love to hang out with
That was one epic adventure. Amazing to uncover that waterfall. There is nothing like exploring in the great outdoors.
Absolutely epic . Your attitude and energy is infectious , absolutely love it, keep doing what you’re doing mattsy
Don’t retire the OG yet mate. I have an All 4 Adventure hat worse than that, and I love it.
That waterfall was an epic find mate. Such an amazing paradise
Those pack rafts held up so well, I was expecting one to pop or tear when you hit a rock
Truly an epic adventure boys, that waterfall belongs in a film set. The overwhelming allure of mother nature, you can't beat it, best medicine in the world. Respect and praise to you both.
A new hat! 😂
The way you jumped out of your boat when you were in the washing machine 😅😅😅 i laughed till i cried!!!!then i watched it a second time!!!! You are a true gem!
I watched the first half of this from my hospital room while waiting for my lift. Home now with a replacement hip joint and wishing I could be there. Just. Finished watching it, what an epic place. ❤
Wishing I had a larger screen. The stunning beauty of that perfect reflection in the canyon of light and shade, depth of water and field of vision, jaw dropping!! And Paradise Falls!! And I laughed so much, thanks for taking us along.
Look out boys and girls we have a new hat 🧢
Awesome rapids guys! Oh man you got owned by your nemesis though hey. Hope the hand healed up ok. We died laughing at
‘jagged boulder in the nutsack’ and the ‘moustache breeding ground’. So many great moments in this cinematic masterpiece. Great to see you enjoying yourselves. Just put a piece of tape on your new hat to help it along😂
Awesome vid Mattsy. I loved Scotty's chuckles in the background. Omg that waterfall!! What a find! You're excitement was infectious. Can't wait for your next adventure 😊
One of the most underrated bits of wilderness in NSW.
Word 🙏
Ride or Die@@TheSillySwagman
Looks incredible, my wife and I would love to check this place out! Do you know where abouts it is in NSW?
@@An00bisY00tubis that is the game. you have to find it. i love trying to work out where his videos are. google and maps are out regularly to help guess. this one i know. we paddled it about 30 years ago.
For some reason, I can picture you and Scotty singing a duet on Waltzing Matilda.
What a time mate. What a bloody time. 👌🏼 One to show the grand kids. This could be up there as one of your best. Some very funny moments. Ps, I thought the new hat looked good and then you chucked on the old hat. You can’t go past the OG
Haha! I was saving it for the finale bushcamp to really set it off 😂🤣
Thanks mate. As you very well know, when there’s so much footage you sort of lose sight of how the final edit actually looks for fresh eyes. So that’s a big relief 😅
Incredible trip. That last camp and the closing scene have really amped me for future adventures. 👌
Two minutes in big grin on my face and a belly full of laughs 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Came here for the adventure, stayed for the personality.
I will be watching this over and over again BRILLIANT fun😁👏🏼💜
Absolutely frothing the two of you. All time boys. Going to be hard to top this one. Sick!
I know dude! We got to the end of it and both agreed it was easily the best trip and likely to be the one to top, if we ever do. Such an amazing place to explore 🙏
See you Thursday, mate!
@@TheSillySwagman world records are getting broken everyday. Nothing wrong with high goal posts 😂
I just got excited for when you do top this one. 👊
Super excited for Thursday 😁
Damn I just paid attention that’s Scotty right there lol🤣🤣
This is how I spend my date nights, fresh caught salmon a hot beer and the two of you! X
Man, what a grand finale! That waterfall was beautiful. Such a paradise!
Mattsy what ever you do don't throw your hat away. In years to come it will bring back good memories. PS. I know a good taxidermist who will do your hat cheap 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha! That’s hilarious 😂
And don’t worry, I would NEVER throw this hat away. I’m actually thinking of framing it with a couple photos around from the big trips. Maybe. Something along those lines anyway 🙏
Absolutely love the camaraderie and banter between you both, I'm huge fan of both of you so its nice to see you guys exploring together, its one thing to enjoy nature alone but its another thing altogether to enjoy it with a brother. Thank you for another great video mate, much love from the UK.
39:17 ...what a shot.
Fantastic video again, love seeing you boys out together. ❤😊
Bloody awesome video man. What an amazing spot. Glad you didn't die, you were close.
A lot of words of wisdom and a new hat 😂😂😂…I had been waiting for this……
I can’t believe you hit that huge rapid… you are a mad dog …
Never again will I attempt that rapid. Words can’t describe that felt 🤣
Fun times
Love the trips when you both join up, 😊
Excellent upload and even better the two of you together…. Great banter!! Nice hat 👍🏻
Criminally undersubscribed. What a wonderful part of the world and a great vid to showcase it. Cheers fellas 👍
Well done mate, the go pro footage ended up coming out pretty good. Also loved your hearing your memories of being a kid in an aussie summer storm. We have had a few here over the last few days, and when the hail storm its my kids are also outside collecting it all up 😄
Well that is some bush therapy all right! What an extraordinary place ... thanks for taking us along again.
Thanks
It was an extraordinary four days of fun on the fast-flowing river and camping on a great beach, my friend 👍👍👍👍 42:11
The footage in the gorge is just incredible!
Ride the dragon 😂 great video mate
Simply bloody majestic. Thanks again ❤
What a great video Mattsy, and what a lovely epic place to discover, its just beautiful. Nice to see you together with Scotty (makes it also a bit safer too:-).Let me see how I can support your cannel from over here a bit. Take care and cant wait to see your next vid. Many greetings from Germany, Michael 😍👍
Great video. Absolutely cracking landscape and views. Although as a Mum of boys you did give me a heart attack at one point. I won't spoil it for those who haven't watched yet but I'm sure you can guess which part I'm talking about.
Priceless adventure. You and Scotty make a fun trip.
Haha it is always a fun time that’s for damn sure. Thanks ma for watching mate
Glad to see atleast one of the Kelly Gang is still around & paddling..! Congrats Scotty, all the best for the upbringing, you're gonna have fun & hell but it's all worth the effort. Great adventure guys.
That was awesome Mattsy what a journey and the waterfall at the end well that was something else.
First time watching your videos. Oh the beautiful scenery of that place. Where were you guys? Scary ride through that rapid.
One of the best adventures yet, what an awesome watch!!
Some of those rapids looked pretty heavy boys 😮 Whole trip looked magic nice diversity of weather always makes for a good time. Carry that boulder out I dare yah😂 That creek did look like pretty good gold potential.
Yeah the weather was unreal. Just can’t believe how often and how quickly it was changing. Have the trip a real funny vibe.
That rock 😂 We never used to even think of gold and now we see some bedrock or something and we’re like “Gold ya reckon?” 🤣🤣
That was epic. Thank you Mattzy. You've done it again.
Got a good laugh in this one with you 2 nut cases lol. Great job to both of you, Look forward to watching Scotty's version of this too. What an epic spot to finish off as well, god damn.
Mattsy you are adorable and so funny. Love your videos. You absolutely crushed those rapids except for the tip over on that drop. But yes, you did well. I've rafted rapids and they're not easy. Love the new hat . Very cool. Thot for a moment that you tossed the old one, but nope - there it was. So Scotty is going to name his first born after you. What an honor mate! Greetings from the states. Wisconsin. Take care.
Another awesome trip and video brother! That waterfall spot is insane! Had to have a silly swagman shirt so we'll see how long it takes to get the US haha. Pumped about your future travels and vids you have coming.
Good on you Mattsy! Nature heals all wounds hey buddy! Wanted to be out there, especially that epic waterfall at the end. PS Have been in some pretty gnarly rapids both here and in NZ; and survived haha.
Absolutely stunning scenery. Hope your hand is ok! Thanks for another great video.
YES MATE 15K HERE WE COME BOYS. Stellar vid as always mate!!
Cheers for the ride..stunning
M@ci. Thanks for sharing this epic video. I’m glad last time I called your words ‘insights’ rather than a benediction. Your insights have been soul resting. Thanks for taking us ‘there’ and taking time to share those occasions where you genuinely get excited about exciting places. Thanks Digga!
(PS:I like Rob Parsons and Levi as well).
😊😊😊
Champion
Such a great trip. Scenery incredible. Perfect way to emd it, under that waterfall
Offt that video ended in paradise 🙌🙌 good find mate!
Solo Man 😊
Nice one fellas. Looks pretty bloody epic!
Love it. Wish you had a swagman hat available in Canada! *hint hint
Epic way to end the video 🙌🙌. What a spot!
Such an incredible spot 🙌
That’s was soooo good mate.
Thank you 😊
Excellent trip! One of your best vids! Love the banter.
Yeww, nice one mattsy. Looks like you got some more water flow than we did which would’ve been nice! Such an awesome zone 🙌
On this, do yourself a favour and swap your raft for one with a Tzip and self bailing!
Thanks mate! Yeah we were pretty lucky. Been a while since I’ve run anything with a decent water level 😂
As for the raft, this was a borrowed one, I do have a self bailing gnarwhal with T-Zip but it was three hours north of where I was. Although that raft did also have a Tzip.
@@TheSillySwagman ah thats lucky! The spot you said would be a great campsite we actually spent the night at and can confirm she was a beaut 👌
Pure awesomeness Mattsy. What a trip! Thank you.
Great adventure you two, love that youve found your pace back with humour in your vids! Cant beat a good old washing machine and what a place to be doing it all! Keep them coming
38:49 Get that shot commissioned into an artwork and raffle it off to your Patreons when you hit your subscriber goal I reckon.
Nice Work Swag- beautiful scenery - crikey, scotty gonna have a little kangaroo hoping about soon. Congrats to him and his chick.
COOL HAT!
The joy was just oozing from both of you, great trip!
Livin the dream, keep up the good work bud!
Great vid Matsy ( and Scotty ) I enjoyed watching that 👍
incredible Mattsy, as always. I have to tune in when you post a video, loving the content from Colorado.
Beautiful scenery, loved the vid cheers from NewZealand.
Awesome waterfall find! Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes boys, smash those rapids! That was bloody epic! The waterfall scene at the end had me welling up a bit, I'll be honest. I know you've had some tough times recently, so that must have been the perfect tonic. But the main question is what happened to Pack Rafter??
Thanks a lot mate, that’s very kind of you to say. That waterfall experience at the end was so incredible surreal, it was so hard to describe it. It was definitely a nice reminder of what there is out there and how healing those places can be. 🙏
And don’t worry! Pack Rafter is still here, I was just borrowing a mates because mine was a few hours in the other direction 👌
Epic Adventure. Thank you for sharing and be safe ❤
Great video mate keep em coming 🎉
You’ve done it again Matsy! What an epic adventure. After the last packrafting trip u blokes went on, u both deserved that incredible spot. Is that a new pack raft I spotted? What is it?
Great Trip Matzy what a great chunk of the aussie bush and an awesome paddle
Great video Matty.
Got to watch this one first before Scotty’s film. 💦🏝️
Me too
Haha legend! But also good idea, let’s face it, the visuals from Scotty’s camera work and the NZ landscape are going to be pretty bloody incredible 😂 Hard act to follow
🙌🙌
You and Scotty (@scotty gone walkabouts) are legends mate, keep up the good work
Love it👌🏻
Great vid! Loving the adventures💪
Mattsy one of your best videos yet mate. You and Scotty nail it together.
