- I head back into the bush for an epic weekend of fishing, bushcraft and exploration. I sleep in a cave, fish a beautiful river, cook up a feast and just enjoy myself in the Aussie wilderness.
Hope you all enjoy.

First the wombat, then scenery, then the cave. You found heaven on earth. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Heaven on earth? Its full of spiders and snakes, id be terrified lmao
You seem easy to please.youd probably like my cooking even.
There's something calm and Zen about your videos. I love 'em!
Thanks mate
True they chill me out
A “ beer weir”- I love it, and so Aussie! An essential bushcraft skill!👍😂
Also, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. It is such a joy for those of us who are unable to get out there and explore the beauty of nature.
Please don't be disheartened by fishing. The best pleasure is to just be amongst nature and experience the peace of wildlife and the environment. It is a bit like golf in the sense that you're there for fun, fresh air and the great outdoors. The beautiful shots or fish you land are a lovely bonus. Also, it is quite difficult to fish with lures as a first timer without instruction. Bait works best and it is also true that our rivers, estuaries and oceans have been over fished but most are making a comeback. Please keep doing what you do. Those of us with very young children, disabilities etc really appreciate your work and passion for the environment as we currently can't explore the bush but can experience joy vicariously through your work in the meantime. Thank you
Well said Elissa. Exactly what I would have said 👍
Well said mate
Hello from the Southwestern US. I liked your video. You've got a calm demeanor and a quite way that makes the escapism that you portray very enjoyable. It made me want to go to Australia for a vacation. I'll look forward to future videos.
@10:26 Even how remote and wild this is , you can distinctly hear the hum of a jet engine overhead. Its incredible how we have taken over this planet as a species. But this countryside is just amazing. Thanks for sharing again Scotty.
I really enjoy your videos. Australia has some beautiful wilderness areas. I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio in the USA. This is as close I'll ever get to Australia...thank you for sharing your lovely country! I subscribed so I won't miss any of your videos.
He does well
I liked when you gently said "don;t be an idiot and collect that firewood" LOL. Good way to teach those who don;t know hahaha. Cheers
Music from 24:05 - 26:20 was fantastic! Great vid too mate, inspiring me to get out on the kayak a little more! Cheers
I hit like without watching yet, why? Because Scotty is always quality!!
Agreed
👍
Getting some bot praise.
Tristan Bulluss nahhh mate, iv followed Scotty from way back!!
It's only the second video of his i've ever watched and i did the same thing haha
They just keep getting better. Beautiful photography. Enjoyed it immensely. Thanks mate.
.......Great video, Scotty, and beautifully done. This is one of my favorites !!....Thank you for teaching respect and preservation of historical artifacts and locations.....You have asked for input and fishing tips to catch more fish....I am no expert but I will try and be brief on what works for me......You fish waters that are great looking and usually are very clear.....Your choice of rod and reel is a popular one. Clear water calls for line that is harder to see....my favorite for panfish ( eating size ) is six pound test...8 at the most. Smaller lures catch big fish too. I use 1/16th to 1/8th oz leadhead jigs and carry a small assortment of plastic grubs and twister tails up to 2 1/2 inches long in several colors. I carry a few small foam floats (corks) just big enough to float the lure to allow a slower and longer presentation in the deeper pools ...or you can fish jigs without the cork and bounce them along just off the bottom and around structure like trees and dropoffs..... Fish seek their comfort zones just like humans do....If the upper layer of water is too warm or cold for them....they go a little deeper.....They are also sensitive to bright sunlight because they have no eye lids......so look for them along shady banks or in deeper pools.....With this type of gear I have caught many fishfrys and hard fighting bass that caught me by surprise.....You have to play them longer and try to keep them away from snags.....Hope this works for you......Good fishing and best wishes ......
Insane beauty in the Aussie bush created by Scotty. Spectactular scenery captured in varying light ... reflections contrasting better than mirrors. What an exceptional prized vlog this one is. You are a credit to your passion Scotty and we all thank you for sharing these magical moments in time on your adventures. Going to be very difficult to top this mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Definitely pigs diggings, they love the bracken roots to eat. Love all your vids, I look forward to seeing more.
@Jorn Navarre I go out hunting them with my bow when I can. Bushwalking here in OZ you see them often. Especially in the NewEngland tablelands NSW where I live. Good bushwalking here. I am a member of the Inverell Bushwalking club.
I consider you a very lucky young man, Scotty, to be able to trek out for only 2 hours and come upon such beauty. I am old enough to remember doing that same thing here in the USA on a crisp winter's morning. But, sadly, these places, in many parts of our great land, are becoming over used by people who do NOT have the respect for nature and the responsibility for stewardship of the wilderness. They leave behind a trail of plastic and tin and other garbage which has no place in the wilderness and they care little about policing up after themselves, as if there will be some kind of "magical" cleanup crew coming in after their departure to pick up their mess.
I have few things left on my "bucket list" but one of them is to visit Australia and your neighbors to the east of you in New Zealand. I have a need to lay eyes on your natural beauty and to hear and feel the climate and the sights and sounds of your outback and the wonderful places which we do not have the opportunity to have here for our outdoors pleasure.
Keep up the nice videos and don't let a few ornery fish get to you, I have thrown baits of all kinds and descriptions from casting, spinning, deep sea, and surf, and fly rods at those fish and I know that, once you learn to think like a fish, your luck will improve immensely. Regardless of the fishing luck, you still have the benefit of all of those wonderful pristine wilderness scenes in your "backyard" of which to enjoy and be thankful for the chance to be a part.
Nothing beats worms and a float mate love your channel always enjoy seeing the bush in other spots... cheers from W.A
i love the sounds on your channel. thers no dogs barking or horns honking.. no annoying kids or garbage trucks. i miss the outback
I’ve recently been watching joe robinet and a couple other similar American/Canadian bushcraft channels and finally found a few Australian ones , feels good watching content with familiar landscapes 🤙🏼
Keep going with the fishing, it will pay off. Absolutely stunning area mate. Thanks for sharing.
Epic video mate, that halloumi and vege couscous looked outrageously good 👌🏻
This is the first episode I’ve seen and I hit like instantly thank you for sharing
Best outdoors videos on CZcams. Well done!
Mate loved the little cave camp and when you made the gin and tonic while cooking made my day….. well done mate😊👍🏻
I must say, my good man, you have outdone yourself at dinner once again.
That’s what I need when I get out of bed.....an overhanging rock!!!!!
regards from cuba,i do enjoy a lot your videos,its show the beautiness from your beloved australia.keep doing such a great videos my friend
I really enjoyed this video. You film in a way that really shows off the area you’re camping in. Very enjoyable! 👍
Scotty we are enjoying your adventures and can't wait to see you catch a fish 🐟 good luck pal
You just can't help but love the splendor of the Aussie bush.
When we find ground like that here in the Southern United States, It's wild pigs. You guys have some way different cridders in the Down Under. Great camp spot! Thanks for sharing!
Scotty!!! Your vids are going next level mate!! Well shot!! Obviously spending all that time in the wilderness is allowing you to really take in and share such amazing vistas! So inspiring.. I can’t wait to get out and about and do some solo camping. Cheers bud, keep it up!
dont fret about the fishing no big deal mate ... your vids i dont think you realize just how amazing they really are !!! your in a league all your own the scenery is like INCREDIBLE the only way we get to see it this way this close is by your hard work and love for what you do i will do a big yeee hawww the day you do get your fish but i dont think you catching a fish could top what you already are doing amazing mate the cooking ... its just relaxing listening to ya talk lol 🌲🇨🇦🌲 thank you from new brunswick canada from me and my wife she enjoys your channel too !!!!
That’s one itchy wombat. So awesome!
why is it that i love watching someone starting a camp fire. Thanks Scotty, love the vids mate
Great video and fantastic spot for sure! Don't give up on the fishing, that first fresh caught meal in the bush will be awesome. Sending along good fish vibes from Newfoundland Canada. Cheers mate!
Awesome opening montage brother. You'll be at a million subscribers before you know it. Granted, the natural beauty of Australian might help you a bit. 😊But your presentation for a one man show is excellent, and your music selections are very emotive. Well-done, sir.
That wombat scratching his bum made my day.
I like that you put the fishing on your vid even though no fish were caught
Social media these days normally only show success and young people come to expect success all the time
It's very important to see that sometimes it doesn't work out
PS hunting and fishing is more misses then hits, don't get discharged
Cant be good at everything mate. Fishing aint your thing but living like a king in our beautiful country is. Cheers to a hectic video.
Loving the b roll you are doing at the moment. Your content and skills just keeps getting better and better. Well done mate and as always thanks for sharing your walk about adventures.
Excellent video mate love every minute of it . 👍🏼
Scotty your videography is very good, love the opening shots. There is a Zen quality with your trips, one feels at ease with you.And Thanks for wearing the hat, Scotty's Back.. Peace..
What a wonderful world!
So beautiful place...👍👍😊
Australia is very beautiful place on earth!!!! One day i will visit! Great video!!
Brilliantly edited opening really beautiful always good seeing your trips and what your up to. Cheers for putting the time and effort in great stuff dude.
Maybe the Universe is telling you not to hurt the fishies 🙂 Absolutely love your videos they motivate me to get out and enjoy nature again 👍🏻
Awesome vid, mate. One of the very few channels I will happily sit through hour long content enjoying it from start to finish. Music was a perfect match too lad. 🇦🇺👍
You are the luckiest guy in the world to be able to go and camp out in places like you are that place right there is such a dream keep the good work up
Incredible video as always Scotty. What an amazing spot. Nice work mate 👍
One of the best video i’ve never seen !
Yes mate the dug up ground is Wombats in winter they forage harder and do funny stuff like this i have a few around my house and been watching what they do for yrs! Cheers big fan i watch your vids with huge respect thanks..
Been watching you since 800 subs Scotty and you make me want to go out camping every weekend ay well if I could! Keep doing what you love mate. Loving the vids. Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi .
I could say so many good things about this video, but suffice it to say, that is one very special place and thank you for taking us along !!! Cheers.
Scrape the sharp of your knife up & down against , the paper birch bark repeatedly.Get it supper thin with sheer thinner pieces & that will light up very quickly. Awesome video 👌👍❤️
Ok
Awesome video mate, thanks for sharing and what a great spot 👍
Cheers shad.
Excelente lugar para acampar, como siempre excelentes tus vídeos amigo. Saludos
1hr 4mins of pure relaxation. Scotty I can’t believe this is your winter time. Here in England, our winters can be harsh. Top quality video. Thanks again mate & all the best from us in Sussex England 🏴
our Sydney region in winter is nice during the day but can get very cold at night, August to September are when our westerly winds start and get rather freezing but Scotty will still be out in it LOL
Another virtual tour of the Australian wilderness! Always excellent. Thank you, Scott. Always happy to see a new video. :)
Great choice of food for camping.. yummy
Definitely an amazing place Mr. Scotty. Your drone footage was gorgeous! Keep up the great work sir. I'm really enjoying this channel! Although, I call shenanigans on any season that calls itself winter when you can wear short sleeves and the leaves are still on the trees. That's just wrong. Cheers man!
One other tip. When your lure gets snagged and you have to resort to pulling to get it loose, pull straight back to save breaking your rod tip!
It's nothing short of amazing ... your awesome trips into the gorgeous Australian outback ... and you make it so interesting to see ... thank you Scotty ... for sharing !!
Howdy! That's Texan for G'day! =) 36:45 That definitely looks like the work of pigs to me. I'm in Texas and we have a lot of them here. They will absolutely destroy anything in their path as they root around looking for roots and grubs to eat! Also, I'm loving your videos as I make my way through them all. I'm glad I found your channel. I knew Australia was something special, but you've really blown me away with just how beautiful it is and your amazing videography skills! Keep up the great work!
Fishing - try to match the lure to the colour of the water if possible. soft plastics work a lot better and are much cheaper. You should also be targeting sunrise/sunset. Learning different retrieve techniques will help a lot too. Catch em!
@Jorn Navarre definitely in the fresh water.. salt water has actually been more productive in the winter.. for me personally
If the lure is the same colour as the water how will the fish be able to see it ?

Hey Scotty mate open ya eyes. There were already about 40 "fishermen" down on the water before ya, little black ducks. Haha
Wow. Just wow. Again. Your cinematic shots are up there with the professionals. Always a delight to watch your vids. Brilliant. So there are no fish in Australia. Thanks for confirming.
Amazing video, one of your best!!! Thank You.
Thanks for posting this. Simply awesome (as usual) Scotty. 👍😃
Very clean nature place to camp.
Your eating and now I'm hungry ! Funny how that works !!! Thanks for another great video ! Really beautiful places that you get to show us !!!
Looks like the area around Rylstone. BTW do not worry about camping in an old abo cave. I am abo from around Wisemans and I reckon every overhang in australia has been camped in. Only dickheads would resent someone taking shelter in an overhang.
That was a cracking spot to spend a few days mate, what an awesome country this is! Keep the videos coming! P.s. I'm having about the same luck with the fish!
For me, European, it is quite interesting to see new plants in your videos that I haven't seen, wombats, etc. Also it is cool that north is the warm side while here south is the warm side. And also in our hemisphere the sun moves from left to right when looking at south. So when you look at north in Australia does it move from right to left? Very interesting. Never been to the southern hemisphere.
Ahoj Scotty moc pěkné video 🙂🌲👍🌲🌲
Another awesome video!, as always thanks for taking us along on these great adventures! Once again you prove why your Australia's top CZcams channel!
Thanks a lot Rick.
OMG the bit with the wombat made my heart SING!
The dug up ground can be pigs or a wombat looking for yams. In the southeast coastal rivers bass migrate down stream to brackish waters in autumn to breed and head back around the end of spring. Plus when the water temperature stay below 12c the native fresh water crayfish go into hibernation and reemerge when the water temperature stays above 12c. So that could be the reason why there is no fish. I assume you were on the south coast if not I can not reason why you didn't,t catch a fish. Great video again Scotty.
Me and my girlfriend will be doing the same trip as yours 😊 thanks for sharing your experience with us mate 👍🏽 excellent work 👍🏽
Oh man so good, oh man so good, am gathering that it's so good from that haha. Good vid mate
Another excellent video. If you’re where I think you are I kayak-fished that river over 2 days with a fish finder and I saw maybe 4 arches. I am a fisherman and only got one hit trolling a small crankbait. I was told the river was last stocked 4 years ago.
Another beauty spot mate. My wife's make up pads are my go-to fire tinder too. Haha. I use them to take the spark and made my own fat wood with timber from old pallets and wax to get a good flame started.
Ya man, that torn up ground looked like pigs to me, for sure. Also, bonus point for the beer weir! lol
Once again Scotty - your channel is a feel good channel. That amazing outback, music and filming is so comforting... Cheers the Danish Viking :-)
your channel is one of my favs!! thanks for the great videos!!
Another wow video. Loved the little intro bit too. I'd love to know what neck of the woods you're in here. It looks pretty nice to walk through. That bloody wombat was a pretty chilled character lol. Love it.
Man I love your videos! You should have a ton more subscribers. You completely enjoy and appreciate the wild places and I share your views on that. I truly wish you the best with you endeavours! Take care down south!
Great vid again Scotty. Don't beat yourself up to much with the fishing. Lure fishing can be difficult at times. You might have better luck bait fishing or using soft plastics, give that a try.
The dug up ground is more than likely the product of pigs digging around for roots and other edible underground vegetables. We see the same thing here in Mississippi with pigs so that's what it looks like man. Good luck on your adventures man, I'm truly enjoying them.
This guy is a joker I love it! Halloumi and kewpie?! Whilst camping!? This ought to be on masterchef ;) He eats better than most at home
Geez, take it easy on your knife, you brute! Good stuff!! Thanks for posting.
Wow I can’t believe there wasn’t any fish 😢 it was a beautiful day out in the bush tho thanks for the video
Beautiful shots !!!
Thank you for sharing
My goto fella for bush zen 💚
Aussie Aussie Aussie... oiii oiii oiii.. good video mate ..
Better than TV

Always enjoy watching your videos, thanks for your efforts. Beautiful spot, hate it when plains fly over, have that a lot here on our side of the planet.
Greetings from Holland
