Hey folks, I hope you enjoy the vid. Keen to hear your thoughts about the lightweight swag. I can't wait to show you guys! Also, I would just like to say that I've had a few people ask me recently how they could support the channel, so I've decided to create a Patreon. If you enjoy my vids and find value in them, it would be great if you would consider supporting me. Thanks legends and I hope you're all well! www.patreon.com/scottysgonewalkabouts

Lightweight swag sounds good. How does it differ from a lightweight bivy though?

Hey, Scotty, my name is Tony Yardley. I live in Alabama. I used to do a fair amount of camping when I was younger as I live near the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. Now I’m 67 and disabled and don’t get around so good. One of my dreams was to visit Australia but now it will never happen . Thank you for giving me a real taste of the Australian countryside. I look forward to your videos.

Hey Fred, Real sorry to hear about the health issues, but super glad you had the pleasure of Alabama and all those golden years of camping, 99% of other people could only dream of! I've always dreamt of camping out that way for a week or more myself, one day after I fix a few health issues I'm facing myself! All the best pal

Being disable doesnt mean it stop here. At least you have been there and done that with your camping experiences in Alabama. Its your knowledge that will never stop and to continue by sharing with us all newbies. Loves Hayliee (Brisbane, Queensland) Australia.

Amen to that!

Making this swag shows true character mate. If the end product is something you would use with confidence while camping, then fellow Bushmen would think the same. 👍

Finally a swag that will be designed for hiking and lightweight camping, not to be lugged around in a 4wd. Swags have moved so far from the traditional bedroll to accomodate thicker mattresses and more luxurious features that they have become completely impractical. I was searching for a decent quality lightweight swag for so long and the best I could come up with was the Darche Urban Nomad 700. Great idea Scotty and I think that I would definitely be interested in purchasing one in the future if you ever decide to manufacture it, it would be fantastic to have a swag you could take hiking. Keep it up and I love the channel 👍

im not sure how this gentleman could get a thumbs down ... but show kindness to dislike and make this world a better place !!! awsome video just a absolute treat to watch this mans videos and the spectacular views Australia has to offer ... thank you from 🇨🇦

She sure is a beautiful spot mate, you can't beat getting out doors and appreciating our glorious Australian bush

Amazing video! The effort you put into making this is insane, as a videographer myself - huge respect. Really relaxing style and feel like I’m in the bush with you. Been getting addicted myself this year to solo camping - going this weekend in a forecasted thunderstorm. Wish me luck! Greetings from Canada

Love how peaceful and calming your videos are, they are very helpful during these stressful times in the world

W O W ! You've outdone yourself with the scenery on this trip Scotty. What a magical place. I'm intrigued by your compact swag idea too. I'll look forward to seeing how that progresses. Thanks for yet another awesome video. 😀

Perfect camp site. The sound of the stream and crackling of the fire. So peaceful.

Great footage of the Rakali in it's natural habitat. It's great that there are still area's where nature is doing well.

I'd grab a swag, never understood why they are so heavy.

canvas + the foam betting inside. honestly though in my opinion modern day swags are so much greater then a tent in terms of comfort. the price you pay is its big af and a bit heavy ,but i can look past that.

Even single swags are way too bulky for carrying on backpack but great out the back of a 4wd which is what they are designed for

Lovely footage with splendid primordial vistas and resources - Many thanks for producing and kindly sharing the moments Scott. Be well - Be happy & Best wishes ! 🙏

There is something special about being in the aussie bush. Standing close to a fire, with your favorite drink and appreciating the awesome beauty of mother nature, plus enjoying a fabulous meal! Mate im here in Melbourne during another lockdown and really cant wait to venture out into the bush again. I am really enjoying the content you are producing. Awesome work, oh and that swag looks to be a winner.......

I live in Western Australia. Just came back from a three day camping trip in the bush. No loos, no power, no phones, just a river, fire and the bush. Was brilliant! Lamb shanks, beef goulash, left overs for dinners. Ah! You can’t beat it!

Your video's are on another level. You elevate me, when I'm down and I need it the most. Thank you.

I'm watching from Shinjuku (Tokyo), the centre of a 38 million people metropolis. I'm returning home to Australia in September and seeing this has me so hyped to come back. I've loved hiking and camping all over the Japan, with all its conveniences like high speed trains direct to/from trail heads, but I can't wait to come home and just sit by a creek and listen to the kookaburras.

Thanks again Scotty. Been getting ready in a haste to get back out bush, but thankfully your vid has done the job again and reminded me to slow down and enjoy what Aussie nature has to offer. And not look this camping trip as a project, but as an awesome escape from the NOW. Still in our backyard, yet seemingly a million miles away. Thanks mate as always. Ya bloody legend.

Geat idea on the Swag Scotty. I'd definitely buy one. All other swags are way too big and ive looked for a portable one for ages. Hope it all works out

Not sure what the difference is with this L:ight Weight Swag and a sleeping bag and bivy would be...

Such a lovely & calming site you have chosen, running water sounds in the background & bird song. like your tent plenty of room for 1 person. Travel safely

Well done Scotty, absolutely the best camp spot ever. I didn’t want the video to end. Love the swag idea, sure would be handy out on the kayak.

Your dinner looked amazing. It’s funny how food tastes much better outdoors. The music is so relaxing too. Thanks for posting again. Safe travels.

Who else here hits the like button before watching? Epic vid as always mate! Thanks for taking us along. Keep em coming Scotty. Cheers!

Absolutely love your adventures, Scotty. The way you're presenting makes it so immersive that it feels like you're taking us with you on your trips. Learned a couple of neat and interesting things on this journey too. :)

So relaxing to watch. Loved it!

Great video mate,the beauty of Australia you captured it in all it's glory. Ya bloody good at building a fire to Scotty and not half bad at pimping up a packet of noodles. The light swag sounds like a goer to me,looking forward to the great reveal in a future video. Todaloo till next time.

If there was a heaven, it would look like this. My love the bush is endless and it’s because of places like this. Thank you Scotty

Last time I was so early corona was just a beer.

Great that you are back with consistent videos. Missed you and the Bushcraft Telly line!

Love your work Scotty, hope you are staying safe. Planning some camping with family as I watch your release.

Ahhh the serenity! Mate, what an awesome setting. Also that music is perfect for that intro. Going to look into Pat Devlin and throw him some love as well for sure.

That's a brilliant idea, I can't wait to see it.

Loving your vids so much at the moment as we are back in lockdown here in Melbourne so no hiking/camping 😢

Hey scotty. Loved the video. The landscape was totally different and beautiful from past videos. Landscape green and snaky stream setting looked so not so “expected” from australian bush. Thank you.

I love the idea!. Can't wait to see it.

Mate, what a fantastic video showcasing some incredible Aussie bushland! I love what you've put together here and you've definitely earned yourself another sub!

Great spot, just subscribed, seen a few clips and like what i have seen. I agree with what you say about swaggs today, their more like bloody heavy tents, as soon as you need a pole its a tent, can't wait to see you modern version of a swagg. Keep up the good work. Tim....

You capture the the aussie bush better than anyone else ive ever come across. Thanks for the videos.

Props mate, upped your game in a big way. Love your work

G'day Scotty, great video and great idea on the swag. Having owned a couple of swags myself I'd definitely like to see a more lightweight and traditional swagman type swag on the market than what is currently available . Definitely worth looking into getting it manufactured. I reckon it would be a hit. Cheers 👊

Fletch 60 years ago at age 15 I hitch-hiked around Australia twice carrying my grandfather’s swag. It was a home-made tube of canvas with a sewn-in flanelette sheet. All my gear was rolled up in it and I carried it with a leather belt over my shoulder. Worked really well. Years later for pack-horse trips I bought a horse-riders swag made from oiled japara, very lightweight with a light foam mattress. Goes over the saddle easily and also fits into my narrow, tall rock-climbers rucksack.

Very nice photography, excellent music, a real good adventure. Thanks for the video...

I personally think that the lightweight swag is a great idea. I suppose its success will come down to how many people actually go hiking/camping or bushcrafting over here. It seems to be much more popular in the US or even the UK where we seem to go more for 4wd type camping. Maybe I just don't see it as much. I do know buying quality lightweight gear, that you see them use overseas, here takes a lot of hunting and is very expensive. Plenty of shops with the same brand name crap but once you try and get something a bit out of the ordinary you can struggle I have found. All the best with it mate I hope it works out for you and you have had enough experience to know what is desirable.

Beautiful spot! Can't wait to see your project 🤠

Top video, spotless location. Love Young Henry's and really appreciate your artwork on their cans.

wow, such a beautiful place; thank you for sharing it. You and yours stay well.

There are those places tucked away in this world of unique beauty that are a gift to mind body and soul. Georgous camera work. Thanks for sharing it with us. Cheers Mate 🍻😎

Another brilliant video - thanks!!!

Sounds perfect for bikepacking can’t wait to see it 🤗

Thanks a ton for the video Scotty!!! Definitely interested in the swag. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see you fish that spot!

The standard sawyer filters fit on Smart water bottles, as well as some other types of bottles. Might be helpful in the future.

Would love to see a vid on a full breakdown of your swag. Show us all the bells and whistles. Mi Goreng noodles. The stable food of Uni students everywhere. Love the vid. Magic spot. Take care brother.

Your music taste is top quality as always, always catch myself enjoying the music as much as I enjoy the scenery

Brilliant video scotty, loved the tarp set up to

Aussie bush at it's best, great summer camp with lots of shade and nice creek

Great vid, one of your best, throughly enjoyed.

just beautiful, got to love Australia.

Seriously beautiful camp spot and I love Young Henrys!

I’m loving the tarp setups your doing at the moment mate, great stuff!

Yes yes yes yes I have been looking for a light weight swag for ever for camping and hiking! Please make this and release into the market! Id buy one in a heart beat!

Hey Scotty, enjoyed the vibe of the episode mate. Nice and calm and you can see you really love and appreciate nature.

Yew Scotty! Thanks for your videos mate I love them!

Such Beautiful spot Thank you👍

Great work man, your videos are getting better all the time. Thanks for sharing that beautiful spot with us. 👍

Thank you sir, great video, prime time in our Dutch home.

Great vid Scotty and good luck with the swag. I'm still using the same swag after 30 years, the flat basic old style swag, love it.

Another great video Scotty! 👌👍

A lightweight swag? Definitely! We have two 'swags' that are big and bulky and that's all you can find. I'm not an experienced camper but when I've come across an old fire at a camp spot that still has the cold 'charcoal' left from a previous fire I am grateful because it doesn't take long for these to get going and add a wee bit of fuel to a fire. But yeah I get what you are doing and applaud the care you take of our beautiful country!

Totally get that thing made! Congrats on taking a passion and running with it. Good luck on getting it produced mate!

Incredible scenery!

Great idea, love to see it!

Yep Great initiative on the light weight swag Scott, Go for it get it done ! there will be hoards of people wanting one including myself. Loved this camp also pearler of a place.

Hey Scotty, the thing about those water filters is they screw right on to a smart water bottle wich is much more durable. So you can carry two plastic water bottles, one is just to put clean water into and one to get the unfiltered water in, then use the bag for backup. Cheers Mate! Good to see you out again.

The cnoc vecto bags are great I’ve used one with the sawyer squeeze for a couple years now and I’ve had no issues and I’m pretty rough on gear.

Really nice video, took me back to my younger days exploring and camping in western Pennsylvania. Thanks a bunch!! Regards, Jimp

mesmerizing place. thank you so much for sharing,

Another great vid Scotty. Loving the new wood saw. That spot looks like paradise hey? Beautiful. Thanks for the upload chief.

Loves your Indomie Mi Goreng! I always pack those about 5 packs whenever i do my motorcycle camping. Easy to prep with or without extra ingredients to go with. You could never go wrong with Indomie Mi Goreng, its either the noodles are soggy or still crunchy hard. Non fancy food item for me.

Love the idea of the swag mate. Waiting in anticipation 👍

You took us another beautiful adventure. Your choice of music fits the peacefulness of your videos perfectly. All the best from northern Canada 😊👍

As per usual another fab vidio thanks Scotty great spot to spend a great camp lov to be there.

Yessss!!! Having that swag would be so cool. Feel like I need it now!!

The swag is a great idea. Great for motorcycle camping!!!

Beautiful area, That brand of backpack you have there is the best! I have the 100ltr one and it so much easier to pack than any other I've tried

Sounds perfect Scotty, great idea for a lightweight swag. Great camping area.

Australia is simply beautiful good job

HI Scotty; It's good to see you out and about again mate with another beautiful video I truly appreciate and enjoy your content so keep up the great work and I look forward to your products release soon 👍🏾 ATB MY FRIEND

The lightweight swag is a brilliant idea Scotty. I've wanted something like it for ages

Mate, fantastic video. Only recently came across your Chanel and I have been binge watching and cannot wait to get out into the beautiful bush that this country has to offer. The light weight swag is an epic idea! Great work and I truly think there would be a big market for it

Hi Scotty I'm familiar with that issue with Sawyer bags and what I did was switch to "disposable" plastic water bottles like Smart Water or anything made by Pepsi brand with that particular cap threading. They work well if you drink directly out of the filter, and well enough for filtering into another container. It is necessary to vent the bottles while filtering, since they don't compress like bags. I would recommend using bottles over investing in bags since the cost is much lower and the life span of the bottles is much longer, plus, the bottles are fully recyclable if they ever do wear out. Hope that's useful to you. Cheers!

Great camera work Background music choices were excellent I'm really digging that folding saw And I don't know what a swag is (yet), but I think I'm going to need one

Two things: great fire making skills! Also nice editing. You've got some good camera angles, cuts and music. Oh, and lastly, thanks, because I haven't been camping this season, and appreciate the chill.

designing a light weight swag is definitely something to encourage. With your knowledge and experience and testing by a range of other outdoors types you will produce a useful item.

Great vid Scotty. The swag sounds like great ingenuity!! Would love to see more.

Really like the idea and design of a new swag,,cant wait to see it and maybe buy it,

Interested in hearing more about your custom swag , because I just recently purchased a kings kwiky hiking swag , still rather large for hiking really ,but it’s doable if the hike isn’t too far . Having a swag that’s lightweight would be excellent, as long as it’s rain proof . Keen too see it Cobber . Great vid as always . Thumbs up 👍.

On the subject of the swag - I'm keen to see what yours looks like and the specs - I've actually got a lightweight swag (found at a campsite) that Kathmandu sells in Aus. It's the Mono v2, 1.7kg and 16x36cm (doesn't have a mattress). Rrp $250, but on sale a lot at $150. Just as a point of comparison.

Verry relaxing places and beautiful so cool.

Yeah I'm interested in your swag idea too mate can't wait to see what it looks like. Keep up the good work

What a contrast, I did a day paddle two weeks back and a day hike last weekend at Tallowa, fire devastation on mass scale you would get a shock if you were up there now Scotty ... slowly green up some areas will take years. Have two videos if interested to see what it’s like. Thanks for taking us along on your walkabouts.

Great vid! Had to laugh when I saw that G&T soaking into you 😁 I know that feeling well. Swag is a great idea, sounds like the versatility will be its main selling point, very keen to see what it looks like.
