The Silly Swagman G'day, I'm Mattsy. Jump over to my Youtube channel and follow along as I explore and setup camp in the Aussie bush.

I'll demonstrate some basic bushcraft and try my hand at a bit of campfire cooking.

I’m bout to drop the hottest track of 2025 tomorrow evening on the Silly Swagman YouTube Channel.

Sheepskin vest, eggs, mountains, what more could we ask for? .wherrett

Was awesome to be back out on the trails again.
We’ve done it again! 💪

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’ve really enjoyed slowing down and spending more time in the outdoors. Even if that often looks more like meal times beside the vehicle listening to the birds at a campground or somewhere by a river more so than out hiking the mountains necessarily. We joke about how it’ll be difficult to go back to living within the walls of a house and how it’ll have to be a small one with a big deck instead of a tele room. Hot showers won’t take much getting used to though. 😂

In no particular order:

Pic 1. Cool shot of very cool bush.
Pic 2. The crew.
Pic 3. I’m climbing the rocks that looked good.

Fair to say it’ll be a pretty cool vid if you’re into that sorta thing.

Keen to give this sheepskin vest a run in up in the mountains over the next few days! 🏔️

Bit warm in the day but gonna be nice and chilly in the evening around camp and this’ll be a welcomed luxury item. Might look too bulky for some but it’s extremely light, like a T-shirt almost tbh, I won’t notice a thing until I’m wearing it! 🙌

Another beautiful locally handmade piece by
