We could tell from watching the show that you must have done so much work to prepare for your time out there. It's really interesting seeing your process in action. That makes sense now why you guys weren't using bows and arrows. We were wondering why it was allowed in season 2 but not season 1. We could tell from the beginning of the show that you would get far. Seems like a lot of it was won or lost before your time out there even began. Putting weight on beforehand was such a clever move as well as researching all of the state regulations to narrow down the location. Well done!

Lot of fun, saw the show and thoroughly enjoyed it, Been to Tasmania many times and yes can be very wet with the cold. Wow. Great challenge.

(Opens bacon) Labrador 'magically' appears lol. So adorable.

@OutbackMike 11 місяців тому

😂😂😂yes. Well noticed.

Great work Mike. I love that there is someone out there that actually takes the preparation for this seriously. From what I saw last night, youve got this in the bag.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thanks. I wasn’t the only prepper. Not sure if the others will release videos about their prep though.

@ehoefsmit Рік тому

Loved the first few episodes! So cool to see how people prep for it. The weight gain part sounds brutal, especially for someone like you who is more used to starving! I know the show is already over but rooting for you!

Its fascinating to watch your bush food preparation - wishing you all the best

You picked the correct location! Enjoying the series so far and enjoyed your previous Kimberley show too. You need tips from Gina on how to put on weight :)

Dog would have been stoked to have you back after your stint in Tassie.

@OutbackMike 10 місяців тому

Yep!!!🐶🐶🐶

@tassieadventureman Рік тому

Great edit mate. I also narrowed it down pretty well to Tassie and just concentrated on that environment. Looks like you live in a peaceful place mate. I’ll be sure to come visit later in the year.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Awesome mate. It was so good catching up with you on Monday,

@nicholasbrunning 11 місяців тому

Congrats to you both!❤ and both to you; My partner and I bought 40+ hectares of Forested land in North West Tassie and I'll be moving down to the land in 2 months(mid winter). Considering the budget, I won't have much more than 10 items and nothing but available wood to keep warm. Your journeys will serve me well. I'll need the lessons 😅

@glennchristensen9034 11 місяців тому

Gday Mike, great job on the show mate very impressive to see your bushcraft skills at work and the preparation you took is off the hook - inspiraitonal. just a couple of quick questions about the casting for the show - how did they prevent cheating (people smuggling beef jerky sewed into their jackets / sleeping bags etc)?! and was anyone allowed on the show that had prescription meds - eg: high blood pressure pills or the like? onya mate, hope you claim the win.

@OutbackMike 11 місяців тому

Thanks Glenn. I can’t discuss all those details freely sorry but there are procedures to ensure you can’t smuggle stuff in.

@cowboy6591 Рік тому

When they say Bacon they mean Porkbelly Bacon not the lean Canadian ham you had on the cutting board.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Yep. I wasn’t vet good at doing it myself so I saw a dietitian. That’s the next episode.

@AlloffroadAu Рік тому

Pity you could not take a bow, I watched episode one and two, and people dropping out like flies...

@OutbackMike Рік тому

A bow would have been so much better!

@Jerry-ds4ye 4 місяці тому

My Dude, that body tho...❤

@dilligaf0220 Рік тому

I would've spent more time learning how to set a tarp, that you could bounce a coin off of.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Yes that’s important. I thought long and hard in advance and practiced a range of different set up’s depending on what I’d find out there.

@RangiJackson 11 місяців тому

Hope you got fat. Fat does not make fat. Good luck on the journey x

@5uga 4 місяці тому

Fat actually doesn't make you fat. This is a misconception. Carbohydrates in excess are going to make you fat.

@cowboy6591 Рік тому

It takes more than fat to gain weight, You need Fat, Glucose, Sugar, and breads to pore it on. AQ plate of Spaghetti will do you more justice than steak, or pork will. The two combined will benefit 3 fold on weight gain. Starches my friend, think STARCH!!

@OutbackMike Рік тому

My next Prep video will show the full diet plan (from a dietician) that I end up doing. It has plenty of starch.

@fisher898 Рік тому

Watched the first show last night. Oh dear ! What rubbish. It was embarrassing to be an Australian. Will give one more try and hope that was just a one off. I mean, to get everything wet. To not keep some dry tinder. The list goes on of basic things which they didn’t seem to have any idea about.Mike, you have to be odds on to win.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Different people have different perspectives.

@heartshapedisle Рік тому

As a person who lives in lutruwita and has been to takayna camping and to protect from logging/mining I was cringing at the lack of skills. Not keeping dry clothes and tinder. Not collecting rainwater. Episode 3 won me back. Give it a go. Mind you that area is an intentionally flooded place hence all the dead trees. The natural forest is stunning.
