Mike you could be the new Les Hiddins for us. Your respectful and obvious interest in First Nations practices such as cool burning would round out the bush tucker and survival skills you already have.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thank you.

@heartshapedisle Рік тому

@@OutbackMike I'm super serious. My son loved Les and now he could watch with his sons. I hope you get an offer .

Missed the premiere but great seeing the behind the scenes prep. I'm not going to dis on any of the other competitors on the show and I think people apply for different reasons. But what I will say is that having seen the first two episodes it appears some people put in a lot more prep work with skills then others. I really liked your box trap and use of wire to make chicken wire. Having recently trapped a possum in a primitive cage trap (using only cordage and wood) while targeting a fox I was surprised by how small a gap they can squeeze through to escape. I hope if you did set one of these traps you were able to set a trail cam on it.

Thanks Rob👍

It is super interesting to see your preparation for the show. You are very thoughtful and disciplined

@OutbackMike 11 місяців тому

Thanks. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity so was worth the effort.

@moonjelly9 Рік тому

Great stuff Mike. Really engaging and genuine. Just like watching a whole new mini series!

Thanks Dave.

Great prep video Mike. Shows the absolute dedication you have for adventure.

Thanks 😊

@Zeddy-zq1lc Рік тому

Loving watching the episodes as they release with my wife and kids. It’s great to be able to point things out to t he m like your preparation and also your mental attitude towards being there for the long haul. Great stuff Mike.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thank you Zeddy.

10,000 calories a day! Looking at that weight gain chart at the end it seems like going to that nutritionist really paid off. Doing the rec in Tasmania was such a good idea. You must have been the most prepared person there.

@gustavcoetzee6837 Рік тому

Great preparation

@heartshapedisle Рік тому

I'm so sorry that you ended up at that location. A well regarded Tassie environmental expert described it well in The Guardian after the premiere "On top of all that, the selection of a gothically (and tragically) ugly location - a stretch of hydro reservoir littered with dead trees and with a bath ring of greasy mud. After seeing the ads, I was almost too scared to watch how this version of Alone treated Tasmania, but now that I've realised it's a comedy, I'm hooked." Geoff Law

@OutbackMike Рік тому

I like your sense of humour😂

@heartshapedisle Рік тому

@@OutbackMike that quote is from Geoff Law a well known environmental writer and activist. This being Tasmania I do know him 😂

@danielcheffins3666 Рік тому

Hi Mike, have been a fan of yours and Alone since covid forced us all to stay home and binge watch content. Was stoked when an Aussie series was announced and have enjoyed the first few episodes. Could you expand on what gear you took including clothing and tools.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thanks Daniel. I’ll put a video out about that stuff in future.

@pixiedadog 11 місяців тому

You are seriously amazing

@Aykosss Рік тому

Nice work mate. Looking forward to the series.

Thanks 👍

@rhoula Рік тому

Interesting. Thank you so much for sharing.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

No worries. Thanks.

@chialara5302 Рік тому

Love these thank you! I’ve been wanting to apply for a survival show for many years now… you are most inspiring!

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thanks Chia😊

@rlands5134fd 11 місяців тому

Well done👍 You certainly put a lot of effort into preparing for Alone.

@OutbackMike 11 місяців тому

Thanks. Yeah. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity so wanted to give it the best chance possible.

@Lukeslittletribe Рік тому

Mate I'm stoked I have gotten onto your channel through Alone. Your looking solid all ready after the first two efforts, and your previous adventures look amazing mate.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thanks Luke!

@headwerkn Рік тому

Great to see the behind the scenes prep, can’t wait for the next episode and see how you actually got on out there. Just be mindful of that drone footage: along with all our other regulations on everything, drone use is massively restricted here in Tasmania, basically anywhere managed by Parks and Wildlife (not just National Parks, but all Conservation Areas and Reserves). STT (state forest) areas are ok (though you probably should get prior permission).

@andrewoelofsen940 Рік тому

Good luck Mike I'm sure you will do well

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thanks 😊

Sir great 👍….love from India 🇮🇳

@leithmurray736 Рік тому

It’s now 8/04/23. Have watched all your videos regarding Australian Alone one.. Brilliant, well done. When I see your preparation work and your attitude to things , I think of the American Clay Hayes. Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself, but hear goes . On skill sets I think your the winner . If this becomes a reality, it would be interesting for you and Clay to do something together. Even if it’s only a discussion of your thoughts Wishing you all the best Leith

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thanks Leigh.

@joseph8852 Рік тому

Watched the first eps and hadn’t seen you since watching you build the log yacht First thing I noticed was how much weight you’d gained Good shit

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Yeah. It was big change in a short period of time.

@DeltaAssaultGaming Рік тому

What a Sheila!

@kayfrick7129 Рік тому

I've watched all the US seasons twice and wish that I could find a way to watch Australian Alone. I also watch some of the contestants UKposts videos about bushcraft and survival skills. I'm just in a FB group for your season and watching your updates so far. Sounds like an environment even worse than Vancouver Island! Hoping your Covid symptoms pass quickly so they aren't what takes you out.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

Thanks Kay😊

@kbmanufacturing Рік тому

Love it. Was it the Air Force that taught you to prepare so thoroughly or have you always been like it. If you don't win it won't be from a lack of preparation.

@OutbackMike Рік тому

My. Army and Airforce flying experience definitely helps me optimise my preparation. The survival adventures I’ve done (and mistakes I’ve made) help me to visualise what problems to expect.

@_roam.free_ Рік тому

How did the HE Atlas jacket hold up? I'm considering getting it, or their Odyssey v2 jacket. Their jackets seem to have one of the best water resistance to breathability ratings on the market. Are they worth the investment? Would you get it again, or go with something else?

@OutbackMike Рік тому

I’m thought it was good. I bought it for the same reasons. Yep I’d recommend it.

@jackfntwist Рік тому

There's something seriously wrong with you if you can't figure out a delicious way to eat an extra 6K calories per day and you have to eat shakes. LOL. Do you not like pizza, cheeseburgers, cheese, hotdogs, ice cream, bread, cakes, cereal??

@OutbackMike Рік тому

I love that stuff and ate as much as I could. It doesn’t taste delicious once you’ve stuffed yourself for days though. The thought of it made me feel sick. There’s only so much room in your stomach so what you eat needs to be super dense in nutrients, more so that many tasty foods.
