He’s done it again boys and girls! Nice stuff mate. That looked equally beautiful as it did brutal. The light on the mountains looked like a bloody oil painting. Big ups to ya for braving a blizzard in a tarp tent. That would have been a looong night.

The poet of KZfaq returns with more gold

The monologues got me in the heart as always ... I told you they'd make me cry! A lot of profound words there. Damn that snow though. A million views for Mattsy please for going through this for our entertainment!! 🙏

I actually felt guilty getting to view epic alpine scenery, in harsh weather conditions from the comfort of a warm house. While you did all the hard yards to bring it to us. Well done Legend, you've done it again! Next level effort this time!

Your smile makes me smile. Love the enthusiasm. Happy the car stared for you.

I love camping in the winter. Especially fall 🍁🍂

Canadian here! Something that might help with the snow blowing around in the tent in the future (and also help with the warmth): Once your tent is set up, shovel some snow all around on the base to create a barrier to prevent drafts from whipping through. Would also likely have helped reduce the amount of snow coming in as well

I always kept my boots, gloves, clothes in my sleeping bag to keep everything warm. Shove it all in a pillow case for a pillow or second pillow.

Mattsy your really nailing the production lately. Great scenery, matched by authentic and vulnerable words, humour, danger and all elevated by choice music. It’s a unique combination, no one else does it like you!

what an incredible adventurer you are. Oh so fearless, a survival guru. How you survived it out there is unbelievable. Only mattsy could do! 🎉

Hahahaha Your One of the Few folks I know that could make us Laugh during a bad snowstorm hahaha....Thanks

Good advert for a proper tent ⛺️- glad you survived. 👍🏻👍🏻

Another goodin Mattsy, I Thought you were done for in that snow storm 😅 He's done it again!

In Canada, we get snow anywhere from 4 months to 7 months of the year, depending how north or south you are. We embrace the winter, it's part of us. If you plan more snowy trips, invest in snowshoes, and a shovel, yes, but also a small sled. We don't carry our gear in the winter, we sled it behind us. Much easier. And the snowshoes hold your weight, not your weight and gear. Love your videos.

I really enjoy your philosophical thoughts!! You got it.

Wow! In the middle of winter you go hiking without your snow shoes & all that snow!!! I'm so glad I live in Western Australia lol where the closest I got to snow was climbing Bluff Knoll in Albany lmao. Mind you, I was originally born in the UK. However, I was very small when we immigrated. It was the best decision my parents made coming to Australia. Thanks for sharing your video with me. 🙂🫠🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Bloody hell Mattsy! That was a hairy one. Glad you got through it warm-ish and dry-ish. I guess that demonstrates why the Northern hemisphere folk always pile snow on top of the tent/tarp edges.

Those voiceovers you do Mattsy are amazing, always on point and inspirational. As for that snow, fair play to you. Another great video as always

You’re a gun! My favourite tuber go champion

That looked every bit as harsh (at least) as some of the Canadian youtubers I've watched. Good onya for braving the storms for as long as you did ..... it was literally chilling to watch. Glad your car started okay!

First time 👍 Long time ❤ you are a true combination of Artist and Adventurer love your Authentic Nature keep up the great Videos. Peace from the team at Healing Hikes Australia 🇦🇺

love the way u present your adventure ❤ Great inspiration !

Mate, def a warm choccy when u get home after this one fo sho!

Concerned we weren't gonna see you again for a minute there Silly!

Outstanding private Mattys. Looks like we’ve finally found something your good at. 😉

I'm not gonna lie, Mattsy, I really appreciate your philosophical speeches. They truly promote gratitude for life and wisdom. I appreciate your character mate, I truly vibe and resonate with you through your videos. How you act and the things you say I often laugh because its something I would say or do haha! - Your character; gives off that vibe of perseverance through trial and struggle and you display a sense of internal strength that doesn't give up. You contagiously spread gratitude and help remind others to enjoy the simpler things in life. And I truly appreciate your sense of humor - you seem to find the humorous and funny amidst the hardship and brutality that often comes through life experiences. As a sincere message to you mate, I sense that you carry pain in your heart, but also immense hope and strength, that in and of itself is powerful and will inspire many. You have so much potential in life and I want to encourage you to keep at it with your pursuit to escape the 9-5 grind and live out your dreams. I believe in you man. God Bless!

Awesome trip mate..great yo watch. Over here in U.K. .Aussie

Nuthnn to it. Just do it. Best saying I’ve heard for a long time

watching you from Colorado USA, loved the packrafting videos you did with scotty. Hopefully you two have more plans to camp together cause I enjoy yalls dynamic.

Awesome one Matzi ! Glad you got back safe

Looked bloody hard work mate, but at least no bugs! Fantastic scenery when it was visible though. It would be great if you could credit the music you use.

Looks like an amazing trip - extraordinarily beautiful and terrifying landscape! I admire that you managed to continue filming and bringing us along for the experience in those conditions. Thanks for another great video Mattsy!

Fantastic - you have done it again 👏👏

Absolute nutter. Love it!

Ever so eloquent, ever so poetic! Those words were beautifully written and said. Take care out there, Mattsy!

What a tough one!

Hey, on the plus side no flies!

You are correct sir, 8:47. We as humans have become accustomed to winning and have become entitled as a race. Cracking episode mate.

Mate you got balls of steel But it’s always an adventure and never a dull moment Love your work

Brilliant vid Mattsy, far braver man than me.

Should have packed snow between tent and ground. Anyways was funny watching you go thru all that... Great video mate 👍

Very real. Very cool. Instant sub after tthe poetry started. Thanks!

Those boots in the morning hahaha ... dude I'd of been sleeping with them in the bivy to avoid that haha. Also laughed at knowing your stress at how long it took to get your car started. Your videos are really coming into their own unique style and it's great seeing how well crafted each video gets.

Your vid just crossed my path, I heard the Aussie accent and stayed. Poetry from the heart, this abstract heart poet respects you. T.

Another cracking vid. The scenery and the words/questions you ask about the world and what we have done to it move me very deeply. And one cannot be anything other than inspired by your humour and cheerfulness. Brilliant stuff.

Wild episode mattsy 👌

Wow...what a beautiful place!! Thanks for sharing. Love your vids 😊

Awesome video! truly Inspiration 🙌

The boys back!! Awesome...keep em coming!

Eat ya heart out Scotty. Your move playa

Great video! Keep up the hard work !! I really enjoyed it

That was fantastic Mattsy. A great video mate. Thank you

Thanks for another great video. Love the monologues, it makes you feel like you’re there soaking up the majesty of it all. 💜💜

Mattsy… this was one of your best mate! The history, the VIEWS!, The poetry, the music, the philosophy, just one man on an adventure through life, pondering it all and enjoying the peace and beauty where he finds it. Just living… That’s why I appreciate this channel for this style of unique content. Keep it up. Ps… Mattsy be careful. Don’t freeze yourself to death mate. Take a full zip tent next time. Not supposed to tarp camp in a bloody blizzard!

Your videos are the best ….. soo full of nature emergencies…. And soo close to the edge of actual emergencies

Yep. You've done it again Mattsy. Brilliant video. Thanks.

Love ya work

Blue sky and sunshine ☀️

The OG will know and follow for the reason we all do 🫡 🇦🇺

Gosh that looked like a hard slog. Thanks for taking us along on another epic adventure and apologies for taking so long to watch your recent videos 😂 Cheers for introducing me to Red Blood Sun!

Awesome adventure Mattsy and thanks for taking us there. Stunning scenery and music match to boot, well done on keeping going….👍

Youve done it again! Fantastic vid mate, camera shots, philo thoughts, tunes, landscape. Bloody legend👍👍👍👍

Another great video my friend!

Awesome trip mate your adventures are true and unpredictable, look foreword to many more,

This is cool.

Epic mate!

Glad your vehicle started! Looking forward to your next adventure mate!

Another epic episode, hard to imagine myself in those conditions while sitting next a fire at home. That breeze coming under the tarp would be like a knife. Thanks for another snow camp .

Code red, Code red! Hands are cold af 😂

Great words, and outdtanding visuals...The whole package again from you, me old. Inspiring, wise, humble and honest. Thank you legend.

I feel you brother! Couple years ago I backpacked with my friend in shining rock wilderness in NC during a multi day snow event. 14+ inches of snow and neither of us had snow shoes. It was exhausting, and we barely made about 4 miles per day through those mountains. My feet were freezing, and I stopped to make an emergency fire because I was genuinely concerned my feet might get frostbite. My down quilt had accumulated moisture over the days and by the third evening it was tough to stay warm in my hammock. My 0 degree quilt was likely operating as well as a 20-30 degree one. Set off in the morning after taking a full hour to pry my feet into heavy, sodden, frozen leather and wool boots. Definitely an intense trip, and believe me I learned my lesson. Snow shoes next time. Keep getting after it man. enjoy every victory and learn from every mistake. I like the voiceovers.

Oh man. Great work and thanks for taking us into the snow so we don’t have to. What a night mare. Another great video man happy it ended well

Oh my goodness! That was equal parts exhilarating and scary to watch 😂. I’m glad you camped early and kept the cabin for another time. Breathtaking landscape, but brrrrrrrrr 🥶

Damn dude no snow shoes or gloves (initially) and it just escalates!? How are you even doing that! This is far beyond my ability, I appreciate you documenting it for us all. Love the monologues and consistently agree with you, or have had similar thoughts. You're doing great work, thank you.

Beat that one Scotty

That was tops.

You’re a machine! We’ll done pushing through that s*** storm Mattsy. Worth it 🙌

Yesssirrrr

love that jovial jolly swagman attitude of yourself good sir. helps make your videos all the more beautiful n enjoyable. well done n i tip my hat to you, look forward to the next adventure

Absolute respect Mattsy. That looked quite the slog in that snow and one heck of a rough night, but you pulled through. Your attitude when things don't look great is truly admirable. Love your narration and philosophical thoughts. You've done it again!! 👍😉 Take care All the best Dave (and Buddy) 👍

Mate! I feel you’re pain! Did kozie November last year had a 1 in 20 year weather event.

Just sitting here with my 2yo at 4am having just finished watching your latest video. Mate, love your work Mattsy, you've done it again!

Yet another great one Mattsy. I always love the life philosophy although my own would probably involve the mantra of always taking a 4 season tent with me in those conditions. I got hypothermia just realising you only had a tarp with you. But the Silly Swagman has done it again. 👍🏔☃🌨❄🏕❄ Keep them coming.

Cheers Mattsy!! Another Stella and epic adventure!! Your vids are a masterpiece and keep being the bloody groovy legend you are!! Cheers mate! -Liam 🇦🇺 🤙🏿

Looks freezing! Hopefully Alton goods bring out a tent soon. 👍

Two words --- F*cking Inspirational --

Yes, you've done it again Mattsy! I love pushing boundaries, and these conditions certainly do just that. That's where we grow hey. ;)

I wrote my last message half way through the video and before realising that you were in fact sleeping on an insulted mat😂. Maybe what’s called for is a winter rated tent for those conditions!

woah Matsy, that looked like a heavy go! i've done some camping in the Canadian winters and other than it being a bit colder (as you might expect) your conditions on this one were just as harsh as anything i've seen. take care of yourself man, it'd be no fun watching you get yourself all frost-bit and popsicled. 👍✌🖖

Hi Mattsy, another fab vid!! If your shoes are soaking and frozen a tip is pouring some hot water in them before putting your feet in! Also waterproof socks are the absolute bomb, i have sealskinz. 😊

Mate, that was brutal. I can't believe you didn't pack snow around the bottom of the tarp 😂. Can relate to the car starting too haha. Great episode man, awesome scenery.

That shot at 20:30 is epic

Hey mate , this was absolutely and truly amazing , i love watching your content and cant wait for more adventures to watch . Just wondering , where did you get that pack from?

Cracker Mattsy! The "Beauty and the Beast" episode. Stunningly beautiful scenery, beast weather mode for sure! Awesome vid cheers.

Pretty nice could video i hope i was with you 😊

Um you know what we are here in Iraq it's 47 or 49 degrees Celsius 😢 but when i have seen this video I FEEL FREEZING 😂

Enjoyed video from comfort of my warm couch …. I think this tarp camping is a bit overrated in extreme winter conditions, could see that by your frozen facial expression 😂 the cocoon of a good tent would save some of the anxiety that your trying to escape from and keep your boots 🥾 dry …….🏕️ keep the content coming

You missed your chance Scotty has never made a snowman in his tent

Great show Matsy I envy you! I see you’ve got the long arctic side pouches on your DG3 and added some waist belt pouches too. Good for carrying that extra gear. What are the pouches mate? I’ve been looking for some.

👍
