Aussie bush survivalist vids

This dude has been filming himself out in the Aussie bush, showing how to find wild foods and basic survival skills. His knowledge is based on decades of bush tucker study and living off the land, often with local aboriginal tribes. The new youtube channel has a good bunch of vids, but the wallaby one is not for the squeamish!

Les Hiddens is the Aussie god of suirviving, his Bush Tucker man series is fabulous and Major Hiddins idea of printing pictures and descriptions of edible plants on the back of maps was brilliant.

Yep Les Hiddens is one of the great outback survivalists.

This thread actually reminded me of another outback "expert"

I recently tracked this guy down and asked if I could do a one day crash course with him on bush tucker. I took the drive down from the Gold Coast OZ to the border ranges national park and hit the forest with this guy.

MAN IT WAS AWESOME : BEST PREP EVER

I ate all the stuff and then he quizzed me on the way back to his camp , I was surprised as to how much stuff we could eat that literally grew ever where .... it was an awesome experience.

damn..really makes me want to move to the bush in OZ
