Is it out there? Bushcraft camping with the kids!! (Minimal Gear)
>p>
We’re heading deep into yowie country on the Central Coast for a minimalist overnight bushcraft camp — carrying only a hootchie, a fire striker, and basic gear. With snakes nearby and limited supplies, we hike into the Australian bush, build a shelter, start a fire from scratch, and cook bush‑style campfire pizza before sunset.
If you enjoy Outdoor Boys, Scotty’s Gone Walkabout, or real Australian bushcraft and survival camping, this adventure fits right in. Our family explores the Australian outback, teaching the boys how to camp off‑grid, filter water, build fires, and stay safe in the wild.
This trip includes:
Minimal gear camping
Fire‑striker fire starting
Hootchie shelter setup
Snake encounters
Yowie stories from the Watagans
Cooking over the campfire
Hiking with kids in the Aussie bush
Join us as we take on the wild, chase stories of the yowie, and show how to camp with kids in true Aussie bushcraft style. Whether you’re into solo camping, family adventures, or learning survival skills, this trek has something for every outdoor fan.
