25 Years ago today I joined the Australian Army as a helicopter pilot. It was a freakin awesome job!🚁 I got to see Australia, East Timor (pictured) and Papua New Guinea from the air, and land in truly amazing places. I highly recommend it as a job. @australianarmy

🥶I compared a merino loft jacket from @icebreakernz against the trusty down jacket I’ve used for 20 years. #movetonatural #freegift #coldweathersurvival

🥶Cotton, synthetic or merino thermals. What’s best for outdoor adventures (hint🐏🔥)? Thanks @icebreakernz for the merino thermals I torched. I was genuinely surprised by how fire retardant they were. #movetonatural #freegift #coldweathersurvival

They may have been Alone in Tasmania, but not on the Logies Red Carpet! #Logies

So cool to walk the red carpet with @GinaChickRewild to represent #AloneAustralia in the best documentary category! Handy hint for beginners; try not to tread on anyone’s dress (guilty, sorry Gina😳) @TVWEEKmag @SBS @SBSOnDemand

@JarrettSim2 @TVWEEKmag @SBS @SBSOnDemand @WarOnWasteAus Good tip. If probably need a lot of it😂

@Outback_Mike @TVWEEKmag @SBS @SBSOnDemand @WarOnWasteAus Enforcements coming @Outback_Mike Love it Use some coyote piss for some added scent to attract those cougars;) 😂

🐟 My bling for the #logies2023 ‘Tarpsedo’ is sorted, despite the 🐈 No. It doesn’t stink (much). @TVWEEKmag #mansewing #hybpa #AloneAustralia @SBS @SBSOnDemand @WarOnWasteAus #fashionweek #logies

👧🧒Lots of kids are enjoying the book! 10 year old Harper read the whole thing by herself (awesome job!!!!). Younger kids, are having it read to them by their parents. There are a few swear words but believe me they were all warranted!😂 #moderndaycastawaybook

@theprojecttv Thanks for having me on😊🪓

There has been a huge surge in demand for survivalist classes, but it's not preppers wanting to know how to survive off the land, but those looking to escape rising supermarket prices. Survivalist @outback_mike explains.
