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.

Mad sewing skills, Archer!🏹

10 year old Archer handcrafted his #bookweek2023 costume all by himself (fish, top and satchel!)

🧢 I now have merch available on my website (link in bio, click on ‘SHOP’ in the menu).

My wife helped me choose the designs so you get her style and my practicality😂

Great for Fathers Day on 3rd September.

Thanks!!!

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

🥶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.

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

[Michael Atkinson @Outback_Mike]

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😳)

👧🧒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!😂

@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.

🧵My hand-sewn tarp suit made from #AloneAustralia 10 items is finished! I just need to spice it up with some bush bling. Happy to take suggestions.

Only a week until the #logies2023

Here we go… The first stage of my #logies2023 tuxedo made entirely from my #aloneaustralia 10 items.

👑 I’m only half done, with finishing touches, pants and ‘bling’ left to go.

My wife is still talking to me as well… we just don’t mention the ‘suit’🤣

🎧Recording the audiobook has taken a month. The technical standards for major platforms is high so I was super happy when it passed!
It’s available on major platforms like Spotify, Apple and Google Play. Full list here;
