Fitzy & Wippa chatted with the one and only Matthew McConaughey, chin-waggin’ all things Wild Turkey, camping and questionable bush mushrooms.
And if you were wondering how the concept of ‘questionable bush mushrooms’ came up, we promise, there was a reason (but also, are we really that surprised with this lot?).
Okay, okay. All jokes aside, the topic of camping came up for good reason. For this year’s With Thanks initiative, Wild Turkey – with its Creative Director Matthew McConaughey – crafted a one-of-a-kind tent and matching cooler bag to get Aussies out under the stars and into the wild, while giving thanks to those who work tirelessly to protect it.
In partnership with Australian start-up Homecamp, McConaughey crafted 150-limited edition two-man canvas tents available exclusively to Australia.
With the nation being switched on and plugged in for the last 18 months, McConaughey’s vision was not just simply to design a tent, but to craft a camping experience to inspire Aussies to escape to the wilderness while doing their part to protect it. The Wild Turkey x Homecamp Trust Your Spirit tents come built-in with Matthew McConaughey’s very own narrated campfire stories, that can be unlocked via a QR code on the tent’s exterior.
Camping under the stars with stories told by Matthew McConaughey himself? Sold.

Available for pre-order on 1 December 2021, a proportion of proceeds from each Wild Turkey x Homecamp Trust Your Spirit tent will go towards the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife, to support the continuous bushfire regeneration efforts. The 150th tent will be auctioned off, with the final bid going to Wild Turkey’s ongoing charity partner as part of its commitment to thank those who preserve the wilderness.
