- This 400m river crossing was EPIC! Welcome back legends, in this episode we're leaving the East Coast of Cape York and crossing through to the West into the Gulf of Carpentaria. This is a dry, arid and remote trip through some beautifully WILD country and then... we get to this River Crossing that stops us in our tracks. We're bogged for hours.. Well 2 hours maybe, we didnt actually time it but it threw out our plans for the afternoon, haha. I hope you all enjoy the adventure and are looking forward to exploring the Gulf with us in coming episodes!

Great Ep Nath / Dane, looking forward to this adventure. Apart from the trailer brake, tire pressures everything in that sand. You could go down to 8 psi to get that foot print. I'm yelling at the TV, let some air out 🤣
Haha i know that feeling. This kinda caught me by surprise to be honest cause it didn’t look that bad and then I didn’t really stop and think about it I just reacted. 🤷🏼♂️ you’re right tho, tire pressures make all the difference!
@@WildReaches Ah, we live and learn 🤙
Absolutely the best channel on You Tube at the moment. Keep it up guys!

Dane needs a cape and a medal!!!
hahahaha
Love ur videos mate 💯🍻 my nephew sit with me and ask all kinds off questions about what you are doing. Keep doin what you do best 🍻🍻
Yewww thanks Jayden, great to hear that mate
Tyre pressure Boys 🤣
It’s key
Dane's fishing may have been average but Dane wins the bogged pissing completion......lol....great video ♥
😂
Fantastic episode lads really enjoyed the whole 4WD experience! I'd love to see a season done with the 3 of you with Dan.....
Thanks mate, yeah one day maybe
great episode again mate👍👍
Thanks Terry
Way to go Dane… love the enthusiasm! 👍🏻
That would of been a hard pick up the trailer brakes being stuck on. Well it made for some good content, and a victory to the Troopy !! 🤣
Oh no, another troopy lover!
Flippin heck!...what a mission
haha sure was. posted your prize out to you today mate, yeeww
@@WildReaches YEEEW!!!....awesome... thanks so much mate....stoked
Isn’t that drone awesome with out it that crossing could have gone pear shaped
Another great video love ya guys.
Yeah the drone is useful for a lot more than just content 👌🏼
I had to pause it there for a moment just to say Enough about the 79 there cuzz it just might pull the mighty troopy out of the wallow as you put it one day 😂😂
haha I thought the same thing
I mean crushed that river crossing! Epic work! Loved Danes commentary! Lol 😂 team troopy vs the big piggy 🐷 hahahaha - learned a lot from watching! Can’t wait for next episode. Cheers guys
I hope you learnt to disconnect your trailer brakes. You'll learn alot from all the key board heros if you read the comments here hahahaha. Live and learn mate
Just come across your channel and subscribed straight away cheers guys 👍🍻🇦🇺
Yewww, thanks Amos
Epic adventure guy's, 😎 keep away from that croc can't wait to see the next one, cheers stay safe, rick from Perth.
Thanks Rick. We will mate
Haha, how stoked was Dane with the troops!! Love it! Good to see him fire up! Bloody covid man! But all ended up well mate! That spot you ended up at looked amazing mate! Everything happens for a reason I guess supposedly mate.
Thanks again for bringing us along Nath! Totally awesome legend man! Loooovvve it all! Yyeeww!!
Yeah that spot was a little paradise, could’ve spent. Month just there! Can’t wait to get back to this country
Great entertainment as usual boys. I have an old 1987 Troopy. They are a remarkable bit of gear. Have been in situations solo which I probably shouldn't have been, to the extent that a couple of times I was in a bit of trouble. The old girl just her head down and got me through. Not the most comfortable 4x4 but nice to know she's not going to let me down. I love the honest old girl.
They are a great 4wd. I love that after a while and after a few experiences together like the sketchy ones you’re talking about you tend to build a relationship with your 4wd and really trust it. Glad you liked the episode Greg
Jesus someone loves his troopy 🤣🤣
Yeah he was pretty proud of the old girl
Go the Troopey lol
👍🏼
You know guys, if you both had patrols you wouldn't have got stuck in the first place crossing the river. 👍😂
🤔
great episode. I've been waiting for this ! . can tell you've got alot of weight in the rear canopy and over the front of that trailer your towing .. lots of thoughts here . could of would of should of.. this is awesome tho !! great work!
this is exactly what I wanna try to do with my tinny try n get into a spot like this .. Prehaps just slightly deeper tho haha
Yeah thats the idea mate, the spots you can drag your tinny into... so cool. I agree mate, Im constantly experimenting and learning from my set up. Where to put weight and what is essential and not. Cutting back on weight is key every trip.
Nicely bogged Nath. Locked trailer brakes don't help either.
What a beautiful place. We truly have the best country in the world. Let's hope that they stop sealing the roads and leave these out of the way areas as an adventure. Don't want every bozo in a Hyundai turning up and ruin the experience.
Great video again, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Craig. I agree mate, this all adds to the adventurous experience. Needs to be left as is
That looked pretty soft. But 18 was still way too high. I've gone down to 10 to get out of soft white sand in WA. Not saying that 10 would have got you out, but just saying. Another awesome vid.
Yeah I agree mate
👍🎣🐊 over on the West Coast
Nearly at the coast Nevan!
Hell yeah watching now.
1st
Give it up for Lama Lama people
Such a good mob!
@@WildReaches getting there is the adventure more than the destination sometimes
Finally spent enough time working my local corner to join your Patreon! Super stoked to help support your lifestyle! Keep it up lads! Maybe have the tyre pressure lowered before you cross a river with crocs haha! Too funny
Thankyou 🙏🏼 Looking forward to seeing you on the live call!
I only just saw the rest of this message for some reason… glad you’re feeling the adventure thru the show. Haha yeah I definitely should have had the tyres lower sooner!
I like your style. Its much easily to watch and enjoy than channels like “All 4 Adventure” and “The Explore Life”.
Thanks Paul, Glad you're enjoying it mate
Boy this was an epic journey guys we loved it! A lot of gloating from Dane :) . Well Nat we where ready for this all mudded up like two chocolate Santa's ready for the flies. As we don't have a tinny in here we have to use a blow up inflatable (that's another story) but it serves the purpose. We also had a couple of breakages on our reclining chairs doing all the wriggling go through that bloody water with you guys.....but still living the dream, just opened two tins of crab meat. 😁👍 Take care until next time. Roy & Cheryl UK. PS Can't wait to see a croc, Cheryl has bought some more gaffer tape!
😂😂😂 2 chocolate Santa’s! Love it. I hope your recliners can be repaired and your inflatable “friend” didn’t get any punctures 😉. See you guys next week. The crocs are coming 😎
@@WildReaches 👍
At least you show the truth about how travelling australia can be like not always fun aye i go on foot camping out my last run wasnt fun either i got nailed by a peralesis tick i was slow and lithargic for 3 weeks
Crossing checklist: 1. Trailer Brakes off. 2 Trailer Brakes off. 3 Repeat 😜😎
hahaha thats my list from now on
Excellent episode. Shows what you guys have to go through to make these vids. Appreciate your efforts and so glad I found your channel! Be safe!
You’re so welcome Jeff! Glad you’re enjoying it all mate.
we crossed the Mitchell in an old 46 series hilux petrol when it was about 4 feet deep and water from bank to bank, talk about shitting bricks.
Dane 🔥🔥🔥
Haha he was pretty proud huh!
Gud day Nath great content as usual envy u guys yes this crap covid can get done now well keep it comin look after urselves
Thanks Mario! Stoked you liked it mate
Haha Few Rus moments there Dane.
😂
We wanna make it up north my boy said they get sand flys dad . I said yer and they itch for 10 days mate . They suck but keeps the crew away feom the good spots 👍🏾😅
Haha your spot on mate, it’s worth the itch
That reminds me of the 4 hrs is spent bogged in the Stuart River in a 76 with a camper trailer in tow 😂😂
Character building stuff A 🤔
haha yeah it is Mark. As long as you learn from it
Great episode, and yes, editing is really good...telling a good story. Awesome!
yeww thankyou. Thats right mate, some might think its boring if they just click on this Episode but its part of an overall story and we're showing the whole thing not the highlight reel. Thanks legend
You beautiful another banger few see boys. Is that the Mitchell river you got bogged in.
Yeah mate sure was
Wild Reaches geez they do a good job at cleaning it up now days for people to come across. I came across in 2004 and the whole thing was sand and deep so deep I had the 35s down on 5psi.
Oh share the max trax.
Nice Vid , you need some 75 x 50 x 3mm gal mesh cut the same size as the MT then you can put 2 or 3 bits in front of each tire I carry 10 to 12 bits cost me $70 to make
That’s an idea, must weigh a bit tho
@@WildReaches Yes around 17kg for 12 bits, if you loose a Mt there $150 only $6 for bit of gal mesh, and it will just rust away over time not like MT they are plastic,
Hey lenny&carl… if ya had king stingray play’n you’s would’ve kill’d it✊🤙
I’ll Google it 🤷🏼♂️, simpsons?
Yea mate off the Simpsons…. Just some harmless banter I’d had a couple of bev’s Watching your last episode…. I also live on the sunny coast and love your work keep it up mate🤙… don’t know if you listen to triple J but they’ve been pump’n king stingray… A Northern Territory indigenous artist
How does the canvas canopy go with the dust mate keep it out on the 79
It keeps the majority of it out. Surprisingly good. I am currently upgrading to an ally tray and canopy tho.
@@WildReaches I’ve got canvas one on Hilux why I’m asking hopefully get a Alliminum one in future just not cheap
Awesome guy. How shit is Covid 🙄
Love the channel guys but what’s up with your armrests on the wrong doors?
Haha Dane bought a set and lent me the passenger one. They’re so good that I have a set now 👌🏼
It sucks ay 🔥
What sucks??!!
2nd comment and first like I think love the episode
Onya Hamish!
Not working as a team guyS🤔
Yeah it worked when we helped each other didn’t it
Sorry, I could only fast forward thru 25 minutes of boring stuck trucks then bailed.
Nath, did you guys wasted your time on the river crossing our did you needed a show gap filler .?
Work smart not hard mate… anyhow, nice show how not to do it…
And yep an electric brake I reckon are better turned of in slow go… 3axle =6 MT is the math….
Story to write home?? Next time…
Keep the sunny side up Cheers guysj
