Revisiting some of your older videos. Liking it !
Always a pleasure watching your vids Tyler. It's so refreshing to see responsible 4WDing and camping with the family. SOOO tired of all the yahoos putting up vids doing stupid chest beating stuff and more often than not breaking gear and looking like gooses. Really enjoy your blend of editing, narration and music that make up your content. Your getting quite a few followers recommending your channel to other 4WD/Camping groups. That speaks volumes about the quality of your vids 👍
Thanks mate! Really appreciate the feedback and glad you're enjoying the videos :)
My thoughts exactly!
Great work Tyler. Takes some effort to do all that videoing and editing. I’ve camped at Mt Murray twice then down to the Buckland, visited Lake Cobbler, done the Staircase (uphill) twice, camped on the King - all in a bog standard 1991 petrol Ford Maverick. Love it all. Haven’t done the King River track - you’ve inspired me. Must remedy that. And Craig’s Hut is just magnificent. Thanks for sharing.
cheers!
Great video again. I love the Victorian high country...
Cheers! Sure is an amazing place
You should have driven to the summit of Mt Selwyn Track. The last couple hundred metres is a great little challenge! We were there I think the same week as you, 5th January 19' and found an NP300 stuck at the summit with a couple of blokes frantically trying to get the car out with just a shovel! My Maxtrax have most of his brand new KO3s still melted into them hahaha! Great vids mate!
Ill have to check that out next time I'm there mate, were planning on heading back to the High Country at easter but obviously off the cards now with everything going on
@@TylerThompson90 If you ever do a tag along or need a guide in VHC I'd be keen mate haha!
Mate you’ve moved up a couple of spots to our favourite TH-cam. Content,editing, locations are spot on.👍
Thanks mate, appreciate it :)
Lol, when we visited Cobbler lake, a kid was having his 21st Rave, there. Not peaceful. His party almost drowned out the roar of the frogs. Doof doof until 3am. It was fine tho, they were just partying not violent or destructive. Another camper was not so relaxed about it. Started playing country music at 7 full blast.
No comments on new vid 👎🏽
Just fixed it, not sure what happened, bloody youtube! haha
Specky country bro, lov it 👍👍👍
Im planning on doing a similar route in 3 weeks. Did you boys need extra jerry cans of fuel or found it was safe to make it to fill up at a service station on these tracks. Trying to figure out if i need some and how much. Was hoping to make it to dargo region from tom groggin by 3 days. But that doesnt seem likely
these vids are awesome, great info and clear reference points ,signs and finger on map, lol! keep them coming
Always enjoy watching your vids but this high country trip has been terrific. Thanks for showing us your map and the tracks your taking, makes it easy to follow and also plan my future trips. The drone footage has been sensational!
Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback :)
G'day Tyler. Do you do Q&A's ? :-D I'm pretty new to 4x4 and feeling inspired by your films of real world touring, free from "TO THE MAX!!!!!" macho bull dust.
Is this High Country trip doable in a bog standard 90s series Prado? No winch no snorkel? I have responsible recovery equipment, boards and straps etc. Any thoughts?
Hey mate, thank you! Glad you're enjoying the videos :). Haven't done any Q&A's but will try and do a couple soon.
It's always a tricky question mate, a lot of the tracks would be but then some definitely not. Things can change quickly if it rains too
Amazing video mate, love watching your uploads. I am heading there during Easter if restrictions permit.. can you advise what tyre pressure should I deflate to, I will be driving Pajero sport. Thanks
16-18PSI is always good mate 👌
Just found your channel, wow! Thank you. Huge inspiration and we will do much of this. Awesome family memories to be made. Cheers
Awesome! Thank you!
So whats best Vic High country or Barrington tops gloucester areas
High country mate, hard to beat
Hi Tyler I think your videos are the best on TH-cam keep it up mate.
Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)
Hey mate. If you were to buy another dual cab, what would you get and why?
Well the NP300 is the only ute I've had, I'm really happy with it, think its a great 4wd. So would get it again over any others
Awesome as usual. Thanks
Thank you!
Liked before i watched,i knew this would be epic as always and you didnt dissapoint!! Cheers for the hard work you put in to give us this awesome content!!
Edit: can you please tell me the name of the intro song? I couldn't find it off your link,cheers mate...
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching :)
The intro song is 'one eye closed the sun is low' by Andrew Applepie
Another great vid mate 👍
Its become my Sunday morning ritual,watching your latest vid with my morning coffee 😏
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching :)
New to all this stuff. Where do you buy those maps from? Looking to do Caves to Caves soon and wondering where to purchase from? Great vids by the way 👍🏻
Thanks mate. I buy most of my maps online. If you just do a google search of 4wd maps australia. Or most 4wd shops stock heaps of maps - ARB, TJM etc
Tyler Thompson thanks Tyler. I also managed to find a little map store in Parramatta. ‘Map Centre Parramatta’. I’m thinking they’re a little more expensive than ARB but helping the little guys (old lady) out. She was lovely and very helpful.
Another great video. You make them pretty interesting and bring in great touring content. I drove from Perth last year just to go to Craig's Hut and a couple of other spots and camped up there and had the place to ourselves. Thanks again and safe travels.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them :) Wow thats big a drive, they are amazing places!
Great stuff...as a local its great to see a Nissan Navara doing great work as I have a 2018 ST-X Twin Cab....and often head off road with it and love it!!! Wondering which tyres were fitted to the Navara? Great video team !
Thanks mate, they are a great 4wd! I have 265/75/R16 General Grabber tyres
Really appreciate the showing the route on the map (as you usually do). Makes it somewhat possible to find where what track and campsite is and the conditions for me (one day). I get fed up with some others that treat it all as a big secret. The ultimate is for gps reading (WGS 84) at campsites and intersections, as used by Goggle and Garmin. I log waypoints on a Garmin and it takes me straight back there or allows me to pinpoint them immediately on Goggle maps at home. Cheers mate.
Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed :). Yeah I've never really bothered logging track routes/waypoints, I just go off memory but probably should start doing it in the future
Next time you're heading to the VHC, let me know! I'll tag along! Its my backyard!
No worries mate
Brilliant as always mate. Looking forward to my visit down here in April with the GONE truck.
Thanks mate! You've have a blast
Great video again Tyler. Only noticed that ding in the rear passenger door in this video. Has that been there for a while?
Thank you! Yep thats been there since I started making these videos haha, got it a couple of years ago
Another great video Tyler, love the way you explain and show your route on mapping as well gives a great insight to your treks.
Thanks mate! Cheers for watching :)
Awesome mate, another great video 👍. I was lucky enough to have craigs hut to myself but i was there out of school holidays, still awesome though.
Looking forward to the great ocean rd videos.
Thanks mate! Craig's hut is a spectacular spot, great to get these places to yourself
Glad I started my day with that video. Got it started right!
Cheers! :)
Another ripper of a video Tyler, I am also looking forward to your Ocean Road adventures. We had a property at Apollo Bay and did heaps of 4 wheel driving in the Otway Ranges, the tracks were extremely muddy. Have fun and keep safe
Thanks mate! We did a little bit of 4wding driving in the Otway ranges but didn't find heaps of tracks
Oh no!! Please don’t start doing fast-mo driving. Makes it look cheap and I can’t see the awesome driving.
Do you mean the GoPro stuff on the bonnet? I've always done that from time to time so you can see a whole track. GoPro footage isn't anything exciting on its own
Bud bloody awsome one problem stop doing these videos lol making us jealous😀. I was wondering where boss lady was, but all honesty love your work, you are doing an awesome job some of your early ones around home (we r only about 45mins to an hr sth of you) I've saved your videos and going to try them out, because we are lucky up here how much 4wdriving and camping there is on offer. Any i won't ramble on anymore enjoy the rest of your trip you lucky bugger.
Warren 👍
Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback :). Yep we definitely live in a lucky area, plenty of great places to explore and see!
Hi Tyler,
Another great video mate. Mt. Hotham to Lake a cobbler tracks looks worth to try. Some nice travelling up there. Big waterfall called Dandongadale falls (255m high) it is the longest fall in state of Victoria. There is no access to it (tried few years a go had no luck).
Just letting you know just came back from high country with my cousin ( on his stock standard Mux) had no drama getting up to pinnacle via back way. Mux is very capable car. But didn’t took it to Billy goat bluff track.
Ok mate please keep your vid rolling in.
You doing a great job buddy.
Don.M
Hey mate, thank you! Thats awesome, sounds like you had a great time :)
Cheers!
Another rad vid...If you weren't filming your trips how much would you save...👍...
Thanks mate!
Another greta vid Tyler, Makes me want to go back their again. Cheers Steve
Cheers mate!
Another fantastic video Tyler. Great that your commentary and editing includes where you are going, I’ve been tracking your trip on my HC map. Keep up the good work
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them :)
Unreal mate . Really look forward to sunday morning with ur latest upload. Would love a copy of your map with the highlighted tracks u took. I did the high country a couple of years ago but so much i didnt get a chance to do. Keep them coming mate
Thanks mate! I don't have a copy of the map sorry, I just make it all up as I go and then I don't save/log them or anything. But I name nearly all the tracks in the videos we do so you can see pretty much exactly where we go :)
Great video guys. Thanks
Cheers!
Your videos keep getting better and better I can't wait for the great ocean road video there's plenty of tracks in the otways and anglesea mine.
Thanks mate! Glad you're enjoying them :)
Nice one mate! Awesome trip so far. Do you ever work?!
Thanks mate! Yep still work haha casual school teacher so I have school holidays off
Enjoying your content mate! love that you take your son along with you and get to enjoy all the great locations as a family.
Thanks mate!
Awesome work as always mate,
Was waiting for the new video to come up
Thanks mate!
Nice one Tyler, lucky you went when you did, lots of the areas are on fire now :(
Thanks mate, yep the fires down there are terrible at the moment, a lot of damage
Love your videos. Very helpful guides for anyone thinking of heading to the locations you film.
Thank you! :)
I look forward to your videos mate. Very informative and pleasing to the eye. As a 45 year old man who just bought his first 4WD, this is all good info. I would never do these trips alone as I have zero experience but I do have a couple of good experienced 4WD friends that make trips on a regular basis to the Vic High country. I will be going next month with them either to do Craigs hut or Billy Goats Bluff, they haven't decided yet.
Awesome mate! Glad you're enjoying them :). You'll have a great time in the High Country, such an amazing place!
@@TylerThompson90 Thanks Mate.
Awesome trip mate! Can't wait to the next video
Thanks mate!
nice one mate, I've gotta make the journey down there!
Incredible place!
Nice one guys. Tyler What tire pressure do you use on those easier ones. 😎
Thanks! I normally just leave my tyres around the 16PSI providing its dirt and I'm not going too quick but ideally you should go back up to low 20's. Too much effort for me but haha
👌
nice epic scenery ,good work
Thanks mate
👍
Good work Tyler.
Thanks mate!
TH-cam now started showing two ads in a row. Not so keen on that...
Get an Ad Blocker like everyone else, i never see any ads
Yeah I've noticed they put two ads at the start now, not something I control. Still way less ads then tv haha.
Frank, you sound like a Pom
Another ripper Tyler. The list of spots to visit just keeps growing. Love your camerawork. I hope you keep them coming. Great stuff. Cheers PP
Thanks mate! Plenty more to come :)
