My 9 year old son has spent the last 12 months recieving intense chemo for Leukemia, your videos always put a smile on his face and kept his outdoor spirit alive. Thankyou
Kudos mate, Kudos. You basically chose being a good bloke and friend over money and fame. Your videos definitely left a mark on thousands of people all over the world, including myself.
Even though your TH-cam channel has finished 4 months ago... I still find myself watching episodes again and again. It was really brilliant watching your show and just your passion being shared with others. Thanks to you I finally got a 4x4 and now setup a rig for touring Australia. Thank you for all your passion and efforts providing excellent content.
Hello Michael,I firstly want to thank you for the many hours of enjoyment that you have given me with all your travels.As a young 63 year old i have relived some of my own adventures of the past through you and has put a little bit of fire again in me so much so that i have gone and bought another 4x4 for future travels.There are a lot of TH-cam channels out there but what made yours very special is the sincerity and humor that you have put into it.Your knowledge and advice is second to non and your filming is excellent.I wish i had the patiences that you have, as i know how much work there is in making good content.And i know exactly how you feel about mixing work with passion.So don't feel guilty for retairing and living as in a lurch!!!!!LOL,I wish you all the very best in the future whatever you choose to do and hope to see you around the tracks.
Man, I've loved every bit of your videos. Honest, thorough, unbiased and always full of smiles. Do whatever makes you happy, we will always be waiting for another upload. 👌⛏💰
@@wayne6220 5th'd or 6th'd depending on how you count. Great, informative, compelling and enjoyable content. Am in the process of launching my own channel and I learned some things from your channel that will help me with mine - so am doubly grateful.
Thanks for the genuine and honest content - your relatable videos inspired me to finally take the plunge and create my own channel, something I’m sure you’ve done for many others as well. Best of luck for the future and hoping to one day see more videos from you on a casual basis, perhaps. :)
SAD, finally found someone who natural, honest, humble, loved his country, was one with the outdoors and was able to teach the want to be’s all about the best way to venture and discover this great land. Will deeply miss your in-depth footage, quirky presentations, your friends as the film crew but mostly your genuine love for what you do. Thanks for the adventures and I pray that you get to relax as you “SEEK ADVENTURE”
So Michael, there i was thinking that you were just warming up for things to come. I know what you mean about hobby versus work. I did it with photography when i was young. So what has Seek Adventure meant to me? As an older disabled person i couldn't begin to do the things you've been doing on the channel so it's been a great journey for me. And don't forget you've been a great ambassador for Australia too. What a beautiful, fantastic country. Life is about adapting, improvising, overcoming. So get out there and get on with it, mate. And the best of luck whatever you decide to do. Thanks for sharing all of it. Stay safe. 👍🖖😎🛥⚓🦘🐪🐊🐠🐬
It’s like losing a member of my family. We lived vicariously though your videos and made trips we would not have otherwise taken. Will miss you mate. Hope to see you sometime in the future if you decide to post again. ♥️
You've informed, entertained, inspired, motivated, ... us with this wonderful channel. The great thing is that new people will come across these videos and you will live on and on virtually still doing for them what you did so well for us. Your channel is a gift that will just keep on giving to an ever-expanding audience. And when I need a refresher and want to see what you did, how you did it, why you did it, ... I'll be coming back again and again to this jewel of a resource even if you never upload another video. Thanks for sharing your gifts.
Congratulations! You chose to seek adventure, real-life personal relationships and genuine experiences without the sense of obligation to enthrall, educate and entertain an audience. Thank you for the time, effort and passion you put into this channel. You should be proud of what you created. I just discovered this channel a few days ago and it is a lot of fun to watch. But sometimes quitting *is* the right thing to do. I admire your ability to step away after you realized that being a YT content creator no longer brings you joy. May your best adventures always be ahead of you!
I'm gonna swing the other way on this. While I can certainly understand your reason for leaving, part of me wonders why you wouldnt just cut back and put out less videos and on a scheduled basis. Instead of every outdoor activity being filmed, make it 1/4 and still put out killer content. If it is the end, I appreciate all the videos, were nice to see. Don't leave your 70k subs down brother, take a breather, stop recording as much and put out scheduled videos. Have fun my friend and I appreciate it it all!
I agree with this sentiment. I can understand that it would become quite stressful to put out a vid each week (especially if you only have the weekend to do it) and that it would become a chore rather than somthing you enjoy doing but the frequency of vids is not why I subbed to this channel, I subbed because I enjoy your style and attitude. I don't care if the vids are once a month or less. Thank you for all the entertainment and inspiration.
He is not the first to suffer under a self imposed schedule and get burnt out. I hope he decides to film every 4th or 5th trip and take some pressure off himself.
I disagree. This is his choice and to lose one's passion is a horrible thing and its hard to get it back. He had 72k subs and that's great but there have been people that left youtube with over 2mill subs and to me, that's a much bigger deal than leaving with 72k. He made amazing adventure tutorials and video maybe just leaves it at that and let him be himself. Doing youtube has its benefits and its downfalls and one the biggest downfall is trying to make as much content as possible to get paid and if you look at the top TH-camrs it's like they have no life outside of youtube cause they constantly need to upload a video every day or 4 times a week..etc So job-wise people might work 5 days a week but as a TH-camr that is trying to put as much content up as possible to get paid, they work 6 days a week. And think of all the video editing that goes into all Michael's videos he has to do after every video shoot to upload..
I discovered your channel in December 2019 and it quickly became my favourite on TH-cam. Thank you for inspiring me and many others to get out and seek adventure! Your positive attitude and stunning shots are the reason I've spent the past 2 weeks on the road seeing and trying new things. I hope you rediscover your passion at some point and I know all your followers would really love to hear from you again in the future. All the very best from myself buddy and thank you 👍
I just came here to choose traction boards and now Im left will all the feels. I understand every word you said about just trying to enjoy the moment instead of losing yourself into "what's next". I subscribed just to come back and learn more, enjoy the views and happy people all around. I'll finish with a great sentence I've heard once, "May everyday feel like the first time". Take care mate.
Sad to see the channel go, but Loved everything you made and I completely understand why your doing it. Thanks for the entertainment over all your videos and go reclaim your passion mate!
Came upon the channel randomly, and love what you do. In an era of everything being hyped up and fake, your channel is real, with no bs, and most importantly of all informative and fun. Go forth and enjoy life! We will miss you.
I only just found your channel this evening...and now I learn you are moving on. I totally understand your reasons - but I feel so sad at the same time! What an amazing, positive and wonderfully balanced human you are - hope you are enjoying your adventures :) You also just inspired me to get myself a stand up paddle board ... so even though you aren't publishing vids anymore you are inspiring adventures.
For a beginner only just watching your videos, I say keep the passion alive and video for fun and not for a business!! Am looking forward to more videos... hopefully
Thanks for all, you really inspired and helped us to make a 3 months travel around the world this year 2019, and of course in Australia, from Cairns to Melbourne. Thanks mate. Cheers from Mexico and Lithuania.
Thanks for the incredible videos, TH-cam is loosing one of its finest... Even this video you made your point so well, im not even mad. Enjoy life and keep seeking adventure..🙂
Although it's sad to see you go, you made perfect sense and I admire your decision. All the video creating pressure has now gone. Time to enjoy yourself and even throw up the occasional video down the track, if you feel like it and choose to do so. Thanks for all your hard work and classy video creations. You seem like one very nice guy.
Well, I just turned on the puter, saw the "Seek adventure" notification, checked all the other stuff out first and then settled down to watch my favourite, SA. very disappointing indeed. When I watch your videos, I always analyze, and try to work out how you did this shot and that shot and yes, I can see that there is a huge amount of work involved. Driving past your camera then going back to get it, the drone shots and then the endless hours of editing. You really have done an amazing job with your channel mate, and I so appreciate how much work is involved. I'm gonna miss it. But, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do", on that note, I can only wish you the very best in whatever you decide to do. Cheers from Queensland
Enjoyed your vids and the content, learnt a lot on vehicle recovery whilst taking in the WA scenery, and I can totally understand your decision, have a good life.
It is refreshing to see honesty in the world of 4x4 filmography. Your videos were inspiring for so many people and I dread having to go back to commercial 4wd commentators. You definitely have the gift for transporting your viewers to try and emulate the adventures that you have tackled. Well done and I hope we see you again.
Good for you, I've loved and appreciated your honesty and glad you're staying true to yourself! Enjoy what ever you do and thank you for this last year, I wish you all the very best
That's really disappointing. This is my favorite channel by far. I wish you well on your adventures . Thank you for all the hard work and awesome content ! It will be greatly missed .
Hey thanks for all those awesome video adventures and tips and tricks, do's and don'ts It taught me alot, and did get me out to my local State Park to secure my 2020 4 wheel drive permit! I have beep passing away the cold and wet days having fun watching what goes on in Australia in the 4 wheel world, and its been awesome to watch and learn. I totally get what you mean about getting lost in the moment trying to capture the shot, rather than just enjoying it. So cheers Mate, for all that you missed in life making these vids, and congrats for the balls and wisdom in getting the hell out of it and doing what you are really passionate about. What a relief that must be...
I started watching you back in June of 2019 as i was looking for solar panels to charge up a power block. I watched a couple of your videos and I was hooked. I binge watched all of your videos and showed them to my grand kids. I told them to enjoy life and "Seek Adventure" and travel and experience everything they can in life. I wish I could have traveled and camped and saw the sights as you have. THANK YOU for the videos and the time it took to make them, they are much appreciated. Hope to see you again from time to time.
Brendon Munn it’s really amazing how a young man as he is can inspire a middle aged guy like me. I used to be in the USMC for 6.5 years, been all over the world and am a combat vet. I have definitely had my own adventures. Watching Michael doing his thing with his friends and family and on his own added to my motivation to break away from my daily grind and enjoy the simple things in life and have fun with my kids and grand kids. His videos are helpful and informative for anyone who wants to seek adventure and brings new ideas.
Thank you Michael, I’m pleased you’re looking after yourself. Thank you for the awesome footage, I’ve enjoyed the level of professional footage you produce.
Huge respect, sir. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your country with someone who will probably never see it except through the kindness of people like you. You live in a nice place and so do I. Canada has a lot of exploring left for me. You helped push me back outside. Thank you for all your hard work. Go enjoy yourself now. I have been retired 12 years now and no one ever wishes they worked more. In the words of my favorite Vulcan, "Live long and prosper."
Just startered watching your vids thought finally found someone who loves what he does and not all about plugging companies was so refreshing now your finishing up lol
Enjoyed what you shared, Michael. Thanks a bunch. My personal hope is to someday see you as part of a fun group doing what you have been doing, so all the work doesn't fall on so few shoulders. Happy new Year and all the best, Michael, to you and yours as you... SEEK ADVENTURE!!!
hey man i just wanted to say thanks a lot youve really helped me out getting started in offroading and camping. some of the best advice ive come across. also have always loved your attitude. enjoy!
I’ve recently discovered this channel, and have fallen in love with it. Thank you for everything you all have done. I’ve learned a lot about what I want to do, with the help of your content. As a photographer, I understand that you need to capture things for yourself, and just enjoy the moment without all the distractions/worries. Hello, and see you soon, from the U.S. 🤘🏼
I've spent about 5 hours today watching random videos of yours. Watching this last video, I can't help but feel super happy for you, not just because you did such a great job making these video's. But it's so nice that you were able to focus on what really matters in this world. You summed it up brilliantly. I really wish you all the very best in the future. I also really hope that you rediscovered your passion for the outdoors and FWDing again. All the best mate!!!
Thanks for the wonderfull scenaries and wry humour. Though your hard work, I have had adventures vicariously through you. Thank you so much for enriching my life. Live your passion and enjoy!
Hey from California! I've been learning greatly from your videos-thank you! I certainly hope you spend this sabbatical to regain your passions and come back stronger! Be well and chances are I'll re-re-rewatch your videos for refreshers. Thank you!
Thanks so much for all of the amazing videos , tips and for taking all of us along with you for the ride. Ive only just recently discovered your channel and its fabulous. Your very kind and humble. Enjoy your own adventures, rejuvenate your soul and reignite your passion . All the best , and Thankyou :)
Thanks for the adventures! You gave me a lot of inspiration, and ideas of what to do when I tour Australia.. Now get out and enjoy your passions again. It's been a fun ride!
I came across your channel at the start of the year when I was looking for touring kitchen set ups for the camp trailer I built and I’ve been watching ever since. You’ve always been informative and entertaining which is hard to do at the same time. I’m going to miss having new content but I’m glad your going off to Seek Adventure 👍🏻
Thank you for all of the great videos! I have learned a lot from your channel and will revisit often. Wishing you all the best in your future as you continue to seek adventure!
You've made all of us to love that beautiful Australia! I'm gonna miss those incredible landscapes! Have a great year! Greetings from the other side of the planet. May be, next time you can seek adventire through Argentina.
Thank you for the time and effort you have put into Seek Adventure. I have always wanted to travel around Australia and your videos have helped me prepare for my trip. My trip is starting this April with my family. Hope to meet you on the road. All the best for the future. Thank you
Wishing you all the best for your future adventures in 2020. After a week at work to be able to get out into the great outdoors and relax is the best way to shake off those work stresses so thank you for sharing your getaways with us, it’s much appreciated.
I have been binging your videos for the last few months, definately one of my favorite channels. Watched this video now and realised that its more than a year old. Damn! I just want tp thank you for the videos, my family and I are immigrating to WA in Jan, your videos gave me comfort as we have a passion for the outdoors, to be honest you got me extremely excited about the move. As there are external issues pushing us out of our home country, not that we want to go, but now we are ready to go. A big thank you!
I've not long got onto your channel. Enjoy the good honest down to earth way you produce your videos. Love it. Good luck with your change in direction. Hope to see more vid's in the future.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INSPIRATION AND YOUR ENERtGY! Like everyone else I selfishly hope that you just reduce content and don't disappear altogether, but whatever you do.. STAY AWESOME! I would love to see you as our state tourism ambassador!
Thank YOU!!!! I Absolutely love you amd your videos. Thank you for all the time and energy you've put into this channel. Now, we shall go out and SEEK ADVENTURE... more 🤗🤗🤗🤗 love and respect from a fellow adventurer in Northern NSW 🌻🌻
Well done mate . Being a fellow west Aussie it is great to see our beautiful state through your eyes and your passion for our amazing outdoors that we have here . Good luck in your future endeavours
You shared with us some beautiful places and gave out great information. Your videos inspired me and I hope to get back to Australia and do some more exploring before I get to old. Thank you and the best of luck to you!
YES! You know, what truly matters! Happy new year and keep enjoying life the way you're passionate about, and always be true to yourself! Thanks for all what you've shared with us, even if this might be the last adventure. But since videoing is another passion of yours, I'm pretty sure, we'll get to see some little video once in a while. 💕
Michael, I only stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and I've been hammering watching all of your videos in order since then. I seen this video pop up in my feed over that time and to be honest, I've been dreading it, as I knew that your videos were obviously coming to an end. You've been an inspiration to watch and can get anyone even thinking about camping or 4 wheel driving into a die hard fan and desperate to get out there. Even my 6 year old daughter regularly wants to watch your videos and now has a passion for camping, all thanks to you. Thank you for all your great videos and I hope in the time since making these and in the pandemic you've managed to still continue doing what you love. Hopefully, from time to time you might come back and give us some updates. Thank you also for the great tips and tricks along the way.
I started watching your videos this past month (June 2020) while searching for Roadtrips/overland content in Australia. Once I ran into your videos, I could not stop watching and I found them awesome, funny (e.g. the intro of this one! ! !, the best) and simple. Bummer I might not see anymore new videos in the future, but I think I am still have a lot to catch up on old videos anyways, I just started following you. I am happy for you, and wish you the best. Thanks for producing cool and entertaining videos, I will be hard to find more unintentionally funny and happy adventure/overland videos on TH-cam....
Thanks Michael. We’ve loved watching your videos, always excited when a knew one was uploaded. They have been inspiring and entertaining. We will miss them a lot, but totally understand why you are stopping them. Safe travels buddy 👍
Thank you for all your time and dedication. Really enjoyed watching your channel. Our adventures where made great by all the tips you shared. Go have fun as you inspired so many to do the same.
Just found your channel randomly through suggested vids (the tow hitch bag was the one lol) and I'm a fan of your video and analysis style. Totally understand your reasoning for changing the focus of your life back to the way it was. Thanks for sharing your love of life with us.
I've only recently discovered your channel but I've loved every bit of it! My partner and I are now always talking about our future "adventuring" so thank you for inspiring us even more! Stay true to yourself and all the best.
Thank you Michael. I have followed you since the early days and you've been a big inspiration for me to plan and get ready for an up and coming big adventure of mine that I've always wanted to do. After a traumatic workplace accident in early 2017 I've spent a lot of time watching TH-cam, with your channel always being there and watched as soon as possible. I wish you luck and joy in whatever you do. You set out to inspire people to push their limits, so take comfort in knowing you've succeeded. Thank you, and those around you. Good work mate. Seek Adventure !
Brilliant footage ... A great finish ... Special to see a man of integrity and wisdom! Enjoy your continued adventures! Thanks for your contribution in helping us to enjoy the great outdoors.
Only recently discovered your videos as someone who is just starting to drive on the beach hour videos are fantastic all the best and hope you enjoy your own adventure
Glad I stumbled on your channel a couple of days ago. I’m just getting back into camping and my daughter joined my on my last quick trip. We had a blast. I can’t wait for her to be back this weekend so I can show her some of your vids. Take care and enjoy your adventure!
I think i speak for a lot of people, Seek Adventure please come back, We miss you mate.
3rd that! Gosh I miss you. Come back, just one video here and there, please!!!
Yeeow his back

Thanks for not silently disappearing, and remember: While your passion was going away, you were inspiring it in others. Thank you very much.
So true. Was an awesome time:)
I agree, you definitely gave me wisdom.
I wish you well in your new adventure.
Thank you
Dam, never been broken up with on TH-cam before
Michael silberstein that’s funny
Kinda sucks doesnt it!
So true. At least he’s walking away on his own terms and never became a sell out and did it all for the right reasons.
And gained 13k more subs in the last 3 days.
It hurts so real!
I still come back here to check if any new uploads every now and then. Thumbs up if you are the same 👍.
Exactly what I just did
+1
What happened to this guy?🤔
Kinda miss his videos
Hahaha me too
Seek Adventure making a come back Jan 1, 2021?
God knows 2020 has been a year to forget......
What happened to this guy?
He's doing what he knows best. Enjoying the Bush!
Hes back!!!! Put a post up saying new adventure vid on the way. Break out the cans boys, hes back lol.

Too true, I love Seek Adventure's content!
Yeh
We miss you buddy. Back here 3 months later and the feels are still strong. :( Hope you’re ok.
6 months and wishing for a note
Still waiting...... Sad....
Still waiting!!!!
Still waiting
Does anyone know what he went on to do for a job??
Ahhh! I just found your channel too. ☹️ You win the day for being the most smiley guy on TH-cam. I wish you fun and adventure.
Thank you for everything, you really inspired me to start seeking adventure, we are all going to miss you and your content 👍🏻
Cooper 250 i agree
Trent Harding he really is a legend
I completly agree, thanks for all your time you put into this.
Out of all the major channels I follow, this small channel was actually the most enjoyable to watch!! Spewing it's over but best of luck mate!👍
Have to agree 100%
In fact, all the small channels are so much better than the big channels

Sad to see the channel go, but Loved everything you made and I completely understand why your doing it. Thanks for the entertainment over all your videos and go reclaim your passion mate!
Came upon the channel randomly, and love what you do. In an era of everything being hyped up and fake, your channel is real, with no bs, and most importantly of all informative and fun. Go forth and enjoy life! We will miss you.
I only just found your channel this evening...and now I learn you are moving on. I totally understand your reasons - but I feel so sad at the same time! What an amazing, positive and wonderfully balanced human you are - hope you are enjoying your adventures :) You also just inspired me to get myself a stand up paddle board ... so even though you aren't publishing vids anymore you are inspiring adventures.
For a beginner only just watching your videos, I say keep the passion alive and video for fun and not for a business!! Am looking forward to more videos... hopefully
Thanks for all, you really inspired and helped us to make a 3 months travel around the world this year 2019, and of course in Australia, from Cairns to Melbourne. Thanks mate. Cheers from Mexico and Lithuania.
Thanks for the incredible videos, TH-cam is loosing one of its finest... Even this video you made your point so well, im not even mad. Enjoy life and keep seeking adventure..🙂
Thanks for all the great videos this year or so. I really appreciated your honesty and sense of humor. Good luck on your next adventure!
Although it's sad to see you go, you made perfect sense and I admire your decision. All the video creating pressure has now gone. Time to enjoy yourself and even throw up the occasional video down the track, if you feel like it and choose to do so. Thanks for all your hard work and classy video creations. You seem like one very nice guy.
Well, I just turned on the puter, saw the "Seek adventure" notification, checked all the other stuff out first and then settled down to watch my favourite, SA.
very disappointing indeed.
When I watch your videos, I always analyze, and try to work out how you did this shot and that shot and yes, I can see that there is a huge amount of work involved. Driving past your camera then going back to get it, the drone shots and then the endless hours of editing. You really have done an amazing job with your channel mate, and I so appreciate how much work is involved.
I'm gonna miss it.
But, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do", on that note, I can only wish you the very best in whatever you decide to do.
Cheers from Queensland
Enjoyed your vids and the content, learnt a lot on vehicle recovery
whilst taking in the WA scenery, and I can totally understand your decision,
have a good life.
It is refreshing to see honesty in the world of 4x4 filmography. Your videos were inspiring for so many people and I dread having to go back to commercial 4wd commentators. You definitely have the gift for transporting your viewers to try and emulate the adventures that you have tackled. Well done and I hope we see you again.
1 year since this sad day, glad this showed up in my recommended.
Good for you, I've loved and appreciated your honesty and glad you're staying true to yourself! Enjoy what ever you do and thank you for this last year, I wish you all the very best
That's really disappointing.
This is my favorite channel by far.
I wish you well on your adventures .
Thank you for all the hard work and awesome content !
It will be greatly missed .
Hey thanks for all those awesome video adventures and tips and tricks, do's and don'ts It taught me alot, and did get me out to my local State Park to secure my 2020 4 wheel drive permit! I have beep passing away the cold and wet days having fun watching what goes on in Australia in the 4 wheel world, and its been awesome to watch and learn.
I totally get what you mean about getting lost in the moment trying to capture the shot, rather than just enjoying it. So cheers Mate, for all that you missed in life making these vids, and congrats for the balls and wisdom in getting the hell out of it and doing what you are really passionate about. What a relief that must be...
I started watching you back in June of 2019 as i was looking for solar panels to charge up a power block. I watched a couple of your videos and I was hooked. I binge watched all of your videos and showed them to my grand kids. I told them to enjoy life and "Seek Adventure" and travel and experience everything they can in life. I wish I could have traveled and camped and saw the sights as you have. THANK YOU for the videos and the time it took to make them, they are much appreciated. Hope to see you again from time to time.
Jay0321 that’s how I found his videos.
Brendon Munn it’s really amazing how a young man as he is can inspire a middle aged guy like me. I used to be in the USMC for 6.5 years, been all over the world and am a combat vet. I have definitely had my own adventures. Watching Michael doing his thing with his friends and family and on his own added to my motivation to break away from my daily grind and enjoy the simple things in life and have fun with my kids and grand kids. His videos are helpful and informative for anyone who wants to seek adventure and brings new ideas.
Thank you Michael, I’m pleased you’re looking after yourself. Thank you for the awesome footage, I’ve enjoyed the level of professional footage you produce.
Huge respect, sir. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your country with someone who will probably never see it except through the kindness of people like you. You live in a nice place and so do I. Canada has a lot of exploring left for me. You helped push me back outside. Thank you for all your hard work. Go enjoy yourself now. I have been retired 12 years now and no one ever wishes they worked more. In the words of my favorite Vulcan, "Live long and prosper."
Just startered watching your vids thought finally found someone who loves what he does and not all about plugging companies was so refreshing now your finishing up lol
Same with me. Watched one vid, loved it, subscribed, then found this vid straight after... 😂
Same
Enjoyed what you shared, Michael. Thanks a bunch.
My personal hope is to someday see you as part of a fun group doing what you have been doing, so all the work doesn't fall on so few shoulders.
Happy new Year and all the best, Michael, to you and yours as you... SEEK ADVENTURE!!!
hey man i just wanted to say thanks a lot youve really helped me out getting started in offroading and camping. some of the best advice ive come across. also have always loved your attitude.
enjoy!
I’ve recently discovered this channel, and have fallen in love with it. Thank you for everything you all have done. I’ve learned a lot about what I want to do, with the help of your content. As a photographer, I understand that you need to capture things for yourself, and just enjoy the moment without all the distractions/worries. Hello, and see you soon, from the U.S. 🤘🏼
I've spent about 5 hours today watching random videos of yours. Watching this last video, I can't help but feel super happy for you, not just because you did such a great job making these video's. But it's so nice that you were able to focus on what really matters in this world. You summed it up brilliantly. I really wish you all the very best in the future. I also really hope that you rediscovered your passion for the outdoors and FWDing again. All the best mate!!!
Thanks for the wonderfull scenaries and wry humour. Though your hard work, I have had adventures vicariously through you. Thank you so much for enriching my life. Live your passion and enjoy!
Thanks for the great content, and I appreciate the work behind the scenes.
Good luck in your future endeavours.

Your work is very inspiring. it keeps me motivate to get out and "seek adventure".
Happy 2020 to you!
Hey from California! I've been learning greatly from your videos-thank you! I certainly hope you spend this sabbatical to regain your passions and come back stronger! Be well and chances are I'll re-re-rewatch your videos for refreshers. Thank you!
Thanks so much for all of the amazing videos , tips and for taking all of us along with you for the ride.
Ive only just recently discovered your channel and its fabulous.
Your very kind and humble.
Enjoy your own adventures, rejuvenate your soul and reignite your passion .
All the best , and Thankyou :)
Thanks for the adventures! You gave me a lot of inspiration, and ideas of what to do when I tour Australia..
Now get out and enjoy your passions again. It's been a fun ride!
I came across your channel at the start of the year when I was looking for touring kitchen set ups for the camp trailer I built and I’ve been watching ever since. You’ve always been informative and entertaining which is hard to do at the same time. I’m going to miss having new content but I’m glad your going off to Seek Adventure 👍🏻
Thanks Michael for all your work, the family and I really enjoyed watching your channel, and learnt a lot! Best of luck for the future.
Thank you for all of the great videos! I have learned a lot from your channel and will revisit often. Wishing you all the best in your future as you continue to seek adventure!
thanks for a year of great content, fun, good ole Aussie humour and a willingness to share. good luck for the year ahead and SEEK ADVENTURE!!!
You've made all of us to love that beautiful Australia! I'm gonna miss those incredible landscapes!
Have a great year! Greetings from the other side of the planet.
May be, next time you can seek adventire through Argentina.
Thank you for the time and effort you have put into Seek Adventure. I have always wanted to travel around Australia and your videos have helped me prepare for my trip. My trip is starting this April with my family. Hope to meet you on the road. All the best for the future. Thank you
Wishing you all the best for your future adventures in 2020. After a week at work to be able to get out into the great outdoors and relax is the best way to shake off those work stresses so thank you for sharing your getaways with us, it’s much appreciated.
The classic Coight part was priceless haha
Thanks for everything man and best of luck in the future 🥳 🍻
Great decision man! Seek adventure! May you have the best year yet!
Happy 2020 :)
I have been binging your videos for the last few months, definately one of my favorite channels. Watched this video now and realised that its more than a year old. Damn! I just want tp thank you for the videos, my family and I are immigrating to WA in Jan, your videos gave me comfort as we have a passion for the outdoors, to be honest you got me extremely excited about the move. As there are external issues pushing us out of our home country, not that we want to go, but now we are ready to go. A big thank you!
I've not long got onto your channel. Enjoy the good honest down to earth way you produce your videos. Love it. Good luck with your change in direction. Hope to see more vid's in the future.
Well best of luck in all your endeavors! Life is short, live it to the fullest!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INSPIRATION AND YOUR ENERtGY! Like everyone else I selfishly hope that you just reduce content and don't disappear altogether, but whatever you do.. STAY AWESOME! I would love to see you as our state tourism ambassador!
Thank YOU!!!! I Absolutely love you amd your videos. Thank you for all the time and energy you've put into this channel.
Now, we shall go out and SEEK ADVENTURE... more 🤗🤗🤗🤗 love and respect from a fellow adventurer in Northern NSW 🌻🌻
Well done mate . Being a fellow west Aussie it is great to see our beautiful state through your eyes and your passion for our amazing outdoors that we have here . Good luck in your future endeavours
Thanks for all the vids mate.

Best Adventures to you! Thanks for the great content and Happy New Year from Canada, BC, Kelowna
Mate! I literally found your channel last week (start of Feb 2020). Great videos. Awesome locations. Love your honesty and presence. Best of luck.
You shared with us some beautiful places and gave out great information. Your videos inspired me and I hope to get back to Australia and do some more exploring before I get to old. Thank you and the best of luck to you!
Will definitely miss having your videos to look forward to every Tuesday but SO proud of you for having your priorities straight! Blessings await!
YES! You know, what truly matters! Happy new year and keep enjoying life the way you're passionate about, and always be true to yourself!
Thanks for all what you've shared with us, even if this might be the last adventure. But since videoing is another passion of yours, I'm pretty sure, we'll get to see some little video once in a while.
💕
Michael, I only stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and I've been hammering watching all of your videos in order since then. I seen this video pop up in my feed over that time and to be honest, I've been dreading it, as I knew that your videos were obviously coming to an end. You've been an inspiration to watch and can get anyone even thinking about camping or 4 wheel driving into a die hard fan and desperate to get out there. Even my 6 year old daughter regularly wants to watch your videos and now has a passion for camping, all thanks to you. Thank you for all your great videos and I hope in the time since making these and in the pandemic you've managed to still continue doing what you love. Hopefully, from time to time you might come back and give us some updates. Thank you also for the great tips and tricks along the way.
I started watching your videos this past month (June 2020) while searching for Roadtrips/overland content in Australia. Once I ran into your videos, I could not stop watching and I found them awesome, funny (e.g. the intro of this one! ! !, the best) and simple. Bummer I might not see anymore new videos in the future, but I think I am still have a lot to catch up on old videos anyways, I just started following you. I am happy for you, and wish you the best. Thanks for producing cool and entertaining videos, I will be hard to find more unintentionally funny and happy adventure/overland videos on TH-cam....
Wow, I didn't expect that.
Sorry to see you go mate, great vids each and every time.
I am sure everyone on here will miss seeing your content.
Thanks Michael. We’ve loved watching your videos, always excited when a knew one was uploaded. They have been inspiring and entertaining. We will miss them a lot, but totally understand why you are stopping them. Safe travels buddy 👍
Thank you for everything! You are an inspiration to all of us who are seeking adventures all around the world. Greetings from Panama, Central Amercia.
Thank you for all your time and dedication. Really enjoyed watching your channel. Our adventures where made great by all the tips you shared. Go have fun as you inspired so many to do the same.
Awesome finale mate!
Hopefully you do continue to produce a few more adventure vids mate
Leaving with class, like a true gentleman. 👍
Just found your channel randomly through suggested vids (the tow hitch bag was the one lol) and I'm a fan of your video and analysis style. Totally understand your reasoning for changing the focus of your life back to the way it was. Thanks for sharing your love of life with us.
I've only recently discovered your channel but I've loved every bit of it! My partner and I are now always talking about our future "adventuring" so thank you for inspiring us even more! Stay true to yourself and all the best.
Thanks for all the vid's Michael, really enjoyed them. I guess now I can binge watch them all again :) - Peter V.
Thank you Michael. I have followed you since the early days and you've been a big inspiration for me to plan and get ready for an up and coming big adventure of mine that I've always wanted to do. After a traumatic workplace accident in early 2017 I've spent a lot of time watching TH-cam, with your channel always being there and watched as soon as possible. I wish you luck and joy in whatever you do. You set out to inspire people to push their limits, so take comfort in knowing you've succeeded. Thank you, and those around you.
Good work mate.
Seek Adventure !
I JUST found this channel..so bummed it closed down but love the enthusiasm of the videos..and the footage is outstanding!!!
Brilliant footage ... A great finish ... Special to see a man of integrity and wisdom! Enjoy your continued adventures! Thanks for your contribution in helping us to enjoy the great outdoors.
Thanks for your wonderful adventures and sharing them with me
Hope to see you in the bush someday
You rock!
So, it seems you may have actually learned more than you taught. Can’t put a price on that. Now you can get back to really Seek(ing) Adventure!
Only recently discovered your videos as someone who is just starting to drive on the beach hour videos are fantastic all the best and hope you enjoy your own adventure
Glad I stumbled on your channel a couple of days ago. I’m just getting back into camping and my daughter joined my on my last quick trip. We had a blast. I can’t wait for her to be back this weekend so I can show her some of your vids. Take care and enjoy your adventure!
