    Molly is great content as is Cam from Wild Touring.

    Hey guys. I stumbled across this video (thanks TH-cam algorithm) and love the concept. Similarly to yourselves, I regularly binge watch the same channels you had featured in your video (plus a few more) and I even threw up some hard earned coin to Stephan's GoFund Me page in his legal battle with DCS (I suspect DCS's days as a business entity will be numbered as a result).
    Speaking of TH-camrs helping each other out to promote their respective channels, there is a Tuber that I've been following for a while now that you could maybe feature on a future 'Yarn' video to help him along on his TH-cam journey. His name is Deezel and his channel is 'Getting Around Aus - Camper Trailer Travellin'. He's just your average dad that loves camping and touring with his family, he does product reviews, vehicle builds - all the usual stuff you'd expect. I love the fact that he's really passionate about what he does and he's having a red hot crack at the whole TH-cam thing. Anyway, please check him out and possibly consider running a brief feature of his channel in a future Yarn video 👍

    I look for accurate reviews of products before buying something I am interested in If channels feel compelled to only publish "positive" reviews it defeats the purpose of a 'review. I really enjoy The Outdoor Gear Review channel. All products are bought by himself so no agenda. He gives his honest pros and cons after testing and will actually tell companies to take a product off the market if he feels it is dangerous. He gives a lot of gear away to youth groups and anything that he considers below par gets chucked in the bin. He has earned respect and has a big channel and following. its a breath of fresh air. Finally just want to say love the Off Track Yarns talk its a great idea!!!

    • @Off.Track4x4
      @Off.Track4x4  10 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      That's sounds like an amazing channel, I'll go check him out! The freedom that comes if you can earn enough money to buy the products yourself would be amazing. I'd say I'm running 50/50 at the moment I'll buy alot of products but also help the small new companies break into the market if they send me something to review.
      Thank you for your support on this video 🙂👌

    Well done for speaking up about what most people are too scared to say. I choose not to click on their thumbnails purely because I know it's click bait. If they used normal thumbnails of them just enjoying their travels I'd be much more inclined to click on their videos. Nothing wrong with the occasional click bait lol but every video is just going way too far. Keep up the good work boy's 👍🍻

    I used to watch SKT, stopped and unsubscribed after the insane amount of click bait. It was ridiculous and still is, EVERY SINGLE video is some dramatic issue (worst day on our trip, we are broken etc) and in reality he just dropped his toast on the floor 🙄 Our Whittle Adventure actually said in a recent video he tried clickbait because he saw others doing it and isnt happy with video views. He ended up saying he wont do it anymore and i hope that's true. I found TIAV overrated, and when another channel commented on how mean they apparently are, it made sense for me. Elnick is probs my fave channel, them and Wild Touring seem so real and genuine. JS Adventures is the same, small but genuine. Ive gone off Lifestyle Pioneers as I found they've started clickbait and used to enjoy Feel Good Family but that seems to have turned into a wannabe-tv show and they show themselves doing multiple 'takes' when they havent said something right and I find that not genuine. Its not a movie, we just want real people.

    • @Off.Track4x4
      @Off.Track4x4  5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Mate great comment!
      Really likes the part about channels not being genuine. I think it's so easy to get carried away trying to make TH-cam a high end production, when in reality people just want raw real content. You may not believe this, but Lloyd and I did this video all in one take, I just cut it down to 30mins. We leave in all our stuff ups as it shows we are just two blokes having a chin wag.

      Love this comment, I thought there would be a few that disagree with me, I would tell them about it, same as I did with Darchee depending on their response I guess is my next action. As I didn't hold back on Darchee after they told me it's a known common fault that they aren't fixing. That had to be shared, but if the company agrees to fix the products issues re send it to me to test I'll say nothing. Some time the TH-camrs are used for R&D on a product so we should be the ones finding issues.

    Hey good on you guys for touching on the click bait, its an absolute pet peeve of mine. I have a circle of creators where we discuss all things YT and we are constantly sending each other screen grabs of the latest click bait from those certain creators that do it and have a laugh. I have definitely given it some thought though, and the sad fact is, it works. Until more viewers starts to boycott it like we have, it will continue. The first step to get that to happen is to talk about it, so well done fellas.
    As for collaborating, we love to do it, its really what YT is all about, lifting each other up and supporting each other, every creator knows what the grind is like. We've done some fun stuff with the likes of "Jack & Megan" "Our whittle adventure" "Happening empty nesters" "overland exposure". Though, I won't mention names but we have camped beside some bigger creators and reached out and they just ignored us. Do reach out if you would like to do something with us, will be East Coast next winter.

    My opinion on TIAV negativity is the classic tall poppy syndrome here as in a lot of people dont like to see others succeed which is sad. They did it and did it well. They have also diversified with product, books etc and I say good luck to them. Love their content. Artzone Travels do beautiful cinematic content and if you haven't seen them, check them out.

    Great stuff guys, agreed, a lot of big travel channels are just using click bait thumbnails. I've pretty much stopped watching them and moved to smaller creators who still produce good content. Also, I watch a lot of motorbike channels and they're not into this click bait thing. Also so many of these caravan channels are selling that stupid Kangen MLM. They don't advertise it on their channel, but hit the link in the bio and you get so many selling you the "free from 9-5" "affiliate marketing" "online business" crap.
    Also, the American trucks are for towing on asphalt, keep them away from the OTT. Agreed the same can happen with the Toyota's and Nissan's. However, if you're stuck in Cape York, you can express the parts to Bamaga for those two, try that with and american truck.

      That's a really good point you make, most parts for the US trucks have to come in from the states, I remember there was a TH-camr at the start of covid who had to wait 3 months in WA for parts to arrive. Ash really wants one to tow the horse float, I'm happy with my 79 🙂

    I can’t stand the click bait titles that are around now.
    From what I remember I think Molly sells swimwear so it’s understandable that she’s in it all the time, I think some people are harsh on her.
    Some other topics to discuss;
    I love Ronny Dahls trip videos but I’m over his green screen videos things I don’t know or top 5 things your 4x4 needs.
    The “4x4 influencers” that are flogging their only fans, it’s cringe.

Putting a Ford ranger in its place wouldn't work the interior is to fragile. But their definitely is plenty of them driving around the Gold Coast that aren't used for that reason.

    Big reason for VERY expensive recoveries in Simmo is Insurance companies and the 'extra' recovery packages, for example I buy the $15k extra recovery package off Club 4x4 because of 'where' I go and I reckon the 'recovery' mobs know this and violla...up goes the cost.

    I can't say that channels doing reviews on items is my favorite viewing on TH-cam yes l do watch some but take most like grain of salt. While some are paid others are gifted and others are bought with there own money to me it comes back to trust in the person doing the talking and maybe l might be a cynical barstard but not many fill me with that trust. Just because someone received something and doesn't get paid anything they still get the use of that item and a good chance of future gifts. TH-cam is probably advertising more product than free to air these days and deciding who is genuine is not always easy.

    • @Off.Track4x4

      Mate this is a ripper bloody comment!! So well said, would you mind if we use it in an episode?
      Something to think about the gifted products, it takes us about 2 hours of researching and planning for the video, 2 hours of filming longer if you go on location to film. Then 8 hours to edit, plus 2 hours for thumbnail and upload info to TH-cam. All up 14 hours.
      Make a pay rate of say $35 per hour pretty low for a subcontractor but we will use that. $490 is what that company should pay to have the review done. Trust worthy people like me do it for free, we don't sell the product as we won't to keep testing it. TH-cam will give us $100 for the video. So best way to look at it is the products them self have to be worth all the time and effort to the person. If they were crap they wouldn't invest the time.
