Not ideal! Sorry to hear. Without going to deep (pardon the water pun 😅) I quit my job recently and took the trip to Cape York to reset and pivot to a more healthy, joyful and fulfilling life. On the trip, Self talk and negative thoughts turned out to be the worst of my perceived ‘unhappy’ life. I would encourage you to keep seeing the positives in whats happening and be mindful of self talk and relax into your current situation and then (I believe) good things come to those who wait. A great book to listen too while you have some time is ‘Unstressable’ by Mo Gowdat…. helped me 👌🏻 My cousin is very connected in the 4wd community in Lennox Head and may be able to help out. I’ll reach out to him and see what we can do to help out

Hey man, i have been watching your videos since you first brought your boat years back. Love the content you put out and especially look forward to seeing your tour update videos of your trip so far. If you decided to hit the road again travelling id strongly consider the choice of vehicle you take. As much as i love the ls patrol i am yet to see a reliable one and as you would know theyre bloody expensive to fix. Whatever you chose to do im sure everything will work out for you 👍 All the best mate and look forward to your next video👌

That sucks Mark. Life is full of ups and downs and they should always be taken as an experience.You sound a bit low.I thinks it’s time to just stabilise for a while,get your car back,enjoy the work,make some new friends and go catch some fish then reaccess and enjoy what’s around you.A good life is just at arms length you just have to grasp it.The old saying the grass looks greener on the other side.All the best.

Hey Mark how’s it going . I’d love to do a trip up there , looks awesome . 👌 . Mate I’m keen to know how your DCDC is going , I’ve just installed a lithium on my Renegade to run electronics and want to charge it via DCDC as you are . I’m running a 75 merc on my 460 and I’m concerned I’ll flog out the 35 amp alternator . Have you had any issues with your Yamahas alternator ? Cheers .
