[@TylerThompson90]

I reckon thats one of your best videos mate, nailed it 👌👌. Georges junction and Styx river are both awesome spots 👍🤠. Cheers shad

15:45 - Camping Trivia! The smoke from a campfire will always follow you, because a hot campfire creates its own up-draft. So cool fresh air is blowing in from the sides like a vortex. If you sit on one side of the campfire, you create a wind barrier. And the cool air will come in from the opposite direction to the barrier, causing the smoke in the up-draft to follow the wind barrier. The best way to combat this is to sit someone on the opposite side to the fire. You're welcome! ;)

A fantastic way to spend a Sunday morning, enjoyed every bloody second of this.

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you liked it mate, appreciate it

Another great clip mate, well done !!! I timed it perfectly this morning, a nice hot coffee and just enough minutes to watch this one before heading off to work for the day ... sweet !!! I really liked too how we were watching the in front of the scenes video today which featured "behind the scenes" footage we watched a week back, kind of like going into the future to come back to the present to watch the future again .... ouch ...... my head's now hurting 🤣 either way, keep up the GREAT videos mate, thoroughly enjoying every minute of them. 👍👍✅✅✅

[@TylerThompson90]

Sounds like a good way to start the day! Glad you enjoyed it mate! appreciate it.

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha, yep. Thanks mate!

[@michaelkeenan6668]

Great video Tyler. Lovely spot. Ive been there a few times and back there soon with my camper trailer. I rekon you could do a whole episode of yourself running up hills and across rivers to collect your camera :-)

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! That was basically the behind the scenes episode haha!

[@neilheyward2599]

Fantastic video again mate. I'm now planning a trip back there and drive some of the roads my dad surveyed. It's a great spot to explore

[@simonjaensch6583]

Hey Tyler another great video!Just a tip with the river crossings particularly the deeper ones it’s a good idea to leave your seatbelt off and window down just in case you have to bail out of the car! Cheers mate!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the tip!

[@triggerdose]

great episode mate

Great video! We just bought one of the decked out touring utes from Mid Coast 4wd in Port Macquarie with plans to do similar touring with the our kids Aria and Symphony (both at Nature School). We are complete newbs at 4x4ing so binge watching your content hehe.

One of the best yet mate! Can't wait to check out some of these places. What the heck is that sound at 22:32 ?!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Demi and I were rewatching and said the same thing! haha

[@wayneshafton]

@@TylerThompson90 I replayed it like 5 times. It cracks me up! Keep up the great work mate. Hope to bump into you out there on the trail one day 🍻

[@TruBluOffroad]

haha... That last ten seconds made it for me. 🤣🤣

[@hktcss]

Wow bro, intro was epic, the rest of your episode was insane. Been thru only a couple tracks in the great dividing range a decade ago, can’t wait to go back once the government allows us to travel

[@TylerThompson90]

Appreciate it mate!

[@simonpaynter8205]

Drone footage was epic. Makes me want to get out there, pity it is the first day of lockdown again...

[@bogdanhh]

:)))))) So funny the pancake scene! I hope it tastes better.

[@TylerThompson90]

haha, glad you enjoyed. Yep tasted good!

[@4WheelingSA]

Great video Tyler! Each just gets better! Shout if you ever want to visit South Africa and do some content here.

Thanks!

Cinnamon. “Just put a heap in and hope for the best”. 😂😂👍

only way to do it!

[@jeep6242]

Demi is awesome. More please.

[@TylerThompson90]

Sure is!

[@markharding8042]

Pretty good looking track wouldn't mind doing that and fishing along the way

[@mrc8143]

#thatwassick #anothercrackingvid Reminds me of a motovlogger, Accidental Broadcast, I used to watch and he'd always refer to having 'all the cinemas'. This episode was like a dramatic feature film but still with all the original awesome stuff and epic locations! #cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@mikehzz9848]

Yes, the smoke follows me wherever I sit around the fire. 😊

[@markfarnell183]

terrific video showcasing some amazing country. You could add , "no animals were harmed in the making of this video". Tofu Laksa would not be seen very often out there

[@TylerThompson90]

thanks mate!

[@terrybarbie5207]

Hi Tyler - try using a wading staff when walking the faster flowing rivers. I use one for fly fishing & it makes a big difference.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Phil_McAvity]

Nice one & congratulations on the pregnancy 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@songjasonjiseok8547]

Here was my hidden jam!!!

[@stephenforeshew2671]

Have a look at the Hard Korr orange/white light bar kit (but not the cheaper version) for the canopy.. comes with a dimmer and I recommend the on/off switch which can be purchased separately. I’ve been using them for a couple of years now and they work a treat.

[@stephenforeshew2671]

Sorry… forgot to say another great video mate, keep up the good work 👍🏽

[@TylerThompson90]

thanks mate! I'll have to check those kits out

[@danielsanderson1381]

Great work mate, loved the video. I've been to Styx but never explored around Georges Junction. Any tips on finding that trail? or what mapping stuff do you use to find tracks like this not being a local to the area?

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, that trail is very hard to find and the entrance to it is unmarked. The marked entrance on the map takes you through a farmers property and he doesn't take to kindly to visitors. I use Gaia GPS on my phone

[@TheMth370]

Another great video, did you get much paint damage following the creek track ( with the 21 crossings)

[@travelsolo2677]

Another great video mate👍🍻 didn’t you know smoke from fires are attracted to people with big beards🤔😂👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! haha, it seems that way!

[@SouthernHoax]

Nice - any thought of getting TYLERZ number plate?

[@Aussieoutdoors4x4Adventures]

hey mate love your videos you should do one about editing please keep em coming

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@leehooper5362]

Top video guys. Do you walk those mud holes? How do you test depth? What an awesome place.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yeah I always check mud holes before I drive into them, usually with a stick!

[@OzTrax4X4]

Great video yet again. I highly recommend the Lightforce ROK20UF for canopy lights as that's what I had on the 90 series.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you! I'll have to check them out!

[@OzTrax4X4]

@@TylerThompson90 No problem Tyler 😊

[@malmarsden9730]

Where did you get your fire pit it looks very useful

Man you deserve to go viral your videos are soo good. You just need a cooking segment and you would be better than 4wd247

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@triggerdose]

love that spot, how was the high water marks in the trees!

[@TylerThompson90]

Me too!

i love this type of camping, im in tamworth and would love to find this track. is there anyway i could get a map?

[@eastcoastexplorers4x415]

So sitting here enjoying the video and my girlfriend just walked past the TV. She said to tell you that the salt makes the sides crispy and yours are too thick to be called pancakes, 🤣🤣 they are pikelets, sorry to disappointment you🙃 still love the video👍🤪.

[@TylerThompson90]

haha, tell your girlfriend i said thanks for the info!!

[@dsw9670]

Mate Another Great video. It’s a shame NPW won’t let us drive over from George's Junction to Youdales Hut (what’s left of it 🔥) and out to Oxley Hwy.

[@TylerThompson90]

thanks mate, yeah it would be great if you could do that hey!

[@maxxfx4767]

Looks amazing mate. Love getting inland from the mid-north coast there, some very special spots. Can you recommend a map of the area?

[@TylerThompson90]

Pretty amazing! I don't have any paper map recommendations but I use Gaia maps on my phone.

Great vid thx. one thing, when your away with Demi what do you guys do for a loo ?

[@markiusgalfordii9248]

Every time I see you guys 4x4 driving I want to go there and drive around that country the problem is I don't know how much it cost for a four-wheel drive over there and I got quite the fun set of trails around here one of them pretty sure we'll give gunshot and Knowles run for their money and it's one trail

[@MussaKZN]

Navara drivers are so funny! They never believe in their vehicle 100% “We made it back too George’s junction” We’re you expecting not to make it ?? I would drive any of my Toyota’s to the moon and back and be surprised if they didn’t make it!! But anyway good video Bro!!👍
