Its good to see Gary Lyon out in the WA bush showing us some camp spots

[@monstermashie3714]

haha... i was thinking the same thing!!

[@ryanangus770]

That was awesome, well done Kris and Anthony. Great shots and amazing spots, cant wait to see where you take us next.

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Thanks for your feedback Ryan! We can't wait either :)

[@Whiskywatcher]

I camped in spot 4 back in the mid 90s with my cousin and uncle as a 13 or 14 yr old, great memories and i still love heading out that way

[@Kestrel38]

Kris, great job! Production is superb and good to see your humour has never changed!

[@tjames8074]

Thanks guys. Over here in the east we don't get to see much of WA - except the Kimberly. Really good to see there is somewhere else to see. I am planning to spend 3 or so months over there soon so is really good to get ideas. Really liked you video. Post more real soon ah! (ps - will try your 'pizza' recipe). Cheers

[@WildTouring]

Nicely done mate, subscribed!

[@BrynWilliamsROM]

Nice work gents, some more great spots I need to check out in Dwellingup now. subscribed!

[@stevedonaldson7116]

awesome guys. looking forward to the next installment

[@louiswarner4924]

Can't wait to give some of these spots a try. I've been going to dwellingup for years but have only really ever known about baden powell.

[@jordanmcdonagh6235]

Absolutely love the videos!! I would love to see some more, any videos in the near future currently in the pipeline? Hope to see some more from you soon & would love to receive the waypoints/image to where some of the spots are if you can? Best camping series/videos I've seen as a Perth local, very keen to see where you go next.

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Cheers Jordan!! Kris just had a new addition to the family, so that's delayed the production a little. Not long now till the next episode is released. I'd say about 2 weeks! Good idea regarding waypoints. We should start leaving this information in the description. 👌

[@jordanmcdonagh6235]

That's fantastic mate, my brother, my family & I have watched your video of Dwellingup multiple times as we excitedly organise our up coming camping trip thanks to your video! Appreciate it & looking forward too it :).

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Gives me goose bumps just thinking about camping there. Nice fire, few beers. Mm mm mm. You'll love it, guaranteed. I look forward to a full report. 😉

[@craigmurphy163]

I really liked this vid very calming and I might take a trip out there looks lovely

[@guseva1]

Great channel guys happy to subscribe and follow

[@pajman4264]

Get the Disco out there Kris ! :) Secret Spot isn't so secret anymore. Everytime we go there there's usually someone set up... Hey wouldn't mind seeing a video on Anthony's little trailer and set up ! Great vid gents.

[@anthonybrandis619]

Hey Nudge, thanks for the comment & stay tuned... Kris & I will do trailer setups in up coming vids. We both have trailers with different setups that have their different applications for touring, but the UP4ADVENTURE trailer is the perfect four wheel drive trailer, it will go anywhere the 150 takes it!!!

[@drcwolf96]

yes that trailer does look smart would like too see a video on it some time...

[@YouBodhi]

So happy you just showed me how to make camp pizzas!!! thanks guys great video :)

[@andrewwilson4528]

Thanks for the tour guys, will have to ry the pizza pockets too.

[@karlschmidt4018]

Awesome spot 🍻

[@MrJohnmccrory]

awesome spots fellas , just what ive been looking for , what about the last spot I didn't see that one on the map?

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Hey all, we just want to reiterate to check with the local authorities before deciding to camp in these locations. There are definitely signed areas that say no camping (between the entrance to the fireline and "Spot 1"), so we kept away from those areas. If you decide to take the chance and not check with the authorities, at least do the right thing and clean up after yourselves. Otherwise, if you don't, we'll find you and shove a ring spanner up your bum. Thats right, a ring spanner.

[@Alex.G]

Ouch...is the size of the ring spanner dependent on the seriousness of the crime? :P

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Good question. Didnt think about that. Maybe start with 3" and work down from there ;)

[@FarmerBG]

great content boys, keep it up

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Thanks!

[@sethhellmrich5882]

Bloody good video👍👍

[@phonebuzz]

Nice video guys, just by chance you don't have any waypoints for the camping spots do you?

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Loved it. well worth the sub mate. Being from the southwest i know a few good spots as well,

[@Sandman-xe3qr]

Nice job guys

[@GaryPArmstrong]

Have been done this track and yes some great spots to camp away from the hassle and baffle

[@rangaroo6385]

at 35:19 how far south are you on the Murray fireline? in terms of hours drive from the lane poole manned entry gate (at start of video)? Just need a rough reference point how far it is and if its worth the drive for my family. Cheers mate

[@AndyisEpic]

hey guys. think i could grab some gps waypoints for entrance, spots etc

[@Sh4dow682]

So much has changed since this video..

[@nikolaykarakashov6324]

Great stuff mate, that's a lovely stretch of river! BTW what's the basemap you're using for the transition graphics? Looks more detailed than OSM.

[@zoezoe610]

Any more trips coming up

[@clintwestwoodrp]

great video guys! What maps are you using in the video?

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Thanks for your feedback Clint. The map is a scanned hardcopy of a 25:1 map which has been blended together using Photoshop. If you are interested, PM me and I will send you the file.

[@kayakfishingaustralia1261]

Great video!! Thanks a lot for the heads up on these great spots!! Any chance I could grab a copy of that map buddy? Would be much appreciated. Couldn’t seem to find a way to pm you to ask??

[@zab6359]

Hey guys what map are you using at the start?

[@1hoppyac1]

Looks more like a burrito than pizza 😀

[@bennn82]

Hey guys love the video excellent work. Just wondering - do you guys do much post work on your gopro footage or is it straight out of camera??

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Hey there. Most of the GoPro footage is used with a gimbal and a bit of colour correction.

[@peterbootsma4414]

where is that last spot u were at please

[@peterpeterson4272]

Do you need a Nissan to help you get up those steep bits ?

[@jadenpenfold9971]

Hey boys planing on doing a trip like you guys did but I was just wondering what did you pay at the rangers station?? thanks Jaden

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

It’s about $15 per car. Haven’t been there in a while, but it’s about that.

[@jadenpenfold9971]

Ok thanks guys

[@benwoodley8158]

track stiil open?

[@ollysfishing4231]

That first spot where its washed out, is now undriveable unless youve got big lift and tyres

[@jessecollins7018]

Tell the whole world mate🤣

[@pajman4264]

G'day gents We stayed at the same spot (where you guys camped overnight) last weekend 3/9/16. The whole site was under water except for a small portion on the left hand side bank which was relatively dry. The access track (on the left if looking up) in and out was quite slippery and looks like someone has attempted to make another chicken track to the right of the original track, which is now pretty much a car swallowing gorge. Quick question for you which is doing my head in - who's driving the drone when it's filming you BOTH driving from above ???? It's got me stumped !! :)

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Sounds like the rain did a good job. Hope you managed to get comfortable. Those Phantom 4's pretty much fly themselves. I was holding the steering wheel in one hand, with the drone remote in the other hand. The drone was set to "follow me mode", which means wherever the remote goes, the drone will follow and point at it. Pretty cool stuff... The particular shot you are referring to, we had to shoot twice. I forgot to press the record button the first run. haha.

[@pajman4264]

haha. Nah mate, good work. Great to see that area from a different perspective to just ground level. Great job. Must try that Calzone recipe too. Nonna would be proud, if I had a nonna... :)

[@HoldFastCC]

wheres episode 2?

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Graeme Guy you mean episode 2 to Dwellingup or the next video? Episode 2 is paling I up to Bremer bay. It’s there 👍🏻

[@fuckingkidsthesedays]

i think i saw this 80 on leach today

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

Yep, that would've been me.

[@stephenthomson2196]

why don't you wear your seat belt?

[@wamadeoff-road1059]

That's a great question.

[@AdrianHuntSLB]

This video should probably be removed, the track has now been intentionally blocked off now beyond the first spot, by a felled tree. Presumably by parks, presumably because more and more people were going into the area.

[@BZBDUZIT]

Has this video ruined this beautiful looking spot with too much populist or worth still going out?
