Mount Stirling to Woods Point - Victorian High Country 4x4 Adventure 2019 #6/6

[@TylerThompson90]

Sorry comments were disabled for some reason when I put this video up, only just realised but all fixed it. KZbin's done this to a few of my videos lately!

[@CliveWebbAustralia]

KZbin apologized a few days ago, saying they were having some kind of technical diffidently and that thousands of people were effected by the disabled comments problem...

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah they disabled comments on all my videos a couple of weeks ago without saying anything and I had to re enable them all, they said it was because of their new 'minors in videos' policy where they were disabling comments on videos that had kids in them but not sure what happened with this time

[@davidwheat84]

Fantastic mate, absolutely loved it.

[@stephenberlyn8377]

One of the most "real" series we have watched! Awesome Tyler! Stay safe brother!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks! Will do!

[@n80sr5]

Such cool memories for your family mate!!!

[@dagmarkrautloher8262]

Great info of such an iconic location. 👍👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@louiskudlak2256]

Awesome series bro 👍👍👍 Sad when a trip ends, then start planning next 1

[@stuartmackey8421]

Great watching mate, special that you could spend it with your son and old man. Keep up the great work.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate 👌

[@graemebdh2172]

Just watched this Mt Stirling track vid. That takes real dedication to set up your camera for those great driving shots from the roadside. And I love the drone footage. You missed pointing out Mt Cobbler (also known as Indian Head) from the top of Mt Stirling. Cobbler is the great backdrop for Craig’s Hut and it can also be seen from the Hume Highway at Glenrowan if you know where to look.

Always a pleasure to watch mate . Top job. High Country is my favourite .

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Amazing place out there :)

Excellent series. Really appreciate the commentary on track difficulty.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed :)

[@rogermace4516]

What a awesome series, just loved everyone of them, You should be on TV because you leave many of the 4x4 shows for dead ...... Keep Safe

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching :)

[@drgloverable]

Great series. The main thing i love about your vids is your explanation of where you are going and what you see. It empowers others to either take a similar route in an unknown area, or explore if a bit more game. Great you have your son with you, and infuse a sense of adventure in him. My 20 yo daughter still wants to spend a month at a time with me touring the outback....It doesnt rub off!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Thats awesome you still get to do that with your daughter, hopefully Kai will still be keen when he's that age

[@steveannett8994]

I really enjoy all your presentations Tyler. Great footage and excellent info provided to us all about this amazing country we live in and share.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching :)

[@shaunmanning1831]

Awesome series mate thanks for sharing it with us its great to see three generations out enjoying our awesome country quality time

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, thanks for watching! We are lucky to be able to all get out there together :)

[@mattpearce4099]

Fantastic series Tyler. Very well put together and informative. Look forward to seeing you on KZbin again real soon. Cheers.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)

[@gerhardpetersen]

Really enjoyed this series. Will check out your others too. I like a lot of things - first, you put a name to all the tracks, then you don't tear them up like most yobbos, and you show what can be done with a good set of tyres at the right pressure on an otherwise standard vehicle. If you didn't have the winch I'd call you crazy going through the high country, but you have that covered.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback! Haha yep good thing I've got the winch for when things go wrong

[@rlhydn3438]

Great ep 👍 that kid is a heck of a sidekick

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, yep lucky to have him on all these trips :)

[@Natalie-nd9nl]

most enjoyable series yet tyler , was great getting home sunday arvo putting the feet up and watching with a cold one in hand , we look forward to your next series , cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching! Plenty more videos to come :)

[@MitchMiller123]

Fantastic trip, your right about the Mt Stirling track, coming down it last year I slid into a hole and did a couple of thousand $ panel damage. Loved your campsite up there and the drove footage was brilliant. Look forward to your next trip.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Was an amazing camp :) And yep people told me the track was completely different last year, what a difference to what it is now!

[@picsontour9837]

[@TylerThompson90]

@@luvbigfish11 Hey mate, can't remember at all sorry haha, not even sure if id be able to find it again. But honestly there are nice campsites through that whole area everywhere along creeks so you'll have no dramas finding a nice spot once you head out there

[@luvbigfish11]

Lol no worries , been told to head up daylight creek rd , guess I'll find out tomorrow , theres some nice tracks down south coast just past ulladulla , turn right up wheel barrow rd heading (southbound) there's a nice free camp called yadboro , it would be kool to to a series around that area if you ever have free time. Regards Paul 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Okay no worries, thanks mate! Ill write that down and try and get to that area at some stage, always keen for new places to check out :)

[@rooster8039]

Another rad vid and another rad series...The best thing for me is you show us where you have been and where you are going...👌...And another thing taking Lil Mac with you, I would have loved that type of adventure at that age...That's rad...🤟...Keep on doing what you're doing ...Brillant...🍺👍...

Awesome Video mate!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@4bnewb969]

Another enjoyable video to finish a fantastic series. You were fortunate with the weather and conditions - I was up there today and a bushfire in the Steiner road area had the authorities close the whole Howqua Hills area. The amount of time and effort you have put into the series shows you have a real passion for it. Hopefully we will see more....

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the support :). Yeah I've seen all the fires down there at the moment, not good at all!

[@cwsmith1975]

Mate great video - I was wondering if you could tell me what you’re running in terms of suspension and tyres/wheels? I have a 2015 np300 and keen to see what others have done.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! On this one I had a 30mm tough dog lift with 265/75/R16's. On my new Nav I have 50mm ironman foam cell pro lift with 285/75/R16

[@johnford5682]

Great series mate, best drone footage of the high country.

Thanks mate, drones make everything look amazing haha

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate

[@craigwillis3372]

Tunnel Bend is a diversion tunnel used for gold mining and built in 1884...its a magic part of the area! How they built this back in those days amazes me! You wouldn't be doing this trip at the moment as we have a large bush fire around Steiners Road and we have been blanketed in smoke for the last few days.Large fire with lots of aircraft flying over my farm with water and fire retardent! The Nissan RX looks great and its great to see a Nissan ( and not a Toyota or Ford etc) making light work of the tracks in my area. I love my STX as a regular vehicle and also when I go off road as it handles anything put in front of it! Enjoy the Great Ocean Road!

[@TylerThompson90]

Oh wow cool! Pretty amazing they built something like that so long ago. Yeah I have seen all the bush fire activity going on at the moment, not good at all!

[@TylerThompson90]

And yep Ive been super happy with the Nav, been an amazing off road vehicle

[@realaussiemale567]

Being a fellow Navara driver, I’m interested to know what make your front bar is and where u purchased it. Great vision and commentary 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Its an xrox bullbar from western australia :). You can order them online

[@David-my4jr]

Just gose to show you don't need to spend big bucks on your 4x4 to go and have a great time great video mate

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep can do most things with a basic set up

[@theenduropest]

🤘 killin it.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks!

[@shaqshuka8392]

The intro to this series gets me every time. Your editing skills and music choice just gets better with each vid! My son asked..."dad where do they do poo?" lol

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you! Slowly getting better at making the videos over time :). Haha we actually normally pass a toilet or two most days

[@beanfrankednow5391]

They block the comments because you put em to shame. Epic and awesome as always.

Hi mate What is your set up for food storage and water ect Tat would be a great know how Cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Hey mate, not too much of a set up, two boxes on the back seat that I keep food in, then all the cold stuff in the fridge in the back. And then water i keep in the tub, got a 20L bottle and 2 x 10L bottles. All super basic haha

[@dirtyoff-roadaustralian5525]

Tyler Thompson Yeh sounds like my set up it’s basic by easy enough I have a tub for pots pans cutlery plates ect another tub with caned food coffee biscuits sauces spices ect and the kings fridge that’s awesome left on over night never drained my battery No duel setup Water is a ten litre water drum and usually we get a 24 pack of bottled water sealed bags of meat freeze and usually stays frozen for a week or so if fridge is on minus2 Swags on top or tent and chairs and I take solar if we are stationary for the day or so

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah sounds good mate, keep everything basic and cheap haha thats all you need

[@1200cjh]

Your son has his own swag?

[@TylerThompson90]

Normally when its just us two he sleeps in the double with me but we had the extra swag for when Kayla met us for the great ocean road trip and he decided he wanted to use the second one that night haha

@@TylerThompson90 That makes sense, I thought Malachi might of gotten a swag for xmas! Can't wait for the ocean road vid.

[@jasgap]

Can you link those flares?

[@TylerThompson90]

They were just from super cheap auto mate, came in a packet with the rubber, screws and some steel plates to strengthen them, you just cut them yourself to shape. Or you can even get the same rubber from Clarke rubber and then get your own screws. They are just drilled in under the guard

[@bendethera1]

Thank you for sharing your trip with all of us, enjoyed all 6 parts so much. If your looking to do some research for next years High Country trip get in touch with members of 4WDtrip.com through one of the forums or review some old trip reports for destination ideas.

[@TylerThompson90]

Okay awesome, ill check it out! Thank you :)

[@NUCR3W]

Hey Tyler. Been following your channel for a little while now with great pleasure. Great content and always well presented. However, I must say that videos were a lot more enjoyable before you introduced ads in the middle of them. Getting audiences to give your videos thumbs up would actually help you a lot more than ads themselves, so maybe just remind people before each video ends to give your content 👍🏼 and to subscribe to your channel. Other than that, keep up the great work mate.

[@TylerThompson90]

Hey mate, cheers for watching and thanks for the feedback! So the ads and likes/subscribing are different things. Comments/likes - help the video get more traction on youtube as youtube will recommend the video to more people if its getting lots of likes/comments and also the longer watch time it has. So if i had a 20 minute video and the average watch time was 3 minutes youtube wouldn't recommend it to many people but if the average watch time is say 15 minutes they would recommend it to a lot more people. Ads - My videos are now 'monetised' so youtube puts ads at the start of my video and couple throughout. I do realise ads are annoying and most people don't like them but there isn't many and you can skip them most of the time after 5 seconds anyway. While I make videos because I love doing it, having my videos monetised allows me to make a little bit of money off them to put towards camera equipment/trips away etc. At the moment I'm putting about 20-25 hours a week into this hobby and I'm making about $100 a week back off youtube ads. Cheers!

[@steverx4460]

Where next? Billy goats bluff track? Son of a Bitch track?

[@TylerThompson90]

Hopefully another trip to the high country soon and take on some more tracks

[@mrpoopypants9586]

Great effort Tyler. Some of my favourite parts of the world. You've got some great filming and editing skills. Amazing amount of work to put it all together. Really nice to hear your views on the places visited and see the map laid out to show just where things are. (Helps to pinch ideas, too!) Definitely my favourite tube channel, look forward to all your stuff. I hope you can keep it up! Thanks for all the enjoyment and motivation! Cheers PP

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, thanks so much for the feedback and glad you're enjoying the videos :). Got plenty more videos to come
