Hey Mate the little fella might have some wicked names for you but what he doesn't realise is that you're building memories with him. What you don't realise is that you're building memories with your dad. He would be loving it. Good job!!

[@steiny3353]

Stuie's_ Adventures_4x4..My thoughts exactly. The young feller will be telling his grandchildren about all the great trips he had with his Dad...and Granddad.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@malindasabaratnam]

Best bit...."Dad! I need Help!" 😄. Good episode again mate.

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks!

[@sydneyraj]

Brings back memories! This is where my son and I learnt four wheel driving and recovery from John Cantrell of 'Australian 4x4 Driver Training'. Also drove around here with my workmate a few times. Thank you for your excellent presentation.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Its a great place out there, lots of tracks!

[@krump7429]

Great video. Man you and your dad are becoming the kings of ifs 4x4s off road. So controlled and enjoyable to watch, and you dont even have the "send it attitude". A certain other channel has now got a ifs 4x4 getting on the band wagon lol. But in everyones hearts you are the man when it comes to ifs and always will be number 1 lol.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@Ben3908ABC]

How chilled out is the little man when the rig is in a precarious situation. He remains cool, calm and collected - just the right skills needed for a 4 wheel driver!

[@tonymiller5841]

14:35 I went down that track 2 days ago. Had to wash me seat after it. There are little side tracks that seem like a good idea to stay out of those ruts but they dangerous after wet. We had two days of sun and yet on those chicken side tracks I almost lost my back - it started sliding sideways. Lucky me, I got out of it, but general advice - if you go down that thing, stay in ruts.

[@craigwillis3372]

Great trip mate Tyler...looking forward to your next adventure in the MIGHT NAVARA !! Thanks again !

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@explorethebush]

Another great episode thanks Tyler. The tracks looked steep and slippery in this one. You are nuts swimming up in the mountains in mid July!!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it 👌 Yep they were pretty cold 😂

[@scootermechanic8419]

Really enjoy your adventures with your little man and the old man. "Hey Dad need some help..." reminded me of my little man, "Hey dad....Hey Dad..." I haven't seen my little man in 7 months because of this covid crap. Can't wait to take him out touring and camping when i get home. Keep up the content, man i laugh at the out takes. Good work mate!!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Hopefully these lockdowns end soon 🤞

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha cheers mate 👌

[@mrcrankyank]

Bloopers are amazing 😂

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Mate great video and great bit of the country there, we’re regulars out around there. Some great camp sites and some very very hairy tracks indeed. We did that descent down to that awesome camp site a few weeks back however that big deep rut at the 8:17 point kinda point an end to our trip. My #zook unfortunately hasn’t quite got the wheel travel 😬 and I don’t like wheeling all day Saturday only to be driveway repairing all day Sunday 😆 so we cautiously backed up and hit some other tracks in there instead. Great video mate and keep up the great work 👍 Lithgow.......NSW’s answer to the VHC 👍👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it! Definitely plenty of interesting tracks out that way

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Tyler Thompson yeah it’s a great area to explore. Good stuff mate 👍

[@nooknook3953]

Dad's Dumb Decisions . merchandise coming soon haha. Those Olight's are awesome aye i have a few myself waiting for my pro2 in the mail .

[@Adsjabo]

Love the chat from the young fella mate. The Lithgow area is so beautiful, I just remember it as the Mcdonalds stop as a kid as we made the journey out to Molong from Sydney each year to see the grandparents. So impressed with the Navara also, capable truck and you're a well capable driver.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the feedback mate!

Thanks mate!

[@CaravaningaroundAustralia]

Excellent.

[@davidcowan1583]

That hill you winched up i had to winch it and i snapped my cv as well.

[@MatthewLancaster01]

That dampness on the mattresses is the moisture coming out of your body through breath and sweat, if you keep one side of your swag open it shouldn't be as bad.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah normally have one side all the way open but still seems to get heaps under it

[@MatthewLancaster01]

@@TylerThompson90 strange, could the floor have pin holes in it? Maybe try ya dads stretcher see if that helps.

Too funny your son trying to talk some sense into you😆 Great vid

[@masonryan5139]

Hey Tyler what size tyres did you run on the stocko rims?

[@gh4wd]

Great video Tyler & a nice part of the world. The place you camped at 6:50 is the site of the old convict stockade, Mt Walker is the highest mountain in the background of this painting...www.sl.nsw.gov.au/collection-items/convict-stockade-coxs-river-crossing-near-hartley

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Oh cool, good to know a little bit of history

[@roykumar2701]

How is the drone footage done mate? You doing it while driving or someone else?

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep doing while driving

[@techead18]

That camp spot at 7:54 Was the track super hard or do they have chicken tracks?

[@TylerThompson90]

The obstacles you saw on the way to that camp after I tried to get up Mount Walker, that's the easiest way in

[@mikehzz9848]

The last steep track down at Lidsdale looked like Firetruck Hill?

[@TylerThompson90]

Hmm yeah pretty sure that's the one

[@seraichc2143]

Did you guys get your rock sliders shipped from ScFabworks?

[@TylerThompson90]

Dad got his from them and shipped, I have mech fab industry rock sliders

[@dguanz]

Has the MUX ever broke anything ? does he carry spare parts ? =)

[@TylerThompson90]

Doesn't carry any spare parts. The only thing that has ever broken is the front diff blew up on a bad hill climb back in the cars early days.

[@jamesbarry9795]

Where is the coldest water you have been in.

[@TylerThompson90]

Maybe some of the creeks in Tassie

[@jamesbarry9795]

Tyler Thompson I agree being a Tassie lad

[@realaussiemale567]

You’re so very lucky! I’m stuck in the communist state of Victoriastan, where we can’t travel more than 5k’s from home, exercise for more than 1hr per day, and can’t be out after 8pm to 5am.

[@TylerThompson90]

Hoping these lockdowns end soon 🤞

I’ve been waiting 4 weeks for the winching down a hill only to not see it again. Love the channel but stop teasing us.
