Great video, Gav. I'll have to remember that smoke follows beauty 🤣😂🤣😂.

Loved this one too.. the Troopy looked in fine form, the water crossings were pretty cool and the time lapse of the stars was nothing but amazing, I was all most certain you were going to hook a fish for a minute there 🎣 Hang in there hopefully next time, I can’t wait to order some of your new merch it looks really good🍻👍🏼

Love it when you roam around this area, always fantastic views, great camp spots and your favourite hut at Dogmans! Wheelers Creek Hut is a bloody cracking hut, so glad they fully replicated the old one that was burned out.

I know that route very well. When they say “closed” for the Pinnibar track, I believe it. I’d love to see what that hectic section looks like now, but 10 months on from when we were there. Going up to Gibbo is awesome, going down from it…not so much. Those washouts are a test. We’re heading back out that way in March. Who knows, our paths may cross. Thanks for sharing this. Loved the ep.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@AroundTheNextCorner yeah and I live this region, I normally head up after the closures open up to try capture the tracks. But it was good to drive other tracks in the area in the next video. I’ll be up on the GC for my daughter’s wedding in March. Bit of luck the tracks have opened back up for you. I’ve stepped away from KZbin for a while to assist my mum whose health is failing her. So might have to wait till after March sometime before you’ll see me out in the tracks again. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Hope ya have a great Xmas. 👍🏼

@@neil2402 yeah, I get that Neil 🤦🏽. It was more to drive the Pinnibar sections of track that were rutted out from before the seasonal closures, but they were closed still. I always drive this track straight after the closures, gives people a good look at the track conditions. The next episode I have to drive tracks I haven’t before due to these closures which was a good change for me. I’ll do the same thing next year if I’m still up at Snowy 2.0.

[@mort8143]

Beautiful country. Far enough into the scrub to deter most dickheads, one hopes. The Murray, or Swampy Plains (?) river is much more a mountain stream there, not what you'd see at Echuca. The Troopy' looks like it's had a polish? Pretty spiffy. Sleeping near a babbling stream is bliss, but the sound of those fat brown trout laughing at you must be horrible. That Buckwong river looks it'd hold some good fish? Glad you had a good getaway from Snowy 2. 😀🇦🇺👍

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Thanks @@mort8143 . Surprisingly how quiet it is up there, even in peak season, you can go there on a weekend and not see hardly anyone. Spent a few hours on Swampy Plain before deciding that I need 2 good days to capture the content I wanted so went to Tom Groggin instead. The trout are definitely laughing at me, that’s for sure. But to my defence there was many fish landed that whole trip by anyone I spoke to apart from Mitch. Unsure why the troopy was looking so clean 🤷🏼‍♂️… maybe it just knew it was its time to shine as the tracks were finally open again. 🤣👌 Thanks mate for the support you show the channel. 👍🏼

@@robertjennings9584 mine are sort on in the inner thigh, but I only get them on the one leg.

[@robertjennings9584]

@ I get it in both legs in the back of your legs from your butt down to the back of your knee joint if the cramp is in your calf you can bend your foot up and get rid of it but in top half of your leg I’m bent over like a safety pin doing the splits till it gone and you don’t want to try and straighten up cause the barstard try’s to grab you again😂I think I need to drink more water .Love your videos I’ve been watching your treks for a while I’m in Sydney love to get down to the Vic high country looks great

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@ nothing worse then a cramp 🤦🏽. When I get them at night when I’m a work in my room ( paper thin walls ) I use a cold bottle of water in the area. They tend to go away, that’s why I think mine are vascular. When I’m on the tracks I just swallow handfuls of salt !! 🤦🏽🤣

Mate you sure know how to make the trip home from work special! Has to be the greatest way to de-stress and leave it all behind. If you haven't made it up to Lithgow to see the boys yet, make sure you pull in at Dam Cliffs. It's just off Bells Line of Road in Clarence just before you go over the hill to Lithgow. I used to jump off of that cliff when I was a kid, you'll see it in the pic if you look it up. Not a bad swimming hole to drop into if your on Bells line and its hot as all buggery 😂 Tell you what its been tough catching up on your vids lately, you wouldn't believe how busy Ive been 😂 and Ive got no wifi in me bloody room! Love it as always mate! Im still on the edge of my seat every time you throw that lure in! You'll catch one soon! 😁

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@SamsHuntandCook only way to get back into normal life is a trip on the way home. I’ve been struggling of late now that I’ve stepped back again from KZbin.

I’m not a fan of jumping from heights these days, I reckon my bones would be to fragile !🤦🏽🤷🏼‍♂️🤣 No wifi. That’s a stop work straight there. Bugger that. Atleast the crickets been on I’m guessing I hear ya about being busy Sam, it’s hard to stay on top of things at the moment.

@aguyandhistroopy No better way to make the trip mate, at least you get to wind down on the way. I've gotta deal with all the knuckle heads on the hume, ahaha. Sometimes, a little reset's a good idea. I find that after a break from my interests/hobbies, I tend to come back stronger 💪🏼. Yeah, to be honest, I probably dont have many years left doing that kind of thing. I'll probably break something somehow 💁🏼‍♂️😅 Yeah, the wifi made it a bit rough at the start, and finishing off my last video was a chore trying to upload it. The tech team is on the case, though 😉 Well mate, I hope you find some time to wind down amoungst the complexities of life and dont start your year off feeling the weight too hard 🙏🏻 Unfortunately, as lame as it sounds, I didn't even have a beer. Just went to the gym and then off to bed. So sad ahah

Whoops, I'm late, but I just bought a OLED for the shed and I had to do the vid justice, and it did. The time lapses looked amazing mate. There are trout in there. I've caught them and bigger than old mate got. I spent my long service leave back in the late 80's fishing from there (down to Khancoban hiking/fly fishing, in and along, in my youthful days), and got a feed every night. Can't see it being any different now, it's just technique. I am going to send you a "BobbyB guaranteed trout catching parcel" and will get a mailing address off insta when next we chat.

Cheers @@Bergo101 🍻 Honestly it’s probably the perfect vehicle for touring around Australia in my opinion. You can do so much with them, personally if I was going to tour for a year or so I’d get a roof top conversions done. Comfort depends on which model you purchase. Coil fronts will help with the ride, can put parabolics in the back for improved ride. I can’t comment on the ride to much as it’s an old 75 series, put I have parabolic’s all round, remote res shocks and aftermarket seats, but no sway bar so it flexes better on the tracks but makes it a bit of a boat in the open roads. What year you looking at purchasing Bergo?

Interesting that people are afraid of losing their freedom with a national park, and your pushing against it too a but looking at what you did in this episode (free camped, fished, 4wd) all within a NP, looks pretty good to me!

@@beardmoto it’s not that we are afraid of losing our freedom in the National Parks, it’s more what we will lose if the State Forests becomes NP’s. Eg… no firewood collection, no dogs, no hunting, no prospecting, no horses, restricted tracks, more gates, and one big tinder box on our back door step. That’s our biggest issues, VIc Gov cut the NP’s Vic work force by 100 or so ground workers who are all regional, now cut 70 mil from the CFA, guessing you no what that stands for? So with no logging in Vic any more it’s looking like it’s going to be a bad year, if not this one we’ll watch out for the next one. That’s the main reasons we don’t want more NP’s, as they can’t maintain what they already have! Hope that all makes sense mate? Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment 👍🏼

Really well said 🤙​@@aguyandhistroopy

All youve got to do is see what the NSW governments have done with the same. Why is Kosciuszko NP almost double the price to enter for an annual pass? Or just for a day trip? They have so much more control and generate more revenue if a NP and take away so many freedoms. In addition to that, there's clauses they must give a % of land to Aboriginal Land Council each year. There's more than meets the eye deep down

@@aguyandhistroopy regarding the restrictions in NP, a lot of the ‘against NP’ folk are also claiming camping, 4wding, fishing (comes under hunting really), along with what you’ve mentioned will be restricted. I beg to differ on these topics as your vid clearly shows yourself enjoying these activities all within the alpine NP. I do agree on your concerns of future fire management though. Not sure on what the correct answer is tbh.

Australia used to be good to camp, but every god damn place you go there's other people now Damn shame

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@666dualsport I don’t reckon I’d rather live anywhere else in the world… yes it can get busy, but the more remote - harder you go the less people are there. Sometimes you just got to take the good with the bad… few beers and a laugh around the fire is normally the means of a good night in my opinion. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment mate ! 👍🏼
