theses are the vids i like the most back to grass roots where u started from exploring and showing us the great tracks and bush around us

[@CraigAlexander-m9l]

Yeah it’s exactly what I want to see. Everybody seen hard-core four-wheel-drive before it’s only really good for the driver. It’s like watching drifting boring as hell to watch fun as hell to do and it is his page and he’s trying to have fun so that’s what he’s doing.

[@DailyGrindAus]

Great to see a family getaway to some beautiful spots.

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ianweal3081]

Background music was the perfect choice for this totally relaxed clip with family. Congrats, Wealie.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@gridoo]

@@TylerThompson90 Loving all the Coldplay songs. Hope KZbin does not mute the video for copywrite.

[@TylerThompson90]

@@gridoo Nah I paid for them so all good, I use a website now where you can buy mainstream songs to use in videos. Have to pay per song per video

@@TylerThompson90 Awesome

[@kidsportmac]

Thanks for showing us around! I've been to a few spots over the years, but there are still many I haven't explored yet. I'm definitely not a full off-road driver though! I got turned around coming back from Old Bottlebutt - not sure which scenic route I ended up on, but I had to backtrack to get out - it was exciting and scary all at the same time! I definitely prefer adventuring as a family though - my sense of direction is shocking, so I need all the support I can get, haha!

[@tbillington]

Good to see the return of the map. This one felt like one of the old videos in the black nav.

[@petergill8819]

I can’t believe I haven’t been out there. That is so beautiful when I get my cruiser finished. I’m heading there and yes, the rain it is peaceful specially when you’re in the rainforest that scar will always remind you of that trip.

Always carry super glue in 1st aid kit. Helps alot in situations like that. Glad it wasn't any worse.

[@RustyCandyAdventures]

Hi tyler family. I been ill. I caught something, but my heart thought there was no blood. So it made and retained fuild. After testing, my heart was in good condition, but now weaker muscle. So from this, keep an eye on your ankles and stock asprine in your first aid box. Heart specialist says it's a good idea.

[@MattsPhotographyAU]

Some great spots there. Good to see you driving the tracks, only way to keep them from disappearing, the lantana is pretty savage in there 😂 Hope the wound on the head heals up alright, great video again mate!

Hey Tyler put some butterfly bandages in your first aid kit works really well on wounds like that.

Thinking of that walk away from the vehicle down to the swim spot and then your fall, do you carry a PLB ? I enjoyed this video, back to where you started with the black Nav and Garry in the MUX. Cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yeah I carry a PLB, satelite texter and first aid kit. All were up at the car though 😅

[@stevens.2574]

Gee I miss my gu tb48, sold it a few months ago watching this video thinking I'll never do tracks like that in my new y62. Great video as usual mate.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah we love our TB48!

[@grahameroberts8109]

When you arrive at camp, set your watches etc to the ‘daylight saving time’. Remember to change back mid morning of the day of departure.

[@mmorgz6622]

your selection of music was on point with this ep. wth... when you showed where the car was parked and said you were walking down the river, i though "what would happen if you fell over and hurt yourselves so far from the car"...... then that... i likes demis first bandaid. little white X like a cartoon or comic 😅

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha chers mate!

[@maverick2242]

Another wikid trip with the family mate🤘 Looks like ya left the other kids at home, Burto 🤣 Re the river floods, personally don't have a problem, its part of it, different countries locations, area conditions etc vary dramatically! You are a very experienced camper, while experience can work for you and against you no matter how much you don't or do have! Its about respect for what nature can do, there are signs which you know clearly, its about perspective, mate you are out there doing it not sitting on a couch and judging at the end of the day that's all that matters! I have camped on rivers for years and had close calls, even as recently over Xmas time, me and the dog drove up a stream a couple kms to a secret spot of mine in a high country pass, weather was stunning, it changed 2nd night, I kept my eye on it the stream became a fast flowing river, my camp was never in danger as it was a few meters above the river bed, I watched it for a few hour's while it changed color from deep clear blue to blood red. I ended up bugging out, as the rain showed no sing of abating, in fact it just came down harder, the raging water in the stream was 2-3 ft deeper than when I went in and about 50+ m wider depending on the course back down stream from the pass and where it widened out, I got out no issue, I camped up the hill a few ks away, came back the next day and the flood was back to a clear stream, so I drove up and down to wash mud off the truck, moral is I could have stayed and camped for days no issue, if not for places to be later that week, I would of stayed, but I played it safe! Plus I was one vehicle, in case something did go wrong more with the vehicle I was out of cell coverage alone and know one knew where I was, which is how I like it, so took the smart option that time. ' Point is you guys no what ya doing, every decision is a step away from a good one or a bad one in life, no risk no reward! Just make the best decisions you can, so keep camping by the river is what I am trying to say. Fire can burn, but we have used fire for thousands of years! 🤘 Keep up the great content, living the dream mate, making memories with the family 💯🤟

[@TylerThompson90]

Appreciate it mate!

[@63holden]

Tell the truth mate you answered back once too often. 😂 Magical video ❤

[@garethraven3933]

Another great trip away, I see you left the older kids at home Burto wouldn't be happy about that but I'm sure Kai would be able to send him to his room if he has a tantrum 🤣😂🤣😂. Demi you need to show us how you got that 6 pack set of abs. Zephyr is such a mini Tyler playing with trucks all day lighting fire's he's awesome little man.

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks mate!

[@4wdtennessee459]

Last Monday I got my head also but I had to get 5 stitches to close a 2 inch long cut almost to the bone. Now that one of mine was a waterfall of red.

Went to the punch bowl two days ago and there was a 8m cubed rock blocking the track there. But other than that great place to go to. Love the content

Did you resolve the acceleration or surging issue with the GU? What caused it?

[@TylerThompson90]

Nah we never did haha, it does it randomly here and there still. We think its an issue with the factory settings/computer on the TB48 so would have to be sorted out by a tuner

What's the go with the Coldplay? Wont you get a copyright strike?

[@jacobboyd1053]

I wish some creators would actually show how to get to these tracks or atleast where they are or something I understand it would make things abit busier but is the whole Point of showing these videos to show us where we can go and whats possible? Id love to go to where this video is but how do i get there?

@@TylerThompson90 well dont i look like a dickhead now 😂 i honestly watched the video 3 times to try and figure it out and missed the map everytime.

Don't like or comment on the hardcore trips. We do not own a next level down comp truck.
