[@fatmanoverlanding]

Good call Pat. Irrespective on what track it is, if you're not comfortable, best decision is to not do it. And anyone who gives someone a hard time for turning back aren't the people you want to be with when 4WDing. Remember, you also need your vehicles to take you back home. Maybe it's time to rethink your current rig setup if you're going to do more hard wheeling moving forward. From a tourer to a wheeler. Put the 80 on a strict diet. 😁

[@leonardpersin4255]

Don’t get sucked into smashing up your cars just to make content 👍🏻 onya boys love all your content

[@boomer_bob6493]

Good that you took the wise decision. The sad part is I grew up nearby, and we used to drive those tracks in cars and trucks for work cutting timber for pit props for the local underground mines. So, in a way, it makes me sad to see those tracks in the conditions they are , and makes me feel for the rural fire services that have to try and negotiate when called upon .

[@HammerRocks]

I know exactly where you were on your first night camp at the Watagans. I too have camped there and the view never gets old. But sadly I always find rubbish left behind by campers with bad behaviour. It baffles me that it still happens in this day and age. Rarely do I camp these days without cleaning up rubbish left by others. ☹☹

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Yeah, I too know that camp site, and on weekdays, it's almost a guarantee that no one else will be there. And sadly I too have arrived seeing rubbish left behind, or bottles/cans in the firepit. Truly disappointing behaviour by others.

Any chance you'd hint to where to get to it? I've kind of figured out the rough ridge line of where it must be on but I've never been on that side of the wattos only ever gone in near martinsville so I'd love to find a camp on the cliff like this

Excellent. Good to see Tony on here and shows what you have to pay to play. Impressed with the 80, Patrick and how you tackled the bumps. The views over your Newcastle were amazing. Great content and a few scrapes for memories and next episodes. Thanks!

[@RobertsAdventure]

Cool to see Tony over here. Good on you for feeling like you could bail out when needed, one of the things I like about this channel is it's not over the top. Cool way to level up skills but there's plenty of other tough tracks channels out there breaking shit.

[@JohnHover-g9x]

Great experience for you guys as it really highlights your rigs limitations and knowing when to turn around. Great lessons to be learned here. Paddy, your old girl needs a diet and sorry about the panel damage. It is gut wrenching when it happens.

[@gregbishop610]

The boys will learn more with that type of help good job

[@dustyfarmer]

With that circlip that came off the Warn 8274 shaft. Circlips are directional & the sharp side of the circlip should go to the side you don't want it to push off. If you look closely at them one side is rounded edges one side is sharp edged. There is a mod for that shaft that stops that from happening.

[@frmtrkr]

guys,awesome views and scenery again.some pretty rugged tracks out there. cool to see you trying more difficult stuff,and learning as you go. as liam said nothing wrong with taking chicken track,or changing plans. discretion is the better side f valor. i can honestly say there are tracks i would not even consider.paddy wasnt going to let them hills beat him and i laughed when liam said, paddy is angry. a little car damage is better than injury keep safe.again an awesome video.👍

[@peteroakley8283]

How did you like them wheel lifts on Wishing Well. It’s my fav part of that ‘warm up’ track. Green Break is possible - just go along the side track at the beginning and the rest is heaps of fun. Good on you guys for taking on the Watagans.

[@patelliott8724]

I love the Watagans, it's my go to place. My previous two 4wds (96 Jackaroo and 02 Hilux) got me through these tracks but I'm now willing to risk my 2012 Colorado on the tough tracks! There are so many tracks to choose from that suit whatever you drive! I still get out there and enjoy just exploring and enjoy the scenery. There are plenty of places to enjoy camping overnight, some with incredible views or secluded subtropical rainforest. The great part is that they aren't too far from my home!

[@erinlackey9758]

Yo I'm heading to the wattagans soon for my second time! Would you happen to know of any good cliff camps you'd be happy to hint at or tell me where to find something like that?

[@brucebaxter6923]

Hey. Great show as usual. Lots of shots of my home in that video.

[@brucebaxter6923]

Yep. The wattigans has two levels, tourist and 37” double locked. The locals destroy tracks and vehicles real fast. The tourists I often go up the hill and rescue them. Funniest one was a new Subaru forester with the headlights underwater.

[@KarlEller]

Yeah, the Wattigans is close to me, but I honestly haven't spent a lot of time there because everything is either graded fire trails, or completely chewed up comp tracks, there's very few regular difficulty tracks. I remember when Green Break Road WAS a beginner track, and the hardest part was getting over the log at the start, now look at it.

[@brucebaxter6923]

@@KarlEller yep and behind the hospital is just as bad, wombat holes, wash always you can stand in the bottom of or deep mud pits. There are a couple of tracks between the wattigans and my sugarloaf that I’ve taken the bike through but won’t try by myself.

[@ianweal3081]

100% agree. Guy's, you've let down a majority of your viewers I feel, viewers wanting that crap can tune into 24/7. Guy's, you have to ask, 1. Do I really need to go there? 2. Is my vehicle capable of it? 3. Am I capable of it? Screw the embarrassment!! Answer to 1st question was obviously "NO", as no reason to continue. If the obstacle was amidst a must do trail to get to a destination, then question 2 comes into play etc. I've a capable GU tourer set up but I also have the desire to reliably drive it day in & day out, as you guys should be considering as you first priority being so far from home. I'm not a whowser, I've had my fun but not in my every day tourer, had a purpose built Zook for difficult play, easily recovered if all failed, however always drove it out, often with smirks on our dials, haha. Looking forward to your more reserved approach in future episodes. Regards, Wealie.
