SANDY CAPE - TASMANIA 4WD TRIP 2020

[@TylerThompson90]

Hello! Welcome to the first episode of the Tassie series, to be honest this episode was a little slow, nothing too much happened as we spend the first couple of days our trip taking it a little bit easier. But still wanted to give everyone a tour of the spectacular Sandy Cape :) things definitely start to get more interesting as the trip goes on. Ill be aiming to release a new video every Sunday, part 2 + 3 are already up on Patreon - patreon.com/tylerthompson Schedule: Part 1 - Sandy Cape Part 2 - Balfour Track Part 3 - Climies Track Part 4 - Ring River and Montezuma Falls Part 5 - Lake Cumberland And then I'm still working out the rest, should be 9-10 episodes in total. Enjoy!

[@krump7429]

You may not have followers yet, but you produce way better content than the bigger channels. Your videos take priority viewing on a sunday. Keen to see what else you have instore.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it and glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@matthutch5919]

Yer rather staggering he hasn't got 200K + follows. EVERY video has seriously great content & 100% well worth waiting for.

[@Haywoodjablomie100]

3 generations of boys on an epic adventure, it don't get much better then that!

[@TylerThompson90]

For sure! :)

[@gqwarrior6694]

Sweet. Everyone releases wheeling vids on Sunday morning. You're the first one to watch though. Great work Tyler. Looking forward to the rest of the series 👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback :)

[@tclvlogs2848]

Love seeing mainlanders come enjoy my homeland as much as I do! Lucky to live here

[@gqwarrior6694]

You sure are. Visited a few times with my old man on trout fishing trips when I was young & living in Victoria. Now I'm much older, living in WA & trying to work out to get back to Tassie for a month holiday in the next couple of years. Absolutely stunning part of the world.

[@TylerThompson90]

Such an amazing place down there, already keen to get back!

[@MitchMiller123]

Fabulous footage. We’ve been touring tassie for the last 2 months and just love seeing more of these remote places. Such beautiful country and hardly anyone there. Really enjoy watching your uploads, look forward to part 2.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you! Sure is an amazing place down in Tassie

[@gameuck17]

Great start to to series. A real trip that is achievable by the regular Joe. No over the top rigs and support vehicles. Can't wait to see the rest of the trip. Great setup and info on getting there. Keep up the great work.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it :)

[@richardwalsh5570]

West Coast sunsets are mint mate. We spend a lot of time at Jack Smith's just before the Cape Beach. Great diving and surfing

[@unproadventures4142]

Finally got time to sit down and watch Another great vid mate Looking forward to the rest of the series 👌

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@terriann3999]

Fabulous filming. glad you love our peace of paradise. You camped near JacknSmiths where I grew up most weekends and now we currently.have a shack now at Arthur River. Enjoyed watching

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, awesome area down there!

[@herbertefox6000]

Bloody Awesome stuff mate, really this is cool can't wait for the other videos 👍👍👍⛺🐾🔥

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you :)

[@visualjon]

Those Cube Lights from Drifta are cool as. And the whale bones on the log. I've seen a boat load of Tassie vlogs and yours always show something fresh. Hard when you've only got a terabyte of footage to work with.

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep they sure are! Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed them 👌

[@eg6sivtec]

I would bet that one day, your son will follow you in his own 4x4! Keep up sharing your beautiful adventures!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you! Hopefully will one day 👌

[@philipw7557]

Another great video Tyler. Last time I was inTassie was around 40 odd years ago. Still beautiful 👍😎🇳🇿

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Great place down there :)

[@gregmuehlbacher9683]

I may be a little late to the party, but I love your videos. It’s great seeing Kai grow up and get a little more ‘screen’ time. I’m hoping he can add a little more from a kids point of view. Keep up the great work 👍🏼.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@andrewstevens2866]

Tremendous videos! So glad you and family enjoyed visiting Tasmania.

Great first episode mate, weather looked awesome! Seriously, where is Kayla going to fit? The MUX? 🤣🤣 I reckon your old man is loving life going on these trips. Top work champ!!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Was a bit of a tight squeeze. Gave some of my luggage to dad haha

[@Scott-YouTubeAddict]

Hey Tyler - Seen all your vids and they just keep getting better and am really looking forward to the next one. Any chance u can make the music volume level closer to the same as the voice volume though.

[@TylerThompson90]

Hey mate, thank you! Yep I'm always trying but really hard to do, it changes from song to song and then seems to also come out different for people depending on their tv, laptop etc. I brought the volume on the first song in this video down to about 60% and then to second to 50%. Ill keep trying to make everything as even as possible haha

[@shaunmccaw2911]

Your channel just keeps getting better and better mate 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it :)

[@PachezZ]

Found your channel just yesterday, looking for ideas for my 10th scale jimny... man you really deserve more subscribers :) awesome content, thanks for that :)

[@TylerThompson90]

Awesome, thank you!

[@DailyGrindAus]

I have to agree the production values and content are top notch. I like the low-key approach and the family aspect is great too. I've been watching for just over a year and I have to agree, you are mixing it with the big boys. I enjoy watching 4WD action, but it is becoming more and more a long commercial punctuated by action and hype. You just get in there and get on with it and you have great driving skills.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, greatly appreciate the feedback and glad you're enjoying the videos :)

[@spartanptbungendore8627]

Spectacular mate. Very, very enjoyable to watch.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! :)

[@matttaylor4807]

We’ve just done these tracks this week, awesome! Climies is the best!

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep we loved Climies! That will be in part three :)

[@kainebarker4185]

Great family trip so far, looking forward to ep 2 👍🏼

[@ThomasDavenport1]

Awesome work! really nice vid, production value going through the roof!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you! :)

[@baumie4618]

Mate great video as usual! Like the way you give details on the trip like prices and track directions..... Hey, like you, I've got no idea on how to change a CV! I drive a Nissan Patrol Y62 so kinda important being independent all round!😃 I've heard people talking about grinding them out to get out of trouble.....maybe you could do a video on how to do this please? 👍

[@krump7429]

Just cut the "shaft" in half dividing it. Then cable tie it out the way to stop it hitting on things. Once its disconnected from the wheel it wont turn. You can also use manual locking hubs to do the same thing, or on some vehicles you can remove the hub locking plate which stops the cv turning too. But then your exposing the front componants to water and dust ingress. Being you have a patrol i doubt you will break a cv 💪😉😂

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! I've never actually done it but yeah just cutting it in half to its not turning into the diff with the wheels. If i break one on the tracks then you'll me attempting to do it haha

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Good one mate, can't wait for part 2. Cheers steve

Thank you! :)

[@boomba361]

The range on that drone is impressive. How far is it? Another quality video. Standing by for the next one.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! If you have a direct line of sight with the drone then you can normally get a good 1KM out of it which is plenty

[@stevekeenes4030]

Love ya work mate.. hope to see you around the traps soon..

[@johnludlow1991]

Love the video's Tyler - just watched all your High Country ones and they were super helpful ahead of my trip to get to know what to expect. Could you please please tell me the name of the song at the intro to this? I can find it anywhere (I know its Elenore by the Turtles but don't know who sings this cover)

[@budget4wheeling641]

Hey Tyler, Great video again. Next time your down near Sydney, we can show you a few ways to change or remove those CVs

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! I was actually thinking of filming a video of it for youtube with my mechanic and then id also know how to do it too haha

[@budget4wheeling641]

@@TylerThompson90 as a mechanic I'd recommend that. Also get him to show you h ow to do it on the ground and not a hoist, plus how to refill the front diff out on the tracks. Good luck with it. Gavin

[@TassieTroutGuy]

Love your videos Tyler. Question for you; did either of you have any issues with punctures during your Tassie trip? If so, which tracks were most tyre unfriendly? Cheers

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Nope never had any punctures the whole trip

Really great job putting these vids together, they are very well done.....looking forward to the rest of Tassie. You mentioned you were a teacher, what subjects ,not audio video related ?

[@the510wagon]

How much do those tyres (285/75/16??) rub & scrub at the front? Doesn't look like you've done a body lift? Did you have to cut/remove mudguards/fender liners etc etc??

[@TylerThompson90]

no body lift, no cutting required, 33's fit on a 2 inch lift with adjustable upper control arms

[@markjones8704]

Nice one mate, thanks for sharing I’ve never explored that side of Tassie, but will definitely need to add it in for our next trip. Which model of drone are you using the quality is amazing👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Its a DJI mavic air

[@nigelstiles5007]

What an awesome place with awesome conditions mate. Great footage as usual , looking forward to what’s next.👍 What solar blanket are you using and what are your thoughts mate ?

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Sure was a top spot. Using the 'Safiery Global' 250 Watt solar blanket, works super well and all runs off an app on your phone so can see everything thats going on

[@manta6095]

great episodes man, can you do a review on the Nitto tyres? please

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Yep I can try do one, I don't really know what I'm talking about though haha

[@ywork4sam148]

Ripping episode mate. 👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@adventure5150]

Always wondered how the Drone follows you on those high shots when your driving on a track or the beach. Does the drone have a “follow me” mode or are you controlling it while driving?

[@silvrsentinel7671]

You drag a rectangle over the item that displays on the screen on your phone and it locks the drone onto that object, person/vehicle. Once locked you just get in your car and it will follow the car as you drive. You have to get out and land it manually though otherwise the drone will go back to the position it took off from. It's a lot of work setting it up and then getting in then out of the car to land. Usually, it's done by a whole film crew. Respect to Tyler for doing it all himself - Mavic Drones

[@4bnewb969]

Silvrsentinel7 thanks for the explanation - it was something I was wondering about also

[@swbpajlife]

Hey Tyler, how do you drone and drive, is it a gps follow setting or something?

[@TylerThompson90]

Normally just drive and fly it at the same time mate

[@Fernweh4x4andadventure]

EPIC!! 🤯

[@philfoote829]

So good

[@alanyesilipek7959]

are thay reliable ? how many K's could l look to get out of it before an engine problem ? my 2008 D40 navara blew 2 engines at around 100 thousand KM and then had a majör electircal problem with its computer. so lm terrified of buying a nother navara now. and l hardly ever used that car off road and never towed anything with it.

[@TylerThompson90]

The newer model Navara's seem to be a lot more reliable then the older D40's from what Ive heard. Not really sure how many km's you'd get out of them though. Mines been pretty good
