Thank you

[@jonathanwoods9276]

Happy Easter to you yours 🐣👍

[@terry8728]

Happy Easter to you and your family Levi!

[@leecoates6524]

i wouldn't tell anyone if i saw a tiger but i would return time and time again to enjoy them for myself and will we see you return to explore that area for gold lots of bed rock in this video upload

[@geoffreykempsonyowie3278]

The Footprints are Wild, You got more than anybody for a Long time !!!😮

[@ambiguousworld]

It's a nice video isn't it.

[@Rob.Parsons]

Great job lad loved watching this through your lens. Can’t wait till you finally spill the beans about what you saw that night back at the creek. 😏

[@thezurban7209]

Now that sounds like a story we need to hear.

[@forrestmichnevich7371]

Sasquatch shit? I suppose you call em yowies though.

[@laurafoster297]

He saw a premonition of three lads dying of thirst a few ks away if he didnt return soon with those water bottles 😂 team player award goes to Levi, I hope someone presented him with a laminated certificate of recognition 🥰

[@trueaussieray9093]

The Old Timers Smelled like Old Timers.. (of the land) most likely why the tiger's would come into camp. You guys smell of new worldly sents.. having a party in front of your camera traps before setting them for the night is where you're going wrong... sent is a huge part of hunting..

[@Heather-xz3eo]

My Mum saw that last one in captivity .... and my Dad who was an old bushie .... reckoned there were Tigers in the bush up the back of Flowerdale farms in the North West, not far from where we lived .... these old fellas were pretty onto it back then ... Been on the Pieman with my Dad a few times back in the 60s ... our families have been in the region for 4 generations

[@-O-_-0-]

Epic! You need to go back, right? Them tracks will forever haunt you if you don't

[@tassiegirl50]

Crayfish 🦞 dinner!!! Camping doesn’t get better than that, cute wombats.. gorgeous sunsets 🌅 Levi to the rescue 🩵 thanks for the water…. 💦

[@marko1025]

My gut feeling says there’s definitely Tassie tigers alive . Luv the footage and content . Brilliant stuff boys . Thank you 🇦🇺✊🏻

[@christophera556]

I would say the thylacine is extinct the so called modern day photos are obviously digitally edited to look like the original Tasmanian tiger ,back in the days of film a photographer with the right skills in the late 20th century could produce a photo to look like a original tassie tiger .The thing is no one has managed to catch one for over eighty years the last one shot in the wild was back 1932 and the last one died in a zoo in 1936.So I reckon they are extinct.

[@Tasmanaut]

they do exist

[@christophera556]

@Tasmanaut they only exist in the minds of those who won't accept scientific fact ,that is the Thylcean or tassie tiger is extinct .People can go on photo shopping their photos all they like it won't change the reality that these animals are extinct.

[@jasethejewman]

You'll see one when you least expect it some day.... they still around mate in no way are they wiped out with so much land that was unexplored.... Good adventure....

[@dartmart9263]

I have no idea what it’s like to camp and relax, without having to worry about bears, mountain lions, giant wild boars or territorial alligators. But, then again, you do have some scary snakes. LOL

[@FreedomTruthBoldness]

Levi, your vids really are quality and entertaining and adventurous . Thank you, from Utah USA

[@SuperLaplander]

What a great adventure Levi& friends. Thank you for all the hardship you endure for your audience!

[@tassiegirl50]

Georgeous trip to watch.. tough to do! Especially those log & rock jams 🪵!! Poor Kurt… poor Levi carrying extra pack!! Test of endurance. Wow those sand dunes meeting the river, spectacular. Beautiful country… thanks fellas, great job Levi .. amazing trip 👍🏻💚🌿

[@chaosstate4491]

You really have made this Easter special Levi. Thankyou

[@philjohnston7920]

just a little FYI. David Fleay Wildlife Park is a heritage-listed wildlife park at Fleays Wildlife Park Conservation Park, Tallebudgera Creek Road, Tallebudgera, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1952 to 1983. It is also known as Fleays Wildlife Park. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 23 February 2001

[@shanemiller667]

I really enjoyed this- I'm a cripple atm until i get a hip replacement so i enjoy the vicarious living i get from your adventures- thankyou

[@dfox344]

Both you and Rob are in extremely great shape. Obviously, you two achieve that through prospecting. Conditioning well before this type of exploration is a must. Thank you for sharing your time. Happy Easter.

[@richardthart5901]

Levi, love your videos. Just an idea. I always take a few Rehydration Sachets with me. Just add water. It's a trick I learned in PNG when we had a few episodes of similar events. They work faster than the Magnesium and contain a wider range of essential minerals than the old mag tablets. Kurt might have benefited from taking one these.

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Thanks for the heads up mate will do in future 👍🏼

[@DebCheekyProspector]

Fantastic video- now I’m dying of curiosity-- if you saw something when you went for water, it’d be awesome news

[@VistaViews]

For the record… if you leave bacon out at night, you might lure me in for a trail cam photo 😂. Also HOLY HELL that crayfish is literally the size of a lobster! Damn… now im hungrier than ever 😅

[@S2yay]

They are actually lobsters, we just call them crayfish in Australia

[@dsmith9103]

Weird you lost 2 cameras, especially out there in the middle of nowhere

[@cisco6926]

That looks like the one of the most difficult treks ever! For the love of the Thylacine, this journey brings both joy and sadness. Hope springs eternal! This is your best episode yet. An Amazing adventure

[@rooskohn8990]

Look in the mirror Levi. The tiger is there🙏🐣 Happy Easter

[@N1XVAN]

So glad i watched this after Robs, great adventure

[@roberthine7071]

A Yowie took your cameras. And the the Tassie tiger was alive and well 17 years ago at Stath Gordon. Both are alive and real. Take from it what you want or leave it. Simple.

[@macheifach]

About those tracks in the sand. I wonder, how the Thylacine actually would walk. My thinking is: What if the front paws make a print first and the back ones land in the already existing front paw prints? For example (not 100% sure of this), when you look, how a cat walks casually through the snow, the paws land in the already existing prints, there are no separate prints for its' four paws. Maybe that could be the reason, why you have sometimes four claw marks and sometimes five in the same prints (since the small, fifth one looks very small and leaves a mark only sporadically).

[@macheifach]

As someone, who has mountains basically around the corner, I don't think, I would enjoy the Tasmanian Wilderness too much, so, I really enjoy you exploring those wild lands instead of me but what I find actually extremely inspiring, is your demeanor, the way you're able to stay calm and composed and reassuring, it reminds me, to be more aware of those things, as someone, who falls too easily out of balance.

[@c.miller3802]

About 4 years ago there was trail cam footage of a family of them . 100% verified . There were at least 4 different animals on camera

[@davidwoodhouse3982]

Details????

[@c.miller3802]

@@davidwoodhouse3982 , I don't remember what it was on , but the two guys had seen them so they put up trail cameras and I think they saw 4 different animals, it indicated breeding population. It was up high in elevation in very dense area.

[@billdgen116]

Happy Easter everyone 🙏. The only thing I can say is you boys out did yourself amazing.

[@andrewbaron8713]

100% convinced they were tiger tracks. If you do find a tiger you need to tell as then the gov have to do conservation. If you don’t they won’t.

[@jonasio2]

@ Tassie Boys Prospecting - Levi, this was one of your best videos. The intro style, story blending and the whole production. Epic slogging and epic views. The wildlife and the tracks. Then there is you, selfless, encouraging and positive. Cheers mate, you are a good Human. To be continued? ..Yes and Thanks!

[@katzolicious]

what a great adventure. Great editing. all round a perfect video.

[@timmywood9677]

You should set up a trail camera with that strange foot prints and leave it there for several months. Thieves suck!

[@LanaLaughsRealLoud]

The awesome beauty of the Tasmanian wilderness, a beauty so glorious that it proves there's really a God. ❤👍🏻👏🏻🙏☝🏻

[@chrisb8783]

Which one?

[@johnlighton7025]

Been 2000 or so. One must be right

[@Deceter]

Your bar for proof is quite low.

[@TheDadFaxs]

So next time you all go out like this bring some dehydrated bananas. Now the way I do it is to cut them lengthwise. They take about 10 to 12 hours. they will not be crispy. There will be soft like a fruit roll-up. An amazing sweet treat plus a lot of potassium you can get in your body quick. I've eaten a half dozen bananas in 10 minutes before not realizing it cuz I was just snacking away.

[@HoodaThunkit-sj3lk]

Male Thylacine had pouches too. Their pouch also faced backward, like the female, but for the males it was to protect their junk while they ran through the low-lying Y-shaped myrtle. If they evolved to adapt to that environment, that may be a good place to look for them. Isn't evolution great!

[@TG.34295]

Levi the MVP 🤘 Gentlemen and a scholar.

[@scorpiowoman73]

@officialtassieboyprospecting I am checking every day. This is more than torture! It's affecting my sleep!

[@scorpiowoman73]

Do as Rob says and spill the beans man!

[@kypo2674]

Seriously you got to go back and stay for a week at the footprint site, i think your camera's got taken to hide that there might be a small colony of tigers living there. Did you check for human prints. Loved the adventure.

[@jasonludlow7911]

Nothing beats an epic trip into the wild with good mates. And the hunt continues......

[@Jones_Malcolm]

Amazing video mate, I appreciate the work that goes into it, and for the question about if you would tell the world about you see a tiger. I would keep it a secrete, look forward to the next expedition.

[@hgghgguk]

2 cams being gone in that spot i would go back there i think some one/some thing is trying to keep somthing hidden

[@NuggetNinjaAdventures]

Great video Levi! Thanks for sharing more of Tassy with the world, some stunning scenery. If there’s any group who could find a Tasmanian tiger it’s you guys.

[@mickr4832]

Thanks for an epic video , very interesting prints and maybe those missing cameras had just to much info on them for the general public to see. Cheers 🤫.

[@LivingSpiritDesign]

David Fleay went on to start "David Fleay Wildlife Park" in Tullebugera on the Gold Coast. Built in 52'. And was my Grand fathers next door neighbour when i was growing up. A fascinating man, who could tell a wild tale of adventure, and had a house full of worldly trinkets, rocks, feathers and a myriad of other such things from his travels. An amazing human.

[@adventureb4dementia364]

So why didn’t you leave a camera on the footprints?

[@GearsnGadgets]

i say you found one and made up the part about the missing cameras to keep the footage to yourselves. great video!

[@gillyrcgilmore3742]

Levi is a proper Aussie, with digger spirit looking after his mates.

[@Bruzzerfish]

I loved the closing statement. I was having the same thoughts throughout your whole video. You’re not the type of KZbinr out there with click bait and looking for fame. You would look out for the tiger

[@Tampafan33]

The only way to look out for the tiger is to try to find mates and mass breed it before it really does go extinct. Even if they somehow survived they’d be extremely endangered. Imagine being the person to just not say a thing to conservationists and rescuers only for a fire or something to wipe out the rest. You’d have to be smart about it obviously but you’d have to try to save the species

[@wingnutbert9685]

Stunning place! Great video! Definitely have to go back to that creek with the tracks!

[@relaxingwalks_uk]

I think this is the start of the discovery of the Tassie tiger..can't wait for your next search!

[@Ready4itJH]

Excellent adventure and vid. BUT, damn those tracks looked good. You have to go back and set up the cameras and leave them with extra batt packs. That's the best evidence I can remember seeing

[@Rustybucket303]

Great video Gentleman thanks for sharing.

[@karlsthailand]

I’ve seen 3 different perspectives on this trip so far and in all honesty I found this one to be the most engaging. Cheers

[@tassiegirl50]

Big trip… awesome video thanks Levi…. 💚….. Great effort Kurt!

[@marks7120]

Thanks for sharing this great adventure. Thanks also to Kurt for adding some drama. Well done, what a trooper. You might say this episode was “Gold” 😆

[@DonnaRose-ox8mr]

Such a beautiful country always love your videos Levi. ❤️💯

[@wellsjdan]

levi, did you guys get those footprints looked at by experts? we need and update.

[@alexroyholmes]

Love it man! As much as I like your prospecting videos, these wilderness explorations are definitely a favourite! Especially when they are on the search for something! I wonder if you did see something... Keep up the good work!

[@nickblankenbeckler7664]

Great video Levi I wish yall would’ve stayed at that creek that had those interesting prints I cannot wait for part two

[@evelynyoung2644]

An amazing video Levi, cant get enough of these. You don't have to tell the world if you find a tiger mate...just us please ;)

[@ray.shoesmith]

If life was fair you would have run face to face with a Thyla when you went back to get everyone water 😭

[@krisfraser7257]

Can't wait for the next trip, or what you are not telling us????

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Happy Easter Levi and what a spectacular trip and that scenery especially when you got to the white sandhills just breath taking. I felt for Kurt with those cramped up legs I have had some doozies too over the years. The only thing that spoilt all of this was some 2 legged thieving scumbag pinching those cameras like what a dog I hope Karma catches up with that person.

[@jdl.1234]

Great production on your video's. Love watching on my big Telly. I always enjoy your videos, thats for sharing!

[@terry8728]

That was a tough adventure for you guys but simply awesome for us to watch! Can’t wait for part 2! 👍🙂

[@Tampafan33]

Seeing your perspective now i know why dude got so tired he couldnt walk. You couldnt really tell from millers but you definitely showed more of the ruggedness. I wish i could do this so bad. I’m paralyzed and never will be able to

[@iancrump4369]

Awesome stuff mate great video and your a legend 💯👍 to walk back and get the water for everyone 😎👌

[@scorpiowoman73]

Oh my god; we are sooooo excited! How long do we have to wait? Torture!

[@connifilteau2678]

Epic adventurers. Thanks for taking us to the amazing wilderness and beautiful landscapes. The tiger is shy indeed. Wombats are adorable. Great recovery Kurt, that was a lot of leg lifting that day. You got powerhouse thighs now ;]

[@CrackingCritic]

I just watched a video of a guy in Tasmania testing water and the DNA in the water can tell you what animal cross it/drink it. Testing water ways like this might help you broaden and narrow your searches. Just food for thought

[@allanmaccaul1465]

Love ya sense of humour mate.. "Not a bad place to die I guess".. 😅😂😂😂😂😂🤪

[@markwheeldon164]

A true gentleman and wonderful outdoors man. Well done! What an adventure

[@juleen.angove]

id love to have a close look st those prints, def not wombat though..

[@robdotcom71]

Shame about the cameras gone missing... kinda creepy that someone would be creeping around out there at night (who isn't filling everyone's water supplies up....). Beautiful scenery and very interesting footprints.... and what a cray! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@illeodavinci]

Amazing adventure, those tracks would have been enough for me to set up the trail cams. Thanks

[@rey073]

Amazing trip fellas. I don’t understand what the trail on the footprint is. It’s definately there, but in looking at old thylacine footage of it walking, the rear part of the foot pad or ‘backward bending knee’ boesn’t actually touch the ground. Still a mystery but the thylacine looks like the most likely culprit to me.

[@terry8728]

Tough walk to re-do, but it would be interesting to see if you can figure out what made those mysterious tracks!

[@richardclark3334]

Great adventure, the tracks look promising. Suxs you lost some cameras? Mystery deepens lol.

[@PulauSwan]

The case of the missing trail cams, it's highly unlikely they disappeared without leaving footprints

[@KanceRimbe]

Nice adventure as always. I think you should leave the cams for some times, maybe 2-3 months to see the bigger catch. I've done it in my place here and found the rarest cat which is melanistic and its only been recorded 3 times in the last 20 years

[@kevanstreeter2431]

"The wild Indian Ocean"? 4:10, really.? That was one hell-of-a river run. Tasmanian wilderness is something else, soul inspiring.

[@aussiegoldtrekker]

Hey Levi, can you check the video again at 35:07, just after you set up your cameras on the beach, you were walking back to camp pointing out where the other guys were set up. Just to the right of where you were pointing was a smallish dark critter with eyes shining in the torchlight. I would swear it was a Devil right in front of you.

[@chrispepper8811]

Great job all !fab to share the pack ! Good on you young feller for hanging in there and pushing thru the pain ! Keep at it ! Top work Levi Thanks !!

[@masoniain]

Great video. Compelling despite nothing much happening. Just good dudes struggling it out in the wilderness.... And then the closing cliffhanger. I'm intrigued. Just please let it not be clickbait. ❤

[@historicshearersquarters252]

Fantastic channel you have created, and this trip highlights your skills and supremem fitness. Well done all of you! Can't wait for part 2!!

[@DetectaBull]

Another awesome expedition with Rob, Miller & Kurt. Obviously those tracks youse came across certainly means another trip in that area. I've seen Rob's video & it's good to see same trip with different aspects. Well done fellas

[@Ful-OGold]

Were you going to make a video of your best find?

[@officialtassieboysprospecting]

Still unsure

[@coralsancetta7242]

Just watched he'd robs, very interesting. Found yours also very interesting and informative. Loving the videos. Thank you.

[@sebastiank1714]

How many ants does it take to move a trail-cam? Where did they go? Was there any fresh human foot or tire prints?

[@jimmylarge1148]

That’s not a crayfish! That’s an actual lobster! X-rays here in America are mini, like bite sized! 😂

[@petermede3698]

Flat out like a lizard drinking, what a great adventure. Thank you guys.

[@daisiesrout]

the moment a tasmanian tiger gets find i hope a australian vlogger finds it casually without expecting it "anyways, oh- theres a tassie tiger over there, really cool- wait tassie tiger?"

[@mrducky6322]

“So anyway woah…thats a fucking weird looking dog *flashes camera on it for a second* anyway this is a wombat they’re everywhere”

[@smokeyandspikeproductions]

Excellent video, I believe you're on the right track. You will find what you're looking for. It's going to be one hard adventure. Thank you, Levi.

[@Tampafan33]

Them tracks are going to haunt you forever now

[@luciantempest1291]

I saw something just after Xmas day, around 6pm walking across the Gravel road 5mins from Marawah shop. Long legs, lean, long tail went to the ground and curved up, tall - it’s back around knee height, no black strips tho looked like all tan colour, stomach tucked up like a grey hound, graceful walk. I thought the body was like a huge cat jaguar, leopard, jungle cat but the tucked up stomach was so weird. If it’s not a TAS tiger with very light stripes then someone smuggled in some kind of wild animal. Wish I thought to stop and take a photo of the tracks, been looking at plaster mould to carry around if I ever see something again

[@JosesGaraje]

Hope this makes you feel better. Canada Lynx and Bobcat live in Maine, USA. Lynx have a territory of 100 sq mi and Bobcat 30 sq mi. I've spent a fare amount of time in these Maine woods and I've seen neither. Cheers.

[@traceyneale5094]

Shit 😂😂 ( a very Australian expression). Two entirely different views and photography on the same trip. It blew my mind how you and Rob both experienced the trip yet both episodes were entirely different and yet so so entertaining 👍. Way to go guys what a collab. You know you’re gonna need more than 4 days in this spot and probably stealth mode. Can’t wait for this in the future 🍻 cheers

[@danbrent4618]

You’re a good one Levi! Good Job getting the boys water. Keeping your cool in a couple very difficult situations, great leadership! You will find the Tiger! Did you find some interesting tracks where the creek was? I think you did! That ice plant is all over the freeways here in California and along the Coast, just like you have! Dan Brent

[@petereaton6740]

I watched Robs video and was looking forward to yours, and here it is 👍 I know where you guys are headed next! I felt the pain for Kurt and the marvellous efforts both you and Rob did helping everyone out, one of your best videos to date, thanks👍

[@swervnk9742]

Way 2 Live guys. Pushing your self makes u feel alive. Its been a minute since i hiked like that. Thanks
