Hello Michael,I firstly want to thank you for the many hours of enjoyment that you have given me with all your travels.As a young 63 year old i have relived some of my own adventures of the past through you and has put a little bit of fire again in me so much so that i have gone and bought another 4x4 for future travels.There are a lot of KZbin channels out there but what made yours very special is the sincerity and humor that you have put into it.Your knowledge and advice is second to non and your filming is excellent.I wish i had the patiences that you have, as i know how much work there is in making good content.And i know exactly how you feel about mixing work with passion.So don't feel guilty for retairing and living as in a lurch!!!!!LOL,I wish you all the very best in the future whatever you choose to do and hope to see you around the tracks.

Michael, I only stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and I've been hammering watching all of your videos in order since then. I seen this video pop up in my feed over that time and to be honest, I've been dreading it, as I knew that your videos were obviously coming to an end. You've been an inspiration to watch and can get anyone even thinking about camping or 4 wheel driving into a die hard fan and desperate to get out there. Even my 6 year old daughter regularly wants to watch your videos and now has a passion for camping, all thanks to you. Thank you for all your great videos and I hope in the time since making these and in the pandemic you've managed to still continue doing what you love. Hopefully, from time to time you might come back and give us some updates. Thank you also for the great tips and tricks along the way.

Woooow the way you explained how turning your passion into a job will kill your passion is exactly how I explain it to everyone who asks me why I’ve stopped doing photography and cooking. I turned both of my passions into a job and then I found myself never wanting to do those things anymore. And I put down the camera for the same exact reason. I wasn’t fully present with the camera and I wanted to stop worrying about getting the best shot, and wanted to actually enjoy the places I was at. Nowadays I do what you said you started off doing, and that is taking small clips or photos to capture memories and share them with friends. It’s so cool to hear someone else explain their reasonings for why you chose not to do something you’re good at. Always felt like I was alone with my reasonings of why I’ve stopped my passions. I’m at a point now tho where I want to pick those things back up again and regain those passions. Anyway, I’m so happy I found this channel. Hoping you’re out there getting your passions back and still permanently smiling lol 🙏🏼
