EPIC OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE Australia - FLOODED RIVERS, 4wd trip Sofala, Turon River, Mt Airly -

[@fwdadventuresza254]

Refreshing to watch a 4x4 vid that's relaxed and not just another advertorial for products 👍🏻

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it mate!

[@ryantilley-general.shenanigans]

It's so refreshing having a 4wd channel that doesn't bang on about beer every 5 seconds.

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha yeah im not much of an alcohol drinker myself

[@brianwalker1933]

Or finish off each comment with a silly girly “false laugh”, that Graham Cahill does from 4WD Action.

[@richnegs5828]

Love the honesty in your vids, they’re normal, not over cooked with how far you can push a 4x4 just realistic. 👍🇳🇿

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks 👍

[@brianwalker1933]

With that water crossing, if you can walk across it without the aid of a stick for support to steady yourself, then you are good to go. I was told about that 43 years ago and still doing it that way and have never came to grief. Great video mate, you’re doing a great job. 😊👍👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Good tip! Thanks mate

This just shows you made the right decision to become a full time youtuber perfect as usual mate 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@concretekiller]

my left ear really enjoyed this video

[@TylerThompson90]

Damn you're right, just checked and realised the main camera was on left hand audio only still as that is how the microphone records, forgot to fix it in editing 🤦‍♂️ next episode is fixed

[@CliveWebbAustralia]

I'd never laugh about someone being cautious when crossing any water. Many people are not cautious enough and people die every year crossing water in Australia. It's a beautiful part of the State and like you say about the rock formations, spectacular. Great video Tyler. Thank you...

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, thanks for the feedback!

[@truetierra]

Excellent vid mate! Looks like it was a cracker of a trip. Nothing wrong with being nervous on big river crossings champ, you had your young fella with ya as well. Taking that step back in those moments to do a thorough risk assessment saves vehicles and lives. :-)

For sure mate, thanks for watching!

Thanks mate

[@graemetowner7257]

never be afraid to turn around at a water crossing or tricky track, theres always another day. If the water can go under the vehicle, generally ok but water hitting side theres a massive force, just like a sail....Nice to see your taking time to read and reply to comments, good for feed back, good for channel, hope the first week of your new venture is going well for you.

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate, thanks for the feedback and watching 👌

Fantastic to see so much water , it’s been dry over there for years

[@JamesyMusial14]

Yep it’s a different world out that way now, everything’s green and back to life, creeks are flowing, grass everywhere Just goes to show no matter how bad a drought is, it always rains in the end

Cant't wait to get over there from WA, looks awesome!

Awesome location, I love camping in that area. The water crossing scene was a bit of a laugh as it is pretty tame crossing there but you are 100% right to be cautious. Great drone footage too.

[@scottbailey2710]

Another great video. Awesome scenery.

The first video as a Professional KZbinr, I hope you can look back on this clip in many years to come and think 'I made the right decision'. Good stuff Tyler, I hope you didn't damage the beast when you slipped into that bank.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! No damage that I could determine

[@WDMTAdventures]

@@TylerThompson90 when it went thunk I thought, oh no now he's going to want brush/front guard bars. I bet that you end up getting some once you get into the more extreme tracks. Thanks for your reply mate, I appreciate it.

Great video and best for your new carrier.....🤞

Thanks so much 😁

[@tareskisloki8579]

Great video I love the Capertee area (pronounced cape er tea), and I've been going to Mt Airlie since the mid 90's, crazy how much it's changed over the years. That canyon walk that you did used to have a ladder to climb down where you stopped (probably the one you walked over earlier), but NPWS removed it for saftey reasons, the walk actually continues on a loop and comes back to the main track, there's also another interesting canyon walk not far from there on the other side of the road. As for the water crossings, I've seen too many close calls to ever bag someone out for being too careful.

[@TylerThompson90]

Okay cool thanks for the info mate, Ill have to try and find the other canyon walk next time im there!

[@jessemorrison8661]

really enjoy your videos, i chill at work and watch them whilst slurping pepsi

Pa'.....love the suspense you bring to the channel. Never leave home without him ;-) Kye love your umbrella mate....might need to make it a bit bigger though...lol :-) Some people may be laughing about the water crossing, but if you don't know or have not got the experience, being pre-cautious is a better option in my opinion.

Rig looks the goods. The comparison always interesting with Dads vehicle. Demonstrating the fact that minimal mods required most of the time. Winch is preferable if solo, underbody protection and AT tyres.

should get a dash mat mate, will def help with anti cracking of dash in all the sun she cops, and bonus anti slip surface for all your stuff

With water crossings i have always been told if you cant walk it easy you cant drive it. So in that situation it was all good. Right to be cautious though.

Great work as always Tyler! Do you mind if I ask your opinion of bullbars?

I like the minimal look of the Xrox on your dad's truck, but I'm wondering if the full size type that you've got is better protection? Is your dad happy with his choice? Thanks Tyler!
