Your wife’s/girlfriends face when you got stuck was hilarious! 😂😂 Great video

[@ilove2explore]

Really love how Kayla is getting right into being part of the video’s, told ya she wouldn’t be going back to a swag once she has experienced the luxury of a dot

[@bush2coast801]

Kayla.... "Orrr, I just find a new Boyfriend with one"..she cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣

[@nzmarkb8713]

She didn’t even try to pass it off as a joke 😂 you better get one quick mate or she’s going to get better offers 😉

[@Matt-1126]

That comment was a deal breaker. Juice is not worth the squeeze mate....trade up for a new one you can also do better she just showed her true colours.

[@TylerThompson90]

THIS WAS FILMED BACK IN EARLY MARCH, PRIOR TO COVID RESTRICTIONS All the songs used in this video were from Dan Mace and his 'Seeing Sounds' series 👌 kzbin.info

[@liamkelly2157]

I was watching this without reading the comments first and was like I've heard these versions of songs and spent 5 minutes trying to work it out haha

[@raymondcasey5747]

My wife and I have recently bought a camp trailer. Best thing ever. As you get older (and some say wiser) you realise the ground is too bloody hard, cold and wet. Yes, you need to revise some of the ways you drive off road but, you still achieve the same result, which is getting to the place that no one else can and at the day of the day you will have a more comfortable bed to crash in. The trailer design looked brilliant, especially having the bat wing awning. Think I might redesign ours. As for the cooking, you do what you want, if viewers don’t like it, then don’t watch it. They can skip that part of the video.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the feedback mate!

[@TristanNicolas]

I enjoy all your videos, including the cooking segments. Cooking is one of the best parts of camping :)

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy them!

[@jeep6242]

By the time she is giving you crap about the mudhole while you are standing pantsless hosing your legs off I was dying of laughter and had to put my coffee down to not pour it all over my laptop.

[@TylerThompson90]

[@gregcampbell1225]

Great video Tyler Its great seeing a DOT trailer being put through its paces.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@aussiecue]

Great trip. Oh the creature comforts of a trailor. Hard to go back

[@Dennis-zr3fb]

I think Kayla was enjoying watching you get down to your jocks and wading in the mud to much... it was a laugh 😂😂😂 another great vid mate.

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks mate!

[@ddanielll100]

Really well made and fun video reflective of what camping, touring and 4wding is for all of us that like to get out there like this. keep it coming guys :)

[@TylerThompson90]

Appreciate it mate, glad you enjoyed it!

[@steiny3353]

@@TylerThompson90 ...I agree with ddanielll100...I've only just found your channel and love it. You and Kayla go well together. I really like the bloopers you have in some of your other vids. I'm going to be slowly working my way through your stuff. Very enjoyable.

[@MsandMrspinact]

That was truly entertaining stuff, you two make a great team out on the tracks.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you!

[@deathmin98]

Love the cooking episodes, it gives the partner something to get excited for on the next trip

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoy it!

Loved this one as you were a little out of your comfort zone. Especially in your Daks 😂

[@dannyjansen6011]

We love the cooking segment and want more!!!!

[@WAMAGPIE]

Enjoyed the vid guys. What an awesome example of getting out of that mud hole without extra support staff.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you!

[@adamm5263]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one mate. Always great to see camping options especially in an actual relatable situation. The trailer setup looked very easy to use. I do enjoy a good camp cook up but agree that this video was about the trailer and not the food. Having dedicated cooking videos allows us viewers to watch the topics we want to with out having to filter through unwanted viewing. Besides it opens up an opportunity to have a seperate spin-off channel dedicated to cooking. Keep safe.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video! Appreciate the feedback

[@1978crawf]

I just installed a roof top similar to that on my NP300, love it.

[@waynelemmon3007]

Awesome video. Barrington Tops was one of our favorite place's when living in NSW. Have to agree that Little Murray camp ground is worth the drive in. Glad I found your video's.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@tinahill9220]

So fresh faced here!

[@dannybartlett3335]

This is great.. You to look like you have some great fun. Me and the misses get out camping too and you’ve inspired us to try and start filming some of the places we go. Plus your videos give us new ideas and places to explore Keep up the good work 👌🏼

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying them!

[@kainebarker4185]

🤣 gold! Trailer looks like a winner

[@krump7429]

Sick video. Now you have rented the trailer once there is no going back now 😂😂😂. The blooper bits at the end are hilarious. Top stuff.

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!

[@boxheadmr]

Funny stuff, think we have all been there in the bog hole. Laughed at the support she gave you when she reached for the phone.

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha yep super helpful, cheers mate

[@gameuck17]

Great vid again. Easy to watch with the wife, no over hyped action that all blurs in to a vid that trys to out do the last one with rigs that are over the top. Keep it real, your doing great.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy them 👌

[@shannonginders4363]

Enjoyed the video mate so keen to get to Barrington when the restrictions are over the camping looks awsome 👌

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, great place up there!

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

I love that area Tyler. Karen and I go up there as often as we can. Stay safe. Cheers Steve

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate!

[@warrenmedley8246]

Andrew, I'm glad you have decided to power up the canopy separately. That was one of my comments in a previous video. Keep it up OTT!!!

[@boxheadmr]

Wrong channel mate, think u want Andrew st pier white?

[@unclemonstatimo]

I got bogged on horse swamp trail 2 years ago, I don't feel so bad now. Thanks for the great content.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Good bog hole that one

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Pretty gutsy trip for a first time tower. Glad you got through OK. 🙏

[@steiny3353]

NasTime Adventures..I thought so too. That really jumping in at the deep end. Not just having towed an off road trailer before, but having never towed ANY trailer before..lol..well done.

[@matthutch5919]

You should invest in some wet suit booties, put them in a dry bag after use & keep your feet safe from hidden surprises. Another great video seriously awesome viewing, thank you.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep might have to do that

[@ping_kingz1226]

Definitely put the cooking segments in, love the 4wd action ones.

[@chriskaskadanis3795]

Love it mate, funny as getting stuck in the bog hole! not sure about the purple daks though :-)

Nice one tyler, Kyla was so funny again with the balloon man flying around in the car...Cheers Mate

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@abrighterday508]

When reversing straight use your mirrors, if you see too much of the trailer in your mirror turn that direction.. there's a tip for your mothers day

[@TylerThompson90]

Okay thanks for the tip!

[@abrighterday508]

Awesome content by the way 👍

[@paulthoroughgood7590]

whichever way the bottom of your steering wheel goes is the direction your trailer is gonna go

[@chieltjeuh]

That was a quality video keep this up ! Love it

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

Camper trailer was cool. I like cooking segments being part of the trip, doesn't hurt for us blokes to learn a few new tricks, can't beat a good feed when you're camping. I'm gonna try that vegetarian spag bol you cooked with Kai next time I go camping with my daughter as she's a vego, looks like a great option.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the feedback mate 👌

[@colbypearce7478]

Another great video. When I saw the (mud) bow wave I thought you were in trouble. Must be a good winch!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep I was a bit surprised too it worked as well as it did!

[@cooperken11]

Great video Tyler. Quick trailer tip, hold the bottom of the wheel when reversing. Want the trailer to go to the right, turn the bottom of the wheel to the right, same for the left. You don’t need to think too hard that way, it just works.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, cheers for the tip!

[@Romeogolfbravoyt]

Great tuip Ken! When holding at the top I was always taught 'Turn the wheel they way you dont want it to go' ... Tomato, Tamato :D LOL

[@cooperken11]

@@Romeogolfbravoyt No worries mate, it works a treat. I tell anyone that I see struggling.

[@seanhutton7155]

Thanks for leaving the cooking out bro,loved it

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate

[@scottcullum4642]

Yeah agree , better with no cooking segment.

[@garyhankinson5695]

Not everyone wants to watch the meanest 4wds tackling the hardest tracks all the time. I relate to your videos as sometimes it’s just about getting out there and finding a nice camp spot after exploring a nice track or 2. I have a hilux Ute and just use a swag but am thinking of a rooftop tent over the tray......I’m getting old! 😁

[@krump7429]

I have an ifs ute. Ienjoy watching this cause it shows what an ifs ute can do and how to drive it accordingly. Sure it cant bash and crash the way upa hill like a solid axle vehicle, but it can do alot with some thought behind it. This is one of my favorite 4wding channels, and this guy hasnt been corrupted by corperate greed like so many other 4wd channels on youtube trying to push product placement onto people.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[@FJUH]

Great content mate! I was up there today and was going to do the Carey’s peak walk from junction pools with my son but the Barrington trail on the east side is shut due to the virus. I did phone NP beforehand to check and was told it was now open except for camping. Didn’t see many people up there. We did a few trails near there and then went to Horse Swamp trail on the way home (I watched your previous BT video before going up, thank you for the track info). I don’t have a winch so I’m pretty happy I decided to take the other option to where you got bogged. Keep the quality content coming mate!👍

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, appreciate it! Heaps of good spots up there to check out

[@Morphic-Realms.]

hah nice, if no one else has given you props for that breaky cut, I will, did a good job bro lol... enjoyed the ep as always..

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks mate! Appreciate it 🙌

Handled it well for your first towing experience gotta get up there maybe if it snows. Not well atm. Great vid

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate!

[@barcrusher]

The looks on your faces when you got stuck was sensational.Than your girlfriend was having scream laughing at ya.keepin it real guys love it

[@TylerThompson90]

Haha thanks mate!

[@timmoss1481]

A big tip when towing a trailer get your self a couple of extra pull blocks if u do get jammed up any where u can use your winch to pull the trailer around

[@TylerThompson90]

Good point mate!

[@Phil_McAvity]

Nice one guys! I still prefer the old swag I reckon 🤙

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep I'll still be sticking to the swag for all our bigger trips

[@TheDude2097]

Awesome vid man I had a trip planned here for my 21st last month but it obviously had to be canned 😞 good to see what I’m in for when it’s all over though!

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate, that's a shame! Hoping we can all get away camping again soon

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Hey Tyler, also a great idea to try a High Lift to shift the trailer left or right when you get stuck and just need that little more room to move. 👍🇦🇺

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the tip mate!

[@isaacmakin2084]

Great videos love your work

[@TylerThompson90]

Thank you!

[@chrishanslow4825]

That camper trailer looks alright, I love our soft floor camper but my wife has stipulated that she wants and in no uncertain terms we will be getting a off road caravan..... Her wish is my command 😂😂😂😂

[@Quirky5580]

A tub rack with a rooftop tent on top would be awesome on the nav 👌🏼

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep that would be good!

[@jimmyjimmy951]

Kayla, I have a new Prado and a full hybrid off road trailer. New boyfriend if you ever do jump! I also want to see you cook not Tyler. 🤣👍🇦🇺

Thanks for plowing out that boghole! :-)

[@mrcrankyank]

Another tops video man

[@TylerThompson90]

Appreciate it!

[@brownmansadventures9374]

Great vid guys, tip - if you tow on rough tracks it's a good idea to get a come-a-long or rope puller. It'll be useful to drag the trailer sideways when stuck. I have a small 250kg chain block and it's not that much to carry and is more compact. Also, I agree with you Tyler doing the cook shows separate. No offence Kayla but camp cooking is kinda another "thing", and it's best to keep the videos short as possible. I watch all your stuff so I'm sure others who follow would do the same and watch both. I can see you getting a camper trailer, and I look forward to how it works out. Again good stuff and keep it coming.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks for the tips mate, appreciate the feedback!

[@errolbaff5699]

Looks just like Ebor, Guy Fawkes country!

[@rjofur]

Good luck. Sorta lost me with the trailer. Enjoy.

[@lowranger4x49]

A bloody awesome corner of the world Barrington Tops; can't wait to hit it up again some time. And if only there was some way to scroll past / not watch a cooking video if you weren't interested in it. . . 🤔

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep would be amazing if people were able to just skip the videos and not watch them 😂

hi guys i agree with your g/f you should also do some cooking for the channel , when you are away and let her do the talking on the cooking tell what your making and also what ingredients you use , that way it give her some input , keep up the great work love your videos cheers

Tyler Thompson I really like how you explain the tracks and what your doing.. I’ll be waiting for the next video for sure

[@mikehzz9848]

I've got an off road trailer with a roof tent on and it's fantastic for base camping for a few days. Reversing it on a tight trail is the only downside. Mine's got all my gear permanently in it, I just hitch up and go. No packing and unpacking.

[@TylerThompson90]

Sounds like a good set up mate

[@mikehzz9848]

@@TylerThompson90 Pretty good, the trailer loaded is less than 500kgs and it's only a 6x4. Its from podtrailer.com.au in Melbourne. Weight is the number 1 factor for me, I don't want to be dragging around anything heavy. Cheers mate, love your work.

[@johntomson6976]

Barrington Tops is a great place. with all the restrictions I didn’t realise we could go camping yet!

Great video and location. It’s a shame Drifta is stopping production of these trailers after all the development that has gone into these over the last few years.

[@TylerThompson90]

Thanks mate! Yep not good news that they are completely cutting them

[@timmoss1481]

The biggest mistake I ever made was buying a roof top then a camper now wifey won’t go back to the swag for anything less then one night 😂 😂 I love the Dot setup over my 12ft soft floor it’s a bitch to set up for anything less then 2 nights 😂😂

[@TylerThompson90]

Yep definitely much more comfortable in the roof top haha, I'll still be using the swags on the majority of trips though

[@mjcj1971]

Hey guys... great video as always, keep them coming. What’s your thoughts on the Drifta chairs?

[@TylerThompson90]

Cheers mate! Yep they seemed pretty good but would need to use them a little longer

[@bobrodegers460]

Hi Tyler, enjoyed the Barrington Top video, I am very new to 4x4 driving and that looks like a good place for a beginner to get his tyers muddy without getting myself into to much trouble, regarding camping do you need to book camp site's? and do I have to bring ion my own wood? cheers Karl

[@tjmgti]

Going off the hat you have on, maybe a alloy canopy on the way soon?

Nope not at this stage, hopefully down the track!

Major difference when taking the misso camping..... Avo on absolutly EVERYTHING

[@owz37]

Get a rooftop tent soon and you can have a kitchen setup on your truck too if u want. Or would you wanna get a trailer, it won't be suitable for your truck with independent rear suspension also disconnected sway bar. That's great why would u wanna change or upgrade it for trailer. What you think?

[@AndrewJohnny536]

independent rear suspension???? mp300 has a solid rear axle/diff housing, they have the option of coil or leaf springs is where i think you are getting confused.
