- Welcome back to the channel, Natasha and I head off for a few days at Root Hog crossing on the Macquarie river at the Bridle Track. We found ourselves a great spot on the banks of the river and it was even warm enough for a swim this time.
Thank you so much for watching and all the support
Cheers Shad

Take Tash into a cave and show her a 'mine shaft'!. Likely story mate, hahahaha. Another great episode, thanks for sharing.
I’m sure i have taken her there before, we took the kids there years ago. Who knows 😂😂. She says i take her too many places.

Another great, relaxing break. Like those disco lights on the Cruiser...

Great place , so quiet & peaceful , awesome ep m8 .
Thanks mate, certainly is 🤠👍👍
Another good camping getaway Shad. 👍👍 The Root Hog Road Reserve Campgrounds is one of my favourite free campgrounds along the Bridle Track. It would be perfect if it had drop toilets.
Thanks mate, its a great spot
Also has new drop toilets now
They are fantastic
Hopefully the public can appreciate them and look after the area, unfortunately we took a lot of extra rubbish home.
Just a perfect time away mate
Thanks for all the effort you put in on the camera shots it really puts a good perspective on the location
Cheers unpro 🤙
Thanks mate , I definitely get my step count up with the camera 😂. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🤠.

Great stuff mate. Super chilled little spot. Shame you didn't leave it super chilled for us😂.
Thanks mate , yeah was getting a bit busy now.
Great spot guys👍👍👍
Thanks for tuning in again, it definitely was a terrific spot 🤠👍
Root Hog Road Campground is a good one. My dogs and I love staying there. I like the easy access to the river. Plus it's even better now that they've got some basic amenities. And the river crossing from the grounds is always fun. Thanks for taking us along. 👍
Thanks mate, its definitely a great spot we love it there. Definitely better with the toilet addition. Appreciate you tuning in 👍🤠.
Awesome video mate, Love the area, can't wait to go back.
Thanks mate
Beautiful place mate as usual.
Thanks mate

Top viewing there sir. I’m sure you will get your 4K subs. 🤙🏻
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it
So simple, so easy, so smooth ... You do it so well mate, & your missus too ... The Root Hog Hole is my next venture, thanks to you.
Thanks so much mate, really appreciate it. Hope you have a great time down there.
@@shaddonaghue Me again, can you please tell me where you got that fire smoke deflector ? I can't find it anywhere. Ta, Jim.
@@TheFox2450 its an ozbarrier and i have the link and a discount code in the video description. Thanks mate
Another great camping spot, love that you tow your camper into these great spots, I need to use mine more :)
Thanks mate, yeah its a great camper to get into some of these spots, i am reluctant to upgrade at the moment. Thanks for watching 👍👍😎
@@shaddonaghue yeah I mean, what would you upgrade to that would offer something more but still be nimble and light.
@@OffTheBeatenPathAus thats the problem, everything is bigger and heavier, longer and wider.
Magic spot, thanks for sharing.
Great video 👌🏼
Thanks mate, definitely was a good spot. 👍👍🤠
Drove past in our amarok and gave you a wave on the Saturday morning, great set up and spot you had.
Awesome, its great out there. Where did you end up ? Thanks for watching 👍🤠
@@shaddonaghue stayed at tattersals the night before, left Saturday morning before it got too busy.
@@inspirationadventure197 yeah good idea 👍
Great footage mate and what a beautiful spot. I have seen that area in videos before but more so the northern side of the point you were on. That is one camp I have on my bucket list for sure as is Root Hog Rd & The Bridle Track. Root Hog Road looks like stunning views and just a really enjoyable drive.
Yeah thanks mate, such a great spot to camp and a lot of options for camping and touring throughout that area when your down this way.
@@shaddonaghue Yeah it looks like a ripper spot for a camp. I'm wanting to do a trip through Mudgee down to Hill End then follow the Bridle track to Bathurst then head back via Root Hog Rd and head into Sofala.
@@OnCountryWithMick yeah mate, you’ll love . Such a great trip. Tracks are in good condition atm , just a tad dusty
@shaddonaghue they looked well managed. I had the trip planned a while back but Covid broke out and stopped it, that's when I upgraded my editing software instead.
The views along the ridge line are awesome, truly stunning on a clear day.
Best taken in travelling from Bathurst, but okay in reverse, just need to stop to take em in.
Great location Shad, you guys are so organised and in synch. Perfection except for the brown snake 😅
Thanks mate, yeah we got that camper down pat now. Not keen on any more brown snakes this year please 🤠
Hi Shad, I'm not a big fan of the 76 series after having owned one, but I've worked out after watching a few of your videos that's about the only thing I can dislike about yah! haha 😂 vehicle choice.
For this reason I've just scribed to help your numbers.
Love your firepit wind guard-reflector, it's physical storage size would be it's only drawback, I'm summising.
How good are those Icheck tyre deflators ? We deflate to 25psi all round in far less time than we could with the ARB deflator. Basically fit one, go round vehicle fitting others, return to 1st one then set off removing them in a continuous circular motion, awesome.
The location is idea for families, shallow sandy section then deep swimming section opposing it.
Now, you are to be praised for taking the time to clean up other GRUBS rubbish, good on yah!
Yes, if UA-camrs such as yourselves showed some of your efforts in productions it may go a long way in encouraging others to do likewise.
Unlike 24/7 whom just did a session on how we all need to do this, I was so taken in, it's reinforced in me to be more vigilant and practice likewise.
Then, disappointingly in the following episodes they are clearly throwing disregarded food scraps directly on the ground (shame on you Mr. Cahill) smashing windows on tracks (Jock), it's just so disappointing.
Practice what you preach 24/7, clean your own act up.
They should actually show us their claims they clean up, video it, present it!
(They don't hold back on showing us how to trash tracks in their footage, shame is others then copy them).
I've had my rant, let's all practise tread lightly, clean up, keep the tracks available to us.
Wealie
Thanks mate, I appreciate it hey and fully understand that you don’t like the 76 and that’s ok 👍. It would be pretty boring world if we all just liked the same thing. The fire pit and windshield pack down flat so that’s not too bad its just the weight I suppose. I really like the tyre deflators they are nice and easy to use just walk around and put em on, i have found for me that they are about 2 psi out but once you know that its fine. They are great for me as I’m airing down i can get some camera gear ready.
The rubbish is a real tricky one as far for me i like to promote cleaning up a bit but try not to harp on about it as i think it might turn people away and take away from the video. I left a bit out of this video as I cleaned up about 4 fireplaces and consolidated them and also cleaned up heaps of toilet paper when the toilet is only 100metres away. But definitely some of the bigger channels could help a bit more with that message. Actually we had a confrontation with some people on the weekend just gone as they left there rubbish behind and the fire roaring and we put it out and took the rubbish and what do know we caught up to them.
Cheers Mate , I’ll keep trying to get the message across
@@shaddonaghue fires, rubbish, it's tad frustrating, ha?
Fortunately I've found a great use for my grey water tank whenever I have our van in tow, I use our stored shower/wash up water to douse camp fires left unattended next morning.
To our horror, once when recceing Baal Bone Gap Rd we came across a group of clowns camp fire they'd only just vacated from, loaded it with all their rubbish, including butane gas canisters, but wait, rolled a truck tyre, (not a 4bie tyre, a truck tyre) on and left it. We rolled up just as tyre was catching on. My son and I utilised a tree branch & shovel to drag the tyre off whilst dodging darting butane cans, then our shovel to cover the tyre in sand to smother it, recovered remaining butane cans with shovel, then spread out the stumps and smothered them as well.
Was a massive effort over a long period. Would have had great delight in handing their details to authorities, but unfortunately we'd just missed them going on the tyre just beginning to combust.
Twas also a dry time also.
We are surrounded by tossers unfortunately.
@@ianweal3081 we are definitely surrounded by tossers, i think the penelties need to be harsher and more people need to record number plates etc, don’t want to sound like a dobber but we need to protect what we have left , most of these spots are free to camp and i want to be doing this in 20years still, not couped up in a caravan park.
I am intrigued by the fire lighter used at the 6.31 minute mark. Please advise. I am a subscriber and love the vids. Cheers, Baz
Thanks mate, they are the zippo fire lighters.

Nice Shad.
Where’d you get those pork chops?😂
Railway meats in Blayney 👍👍. Top stuff 👍
Just found your channel, really like what you do ...
Just wondering about your light weight chair, is it an aluminium frame (the light blue one) and do you like it
Thank you , yes i love it. Its the helinox sunset chair , light weight but i find it very comfortable for my back. I have a review on the chair back on my channel a few years back. ua-cam.com/video/U03qkCB7BME/v-deo.htmlsi=k4n9TzZfgfmYBAk-
Thankyou,
How many psi did you go down to for the road please mate?
About 25-28 psi mate, its a pretty good track in there
@@shaddonaghue Thanks mate. Ive done it a couple of times but never bothered to deflate. Would be a much comfier ride at those levels.
@@chriswebster9646 yeah that’s it
Is the track easy enough that a 2nd gen honda crv could do it?
Trying to find some easy offroad stuff my vehicle is capable of. Obviously with that river crossing id only go during a dry period.
Probably not the root hog fire trail but you could easily do the first bit of the bridle tk from the Bathurst side. To be honest i reckon you could do the lot carefully.
@@shaddonaghue cheers for the reply. yeh was mainly looking at along the river to hill end.
Ill gauge it as I go, but should be right in that case then. thanks.
@@gamerswar1747 yeah you should be right but maybe not this weekend with the rain 😬
@@shaddonaghue Ahhh yeh most definitely not, would be a very unsafe time.
This I've lined up for the next spring/summer once Ive got some k02s on it and a few more bits of gear.
👍
Another cracking site. And nailing those timelapse nightshots. Keep up the good work, enjoying the content.
Thanks mate , glad you enjoyed it. Getting a bit harder with summer now for the timelapses as i gotta stay up later 😂😂
@@shaddonaghue thats fair.
