Thanks for watching! As always with these Thursday videos we hope we were able to provide some value (even if we may have rambled slightly! 😅). Let us know if there are any other topics you'd like to see us have a chat about in a future video!
Thank you for the tips and tell us your experience on how to make money living on the road. I'd like to do that. But I have no gut to do it yet 😁 Great video guys xx
I literally just finished talking about funds & the huge increase of the costs of materials & gear recently with my wife for our fit out. Budgeting is getting harder these days. Good on you for getting out there I'll be 60 next year & we "Still" haven't left, even though we planned too about 30 years ago and work as we went, it just never happened! We are now carrying a lot of debt. (Mortgage, loans from my previous business, credit cards etc etc) it's just work, work, work to get through it all. We are certainly not into doing You Tube, blogging etc (& have no intention to do so) but good on you for giving it a go. I'm not a fan of most You Tubers because of the need to sell or keep content coming for a living, but how down to earth you guys are is what keeps you real. P.S...... are we happy? Not as happy as you!! (but we do have a nice home & 2 awesome kids in their 20's who by the way are into travel) We will get there one day I hope! CHEERS!!
Hey mate thanks for watching. Yes the amount that some people are now charging is pretty crazy isn’t it!! You will 100% get there just keep at it- you’re happy that’s the main thing. We really appreciate your kind words thanks again for watching Rod 😊
You guys are seriously awesome. Your openness and honestly is a refreshing trait to see on youtube. If we look at others like 4xOverland they are always trying to protect their ideas and content. You're like a breath of fresh air every time. This is just the video I was hoping to see one day. I have two channels which I would like to try monetise and your advice is nothing short of Brilliant! Thank You Thank You.
All credit to you for honestly divulging some of the revenue streams you have found through online exposure. I believe too many others will not divulge for fear of diluting the resource. Sadly too many will not honestly divulge what's propping them up through sheer embarrassment, not wanting to create jealousy and/or relying on an false image of unbias. I think we all know who fits into which barrel. They just think everyone is stupid.
Thanks for this video. My partner and I are planning to hit the road within 2022. Money is my biggest fear and not having a 'home'. We are older than you guys. In our 40s kids have left home so now is the time. I hope you have been enjoying every moment. I'm off to binge watch your adventure.
Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed it. Our biggest tip is to do whatever you can to make your car feel like home, trust us you won't miss the regular house!
@@itsJackandMegan you’ve picked up another subscriber too :) Will be watching your adventures with envy for the next year or so until I can save enough to experience it for myself.
G'Day , jack, megan.. great to see you doing this and helping people to really know how easy or hard it is . .heh everybody don't skip through the ads, the more you watch the more money is earned for jack and megan... Thanks Jack and megan
It's great it's working for you guys. Very brave to take the plunge. To support you, I always let the ads play 100% on your videos. Hopefully that helps you get a little bit more revenue from UA-cam.
Great video guys, your "rambling" was very informative and that is one of the reasons I'm subscribing. Just brought my touring vehicle today and plan to leave around the end of this year.
Hi guys, 1) You should do the Kjapukai Kuranda sky rail. 2) When you're free of debt, free of politics, free of religion and free of big tech then you're truly free. 3) Don't forget to visit Chillagoe caves, Undarra lave tubes, Atherton, THe giant curtain Fig and Milla Milla falls.
Absolutely love the idea of traveling AUS and making money online and overall exploring our beautiful country, I'll definitely be watching more videos in the future. This would be 1 of my goals for sure thanks guys 👊
I did it in 2016 when I was 25 and I'm ready to go again but I'll wait till the end of the year. Was the best thing I ever did and every time I see backpackers traveling I wish I was back living out of my car
Great job guys. The UA-cam algorithm must be working in your favour, because you popped up in my feed randomly! I miss travelling immensely. It’s always great to see success stories like yours and how you both gave up your career to live your dreams and travel. I envy the both of you. You have a new subscriber in me! Keep it up!
I also travel Aus in a 1993 troopy, I work online in network marketing and it is just the best! so great having all this freedom! also love the tribe tip! will be looking into that for sure! safe travels guy and keep up with the awesome vids! :)
Love the energy, enthusiasm, honesty and fun you guys put into all your videos. I'm glad you have found some ways to supplement the expenses and I only hope that your subscription base gets much bigger and makes the lifestyle worthwhile on a full time basis. There are many like UA-cam clips on the net but you can tell the difference between those that do it because they love it and those that do it because they think they can become rich. You guys definitely come across as doing it for the love of it and I enjoy watching the results of your hard work. Keep it up and keep smiling and keep me and others smiling too 😎😁👍
We are coming to the end of our full time working life, looking forward to renting the house to our son, and hooking up the van in the new year, and doing a lap around the block. Your video has helped and I will be able to reference some of the things you mentioned as we go. Thanks for doing this video, very helpful.
Hi guys it's great what your doing have fun I'm just getting in doing up a Toyota prado 1998 in great condition and doing up a trailer ,I have 4 kids and we moved to hervey bay and mortgage free and going to do the bear foot system soon . Thanks for the video.
Hey mate thanks for watching would also recommend Rich dad Poor dad that changed our mind set massively! Those prados are a great car nice and comfortable! 😊👍
Awesome content guys!!! We are hoping to be doing our lap within the next year 🤞🏼 Love the videos! They get better and better every time. Love your personalities! 😊
Great video guys. Loads of great info. We’ve been working around Aus for 3 years now with our kids and loving it. I didn’t know about that tribe app so I’ll look into it now. Just gotta pump up our Instagram numbers now lol. Anyways. I’ve subbed now and looking forward to seeing where you guys have been.
Love your content guys! I just found your channel and I love it, I’ll start my road trip next month! The plan is to do the big lap as well, I’m so excited. I’ll definitely subscribe to your channel to follow your adventures. Who knows, maybe I’ll run into you guys somewhere 😊
Hey Guys, I've just found you and subscribed. I like your vibe and will watch your previous videos. I was looking for ideas of where to go in Oz, because it's SO bloody big! I live in Thailand and wish to travel round Aus & NZ before I die. Regards, David.
Great stuff guys. Your living your dream! Just don't let the corporate and marketing side of things take over your great channel, otherwise you may find your viewers will drop off like I've seen on other channels. I will honestly say I have unsubscribed from channels that turn it into a big advertisement. See you on the next vid.
Also something I just thought of is merchandise if you had the time that would be awesome to see here and have a bit more 💵 in your pocket!! Have a good one and stay safe
Just picked up another sub guys! . This info is really good. How do you go about servicing the troopy. Do you just book it in at a mechanics when you head to towns. Awesome content and good on you two for getting out there, doing what you two want to do! 🤙🤙
Thanks mate! I do as much of the servicing myself as I can, we've done a video in regards to servicing if you want to have a watch- ua-cam.com/video/2b21leB5QVk/v-deo.html But wheel bearings etc I will try and avoid doing that myself if possible but do hold onto all the parts required just in case we break down on the side of the road or something. Thanks again mate 😊😊
@@itsJackandMegan Thank you! My partner and I are loving your videos. We are getting ready to set off around Aus in 8 weeks. We currently have a prado, however, our dream is to eventually upgrade to a troopy for extra room while travelling with our 2 dogs. Hope to see you both on the road!
Really great and informative video guys well done. You're naturals around the camera and it comes across very genuine. One quick question on how much it costs. Can you give me an estimated how much it costs per day to travel. As in fuel and food and water and camping expenses and car maintenance etc. Mainly those ones. As to say without phone bill and your own individual costs etc. The bare bones everyone would have to be paying. I remember seeing anywhere from 30-60 a day.
Not there yet Paul, still in the planning and development stage. But for me the starting point is fuel cost, as I suspect it will be the largest, and along with maintenance and repairs, a non negotiable(ie we can always eat cheaper, not do the tourist trips etc). As such, my starting point is how many kilometers I plan to travel, and have an estimate of $/km to extrapolate from. From there, a budget for maintenance and a kitty for repairs, then ongoing bills/expenses and personal expenses. Safe travels.
This is a great video, I’ve always wondered how to make money on the road and how everyone does it. My plan is to leave in about 2 years once my son is 18. But I also want to work in remote places like stations & mines , outback pubs etc. but great to know about these other things too. 😀 loving your videos
Loved your story guys and hearing how you guys are getting by. I definitely know one thing for sure… throw yourself into the unknown and the universe will open up opportunities you would never thought was possible. You guys are living example of that truth. My wife and I are waiting on our truck to come in and do the same thing I’ll definitely be sharing this vid with her. Subscribed 👌
Good morning, can you tell me around how much your GVM cost to get done to your Troopy , my GVM is stranded 3300 and with the things I plan on doing to it I’ll need an upgrade , thanks Laurie 👍
Thank you guys for being so transparent. We are travelers as well, from NZ. We spent years saving for our 18 month trip (that was meant to be longer but was cut short due to covid). We spent a while backpacking through Asia and Africa before buying a van in Virginia USA, turning it into a camper and driving South as far as Guatemala before we had to return to NZ in March 2020. We struggled to find videos like this whilst we were saving and wish there was more like it. Personally, we saved as much as we could and had to deal with seeing those negatives. Now we are back at the saving point again and we are thinking of learning more about shares and crypto. We are currently planning an Australia overlanding trip (might see ya on the road) and then one day returning to our van which we have stored in Mexico. I hope your videos inspire more people to get out there and live like this. Keep up the awesome videos!
Hey guys thanks for watching and getting in touch. Wow you guys have been to heaps of places! New Zealand is 100% on our list to road trip the mountains look incredible. Glad we could help guys safe travels 👍😊😊
You guys are so genuine and, so lovely and, so perfect for each other. You guys deserve to earn more money from YT, FB, or IG. Hope you will soon. All the best to you guys 👍
Hey guys. Great video and very informative. You mentioned that you started with $35k for you travels and that you have made money along the way from affiliate marketing, selling images etc Can I ask what sort of income you are now generating through these various channels? Reason for asking is to understand the impact on the budget required to do these travels. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Hey mate thanks for watching! At the moment because it is all new to us we are only making enough to cover our subscriptions and some bills. We are also in the middle of setting up our website for blogs and affillate links but can see the potential for growth. We believe that 35k could definitely get you around on a lap- of course depending on your time frame!
Hey Peter you definitely do not need to be a tradesman! We have seen older people working in caravan parks, picking fruit on farms, and plenty of retail and hospitality joints crying out for staff. For instance today we met an absolute legend older bloke working at a caravan park his job was to drive around on a little scooter showing people where to park the caravans ect. Got talking with him he does a little cleaning and maintenance around the joint and loves meeting new people everyday!
Thanks for watching! As always with these Thursday videos we hope we were able to provide some value (even if we may have rambled slightly! 😅). Let us know if there are any other topics you'd like to see us have a chat about in a future video!
Thank you for the tips and tell us your experience on how to make money living on the road. I'd like to do that. But I have no gut to do it yet 😁
Great video guys xx

It was really informative, thanks
I literally just finished talking about funds & the huge increase of the costs of materials & gear recently with my wife for our fit out. Budgeting is getting harder these days. Good on you for getting out there I'll be 60 next year & we "Still" haven't left, even though we planned too about 30 years ago and work as we went, it just never happened!

Hey mate thanks for watching. Yes the amount that some people are now charging is pretty crazy isn’t it!!
You will 100% get there just keep at it- you’re happy that’s the main thing. We really appreciate your kind words thanks again for watching Rod 😊
You guys are seriously awesome. Your openness and honestly is a refreshing trait to see on youtube. If we look at others like 4xOverland they are always trying to protect their ideas and content. You're like a breath of fresh air every time. This is just the video I was hoping to see one day. I have two channels which I would like to try monetise and your advice is nothing short of Brilliant! Thank You Thank You.
Hey thanks for the comments greatly appreciate it mate.
Keep at it with the channels consistency seems to be the key 🔑
Guys, Congrats on your awesome lifestyle. This is one of the honest vlogs I have seen on youtube so far.
Thanks so much Thilina! That's great to hear.
All credit to you for honestly divulging some of the revenue streams you have found through online exposure. I believe too many others will not divulge for fear of diluting the resource. Sadly too many will not honestly divulge what's propping them up through sheer embarrassment, not wanting to create jealousy and/or relying on an false image of unbias. I think we all know who fits into which barrel. They just think everyone is stupid.
You’re so right!
Yes!!!
Im going to watch all of your videos and watch through all the ads to support you as much as possible

Great stuff guys. Your living your dream!

I will honestly say I have unsubscribed from channels that turn it into a big advertisement. See you on the next vid.
Thanks for that K we are going to definitely keep the channel as authentic as we can for everyone. Thanks for the comment 😊

Got a portable diesel heater? Id suggest if heading into colder areas haha vic hi country? Tassie etc.

Just picked up another sub guys! . This info is really good. How do you go about servicing the troopy. Do you just book it in at a mechanics when you head to towns. Awesome content and good on you two for getting out there, doing what you two want to do! 🤙🤙
Thanks mate! I do as much of the servicing myself as I can, we've done a video in regards to servicing if you want to have a watch- ua-cam.com/video/2b21leB5QVk/v-deo.html
But wheel bearings etc I will try and avoid doing that myself if possible but do hold onto all the parts required just in case we break down on the side of the road or something. Thanks again mate 😊😊
So pleased for you both .. glad you are enjoying your travelling .. cheers Chris & Sam
Thanks for watching guys! 🙏🏼

We spent a while backpacking through Asia and Africa before buying a van in Virginia USA, turning it into a camper and driving South as far as Guatemala before we had to return to NZ in March 2020. We struggled to find videos like this whilst we were saving and wish there was more like it. Personally, we saved as much as we could and had to deal with seeing those negatives. Now we are back at the saving point again and we are thinking of learning more about shares and crypto. We are currently planning an Australia overlanding trip (might see ya on the road) and then one day returning to our van which we have stored in Mexico. I hope your videos inspire more people to get out there and live like this. Keep up the awesome videos!

Hey guys. Great video and very informative. You mentioned that you started with $35k for you travels and that you have made money along the way from affiliate marketing, selling images etc Can I ask what sort of income you are now generating through these various channels? Reason for asking is to understand the impact on the budget required to do these travels. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻
Hey mate thanks for watching!
At the moment because it is all new to us we are only making enough to cover our subscriptions and some bills. We are also in the middle of setting up our website for blogs and affillate links but can see the potential for growth. We believe that 35k could definitely get you around on a lap- of course depending on your time frame!
Loved this video! Just sub'd :)
Thanks Kristal!
great work guys..... question about 'lots of work out their' what if your older and/or not a tradesman does that comment still apply
cheers
Hey Peter you definitely do not need to be a tradesman! We have seen older people working in caravan parks, picking fruit on farms, and plenty of retail and hospitality joints crying out for staff. For instance today we met an absolute legend older bloke working at a caravan park his job was to drive around on a little scooter showing people where to park the caravans ect. Got talking with him he does a little cleaning and maintenance around the joint and loves meeting new people everyday!
