Around about 2010 the team at 4WD Action HQ wanted to bring in a whole lot more camper trailer stuff. We had another magazine called 'Camper Trailer Touring' edited by ex-Navy man Colin Broad. Now, apart from being a 3 litre Nissan GU owner - hahahaha - Col was a great bloke and very knowledgeable when it came to towing off-road. He bought his own independent suspension TL8 along and I towed my family Trackabout - since gone to a new young family since my lot all graduated to swags.
I also took the Red Truck, mostly because with 360hp of big V8 she's an absolute beast of a sneaky tow truck.
Although you can hardly call anything Big Red does ‘sneaky’ thanks to a 360 horsepower V8 dumping out a Cookie pipe big enough for rabbits to copulate in. With buckets of torque and a tough automatic feeding through a Gearmaster equipped transfer, Red’s perfect for pulling a trailer just about anywhere. In fact the biggest problem I had all week was remembering I had a trailer...
We also took along Richard and Melinda Hennessy who brought along their girls Masie and Chloe and the family’s Mountain Trail camper. The Hennessys - no relation to the Cognac company despite the $4000 bottle of ‘Nackers called the ‘Richard Hennessy’ - come from High Country stock. Richard’s family farm is just out of Jamieson so it’s no surprise that the Mansfield end of the High Country is where they spend most of their free weekends.
They’ve been camping out since well before the girls came along but like so many of us they haven’t slowed down because of kids, they’ve just expanded their lifestyle to include them.
Bringing kids up in the camping lifestyle, letting them see and feel first hand this wonderful land we’re privileged to live in, is the best start an Australian life can get.
The Hennesy’s Mountain Trail was originally built in Albury along conventional strong lines with a beam axle and a tent that’s big enough for a family on a wet weekend. It was a bargain at $4000 second hand, and just goes to show that you don’t always need a lot of money to get the job done. Rich had more mods in mind before the Hennessys set off on their round Australia trip. Yep, they were out to get the big trip done then before the kids grew up!
So that makes this particular dvd really good watching for anyone in to towing off-road. It's also set in some of the best and most little known country close to a capital city, the magnificent Brindabella Ranges. Check it out!

A 4WD show without relentless plugs for merchandise. What a refreshing approach.
Ah, the good old days!
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY indeed. As usual loving the old movies. Have you still got the red truck?
@@bigfellasydney6970 nah he sold red
I'm from the U.S. and am just now realizing just how old 4WD Action really is!
@@ethanissan5012 Ruthy gave amazing details on the destinations. Their history and the culture. 4WD 24/7 seems solely to dive into the vehicles and their capabilities during track testing. I believe if Graham was given more creative control their would be more of a learning aspect behind 24/7.
@@ethanissan5012 I wish Graham would be more active with his AusSolo series. Loved watching those videos. They were authentic and deep in detail. He showed great knowledge, appreciation in the history and culture of his travels.
@@bladenrexroth2555 I much prefer Graham's solo adventures over 24/7 anyway. 👍
Bloody brilliant old episode that one cobba hope ya well cheers
Onya Roothy... Keep em coming mate.
Hi Matty C 👋
Used to live at Wee Jasper beautiful place, sadly the tavern burnt down a year ago or so . But still worth a visit head up doctors flat road and head into gentle Annie's track awesome fun but be very careful in the wet or winter it does snow up there
Much appreciated John that this stuff is for free on UA-cam. I’ve been binge watching almost everything you’ve been posting and can’t get enough of it , truly. You have no idea how much I’m enjoying this content. You truly are a salt of the earth kind of person. Greetings from Cape Town.
Driving monkey gum in the rain at night oh and I nearly forgot towing camper trailers love to know who spat the dummy first. Roothyholes had me rolling on the floor.
Why make it easy eh? Bent the trailer feet a few times...
I love that logger box tray on the red truck. I seen them in Canada everywhere I went .
Built from camper trailer panels - dead easy and yep, styled off the old US 'pick ups'
thanks Roothy, needed this.
Haha don’t know what the bloke in the Nissan was thinking when he drove off the river bank! Rookie!
He drives a Nissan enough said lol
@@jasegonebush1883 only have to bring them down the river in some soft sand and it's all over they boil over or a z30 they exploded lol
@@jasegonebush1883 not arguing there the rangers are pretty gay as are the other new 4 cylinder utes my missis cousin bought a rover on the 1st trip towing a van it blow up I told them don't buy it but they knew better . Yeh old school for the win my old boys cruiser is about to hit 900,000 and still going strong mines only just near 170,000 just starting it's life off
@@jasegonebush1883 yeh there boxes of shit got no low down torque and only get power once you rev the fuck out of them many of times I've scall dragged one in soft river sand bogged on its guts
Thanks so much for sharing this again Roothy. It’s great to see genuine enjoyable 4wding. After watching the latest 4wdaction vid last night at yahwal, it’s great to see how a normal Aussie approaches it! I’m sure it’s different now though.
Beautiful country Roothy, wish I could get back around there again.
BTW, when you said good Aussie tucker and I saw the mince I
instantly thought mcCacky-- whoops sorry McDonalds!!!
Hahaha - no big M here mate!
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY Must be the only place in the world there isnt,
even here in the Philippines we suffer it. Only been in there twice
neither by choice.
@@ivanolsen8596 Roothy just means no Big M in the bush or in his videos. Every town with a population 10k+ has one here in Aus too
Pubs like the stables have atmosphere.
Thanks for posting this one. I've never been able to get it on DVD or anything but here it is!
This was filmed in March 2010. It seems like yesterday! After the DVD we headed of for around Oz.
@@OffroadTouringLife Yep, you said that was the next gig - good to hear you made it!
Hi Roothy, I've been following you for a long time & I love what you do as we're simillar age & I've done a fair bit of wheelin myself. I'm sure you don't mean any offence to your female viewers when you call your under performers,( a bunch of girls) but that's doing you any favers by the women in my family. Might want to get with the program & not use words that put women down. Women are awesome & deserve respect from us blokes, not sexist put downs, how ever unintended.
I hope I have'nt offended you old mate because I really do like what you do😁
Could you please post the Victorian High Country episode when you are in the red hummer if you have it? That would be great.
I'd love to if I coould find it - has anyone got one? I'll keep looking.....
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY I used to watch that DVD when i was a young fella, loved it.
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHYDVD's title is" Cool Runnings". "Roothy hits the High Country in a H3 Hummer". Yep it looks red on the cover. How to upload these DVDs?
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY I think I have a DVD with you in a red truck. Don't think it had a V8 in it though
aaah, my back yard when i had a SWB FJ40 :). quick question, back in the day, opinion was narrow mud tyres and normal pressure to dig down to the hard stuff, watching a number of your vids, seems consensus is , and provnd , is wide and low pressure is the go for mud and sand as well as loose rock .
Nothing wrong with narrow tyres, the current trend has more to do with - trendy looks, and marketing. However it is all about tyre pressure whatever you've got - narrow tyres give a nice long footprint when deflated. In my opinion - because opinions change!
hi john!! when are we getting more mahindra pik up videos???
All that convict blood 😂
País : BRASIL 🇧🇷
Estado : Ceará
Cidade : Fortaleza
👏👏👏👏👏
Trying to work out where that river crossing he got bogged is... i spend most weekends in the Brindies and there isn’t any river crossings like that anywhere on open tracks...
And they were driving so close down those steep descents with trailers on...
It's Charleyong crossing on the Shoslhaven River. Not in the Brindies. Colin bogged deliberately for filming. They play with the order of what they filmed in the editing process.
“Rooth holes”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Advert for Hayman ??
Her Roothy was big red on gas (LPG) or just fuel ?
Just fuel mate and plenty of it 🤟🍺
Is there anywhere we can download the GPS track?
What's the name of that old tavern your stopped at?
The pub we stopped at was the Wee Jasper Tavern.
4wd action and 4wd 24/7 used to be the same entity? I’m confused 😐
4wd supacentre and 4wdaction and 4wd24/7 are all the same mob. They rebranded from 4wdaction to 4wd24/7 a short while ago.
@@NickS-mt8mf these guys just make their own videos? They don’t make videos with Shauno and Graham?
Its a shame the track yakka streaming service isn't more like this. I was really disappointed to find it was just a dozen different hard advertising programs. I was so excited to try it out and over 24 hours I went through as much as I could searching for something that wasn't a half hour advertisement or 5 min teaser. When you pay for a service it should have subtle product placement and not just be a run of infomercials with some outdoor action. Cmon Roothy. Make stuff like this again. Ill pay $10 a month or even more if its less scripted and not the 20 year old formula of what ends up being a 2am show on a commercial TV channel.
26:27 a little bit too burned
The gum looks a bit different these days. Everything is bigger
The world's growing up eh?
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY yeah it is. We went through yesterday. It was heavily effected by the fires and then the floods but like the Bush does it's bouncing back and looking greener than ever. It's deffanatly somewhere that you really need flex lockers and a winch now
This is what we want 4wd action whent to utter shit
POS glamper trailers :/
