Just wanted you to know that your channel is the only channel I have ever subscribed too, why? Real 4wding, granddad, son and his son a joy to watch, responsible driving and track respect, no habit destruction by burning huge logs for a fire, unpretentious and no macho man crap and the opportunity to watch your pure joy of the experience. Thank you.
Very much agree. I'm subscribed to many 4x4 channels, but Tylers channel is by far my favourite. Very responsible driving, non destructive to the tracks and bush.
and no mention of beer or alcohol every second teaching young boys the bad habit. My 9yo loves these sort of videos but I have to stop watching due to beer promotion. This one is family friendly and encourages my son to be like that young fellow....join in for some good fun.
Thank you! I want to keep enjoying the bush for many years so treat it best I can and we aren't really big drinkers, normally too worn by the end of the day and just go to bed haha
Cody said everything I feel about this channel. Please don't change the way you film/edit, Your storytelling is awesome. Tell your dad to get a rear locker, Iess wheelspin will take the stress off the front diff/cv's. Keep the amazing videos coming!
Hello Tyler and everybody asking about the track rating as double black diamond, I know one of the assessors for the tracks in the Victorian High Country. Once I drove on a track that I thought was an intermediate rating (blue). When I asked the assessor what rating he would put on the track he said 'Black Diamond, possibly Double Black Diamond". When I expressed surprise at such a high rating he told me the ratings are based on people driving a vehicle such as a Subaru withour any modifications. The reason was for insurance. If the track had a lower rating and someone damaged themselves, or their vehicles, then they could claim against ParksVic because they were not warned how dangerous the track is. I have driven Ingeegoodbee Track, Macfarlanes Flat Track and Cobberas Track from east to west and found it took about four hours. I enjoy your videos because they are informative without being macho and destructive to the tracks.
@@TylerThompson90 mate, took two days! It's a tricky track at points in the dry, but this was mental. . . . The rock steps on the cobberas section were especially hard, but my little truck on 31s made it eventually!! Great vid, love ya work 👍
Awesome video mate, love the channel. Having a a 4wd channel that is more about the adventure/destination rather than massive twin locked trucks on 35's is really refreshing. Love your adventures, and you have inspired me to make more time to get amongst it. We did this loop in reverse last Easter. that tricky section on the Cobberas trail was pretty exciting to drive up, but managed to get up it without winching, a fair bit of right boot helped.
Awesome video as usual mate. I sit her every Sunday morning and watch them with my 7 month old daughter in hopes one day she will want to come 4wding/camping with me like Malakai and yourself enjoy together. I’ll also have you know I watch your videos before Ronny’s now as my first go to 4wd video for the morning! P.S how’s that Patreon coming along 😉
Thanks so much mate! Appreciate the feedback and glad you're enjoying the videos :) I did start making a Patreon during the week but its actually a fair bit of work and I don't really know what I'm doing haha. Ill get it sorted ASAP! Cheers!
Easy to get into Macfarlane Flat a bit harder to get out. I drove my passenger rear tyre over that rock that your dad was standing on. Never been so close to disaster as that time. Been on to parks to work on those couple of bad spots. Not game to go back in until they do. Climbing out of Ingeegoodbie creek is a lot more difficult than it looks on video. Love your work
Great track, done it solo a couple times. Shame its still closed, took a mate brand new to wheeling in his stock unlocked disco 2 on 31s there on qbw in 2020 just before it closed (and has been since). Hasnt been reopened due to budget or checking for aboriginal heritage, what a joke. It was very rough. We didnt get started until late and did most of the track at night. Had to get the winch out at 14:50. This and billy goats the next day, what an introduction to 4wding 😂 so enjoyable sinking cans in the passenger seat providing encouragement and spotting and playing winch boy. Its such a great drive, "remote". That entire far north east area of the VHC and into NSW (walk in only) is special. Shame about the wild horses trashing the joint though
Another great video I was in a position where everything was on my tailgate I needed to winch and needed some other recovery gear But I didn’t think and opened the tailgate and crap was tumbling down the mould What a mission recovering all the gear
We did this same trip in May in the opposite direction. We had a small rainshower come through about an hour before the really rough bit. We all had to winch up those steps on the Cobberas - Very Challenging!! Really sorted out the men from the boys on this track. Last time we did it 6 years ago you could get a pretty much standard 4wd through. Not any more.
Great video mate. We did the Ingeegoodbee/Macfarlane/Cobberas track east-west a couple of years ago, was certainly a good challenge. Heading back to the high country tomorrow
Definitely would be harder going east to west, we got lucky and unintentionally went the easier way haha. Enjoy the trip mate! Already can't wait to get back
Great vid. Been wanting to drive this track but has been closed for years. According to Parks VIC this track reopens tomorrow after being closed for so long but Ingeegoodbee track is still closed. So would need to drive back out the same way.
Awesome vid and great drive mate. Thinking of doing an Easter trip from Mansfield. Missed Craig’s Hut last trip so might head in that direction. Will def put this trip on my ‘to do’ list for sure!
Hi Tyler. Just want to get some info on indeegooddee track from Barry way to MacFarlane turn off. How difficult is it going in that direction? Awsome vedios by the way mate. Keep it up. Love watching them.
As always look forward to your Sunday morning vid’s Even though I’m a nissan owner as well , I couldn’t help but notice you drooling at the 70 series cruiser. 😳
Ha, there's some nostalgia for ya! That West to East drive to McKillops Bridge; I did that on my Harley a couple of years ago due to a. . . navigational oversight (aka. Google Maps didn't mention that it turned to dirt for 65kms). Still a good little adventure on a 375kg touring Harley though haha
I noticed there was a sigh on a tree at the beginning of a track, had a trailer with a line though it. Hard to make out on my phone, is it no trailers or trailers not recommend, how often does this happen?
Another great video Tyler. Haven't been through the Cobberas, so yet another trip you've put me onto! Looking forward to the next instalment. Loving your stuff, but still waiting for your dad to front the camera!! Your camera work really is amazing. Must be a lot of running up hill to set it up! Thanks for all the effort! Cheers. PP
Hey budy another track recommending to you mount wellington track right to sentinals, butcher country track and burgoynes track west of licola glenmaggie rd, south of licola if you ever have some good amount of time
Hey mate, I have seen a couple of those tracks and keen to do them! Was thinking of doing Mt Wellington and Butcher Country etc next high country trip Cheers!
Is there any chance now that you could put written time estimates going from A to B so we know how to budget our time if we replicate the drive? It would obviously be on same conditions basis as wet would change the tracks considerably.
I could mate but I reckon it would just throw most people off and then they would get annoyed with me haha. It changes so much depending on conditions, how many 4wds, what speed you travel, how many stops you make for lunch, swims etc, whether you run into any trouble/winching on the track. But the biggest issue I would have is our travel speed is a lot slower of anyone else due to all the filming so can be very hard for me to say how long it would take if you aren't filming.
Had you gone maybe a kilometre or so further down Limestone Road, you would have come to a track on the left, Ram's Horn Track, that takes you to the Ram's Horn. It's a short walk to the top and gives you great views over Native Dog Flat (a great campsite) and the mountains to the west. All these XX tracks are generally overrated as we've done quite a few of them since they were recently marked and they aren't that difficult. Unmarked tracks around the Dargo area are much more difficult than the supposedly marked difficult ones. McFarlane Track has some great campsites just after the McFarlane Flat Hut, plenty of Brumbies in the evening as well. Where the Ingeegoodbee Track meets the Snowy River Road, if you turn left, about three kilometres on there's a track on your right that takes you to the Snowy River and some reasonable campsites. The Snowy River Road had a major collapse a few years ago and isolated Suggan Buggan for a few weeks or so until it was fixed. There's also a great campsite before McKillops Bridge marked as Little River Junction, 4WD access only and right on the Snowy. Must go back that way soon.
Thanks for all the tips mate! Sounds like I've got a few good places to visit next time I'm back down that way. Yep I do find the ratings are a bit all over the place. The Davies Plain was easier then I expected but the tracks we did in this video definitely had challenging bits! We did see that Little River Junction turnoff but it was already dark so decided to just get to the main campground at Mckillops bridge quickly.
Always happy to pass on information about tracks and camping in the High Country. You might get some ideas about future trips here: australianimage.com.au/category/the-high-country/. The search box will generally find stories about specific tracks that we've done.
Hey Tyler, At Easter we are looking to get away to Willis Campground on the Barry Way for first overnight and then next morn8n* head to Dargo via Limestone Rd (track) onto Benambra and to make it to Dargo for next overnight. What are your thoughts about Limestone Track , I have Mitsubishi Triton towing Black Series off-road camper, I am very experienced but not sure about the track usual,conditions for towing. Keep up the great videos mate they are really entertaining. Cheers Rob
Hey mate, well there is limestone creek track and then there is limestone road. It sounds like you're talking about limestone road which is just a main 2wd dirt road so definitely no dramas on it. But if you're talking about limestone creek track then a little risky with a trailer, some very steep hills on it and a couple are very chopped up. Cheers!
Tyler can you please tell me what sort of modifications you did to the Navara? I can't spend zillions - have Pirelli ATR Pluses already for tyres but still very stock vehicle otherwise. Small range fuel tank, low clearance are two of my concerns. It is an ST-X NP300 vehicle. After my lease ends I am planning to keep it.
@@TylerThompson90 .Great vids. Love watching them. Very inspirational. Check out lokka for a diff locker. Australian made with no pumps or electrics to go wrong and seem to be a much more affordable price than others. I have no experience with them but looking to get one when I have to finances. Maybe also a brass monkey fridge/freezer unit which is also at a reasonable price with 3 year warranty. Jaycar and other places sell them.
From last week with another great video. Can I ask if you think the direction you have travelled these tracks would be easier than in reverse? I run a hilux similarly built to your navara; basic lift , good AT’s and the car has no traction aids or lockers but would do it solo. Looking forward to more clips, keep up the good work
Thank you! Yeah the direction we did it would definitely be easier, in my opinion its a little risky doing it on your own in that set up but you would probably be okay providing you've got some experience and a winch.
Enjoy your vids Tyler but the way you pass these tracks off as easy shows your inexperience in the HC . You are driving these tracks in the best conditions possible , try these tracks in the wet Tyler and tell me their as easy as you say they are . I think you should have mentioned this as your commentary lulls less experienced people into thinking its a walk in the park .
Hey mate, I did say clearly a couple of times in this video that this track is difficult/challenging and I wouldn't recommend coming out in a stock 4wd or without experience, that you're a long way from help and need to know what you're doing. Definitely with the Davies Plain Track I did say it was easy which it was in the dry, but I did also say clearly in that episode too that if you were drive it in the wet it would be much more challenging. People are always going to have different opinions and ideas of whether a track is hard or easy and its very hard to tell from the camera. I just try and give people a bit of a rough idea of what they are going into. Cheers!
@@TylerThompson90 You did mention that you were far from help , which it is and it doesn't have a double black rating for nothing . I did it the reverse from you guys in November and it was medium to hard in spots , i also did it 3 years ago in the wet and it was a totally different track , it was every bit a double black track , very tough , on that trip we also did Davies Plain track and it was also very tough . I really enjoy your vids mate and don't want to sound to critical but that was the easiest you will drive those tracks . Look forward to more of your adventures .
Top vid as usual. Pretty accurate assessment of tracks all round by I think. Knocking around this area for 35 years or so and have been stopped several times in a Carolla engined Sierra as well as recently in the current D Max on the steep bits you identified. Even my rear locked GQ was stopped near Cobberras in the rain. As you said it is very different in the wet. Don't change anything. A unique style. ta.

Hello, thanks for the information! Thats good to know :). Glad you're enjoying the videos
Just did this track in opposite direction few days ago, pissing rain . . . Yep plenty of winching!! Insanity 👍
That would have been wild! Wet always makes things much more interesting haha

Well done mate great Sunday entertainment. As soon as it stopped I got dirty thinking “now what am I going to watch “.
Cheers mate! Haha next one will be out next weekend :)
Epic, thanks Tyler. Another awesome movie man. Love your pure enjoyment & respect for these amazing places. You are a great ambassador for 4 wheeling.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback :)
Videos just seem to be getting better and better, Tyler. Absolutely love your work.
Thank you! Appreciate it :)
Wicked mate, another pearler of a trip
Thanks mate, sure was!
Great trip so far! Amazing views and countryside down in those parts. Looking forward to the next installment
Thanks mate! High country is such an amazing place! Already keen to get back
Another ripper mate...now I really have track envy.
Thanks mate! It was a great drive that day
Have not seen this part of the high country before. Will be adding these tracks to my list to explore. Cheers for the awesome vid.
Cheers mate, they were some awesome tracks!
Another great vid Tyler. Taking note of these tracks for future reference. Views are absolutely stunning. Looking forward to the next episode👍😁
Cheers mate! Trying to get one out every weekend :)
Done it again awesome vid. Those drone shots are spectacular.
Thanks mate! Yep some of these tracks look amazing from the drone
Another great video
I was in a position where everything was on my tailgate I needed to winch and needed some other recovery gear
But I didn’t think and opened the tailgate and crap was tumbling down the mould
What a mission recovering all the gear
Thanks mate! Yeah I've had that issue with the tailgate a couple of times where you go to get something out and can't on steep hills, pretty annoying.

What a rad place the VHC is...That's on the bucket list for sure...👌🍻...
Yep its an amazing place down there!

Loving the videos mate, just got my NP300 yesterday, and been watching your videos over the last week sussing out some great places to go.
Cheers mate! Plenty of great places to get out and explore, hopefully your NP300 is as good as mine has been!
Another great clip Tyler. Cheers Steve
Cheers mate!
Awesome vid and great drive mate. Thinking of doing an Easter trip from Mansfield. Missed Craig’s Hut last trip so might head in that direction. Will def put this trip on my ‘to do’ list for sure!
Thanks mate! Its definitely worth heading over there to check it out. We ended up over Craig's Hut and Mansfield way at the end of this trip
Great vid once again mate,It just makes me want to get down there and do some tracks 👍
Thanks mate! Its a great area down there!
Hi Tyler. Just want to get some info on indeegooddee track from Barry way to MacFarlane turn off. How difficult is it going in that direction? Awsome vedios by the way mate. Keep it up. Love watching them.
As always look forward to your Sunday morning vid’s
Even though I’m a nissan owner as well , I couldn’t help but notice you drooling at the 70 series cruiser. 😳
Thanks mate! Haha that V8 does sound good and very capable with the twin lockers!
Awesome tracks you chose well done
Thanks mate!
Yep that Cobberas track is so rocky and rough its slow going, now your at Mckillops time to do the Deddick trail and Jacksons Crossing.
Sure is! Yep thats exactly what we did haha
Tyler Thompson that should make a good vid
Another good video. Liking your style of travel videos. Keep it up mate. See you on tracks
Don.M
Thanks mate!
Ha, there's some nostalgia for ya! That West to East drive to McKillops Bridge; I did that on my Harley a couple of years ago due to a. . . navigational oversight (aka. Google Maps didn't mention that it turned to dirt for 65kms). Still a good little adventure on a 375kg touring Harley though haha
Haha that definitely would have been an interesting one mate! Im sure you still would have been glad you got to see the area!
Awsome Tyler like the way you explain where are etc 😎
Thank you! :)
Wonderful nature
I can’t wait to see part 3👍🏼
Cheers!
Another great video mate 👍, what are great track that was.
Cheers mate! Sure was
I noticed there was a sigh on a tree at the beginning of a track, had a trailer with a line though it.
Hard to make out on my phone, is it no trailers or trailers not recommend, how often does this happen?

Great video mate.
Thanks mate :)
WE ALL LOOK SO MUCH YOUNGER 5 YEARS AGO.
Another good video! 👍🏻
Thanks mate!
Great stuff. The camera really doesn't show how steep those tracks are!
Thank you! No definitely not, they look like flat ground a lot of the time haha
Best trip. Thanks mate
Thanks mate!
Great video Tyler. Loving the content. Would love to know what drone you use for your videos. Cheers 😊
Thank you! Using the DJI Mavic Air for all this footage :)
Hey budy another track recommending to you mount wellington track right to sentinals, butcher country track and burgoynes track west of licola glenmaggie rd, south of licola if you ever have some good amount of time

Interesting that going from 16psi to 14psi is much of a change?
Not massive but definitely can notice it. 16 down to 14 gives you a difference of about 13-14%
yeh northern nsw we are locked out its crazy
Yeah plenty of that area is very locked up
awesome, cheerz

Lockers would be a good investment .

Top vid as usual. Pretty accurate assessment of tracks all round by I think. Knocking around this area for 35 years or so and have been stopped several times in a Carolla engined Sierra as well as recently in the current D Max on the steep bits you identified. Even my rear locked GQ was stopped near Cobberras in the rain. As you said it is very different in the wet. Don't change anything. A unique style. ta.
Cheers mate!
