“Spooning pretty hard” haha. Another great video mate, thanks great way to start a wet brissy morning 🙏🙏👍😎
Good to have you back, sir. Keep 'em coming.
Nice to see you got your adventure mojo back . Enjoy it all and thank you.
My wife and I really enjoyed this Erik. She grew up not far from there and now lives in Sydney, though we visit family in your country regularly. We are now very much looking forward to doing such a hike-camp and appreciate your efforts, wonderful content and excellent production skills as well! You have left us in suspense and we will await your next instalment with a great anticipation. Cheers from Sydney - Dave PS. I'm planning an overnight kayak-camp with my daughter in the next week or so - will be great fun!
Great to see you back out in the bush mate. The new tent looks great. Cheers Trav.
Thanks Erik for another enjoyable trip, love your trips whenever they come out 😊, looked a very relaxing stroll through beautiful country, despite the noisy neighbours😅
Fantastic bushwalk; I’m glad you managed to get out. That spot isn’t too far from me, either, so you’ve encouraged me to go check it out. If anything, I like that area when it rains. There’s something magical about that country when it’s cold.
Thanks for the video and good luck with the bubba 😊
nice looking tent, and a nice place for a hike and camp. People don't understand when I try and explain Skippy lol
Another ripper video V Dub. Really fun to watch.
Thanks mate
Awesome clip brother! 👌🏽
There's no shortage of big roos in that area and they're living off the fat of the land. Wonderful to see those old gnarly trees. ATVB Erik. Let's do more in '24. Bushyboy Oz.
I think Mexican Chilli would the last meal I would take camping. 😂 Great video as alway Erik.
Good to see you back! Real Life and Work comes before fun and hobbies. Get out when you can ;)
That is a beautiful bit of country. Would be a great place to take the kids. Thank you, and have a good Chrissie.
Call this an early Chrissy present. All the best mate, loved the upload and can’t wait to see what ‘24 brings
Really enjoyed this, such a gorgeous location. Thanks for sharing with us and merry Christmas
Great to hear, thank you. Merry Christmas to you too
👍Great Video. Merry Christmas 🎉
Nice one Erik, I'll have to make a few videos soon myself - Merry Christmas mate!
Another awesome trip to watch - thanks
Another great walk and camp, thanks for taking us along and sharing it. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Wayne, Merry Christmas to you and yours too.
Take a brolly with you mate. Light as, immediate shelter from the rain and sun and keeps you dryer and shadier than you’d expect and makes a great quick shelter for a bite to eat under. We used them in the army, believe it or not.
Thank you,merry Christmas
Same to you!
Great video. Looks like the plovers calmed down eventually 😀
Haha eventually
Merry Christmas Erik, thanks for the video. I'm pretty sure I know the location, beautiful country down that way.
Merry Christmas to you too
Merry Christmas bud! HAppy to see you pop up in my feed, looking forward to watching this.
Thanks mate, merry Christmas
I've got the same Neve Gear Wallaroo pack V1. 48l + 15l external. Just back from 5 nights in Tassie. A tight squeeze but got all the gear and food in.
Did you get dive-bombed by the plovers haha? I remember trying to play a game of football while dodging those bloody things at the same time! Really great catching up with you again Erik - all the best for the mentioned 'life changes' ahead!
Good to see you back man. What a great location
Great and relaxing video Mate... perfect for a Christmas Eve arvo. I'm actually going to dig into some cheese and crackers too, but might have a beer instead 🍻
I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the time and effort you take to film them, edit them and upload them when you do... worth the wait 😃
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, your Family and fellow Subscribers... and see you in 2024! 😎
Thanks mate, hope the cheese plate and beer went down a treat! Merry Christmas to you and your family too. See you in 2024!
Nice video Eric, enjoyed the longer one with the camp set up and all, lovely scenery, hope all is good for you with the Changes you have coming, and your content is always worth waiting for and watching when you get it out, 👍👌
Yes thanks Erik
Glad you enjoyed it, Cheers Erik
cheers Eric, nice one. Love that sort of country side and it's great having it on our doorstep. Thanks for taking us along, love the plovers ✌🏻 Happy Christmas!
Thanks for watching and happy Christmas to you too!
Erik! Great to have you back. Awesome location - have camped there myself many times. Hope there’s not too long to wait until the next one!
Hi, would I be close with Long Plain area? Really like the look of this country.
I thought it was up towards Lutons Crutching Shed area in Namadgi. Old Boboyan Road locale.
That country looks amazing. I would love to ride my Gravel bike along those fire trails, where is it?
Great solo adventure my friend, shots are amazing!
Thank you
Good to see you out on a local adventure. When you have such a nice 'backyard' it is a shame to not make the most of it. :)
Wishing you all the best for the new year.
Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks mate, all the best to you too.
Mate...good stuff...I am home with Christmas Covid. This video will cheer me up.
Glad I can bring some cheer, hope the recovery is swift
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Merry Christmas happy new year Erik
To you too Eric, have a great holidays
@@ERIKOFFTRACK see you on your next Erik all the best for your tomorrows, happy travels
That track would have been perfect for an electric mountain bike. BTW> Those 'pavers' would have come from the top of the chimney. God knows what happened to the rest of the house, but with a hearth that big, that had to have been a huge house.
Beautiful spot, good to see the kangaroo population keeping the long grass in check
Sangat bagus tempat nya
I can't remember if I've seen you with a quilt before Eric but I tell ya, I'd be very surprised if you tried a quilt and didn't become an instant convert. I have two of the Alton versions and while they are pricy, damn they are good. The freedom of movement is awesome. F*ck those plovers too😂
Total pests!
Haha total pests indeed! Yeah I'm hoping to try a quilt in the new year, interested to see how they go. Cheers Erik
Once I saw the "WOKE" aboriginal country message at the beginning of this video, I turned off. A pity, because I otherwise enjoy this kind of content. Good luck with the future...............
If you're offended by a simple act of respect and acknowledgent to those that shaped and managed these amazing lands for thousands of years, then yep, this isn't the channel for you.
@@ERIKOFFTRACK I'm not offended at all. Like many people, I've simply had enough of the leftist political statements forced upon us, within our woke society. I also have as much respect for Aboriginal people, as you do. I have the same respect for every other race of people in this world too. It's taken for granted. We don't need to constantly prove it. It's become tiresome. Especially at sporting events, on Qantas flights, government websites, on the ABC and such like.
