Glad you made this video…. I stopped watching “said family” the more money they made the more unrelatable and stuck up they got. You guys kept it real ❤
We were devastated when you stopped travelling unlike said family we stopped watching them because even from our lounge room we could see they had become YT snobs. Other creators shared time together which from a viewer point of view saw them as down to earth Aussies. Showing your every day life with no fancy dresses and loads of makeup and enough jewellery to look like a tackle box, your children were always well maintained, this made you part of our lives you shared the raw truth about travelling. We love you guys and are proud to say we are part of your YT family and wish you every success in your future ventures, just remember to take us with you. Kind Regards Jenny
Hey, love u guys so honest and down to earth. Its ashame you have got to put up with antics of said family. I stopped watching said family a couple of years ago as they become too commericalised pushing all these products. It a bit like watching commercial tv. Wish you guys all the best with future adventures. Keep up the good wwork.
You guys are more genuine then any other big travelling families, the others are too commercialized for my liking, It feels like they are just a travelling advertising board. Your family is more down to earth and a lot more enjoyable to watch.
Thanks for the update and honesty - not surprising! Congratulations on your marriage too❤. Love your future ideas .-hopefully it all comes together - especially by 2025- we’d love to visit . Love you’re still doing episodes.
This was brilliant! Great to see your family back on the screen. Thank you for your honesty. Shame, but not surprising about the downsides of that industry. Very excited for your next chapter, wishing you the absolute best.
Absolutely love your honesty guys. We have followed your travels for quite sometime & absolutely love how real you are. Gave up following “said family” some time back, total flogs haha! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you both 👏🏼 Keep it real kids!
Awesome to see you guys back. Loved hearing the inside scoop on what things are really like. So sorry you were treated that way by “said family”. I guess take it as a compliment that they were so threatened by you! Can’t wait to see what you guys do next. I don’t comment that often but we have followed you guys from the very start and will continue to do so. Glad you had the break you needed and congrats on the wedding 🥳
Onwards and upwards, we love your new vision for the future doing what you do best bringing happy travellers together and keeping this community strong. Good to see your faces back on our screens.
Glad to see you back with your life stories, was sad to see you leave the travel world at the time. Now it makes so much sense. Btw can see so many other travellers I would say suffering from the same issues. It must be hard. I would never do the RUclips thing as I know it is so much work, but thankful for what people like you, that do it. 🙏
So great to catch up with you guys again. Just Subscribed once more thankyou for beinging so honest it means so much!! We're well aware the other family your refering to.
You guys were the first travelling family I started watching. You got me hooked. I was lost when you guys stopped delivering videos. Forced me to start following other families. You guys inspired me to dream of getting our own van and start exploring this beautiful country. It’s taken a while but I can now say we have bought our first van and expecting delivery in a few months. We have locked in a trip to the cape for 2025. So big Thank-you for the inspiration.
Great episode guys You’re still a massive inspiration for us. If anything we are relieved that traveling for the joy of being with family is reason enough . ❤
Congrats on your wedding, guys. It’s great to see you all looking so well and happy. But, and I don’t intend to offend you, it took you such a long time to deliver your message in this video. You could have said what you needed in about 10minutes. What you went through was totally normal and to be expected. I have to say, I was also disappointed with your party story; this is also part of life and something all families go through; resilience and good grace would have been a better way to handle this rather than bad mouthing another family, who are people, not your competition. I’m looking forward to seeing where you all go from here. Happy days! 😊
Like many others have commented, I too stopped watching “the other family” a long time ago as it was basically a series of hawking merch and “look at what we’ve got” videos. They also don’t come across well at all these days. They’re now on the “don’t watch pile alongside the Titanium couple and your mates n The Lotus! Will be interesting to see how they respond to their brand being questioned!
Thanks for keeping us all in the loop. Cannot wait for your idea to come to fruition, we will definitely come and stay on your property. Hope you feel better getting all that off your chest! Another great ep.
We were sad to see you go. The said family you mention may have started out relatable and easy to watch but they became stuck up and unrealistic. Hubby and I now have a caravan and are planning our retirement because of your travels. You made it seem possible. Thankyou.❤
Gee I have missed you guys. Thanks so much for updating us on what you are doing and have in the pipeline. Not surprised to hear abt your negative experience with the competitors. Love your honesty. Xx
I actually wasnt awareof your chanel but another person i folliw told me about this clip. I have now subscribed as i apprecuated your honesty about the life of fulltime travel. I like many have stopped following TIAV but had no idea of how riuthless and competitive the YT market is. Looking forward to your fututr content.
G’day BigOz… Chris & Sian… Great to see you back on the “TUBE” Can’t wait to see what you guys have for us followers of your adventures around our great country!! “Congratulations on your wonderful Wedding Day “
Travelling in a caravan sucked balls. I only lasted 6 months and sold the POS. The price of fuel, van parks, hip camps, food etc just saw the bank account going South. I also missed my shed!!!!!
Hey guys, we were just talking about you all the other day, wondering where you have been. Have missed your fun videos. Thanks for this open and honest video, never knew that travelling is sooo competitive. I can understand why you gave up the whole scene. Stay happy and healthy, will still be a loyal follower. Cheers from FNQ 👍
Love the honesty of you both and enjoy what was said, happy to see you both being positive about every and great to see where you guys are now. Can’t wait to see more content, been watching you guys from the start!
Hi guys. Glad to see your video and that you are doing really well. Exciting to hear about your next adventure and plans. Looking forward to seeing it. And maybe coming and visiting and getting to meet you both. I’ve followed you from the beginning and was sad to see you stop travelling. But had assumed a lot of what you talked about in your video, and is completely understandable. As for that other family that we won’t mention. I always thought you guys were the real deal and not fake like them. Which was why I unsubscribed from them a long time ago. Their videos felt like nothing more than a look at me type ad the entire time, whereas you guys were always relatable and down to Earth. So please don’t ever change that. (Which I don’t think you would). 😊
So glad to see you both back...just caught up, but Im out, I wish you all the best, but bagging out another family for their life choices was so not necessary. 😢
Oh how I have missed you!! So great to see you and listen to your awesome plans. Patiently waiting for bookings to open 🤩 Love the honesty and sharing of behind the scenes, so real. So happy you are back 🥳
It's great to see this ep BOE ! The market is flooded now with noise and rubbish. It was great to see you guys run different trips to different locations which weren't super pumped adverts, but family adventures. I am really disappointed my wife and I didnt say hello at Punsand Bay in 2020, we were super nervous and a little shy. I am really looking forward to your next adventures. Goodluck with the property hunt. Maybe, and I know this is like "show us ya rig " eps, but maybe have visitors show their setups, or tips they have, for everyone to enjoy. Non-biased, real people with their real families and lives with great recipes, or trick to pack up their gear or gadgets they can't live without (my wife loves a gadget). Whatever amazing ideas you come up with, enjoy all the things. You both look and sounds great, even with the snot :P
Great to see you back. I have been a follower since the beginning. We even exchanged a few messages with editing hints in the very early days. RUclips burnout is a very common thing so don't ever feel bad about putting the camera down. Watching your little montage, the thing that really stood out was how much your kids have grown. They will love re-watching all these vids as they get older. I'm excited about your future plans and will definitely book a visit with my van. Yes, I'm another one of those that you inspired to get out there. 🙂
Thankyou for this video. I was only wondering a couple of days what you guys are up to. All the best for the future. I am guessing that the family in questions has a four letter acronym.
Love you guys, love how real you guys are. I was so pleased to have met you that day in Anaconda. Can’t wait to come and visit with you when you have it up and running. Good luck to you both. What an exciting 2024 ❤
My wife and I have loved watching your videos, they have been fantastic. So thankyou for your awesome work and we wish you all the best for your future.
So lovely to see you guys on screen again 😀 Thanks for your honesty! You have been missed but we totally understand the need to change course in life and family always comes first 👨👩👧👦😀 Meeting you at the Wee Jasper camp out was wonderful and we look forward to your new adventures and camping out with you again 🏕️
Our paths crossed briefly at the Cygnet Bay pearl farm where you brought your pendant. We had a very brief chat but Jack was not playing the game at the time. It's great to see you guys settled into a new phase of your life. I think why some of the other RUclipsrs will be losing following is because they have lost the image of being down to basics normal people in that people don't relate to them anymore with their mega expensive rigs etc that are out unobtainable to Joe average. You guys did it in a affordable setup that made people think we can do that! Very interesting hearing about the reality of try to keep the cashflow rolling in while on the road. The environment has changed big time with so many other "me to" travellers as well as not having the travel restrictions so we can now travel freely overseas again. You did it at a unique time and in a way had a captive audience. I also believe that there comes a time where the children of the travelling families need to have more social interaction with other kids (schools, sports etc) and there comes a time when all travellers need a base camp for a period of time. Thanks for sharing the reality of being a social media slave revealing the positives and the negatives. We have very good friends who's son has a very big 4x4 social media presence and see the challenges that go with it. Enjoy planning your new venture and when it's up and running I am sure you will get plenty of support. P.S DO you still have a van parked up or did you sell it?
Thank you for your feedback & totally agree. We have sold the van (for now) there was no point having an expensive asset sitting for a year being unused and aging! We don’t need something that grand with only short trips now and a plan to set up stumps 😊😊
Great to see you guys back 😊, we admit we were devo' d when you stopped and Sian you broke my heart, in your finishing video. We will be looking out for your next episode and good luck in the property hunt 😊😘 Lyn & Bob
Loved the honesty, shame you had to deal with the crap and happy for you all that you don’t have to anymore. Focus on the positives from the last 3+ years, there has been a lot! Love the new plan sounds so exciting. All the best guys ❤
Great your on the tube again. Haven’t finished the episode yet and I rarely comment as we watch it on tv, but we’ve Loved watching you guys as you were so genuine. There are others that are running a business, but we genuinely felt like you just wanted to help others. We got a lot out of the other family and they were our original inspo, but we found your videos much easier to watch and relate to.
So exciting, more adventures ahead. So great to see you back. Looking forward to a camp out on your new property. Live big, dream big. Thanks Nicole & David x
Really nice to keep on following another journey of your life 😊 Really enlightening to hear all of this, as always, thank you for being so real and giving us the good and the bad! I’m sure we’ll see you at your hipcamp property one day! Good luck on the purchase ❤
They’re back 👍. Awesome to see u back again and can’t wait to hear about the plans and follow the new journey. Well done, thnx for the honesty, that’s why we luv u both, cheers 🥂🍻
So great to see you guys back. Always loved watching you as you were always real, not plastic like the other family. Best of luck with your new adventure.
Good to see you guys are back and great to get an honest, behind the scenes perspective on the whole You tube game! Not suprised you were burnt out in the end. Excited to see what happens with your new property and look forward to visiting some time hopefully when you’ve got the camp up and running! The campouts were great fun and definitely one of the highlights of our travels 🙂❤
A nice honest video. The other said family has become difficult to watch so I just don’t anymore. Plenty of smaller travellers I love watching. As a follower who has been with you since the beginning it’s good to see you back and I’ve missed you and still go back and watch your videos for travel inspiration. 😎
I would like to thank you for all the enjoyable moments I have had with you on you tube. I always wanted to travel arouond Australia and through you I became a couch traveller. I loved your episodes and the adventures you had along the way. Thank you for your efforts.
Our pleasure and thank you so much for coming along with us for the adventure 💗 it won’t stop though, our story continues just in a little bit of a different way 😊
Love, love, love. So glad you guys are back on youtube again finaly.I have been following you since day 1 and was very sad when I saw your last video. Don't think anyone understood the work behind each film or your life at the time. I`m so happy for you that you have found your way back. Hope you find the piece of land that suits you perfectly. Can't wait for create together. Hugs from an extremely snowy and cold Sweden // Ulrika
So happy you guys are back 🙌🏻 you are genuine and have integrity and that’s why we love you x we are planning our Cape trip this year - thanks for the inspiration 🤗
Love the honesty guys. Bloody brilliant. Tip my hat to ya👍 We too have had a couple of run ins with certain “family” 🤦♂️ Certainly wish you guys all the best for your future 🔥🇦🇺🍻
Great to see you back. Your soooooo much better than that Said Family. They now live 1770, Agnes Water. Maybe stay clear of that area for your property search. Looking forward to the next episode. 😊
ROFL.. what an awesome share and a video. Beside the money which comes and goes, i think you touch on it well, you learn how to read people better and as a family unit, you understand what works for your family. I look forward to seeing what happens and hopefully seeing you guys around QLD in future.
Welcome back guys ,Ive missed you! I can't wait to see and hear the details of your new adventures. And Im looking forward to watching your wedding and honeymoon videos ❤
This ep was the best yet. We recently did 6 months around the country and friends just dont get the "life admin" that goes along with travels. I did lose a little interest towards the end of your travels however after watching this latest vid, I 100% understand. Still rate you guys higher than the "other family"🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic to see you again! We were lucky enough to meet you at 80 mile, you are the most genuine and friendly family we met on our travels. Can’t wait to watch again in 2024. Your RUclips fam have missed you❤
Thank you for the come back, have missed your content very much and it's the "Cartwrights" that has filled that void for me and I reckon there pretty good, but I do enjoy your honesty so never change in that regard. I do understand that it must of been hard to be doing it almost 24/7, but you've come out on top and it's you four that have to be happy before us watchers, even though we just crave for more and more, so again thank you and hope to see you all soon(from my lounge). ✌🤘👍👊👏🤝
Thanks for the update its been good to hear from you Chris and your team. I think you are the people that will achieve what you are minded to get going with your own place. just remember not to bite your iceblock sticks.... Whatever you do have fun and stay safe...
Love the raw & honest recap 👏 You guys were most certainly an inspiration for our trip planning - Was also a highlight of our Kimberley’s trip to bump into you guys, have our girls play and share a bourbon at Windjana Gorge 😊
The most real people we have followed over the years! After completing our 19 month trip on the road SOOO much of this resonates. So so much! It’s so true that until you do it, and experience the highs, the lows, the fake parts (including experiences with other well know traveling RUclipsrs) and all the other things that come with life in a van, you just cannot comprehend it fully. So thank you so much for being so real and sharing it.
I have been watching you guys for a long time, it is good to see yall make this video! wow the kids have grown. i have always loved the way you guys just be normal everyday family and make that part of the videos. i do understand it has been hard over the years doing this and living this life style, but a change is always good. as a follower it would be just as good to see you guys in everyday life as on a dirt road in the bush. Keep up the good work, you do have a good fan base. cant wait to see more from yall. i hope the plans work out!!!
Great to see you guys back on RUclips, I have watched every single episode and have loved it, you guys have given my partner and myself a DREAM and hope to travel one day. We cannot wait to see what your new adventure will bring, especially the camp out's. I'm in country VIC, but hopefully we can make it to one. Please, DON'T STOP, you guys are great at what you do, open and honest. All the best guys. PS any BIG OZ singlets or shirts left? 👍🍺 Cheers Guys, Tristian.
Glad you made this video…. I stopped watching “said family” the more money they made the more unrelatable and stuck up they got.
You guys kept it real ❤
We were devastated when you stopped travelling unlike said family we stopped watching them because even from our lounge room we could see they had become YT snobs. Other creators shared time together which from a viewer point of view saw them as down to earth Aussies. Showing your every day life with no fancy dresses and loads of makeup and enough jewellery to look like a tackle box, your children were always well maintained, this made you part of our lives you shared the raw truth about travelling.
We love you guys and are proud to say we are part of your YT family and wish you every success in your future ventures, just remember to take us with you.
Kind Regards
Jenny
Any hints as to who the said family is please?
Wouldnlove to know what episode was referred too. We also stopped watching. To business like now
Trip in á van 🫢😅
@@RossNeill-w9ntrip in a van would be my guess
Hey, love u guys so honest and down to earth. Its ashame you have got to put up with antics of said family. I stopped watching said family a couple of years ago as they become too commericalised pushing all these products. It a bit like watching commercial tv.

You missed the part where they tried to push the ponzi scheme GSPARTNERS onto their followers
Thanks for the update and honesty - not surprising! Congratulations on your marriage too❤. Love your future ideas .-hopefully it all comes together - especially by 2025- we’d love to visit . Love you’re still doing episodes.

Love to see you's again, said family are not putting out to many videos anymore.
You are real human beings, not pretenders
Oh how I have missed you!!
So great to see you and listen to your awesome plans.
Patiently waiting for bookings to open 🤩
Love the honesty and sharing of behind the scenes, so real.
So happy you are back 🥳
It's great to see this ep BOE ! The market is flooded now with noise and rubbish. It was great to see you guys run different trips to different locations which weren't super pumped adverts, but family adventures. I am really disappointed my wife and I didnt say hello at Punsand Bay in 2020, we were super nervous and a little shy. I am really looking forward to your next adventures. Goodluck with the property hunt. Maybe, and I know this is like "show us ya rig " eps, but maybe have visitors show their setups, or tips they have, for everyone to enjoy. Non-biased, real people with their real families and lives with great recipes, or trick to pack up their gear or gadgets they can't live without (my wife loves a gadget). Whatever amazing ideas you come up with, enjoy all the things. You both look and sounds great, even with the snot :P

Weve been here since the beginning. We are still here. Lovely to see you both and watch your excitement of whats to come! 😀❤️🇦🇺🦘
Keeping it real. What I like about you guys. So good to see you back. The kids are growing so fast and both are adorable. All the best guys 👍👏🏼
Great your on the tube again. Haven’t finished the episode yet and I rarely comment as we watch it on tv, but we’ve Loved watching you guys as you were so genuine. There are others that are running a business, but we genuinely felt like you just wanted to help others. We got a lot out of the other family and they were our original inspo, but we found your videos much easier to watch and relate to.
You guys are amazing!!
Gary and I wish you all the best
With your new adventure in life❤❤
I loved that whole saga about the Great Northern Brewing Co and tagging them, tracking them down.. that was fun.
Congratulations you are so up front with everything great to here wish you all the best on your next adventures
Well done, a whole new chapter where you have the freedom to do your own thing. You said it right You Tube is a beast that can devour you.
Welcome back guys so glad to see you are happy 😊 can’t wait to see what you guys have coming up ❤
So exciting, more adventures ahead. So great to see you back. Looking forward to a camp out on your new property. Live big, dream big. Thanks Nicole & David x
Really nice to keep on following another journey of your life 😊
Really enlightening to hear all of this, as always, thank you for being so real and giving us the good and the bad! I’m sure we’ll see you at your hipcamp property one day! Good luck on the purchase ❤
They’re back 👍.
Awesome to see u back again and can’t wait to hear about the plans and follow the new journey. Well done, thnx for the honesty, that’s why we luv u both, cheers 🥂🍻
Can’t wait for the response!!
So great to see you guys back. Always loved watching you as you were always real, not plastic like the other family. Best of luck with your new adventure.
Good to see you guys are back and great to get an honest, behind the scenes perspective on the whole You tube game! Not suprised you were burnt out in the end. Excited to see what happens with your new property and look forward to visiting some time hopefully when you’ve got the camp up and running! The campouts were great fun and definitely one of the highlights of our travels 🙂❤
Thank you for being open, honest and real. Keep being you.
Watching this space 👀
A nice honest video.
The other said family has become difficult to watch so I just don’t anymore. Plenty of smaller travellers I love watching.
As a follower who has been with you since the beginning it’s good to see you back and I’ve missed you and still go back and watch your videos for travel inspiration. 😎
I would like to thank you for all the enjoyable moments I have had with you on you tube. I always wanted to travel arouond Australia and through you I became a couch traveller. I loved your episodes and the adventures you had along the way. Thank you for your efforts.
Our pleasure and thank you so much for coming along with us for the adventure 💗 it won’t stop though, our story continues just in a little bit of a different way 😊
Love, love, love. So glad you guys are back on youtube again finaly.I have been following you since day 1 and was very sad when I saw your last video. Don't think anyone understood the work behind each film or your life at the time. I`m so happy for you that you have found your way back. Hope you find the piece of land that suits you perfectly. Can't wait for create together. Hugs from an extremely snowy and cold Sweden // Ulrika
So happy you guys are back 🙌🏻 you are genuine and have integrity and that’s why we love you x we are planning our Cape trip this year - thanks for the inspiration 🤗
Love the honesty guys. Bloody brilliant. Tip my hat to ya👍
We too have had a couple of run ins with certain “family” 🤦♂️
Certainly wish you guys all the best for your future 🔥🇦🇺🍻
Great to see you back.
Hearts on your sleeves, we'll done.
Hanger "O" still for sale?
Great to see you back. Your soooooo much better than that Said Family. They now live 1770, Agnes Water. Maybe stay clear of that area for your property search.
Looking forward to the next episode. 😊
Yay glad you are back will be waiting to see your next video❤
ROFL.. what an awesome share and a video. Beside the money which comes and goes, i think you touch on it well, you learn how to read people better and as a family unit, you understand what works for your family. I look forward to seeing what happens and hopefully seeing you guys around QLD in future.
What a fantastic idea for you guys and for us campers too. Good luck with it and hope it all happens soon.❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much! 😊 Not long now 🥰
Welcome back guys ,Ive missed you! I can't wait to see and hear the details of your new adventures. And Im looking forward to watching your wedding and honeymoon videos ❤
This ep was the best yet. We recently did 6 months around the country and friends just dont get the "life admin" that goes along with travels.
I did lose a little interest towards the end of your travels however after watching this latest vid, I 100% understand.
Still rate you guys higher than the "other family"🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic to see you again! We were lucky enough to meet you at 80 mile, you are the most genuine and friendly family we met on our travels. Can’t wait to watch again in 2024. Your RUclips fam have missed you❤
Congratulations on the news guys run with your dreams don’t worry what other people think.
Awesome to have u back; keeping it real ❤. I missed watching the kids 😂 can’t believe how big they are now.
Love your honesty about life on the road. It must be lovely to have the time to breathe and decompress? Good luck with the future plans.
It really is! This break was what we needed ☺️☺️
Thank you for the come back, have missed your content very much and it's the "Cartwrights" that has filled that void for me and I reckon there pretty good, but I do enjoy your honesty so never change in that regard. I do understand that it must of been hard to be doing it almost 24/7, but you've come out on top and it's you four that have to be happy before us watchers, even though we just crave for more and more, so again thank you and hope to see you all soon(from my lounge). ✌🤘👍👊👏🤝
Thanks for the update its been good to hear from you Chris and your team. I think you are the people that will achieve what you are minded to get going with your own place.
just remember not to bite your iceblock sticks....
Whatever you do have fun and stay safe...
Wow…this video ❤ so genuine and love your honesty!!
Love the raw & honest recap 👏 You guys were most certainly an inspiration for our trip planning - Was also a highlight of our Kimberley’s trip to bump into you guys, have our girls play and share a bourbon at Windjana Gorge 😊
The most real people we have followed over the years!
After completing our 19 month trip on the road SOOO much of this resonates. So so much! It’s so true that until you do it, and experience the highs, the lows, the fake parts (including experiences with other well know traveling RUclipsrs) and all the other things that come with life in a van, you just cannot comprehend it fully. So thank you so much for being so real and sharing it.
Well done well said. Appreciate the honesty. Wishing you all the best for your future
Love the land idea to create your camp out community. My wife and I have actually been talking about setting up land for a while too.
I have been watching you guys for a long time, it is good to see yall make this video! wow the kids have grown. i have always loved the way you guys just be normal everyday family and make that part of the videos. i do understand it has been hard over the years doing this and living this life style, but a change is always good. as a follower it would be just as good to see you guys in everyday life as on a dirt road in the bush. Keep up the good work, you do have a good fan base. cant wait to see more from yall. i hope the plans work out!!!
Good to see you back, and hope you feel a bit better for being able to speak so honestly. Best of luck for the next stage of life.
Loved seeing you back on here. Great insight into the world we all think we want. Thanks for the honesty and insight. 💕
Great video can’t wait to watch! Good luck with your new goals
How happy was I to see you guys pop in the feed… now to watch the episode and see what’s happening! 😊
Great to see you back. We will keep watching you guys and your next adventures. Thanks for being down to earth people. Lesley & Andy
Thanks so much! 😊
Great to see you guys back on RUclips, I have watched every single episode and have loved it, you guys have given my partner and myself a DREAM and hope to travel one day. We cannot wait to see what your new adventure will bring, especially the camp out's. I'm in country VIC, but hopefully we can make it to one. Please, DON'T STOP, you guys are great at what you do, open and honest. All the best guys. PS any BIG OZ singlets or shirts left? 👍🍺 Cheers Guys, Tristian.
