Hi Dan, I just watched this & was surprised to see that we were featured in your video. The Hyundai Getz was my mates vehicle & we had to take it really slow getting it in there, LOL. We were up there doing a bike ride into Wonongatta. Believe me, it was a very cold weekend but well worth it. The hut was brilliant during the evening to socialise & keep warm prior to hitting the sack.
Hi Vincent. RUclips has a way of making the world a whole lot smaller :) Your mate deserves a bravery award for that effort. I'm going to pin this comment...How was your ride on that trip? Cheers, Dan
Paul and I get on so well because we are both raging introverts.
Magical is the word!! Went to the Vic high country about 5 years ago and 1st impressions were just amazing!! Simply mind blown how much adventure there is to be experienced 👌👍some scary tracks but that's half the fun!
As a 90s owner its good to see a 90 out there mopping it up along with my 2nd fav 4by the Tonka FJ love them too
Well said - there's something so...vast...and....magnificent about the high country. People have dedicated their life to exploring it and I doubt any of them feels like they have seen all of it. I would not attempt a trip like this solo - some very scary tracks - strength in numbers (safety and security) - 3 vehicles is a great number. The 90 prado punches above its weight, especially with Grey Dingo being the Grande - it has traction control features that make it ahead of its time. I've been with twin locked vehicles that are surprised with how it performs. I love Paul's FJ too, he's a sensible bloke and has set it up very well. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers 😁
Thanks for the invite to come along mate. Was a great day out with you and Paul. Some great wheeling on this trip. Nice to watch the video back, it's like doing the trip again!
You are welcome. What a great day! That's the thing with trip videos isn't it ....if nothing else - at least you get something to refresh your memory 😁
@@OTWD Definitely!
You mean you didn’t have to edit it Jase, so it makes it much more enjoyable to watch. 👍🏼😂
@@aguyandhistroopy any excuse to revisit a trip is a good one
Love it !! More trip videos please Dan.
This has inspired me to get “Out There”.
You put a lot effort into this video and it shows. Multiple camera angles, good editing thank you for all your efforts.
I really enjoyed this one.
Thank you.
Hey Dave! Thanks heaps. This encouragement means a great deal. I didn't shoot coherently with the story in mind, so it was a bit of a struggle piecing it together - but that's what practicing is about. On future trips I'll keep the shotgun mic on camera too for more consistent audio, I worked out a way to stop if rattling on the mount whilst 4WDing - so its already on camera and I can grab on a whim. It's all bout small improvements and practice....Cheers mate!!!
Great video mate. Loved the relaxed vibe - a nice break from the really full-on stuff that every 'influencer' seems to be doing these days. I'd definitely watch more of these.
Thanks Matt, Appreciate the encouragement! Glad you enjoyed. Cheers😬
What a fantastic part of the country!
Thanks for watching Vicky! It really does seem MAGICAL. PS. the beanie features in the next one - sorry if you were waiting 30 mins for the beanie cameo 😂
Great to see Dan. looking forward to see more and as you learn so do we. I look forward to seeing the improvement with the kitchen set up on the back. Look forward to the next one. Take care.
Hi Terry, Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for taking the time to comment😬 I carry mu DIY pelican case fire cooking kitchen I made, and usually have a mini kitchen in one of my milk crate bags (jetboil, coffee, basic stuff) Maybe a pull out kitchen (or at least a drawer) is on the cards eventually - but there's benefits of keeping the storage more modular too...it often becomes a rabble though. Best wishes!
Enjoyed the video mate! Plenty more high country trips plz👍
Thanks heaps Gilesy. I appreciate this encouragement mate! 😬
Love these types of videos.
Hi Philip, I'm sorry to have taken so long to respond to your comments last week. Feedback like this is really encouraging - thanks heaps. And I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. Cheers!😬
Good stuff mate, plenty polished enough already, I've only just seen your broken 90 thumbnail
so I've come back through to watch the whole series. Love ya work, carry on.
Hi Rooster - Welcome to the channel! Still learning my own style with filming and putting together these trip vids. Enjoy. Just getting started! What sort of camping/driving do you do?
@@OTWD We've had a 120 for a few months now. Absolutely love it, been doing overnight and couple nights, tent and swag camping, forest and beach.
Wont be doing much now campfire season is over but looking foward to next May.
Your brother in law put me onto your channel and epic content. Loving the trip videos and even better letting a Pajero join in!
Hi Matt, Steve has told me all about you a couple of times! (although looks like Mark is taking the credit) - Appreciate the encouragement! I have a soft spot for the Paj too 😁
Cheers Dan!
Great trip.
G'Day Steve. Thanks mate!!😬
Nice one Dan, how good was that camping spot on the Caledonia River below Dingo Hill, it’s up there with some of the best.
Jase is a legend, but I reckon he might of stitched you up… the high track out if Wonnangatta is a much better and easier drive, no mud ! 👍🏼
Great episode, got my Sub mate.
Welcome aboard Gav. Yeh that river camp is an absolute cracker. Sounds like Jason just wanted some mud! I really like your videos, camera suits you because of your natural charisma. And I like your choice of sound tracks too. Cheers!
Hi Dan, great video, I really like your style. The cowboy music is cool too! I have done a few of those tracks and stayed at woonangatta a couple of times but might use your route next time. Keep up the good work, chees
Hi Lee, so glad you liked the video and thanks for the kind encouragement. In coming trips I will probably do more 'talking to camera' as it unfolds rather mostly than adding the voice later... but I'm glad you liked it - I was worried it would be a bit boring! - I will keep a mix of this style. The Wonnongatta was the highlight of the trip I think, its such a special place. I hope you get back there. Cheers 😀
Great video and thanks for sharing a great trip with me. To answer your question more of the same please. It allows a UK viewer like myself to share an experience sadly I am unlikely to be able to get to from the other side of the world.👍👍🍺🍺
So glad that the video found you then! Appreciate the kind words and glad you are here mate. I will be a bit more organised in coming trips, and do more 'talking on camera' as the trips happens - rather than doing the David Attenborough later. It's good feedback to know I'm on the right track. Cheers - I'll take one of those beers.
Lovely change of tempo to the normal videos. The combination of content makes for a brilliant mix. Love it as always
Thanks guys! Hey must be getting close 😬 Hope you are doing well and my thoughts are with you!!
nice video mate.
Jason mentioned your channel on one of the trips I was with.
great content Dan.
I’m now a cross over subscriber . looking forward to more thank you.
Heya Luca!! Jason has spoken about you too. Glad you like the channel and Appreciate the encouragement! Look forward to crossing paths!😬👍
@@OTWD ❤️
Nice video mate! Took in some of the best tracks and nicest areas that’s for sure!
Hey Dean! Yeah was a great set of tracks! Thanks for encouragement. I won't be able to join you guys for the trip in a few weeks...got some mechanical issues to deal with😅 Already looking forward to next year..
@@OTWD ahh that sucks! Hopefully you can get it sorted quickly!
Beautiful mate
Thanks mate! Was a special trip.
We love our hexatarp, cheap and lightweight, no stuff on the roof.
Hey mate, I like your video style, keep the momentum with the uploads! I'll be taking off my roof rack awnings soon - just doesnt make sense to have all that weight up there. Glad there's other believers too😁. Cheers
@OTWD cheers, comments like this are really motivating. We'll keep the videos coming too!
Great video Dan. I have not been up there for many years. I do hate the mud, it destroys cars so prefer to do it in summer. When did you make this video? How is the Oztent RS1 working out. Looks like it is still a very long package. Not sure my Suzuki could handle a couple of those water crossings, it might start to float!
Thanks heaps Michael! The mud can be fun... but it's very short term fun for medium and long term risk! My mind always goes to the sand/dirt particles getting stuck in all the moving parts and causing damage, and salts eventually accelerating corrosion. Part of the reason I like having an older, less valuable vehicle for this kind of travel. This was weekend of 01 April 2023. The Ozent RS-1 is bulky but still comparable to a double dome swag - and it's a bit lighter - I don't mind having it up on the roof. It's probably too big for the cabin, and definitely the Suzuki cabin 🤣 The appeal is the fast setup and packup and not rolling a swag each morning. Mattress is quite thin, I'm now looking at something extra to add for comfort. The real achilles heal is that condensation inside seems unavoidable (at least in VIC climate) - I don't have this problem with the Oztent RV5, I think its to do with the size volume of the swag and the type of canvas. I'm sure we'd figure out a way to get the Suzuki through those tracks 😀 Appreciate you watching, Cheers.
Absolutely great video Dan. On the brief awning topic, I'm having the same thoughts of replacing my car awning with a tarp such as that. But perhaps an even lighter hiking type one. Having a quick attach and release solution to the roof rack would be nice. I'd be curious to know if it's any more cumbersome or slower than a typical car awning to set up. But can't be that bad, I can barely set my awning up on my own as it is.
Hi Sam, apologies for taking a while to reply - I do commit to responding to all comments - but sometimes it take a while😅 Keep me posted on how your light weight tarp solution pans out!! I got a bit of a curveball with my vehicle being out of action for while however, I was about to remove the fixed awning to take down 10-12kg off the roof. Within a few months I will have a video describing how to set up the full size medium Drifta hexatarp solo/as one person, and following that I will share ways the 1/2 hexa tarp can suit light weight travellers. From what I have learnt so far - It's easy and do-able to have quick connect tarp option, right up until you get delayed reaching camp and its dark and raining and freezing - and you wish you had a conventional awning for convenience. With some practice though.... I'll be preaching the light weight option. Stay in touch. Cheers, Dan😁
Awesome trip Dan 💪
Great route and some wicked tracks!
What size tyres are on Paul’s FJ?
285/70/17?
Thanks mate. That was a great trip - I love Wonnangatta in particular. I'll check with him. They are 33" -sounds about right.
Hi James ! They are 285 70 17 Falkens. He has this to say about it - They will fit on standard rims (positive 15mm) but rub the body mount on zero offset rims. I have a small lift (ARB OME), but I think 33s still fit on standard suspension. I could go bigger legally but I won’t because that would make the gearing too tall and adds too much stress to everything. An FJ on 33s will have similar diff clearance to a ‘Cruiser or Patrol on 35s.
@@OTWD thanks Dan and Paul! even though i drive a Patrol like Luca, i love Paul’s FJ setup, super capable and dependable by the look of it!
