    showing what these tracks are really like is what your good at, not just " another 4x4 going down Gun Shot". Like the commentary and advice along the way. Look forward to next ep.

    Hi Tyler. Its 7am on a Sunday morning in Full Lockdown in Melbourne planning my Solo 2022 trip to the Cape and your notification appeared. Your commentary is the honest full disclosure version of what the trip to the Cape really is. Simple day to day stuff that you only usually learn after you have been on a big trip and wish someone had told you before you left!!!! Keep up the great work. Looks like you and Ky are having the times of your lives. Can't wait for the next installment!!!!
