Hey everyone, unfortunately McBrides Beach has been 'temporarily closed' since the filming of this video. Here is the fact sheet taken from NSW National Parks website www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/-/media/visitor/files/pdf/mcbrides-beach-access-changes.pdf Let's all remember to look after these places we visit, never leave any rubbish behind, respect the tracks and environment.
Got a feeling it wont be temporary unfortunately...but good callout on looking after these tracks and the environment - huge part of the reason they close these tracks. Keep up the good content and encouraging people to respect the environment we play in...maybe an episode on tips on how and why??
The tracks permanently closed to vehicles and camping was never allowed anyway, national parks never policed it because of the track conditions obviously! They've been saying for years they were going to close it but I think It's recent rise in popularity forced them to close it! About 6 weeks ago I went down there was no less then 150 people camping down there
And kooks that watch these vids come to these beautiful places leaving rubbish and shitty toliet paper please stop naming locations in the great lakes area people can look for themselves if their that keen to explore, I thought that's wat 4x4 camping is all about! And it's not just that the track was too hectic for national parks it was because of the state it had been left in over the last few months!
Tyler, iam in my 60s now and your work out does alot of other people videos on utube i will watch the adds tell the end to help out your page great work mate.
Great video mate. Something to trial in the future is using a stick or pen or some form of pointer when showing where you went on the map. Makes it easier to follow and there is no shakey, blurry finger in the shot. Keep up the great work.
Hey Tyler, I really enjoy watching your vids every few days. Just a tip - I've noticed in some recent vids when you're splitting wood that sometimes there's someone off to the side of your log, at right angles to the axe-handle. I reckon this is the most dangerous place for them to be. If the log gets hit with a glancing blow, the axe'll fly off very quickly and could hit them badly - I've seen a few near misses over the years. Keep up the great work. Shame about McBrides getting closed.
Hi tyler how did you know where you are able to camp in that location over looking the lake. Does that national park allow camping in all areas or is that in a specified area you are allowed to camp.
Content is top notch mate! Hopefully they don’t shut McBrides for as long as they’ve shut some of the tracks in the Barringtons. That soft bag for the chainsaw looks the goods!
Hi Champion, me, the wife and our 2year-old are heading out this exact same area you did in this video with our drifta DOT camper trailer. We are like you and want to avoid the crowds when we camp and was wondering if I should be worried if I try to mimic the way you camped in the State Forest near Smiths lake etc but have a trailer with me… Do you think those tracks around the area in general where you camped with that view etc is really only suitable for a four-wheel-drive (car only) and not something with a trailer as well?
Another great video mate, beautiful area. You were close to Whoota Whoota lookout, it's worth a visit next time you are in Wallingat. Hard to believe but the views are even better then where you camped. BTW your $5 Patreon pic is still Kayla. 👌
Do you ever get sick of cooking? I do, I just can’t be bothered messing about getting it all out preparing it, cooking it. And then cleaning it all to then put it all away. Nowadays I use my Travel Buddy most of the time, soo much easier & convenient 👍
Not sure mate, its still going. Looked over everything so many times and even got the mechanic to check it and can't find anything. Seems to be slowly getting worse so might have to go back to mechanics
@@TylerThompson90 cheers m8 , I've heard it on mine a few times , I've got a 2 inch lift with dobison springs with bilstien shocks , if you discover what it is , please let me no 🤞
@@TylerThompson90 It's your left rear spring. It's only doing it close to full flex so not going to see anything on a hoist. Gunna have to jack it up one corner at a time to make it flex & make the spring go through it's full range of motion to check it properly
Another excellent video yeah sounds like cv clunking and who is the lady friend is that your young fellas mum great to see her getting her hands dirty moving the tree on the track keeps the vids coming champ
That's not a cv. It's suspension. Notice it's only when the left rear is close to full droop when you hear the noise? The sound isn't right for a cv anyway
Yeah so one of the noises is the rear spring coming slightly loose on full suspension travel and the other we eventually worked out was a loose bolt on the rear trailing arm
Nice vid mate! One thing for the viewers and correct me if I'm wrong Tyler? That trail you were on in the wallingat (the steep climb) looks like Palmers trail which is a private road and where you camped looks like a spot I know on that trail which is private property? Like I said correct me if I'm wrong just don't want some of the viewers having any trouble if they venture out this way! Cheers keep up the quality content mate always look forward to you vids! 👌👍
Yeah I was wondering something similar about camping in some of these places. If it's not National Park and it's not State Park and it's not private property... What is it?
I wasn't aware Palmers was private, is there any signs up i didnt see any? It seemed like any normal fire trail in a NP/SF just a bit steep. I'm sure Tyler wouldnt of went up it if he knew, likewise i wouldnt of either.
@@Haywoodjablomie100yes I myself went up that trail and it didn't have signs at the entrance from the whoota lookout end but there's a gate which was opened, the signs that are up there are handmade not national parks, and the campsite spot where Tyler camped now has wire or chain across the entrance saying private property keep out etc... I'm guessing I was up there 6 to 8 weeks ago? Btw I know he wouldn't drive or stay on private property without permission goes without saying.. just thought I'd post to see if anyone else could confirm cause I'm not 100% either?
Im not too sure of the trail name to be honest but sounds like it may be the one you are talking about as there was a gate at the start which was open but no signs there or anything, figured they may close it after a heap of rain or during winter etc. Where we camped there was no chain/rope or any signs, further along the track though (few hundred metres) was another little camp spot that had a private property sign with a rope across the entrance. If you're out there again you'll see if back before the private property spot you're talking about. But yeah if it was a private road I had no idea, I just head out exploring areas and if there is gates/signs etc Ill head down any trail I can see haha
After the new car Tyler got a taste for upgrades.. your new friend might even convert you away from being a vegetarian 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ goon on you mate !! As long as you’re happy 😆!!!
@@gqwarrior6694 I agree, shame though, I did like watching the 'Cooking with Kayla' videos and segments as well as the bloopers with the two/three of them amongst the 4WD content.
Hey mate, you might want to get that wheel alignment looked at. At about 7mins in your steering wheel is way off center. Great content though....cheers
Thanks Tyler, another great vid. I share your dislike of national parks - they suck. It's like they want to herd you into dirty little pig-pens to camp, and everything is restrictive. Was in the Capertee Valley this week, awesome country but both camps I went to were NP so no pets, no firewood, no enjoying yourself, ... they were too busy putting up more of those bloody awful wire rope fences all round the camp which made no sense at all? Did you need a beach permit for Burgess & Lighthouse? Oh yeh, one last thing, just out of interest what subject do you teach? Cheers.
Thanks mate! Yep definitely can get frustrating at times, we do our best to avoid those sorts of places and find somewhere to ourselves. You don't need a permit for lighthouse beach that im aware of. Burgess beach you can't drive on, just walk to it from the carpark. And I am a PDHPE teacher mate
Hey Tyler great vid mate you get our whole family super motivated to hit the tracks and camp, especially more isolated places 👍🏻 do you find tracks are becoming harder to access due to restricted access we are on the Sunshine Coast and it seems every second track has restricted access so frustrating. Cheers Jason.

It won’t be temporary, you can see in the last paragraph it says vehicle access and camping have always been prohibited.
The tracks permanently closed to vehicles and camping was never allowed anyway, national parks never policed it because of the track conditions obviously!

Thanks mate, being new to area these videos are extremely helpful. Keep doing what your doing. A big Drifta fan too 👍🏼
You're channeling some Alby Mangels vibes. So good.
Great Episode Mate
Cheers mate!
Bloopers at end were great 👍
Thanks for sharing, that footage of the lighthouse was brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Top vid tyler. Getting back on the tracks.... Top editing.... Easy viewing....
Great weekend away, thank you for sharing.
Really enjoy your videos, great way to experience part of the world I otherwise wouldn't get to. 👍
Glad you like them!
Shame the grubs had that place closed. Thanks for sharing good episode 👍
Thanks 👍
liked the outtakes at the end. great content tyler.
You can add ocean photography to the resume now 👌🏾
Thank you!
Good on you Tyler.... the late start at camp.... it's ok mate, we all understand ;-) You couldn't get that grin off your face .
Hahaha thanks mate!
Great video mate. Something to trial in the future is using a stick or pen or some form of pointer when showing where you went on the map. Makes it easier to follow and there is no shakey, blurry finger in the shot. Keep up the great work.
Thanks mate! good tip
Great video buddy, cool, lov the lake camp spot, awesome lookout
Thanks 👍

Seen ya at Cobrabald on Saturday! Keep up the top work matey.
Thanks mate! Was nice out there
Awesome video mate, looks like a great trip so far. Pity about mcbrides but out of our control.
👍👍
Thanks mate! Yep such a shame
Another great vid but I did wonder if you took off that cap last night at 14:22. At least while you said your prayers.
Content is top notch mate! Hopefully they don’t shut McBrides for as long as they’ve shut some of the tracks in the Barringtons. That soft bag for the chainsaw looks the goods!

Hey mate, generally the tracks we saw out there aren't anything too hard, should be suitable for an off-road trailer
Thanks mate
Love all your videos

The best is to take prepared meals from home when you're moving as often as Tyler does....
But that doesn't make for much of a cooking segment
Yeah I’ve been using my TB heaps more too
Yeah sometimes I get sick of it also enjoy cooking around the camp fire some nights, just depends what time we get to camp/how big the day was
Nice video, as always!
Awesome clip champ 👍
Good video mate good to see you both clearing tracks for others but don’t hurt your backs lifting like that, bad backs are fit life be careful
That should say for life dam spell check
Yeah probably should use the winch next time haha
Perfect 👌 way to start the day
Hey Tyler, absolutely love the videos!!! Just wondering if we can free camp on any of the beaches around that area? Cheers
Thanks! Nope not around there
Awesome video as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
Great vid Tyler who’s the new Legs......nice
G'day champ , what's that banging sound coming from your suspension as your leaving mc brides beach (top section wombat holes ) ?

Hey mate, great vid! Had a question about the wild lands roof top tent. With the new mattress how much bedding are you able to keep up there?
Only a couple of sheets really mate
Another entertaining video Ty. Bloopers are a bonus. Did she say ‘6 chins’? That’s a bit harsh.
Thanks mate! haha yep
Good stuff Tyler
you should check out samurai beach near newcastle, cool little spot
SICK AS
