low energy or not, still an enjoyable video, you guys being so natural is what brings me back all the time, it's not scripted, see you next week . cheers
Glad you two are feeling yourselves again. Thank your for talking about this, your mental health and the mental health of your viewers is important. Each time you talk about it, you will help someone who needs it. One Life, One Search, Shane
I think anyone who has spent an amount of time on the road appreciates the dynamic. It ebbs and flows, but so does time at home. Thanks for another great vid 👍👍
Absolutely right! Definitely feeling more like ourselves now, I think we just tend to feel a bit guilty about having off weeks but its all apart of the journey! Thanks so much for watching!
Hello both I have recently come across your youtube site and have to admit it has to be one of the best. I live in the Scottish Highlands but was born in Adelaide. I came over with my parents in 1952 to the uk so it has almost been 70 years in uk. I had tried a few times over the years to go back to Australia but life always seemed to get in the way, now I am too old at 75. At least I will be able to see my home country by following you. Thank you so much Dave Gunn
Thank you for always being true and honest in your vids. Absolutely love you guys. Everyone has low days or weeks and there is absolutely no issue with that.
Again another authentic episode. Your not complaining just keeping it real. If we show all the good and not the challenges we lead other into false pretences of what travelling our beautiful country is all about. Some could waste a lot of money thinking it’s already roses. On the flip side, look at the beautiful days in the forest you can have hey 😎 love our country 🇦🇺
Fantastic scenery with wonderful swimming holes, is a perfect combination - particularly in warm weather. The sort of areas I love to visit. Definitely one for the bucket list. Thanks for sharing. Love the transparency of your travels. No shame to have varying moods. It's just part of life. Keep it up.👍👍
Increase your water intake. If you are a bit dehydrated you will feel tired and it will change your mood. Sometimes it can be something so simple. Great video.
What we love about you guys is that your so genuine. So please don’t feel you have to pretend to be “up” all the time if your just not feeling it. We all have those weeks/days. Loved the latest episode as always. Now we just have to wait a whole week for the next one! 💕 Ps - RIP the thong 🥲
Thanks for watching Katrina! You're right everyone has good and bad days! RIP the thong haha I've still got them in the car too much sentimental value.
Totally agree with you. Some epic locations visited this week. I need to get out there. Love the honesty of your mood.👍 Only fools would think it's always sunshine and rainbows. Keep it up.
Firstly, I want to honour the courage that shows through in your authenticity 🙂 In this age of social media where everyone has an opinion and not always a positive one, I feel that it's important to stand firm in sharing what it's truly like in your everyday life. The good and the bad. Life isn't always happy and people who believe that it "should be" or dislike seeing the unhappy side of things are likely trying to escape their own troubles. I for one love living vicariously through you and other content creators as we are not financial enough at this stage to do what you all do. Secondly, when you two fight, do you have a plan in place to create safe space afterwards to calm yourselves and then come back together in a loving way? I know it may be difficult to do in such a small space but you also have the great outdoors.
Hey mate sorry for the late reply here! firstly thank you for watching and taking the time to comment :) You're right life is not always happy and we accept this! Our plan although it doesn't always go to plan is to give each other space when we have an argument which does happen quite a bit in our small space. Another thing we always do before we go to sleep if we have had an argument that day is to talk it out so we don't sleep on it if we don't resolve it that night we are going to wake up in a bad mood!
@@itsJackandMegan All good on the delayed reply. I'm sure you've got a lot going in and I appreciate that you take time out to reply. Sounds like you've got a good plan for those times that you disagree. I agree that going to sleep with unresolved issues can definitely make the next day start in a negative way so finding a way to resolve things before sleep is the way to go. Keep up the good work 🙂
We understand how you guys feel about having a bad week. My partner and I have been living on the road for 7 months now and it definitely can happen with living in such a small space. You guys have made us feel better knowing we aren't the only couple who struggles every now and then while living the dream. Keep up the fantastic work! We absolutely love your channel!
That is good to hear we not alone! We definitely felt some guilt over the way we were feeling this week but we just need to let the feelings run their course I think! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼
Hi love your stuff kids , I am 77 yrs and I have found by taking olive leaf extract on and off for 20yrs get it at the chemist , gives me a massive energy boost a bit xy but worth every bit , keep up the great work , we’ve got a modded troopy as well .love h &c .
Next time your up Ingham way head west up to the Mount Fox Crater. Good climb fantastic little camp ground at the cricket club includes hot showers. From there you can head north west through the Valley of Lagoons up to Blanco falls then onto Undarra Lava Tubes.There's alot more around Ingham than the just Wallaman falls . Happy travels.
Bound to happen . I only realised it after I travelled with my misses through Europe and never worked out why we had a few blow outs until later on. Still l9ve the channel you 2 and thanks for keeping it real. Hope you enjoyed the shakshuka
Gorgeous spot! Great job at putting another entertaining video together. Impressive how you are able to squeeze in the shooting and editing every week. One of these days you should do a "behind the scenes" on how you do all of that.
Love that you're so down to earth. We always look forward to your videos..very enjoyable and informative..keep up the good work guys 🙂 Hello from Gail and Graham 👋
Beautiful footage guys, those water hole/falls look absolutely magic. You nailed the cooking this video, love Shakshuka and will definitely try your stuffed eggplant recipe in our camp oven. Cheers Marg :)
🌺 Great video, definitely didn’t feel bad energy from it! Far from it. Your commentary’s and content always makes me feel like I’m experiencing the journey too.. thank you 🌺
a few months ago I returned home to victoria after a solo road trip up the east coast in my 4wd to cape tribulation. it brings me so much joy seeing you both going to all the places I did and experiencing their beauty. I made the correct decision by going to the Cardwell spa pool at 7am, and had the entire place to myself as well, it was simply magical. I was wondering whether you have been or were planning to go to Josephine falls, it is a must see! I have been following you both since the beginning, and for some reason it makes me feel so connected to you both seeing Megan swimming and standing in the exact places I was, and staying at the same camp grounds such as the big crystal creek campground in your last video. excited to see whats next, love your work so much!!!!
Hey Hanna sorry for the late reply 😅 Sounds like you had a great solo trip!! How nice is it having places to yourself probably a weird one but do you remember the weird smell at Cardwell spas haha we thought it smelt a bit like maple syrup. 🤣 weird I know! We did actually go to Josephine falls! It was pumping with water it was insane! Thanks so much for following along from the start that’s so nice to hear. 😊🙏🙏
I was expecting a backflip from the top Jack…….what happened dude? Seriously though, very beautiful 😍 Was going to say, being on the road full time (or for long periods of time) is all roses & sweets. There’s plenty of little challenges to get through and sometimes it’s just the fact simple things we take for granted in a house become so difficult on the road, ie: Hot running water, flushing thrones etc etc. No biggy here, just make sure you listen & support each other & remember that you won’t always have the opportunity to do this, eventually other commitments will take hold & you look back on these memories you’re creating with such fondness. Look after yourselves kids
@@itsJackandMegan I did decide to Chuck a more serious edit in because I wanted you guys to realise it’s ok to have those days, just make sure you look after each other. Keep smiling 🤙🏼
Another great video guys. Love your honesty on the way you are feeling; and yet you continue to produce amazing and real life content 👌. Safe travels 👍
Hi Guys, really enjoying your channel! We find that having what we call 'mental health days' every couple of weeks when we are on the road works well for us. Basically we take a day off and go our separate ways for the day doing what ever we want. Mightn't be for everyone but works for us Safe Travels! 🤠
Keep up the great work guys. An idea for a future video segment.... How's the Troopy holding up and what's your routine to keep the old girl humming along.
Great vid guys, outside looking in, you're living life on the road, I would say NOT having a whinge would be fake, you're allowed to have a bad day, hey Jack more nonna cooking and Meagan you still look pretty with little to no make up!
Beautiful scenery! Definitely on my bucket list. Reality of life says that it can’t be all roses all the time. I guess it’s just how one deals with the lows that counts. Question. What’s happened to the gas shower , 270 degrees awning and the camp oven?
Hey Jason thanks for watching! In regards to the gas shower it just wouldn't fit and ended up becoming annoying so we made the decision to get rid of it. the 270 awning is still attached and we use it often. camp oven is still in the car also. :)
Can't always be roses and chocolate, keeping it real is the only way, and like what someone else said, no words before coffee ☕ keep up the good work guys
Jack and Megan, Just a few tips for when you plan to come to Tassy. Weather plays a major part in where you can go and do , and whether its enjoyable or miserable. The best time to visit is November. September begins to warm up , but we usually get a two week relapse of winter in October. January , 30c is hot here , high humidity, high UVs and you will get sunburnt. Autumn is windy, and something to keep in mind all year round , if we get a southerly it will be cold, not unusual to get December snow. Right now is the wet season, but we rarely got two weeks without some sort of rain, all year round. Allow yourself at least two weeks to get around the island. East coast is pretty much like any other coastline, with the exception of the south east , some spectacular coastline. Biggest attraction is the center ( cradle mountain, overland track ) and the western forests. far south has also some interesting places. Travel times can vary greatly, according winding mountain roads. Food ( take away , restaurants )can vary from extremely good to extremely poor, as does the service accompanying it. Queenstown looks like the face of the moon , and is interesting for all of half an hour. Strahan however is a great place to wind down , sit at cafe's and relax, is also the base for other adventures , such as Gordon river cruise, mountain steam train, etc. One general rule here in Tassy, never go anywhere without a jumper , regardless of current weather, it can change very quickly. As for the boat itself. Take an overnight trip, the sea can get very boring after a few short hours. The night trip , board , have a few drinks , go to bed and when you get up , its already arrived in Devonport. Meals on board are over priced and over rated, best to eat prior and take snacks for the evening. dont be late , the boat doesnt wait . Parking fees can be a real pain, in the cities. best to look for K Mart type car parks that dont charge. If you do happen to get a ticket ( with the exception of a police one ) just ignore it. they will sent a letter of demand, but in reality they have no lawfull authority to fine you. Hope this is helpfull.
Hi Bruce, Thanks for taking the time to write this comment its very informative and has defiantly helped us out! and I'm sure a few other viewers. we can't wait to head over to Tassy its going to be one hell of an adventure!
I think I agree with what you are saying nate if I am reading between the lines correctly. The first trip probably can't be matched because of the pure wow factor of being the first time. Even if equipment and planning are better the second time around it would be hard to match that first experience.
Hey Nate. Yeah mate it’s definitely different this time round with having to plan out and worry about finances more which will naturally stress us. But in saying that we definitely love doing what we’re doing and feel we have definitely made the right decision. 😊😊
Tully is my favourite town murray falls is my absolute favourite swimming spot i used to live down the road from it and go all the time but i would swim up under the waterfall haha
Good decision. Keep it real. For me it is what I like about your presentations. Its real life. It is good that you can express and share with us. I can see a difference in you both from your first lap. Is that due to the fact that you are doing more planning and thinking due to RUclips etc. and your audience rather than winging it and heading into the unknown like the first time round? Does this in itself create an invisible pressure within you both that you find you want to keep raising the bar? I am probably wide of the mark but the thing where you were considering doing something dangerous at the waterfall to get that shot.....was that for you, or was it because you felt it was something that would give a `wow' factor to the blog? You guys have been doing fine so far with everything you have shown and shared with us. Personally, and I am sure for everyone else too, we don't want you to put yourselves in harms way in order to `raise that bar'. We know that you both want to improve your presentation. We know a lot of hard work and effort both mental and physical, goes into the conception and final presentation but hey, don't let it take away or detract in anyway from the experience and joy of what you are doing. It should be fun and we will take it anyway it comes.
Cheers Phil! I think we always want to be putting out the best video each week that we can possibly create so we definitely put the pressure on ourselves at times 😅 that’s another reason we tend to get frustrated with ourselves when our energy is low. But with getting the shots at waterfall and things like that, that is more for us than the video because we just love it so much 😆 really appreciate your comments every week mate, we are so thankful we are able to speak freely about everything!
The number one thing id add would be a sink inside with water running to it! would be awesome to be able to do dishes inside. Thanks for watching Sascha and sorry for the late reply on this comment :)
Hope you're well guys. Making an observation about your mood/week is not complaining. Great to keep it honest. Not every days a gem. Still a top video. Sorry but the vegan mince didn't work for me.
Hey guys love the content, got a question for you, how hard do you think it would be travelling aus with a dog ? What would I miss out on ect ? Cheers guys
Hey mate thanks for watching! in regards to the dog it would make it very hard doing what we are doing especially as we visit almost every national park possible. it was going to cost us a fortune to have our dog put into a kennel every time we wanted to visit a park.
I'm enjoying your videos, CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINION- I'm considering buying a Hitop troop carrier, the ones that have the the extended fibreglass hard roof top instead of a poptop like your one. In all your travels do you think the extra height of a hightop would have caused any issues to the places you have been? Like trees or uneven terrain? Not looking at doing any crazy full on 4wd'ing, just normal stuff like you have. Thanks in advance.
Happy to hear you're enjoying them Jon! I think a hightop should have no problems visiting the places we do! Even when popping our tent we very rarely encounter trees low enough to hit. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks to you both. Both of you just concider for 5 seconds, as your out and about enjoying your trip, some of us like me are stuck in a very cold factory in Melbourne, on a Sunday, doing a boring job for 12hrs, hence why I've considered the troopy. Cheers . Jon.
Further Tip , there is an amazing abundance of wildlife here, which does unfortunately include snakes. You may even be lucky enough to see the supposedly extinct thylacine , There have been numerous sightings and even some recent footage, I myself have seen one. Much of Tassy is working forest, trees grow very quickly here. If the subject interests you, come and see the truth of forest regeneration , far different than the lies of destruction , told by the green media. Lastly if you cant see the road ahead, slow down. It is not uncommon for sections of road to remain wet and slippery, when sunlight doesnt reach it. Soggy ground and strong winds also means trees fall regularly. Anywhere of the main road carry a chainsaw, incase you find the road blocked. But overall have a great time when you visit.
It's funny you mentioned how you both effect each others mood, you should research Dr. Joe dispenza book called becoming supernatural, and read the section on coherent hearts and body frequencies!! I think it could help you in these types of energless weeks!!
omg i swear u are following us. im gonna start looking out for you. Cardwell spa was amazing if u arent passed it go find some cassowarys at etty bay and another part marked on wikicamps. enjoy, life on the road has its challenges for sure, thats normal, start looking for things to be grateful for and recognise them. love n light x
low energy or not, still an enjoyable video, you guys being so natural is what brings me back all the time, it's not scripted, see you next week . cheers
Thanks so much Bob! 😊👍
Glad you two are feeling yourselves again. Thank your for talking about this, your mental health and the mental health of your viewers is important. Each time you talk about it, you will help someone who needs it.

You’re absolutely right! Thanks so much Shane 🙏🏼
I think anyone who has spent an amount of time on the road appreciates the dynamic.
It ebbs and flows, but so does time at home.
Thanks for another great vid 👍👍
Absolutely right! Definitely feeling more like ourselves now, I think we just tend to feel a bit guilty about having off weeks but its all apart of the journey!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for the fantastic video. You take us to amazing places where we would not be able to go too.
Hello both I have recently come across your youtube site and have to admit it has to be one of the best. I live in the Scottish Highlands but was born in Adelaide.

You’re spot on mate! Thanks for taking the time to comment and thanks for watching!! 😊👍
Cheered me up after a poor game from my AFL team, love your honesty
All the falls are pumping at the moment due to the late rain. Makes for great viewing. Thanks great video again.
Oh yeah it’s been amazing to see! Thanks for watching mate!

Thanks so much Paul!
Totally agree with you. Some epic locations visited this week. I need to get out there. Love the honesty of your mood.👍 Only fools would think it's always sunshine and rainbows. Keep it up.

Hey mate how did you go at Cardwell? spectacular isn't it!
Jack and Megan, Just a few tips for when you plan to come to Tassy. Weather plays a major part in where you can go and do , and whether its enjoyable or miserable. The best time to visit is November.

Energy could be one of two things 1. COVID 2. Genuine exhaustion, take the time we’ll wait 👍
Leaning towards the exhaustion side! But we’re feeling much better now thanks again mate 😊
Use a sheet of foil for your pan lid. I do it all the time
Shakshuka is the 💣
Was soooo good 🤤🤤
great video !! 🛻😎🤙📹🏞️
Thanks Brent! Glad you enjoyed it mate ☺️
Very Nice video. I crossing fingers.☺️👍

Are your expectations on the 2nd lap around living up to it or questioning why are we doing this at certain times. Keep up the great videos guys.
I think I agree with what you are saying nate if I am reading between the lines correctly. The first trip probably can't be matched because of the pure wow factor of being the first time. Even if equipment and planning are better the second time around it would be hard to match that first experience.
Hey Nate.
Yeah mate it’s definitely different this time round with having to plan out and worry about finances more which will naturally stress us. But in saying that we definitely love doing what we’re doing and feel we have definitely made the right decision. 😊😊
Low energy or not, just another great video.
Thanks so much David! Really happy to hear you enjoyed it ☺️☺️
Tully is my favourite town murray falls is my absolute favourite swimming spot i used to live down the road from it and go all the time but i would swim up under the waterfall haha
Would be so awesome to have that as your local swimming spot!
Good decision. Keep it real. For me it is what I like about your presentations. Its real life. It is good that you can express and share with us. I can see a difference in you both from your first lap. Is that due to the fact that you are doing more planning and thinking due to RUclips etc. and your audience rather than winging it and heading into the unknown like the first time round? Does this in itself create an invisible pressure within you both that you find you want to keep raising the bar? I am probably wide of the mark but the thing where you were considering doing something dangerous at the waterfall to get that shot.....was that for you, or was it because you felt it was something that would give a `wow' factor to the blog? You guys have been doing fine so far with everything you have shown and shared with us. Personally, and I am sure for everyone else too, we don't want you to put yourselves in harms way in order to `raise that bar'. We know that you both want to improve your presentation. We know a lot of hard work and effort both mental and physical, goes into the conception and final presentation but hey, don't let it take away or detract in anyway from the experience and joy of what you are doing. It should be fun and we will take it anyway it comes.
Cheers Phil! I think we always want to be putting out the best video each week that we can possibly create so we definitely put the pressure on ourselves at times 😅 that’s another reason we tend to get frustrated with ourselves when our energy is low. But with getting the shots at waterfall and things like that, that is more for us than the video because we just love it so much 😆 really appreciate your comments every week mate, we are so thankful we are able to speak freely about everything!
More Plugga content!!!! 🤣
If we can offer a tip, our mariage has survived 35 years so far based on one simple rule, no words before coffee ☕️😀❤️
Hahaha that is a great tip!
Thanks for the video 👍🏻 My question is: What are you missing in the Troopy, or what would be your next car if you could pick any?
The number one thing id add would be a sink inside with water running to it! would be awesome to be able to do dishes inside. Thanks for watching Sascha and sorry for the late reply on this comment :)
Hope you're well guys. Making an observation about your mood/week is not complaining. Great to keep it honest. Not every days a gem. Still a top video. Sorry but the vegan mince didn't work for me.
You should have put a layer of thick sliced potato or sweet potato on top of your eggplant thing. Great episode. And why is Megan still a girlfriend?
ohhh that's a great idea with the potatoes! soon to be wife ;)
Hey guys love the content, got a question for you, how hard do you think it would be travelling aus with a dog ? What would I miss out on ect ? Cheers guys
Hey mate thanks for watching!
in regards to the dog it would make it very hard doing what we are doing especially as we visit almost every national park possible. it was going to cost us a fortune to have our dog put into a kennel every time we wanted to visit a park.
Maybe try Athletic Greens like all the other RUclipsrs rave about???
Great idea! We were actually looking into that a few months ago, might be worth a try!
I'm enjoying your videos,
CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINION-
I'm considering buying a Hitop troop carrier, the ones that have the the extended fibreglass hard roof top instead of a poptop like your one.
In all your travels do you think the extra height of a hightop would have caused any issues to the places you have been? Like trees or uneven terrain?
Not looking at doing any crazy full on 4wd'ing, just normal stuff like you have. Thanks in advance.
Happy to hear you're enjoying them Jon! I think a hightop should have no problems visiting the places we do! Even when popping our tent we very rarely encounter trees low enough to hit. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks to you both.
Both of you just concider for 5 seconds, as your out and about enjoying your trip, some of us like me are stuck in a very cold factory in Melbourne, on a Sunday, doing a boring job for 12hrs, hence why I've considered the troopy.
Cheers . Jon.
@@jonsteele1783 Yes we are so incredibly blessed to be living the life we are! Troopy life is the way to go mate, you won’t regret it!
The height of a hitop itself shouldn't be an issue, the center of gravity will, however, change and fuel consumption increases.
I proposed to my sons mother at the bottom of Wallaman Falls.
What an incredible spot for it!
I all ways enjoy your videos, Did I hear correct baby talk,
❤️
Further Tip , there is an amazing abundance of wildlife here, which does unfortunately include snakes. You may even be lucky enough to see the supposedly extinct thylacine , There have been numerous sightings and even some recent footage, I myself have seen one. Much of Tassy is working forest, trees grow very quickly here. If the subject interests you, come and see the truth of forest regeneration , far different than the lies of destruction , told by the green media. Lastly if you cant see the road ahead, slow down. It is not uncommon for sections of road to remain wet and slippery, when sunlight doesnt reach it. Soggy ground and strong winds also means trees fall regularly. Anywhere of the main road carry a chainsaw, incase you find the road blocked. But overall have a great time when you visit.
It's funny you mentioned how you both effect each others mood, you should research Dr. Joe dispenza book called becoming supernatural, and read the section on coherent hearts and body frequencies!! I think it could help you in these types of energless weeks!!
Thanks heaps for the recommendation Chris! Definitely sounds like our kind of book!! Will check it out thank you!
Keeping it real is the best there is enough fake Insta style crap on the net 👍
