Personally I love the driving footage with you narrating what you see and where you're going. Whenever Shauno & Graham roll out their camp stoves, I skip ahead until they're driving again. I appreciate that when you are filming the Jeep that you have to do lots of backtracking, but it's worth it!
Thanks Dave. Definitely keen to do more of this style and hope I get more comfortable and natural in front of the camera. I personally agree I never watch cooking stuff but food isn’t my thing I’d rather watch cars 😂 Leisa makes some amazing meals and we have not ever captured it and not sure we will.
Thanks for sharing one awesome video it’s always great to film something different for a change. Hopefully you both have a wonderful Christmas and get out there and do some camping trips in the holidays
Merry Christmas to you and all your family. Glad you enjoyed it, I had a great day out getting lost 😂 We sadly won’t get a chance for any camping over the coming weeks but have a few day trips planned. Hope you get some time on the trails.
Awesome video... Love this type of content, please s do more... I can appreciate the work that goes into doing such videos. I like the Mt Mee area, one of the first places I will be taking the Jeep... Its finally on the road !!! Merry Christmas to you both.😊
Thank. Really enjoy this type of video it’s just getting in front of the camera that still takes a conscious effort as not natural. Will get there eventually 😂 Great news you have the XJ on the road can’t wait to see it hitting the trails. Hope you and your family have a safe and merry Christmas.
Yeah considered that but covered a lot in the episode when we last went there. But thanks that really good feedback and advice. Will look to try include more next time.
well done on shooting something a bit different to what you normally do - Mt Mee is a great place to do some exploring but why are so many of the trails always closed up there?
Hey. I don’t know, I went looking after to see if I could understand why but nothing. Looking at some of the locks they appear to have been closed for a long time which is interesting.
i think but not positive that it used to be national forest, back in those days you needed a permit to drive out there and roads like the original jacky creek road( now it is central jacky creek road), butchers creek, the hanger(or could be called the diff breaker) and quite a number more have been closed when state forest took over, most of those tracks through neglect are even tougher than back then due to neglect
We are looking at ways to supply tack mapping the future but in the meantime try the Newtracs app. It’s free and has trails on it for most areas including their difficulty. It doesn’t advise is open etc so still refer to the relevant website for latest road closures etc. good luck and have fun in there. Matt

Thanks so much for your very kind words glad you enjoyed it.
Looks like a nice forest

I wonder how many deer are up there?
Who knows but if I saw 2 that would be just the tip of the iceberg.
@@filthyoffroadadventures I remembered the farms in NZ. Amazing creatures. So majestic.
Yes I still remember on a night shift in the Kaingaroa Forest listening to the Roar. Amazing
You were one sad boy after you realised you could not go for a swim
Gutted. Had been looking forward to flips and bombs of the waterfall all day 😢
I glad he didn’t take he’s shirt off :)
@12weeksandbeyond5 😂😂 would’ve been a very long shot with some grease smeared on the lens 😂😂

Thanks so much for that information, shame we never got a chance to drive them back in the day.
Nice video!
Is there anywhere to get a decent map of the area?
The national park map is okay but doesn't label any more than the few main tracks.
