Stefan, thanks for your great videos of your High Country adventures. I have just finished rewatching all of them. We are gearing up for our first trip to the Snowy River in 6 weeks time in our LR D2. Your videos are very helpful.

@AlloffroadAu 7 лет назад

great we are just on the way back from another 8 days up here

@slogue77 7 лет назад

Great video Stefan , We up to Buckland Valley and headed up to Mt Murray because of the video you did on it. Next month we are going to Wonnangatta station , thanks for showing us what all the tracks look like ... CHEERS!!!

@AlloffroadAu 7 лет назад

pleasure mate glad you found it useful

@christianvilpoux4277 9 лет назад

@peterrose5527 8 лет назад

ya should be a tour guide for the high country great video

@anthonyrussell4486 9 лет назад

Nice vid. Laughing for first 10 minutes as I've had my old Nissan Pulsar to the same locations - up to Mt Howitt/Vallejo start section (little surprise i recently had to have the engine remounted!).

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

good effort getting a Pulsar up there

@anthonyrussell4486 9 лет назад

Note that after the ten min mark I doubt I could even hike the trails you did. Enjoying your vids. Keep it up :)

@joelbarron658 9 лет назад

I've gotta say they certainly made the tracks at the start look harder than they are.

@trilhosaventuras 9 лет назад

Awesome Video, Very Good!!

@81two2door 8 лет назад

Cool Vid. Great amateur editing. Love it, want to go there!

@XperiaVideosCR 8 лет назад

The video is a bit long but I´ve watched all. Love your country and I have a patrol just like the one in the vid but with a bit more modifications. Great tracks there mate!

@andrewford80 Год назад

Tip for young players, SHIFT + > speeds the video up!

@80srok71 8 лет назад

love lake cobbler

@titaniumquarrion9838 5 лет назад

16.05 Why on Earth did they take the low side on that bend? Then again in trouble at 22:45. Of course I could also ask why anyone would go into that environment without a winch? I hope in the years since this trip Marion has bought a winch! :-)

@Malc664 5 лет назад

A challenge, more fun. Some don''t like chicken tracks.

@defendermodsandtravels 4 года назад

We didn't see how the driver got himself into that bother but I guess inexperience. Why no winch? By choice I don't use a winch. Various reasons including: 1. Often badly engineered and they fail when you need them. 2. They give a false sennse of security and lull drivers into taking unnecessary risks. If the going gets really tough you can always turn back. No prizes for being a hero.

@rodnymh 8 лет назад

Great video and trip, is it possible to list the tracks you gone through? Thanks mate

@AlloffroadAu 8 лет назад

yes, please have a loot at some of the other VHC videos they have most tracks in description or video

@scumpert 6 лет назад

Great video. What tyre pressures are you all running?

@HammerRocks 5 лет назад

What happened to the vehicle recovery footage? One minute, you guys are about to pull the Patrol out, then next it's out? What happened to the in-between action?

@AlloffroadAu 5 лет назад

The inbetween action was the recovery unfortunately no camera men as I did the recovery with Mark

@joelbarron658 9 лет назад

Also the part passing the hilux would've been easier if you'd got him to back up another 20 meters as opposed to on a rocky narrow piece of track.

@michaelnugara1 10 лет назад

Excellent vid guys. Love the deefer.

@carolynrobertson2114 7 лет назад

Iv done most of the tracks on this trip. Not sure it's a good idea to take vehicles that don't have winches

@AlloffroadAu 7 лет назад

in 9 VHC trips we used a winch twice, and it's no issue to have vehicles without winch as long as you have vehicles with one

@rhinocivilservices 9 лет назад

great movie.. amazing country as well.. id love to get some info off you on your maps etc. camps, river stations etc

@ItchyFeetOz 9 лет назад

hey thanks for sharing your experience with us, really was a great video, really enjoyed it. If I could syggest maybe don't speed up the obstacles, they are the fun bits. Can I ask, how did the Discovery go on the obstacles compared to the 110 ? Did it have any issues with articulation or traction despite it being air suspended? What tire was the 110 running, looks huge - and the Disco?. Thanks.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

+prana8 it was our first video so still experimenting we wont speed up the fun stuff anymore :-), The Disco did very well only in really slippery conditions the AT tires fall short. From memory the Defender was on 33" at the time (now on 35"). For standard touring the air suspension works very well, Mark has the rod's which keep the car in off road height no matter the speed

@ItchyFeetOz 9 лет назад

Thanks that rod mod sounds interesting. Know where I can get more info? I am in the market for a Disco and want to set it up for Cape York... hence my questions.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

would recommend LAMS used to have a highly modified D3 and that was the best mod I had done davisperformance.com.au/accessory/llams-height-kit.html

@gixxerturbo1100 8 лет назад

i laughed soo hard when cutting firewood

@willtheconqueror6030 10 лет назад

Placed it at 20:30. Nothing interesting there, just postponing when I wanna continue watching this.

@jeffreydean7644 8 лет назад

why do no one use jockaroo in 4x4

@AlloffroadAu 8 лет назад

sorry don't know anyone with a Jackaroo who takes it off-road

@anthonyvidaic1634 9 лет назад

hi my name is jacksepticeye

@Silent-instigator 7 лет назад

I think you spoil your videos by speeding up the footage. I would rather view it in real time.

@AlloffroadAu 7 лет назад

this was one of my first videos however can't have everything in real time videos would be to long as speed up still gives you an idea what happened

@nudibanches 8 лет назад

You attach the comealong to the "immovable object", in this case the tree. Most people seem to want to attach the comealong to the car. Don't.

@AlloffroadAu 8 лет назад

correct it was only there to prevent the truck from slipping off the hill, the recovery was done by the trucks winch, the advantage was that we could give me slack on the comelaong as the winch inched the truck forward without loosing the stability

@nudibanches 8 лет назад

Hi, I was referring to the first "incident" when he tried to winch his car out of the bog with the comealong attached to the car instead of the tree. He was then snatched out. In terms of the second incident, yep the comealong could only serve as a restrain or stabiliser in that scenario. Looked like a close call. We are hoping to visit that part of the world (from the ACT) in December. We hit the Brindabellas every second weekend or so, which are pretty steep in parts, but some of these tracks look even steeper.

@AlloffroadAu 8 лет назад

lol sorry, yes you are correct that was his self recovery attempt, we where 1k up the track, the comealong should have never been attached in the first place was not suitable for the situation a gentle tow did the trick in no time

@Digger43 8 лет назад

I've no doubt it was a brilliant trip, but I found the bulk of the video a bit boring and the camera person moved the camera around far too quickly. Next time you record one, make it half as long, that way it'll be entertaining for all viewers....not only the participants.

@AlloffroadAu 8 лет назад

+Geoff Spackman it was our first video, if you look at our newer videos you will see that we try to improve every video

@reubenworseldine381 7 лет назад

Nice vid. Worseldine track is actually named after my Grandfather, who worked in the area at the time. I've been past the track, but never on it.

@AlloffroadAu 7 лет назад

thanks for sharing, love to hear the local connections of viewers

@ramiressouza3500 10 лет назад

Awesome adventure! Australia is a very beautiful country! Monstrous 110! Thanks for share.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

Thank you Ramires

@Phil_McAvity 4 года назад

Watched for the 100th time. Time to do another VHC trip Stefan 👍

@AlloffroadAu 4 года назад

yes definitely time for a another VHC trip

@morphius131 5 лет назад

Learning curve, i flipped once for the same reason

@AlloffroadAu 5 лет назад

yes, he got scared seeing the rock in the middle and made the wrong choice..

@morphius131 5 лет назад

Rolled the g Seven times

@147258GS 8 лет назад

What tyres are Mark running on the D4?

@AlloffroadAu 8 лет назад

from Memory Dueller AT

@jeetts59 5 лет назад

Very difficult to find any car that runs on gas, mostly we ha e diesel or petrol

@gauravnakta 9 лет назад

The days confuse you hehehe. Great video.

@deldridg 3 года назад

Great vid. I'd be a bit reluctant to do some of that without a winch though! Makes me want to get out there again. Cheers and thanks - Dave

@AlloffroadAu 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it, yes a winch is a great safety tool would not travel without.

@darrenrichardson6936 3 года назад

Loved the video, some places I’ve bee too some not, but that was many years ago, hope to go there again soon

@AlloffroadAu 3 года назад

You should!

@scumpert 6 лет назад

What gradient is the spur?

@daytripper7815 9 лет назад

Firstly, I really enjoy your vids. Secondly, at 11:03, you'd probably get a foot up our ass for playing that music in such pristine conditions; such Bogan behaviour. The Aussie bush is meant to be enjoyed by many people, of all walks of life and who have the intention to "respect" everyone else sharing that campsite. If you guys were the only ones there then cool, but if I was there, then we would have had some issues. Tread lightly, respect the bush and everyone else.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

nothing bogan about playing 30 minutes of music, at minus -3 degree around the camp fire in a empty camp site mate, and yes we do respect the bush and fellow travelers. Good to know you watch out for us and make sure we don't do anything wrong

@daytripper7815 9 лет назад

Agreed.... and I'm glad that you guys respect the bush; quite a number of people don't which is very disappointing and have been the cause of closing down / locking out respectful 4-wheel driver like us. Keep up the good work and the vids. Cheers

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

Thanks Mate, I know where you are coming from as we see it every weekend and believe me I/we dislike nothing more then a bunch of Bogans who wreck it for everyone by throwing rubbish, wrecking tracks or keep us up at night with music and drunk unruly behavior. If you watched more of our vids you will see that we are certainly nor that type of people. PS. Tasmanian Climes Track video is uploading as we speak..

@peterbarber7613 6 лет назад

no idea in recovering a car.putting straps to the roof rack what a laugh

@AlloffroadAu 6 лет назад

as you can see the strap on the roof rack was not holding the vehicle and had no load on it it was just one additional safety, the load was on the strap around the rear bar and chassis rail... But I certainly agree that a roof rack would not be a suitable place to anchor any recovery strap to hold load.

@morphius131 5 лет назад

Beginnars ,that's a highway, i can not imagine how the Patrol got in that position

@AlloffroadAu 5 лет назад

Yep he was a beginner, mistakes do happen

@klackers 4 года назад

How the hell did he do that.... Was he even looking where he was going?

@AlloffroadAu 4 года назад

Yea mate we were wondering as well, we recon to fast not much experience and just a human error going to wrong side of diff catcher

@steinwaygrande3971 9 лет назад

Are the Prado`s petrol or diesel. I have a very good reason for asking this question, I hope someone gets back to me.

@matthewpaton807 9 лет назад

the 150 series is diesel. not sure about 90 series.

@steinwaygrande3971 9 лет назад

Both come as diesel and petrol.

@matthewpaton807 9 лет назад

i know. but if you watch the video you can see a d4d badge on the 150 series. therefore its diesel.

@steinwaygrande3971 9 лет назад

Yup, I can see that. I have the 4.0litre V6 Prado VX model.

@jeffreydean7644 8 лет назад

in all 4x4 treps I see no one has a jockaroo

@titaniumquarrion9838 5 лет назад

Because they aren't very good 4WDs....

@bobcolman7348 9 лет назад

What brand of winch bar is on the Defender and does anyone have any comments on it?

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

not sure of brand as it was on truck, really like it though as the winch is mounted on top, will soon get bar customised with brush bars etc.

@bobcolman7348 9 лет назад

+AllOffroad.com.au Taking delivery of a new Defender next week after many years of Landcruisers and Range Rovers and am considering what bull bar/winch bar to get. I've always had ARB steel bars but I think they spoil the look of the Defenders so am looking for something else which will give me some protection as well as cater for winch installation a bit later. Will be interested to see how you customise it.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

+Bob Colman have a look at the xrox bar

@gullf1sk 9 лет назад

aw the offroading was in fast forward. thats too bad.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

+gullf1sk was our first video mate, still learning...

@gullf1sk 9 лет назад

+AllOffroad.com.au Awesome, i'll keep watching :D

@camfam52002 9 лет назад

What is with that 70's porno music?

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

***** makes you feel young again ;-)? Music without copyright is hard to come by and this was one of our first videos so just put it on mute if it annoys you or don't watch.

@camfam52002 9 лет назад

AllOffroad.com.au All good mate...great vid and deserves a thumbs up. The music gave me a laugh more than gave me the shits.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

***** thanks mate :-) glad it made you laugh we sometimes don't do that often enough

@Unisoldat 8 лет назад

Изумительно! Красивые места и великолепные приключения. (Amazing! Beautiful place and great adventure.)

@ItsGotToBeTrumpet 9 лет назад

Got to 1.30 and I can't watch any more. Terrible camera work - no way can I watch 45 minutes of scatter-gun recording. Glad you enjoyed it - regrettably I can't.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

Swing West Jazz Orchestra sorry mate no professional camera people at work here, but we keep improving this is over a year ago. Feel free to lend your expertise and join us on a trip as camera man though....

@mountainblue-miniatures1797 9 лет назад

AllOffroad.com.au Ha haa. Excellent response. One thing I have learned after over 40 years of being a photographer and a 4x4 enthusiast... to drive the high country (and other places) is blissful, but it is almost impossible to shoot professional looking film and drive a truck. It's either one or the other, so I restrict myself to shooting stills while on a trip. Now, being a passenger with camera is another thing altogether. All the very best and safe travels.

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

***** we actually prioritize our adventures! The videos are for fun, but we always hope to improve on the filming (if you have a look at our Chanel you see that this is the first video) and subsequent video's have improved. Feel free to come along as dedicated camera man as it is actually difficult to drive, film, spot etc. But fortunately no one is forced to watch. As we have a few subscribers quite a few people seem to appreciate the effort which is put in to it without any commercial return

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

***** no worries where are you located, close to Sydney?

@AlloffroadAu 9 лет назад

***** just drop us your phone number and I let you know couple of days before we go out again you can ride shot gun would be great to have a dedicated camera man alloffroadau at gmail.com
