We took on Burgoynes Track in the Vic High Country, only for the troopy to end up on the back of a tilt tray. Not the way I wanted the weekend to start.
Thanks to Braydon and Shannon and the crew I was traveling with for hanging around and supporting me after the accident.
Also a shout out to Mark and Rachel from Aerial Motors - Towing for coming to pick the troopy up and make the trip back rather entertaining considering the circumstances.

my new favourite you tuber. can’t believe i’d never seen this bloke until today. i’ve got an old 105 -1hZ. this is my perfect idea of travelling. solo. nice camps. nice tracks. nothing crazy.

@aguyandhistroopy 6 месяцев назад

Cheers mate. Thanks for getting onboard the channel. You have to love the old 1HZ but we’d all like a little more up and go. 🤦🏽🤣 I’m not into massive bog holes or damaging the old girl … but sometimes you just got to do what you got to do !! Cheers Jason 🍻👍🏼

Mate a Jeep!! Never mind as long as you are good, some wicked tracks up there, I like the Crooked River track and the Collingwood Spur, white knuckle driving that is when we did it some 30 years ago.

Yep … A F@&king Jeep, and it drove away, where I was on the tilt tray !! 🤦🏽🤦🏽

@derekroper6297 3 месяца назад

I agree on your call not to risk that river crossing….. I had a similar experience a couple of years ago where the water was maybe a tad deeper and the guy I was travelling with was egging me on to cross … I walked it and it was up to my arm pits (I’m 5’9”) I don’t regret my choice btw👍

@aguyandhistroopy 3 месяца назад

Yeah now that is deep, fuck that. Even if you made it you’d have a car full of water and a massive clean up. It’s more the flow that worried me… didn’t feel like getting washed down stream. Back of a tilt tray wasn’t a plan either. 🤦🏽 Thanks for watching mate and taking the time out to comment 👍🏼

@trickster8635 Год назад

Another time for that river crossing. Good decision, it has claimed a few in it's time. If you crossed over the tar and headed up Burgoynes East side, you will find a ripper camp on a high pimple over looking the valley.

@aguyandhistroopy Год назад

Yeah… but sometimes I wish I’d crossed it, might still have my troopy on the road, or it could of been down stream ?!

Great video as always Gavin. Very glad youve come unscathed, as Troopy can /will be fixed and back out there mate... Saw that you went to the show, and was on the look out, would've been great to say G'day. But the place was hectic, would've been like "Wheres Wally" in there trying to spot people. Cheers mate.

@aguyandhistroopy 2 года назад

Hey Hodzy, yeah was at the show, crazy how busy it was, and the rigs on show … all massive, out of the average blokes price range I reckon. But I enjoyed the day there. It was a good outcome really, no one was injuried, no panel damage, just suspension and driveline… which I will upgrade with the repairs. Glad you liked the episode. 👍🏼

@einfelder8262 Год назад

Just caught up with this episode. Burgoynes track is a favourite of mine, both sides of the river and then continues on further east as well. The unfortunate prang with the Jeep was a bummer, BUT - had you tried to cross the river, the Troopy would have been a writeoff. You would have been on your side and having a bloody hard time opening the door upwards to try and get out. We've crossed the river when it was much lower, 800mm, and even then it was an eye opener. Hiluxes in the convoy floated..... my Patrol didn't, but only just.

@aguyandhistroopy Год назад

Yeah Ein, spot on mate, as much as I wished I had of crossed it, then I wouldn’t have hit the Jeep, but the big picture would of been a lot worse. There will be other opportunities to cross it … I’m looking forward to finishing the track. Thanks for watching.

@darrenrichardson6936 2 года назад

Sad ending . I did Burgoyne track a few months ago from Walhalla to Licola and it was a great track, but the river wasn’t too high when we did it, I want to do it from Licola to Walhalla next time or even East from Licola looks good🇦🇺🔥🍻

@aguyandhistroopy Год назад

I’ll definitely hit Burgoynes again … and next time I’m definitely crossing the Macalister. So many good tracks over that way. Looking forward to getting the troopy back and getter mg amongst it again.

@collieyak971 Год назад

Oh mate, I’d love to find out more about how that happened. I would imagine it was a costly transport home 😢

@aguyandhistroopy 11 месяцев назад

Sorry for the slow reply. Insurance paid for the tilt tray 👍🏼 Just bad timing I guess, came around corner, I was slightly over the wrong side of the road, the jeep was well over the wrong side of the road, he pulled hard to the left to correct himself and my front tyre made contact with his back drivers side rim and tyre, this causing my steering and suspension to be ripped apart, not body damage what so ever. Could have been so much worse, I had a 50-80 mt drop off on my side of the road I could have went over or it could have been a head on, with serious injuries. Later found out his L plater son was driving, which he denied. Cars can be fixed, its back better the before after being fucked around by the panel shop for 7 months. Hard to keep a channel going through that but I managed.

@margaretgreenwood5380 2 года назад

@aguyandhistroopy 2 года назад

Your not wrong there Gary, you can hear them coming through the hills when we were there waiting for the tilt tray, all on the wrong side of the road. Definitely could of been a lot worse and in so many ways, I’ll take this outcome!

@touringwithtyrone4933 2 года назад

Trust you’re ok after that crash. You seem to be in fine spirits considering the circumstances. Need to find a better way to check out a creek before crossing. Maybe a depth sounder on the drone 🤓🤓 Glad to see you’re ok. Great video

@aguyandhistroopy 2 года назад

Yeah Tyrone, I was happy with the outcome of the crash ( as weird as that probably sounds ) no one was injured, I didn’t end up over the embankment and no panel damage. But pissed it was a Jeep that took the Troopy out. Yep, that water was way to cold to walk, but i now know for the future.

@matblack8479 Год назад

Do you reckon you could have got through the river with that current and depth? Looked pretty strong when you walked across Whoever hit you on Tamboritha must be been doing some k's? Your mood was pretty up given the circumstances. Credit to you

@aguyandhistroopy Год назад

Hey Mat, it probably was doable, just whether you wanted to risk the potential damage if you came unstuck. I did talk to a couple of guys in a patrol and 79 series dual cab, both on 35’s and 4 inch lifts that done it that afternoon. So I wish I had of attempted it now… I might still have my Troopy on the road?! As for my mood, no one was injured, really it should of been a head on, or me over the embankment.

@tomschannel5380 Год назад

I think you made the right call not to cross that river - more than 100cm deep and flowing hard is an accident waiting to happen - it could work but it could go sideways (literally) very fast...

@aguyandhistroopy Год назад

I hear ya Tom, I still think it was doable, just a couple of rocks that made it a bit tricky. Either way, I think hitting a Jeep was a better option then drowning the troopy !

@stavio12 2 года назад

Love the Licola area, some great tracks there. Same thing happened to me about 2 years ago where my hema app on the tablet froze, thank heavens I had the rooftop maps as back up. Even though we knew our route we never exactly knew where we were on the tracks i.e, how far to go till the next intersection or river crossing. When I got back from that trip I just forked out the cash and bought the HX1 on special for $500. Hema app is ok, but Gaia app is pretty good for free. Shame about the troopy mate, main thing is you're OK.

@aguyandhistroopy 2 года назад

Bahaha… when you said the same thing happened 2 years ago I thought you were referring to being taken out by a Jeep. I use HX-1 also while driving but I love my Rooftop maps also, and use Newtracs App as a reference when going into unknown places. That’s it mate, no injuries, and the troopy will be back better then before. Thanks for watching mate. 👍🏼
