Possibly the most important video this channel has produced. We all have to do our part. We all need to be able to say to someone “ that’s not acceptable, what you are doing will close more tracks”. This issue effects more than just the 4wd community.

I dont think you understand the real problem they are identifying here, nor do I believe you have watched many of their videos and paid attention. Never have these boys left behind rubbish or car parts in the bush. Never have they not used a track that was not already made previously. There have been times when they have had to make a track due to the untouched area such as Northern Territory wetlands, however they all continued along the same path and if you think upsetting mud and gouging out tyre tracks is unacceptable, then I think you should start protesting the housing construction industry!

If 4wders lower tyre pressures, on the track using less right foot, the track damage is minimal, but we just returned home from W.A. through N.T. back to Qld and in some camping spots, the rubbish and litter discarded 4wd parts beer cans etc poorly buryed toilets are a bloody disgrace Regional councils don't have the labour or budget to clean up these sites, we always try to clean things up in general we all need to better. Just my opinion.

Spot on the money imo mate. We did the Border track here in SA/Vic. a while back and it was the same story. One spot had a half buried dead double air bed that had obviously failed whilst another had a full garbage bag of cans and rubbish buried just below the surface that the local wildlife had found, dug up and spread all over the place. In some areas dheads had been doing circle work and tearing up the place and there were empty beer bottles scattered through the bush on some of the walking tracks. Unfortunately I also think that people watch the way that these guys use their vehicles and just want to copy them. Seems the footage has to get more extreme and stupid to keep folks entertained.

Most people that spend a lot of time in the wilderness stick to it very well, but we still have the same problems in our more popular areas where the city folk frequent. I've spent entire weekends going around to some favorite spots just picking up the trash left by others.

We need influential people like yourselves to help the wider 4x4 community understand most tracks are only closed because of the grubs who don’t give a shit about anyone else other than themselves millions of dollars are spent across the state each year to repair and maintain fire lines to mitigate serious bushfire risk only to have a segment of the community do so much track damage during wet weather that they can be rendered useless as fire lines until you spend 10’s of thousands of $$ to repair them again. Who do they think pays for these repairs , sure as hell not the crowds who do the damage As a community we need to regulate ourselves better so we don’t continue down the closure route. People need to understand that there is serious money spent to repair unnecessarily damaged tracks

when you guys came to mcbrides in Forster we had on average 30-40 4wd vehicles using the track on weekends, but after you did a story on the track we had over 300 vehicles a weekend and now its closed permanently, it was a unkown local track that a few people knew about, sadly you created an interest that just went viral after your magazine hit the shelf , its unfortunately a flow on from the mass discovery you create , same thing happened to the old coach road out of wisemans ferry and Wirraba ridge all closed due to large amounts of traffic after featuring in 4wd magazines prior to 4wd action, The destruction created by lazy 4wd people who leave rubbish or as in mcbrides case 4wd drivers trampled down a 20 metre section of natural vegetation to create a much wider entrance because they couldnt drive through the first obsticle at the gate ( thats actually the first clue that you shouldn't go any further )as well as the rubbish left behind and the road rules violations and noise as every muffler less 4wd charged up and down the hill leading to the entrance to Mcbides day and night , its a by product of the fame you bring to any location you feature

What you're saying is true and the people who ruin it for the rest should be banned. To be devil's advocate here though, in places like the Rubicon, Moab or even where I currently live in the Middle East, thousands of people use these trails/regions each weekend and none are close to being shut. I'm Australian and have lived there a long time, and I know for sure this is all because of the 'Nanny' state attitude in Australia and also doing whats good for their own pockets....I never realized how controlling the police and government are back home until I watched from the outside. Just like Shauno said, a track gets shut down on one hand and a mine with hundreds of drill rigs demolish the same bush on the other.

Mixing of soil layers can't be undone, intentional rutting and bogging yourself just to prove your fully sick rig can get out, or to test your mate's new winch.

I know you guys just drove Rubicon Trail in Northern Ca. We here had similar issues in 2012 and 2015. People driving the area out of bounds and ruining drainage areas and people dumping trash caused the local Councils ( El Dorado and Placer) to temporarily close the trail for extensive work. They almost did not reopen until the 4 wheeling community went to meetings and convinced them we will monitor activity and keep it clean. At the entrance at both ends to Rubicon a driver can pick up absorption pads to contain fuel and oil spills. Nobody now leaves any sign they have been there, we all pick up after ourselves because we know the County or the Forest Service could close the trails anytime we mess up.

I would hate to lose these tracks before I get to see them. It’s safe to say that on all my next trips I’ll be saving plenty of space for everyone else’s rubbish on all my future trips.

@Mafk101
@Mafk101 10 месяцев назад
Sorry lads but I have to give a bit of an unpopular opinion here. 4wders do cause damage when we drive tracks. Particularly in the steep, clay soil areas. Those tracks, when chewed up by 4wds, turn into erosion gullies when it rains, and funnel huge amounts of silt into the headwaters of creeks and rivers, that would otherwise have been held back by vegetation. I love 4wding personally, and don't know what the solution is. On top of that, I gotta say fellas, sometimes the way you lads drive tracks really isn't a good look. 35 inch muddies, big lifts, twin locked, going full noise up a steep track when it's had a lot of rain... You can't say this doesn't chew the track up big time. You even mention it yourself when you're going through in convoys of 5+ cars, how much it gets chewed up for the last couple of vehicles. Not only does driving like that damage the track, but it also makes it a lot harder for management vehicles, which tend to be on 33s with a modest lift, if any lift at all. If they can't get through because it's been rutted out by rigs with big setups, then I really can't blame them for throwing a gate across it. You both brought up valid points on the hypocrisy of a lot of track closures, but I hate to say you, and all of us, aren't blameless either. I think we all need to take a look at how we drive certain tracks, and should take weather conditions into account and maybe look for easier routes that won't chew tracks up. Just my 2 cents... Sorry for the long post.

As many others have commented, their local tracks were closed after the 'big channels' did an episode on driving those tracks at a time locals know not to because of the damage it causes. Some followers of those channels then go out and do the same then, as you pointed out, it becomes too difficult for local agencies to maintain the tracks and they just close them. I'm also going to be a little more controversial here and say in my opinion it's a bit rich for any channel whose business model is built on the 'I got bogged 10 times in 100 metres' video to be calling out track closures. A cynical person might suggest their business model is dead if the 'exciting' tracks close (or are even seasonally closed) after being carved up. The idea of fighting track closures has a lot more credibility, in my opinion, if it's locals petitioning for those tracks to be open on a seasonal basis rather than anyone with any commercial interest calling this out. A lot of our local tracks are now seasonally opened and this approach saves a lot of damage. Opening on a seasonal basis might not make for the 'money shot' when you make commercial videos, but it ensures more people who just want to get out of a weekend or on holidays get to continue to enjoy do so.

This is true, the solution though is to create more 4WD parks that aren't running through protected environments. We really should be encouraging all outdoor activities, unfortunately so many forest have been logged or developed so what little that we have left is often there for conservation. Create and open more state forests, 4WD parks, and recreation areas IN ADDITION to National Parks and reserves because they serve a different purpose.

Not just rubbish but a bloke we seen on the OTT with a massive lifted 79, at least 35" tyres and towing a full size off-road caravan, it would have been sam creek or canal creek, but had a bump up, he couldn't get the van over the lip, 4 attempts (every time tearing up the track) the decided to hook up winch, was so much weight the winch couldn't do it, so he doubled over, and while winching he has the tyres turning at high speed in like low range 2nd or 3rd so was just spinning and tearing the crap out of the track finally got the car and van up but now made 35" ruts, and a pulled over tree, and just laughed.... I'm thinking "you just ripped the crap out of the track with 35" tyres and it will be impossible for someone with 31" tyres, AND NOW THERES NOT TREE to winch off either... No wonder the tracks get torn up so bad that responsible 4wders just can't do the track...

Fair to say people got stuck in and within 2 hours I had a private message asking me to pull it down. Fair to say I said I will go past there again at 6pm tonight and if it isn't cleaned up, not only will I leave the post up but also I will tag the EPA in the post.

Looking after the bush and the tracks is not just rubbish, it also covers how the tracks are being driven on. A lot of the blame has to go towards certain people that have a RU-vid channel, who on a large portion of their videos, show themselves flogging the hell out of their vehicles and complete destroying the tracks behind them. Creating unnecessary ruts and digging holes with their wheels when bogged.

Some ideas 1# once a month clean up trucks for popular spots around Aus. Apart from the wet season. 2# possibly paying a fee to camp and drive on tracks. Money is used to maintain camp sites and tracks. 3# being able to move obstructions from the road and cut fallen tree on the road to keep it clear with out getting in trouble. 4# Big bins in strategic points on the tracks or camp sites that can be removed weekly or monthly. Manly for people to put there rubbish when it’s hours from the nearest bins. 5# A clean up of metal parts and cars left in the bush. I don’t know exactly how it would work but it definitely needs to happen. Especially when you drive for 4 days to get up the cape and there nothing but burnt out cars and car parts everywhere.
