Welcome to the Victorian High Country | High Country Episode 1 

I'm from South Africa, i watched this channel during lock down hopeless indoors in 2020 and i was so inspired by your videos to restore my 4x4 and not sell it and start overlanding again, thank you Patriot Games

Love this vid love this family this is true success ❤

“That’s my daughter”. Love this family.

I have missed this format so much. Awesome episode. Cant wait to see more!!

Awesome vid! Love the vhc! One thing, the 5.0 in the vhc are the harshest of harsh and Learner drivers cant tow trailers in Victoria(illegal) Just a heads up incase you didnt know. I reckon its the best to teach the kids how to tow but the cops and government dont agree. Cheers

🎊🎊🎊🎊⛺🛻 welcome back guys Wow high country is on list ❤❤

Love that Ram 👍🏻👍🏻

Epic episode guys!

Hope you guys make it up Mt Pinnibar. The highest 4wd track in Australia.

Yeah, feels like the good old PG-days with "The Voice" back in the game....awesome

Rob's voice has slightly changed, his commentary adds to the show quite a lot.

Great video, but did you check if learner's can tow in Victoria? 😯

Looks like there is a few snorkels missing, who researched this before you went?

So much product placement! Its lie you are wearing a uniform to sit it the car all day!

👋🤙✌️👍😎🇺🇦

Yes! Back to the good old stuff! And Rob is back!!! What a voice!! Love this episode team!

Bloody brilliant! High country is amazing and well done Mia in that giant tank!

We camped in that exact spot at kings hut a few years back with our family, kids would spend half the day in that river. Such a great little spot. So great to see you guys doing the tracks we victorians love!

In the nicest way possible, About bloody time you guys came down the the vhc. Can't wait for this series!!

Hi everyone! I truly enjoy watching you and your adventures! I purchased an X-1 from your dealer in Utah in the United States. I did a lot of research before the purchase and decided it was best equipped for what I wanted to do. Unfortunately it did not work out as I had hoped. I had let them know previous to coming that I would be there on a specific day. I arrived when they opened to pick up the trailer and we went to their storage lot where I was shown the trailer still all zip tied as it had come off the ship. They showed me to the waiting area and said they would get it checked out and then show me how everything worked. I waited, and waited! About 3:00 PM they came out and informed me that there was a problem with the WEBASTO heater and they could not figure it out. But all was not lost as they had another trailer that they would check out. The equipment was slightly different and so was the price. They also had to completely redo the paperwork as I had already signed on the first trailer. I finally left the dealership at about 5:30 PM. The only training I had on the trailer was to watch the setup of someone else's trailer that was nearly done. To fast forward to this year, I brought the trailer home to get it ready for a camping trip and as I started to fill the water tank I turned on the pump to help bleed air and to get everything primed. When I turned on the tap it ran pure green (Glycol Green). The WEBASTO had frozen (possibly ) and the system was now contaminated with anti-freeze. At the end of the season last year I drained the system to the best of my knowledge and exactly how I had done winter before last. This was on May 28th. It is now more than two months ago and still no resolution! I have been told that you are trying to coordinate with WEBASTO for help and I needed to be patient. I was also told that if the heater is exposed to freezing temps that it should be run whenever the temps drop below freezing. That is every day between October and March or April, as there is no way to completely drain the heater. That information would have prevented me from getting the heater and possibly the trailer if I had known. I would just like to get this resolved! Thanks, Don Baker

Love it that your towing a small camper. Overlanding got so crazy the last couple years with espresso machines and fold out bath tubs. Its refreshing to see „normal“ equipment. Cheers from Dakar Senegal

Go Mia 4wding in the big RAM. Fantastic role modelling Justin. I have daughters a similar age to Mia and you have inspired me to get them 4wding behind the wheel of my Jeep Gladiator.

Awesome.....Justin you are a legend father...i am a single father of a 11yr old girl you brought a tear to my eye...Mia is going to be a amazing driver...hats off to you mate

Guys always enjoy a video in my Backyard the VHC, but correct me if I'm wrong Learners are not permitted to tow trailers in Victoria, maybe need to be careful.

Is it not illegal to carry (and especially use) a chainsaw in a National Park? Or is the high country not actually in a National Park (state forest?)?

Back to what we loved yes yes yes and the voice over guy love it love it love it on ya Rob

Epic 🎉❤ Love it

Great job Justin & crew. You did a few illegal things while driving, as mentioned. We in Victoria have strict rules on many things. Mansfield is my local haunt and where I live. The tracks you drove are just a few of many, in this vast 4wd paradise. Great job Mia driving, what a place to learn. My daughter started driving in the bush around there, when she was 12. She can now competently 4wd at 14. I couldn't give a crap about Victoria's nanny laws. Teaching a kid the basics of 4wding in a safe "in my opinion" area, is beneficial, not detrimental. I do have the benefit of totally off peak times out there though. Keep up the great vids.

Well done Mia, but I never knew an L plater was aloud to have a trailer in tow ? I guess when out there no L plater can get pulled up.

Where's the Black Truck??? The Ram is definitely more comfortable but the Black truck is legendary!!!! Again, happy you guys are back!!!!

You literally drove past my front door on the hume hwy on your way down. Im just over an hour from any gate way to the VHC and it still takes my breath away every time I get up there. Glade you guys come down. Wish I could join yas buy a fire in my stomping ground

Well Done Mia! You are natural when it come to drivning! Dont worry you Will be fine! We are all suporting you even me all the way from lovely Sweden! Injoy! 👍🇸🇪

Since I can't go and visit with me being in the states. Finally back to the camping! Don't get me wrong, also live the racing, but the camping is the best!

You guys are good at building trailers but the music, how about Australian artists, for a Australian product

I think you just nailed the perfect camping scenario, perfect family, perfect country and set ups. An awesome episode guys can't wait to get back down there.

A track you shouldn't take a trailer down is like a red flag to a bull aka the track being the red flag and Justin being the bull he is going to do it

I left the high country thismorning, hoping you will be going through the wonangatta valley in this series

So good to see the Patriot crew bring a video out in wat Is my back yard absolutely love living and exploring the high country every trip brings something new to explore awesome episode guys

love to see it i myself been looking to get into 4wd more and im born and bred in Mansfield and the surrounding Bush love it up here need to get out and explore some more

Would love to join you Boys in the fun... :)

I ran in to you boys at the servo in Narrandera on your way down. I had so many questions and stories to tell but didn’t want to be that crazy fan. I knew you were in for an awesome time when you said you we’re heading for the high county.

So awesome guys. I love that you do these as a family. Loved watching your builds and trips for years. Keep it up

Top quality Episode can not wait to see the next Episodes thanks for what you do for us to get a great Episode

Video production has greatly improved 👏👏 especially on the drone shots

Feeling like you guys haven’t been around for ages even though still catch reels and things. Great stuff to see.

Love watching all these videos so much another great segment ❤ thanks for the video guys

Awesome to see you all down in the high country producing this great content! It's a place I'm hoping to see personally soon too!

I think you guys should feature some of Mia’s music in your vids ❤

I absolutely loved this family adventure ❤...

Great episode can’t wait to there and check it out looking forward to new series

Great to see you guys back doing what you love best. Great episode and good on you Mia!

Fantastic episode guys an girls beautiful country there

Yeww!!. Bloody awesome episode keen to see part 2 keep up the good work guys

Honestly, best episode ever.🎉 Long time fan here…❤

Hi Justin and Patriot crew, great video in The High Country. Mia did a great job driving the Ram and so great in the High Country. If you and the crew are coming to Cape York this year let me know, I'd be keen to show you around the cattle station I live on in the Atherton Tablelands.

Videos like this i normaly try and follow tracks on google earth to see where people go. When you left Mansfield what tracks did you take, i know the main track this video was showing Kings Basin track to Kings Hut then onto Circuit rd and then clear hills track to Craig's Hut, then i got lost.... Awesome to see a home grown tour and not a sight n sound off racing. Well done Mia on your first 4B4 track....im feeling a baby blue Bronco in the future..hey Dad?..lol

Good to see these episodes again. Hopefully not to long between them again.

Hi David, the smaller cutting head helps I think. Maybe I’ll modify the Fiskars maul by cutting the head smaller ??

I like how dad has the L plates on when he was driving 😅😅😅

Too bad RAM is not available in Indonesia 😢🥺

Luv the vid, great to see the Fam! in the word of "billy idol i want more more more"

So amazing awesome epik video lovet

Who has been to the Highcountry?

Justin to let you know that anyone on their learners permit isn’t allowed to tow anything Australia wide

Welcome to our Backyard

Well done Mia you done so well 😃

Ooh yeah bring on the episode! 💪🏼

If possible , could you tell me what song was used on the 19.44 minute mark?

Been looking forward to new episodes love the family all together still hanging out and travelling our beautiful country.

great to see the family back doing these amazing trips, well done guys cant wait for more

Haha Sarah's face on that last obstacle. If there was no camera you were in trouble 😂

What suspension ya running in the MUX ?? Just out of curiosity

Love it

The shame about the VIC high country is that Eucalypt forest has taken over. It makes it fire vulnerable. If they re planted the Gondwana rain forests that were originally there (before the fire happy locals lived there for a few thousand years), it would rebuild the topsoil and become fire resistant.

What happens if you win the drawing and live in the US?

Love how the car with the air box that dose not seal gets jammed at the back

Also illegal to hold ANY heldheld device even UHF, just so other out there know and don’t get into trouble,

Love the video we need to see more of the FJ

Where’s the 49 and gu?

Love this family

How come the ram has NSW plates?

Illegal to tow a trailer on L Plates in Victoria, l know in QLD they can
