IT ALL GOES WRONG - FIRST TRIP

- čas přidán 8. 12. 2023
- This week it all goes wrong for the first time in 4 years on our first trip in our new setup.
This week we set off to make some awesome footage in our new setup while making a dash back to Victoria to try and see a mate. We find two amazing camps and we got some epic footage to find out when we arrived and started editing our content our external hard drive got damaged some how loosing some important footage for the episode. We haver taken the external hard drive in to a specialist to see if we could try and save it but at a cost of a $1000 and only be told 80% of the footage could be recovered we couldn't justify it.
So we sit down and share the experience with you and show some footage we managed to have on our devices that were not lost.
Hope you understand and still enjoy this episode and we will bounce back and get back out there to do what we love to do.
Thank you for understanding

Blue Rag Range trig point track is a really spectacular drive and not challenging, there's some really nice free camping around the Buckland area, right on the river - caravan friendly. Lots of easy/gravel tracks around Mount Buffalo with heaps of waterfalls. Heaps to do and see around Dargo and Omeo too, looking forward to seeing where you go!
I second that great place
Thanks so much. This is super helpful! Will look up all the recommendations! Have a great week 😊
I hope you are able to recover some of your data. Suggestions in no particular order. Beechworth Bakery is a must stop. Mount Buffalo, Bright and/or Mount Beauty would be a good base to do day trips from. Omeo, great coffee, camping at Hinnomunjie Bridge. Good camping along the Mitta Mitta River. The Dargo Pub as a base to explore. Also, Mansfield, Howqua and Jamieson to name a few. Some of the Vic High country roads and surrounds are not caravan friendly eg. road into Suggan Buggan. However, a magnificent drive. Looking forward to this part of your journey. Enjoy your week.
Thanks so much for taking the time to provide these recommendations! We are busy mapping it all out and adding all the spots to the map! I am excited about seeing a part of Australia we haven't done before!
Great episode and such a shame about the lost footage..
It’s pronounced Narr-ah-bry (Narrabri). and Nam-oy (Namoi) river.
Make sure you check out Bright as it’s stunning and not had a huge amount of rain out this way and Bright is smack bang in the middle of Mount Hotham and Mount Buffalo.
Thanks so much Kim, really appreciate it. Thanksnfor the tips. Will add them to the travel plan! Hope you have a great Christmas.
This was such a good vid, so good we r staying at Shanty on Nomoi tonight. Everything is so green it is glorious.
Thanks for being you honest and open
Thanks so much Ricky, hope you had an awesome Christmas!
Thanks for the update guys. Those camps you did show look absolutely fantastic. I must say, I really do like that new van. Onwards & upwards team. 😊
Thanks Dave. They were both awesome camps. Thanks so much for the support. Much appreciate it!
That was a great episode guys felt a bit more personal than just a normal episode. You should do one of those every now and then just to mix it up.
Thanks for the feedback Daniel, really appreciate it. Yes will take your advice and build a few more in!
Cracking Ep guys, I will watch you where ever you go.
Thats a bummer, but it was good to watch you so well done on the recovery. Look forward to the next episode.
Thanks so much 🙏 hopenyou have a great Christmas!
Hey guys, it really was a pleasure meeting you at morundah! Very keen to catch up with you again down the road. And sorry about the bad luck! It happens to the best of us!! Safe travels
Thanks so much mate, was awesome meeting you too. Thanks for the chat and have a great Christmas!
High country has some great places to camp and explore. Craigs Hut is a must see, Bright is nice town to see ( good Brewery )
and Dargo is a must , great camping out of Dargo . High country is a big area you could explore is for weeks.
Hi guts you all look so relaxed in the new van, was hoping you might have come back up the east coast but I know it's very busy in the December January period. Enjoy your trip an I look forward to your next video ❤
Hey there, thanks so much for the message. Yes I wanted to come east. Still don't know which way we are heading! Hope you have an awesome Christmas!
I loved the vid tonight. A bit of a chit chat. Can’t wait to see the high country vid. Murray river free camping is gold!
Thank you for the vid and sharing with us your tech issues. Totally understandable. We look forward to each episode. And Bobby has has matured so much over the last few months! not a youngster any more. ❤
Thanks so much Sharyn, yes he's growing too fast 😊
You must call into Halls Gap. Free camp 10 km out of town (rough road). Then climb The Pinnacles. The best views ever.
If you are staying on the Frankston peninsula you can take the ship across the bay to see the 12 apostles. About $130 car and caravan. Stay at Warrnambool caravan park to walk to the historic museum. Do the night show also. This is where the movie about a dog protecting the penguin hatchery was made. Then head to halls gap from here.
Sorry to hear about your data loss. I was initially concerned it was a vehicle or caravan issue so was sort of relieved but felt bad about the situation for you.
Thanks Grant, appreciate it. Luckily not a van or vehicle issue which are super common when you are permanently the road. Quite a challenge losing so much data. Hope you have a great week and awesome Christmas.
You both look very settled in the new van!😊
Oh and you’re always welcome back into SA😉☺️
Thanksnso much ahaha we just might end up back in SA! Hope you have a great Christmas!
Hi Sue wishing you and Derek an Bobby a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and a exciting 2024
THANKS Sonya, hope you had a great one too! Thanks for all your support 😊
Hey sue and Derek saw you in bcf today. Merry Christmas and safe travels 🎉
Merry Christmas to you! Hope you had a great one. You should have said g'day!
Hey guys thanks for doing a great job with your videos. Just a couple of questions please how much does your dual cab weigh now and how much does the New Van weigh. Very interested to know. Many thanks Mark
A good trip if you are interested, Bairnsdale then Buchan, Suggan Buggan, the Barry Way to Jindabyne then west to Tom Groggin and Corryong and on to Albury. Plenty of free camps on the Snowy and Murray rivers. Great photo ops and no serious 4WD.
Thank you soooo much, this sounds an interesting itinerary! Will have a look at all the areas mentioned!
Lots of awesome stuff to see in the Vic high country, unfortunately you won't get far with your big van.
Suggest camp at back of Dargo Pub, leave van there and do some day trips. Blue rag range is an awesome drive, also the track that does 30 odd crossings of the river is an excellent drive, plus plenty more.
Bugger, we were hoping to see you guys exploring the east side for a bit longer. Safe travels though, and big hugs for Bobby ❤
Solid State Hard Drives are getting cheaper and a lot safer I recently bought one just for photos as have lost to much stuff on conventional hard drives before , might be worth looking into to , enjoying your videos 👍
Thanks so much. Yes have looked into them. Just saving the dollars to get one big enough for a couple of years of data! Hope you had a great Christmas!
Hi guys
Happy new year, hope you guys are well, just hoping you are both OK as not seen any content now for 3 weeks and wondering if something is wrong or is Derrick out there drowning bait lol
Totally feel for you guys with the lost footage. We’ve lost the first half of our 2022 footage. So frustrating, I now have 2 hard drives and I use one as a backup.
Thanks so much, yes we are super neurotic now. Hopefully it only strikes once! Hope you had a great Christmas!
Looking forward to your high country adventures. We also heading there now for the first time. And as painfull as it is,nothings backed up unless it's in at least two places. I back up to two different drives and keep one on the van, one in the car. All completed content also goes to cloud storage for archive.
That's awesome news. We might cross paths! It sounds like you have the backups organised! Safe travels! 😊
Sorry I missed you guys today, hopefully catch up soon.
All good mate, hope you are well. Yes look forward to seeing you again. Bug hugs to you and family x
Craigs hut( Victorian high country)is a good little drive. In NSW try Geehi hut campground NSW high country.
Thanks so much Simon,, appreciate the tip! 😊
Loving your vids, hey just a heads up it is Narra-bri as in tri. Keep up the good work
Vic High Country. Park the van somewhere central then do easy day trips to…
Dargo.
Gafneys Creek.
Howqua.
Clear Hills.
Craig’s Hut.
Jamieson.
Enjoy.
That’s a bugger about the hard drive! Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen to us when we hit the road next year! 🤞🏽
Thanks so much. Good luck with your preps, 2024 is around the corner. When are you heading off?
@@suelandolt6840 2nd of Feb is our first night away though it’s only to Hastings point from Brisneyland! Just easing into it! 😂 How’d you go with recovering your data?
See you when you get to Tassie guys - so sorry to hear your loss of memories ps Crays are going well
Thanks so much guys. Sadly had to cancel Tassie due to the new vlogging laws. We won't be able to vlog or make content without a commercial license which is a substantial cost. We are really bummed about it.
So sad had a big cray in the freezer for you too
Head up Mount terrible very easy track that gives you a taste of what’s in store, then head over the other side to blue rag range, it’s a drive you cannot miss
Thanks so much guys, it's going on the lost!
If you haven’t re-used the reformatted card you can often recover the contents as the format is usually a quick format which just deletes the allocation table (the address book for the data) rather than the data itself.
I would probably use Samsung SSD drives rather than anything that spins - you might not be able to do the advanced data recovery on them but then they’re generally harder to break. The normal data storage methods with hard disks are going to be a hard ask when they’re getting bounced around. You could try an external 2 drive enclosure that mirrors the data onto two disks and use enterprise hard drives so you have redundancy.
Cloud backups are harder as I’m guessing the data is vast and upload speeds are your enemy for raw footage. If you can do it then Backblaze B2 is good as, rather than Google etc., it is their main business.
Thanks so much, this is really helpful! Hope you have an awesome Christmas!
To be safe, you need to work on 3 copies of your data, unless you can keep it all in a reputable cloud storage solution (Microsoft, Apple, Google). At least one of the copies should be remote from you in case of fire, theft, etc.
Thanks Simon, absolutely agree. Leasson learnt!
If you base yourself in Mansfield lots of good day trips. Upto Hotham, lots of good views on the Dargo high plains road. The hut run, huts like Craig’s hut, lovicks and bluff hut. Plenty of water falls to see like Paradise falls and bindaree falls ( few secret ones aswell) good camping on the Goulburn just of Jamison with the Van. So much to put into a message! Good luck 👍🏼
I’m glad your okay, we were wondering what happened to last weeks episode. Thank you for sharing your technical issues. We look forward to seeing your next episodes.
Thanks so much guys really appreciate the feedback. Hope you have a great Christmas!
So sorry to hear guys. Onwards and upward from here on. 🍺
Thanks so much, hope you have a great Christmas!
Sorry to hear about your hard drive. But look! You just created another great episode. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in the high country and then the Murray river. I'm doing my first shake down trip for a couple of weeks over Xmas on the Murray. Hopefully not too crowded! Albury to Echuca. Yay!!
Craigs Hut would be my go to.
This is where the Man from Snowy River was filmed. God's country!
Such a shame you lost the footage, we’re heading to the Shanty campground in the new year as we head to Victoria as well. Safe travels
Hey sorry to hear about the hard drive, have you looked at Lacie portable drives, they come with a data recovery service for the life of the warranty wich can be between 3 and 5 years, could be an option to investigate.
St james campfround, swanpool movies, Fry,s hut. Then Mansfield cemetery, Stringy bark Creek, power lookout, then down to King Valley, wineries, Greta Ned & family burial, then Benalla, get miners right and district wall, silo art. Then Eldorado dredge, Reedy creek, gem stones, and gold. You will find, Vo Gus videos will teach.
This sounds amazing! So much to see and do by the sound of things! Will get mapping! Thanks so much for all the info!
St James is just a place to stay for a Saturday or Sunday for swanpool movies, 1950,s style, pie interval. Tatong near, Tudor pub. Glenrowan robotic Ned Kelly last stand. Stringybark ck campground. Ned Kelly tree. Do the 1km walk. Easy. Lots of history.
Go to Benalla art gallery and get a free map on artwork in the area. Devenish is a must-see. Winton wet land and check out the big photo.
Lindy chamblin lived in Benalla. Violet town market. Biggest and longest in the state. Gapsted wines and food, but there are lots in the area. There is a beer place near Glenrowan. The dredge at Eldorado is big. You can go inside. It has been done out. If you go get a miners right 25 for 10years. A pan. Reedy ck, camping. Find a track. Down. Not campground. Dig behind big rocks. 22ct fine gold. A sauce bottle and metal straw. Also, look for glass rock , see through in the sun.
Benalla cemetery, barns grave, Ned Kelly second man. Also look online ww2 Australian airline crash. I think it n75x mosquito. The men are buried there. It was tied to Barns Wallace secret mission. Small bouncing bombs for Japan..
Words are hard mate, aren't they..... Narrabri (eye)
Thank you! We are shocking at pronouncing towns in Australia, add the accent, and I am surprised anyone can understand us at all 😂
@@suelandolt6840 You're sheepshaggers? kiwis?
Gotta backup to the backup and keep the data safe.....
100% lesson learned!
I suggest that you may like the Dartmouth Dam area and Mitta Mitta in the Victorian high country. Its not far from Albury and the Murray River. You can use your boat on Dartmouth Dam and catch some trout. There are also options for 4WD trips.
Head up to Craig’s Hut, there is easy to hard tracks to get there and great place to go, it’s in the movie The Man From Snowy River… sorry to hear about your hard drive issue, but try not to stress, we are still here… 😊
If I wasn't injured, I would drag my camper and show you the VHC. Lots to explore. Personally, I would find a base camp, then explore the area.
What was the place called near Narrabri on the Namoi? There’s also a great place near Narrabri called Riverbend on the Namoi River as well.
Hi Leanne is Shanty on Namoi. Great little stop!
Happy to catch up takeyou around some of the Victorian High Country.
Im based in Koonwarra.
Gippsland. Obviously there's a million spots to go. What parts were you interested in.
Licola, Dargo, etc.
Have a few videos on my channel that may give you an idea.
That sounds awesome! We are wanting to do Dargo next weekend hopefully. Will check our your vids!
There’s a fantastic low cost camp ground near Glenmaggie called Paradise Valley Campground. Large open areas to camp along Macalister river. Dog friendly and does have powered sites also although not on the river. Has toilets showers water and dump point…
Technology is a headache sometimes. Looking forward to your high country trip we are looking at that area next year
There is also another lake downstream from Dartmouth that is good for fishing from your boat.
Recommend Free camp at Jingelic Pub (great pub meals & boat ramp) on the Murray river. Then onto Paddy’s River Waterfall campground on the way to Tumbarumba
Missing you guys ❤
Shit happens eh. Thanks for another great ep all the same
Thanks so much.nhope you had a great Christmas and a good new year coming!
Hi Guys, Have you stopped posting? Can’t see anything after this and you said you will post next week. Cheers
Great ep, seemed like time stood still😂
Dang not nice if you lose all your data 🙈🙈
Nice video and when more or less are you doing the Oodnadatta track?
Keep up the good work
Cheers
Johnny&Rene
Thanks guys hope you both had a great Christmas! When are you hitting the road?
missing you guys , hope all is ok
West is best!
Ahaha yes it is amazing!
Hi guys
Are you able to do a pros and cons episode on the zone now that you’ve had it for a while?
Remember West is best cheers legends ☺️
Ahaha yes you aren't wrong there!
Sorry about your loss of photo data . I understand how disappointing that can be , memories on film gone forever . Would like to know where you stayed in Melbourne if not privately please . We have a caravan park we use if needed for caravan things or visiting family/friends but you need to book well in advance which is not always possible and when we needed one to change over our van in April …….all Melbourne CPs were full so camped at the bowling club (free) 40 kms north at Broadford . Look forward to wherever you go next .
Sorry about Tasmania. As a local, the filming permit stuff is an embarrassing joke. Hopefully they can get it sorted soon, we need good content makers.
Hi Derek sue and bobby with what you said about your hard sorry to hear about it. You might be able to look it getting a acount for the icloud where you can store videos and pics but you both produced a cracking ep this week keep up the good work look into the icould though its another solution to storage issues look forward to next week choi for now
I don’t know if it still exists but my dad took us down a track years ago in an old tilly. It was called devestation track. Can’t remember exactly where it was but around the Acheron area.
Mate that sucks! Same happend to me. 5 years of Gopro and Drone footage lost. First 5 years of my boys life videos, all
gone. At least I did save some edits on my CZcams channel.
Who is the company that you used?
I still have my drive.
Had it with multiple IT guys. Nobody can get the footage off.
Hey mate that is awful news. The company is in Melbourne but they send it off as there is only 1 company on Aus that does it apparently. We went to Elite Computers in Cranbourne. Hopefully they can help especially with the first 5 years of your son...
Oh no sorry to hear the data loss. Is there any reason you don’t have a cloud sync of your external drive?
Where are you guys? Looks like Haley and Brad are doing the Zone ambasadoreship now. Everything ok?
Guys, bit of a nerd here who has had his fair share of external hdd pain.
Invest in an ssd driver. They have no moving parts so are far less susceptible to damage. The old ones are literally like a disc (think vinyl record or cd) that can be damaged easily.
What was the Newell Highway like to drive? Have heard mixed reviews.
Hey guys, in small parts good but very busy, truck after truck and road conditions not great. Very whoopie.
External hard drives for backup are a nightmare, I've lost stuff before. Shop around, you should be able to get a new hard drive that fits you laptop and you should be able to get a case for it and it becomes a backup drive in case your laptop drive stuffs up.
Payam Data Recovery could do it, may be who you spoke to but $1K is about right. Take a look at SSD storage, slightly higher cost per GB for same capacity however less prone to being physically damaged. Have multiple backups.
Nar - a - bri…. 👍 bri as in try…
👍thanks
Always awful when you lose data. Great approach to have a minimum of 2 copies with one being remote. With your StarLink you have the bandwidth and data to sync to some form of Cloud for cold storage. Remote is important not just for corruption. There is theft, fire or the ole fat figure of human error. SSDs may be more reliable for travel but they are still no guarantee of not losing data either.
Hey guys when are you going to do another CZcams we look forward to it
Hope you get most of you footage back soon guys.
If you still have the Sony memory card you formatted, you may be able to recover the media. SanDisk SD cards come with a limited license for recovery software. It can often unformat the SD card depending on a few prerequisites. I think k it would be worth a try.
Hey guys sorry about losing your hard drive.
Just a few questions I'm sure you have probably answered a million times.
I'm looking at starting my lap early next year and will by myself my sons 13 & 10 with our 65kg 🐕. Any tips on travelling with a dog besides the stopping more often.
Any advice for starting out full time travelling would be appreciated.
Safe travels
That is super exciting news, congrats! When travelling with dogs make sure you plan accommodation ahead and have some cash in the kitty for any vet visits. Always plan where you can buy food for your big boy/girl as sometimes it's difficult when remote. Also use the dog filter to identify camps. If you are going to any pf the major tourist areas book dog care at least 2 or 3 months in advance. Make sure they have their tick and flea treatment and the grey seresto collar when in FNQ or north west. Travel is totally possible with a dog, it just requires more planning. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and enjoy the planning.
Thanks heaps for the info 👍.
Dudnt know about trying to book for Dog care or the extra protection for them when remote.
Safe travels
I recommend Mansfield Craig’s hut area leave van in Mansfield
Hi Guy's, Man thats a real pain. but at lease you can get some back. But the clock on the wall needs help as well as it hasn't move the whole time the video was running?
Hi Derick n Sue,
Can I ask what your new zone uned up with tare weight and payload.
Mark
Hi Mark, the tare is 2950. We only pack it to 5450bduebtonour set up but you can pack it to 4000kg if your tow rig can handle it
Head over to the Yorke peninsula when you are in sa
Hi Guys, we are on our way to Victoria, staying in the Yarra Ranges. Where are you guys staying?
Can’t go wrong at basing yourself either at Mansfield / Bright / Dargo / Jamieson. Issue is - what’s available?
Buy the book with ‘4WD Treks of the High Country’ by Craig Lewis. This book allows you to pick good tracks within your ability. I have used their books previously and find them very good.
Hi to you both. Just a question about your tinny. No more tinny missions? Or you waiting on boat loader/rack for it?
Waiting for boat loader
so hard when you drop a hard drive, I would reach out to tyler thompson or tim bates (both on youtube) as they have knowledge of the high country
Are you doing any new episodes?
Can I ask about your Starlink dish on your Van is it the current model Gen 2 dish
Check out Tim bates 4WD adventures he is your man up there enjoy
Check Tim Bates out as he is the go to man for the vic high country
Hi guys - $1000 to recover a hard drive is a absolute rip-off. Shop around and you should find someone that can recover all your files for you for a few hundred dollars. It is a simple job that takes about one hour of effort, however the duration of the data recovery may take up to 12 hours - the work is all done by a computer.
Thanks so much for the heads up. Yes we haven't recovered it yet due to the high cost.
Bundaberg please
👍
Go and explore bright
Thanks so much, it's on our list for after school holidays!
By a MacBook Setup iCloud …
Has Sue got enough coffee 😊?
Shop around for someone else to extract the footage from the harddrive .1000 dollars is criminal.
1000 dollars is about right if the drive has mechanical issues.
@@onatrailnearyou I must have good friends they do it for free.
@@RascalandClog yes you have great friends. 15 years experience and a masters degree tells me your file recovery may be a little simpler than what Derrick required however. I can assure you, these are the going rates if you want the job done properly.
