10 Years since my last Aerial Survey
มุมมอง 168ปีที่แล้ว
December 2012 marked the end of an era in my life. Since 2006 I had been working in Aerial Geophysical Surveys throughout Australia and Africa. I knew the writing was on the wall for most in the industry as the contracts were drying up, still it came as a shock when the time finally arrived. I left, not wanting to fight over the scraps of small contracts, not enough to make a living on and turn...

Installing a Kings Domin8r X Winch

Installing the Domin8r X Winch on my Nissan Navara D22 all by my lonesome. I'm not a pro at this stuff, so it's a learning curve for me and I definitely learnt a lot by the time I finished up the installation for the day.

Awesome spot
How's it held up till now Jimmy?
@dom0 brilliantly, no issues mate..
@@thejimmywoodser do you think I could get away with it running on 2 x cross bars attached to factory roof rails?
@dom0 still going strong mate.. just pick your times to set it up and pack up.. (non windy conditions)
@@thejimmywoodser excellent! thanks for the reply.
I was camping at Lake Baladjie & Tues night wind gusts all night 65kph, what a night! Last year went out to Yenyenning to camp and had to get the hell out of there immediately. The ground was thick and moving with meat ants and if I stopped moving they were climbing the tyres, it was like a nightmare scene! Never seen anything like it!
yeah my first spot I picked.. i started to unpack and then I saw the meat ants at my tyre.. so it was an executive decision.. move camp immediately 😂👍
Hi darling, what do you say? With my original Suzuki Jimmy 4x4, could it handle the roads of the Australian interior and Tasmania? (On my Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 from 2001 with a M13a petrol engine, I only fitted the reinforced Ironman nitrogas shock absorbers that go from standard trim to +5 cm in height. If I also fit the Ironman springs that, together with the shock absorbers, complete the +5 cm trim? Hi from Pontassieve, province of Florence, Italy!
@lmalesci hey mate.. yeah plenty of Jimny's around here.. even a dealership who sells them in the town I live in.. so yep, I can't see why it couldn't handle the bush tracks in Australia.👍

Sweet I love seeing your camping videos I’m glad you are doing them again
cheers mate👍🙂
hello greetings from Pontassieve province of Florence hello compliments on how you prepared your pick up it is really beautiful and then I see that you inhabitants of the Australian Bush really know how to do all types of work from the mechanic to the auto electrician maybe it is because you live kilometers away from the first useful town in case of emergency! kisses 😘 (I hope you also like my Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 off-road vehicle?)

Good vid! I thought you were putting it in back to front but then I realised the image was reversed left to right
@jasonknox1926 thanks mate, I did have to pit in, in an unconventional way, but it only required the forward/reverse know, being moved around to a different position.
Your part of the world is just breath taking! Thanks so much for sharing! 😊👍

Cheers for the review 👍 How does it go for water pooling on the canvas ? I'm thinking of getting one myself.
Not bad, but due over night soaks into the material.. so you will get a drip unless you drain it off periodical
I love the twin 060's running together pulling the freight carriages.
Yeah back in my DCC operating times.. nothing better than a double or triple header
@@thejimmywoodser I guess that is one of the advantages of running DCC (I know nothing about DCC whatsoever) I'm old school with a single controller and 1 train at a time.. but that is back in the 70 and 80's lol..
@Tim's bits n pieces I like DC because less can go wrong.. it's simple.. negative/positive and isolation... but I found with DCC... even with sound, with multiple workings on the one circuit.. it was prone to shorts and then your back to square one each time, resetting the trains because the controller restarted with the short.. DC on the other hand... a short.. nothing runs.. fix the short, everything runs... and keeps running.. simple, beautiful
That is soo cool to watch.. great fun I bet. I reckon if I built a layout it would be nothing but tracks everywhere and no scenery .... just so I can play trains.. hahahahahaaaaa
Looks fantastic.
Cheers ay🙂
The detail on this layout is nothing but awesome.. it is amazing why you don't have more subs and views...
Awesome layout and it shows you have spent a lot of time doing the scenery.
WOW, you have put a lot of work into that.. it looks fantastic.
Cheers mate.. yeah it's going to be a shame to have to dismantle my pride and joy.. but.. the next project will be around the corner...
Great stuff.... I have thought about an awning but as yet still haven't been away with my 80 series so I am waiting until I do to work out what I want and where.. I still don't have a roof rack as I cannot get the vehicle under the rollerdoor if it has a roof rack on it. It is still a work in progress... Great setup and gives me a few ideas..Thanks.
Thanks Tim, yeah once things settle down in my life again, I just want to replace the awning supports with square tubing.. something stronger than what comes with the awning at purchase.. I'll also need to upgrade the bracket that holds the supports in place, but it will mean the awning could be free-standing and more capable against the wind.
Great review thank you!
No worries mate, glad I helped
i just bought the xtm awning 270 and love it, is there any reason why you didnt get the xtm shower tent as well, it looks similar to the kickass one
Hmm at the time I don't think XTM did a shower annex.. I think it Waa just Kickarse and one of the expensive brands.. shortly after I got mine, even Kings was doing one. Glad you've had a good experience with your 270 awning.. mines still going strong, but now need to transport my whole set up across to my new Ute.. and I have no idea how I'm going to do that to be honest
@@thejimmywoodser is the kickass one see through when you use a light in it?
@@929cosmodude not sure mate, never uses a light inside it, always used it at dusk for a shower
Love the 2 BIL
I wish the HVTR did stuff like this now
Yep too bad they pulled out of mainline tours, I doubt we'll ever see stuff like this in WA ever again
you should of gone to the HVR anniversary
But what did HVTR run that was different to other weekends?
@@thejimmywoodser they ran both the steam ranger and the forest train on the same day, the had the dinner train on display, z1152 on dispplay and the XA was running
*they had
Great drone shots 😃
cheers mate;)
Hy Jimmy, if you haven't seen them . . . here's a couple informative youtube Mod/Up-grade video's for the XTM 270 degree Awning that may interest you . . . worth the look. th-cam.com/video/RPmnFZzzGyw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/gjQkK5sqgRc/w-d-xo.html
Jimmy, like the others and you . . . I brought a side awning 2 years ago for a speedy camp setup by myself. I didn't really look at any of the 270 degree awnings back then, I's just overlooked them due to the higher price back then. But with BCF Members price making the XTM 270 degree Awning $399 atm, I might have to go and have a 2nd look . . . $400 makes it a bit hard to overlook atm. Thanks for the review Jimmy.
No worries mate, just be careful with strong winds popping up out of nowhere.. my mate has one and was packing it up at a camp when a gust of wind came and caught it, bent it back.. says he's going to repair it and reinforce it at the centre joins.. anyways.. pegging it down with the legs is a must and when packing it up, do it quick😉.. otherwise it's a great awning mate👍🙂.. enjoy
What are the Maximum length of the pole legs?
Ooh gees you got me there.. because they are the twist lock ones and I can just leave them at the set correct height while packed up.. I haven't actually checked...I am 6ft tall and they do extend beyond my height...
@@thejimmywoodser thanks. We ended up getting it
@@jessicaharrison2343 hope you have plenty of good camping trips with it hey👍🙂
@@thejimmywoodser we actually just took it back. Snapped off when we opened it and snapped even more when we closed it. We were shocked.
@@jessicaharrison2343 woah.. sounds like a real dud.. Before I bought mine because I had read a few negative reviews online.. I got the bloke to open the box up in store and I took it out and opened it up as best I could to make sure I didn't get a dud.. now I might have just been very lucky.. but yeah..🤷♀️.. sorry to hear you had a bad experience with it.. let me know how you got on in the end
Excellent review! How is the awning holding up now that you've had it a while? Very keen to get one. Thank you for the review 🙂
It's held up well, no buckling, or any kind of breaking.. yes it is light and wind can be an issue if setting up in such conditions, but once you have atleast one anchor point down, I've not had any trouble with this awning👍🙂
@@thejimmywoodser Awesome, thank you 😊 time to go shopping!
what's the Hornby R of the restaurant coach? thanks!
I'm away from home at the moment, but it could very well be the R4816A.. looks very similar in pics online
Great setup 👍
Cheers mate
Thanks for sharing. Very informative review. I'm thinking that I might get an XTM Awning - it certainly has the stronger 280gsm poly canvas (pretty important). Liked and Subbed. Cheers
Return subbed👍thanks mate Yeah the XTM 270 degree awning is pretty good, it's not let me down yet.. it's the perfect combo of cost vs quality.. as long as you look after it ay😉👍
Hi Are you transgender ?:) Or do you have thyroid issues ?:) Not trying to be rude just trying to get up right !:) Cheers!
Don't worry I found your other video !:)
Hey that tool with the driver bits looks really handy. Any details on that? Cheers.
It's from a mob called 'Worx' and it's like an electric screw driver but with 2 cartridges containing all the different bits..
@@thejimmywoodser Great, thanks for that, I'll check it out. Cheers
Wtf are U a man or a woman? 🤢🤮
Sounds like the locomotive has asthma. It's weezing
Maybe.. it's all in pieces these days
Nice work, good use of the drone for effect rather than just for the sake of using a drone! Keep it up!
Cheers mate.. I'd love nothing more than to head back down to that spot for a couple of days right now🙂👍
Do you always use the guide ropes ? Is it sturdy enough with the legs down ? If wind is still
Generally I always use 2 guy ropes... Just for insurance, if you know what I mean... But it is sturdy with the legs down and without guy ropes... But yeah I live in a windy part of the world, so I opt for guy ropes everytime.
Linda viagem, acompanho sua jornada e tenho inveja de sua determinação e coragem, linda família a sua. PS: Perdão por escrever em Português BR.
Thanks mate and no worries at all.. I translated your message via Google. So I got the idea of what you are saying. Thanks for watching😁❤️
How are the brackets attached to the roof rack exactly? I have an ARB ladder rack and most poles on it are round :/
I've bolted the awning to the roof rack through the grill of the rack. I've got two brackets bolted in place at the front and one at the back as the rooftop tent gets in the way. I can take a photo of the mounting for you if you want.
@@thejimmywoodser thank you very much! I but the bullet and purchased the awning and managed to track down an old ARB awning bracket that attaches to the ladder rack bars. Suits perfectly 👍
@@off-roadwithacamera8866 good stuff mate👍🙂
That looked like one awkward task but you nailed it! Well done mate 😎👍
Cheers mate.. I'll be happy if I never have to do it again🤣
Cheers mate, seems the best option unless the budget is $1500 for a bush camper……..mine not.
So far so good mate.. just gotta look after it😉👍
Lovely Layout - I Came here looking for Dukedogs, and I wasn’t disappointed. Classic GWR items and Gr8 skills on show 🏆👍🏻
Thanks mate.. I friggin love that Dukedog.. what a classic ay👍🙂
Excellent review, thanks heaps for sharing, bloody awesome set up. I gotta go shopping now :)
Cheers mate, glad I can help others on here with a bit of info before they spend their hard earned👍🙂
do you know what the weight of the awning is?
Don't quote me but it could be about 21kgs🤷♀️
Wow, you're so lucky. One day I will cross the continent and check it out. Might have to sneak across the boarders at this rate. Happy camping mate.
Where are you from?
Yeah plenty of top spots along the sth coast to camp at and most are relatively unknown. Anyways hope once the lockdowns end, you get a chance to get out there and explore Australia.
That's a brilliant setup. I have just installed a 2.5x2.5 awning and I now regret not seeing this review first. Now I'll need to buy 2 sidewalls ect. The best thing about Aussie life is camping in the bush I reckon with the right vehicle. Thanks, mate.
Hey no worries mate, I did it the expensive way too.. bought a rear 1.4x2m awning and a side 2.5x2.5m awning over the last 12 months... And then in the end bought the 270degree awning as it's much easier to setup when your camping by your self. Anyways, it's a learning curve I guess.. cheers mate👍🙂
You should check out Black Diamond near Collie, I'm sure you'd like it th-cam.com/video/zJwxlBuMqpU/w-d-xo.html
Lovely spot would love to do a run down there with my drone
Happy to show you the joint one day👍🙂
great review! how does the bag hold up with rain when packed away? any water creeping inside of the bag? be great if you posted a video/review of your setup with the awning walls installed!
Hey mate, cheers👍... So far no rain has made it into the bag and we've had a fair bit of rain out here in the past two weeks. I'm hoping to get away soon.. gees this weekend would be great... Set everything up, enjoy it... And I'll make sure to do a follow-up vid with the walls up when I do👍
@@thejimmywoodser Does the part of the awning the butts up to the car have any velcro so you can put up an awning wall for a fully enclosed area?
@@vvti85 sofar I have only put the two rear Annex walls up. Not the first one, although that should butt up against the left passenger door. I doubt the fully setup Annex walls would give you a 100% enclosed room, as there is no wall on the driver's side where it over hangs the vehicle by a metre or so.
Thanks for the review. How’s it held up? Still no issues? I noticed it’s on club special for 399. Have you seen it any cheaper?
Cheers mate... I've never seen it cheaper.. but so far I have only been able to set it up one further time, as I unfortunately haven't been camping... But set up perfectly, no issues and I went the whole hog, guy ropes and put up two of the three Annex wall sections.. they passed with flying colours. I'm still very impressed with the whole setup.. yes you can see where there are potential weak points in the design.. but I believe, look after it, take care when setting it up and it should last you.👍🙂
every now and then there is a spend 300 save 80 deal at BCF - what I'm holding out for...
@@thejimmywoodser thanks for the response
@@vvti85 mate if you can get it cheaper than $400... Snap it up.. obviously it's no $1000.. or $2000 awning, but it does the job perfectly and I'm stoked with it.👍
