Oh hell yeah!!! This is exactly what's been missing from my life!!! I love a good +30min podcast, hopefully this will grow into something big!! Geeze, there really is so much to be covered off in a weekly/fortnightly podcast, from gear, to trip reports, to interviews with other industry experts, to types of camping (bush vs beach, paid vs free), camping for day trips/wknd/big tours, camping on a budget, sharing content like photos and videos of viewers out on their adventures and hopefully some competitions with Snowy gift vouchers as a prize. So excited, great job!!
A serene little spot in SA, a bit over an hour from Adelaide, with loads of fishing and water activities, thanks for the heads up, Sammy Chicken. ~ Ben
Great to see! How about discussing the big one no one seems to talk about, the toilet. Chemicals v thunderbox etc and the use of them, disposal, all that stuff!Looking forward to this!,,,
Thanks for the kind words, Brad. Regarding gas fires, as a general rule, total fire ban means no fires, including gas. it would be worth checking with the national park that you are staying in as national parks often have their own guidelines. Check out this info for example from the National Parks Service here in SA - www.parks.sa.gov.au/know-before-you-go/fires-and-bbqs, other states and territories are likely to have similar information listed. ~ Ben
Id like to get both your thoughts about the future of Australian manufacturing within the camping/hiking and touring sector, seems like a lot of the market has gone overseas to compete but I’d personally like to support Aussie manufacturing and Aussie jobs as much as I can. How long will it be around for before it’s all outsourced internationally. Cheers callum
This is a big topic, Callum, and probably a little political for what we want to discuss on this show. There is a focus on Australian Made now though, Blacksmith Camping supplies for example have started making canvas products in Adelaide in the last few years, Ottie Merino have their Australian merino t-shirts manufactures in Melbourne, and Aussie Outback Supplies have seen an uptick in business since Covid, and they make a host of canvas gear including swags in Perth and have been doing so for many years. We have a bit of info here - www.snowys.com.au/australian-made-camping-outdoor-gear, but we've not likely got enough expertise to comment for all product types on the in's and outs of the challenges of manufacturing in Australia sorry. ~ Ben
We are still waiting on the approvals on Apple podcasts, Ben, it's taking longer than we had planned for sorry. Hopefully it will be there before the end of this week. ~ Ben
@@SnowysOutdoors thanks love your videos and the new podcast 👍 Also as a topic I’d love to know what tent Ben uses for his family and lightweight camping gear as another topic

@@benlux2625 both things that are on our list, Ben. I reckon people will be largely underwhelmed with my setup, I'm very much a minimalist. ~ Ben
A good subject would be camp safety
