You do realise the reason they say they are a must is because they would be supporting them and they get them all for free and in return they have to advertise them as much as possible.
OMG so refreshing watching someone without all the bells and whistles to show off, keeping it simple!!! Most guys are glamping in their 4x4's these days. I grew up roughing it and still love to keep it simple.
I’ve had it all, Expensive, medium and low cost. Now in low cost mode and like you, never looked back. Been around Australia twice now and having so many options with roof top tent, awing, spare tent and set up like yours gave me options big campers didn’t. Each to their own and depends what you prepared to live with. The only thing I’ve added is a gas bottled shower unit made by Companion. This is for dishes/showers off grid. For $450, wonder why I didn’t buy earlier. OH, I’ve dumped extras to carry extra 100ltrs water and purchased 50m thin hose to run from creaks to unit. I don’t have 4wd, but SUV and set up similar. Yes, takes more time to set up, but running/replacement costs so much less. Great vid. Thanks
I do motocycle camping and hiking myself so the sheer amount of crap that people think they need boggles my mind. So much of it just adds cost and complexity. 4WD lets you carry a good camp chair and a big ice chest which is all the luxury i need.
it's all about getting that little bit more comfort and convenience with small upgrades here and there, before you know it you got a 300 series with a caravan :D
Circumnavigated Australia with my mrs in a tray back land cruiser and 2 swags. Put a blue tarp up when it rained. Pretty funny to see all the shit people think they need.
Great stuff I find it way better watching clever hacks done by some people that use their brains as opposed to bigger channels that drop 250k on a fully sponsored rig.
It was such a pleasure to watch you two young fellas setting up a simple camp and enjoying that beautiful riverside camp site. My setup is similar with awning and sides, big swag, portable fire pit, and generator etc...but all in a 6 x 4 trailer. I'm not hardcore 4WD but love camping! Oh!...and have a drone too for those beautiful aerial shots. Great work, keep posting...thanks!👍
Nice set up, it's amazing how many things you can open a bottle off, seatbelt works too, spd mountain bike pedal is another, always best to.take cans though heaps lighter to transport full or empty, and take up less space
Liam, don't cut the Engel cable, get a flush mount Engel-style socket. You can unscrew the cig plug adapter off the fridge cable and plug it straight in to the socket.
I had an old triton ute with a small crane on the back, i used to just extend the boom of the crane out and hang my hammock off underneath it. If you put a tarp over the arm of the crane you basically then had A frame tent on the back of the ute. Had to hide the jack handle that was cranked to move the crane upwards though otherwise people would try to make your hammock go from horizontal to vertical while you're still in it lol.
That Raspberry Pi running Linux is unique! Never seen anything like that before. I don't really have any need for it but now you've got me wanting one to play with.
Bought a RTT thinking it was going to be comfy but I was so wrong. The ladders are near unbearable with no shoes specially after sinking a few brewskys. Gone back to an Oztent with a blow up mattress and wouldn’t go back.
Great vid guys, like the data upload 12v box. With the drone charging maybe a step-up voltage regulator, a lot of the guys use them for their travel buddies. check it out...
Get a voltage step up converter for the drone similar to what we use for things like the 12v ovens to make them run optimal, that will make the charger happy.
My mate and i went camping with an esky , sleeping bags , food and water supplies. Easily in Cowra NSW night time sleeping was -5 so not too bad. 😅 Cost us $200 total for 3 days 2 nights, lol
You don't need to cut the cable of your fridge 12v plug to put on an Anderson plug. I got the whole cable from 4wd supacentre for like $20 with an Anderson plug that plugs into the 12v plug on the fridge, and I still have a ciggie plug cable for if I ever need it
We’ve been travelling around Australia now for 10 months with just our double swag out the back of our 80 series . RTT’s are a gimmick and once you put some thought into it they don’t really add up .
I love my Toyota Sequoia because it serves as a amazing overlanding rig and camper setup, plenty of space for gear and sleeping space inside, no need for any tent.
The only possible practical use for a rooftop tent would be if you were camping somewhere the ground is literal mud. I've never been impressed since I first saw them, why would I want to climb up and down like that? Great video guys!
I prefer to sleep inside 😃 but you have nice simple setups. My plan is to do my first long trip solo and with a really basic setup. I first gonna travel before building my camperbox 😄
I really like liams patrol because it’s so rough it’s cool and it’s been used and is still going to be used for a Long time and it really shows why replace what’s not broken?
Thanks for sharing boys. Love the basic setup. I think people complicate camping by taking to much and having to much. Good job. How do you rate the XTM drawers?
So true. My girlfriend and canoe/camp with only our food a few supplies , a sleeping bag and a tarp. And these are deep in the northern boreal forest of north west Canada. Mo shit, mo problems. Plus a portage with gear monkeys is painful. Same with travel over seas. I carry a school sized backpack. For 3 to 6 month stays. I get a kick from all the people who go out and spend 1000s of dollars on gear to travel Europe etc . When they can get anything they need in Europe for far less. And half the things people bring they hardly use. I get a kick out of watching people struggle with their abundance of borderline useless gear. And then there is the people who need the most prim accommodations. Some of my most memorable experiences come from sleeping in a ditch or park in some far off land( russia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Romania etc.) Being uncomfortable at times is actually what i believe makes living worthwhile and memorable.
Hey guys would you be up for connecting and sending me a bit more info on your file transfer / camera charging setup? Looks bloody epic and I'd love to put something like that in my Suby L series!
Kings smart isolator ! don't really need DC DC on these older cars, unless your anal about battery health, but even then ive had my AGM for almost 3 years using the isolator and its still in great condition. more comes down to how you treat you battery e.g how many cycles
You guys think this is amazing. You'd be appalled by how much fun we have for so cheap when me and my dad go camping. I'll have to make a video this summer and post it!
Awesome stuff guys nice to see people just getting out there and having fun! you only really get to know what you need when you find you don't have it lol 😆
My last Vic High Country trip was with 2x10l water drums. One for drinking and one for emergency backup between the two of us. We used creek water for washing and cooking. 10l would cover us for the 3 days that we could travel on our food and fuel stocks.
Here is our little bonus video showing our setups, this Sunday is part 2 of the High Country Trip! Cheers guys!
I’d give it a year and you’ll be Australia’s best 4x4 channel
You can buy an inline pump that you attach to your drill. Would have enough grunt for your needs and cost like 20 bucks.
Dont ever stop! Telling people how to keep it simple and keep it cheap, will be such an encouraging thing for a lot of people!
What? Where's the $15k DMW canopy and $10k Redarc 12v system? I thought they were a game changer and a must have? haha
It is a must have according to DMW and Redac.
Dont forget the stupid toiletry bags for 300 and fridges for $2000+ from arb yeti and all those deros
Give me ridge ryder or give me death! Na just kidding but fuck all that expensive shit lol
You do realise the reason they say they are a must is because they would be supporting them and they get them all for free and in return they have to advertise them as much as possible.
@@mayhemsforbigboys no shit really?
OMG so refreshing watching someone without all the bells and whistles to show off, keeping it simple!!! Most guys are glamping in their 4x4's these days. I grew up roughing it and still love to keep it simple.
I prefer basic setups like this to the $10k 12v systems you see. Nice and versatile for different kind of trips. 👌
Mo Money Mo Problems
@@AussieArvos what site did you get the swags and bin bag from ?
@@JordanGlennon www.raingersupplyco.com/
I think lithium power stations are a better way to go. Can be used for multiple devices and you don't lose them if you sell the car, my two cents.

Proof you don't need the best gear to have fun while camping/4WDing. Great work boys.
I do motocycle camping and hiking myself so the sheer amount of crap that people think they need boggles my mind. So much of it just adds cost and complexity. 4WD lets you carry a good camp chair and a big ice chest which is all the luxury i need.
it's all about getting that little bit more comfort and convenience with small upgrades here and there, before you know it you got a 300 series with a caravan :D
I keep waiting for that 300 to mysteriously show up in my driveway, any minute now surely! 🤣
Circumnavigated Australia with my mrs in a tray back land cruiser and 2 swags. Put a blue tarp up when it rained. Pretty funny to see all the shit people think they need.
spot on!

Really nice setups boys well done.
Last time camping we had a Eski and a Kmart tent
Liam, don't cut the Engel cable, get a flush mount Engel-style socket. You can unscrew the cig plug adapter off the fridge cable and plug it straight in to the socket.
Probably already sorted but can buy a plug made with Anderson 🍻
I had an old triton ute with a small crane on the back, i used to just extend the boom of the crane out and hang my hammock off underneath it.
If you put a tarp over the arm of the crane you basically then had A frame tent on the back of the ute.
Had to hide the jack handle that was cranked to move the crane upwards though otherwise people would try to make your hammock go from horizontal to vertical while you're still in it lol.
For a shower, get a 5l pump sprayer from the hardware. Easy, cheap, decent pressure for a shower and minimal water used. Take one everywhere I go 🤙
Nice one gents. So long as you're prepared for the trip you're doing, there's no need to spend big on gear. 👍
That Raspberry Pi running Linux is unique! Never seen anything like that before. I don't really have any need for it but now you've got me wanting one to play with.
Great episode guys, you prove that sometimes less is more when it comes to camping. Keep up the great work fella's
Bought a RTT thinking it was going to be comfy but I was so wrong. The ladders are near unbearable with no shoes specially after sinking a few brewskys. Gone back to an Oztent with a blow up mattress and wouldn’t go back.
first vid ive seen of yous and immediate sub, good stuff wish i had a 4by but cant sell my commy haha
Great set up. Looks simple and very functional.
Your still glamping from how i used to do it! But i was more into stealth camping. Thumbs up boys for getting out there and enjoying the good life!
I’ve never seen anyone with a onboard video storage system. Didn’t know you could make something like that. Pretty cool!
I 100 percent agree with you about the RTT. They are more trouble than they are worth.
Can you show more about the Linux card dump setup?
Awesome video guys, it shows even those on basic budgets that it's all food, less is sometimes more
Great vid guys, like the data upload 12v box. With the drone charging maybe a step-up voltage regulator, a lot of the guys use them for their travel buddies. check it out...
Get a voltage step up converter for the drone similar to what we use for things like the 12v ovens to make them run optimal, that will make the charger happy.
I like it. Just discovered this video. It’ll be on my Facebook within minutes.
Good to see you guys representing an alternate way to do things.
My mate and i went camping with an esky , sleeping bags , food and water supplies. Easily in Cowra NSW night time sleeping was -5 so not too bad. 😅
Cost us $200 total for 3 days 2 nights, lol
You don't need to cut the cable of your fridge 12v plug to put on an Anderson plug. I got the whole cable from 4wd supacentre for like $20 with an Anderson plug that plugs into the 12v plug on the fridge, and I still have a ciggie plug cable for if I ever need it
Or get a posifit socket from ebay for around $17. No need to cut the cable then.
The shower set up is awesome! I wld use something like this on my car if i had it.
We’ve been travelling around Australia now for 10 months with just our double swag out the back of our 80 series . RTT’s are a gimmick and once you put some thought into it they don’t really add up .
Well presented bud, love to hear how you have your awning mounted to the canopy. Thinking to ditch the marque and upgrade to an awning
How refreshing, great video.
Very good. Young men. Keep go n the right way mates.
I love my Toyota Sequoia because it serves as a amazing overlanding rig and camper setup, plenty of space for gear and sleeping space inside, no need for any tent.
Love the set up, camping should be simple!!
The only possible practical use for a rooftop tent would be if you were camping somewhere the ground is literal mud. I've never been impressed since I first saw them, why would I want to climb up and down like that? Great video guys!

I really like liams patrol because it’s so rough it’s cool and it’s been used and is still going to be used for a Long time and it really shows why replace what’s not broken?
Great setup, would love to know more about the long fire pit at 1:07 min
Cheers for the run down guys. Looks like an awesome setup!
it sounds like your awning just needs some seam sealing if its leaking out! super easy and cheap to do
I tie up the side of my tray on my ute and use that as a Bench/Table
pat, ya should get a 180° awning for that extra rain protection at the back of the 80
i'd love one hahah they just cost an arm and a leg ahah!
Hey lads just wondering what size is liams canopy is 👍
Thanks for sharing your set ups .
Keep up the good work fellas.
The drone vision is fantastic.👍
Will u cut your tray sides down so u dont have too drop them too access your canopy
Good work boys. Replace those water jerry taps with snap taps. Way better.
They look more prone to let the water out unexpectedly??
Need a lil 100buck 12v pump for ya water. Bit more pressure. But yeh. Cheap n easy setup
Liam are you gonna raptor your car an tray or gonna leave it how it is abs should get xr6 seats in the pooie
Love a cheeky mid week vid 🤙🤙🤙
Is the patrol going to get a lick of paint in the future?
Maybe Raptor paint?
Fuckin Amen to the caption!!! Glamping is a real thing. You can camp with very minimal items ,👏
Whats the B12 Volt Board? Can you post a link to the product? Thanks. Great vid.
With your leaking awning, it probably just needs to be re seam sealed. You can get stuff from most camping stores that deal with hiking tents
Did you guys do an install / set up video for that raspberry pi build? Looks awesome
Good job boys, digging your gear
Nice easy simple setup awesome and works well
enjoying your vids. Wondering what drone your using? keep up the good work.. Cheers
Just the older Mavic pro !
where can you buy them RT2 Swag? got any link? Thank You
Thanks for sharing boys. Love the basic setup. I think people complicate camping by taking to much and having to much. Good job. How do you rate the XTM drawers?
Hey mate I’ve got one without the sliding top and it’s mint. Also lighter then 4wd super centres.
Really good, still slides like the day i bought it!
So true. My girlfriend and canoe/camp with only our food a few supplies , a sleeping bag and a tarp.
And these are deep in the northern boreal forest of north west Canada. Mo shit, mo problems. Plus a portage with gear monkeys is painful.
Same with travel over seas. I carry a school sized backpack. For 3 to 6 month stays. I get a kick from all the people who go out and spend 1000s of dollars on gear to travel Europe etc .

We need a updated rig rundown and cost brake down
Minus sponsorship!?😊😊😊
Are the swags world wide or they only sent a few places ?
You can buy an engel to anderson plug pretty cheap on ebay mate, better than cutting the ciggie plug
Ciģ plugs are unreliable. Just cut it off and solder an anderson plug or if your fridge is permanent in car wire it direct to house battery.
Yeah my plan was to get everything from eBay
Except driving lights and other stuff
I prefer a traditional swag with no annoying poles. Also no awning if no rain- real simple
Hey guys would you be up for connecting and sending me a bit more info on your file transfer / camera charging setup? Looks bloody epic and I'd love to put something like that in my Suby L series!
Does anyone know what brand the snorkel is on the patrol and where to get one??
Are there any cheaper options on this style tent? Love it but at $500+ it’s out of my price range
Kings big daddy swag does alright!!!
Pat: What DC to DC charger are you using in the cruiser?
Kings smart isolator ! don't really need DC DC on these older cars, unless your anal about battery health, but even then ive had my AGM for almost 3 years using the isolator and its still in great condition. more comes down to how you treat you battery e.g how many cycles
Awesome stuff guys .. big thumbs up
Awesome video bros love your channel
You guys think this is amazing. You'd be appalled by how much fun we have for so cheap when me and my dad go camping. I'll have to make a video this summer and post it!
What drone do you use?
DJI mavic pro! had for 3 or so years now
I can use PVC. An a tarp. It wont break ❤❤
love the camping setup guys
Why do you need 85ltr of water when you are on the river.
Never far from water in the high country
Don’t cut the engel cable, Jaycar sell replacement one so cut one of them into a Anderson plug
In the city it’s called being homeless… in the bush it’s called camping…
Liams setup looks homeless in the bush lol
Pretty sure they actually have a home though... There is a specific reason why it's called homeless...
Nice one, have you done a vid on how your raspberry pi setup works?
Aha I just got a 65L fridge for Christmas I’ve got a feeling it’s too big now yall only have 45Ls
Great set up boys
Awesome video nice set up😁
With the Linux setup, is it dumping to a single drive? Or is it going to a 2-drive RAID for backing up your video/images? Great vid , cheers.
good job mate
Ya take a 30-06 up there it’s pretty isolated, ya know wild dogs lurk’n up there
What are wild dogs gonna do to them? And the 30-06 is way overkill for a dog, even a .223 is plenty.
Awesome stuff guys nice to see people just getting out there and having fun! you only really get to know what you need when you find you don't have it lol 😆
Always the best
where abouts did you camp fella
Good on ya lads! Better then the big boys! Good down to earth content! Hats off to all of you! 🍻🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
why so much water.
we got down to carrying just 20l 90% of the time.
especially when there is river water to use for washing etc
My last Vic High Country trip was with 2x10l water drums. One for drinking and one for emergency backup between the two of us. We used creek water for washing and cooking. 10l would cover us for the 3 days that we could travel on our food and fuel stocks.
You don't need a Anderson plug on the fridge google engle socket your engle cable can be screwed on its way better than Anderson plugs
I went to dvc high school aswell
Angle or Engle?
