Another great video thanks for all the information, looks like you all had a great time and a clean run, looking forward to more adventures from you and your family. Happy Travels to you 🤗🤗

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks mate. Really appreciate your comments on our videos.

[@Surfshack77]

Just stumbled across this video and loved your informative review of some important considerations if planning a desert trip. I’m feeling more confident after watching, but still have lots to learn! Also loved that three generations of your family enjoyed this experience together - awesome stuff! Looking forward to checking out your other videos as well. Have just subscribed. Very best regards, Baz🤙🙌🙏

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks Baz. It can be quite a daunting process to plan this trip, especially if you’re not used to such things. The grandparents weren’t sure if they would do the crossing with us right up to Birdsville. In the end they loved it as much as we did and are keen to do it again as are we all. Good luck with your trip mate.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Good information. I highly recommend this track. But do it with friends.

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks mate. Yeah having company on these types of trips makes it so much easier. Especially if things go wrong.

[@fja212]

Great informative vid! Looking to do a similar trip with my old man. Just found your channel.

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks mate. Enjoy the trip. We all did and looking forward to do it again.

[@mikew419]

Hi thanks for the great vids. Just wondering did the Canyon RTT keep the dust out? Am thinking of getting one.

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks mate. Yes it did. Slight bit of dust on the outside of the bottom of the tent but nothing inside. Great tent. We love it.

[@Retired-Not-Expired]

Those meals looked yummy. A very informative video, great work. :)

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks mate. They went down well.

[@kennethstreet5734]

Good commonsense vid, looks like you had a great time👍 doing the Simpson in May👍

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks mate. Good luck with your trip. We had initially planned to go in May too, but had to postpone as eyre creek was impassable.

[@RitaDevi-rl8xd]

Its like watching a tv series waiting for the next episode great job please take us next time

[@AdventuringPals]

Thanks guys. Would love to take you along one day.

[@tonysmith9548]

Thanks mate. I appreciate the comment.

[@jameswebb3000]

Awsome I’m in the planning

[@AdventuringPals]

That’s exciting mate. Have fun with it.

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

Thank you fellas so much for taking us along with you much appreciated,thank you to for the post activity debriefing really informative 👍👍 have you talked us into doing it ? Not a hope in hell 😂😂you’ve just reaffirmed my reasoning for not going. The fly’s are a given but how cold the night’s can be may catch you out. As for fuel, I for one am mighty impressed, given the terrain and soft going it’s remarkable really 👏👏👏as for the toilet,I’m with your dad on this one only way to go . Currently at Lake Elingamite down near Warrnambool free camping and fishing or at least fish feeding 😂 👁️👁️😎😇🐕‍🦺❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@AdventuringPals]

Great to hear from you Graham. It’s quite an endeavour to take on a desert crossing and definitely not for everyone. I hope you keep enjoying your trip. We haven’t been down that way yet.

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

@@AdventuringPals if you do come down this way I hope you’re into crowds 🥲. You’ll need to park the van up somewhere and day trip,standing room only even on poor weather days. Think Gold Coast theme parks crowded and you won’t be too far wrong. We have managed to find quite places to camp be any attractions are swamped. ❤️🙏

[@AdventuringPals]

@@grahamwhittaker8844 oh wow. That doesn’t sound too appealing at all lol.

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

@@AdventuringPals Sorry,can only imagine it being worse when the weather warms up,or god forbid any kind of holidays.🥹🤬🤯

[@AdventuringPals]

@@grahamwhittaker8844 yeah I bet. Too many people know the good life now lol.
