Convoy rules the world over: Every car is responsible for the car behind them. That way, nobody can get lost.
100% agree
I do recall a trip where one of Ronny,s mates got disappeared down the wrong track some time back 😀
Agree. In a convoy you wait at the turn for the car behind you and drive after the car has spotted you
Same rule applies when riding with a group of motorcycles corner marker…
@@Scicluna83 was just going to comment the same. That, and occasionally rotate the order of the convoy (even if the lead maintains the same for navigation reasons)
I liked it when Jack Absalom cruised around the desert in his Mitsubishi Sigma wagon 😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣
Good stuff. One thing about carrying EPIRBs and sat phones, make sure you place them in a vehicle so that they are within reach and won't fly off into an inaccessible corner if you are in a roll over or serious accident. A good alternative to a chain saw (which is quite bulky and dangerous in the wrong hands) is a reciprocal saw with a big blade. That will get through pretty thick branches and is a lot more safe to use.
When traveling in convoy, any turn we take we wait until you have a visual of the vehicle behind before proceeding. That way everyone knows which turns are being taken and directions can't be misunderstood. It also keeps the whole group traveling at roughly the same pace and no-one gets stuck on their own in event of a breakdown.
Frightening to think people actually hit the tracks outback without knowing the basics !
I once came across a bloke bogged in the outback. He said, “Can you help me out, mate”. I said, “Sure, grab your snatch strap” He said, “ What’s that?” I said, “Ok, we’ll use mine, just grab ur spade & dig around where ur sidesteps are caught up there” He said, “Don’t have a spade” 🙄.
…….almost drove away & left him…….I later heard he drowned it a few crossings further away. Can’t help stupid. 🤷🏼♂️
Brilliant video guys!!! A must watch for anyone who is seriously planning on hitting the outback.
No Worries Ronny, Mate I love these segments so bring it on.
This is a really informative, interesting video. My experience is entirely around the Scottish highlands and islands. Fascinating to see the adjustments you guys have to make and contingencies you have to plan for (like snakes!!) in your neck of the woods.
Yeah Ronny, all these little details are soo important and most people never talk about them.
So if you've never been around this sort of stuff growing up or just starting out then you won't know.
These are fantastic videos mate
Awesome content and tips mate. Paper maps never go out of fashion. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!!!
Sharing your knowledge and experience is very valuable to your audience, especially those of us who are not Australian but planning on touring your beautifulcountry. Thanks.
Always love the informative vids you guys make. Keep em coming
The all black outfits in the middle of the outback look badass
I’ve had an electric chainsaw for a while now, the battery lasts for ages and it is every bit as powerful as my old petrol powered one. It means that I don’t have to carry petrol and put up with the smell.
sharp chain helps, too.
I use a large reciprocal saw. it does the job great and I just buy new blades. so much less hassle than a fuel chain saw.
Love the advice and these types of videos!
😂hahahahah that intro is gold!! Hahaha
A great video and always good to refresh these things in our minds. Thanks to both of you.
This is a brilliant video for the outback traveler. Really useful and lifesaving information with a dash of humour, very well done.
Great tips, everyone should know...loved it!
Love these types of videos. Keep up with the teaching please.
Really enjoyed this guys!
In respect to getting lost/ not getting lost: Have a briefing before setting off, pointing out landmarks on your maps, so that everyone knows what the destination is, routes (pronounced the British way), land marks etc.
The gate rule music was sublime. I was transported to another world where Ronny was selling me life assurance "Yer folks are guaranteed the money mate" he kept saying... Wild
Yeah more please!!! Thanks Ronny and Torbs
Great video Ronny, please do more of these 👍🏼
That was gold!!!! Torbs is wicked at acting
Good tips guys, very beautiful out back shots, very nice camera work, 👍👍👍👍
awesome stuff and advice and very interesting and its a awesome way you guys do this showing us how in the real Aus outback ... luv that... thanks heaps and big thumbs up
pretty much spot on and the right amount of time to the segments. only thing I will say is in some places a marine EPIRB is illegal/discouraged/frowned upon to use on land, plus the emergency gets directed to the Coastguard rather than the Lowland/mountain rescue stations. Having the right kit is just as important as knowing how to use it. :-) That is actually something you can do, a PEB/PLB test/rescue with one of the services, it gives everyone real situation training and would give a fantastic video filmed from both sides.
Yeah, they generally recommend a PLB rather than EPERB if you're land-based, plus a PLB is cheaper. If you already have an EPERB, by all means use that in an emergency situation, but if you're buying one specifically for 4x4'ing, buy a PLB.
@Overland Ready, in Australia a EPIRB and a PLB are the same thing, all rescues are coordinated by the Australian Maritme Rescue Authority, either at sea or on land. You register the device online and you can nominate the vehicle / vessel that you are using. You can even register to your vessel for one trip one week then your vehicle for your text trip using the same device. We can load an image of the vessel / vehicle as well so the AMSA know what they are looking for if the device is activated.
Thank you for the helpful tips. Keep,up the good work. 🙏🙏
great stuff Ronnie, love this content
Another great one Ronny and Torbs!
another awesome video, keep them coming mate.
Thank you Ronny and the rest of the guys. Firstly thank you for taking some responsibility with the chain saw and safety, and yes I got Torb's joke. What most people miss is that a chain saw is dangerous and you are a long long way from help. I am also now through in a pair of chain saw chaps for my legs as well as all the other gear. For first aid I would recommend doing a remote area first aid course. I came away feeling far more confident about my ability to do first aid. keep up the great content guys.
Good advice.. It even gets more interesting on a motorbike, remote and solo.. :)
Well done, as usual good content valid for most of us watching your videos outside Australia
Have a nice day, everyone.
The content this time you introduce is interesting and interesting,
well worth seeing
It is also prudent to carry a separate water container, at least 20 litres. Don't rely on the water tank in the trailer or vehicle that springs a leak en-route only to be discovered to be empty by the time you hit camp for the night. Carrying lots of beer can also be of assistance, but not ideal.... :D
Mr Dahl
Will you ever do a Victorian high country trip? I think it would be amazing to see. Some snow and a different world to WA
Cheers
I want to see that too.
thank you for the great detail video as great watching
Great content mates! Very nice rigs! The Outback fascinates me! Greeting from Texas, USA!
G'day, Ronny. Solid spot-on advice as always and a very well-put-together video. I think we can all appreciate the thought and time which has gone into it.
I was wondering if I could ask where you stumbled across the Series 2 Land Rover at 3:56. I would love to check it out. Keep up the great work, kind regards, Geoff
Good stuff! Applies here in the USA as well.
Great topic! 👍 "Oh no! What am i gonna do if i cant find that frick'n rattle? ...Shud'n'a bought a patrol!!" 😅😂 Most times just a wheel alignment, but the reality of this skit made me laugh. Yes please, more of these.
Nice video thanks 😎👍
Don't forget to leave a lolly on the posts for tail end Charlie as a reward for shutting the gate
great stuff yes more please
some good tips in this one !
A very informative video. I would like something on how to plan a multi day trip and map route.
Thanks for the nice episode
lol.. thanks Siri. 😂
if you are desperate for water and you have a small dodgy water hole and its sandy or gravel like the one in the video, dig down a metre or so away from the dodgy water and the water will be somewhat filtered
Great tips, some would say common sense, but that is not always common. Spectacular wildflowers look awesome as usual.
Keep this stuff coming
Great stuff. Would love the travel the coast line
Lots of solid advice, great production, as always. You mentioned the tyre pressure of 28PSI for the bush. What's good for the stock AT20 Prado tyres once on bitumen and freeway?
Guys that was great thank you!
One of the best video
"when a vehicle turns left"
Pointing to the right 🤣
Couple months ago on a dirt road I moved to the left as another car approached. They on the other hand made straight for me. It was wide enough you could have had 6 cars side by side. They forced me off the road.
Fingers crossed they watch this video!
Advice needed guys. A video would be great. I've organised 20-30 solo lady travellers on a convoy from Brisbane to Uluru and back. I can't find videos on how to actually use the CB to ensure everyone is safe and can stay in touch. It's different on the roads to the bush I'm guessing. How do you learn convoy rules?
Good video and conversation starter.
Love it guys! Would love to see more tips about touring and travelling remote country!
What spares do you bring?
How much water do you allocate per day per person?
Etc etc
qldcrusade; If you go back and search through Ronny's videos, he has quite a few up that will give you the info.
You can look up Andrew St Pierre White & his channel 4xoverland or Paul Marsh and his channel Paul Marsh 4x4
They are two of the knowledgeable people when it comes to Overlanding.
If your an Aussie, you might want to have a read some of the books by Major Leslie James Hiddins(The Bush Tucker Man)
Have fun and stay safe.
for water, the rule is: 3L per day, per person, per man, per degree over 25 degrees Celsius per kilometer if walking on foot, in the winter months, dividing by 2 .... plus another litre at the end.
@@thealterator its actually 2 litres per person, per man etc. You need a refresher on the great travel guru.
Good tips.if you have anymore it will be great
Fantastic as usual. Regarding the color temperature of light - 4500K is good, but not the best. The temperature of sunlight is ON AVERAGE 4500K but actually includes the whole range from about 7000K to 2000K. On a limitless budget, you would install 3 identical headlights at 6500K (blue), 4500K (white) and 2700K (amber). This most closely mimicks daytime sunlight.
Love to see the Pirtek hat
In other arid regions, you don’t knock down standing dead wood because it might not be dead. Some species are “drought deciduous” and drop foliage between rains. They may look dead, but don’t count on it.
extra fuel container is also good if you get a hole in the main tank lose your fuel plugg it up and then you have your extra
Amazing content. Thank you very much. But hey, how cold can the outback of WA get in the summer?
Damn dude, sitting on my couch watching this on my TV and your “hey Siri”’ at the start gets my phone saying “yes?” to me! I guess you can control my iPhone now if you want to….
Love the Content Ronny, what are the rules for camping on the ground in the outback? I've moved over from NZ and we don't have to worry about snakes or crocs, so is it safe to set up a swag and stay on the ground?
Great advice at 8:11 ☝️
You should explain why the gate rule, will make it easier to remember when you understand the why. For example closed to keep cattle etc in, open for mustering cattle through, you get the idea.
Torbs finding the 10mm reminded me of the day I was cleaning out my air filter and I found a screw driver in it.
Shopping trolley 😂
More info about maps (paper), which ones to get, where to get them and route planning would be cool.
you definitely should post songs used in movies. Some of them are awesome!
Hey mate, just curious for someone who only drives the vic high country... does the gate not indicate a private property? How do you know you are allowed to go through one?
Adventure and trail riding Motorcyclist call the system of marking corners "The corner man system" it works great.
please do make more videos like for newbies like who want to go the outback one day
Both paper and digital mapping are essential but each have failings. I live in the outback and roam up to 80km off track by compass bearing. I was using an app which had every dam, bore and waterhole manually programmed in for a 100km radius around my residence. Paper maps don't show that detail, but in my roamings I could always find water sources. Then comes the digital problem, I have been through three different handheld GPS units which have failed over fifteen years IN the field, and the app being Android based on my mobile is having it's data actively deleted. I have found the setting that was destroying my critical safety waypoints and other programs but it took some time. What was interesting was that the waypoints on my Huawei lasted 18 months longer before they too succumbed.
I am relating this as an example of how both paper and technology work, but neither is perfect. I need GPS to get down to the fine scale that maps can't provide, but it all comes unstuck when some "shiny pants nerd" sitting in an unknown office creates settings that destroy user data that may be critical for their survival.
By the way, I always carry Sat phone and have a spare 200 litre diesel tank, since much of my working area is low gear work in proximity to the Painted Desert and Anne Beadell
Rock Lobster, hahaha, love it
great video. Is that Samphire the same as european samphire ?
Good thing Mad Max is driving around out there somewhere.
With the last vehicle scenario, if they have a drone I guess they can use that as a spotter up forward while in transit.
That probably sounds a little silly but thinking outside the box is what I do from time to time which is never a bad thing.
Again another great video guys and Torbs, yes should of bought a Patrol 😂😂
Hi Ronny. What bag are you using for your maps in this Video? Cheers, love your work.
Don't worry. Found it! crashpadgear.com.au/collections/bags-storage/products/map-bag
You do not wait until YOU have seen the following vehicle.
You wait until you know THEY have seen you.
Little differences like that are how mistakes are made.
45yrs experience
Hi Ronny, excellent advice.
Can you give a look at your spare fuel setup? What you showed is a lot better than the jerries and jiggle hose I use currently
It’s in project Luxy full details in the rear spare tank of fuel
It's in the Project Luxy - ENGINE PROTECTION video. It's a ~100L stainless steel tank that's split in half, half is for water and half for fuel, with a 12v electric pump on both sides.
good Job
The Intersection rule I habe to question. In a convoy I do the swap. On Intersection with no turn all go straight ahead. On intersections with turn the first car stops and guides all following cars to the turn and becomes the last vehicle in the convoy. This way never ever is there one getting lost.
This was good content. I enjoyed the basic information and suggestions drawn from your experience.
Off-road I like it.
what dashmats are you using? and do you know a company that does ones with the steering wheel on the left? its so hard for us here in europe to get proper ones
After 20 years i ditched my chainsaw for a reciprocating saw 👍👍
I liked the video with a lot of information and thanks for sharing 😍😎👍
Saw you at the 4wd show
I reckon you guys have your GPS dispays etc up to high; surely you can drop them a bit for better visibility
we are quite tall at 6.1ft its no issue we can see over it
The gate rule is very similar to the one back home (UK) when walking. Shut the gate if shut before, leave open if open. However sometimes the gate my have been left open by someone before that clearly should have shut it. So use a bit of common sense and observation to.
Since moving here I carry a snake bite kit, because I'd rather have it and never need it (touch wood) than need it and don't have it.
@16:03 Hello Torbes, Many here in USA say Amber / Yellow lights are the best for visibility especially in dusty conditions or bad weather. Can you please advice if that is wrong and 4500-5000K is best? Thank you sir..
Tail end Charlie 😂😂😂
