    As an anaesthetic nurse I have seen so many suicides from so many young people and some older, especially in the last two years. Some of the relatives have donated organs of their loved ones in the most difficult and challenging times. I am grateful that you speak about mental health. Please take care, both of yourself and of Occy.

Though I am not financially capable of assisting I am definitely here to be one of your biggest supporters along the way. I have been a follower since day one and look forward to your continued journey and seeing all the amazing things that you get to show somebody like me that lives in the United States that will never make it there.

    Max- found the discourse on the cellphone technology/Internet access very helpful....and I'm in the States. Nearing retirement myself- I learned years ago RV'ing that you CAN'T even depend upon service in a paid campground....and the Internet to me isn't an option, it's a critical need. Just like water, shelter, food.....gotta have it. With the advances in technology, the ability to camp anywhere- and yet still be "connected", is priceless to me. THAT's what it's all about: the best of both worlds.

    Tire patch kit.

    For emergency communications in the outback, the only real option is HF (high frequency/shortwave) Amateur radio.

They are the only tyres that I will use on my van which is fully fitted out as a motorhome. We have done nice big trips in the Iveco with these tyres fitted and they are the absolute best.

    I have a set of Mickey Thompson ATZ's on my rig, with duelly's. I had to put a 1 inch spacer between them so they didnt rub. This works wonderfu;;y. I have over 30,000 km on them so far. The size is 33-12.50 16" Best tires I have used in 45 years of driving. They have a almost Mud terrain pattern that works great. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.

    Occy looks so much happier out if the rain. He was like a puppy with his toy. He might like a small dog pool for your adventure. Assuming water is available, they are great for cooling dogs down. They also fold up nice and small.

    I really recommend a full size shovel (or 2) to dig out. I got stuck in mud and only had that foldable shovel. It was very slow going to dig. If we’d had a full size shovel or two I reckon we could’ve dig ourselves out enough to get the trax under but in the end we couldn’t dig out enough so we had to find someone with a 4wd drive and winch to pull us out. Maybe if we’d had a smaller van it could have worked, but the heavy high roof sprinter was too much in the mud. Highly recommend a winch for remote areas too.

    A shorter clip for Occy in the dessert will make you both more comfortable. We are so happy that you are making this trip happen... lots of planning. Bottle jacks are small enough to fit in the van and are useful for getting unstuck in the desert sand using rocks or boards beneath.

    Uluru!!! I’m so excited to see your journeys out and around in this chapter of van life. I’ve had some Australian aboriginal literature that I’ve really enjoyed and also culture/history I’ve loved learning about. And with you being aware of the hardship the aboriginal Australians face makes this even more exciting to watch.

      @@MaxandOccy just saw this now! I can’t remember the grouping of short stories I read a few years ago. There was also an amazing documentary about Dreaming that is only accessible through educational institutions :( but since you’ve got me looking into all of my aboriginal literature I’ve decided to read Carpentaria by Alexis Wright and That Deadman Dance by Kim Scott. They’re more fiction based in real life rather than non-fiction/memoir type books but they’re both written by reliable authors.
