    Bloody Hippie-Camp ! What The ! Hahahaha sorry mate a 70’s joke lol First time I’d seen an Ultimate Camper in the wild 😜 was in the Vic-High Country on Billy’s Goats track we’d just got to the helipad from bottom/start got out for a look and a chat as she was rough and rocky/gravely slippery that year very early 2000’s-ish and as we got out of cars we could hear this god almighty banging , clashing and real hollow pounding 😮😮 waited for about 15 mins and a New Toyota Landcruiser emerged and was towing one Brand-spanken New Ultimate up the track with 4 push bikes strapped to the roof hahahaha the guy slowed up at the Helipad looked left seen the rest of where the track went UP and gunned it again and off it went. Funniest thing we’d seen all day But great effort for the trailer going that speed up that hill . And after seeing where you take yours and how you respect it yours is going to last you for years & years 👍 Good spotting of the platypi mate 🤪 Top effort you Two thanks again for all ya hard work at Relaxing 😎

    Despite many Hipcamp bookings, i have only managed to be on two properties that didn’t have other campers, yet i pay over 5 times as much as the public campgrounds and often don’t have the ammenities and facilities like the public ones. I won’t ever use them again, it’s becoming like personal caravan parks without the benefits… at the start several years ago it was awesome, now not so much unfortunately…

    • @shaddonaghue
      @shaddonaghue  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Another great Vid Chad. I’m curious about the new OzBarrier panels. We have the 4 panel ones and they’re actually too heavy for us to take away. How much do the 3 panels weigh and were you happy with them?

    • @shaddonaghue
      @shaddonaghue  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi mate, the 3 panel is 8.5 kg (3mm thick ) and the 4 panel is 15kg (4mm thick ) so a far bit of difference. I have only used the 3 panel a couple of times now, i think i like the 4panel more but if weight is the deciding factor have to go 3 panel, so much lighter.

    Beautiful spot. How do you find those little folding chairs? I just picked one up from Anaconda although it is a low back and am worried they won't be very strong. They claim 120kg but I'm very doubtful. Those wraps sound pretty nice too. Wicked seeing the Platypus too, I've never seen one in the wild.

    • @shaddonaghue
      @shaddonaghue  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love my helinox chair , was a bit expensive but ive had it over 4 years and i camp a bit too 😂. Not sure about the anaconda ones though, I’m sure they’ll be ok. The wraps were really nice hey and awesome too see platypus even though ive seen a few its still amazing every time you see one .

    • @OnCountryWithMick
      @OnCountryWithMick ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @shaddonaghue cheers mate. The Anaconda one was about $60 so not too expensive. I mostly wanted something small and light weight to throw in the car for when I park up somewhere for a cuppa or just to relax for a bit. I will take my bigger ones for camping trips
