Remember when that old 45 came out to Israelite. Boys from Kalgoorlie brought it down. Shack belongs to an old mate Peter Spur. Spent alot of time out there years ago. Even the old case tractor out the back belonged to my dad. Planning a trip from Vic back over there to show my kids where there dad grew up.
Would be interesting to see a start to finish planning video of one of your trips mate. How much fuel,water etc for one of these type trips and any online/offline resources you use to get prepared. It's one of the biggest things for me and family not doing more trips like this. Appreciate the content as always!
Hey Cam, I love watching your channel as I sit here and dream of all the places I won't get to. Great to see you are living your best life. Enjoy the journey and take care x
Another quality adventure video Cam, well done to you and the guys! The fuel consumption differential was surprisingly low. Also can’t beat a quality homemade pizza 🎉
Got bogged in a salt pan at Israelite Bay in 96 or so, when I was working at Fraser Range on the Eyre Highway. We spent all day trying to dig it out, then decided to abandon and head down to the beach in the other vehicle. We found a couple of campers, who had about 1000m of long line main line they'd found. So we hooked up all 3 vehicles to the bogged unit and pulled her out! Great save folks, it would have cost me a few thousand to take a machine down there to drag it out.
@@WildTouring It was them and us, not another soul around. We were about 4 hours drive south of where we were working at Fraser Range. Very lucky. Beautiful place though.
Love your episodes my guy. I recently put a big part of my savings towards buying a new van and renovating it; I know most of these tracks are 4wding but nonetheless you have inspired me to live an adventurous life. I'll have to use the dirt bike for some of these areas. Thanks mate!
Hi Cam (and Tiff…..I’m sure she’s is the driving force behind you) Great little trip series. 👍 You guys are killing it on YT - I’m sure it’s only a couple months back that you passed 50k subscribers and now YT is showing you are currently at 133k. Wow ! Cheers
Great trip Cam. I have driven past the Baxter cliff twice and have never thought to explore that area. Really interesting fuel stats between vehicles. Also, big thank you Tiff and Cam for the Oricom UHF. It is awesome. I have thrown my old Uniden out 😂.
Fantastic trip, love the facts n figures at the end, the pizza maker is a bit lush. Sharing meals is the best way to travel n be economical with space n food. Keep up the awesome work
Shish Cam, you boys are either Whipped, or very in touch with your feelings. Going home a day earlier. 😂😂😂 Last night is a off camera big night 😉😉🤣🤣🤣. Great trip, Cheers Mark...
Nice little trip ...thanks for the effort in letting all of us follow along. I just looked up a your subscribers now and noticed its jumped a hell of a lot since i last recalled. Well Done.
Pleased to see that I'm not the only one who's anxl about packing set up and trip prep. Another great episode. I've only been out as far as Point Malcolm so am really enjoying this series. Appreciate the stats and info portion - I'm into that stuff. Fisheries Road was still closed last I heard.
Cheers mate 👍🏼 It’s all open at the moment, there is an alert for lane closures/road works on the shire of Esperance website for widening, but the road is open. And we didn’t come across any road works as we passed through - so I think they’re a little slow to remove the alerts 🤷♂️
Great trip guys, Loved the old telegraph station and the buildings. That history is just amazing imo. Thanks for the video, really enjoyed that series.
Cam, can I suggest you have a look at the power tail gate conversion. It’s great and adds another 50mm height when opened up. Not too hard to install in your drive way. Great place and great ep
Cheers mate! Yeah have seen the kit, there’s a sweet spot between clearing my head on the tailgate, but then also clearing the awning when it’s open without mounting the awning crazy high on its brackets. I’m just sneaking in between those two limitations so I wouldn’t want it any higher!
On the charger topic at the start. I think you have the victron dcdc from memory. Best to swap it for a better one. Speaking from experience unfortunately 😢
Couldn’t disagree more with you on that one! I pay full retail for their gear and have absolutely nothing to do with them, but I’ve always found their gear to perform really well. And I think their price point and specs make them probably the best bang for buck! Definitely interested to hear what issues you’ve had though?
@@WildTouring don’t get me wrong I love victron and 90% of my system is victron and love it. But as for their Orion charger, it gets way too hot and derates. I’ve seen the blue cover reach 64 degrees on mine after 30 mins of driving. Have you checked what your charger is putting out after 30/60 mins of driving? Mine starts at 30a and works its way back to 22a over an hour. It’s a pretty well published issue online, people even make fan kits for them to cool down. I had two of them, but swapped one out for Redarc and still smell the Orion charger every time it get hot. I’m hanging out for their updated 50a Orion charger that’s not quite released yet. Initial testing shows it only gets to 40 degrees so that’a a step in the right direction
Done this trip in January, Filling up at condingup,to twilight cove out to eyre highway( cocklebiddy) I used 110l diesel in a 79 series, 4days in total, track was closed from rain but made it so much more fun
It’s a 1200w appliance, so it draws 100a at 12v. A 15 minute cook (10 minute preheat, 5 minute cook) would draw approximately 25ah. Subsequent pizzas (5 minutes each) would be roughly an additional 9ah each.
Cheers mate, still have it. Kulkyne sent me there new one the Mega swag that I’m using in this vid. Both great swags, but I reckon I’ll continue to use this new mega swag for the extra room- can sit upright in it, and it has a shelf for your clothes! Fits on the same stretcher too 👍🏼
I am very keen to know how much battery (and inverter) power was needed for the pizza machine please. I get nervous using my pizza machine at home on mains, let alone on battery 😮
This pizza oven is 1200w, (100a at 12v). Takes 10mins to preheat and 5 mins to cook the first pizza- which is around 25ah. Second, third, fourth pizzas if you were banging them in one after the other for 5 mins each, would be about another 10ah for each one. That’s a super rough estimate 👍🏼
Great content as usual. Is your navigation unit Garman? is it reliable? Does it use Hema maps?. We have had 2 Hemas and have had trouble with them both ..never again. Safe travels
Yeah I’ve recently been using the Garmin Overlander. First one was faulty and was replaced, the replacement unit has been brilliant and I can definitely recommend it. Yes uses Hema maps. I’ve also had a few bad experiences with Hema devices and wouldn’t buy another one. Great mapping, but their hardware has always let me down.
Have you got a Starlink for these trips? Worth thinking about for anyone going to these remote locations where telephone communication is limited or non existent.
Yeah that one’s a little ripper! www.kitchenwarehouse.com.au/product/masterpro-ultimate-pizza-oven-red?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrsfoiPnRhAMVQIG5BR1OCQrnEAQYASABEgI3l_D_BwE
The swags awesome. Nah it’s a Kulkyne Mega 1100 on their 1100 big boy stretcher. Watch this from 10.25 th-cam.com/video/C-2Fnb0t1Qk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bPRQfakJ5qcYpI0D
Loving this trip - 1 questions - we are looking at a swag with space, what brand is your swag and your thoughts on it? The pizza oven looks amazing, sorry if I missed it but where did you get it from and what's the power consumption of it? TIA 🎉
The swag is the Kulkyne Mega 1100, on a kulkyne 1100 big boy stretcher, and it’s awesome! I can sit upright in it, has a pop up storage shelf in it for your clothes, rolls up with my bedding in it and easily fits into the bag. Sleep so well in it. My discount code ‘wild’ knocks 5% off all that gear 👍🏼 www.kulkyne.com.au
And this is the pizza oven from kitchen warehouse, $120 and draws 1200w. 10min preheat and 5 mins to cook, so on a 12v system the first pizza is probably 25ah and every other pizza after is another 10ah or so off your battery capacity. www.kitchenwarehouse.com.au/product/masterpro-ultimate-pizza-oven-red?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrsfoiPnRhAMVQIG5BR1OCQrnEAQYASABEgI3l_D_BwE
Best quote “My turn to cook tonight. I’ve got a little treat for the boys……. Hopefully it’s not food poisoning”.. with a smile on the face 😂
🤣 they were so nervous about it too hahaha

That’s actually on my list of videos to film! I reckon I might do that for the Simpson desert trip, because there’s a fair bit to plan for that!
I worked on a farm station in coober pedy. And the telegraph track go all the way though the station.
Would love to drive the whole thing! I imagine a lot of it’s grown over nowadays!!
Hey Cam, I love watching your channel as I sit here and dream of all the places I won't get to. Great to see you are living your best life. Enjoy the journey and take care x

Lucky you found a couple of other out there, image it can be pretty quiet at times, especially back then!

Cam re weather changing - I carry a Zoleo satelite communicator which can get updated local weather information as well as being able to text family.
Was a pizza chef for a number of years and was taught cheese first,am now retired and its cheese on top. Either way as long as it tastes good. 😊
I’ve ALWAYS been cheese on top, but I reckon I’ll take this pizza oven on another trip and do a taste test with both methods!!
Love your episodes my guy. I recently put a big part of my savings towards buying a new van and renovating it; I know most of these tracks are 4wding but nonetheless you have inspired me to live an adventurous life. I'll have to use the dirt bike for some of these areas. Thanks mate!
Sounds like you’ve got the best of both worlds covered! Cheers mate 👍🏼

Cheers mate! Have really enjoyed sharing meals, takes the pressure off and it’s nice to try different dishes!
Loving the trip Cam, want to get down there myself soon. Maybe a bit of ali carpet edging could work to secure the rubber flooring?
Yeah not a bad idea!
Great video mate! Looking forward to the next one
Cheers mate 👍🏼

thanks for sharing, that route is definitely on my bucket list
No probs! It’s a great trip!
That would be Twilight Cove Cam
Absolutely beautiful spot with 80 foot cliffs as a backdrop 👍
Can’t wait to get there! Funny how every trip you finish you end up with another couple on the list 🤣
Nice one Cam,enjoyed it immensely. Cheers looking forward to your next video
Thank you mate! 🙏
Great little trip and info in regards trip break down on cost . Thank you
No worries, cheers mate 👍🏼

Here's a tip for your rubber mat mate. No more nails. ;)
I was a bit hesitant with the poly tank but ended up going one in my 200. Has been awesome, see if you can wait for it if its only 6mths away.
Yeah I really rated mine too, not sure I can wait that long though. Few trips coming up that really need the range!
the baxter cliffs track is rough and twisty, takes roughly two to three days to do, worth it.
Definitely on the list now!
Great video mate 👍
Ripper episode mate those pizzas look on song mate 👌
Cheers mate! They were bloody good! 🍻
Cam, what swag are you using. Its looks great..
Excellent video. What tires were you running?
Cheers mate! Yokohama GO16s. Only put the 10k on them so far, but they’re performing well 👍🏼
On the charger topic at the start. I think you have the victron dcdc from memory. Best to swap it for a better one. Speaking from experience unfortunately 😢

This trip is on my bucket list. How many days did you take total?
End of the video I discussed days, kms, economy, fuel, water etc..
Done this trip in January, Filling up at condingup,to twilight cove out to eyre highway( cocklebiddy) I used 110l diesel in a 79 series, 4days in total, track was closed from rain but made it so much more fun
Hi mate. Great Video. Interested in the pizza cooker. How many amps does it use to cook a pizza in 5 minutes??
It’s a 1200w appliance, so it draws 100a at 12v. A 15 minute cook (10 minute preheat, 5 minute cook) would draw approximately 25ah. Subsequent pizzas (5 minutes each) would be roughly an additional 9ah each.
Hey Cam. What mileage are you getting in your cruiser on these trips without the van vs with a van?
Hey Cam, what happened to the Kulkyne swag? Love the episodes mate 🙂
Cheers mate, still have it. Kulkyne sent me there new one the Mega swag that I’m using in this vid. Both great swags, but I reckon I’ll continue to use this new mega swag for the extra room- can sit upright in it, and it has a shelf for your clothes! Fits on the same stretcher too 👍🏼
Cant you spray or paint on a rubberised coating on that storage shelf ?
I am very keen to know how much battery (and inverter) power was needed for the pizza machine please.

This pizza oven is 1200w, (100a at 12v).

Ya swag looks like a TENT? :-)
Definitely blurs the lines! 🤣 so comfortable though
Have you got a Starlink for these trips? Worth thinking about for anyone going to these remote locations where telephone communication is limited or non existent.
I do take starlink on longer ones, didn’t bother for this one 👍🏼
😂 wouldn't be wild touring with out a bit of tech when cooking or drinking 😂.
🤣 can’t help myself !
Is your pizza maker good ?
Yeah that one’s a little ripper!

The swags awesome. Nah it’s a Kulkyne Mega 1100 on their 1100 big boy stretcher.
Watch this from 10.25

Did it come with a bag?
drove that weed, then i noted a track that was hidden just off the beach we managed to get on that .

If u put prawns in bag into water bath they defrost in about 20…water gets cold so swap over…
The cheese goes on the bottom after the sauce. Definitely not on the top! If you put it on the top the other ingredients don't cook properly
Haha we’re going to cook some pizzas this weekend and put that to the test.
@@WildTouring awesome! Makes a big difference and hope you it. Btw the episode was great!!

🤣 true!
WTF was that pommy bloke talking about in the telegraph station?
