This is a very different camp setup from that earlier video of you relating to waking up to a wild dog in your face, funny but scared, keep doing the vids, you stories are always interesting.
Looks like a great set up. Wish I had a stronger bladder, up and down those steps, in the dark and maybe the wet might do me in and if body doesnt lie level, well Im sore the next day, but cheers to you
Great information video, I have the Darche RTT and would never go back to a tent or swag. I nearly bought the Zero as nearly identical. I always have the perfect sleep. I honestly can’t think of a negative. Setup/pack up in less than 2mins. 🤟🤟🇦🇺🇦🇺
Rule number 1 for project management. Don’t believe the saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”, just means that you’re not looking hard enough. I went to the Simpson desert near 2 years ago and t[he drop in temperature at night caught me by surprise. I knew it was going to be cold but learnt my lesson. Heading out with eldest son and will be taking 2 of this kickass blankets. Makes life a little easier. By the way…. How good are those sauces and mustards that you put us onto….. Mike
You’re in a beautiful area, my neck of the woods. I grew up there. Mate, I’m 60 years old , do a lot of snow camping and still using a swag. Dude you’re gonna lose me, you’re friggin soft! 😂 My biggest hate 12 V electric blankets , induction cooktops, espresso machines, ect, get out in the wild and enjoy. keeping it simple is true camping. Having said this lovely program, mate❤
I am always surprised when people say about handbrakes on 70 series. Honestly, mine since day one has always been fine. To the point I was confident to use the handbrake on the odd slope when stopping. The key is to ensure the handbrake is correctly adjusted every 5000K or when the travel on the handbrake is getting excessive. Mine was a 2020 76 series but I doubt there was any mods done to improve the same. The issue is the use of cable on a disk break assembly. Reach the bastard on hard and adjust the cable stretch every 5000K. Just my experience. But I have seen handbrake issues on many 70 series due to lack of maintaining the adjustment.
@@Haveacrack76nah. Sold it about a week ago. Health and life style reasons. New DMax on the way. Time to retire from prospecting and travel to fish and enjoy the WA coast and life 😊
Honestly, I'm with you they need to stop. Because if we don't, they will close it down. We can already see and hear places shutting some short-term and other, maybe for good.
@Haveacrack76 I'm in Queensland, and like you said, I can't believe you can not find tracks that have difficulty levels you'd like to do. I'm in a great area where you can do a day trip from bush to beach or vice versa depending on tide.
Sorry mate not a go at you, but what has it come to that we are spend $4,000 on something, and what, are we not to expect the most basics of functionality like a comfortable mattress? My home 12 inch thick mattress with springs, foam, and latex was only $400. Swags worth $350 can make them comfortable. Can't even throw in a jintzy led light? What a load of rubbish!! Genereic Chinese stuff (that's why it looks so much like a Darche, they are made in the same place). Camping brands are absolute crap. Originall ones before the scammers came in like oztent and james baroud still offer quality but everything else that has popped up in last 8 years and all over youtube...
Cant remember if this is the video I compared it to a Harley seat. For some people it will be fine, for others not so. I tend to agree with you about the lack of Led light. Chinese manufacturing has come a long way in recent years. Not saying perfect, far from it. But its definitely better.
Another Great Episode. Your camping set-up is getting better all the time. I'm 72 and vote for the 12-volt electric blanket. Game changer.
Thanks mate, I appreciate it.
like a graceful gazelle jumping up in there
You know it!

HAHA thanks mate

Im certainly a convert. Never thought I would, but now wouldnt go without.

Too true mate. And those sauces, awesome

HAHAHA. Bloody legend. Cant say Ive ever hated 12v electric blankets, I actually didnt know they existed until a couple months ago.
@@Haveacrack76 keep doing what you’re doing , you’re on a winner,
Your mannerism is similar to fire to fork guy, 🤔
@@lucamancini3147 Thanks mate

Interesting mate. Every 5k. Worth a look. Do you not have the 76 anymore?

@@TheOldFellasTravels Fair game mate. Dmax sounds good
It's every version of LC. Prados in particular seem to have it as a design feature.

There are so many other tracks up there to do that on. I just dont get it.

You are not getting soft but old, like the rest of us.
