    If you are driving past Alice Springs /tennant creek, my partner and I run a watermelon farm. Long time followers of your videos, you have taught us so much! We'd love to have you on the farm and pack up your car with as many watermelons as you can carry ;)

    The sand is softer in the Simpson and there's far less trees, plus the sand on Googs is way easier when it's wet. I was on Googs this time last year, thanks for the memories. 👍

    Good on ya Dan , What a Jeep thing :)
    Slightly envious and itching to get on the road, I’m about 3-4 months behind ya with my gladiator build. Been a long process. I’m in Cairns in FNQ.
    Been loving the channel dude, learnt heaps man, and have avoided some very expensive mistakes. I’m doing things bit differently as my needs are different , I live in the far north so wet season monsoons, flooded camps, crocodiles and Coastal Taipan require I am off the ground, I’ve gone AluCab Canopy Camper , but was actually inspired by your Ursa Minor Set Up 👍
    I love and value your thought process , given the miles and experience you have under your belt I’d be foolish not too ;)
    Love to know more about the petrol stove …
    Love to know more about the long range fuel tank (cus that’s where I’m at next) range brother :)
    Catch ya on the trail when ya up this way mate :)

    I properly know the answer to this question, would you think a camper trailer is doable on Goog"s Track or a bad idea?

    Does sounding the horn near the crest of a dune make any sense? It's something you do in many places for curves around cliffs.

      The important part to focus on isn't how much you make, it's how much you (don't) spend. By living frugally I can drive around the world for the same monthly cost as living in a city going to work everyday - details in this one: th-cam.com/video/XeR3SncZkv0/w-d-xo.html

    363 sand dunes? Nonsense! You are driving a sandy track with light slopes up and down. If you want to drive and surf the sand dunes, come visit the Sahara, for instance and learn.
    Enjoy your trip
