Just found your channel, you make very enjoyable videos, very nice to watch/listen, great editing/background music. Also like that you provide info on where you are, track etc, and nice 'chill' 4WD'ng to enjoy time in Nature. Thumbs up for the Moka coffee pot, they are great for camp trips. Thankyou for making & sharing your trips 🙂👍PS; the LDV T60 looks awesome vehicle as standard for getting away remote camping.
Love this.. so cool
Great video dude
Thanks for the support.
Nice work have liked and subscribed 👍
Thanks for the support!
I love that forest!, going up there very soon, nice vid hope to see more of them.
Me too! Beautiful spot.
I wish you’re near and can just teach me about bow hunting. I would love to get in the hobby but I got too much hobby outside youtube my bank account couldn't take another hobby 😆. It was great seeing you again. Love this content👊
@@maxdexpeditions if you want to give it a try, look into a local archery club. Our club has club bows that people can try to see if they enjoy it before draining their bank accounts on another hobby 😉😂
Why do you wear the orange hat. Doesn't it make you visible to the deer?
@@jackgraham5037 it makes me visible to other hunters. I’m hunting State Forest which is public land with rifle and bow hunters, so hopefully they see me. Deer are less sensitive to red and orange and more sensitive to blues and greens, so technically they won’t spot the orange beanie.
Beautiful forest that one Del. Good to see you back out camping and hunting again.
@@michaelmyers2896 it was great to get out again! This is a quieter spot compared to the Vic High Country and very beautiful.
Was Rhonda still underwater?
Yes it was. We drove to the end looking for a decent camping spot and had to reverse back again. You can see it on this video at the 8:11 mark - czcams.com/video/HWMI1OIZYko/video.htmlsi=vKufLLq-90wOP1zM&t=491
Man such a cool experience especially diving in the Great Barrier Reef
Yes, I love going up there. Now that my son has qualified, I wouldn't mind making an annual trip to dive the reef - it's over 1,400 miles long!
@@KOTW.Adventures 1400!! That’s crazy! Hopefully one day I’ll see it in person
Brilliant footage Del. Great work.
The footage doesn’t do it justice. The outer reef is magnificent!
Beautifully done Love your work
Thanks mate. I just need to get out more often!
@@KOTW.Adventures yeah agreed 👍 Im in good country here in vic But nothing beats the high country
Great day out with no crowds.👌
Yeah, we only got our fishing charter confirmed the day before because the minimum number for a trip is 3 and it was only me and my son booked! And it was the Monday before Easter!
Great camp spot, I`ll have to put Tallarook on the list.👌
It can get busy though because it’s a popular 4x4 area.
So good! I picked up the x4.. these 360 cameras are a lot of fun. And it seems impossible to miss ‘the shot’ with them
So much fun! I took mine scuba diving too - haven't had time to put the video together yet. 😬
we should go again! 😄
I’m not going to get there this weekend unfortunately 😩
Nice video. Looks like a good day out.
It was great to spend some time fishing with my son. Pity I couldn't catch a barra thought!
@@KOTW.Adventures better than not going though. Always great to spend some time with the kids that’s for sure.
Beautiful catch! Is that the new insta 360? I still have to do my research but im tempted to get one.
It's the X3 - the new X4 just came out with much better picture quality (8K instead of 5.7K for the full 360). Really fun to use and reframe.
Nice to see your content again, been a while! Hope all is well. Cool looking place for a dive!
Thanks. When are you going to post some new vids from your new home?? Waiting in anticipation as I love your video style.
@@KOTW.Adventures I got lazy tbh slowly working on content like a sloth lol
@@maxdexpeditions It gets like that sometimes! I have all these plans in my head for content, but it never converts into episodes. 🤣😂
thru the cap, what a concept!
No leaks, no messy taps.
Lockdowns what a joke
Thanks for reminding me how s#!t life was four years ago! 🙃
Great video Del, I was nearly about to hit the button on the Zoleo but after seeing this I'll most likely do the Bivy stick. I've already got the ACR ResQLink 400 PLB and have a lot of faith in the ACR gear. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! Just make sure to check the subscription figures before you pull the trigger as the charges may have changed since I made the video.
@@KOTW.Adventures Charges have changed a little but it's still the cheaper of the 3!
Check the roof of the 4 wheel drive can take the weight of you both Looks great
Yes, definitely! Most RTT weights are above standard roof capacity.
What’s the typical run time of the 5 gal from full to empty ? I don’t know what the gpm or liters per min is for your specific style is. Thank you
to be 100% honest, I have never emptied the jerry can completely via the pump so not sure. I think that the flow rate on the pump is 4 litres per minute on full flow
Mate bush company 100% camp King,s rtt is shit
Epic bro! I love all the sounds where you guys are at, the birds sounds brought on memories. Enjoyed this one 👌🏻
Thanks man. I really enjoyed making this one too.
Is it better or the classic ?
Better
Hey mate, thats awesome thanks for sharing! What are those anchors you are using for the front anchir point. Cheers
Thanks for watching. I used turn buckles with hooks on both ends. That way you can tighten up or loosen as required with not too much hassle.
Brilliant! What type of bolts do you use under the ply that pop up and you screw the nuts on for the fridge slide? Thank you
@@damo137 The bolts came with the kitchen slide. They are M10 55mm stainless steel bolts and nuts.
Hi, is it just for messaging or can you make calls as well when its connected to your phone? Cheers
It’s for messaging and tracking only. No calls. Only text or emergency messages for help.
I'm in the process of building one myself. Does the water jug need an extra vent hole to prevent negative pressure in the container, or does it work without a vent hole? THX!
My jerry can already has a breather included. I also noted that the air can still enter through the gap between the cap and the hose, so you may not require a vent hole. Thanks for watching!
I had never tried bow hunting before. That was a good size your buddy got. Beautiful catch looks like a good day with 4 deers!
It was a good weekend - just being out there is fun. The deer meat is a bonus!
Nice review, great camera no doubt! Take care & have fun!
Thanks! Great little camera but I need to learn the ins and outs in more detail 👍
Very, very nice..congrats!!!
Thank you very much!
Great review, I'll have to look into it!
It's a great camera and waterproof to 30ft too!
Nice video. Looks like a good bit of kit.
Really fun camera to mess around with and the colour results are amazing in good light. I love experimenting with it - wish I could mount it to my drone 😉
@@KOTW.Adventures fair enough. May be a bit heavy for the mini 2 though. 😂😂
@@michaelmyers2896 Defintely! 😑
Good detailed review. I think they're almost the same as all the major 360 cameras in the market. Same with GoPro- the lens stick out one scratch, and your 360 is messed up, and it's also 1080 for regular videos. The App AI effects are top-notch!
Some of the AI effects are simple but with amazing results if you know how to film the required segments. Very clever stuff!
Been thinking about getting one of these. Would be curious to see how it goes as a normal vlogging style camera. Most images I have seen seem a little distorted.
It depends how you reframe in the software. You can choose flat all the way up to fish-eye or even tiny planet style video. You can also film single lens 4K if you prefer for example on a chest mount. I love it but still have plenty to learn!
please tell me you put more than one bolt in each mounting bracket on the rack and awning??
OK, I put more than 1 bolt in each mounting bracket on the rack and awning. 😉
I have Installed this system in my Pajaro and it works great. However, if I have the override switched to off, which is what is recommended, then my console fridge does not stay on if the car is not on. I had thought that the fridge would stay on and charge off the auxiliary battery. But this is not what happens. What have I got wrong?
This is a fridge issue, not the VSR. While the car is running, your battery will be charging so the voltage will sit above 14V. When you turn the engine off, the voltage in the aux battery will drop down to a 'normal' level around 12V. Your fridge probably has a safety cut-off which is turning itself off at what it thinks is a low voltage. This is to prevent the fridge from completely draining the battery. There should be a way to reduce this point where the fridges turns itself off. If you can lower this cut-off voltage level, your fridge should stay on. Good luck and thanks for watching!
If you buy a bivy from Amazon, how do you set up the monthly plan? Can you communicate to another bivy stick say for instance if there is an internet black out. Many thanks for the video.
Once you set up an account on your new Bivy device and link it to the app on your phone, you can purchase the plan via the Bivy App on your phone. I guess you could technically communicate with another Bivy if you have the mobile number that is attached to that Bivy device as messages just work like text messages. You select the number via your phone contacts.
bivystick.com/en-au/plans/
Thank you so much for your reply!@@KOTW.Adventures
Great break down. Thanks
No problem. 😉
When sending text messages to someone , do they have to have the Bivy Stick app or are you sending directly to their cellphone via their phone number?
Hi David. It goes direct to their cellphone - no app required. 👌🏻 Thanks for watching.
Nice vid, get a power bank on it and run it from just after sunset to just after sunrise and you'll get a 20-30 second video depending on your exposure settings.
Thanks for the tips. I'm heading off on vacation in a couple of weeks so will pack a couple of power banks and see how I go!
@@KOTW.Adventures 10,000 is all you need for overnight. Have fun!
Great opening! You’re using the 360 framing very well you gave me an idea that hopefully I can remember next time we camp. That’s a beautiful spot! Great catch!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching - I'll keep an eye for "our" idea 😉
That drone footage over the pond is awesome Del.
Thanks mate. Hard to mess it up when you have so much beauty to work with. 😉
@@KOTW.Adventures fair call.
Nice video Del. Must be nice to get away by yourself sometimes. Good to just sit and enjoy the surroundings. Cracking spot. The river would be good to swim in at summer time.
I love the solo trips. Helps me unwind from work. Thanks for your support on the channel. 👍🏻
@@KOTW.Adventures you’re welcome. Your wife must be very understanding.
She works in hospitality so I escape when she is working on a weekend shift 😉
