Cheers mate!
This is going to be your best series cam im excited dude. Who the f&@k would give this a thumbs down? Unbelievable!
WA Camping Adventures I seen that too - obviously someone didn’t want him to send the drone up in the wind 🤣🤣
DAD 4x4 Adventures 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha yeah maybe someone doesn't like me abusing the drone!
@@WildTouring jeleous people mate is why u got the thumbs down. Can't handle seeing someone living the dream. Great work, new sub here from Ballina NSW. Cheers.
Made the stand and stuff bacon and cheesy omelette for lunch today, what an awesome idea
Haha awesome mate!
Great stuff Cam, keep it up mate. All your content is a winner and its good how comfortable you are getting in front of the camera. Love seeing average folks with honest thoughts and opinions. Cheers mate.
Thanks for the kind words Colin!
Well done mate. Edits just keep getting better! Lot of hard work paying off. Waiting for the next one!
Cheers Tys! Appreciate it bro. Next one will be up sat morning.

Hiya Cam ,
Bloody awesome set up and wonderful fly by with the drone Mate keep em on coming :-)
Really enjoyed that, looking forward to the next episode. Thanks for putting it out on a Saturday and not a Sunday like everybody else.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! Next episode should be up same time next Sat. Cam.
Mad video, Well Done! It is always fantastic to see new people having a crack and making content. This trip looks fantastic and I am rusted on to see how it all goes. Happy Trails.
Cheers Mick! It was a great trip. Next part will be out next Saturday morning!
Absolute ripper mate, even the rest of the family sat around watching it!!
Can not wait for the next video!
Cheers Brad! Hoping to get the next couple of episodes out same time every Saturday! Looking forward to our trip away mate!!!!!!
Top work Cam! I'm jealous of your 12v set up, and being able to get away on your own. There is much for me to learn here! Keep em coming bloke!
Bloody awesome video mate, thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm heading out that way at Christmas time. Can't wait to check out a few tracks.
Enjoyed that!
Cheers bro!
Keep up the good work. 👍well done all round especially on such a long solo adventure with no one else to assist.
Cheers Damian! 👍
Enjoyed that, cheers Cam
Cheers Don!
Agree..... fire pit is the way to go, nothing worse than ash from old fires.
I have done a lot of those places and I enjoyed my trip so I will taga along with this one and see what you get up to.. Taking notes, like your setup.. Apreciate your respect for nature and to preserve the bush as it is.. I subscribed and rang that bell.. well done..
Mate just found you...don't know how!🤣
Just wanted to say your videos are A GRADE! I've only watched 2 , the chainsaw one and this one. I'll be watching the rest for sure!
Great Work Bud!👍👌🍻
Great vid mate!
Well done mate really good to watch, good luck with the sponsorship !!
Cheers brother. If my beer gut had fingers, they'd be crossed!
Loving your 1st Ep. of your Red Center series! I can’t get enough of Aussies exploring! Phenomenal country!
Thanks mate! Its an amazing country, get over and check it out if you ever get the chance. Which part of the US are you in?
Ive just started an instagram account, but I'm still figuring it out! @wildtouring
Wild Touring, we’re in Portland, Oregon. Some of the best beers on the planet! I love the desert though, so I love to go out to the SE part of the state. Amazing volcanic landforms and big salt pans.
Love the cooking segments!
Nice Cam great trip so far. 👍😎
Cheers mate!
great video mate loved it i am wishing to do a trip like this one day myself
Thanks mate. Do it!!!
Mate what a video! I had been hanging for days to get to watch this and now I can't wait to get into the second part! Keep up the wicked stuff dude looked bloody awesome
Thanks Graham! Cheers for watching!!
@@WildTouring seen the other parts dude and again Incredible, keep up the good work!
@@roamnround appreciate the support mate! Another episode out this Sat morning 👌
GREAT Video Cam, loved every minute of it, can't wait for the next instalment :) I bought an Ozpig thinking I'd use it for Home AND Camping, but now I'm thinking I might need a Firepit like your's for Camping and leave the Ozpig at home!!! Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Cheers Don. Glad you enjoyed mate! Ozpigs are bloody awesome too, and I think some areas at certain times will only allow enclosed fires, so would really come into its own there!
Awesome video Cam,love your work but I recon you love it better.Cheers mate.
Cheers mate. Appreciate the support!!
Another great vid. Looking forward to the rest of the series. This is the trip I’m planning for next year.
Thanks Clinto. So much to see out there, you'll have a ball!
@@WildTouring having done it now. How comfortable would you be towing your camper ? I've built a copy of the drifta dot trailer.
The Googs and the Finke River 4x4 track would be the two more difficult tracks towing. With a smaller/lighter trailer like the Drifta Dot, I think you would be fine. As long as your vehicle has the power to pull it through the soft stuff and you get the tyre pressures right. If youre going to be in a convoy with other vehicles then I wouldn't even think twice about it, would be easily done.
Wild Touring cheers I’ve got a defender (last model) So no V8 land cruiser. More than likely it’ll be a single car though.
very good,take care.
Well done bud, great video, all round,
Lithium will provide constant voltage till the end, and 35- 45 % more usable power over time AGM will drop voltage as is being used, yes your set up is gold class, I'm running 2 AGM 195 amp hour , giving me a total of 195 amp hr usage, still not as good as yours, just can't afford it,
Have camped down by that beach shack on one of my trips across the Nullabor, about 17 years ago I reckon - the fishing was off tap!
nice video.
Nice one Cam, wish I could have made it
Would have been great it you did mate, but theres always the next one!!
Great series. Sorry, may have already been asked but what time of year did you travel and what is the best time to do the Holland Track to avoid the mud? Thanks in advance..
cool
Awesome video, looking forward to the rest! Defo subbed.
What lithium battery brand/model are you using? Planing a new build for my triton and finally wanna install a dual battery system
Cheers for the sub mate, glad you enjoyed! Next part will be up this Sat morning. I'm running 2x ALLSPARK 100ah LiFePO4's. They are amazing! If you have a look through my videos you'll see I did a vid on my setup in the canopy (and same setup I put in my father in laws canopy). Definitely recomend going lithium if you're building a new system, they work out similar pricing to lead acid (AGM) when you consider the service life of them, with the added bonus of a deeper discharge, lighter, more stable voltage, crazy fast charge rate, higher max discharge current and internal protection from over charge/discharge or short circuit.
Great video . Are you going to be doing the desert treks during this series as you described earlier in your video?
Thanks George. Unfortunately not this time. With the flooding of lake Eyre, the birdsville track and my planned route across the Simpson was closed. This was a last minute 'plan b' trip. I spent a little more time 4x4ing and exploring in the NT instead. Still managed to do roughly 2500kms of dirt!
First and good stuff mate, well done
The canopy open, lucky fella
Cheers mate. Haha I actually ended up doing it a few times that trip.... Bloody numpty!
Don't worry mate, i used to do it with the work van tailgate door :(
How good is the LiFePO4 hey, that is awesome
Re: Fuel Usage, i use Fuelio App, add receipt after every fill up
It is really handy for keeping an eye on usage and any weird changes that might point to a vehicle issue of dirty fuel issue
I find it extremely helpful for engine health
The lithium is amazing, its really surpassed my expectations.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill have a look at that app tonight! I do need something like that. And youre bang on, would be a great way of picking up fuel quality issues.
The Fuel Apps are good mate, they can provide a lot of information in a simple form, especially after a few months of using them.
You can even set Service Intervals in them so you get a reminder on your phone and also track service costs as well as fuel costs.
Because fuel prices vary so much when travelling, i found it good to see my economy stayed fairly steady, even if the price of fuel didn't.
Multiple vehicles can be set up too
🤙
But I don't want to wait until next Saturday for the next one. Why do we have to wait til next Saturday? It's not fair making us wait til next Saturday!! Can't you like, take a day off and do some editing? Seriously though, love yer work. Really good stuff. Thanks.
Haha wish I could!! Thanks mate :)
Awesome Cam! Was secretly hoping the cliff would collapse right in front of you and scare the crap out of ya 😂 is that a little bit too dark?
Cheers Dan. Hahaha would have made good video!!
😂👍
Ahhh Bro, I only came across your channel yesterday, fantastic. Another fellow Ginger Ninja. You have a Patreon? I live in Perth. Been to Ceduna, beautiful.
😂 Cheers mate!
I do;

Hey cam , can you tell me what brand your rubbish bag was in the back of your canopy and how did you attach it
Awesome video, brought back memories when we crossed the Nulabor many years ago. Now off to watch part 2 😬👍👍. And as for the person that gave this a thumbs down 🖕
Haha cheers 🍻
Great video mate! Love your filming. What cameras do you use?
Cheers mate. This trip was a GoPro 6 with rode external mic, gopro 4 and dji mavic air drone. Some of my other videos also include footage from a Nikon DSLR with rode mic.
What sort of drone are you flying mate?....looks quite compact
Great vid mate 👍 just want to ask what is that above ur oven ?
Just a portable Bluetooth speaker
Hi Cam, Excellent video as usual mate. What fire pit are you using and where do find them. looks a good quick set up. :-)
Thanks mate! It's a copy of the snowpeak portable fire pit. I bought it off eBay, they called it 'camping moon portable fire pit'. Red roads also sell an identical one .
@@WildTouring cheers Cam, ill check them out. The Thermacell works a treat too. Thanks mate Cheers, Col
Hi mate, new subscriber here, enjoying your vids, they are getting better and better. Keen to know your thoughts on the ryobi 12v chainsaw. Also mate, what camera gear and mic do you use? Keep it up.
Dan
Cheers for the sub Dan. I'll do a proper review/comparison between the ryobi Elec and stihl 2stroke soon. But in a nutshell - i think it's good for collecting wood quickly and quietly for a smaller fire for one night. Very little maintenance, small and light.
Using a GoPro 4, gopro 6, Nikon DSLR, rode external mics and dji mavic air drone.
Nice one Cam. Cheers bloke. Keep up the good work.
lizard dragging its tail? thats my bootprint on each side of the drag line. im blessed
Hey, is that the fire pit from darche? I'm going to pick one up..bloody expensive but I'm sure it'll last. Cheers
Hey mate, no its from ebay. Looks to be exactly the same as the Darche one though, and similar price.
What time of the year did you do this trip mate?
How was the condition of the Norseman-hyden road Cam? Apparently can be in tatters.
When I was on it (couple of weeks ago), it was brilliant. Could comfortably do 90kms+.
Were abouts did u get your fire pit from mate ?
EBay. Brand was 'camping moon'. Red roads sell them too. I believe the original design was snow peaks, which can be bought through drifta.
What drone do you use mate? Cheers
DJI Mavic air
Sweet, looks awesome! How did you get the drone footage while driving?
Thanks mate! The follow me/active tracking on the mavic air is rubbish unfortunately. So getting drone footage while driving is a bit difficult solo haha.
@@WildTouring next time, take me with you eh? :D
What fire pit is it mate ?
My one is off eBay. Branded 'campingmoon'. Redroads also sell one, as does darche now. They're all a copy of the original snowpeak fire pit.
Who doesnt enjoy an oyster and a poo at the same time
Also, let us know your instagram handle once you get that sorted.
