You are so kind! Thanks so much (:
Luv your attitudes and how open, honest and raw u 2 r. U crack us up with the banter too, safe travels & would b awesome to c u some day & have a beer around the fire, cheers 🍻
Thanks so much!! We will see you out there 🤠
Love your positivity. Well done Elenya & Nick on giving not just yourselves an experience of a lifetime but giving your gorgeous children a real life educational experience. Safe travels 💓
Thank you so much! And thanks for all your support 🤠
Farout that was absolutely AWESOME!! Best channel by far on youtube!! Could seriously watch a new episode daily hahaha. You guys are the best !! 🤣 Lennox the little legend always lending a helping hand. Safe travels... cant wait for friday!! Woohoo.
Wow, thanks! So great to hear (: thanks for watching 🤠
Ahahahah!!! Team!!! Epic episode! You mob are hilarious!!! Love watching your episodes, we’re trying to grow our channel, different to yours, but team! You’re so natural, so naturally comical and just so good to watch!! We’re having a chilli margs watching trying to set up feckin StarLink. Lead foot well done!!! 😂🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thanks so much!! It takes time to grow them doesn’t it !! And we have been having trouble with the link lately !!🤔
Loved the episode guys. Well done. Also was great meeting you guys at Purni Bore. Thanks for taking the time out and chatting with us.
Our pleasure! Was great meeting you guys to !! We never seen any camels 🥹 haha safe travels 🤠👍
Another great episode and personally I think you’re one of the best CZcamsrs travelling Australia. Had a good laugh about the beetroot, been there myself 😂
Wow, thank you! 🤠 it went every where 😂 thanks for all your support 🤘
Yeeeeehhaaaaaaa Dukes of Hazard are back!!🤣🤣
You 2 are a classic😝what a fun episode 🤪
What a fun experience and bucket list item completed in the Simpson Desert🙏🏻💯
Now you’ve done it, could you have done it with your normal van
Hey it was certainly an adventure !!! No I don’t think we would have made it with the normal van !! Not without great difficulty 😂👍
Great trip and vid. To note is that trailers are quite damaging to the dunes. Watching the tracks deteriorate over the years and multiple Simpson crossings, one notices the slow destruction. I was fairly shocked to see rubbish, car batteries and toilet paper blowing in the wind on my most recent crossing 2 weeks ago. Poor tyre pressures and not using 4wd are also 2 other factors contributing. Not having a go, but you guys have a great platform here to educate as well as entertain. All of us 4wd adventurers have a duty to keep our beautiful country open, to protect it, learn and share from each other on how best to do this ✌🏼
Hey Richard! Totally agree on your comment above! However us not being in 4WD was an honest mistake. We were out there approx 4 weeks ago and we were pleasantly surprised how well kept the camps were and didn’t see rubbish at all. Must depend on the people on the crossing at the time (:
Appreciate your support! (:
@@elnick.adventures all cool and thanks for the reply. We’ve all hit a few tracks the wrong way plenty of times and will all hit a few more. As an outback traveller for over 30 years, I do believe that now more than ever the rate of exploring is increasing as is the rate of destruction. That does come hand in with travelling so minimising the damage I think is about the best tool we have prior to severe restrictions and finally track closures (which are happening in my local forest, and has been increasing significantly). Helping each other along the way by sharing information I find is a decent way to go about it. Happy travels out there and don’t think about the flies, don’t think about the flies, don’t think about the flies….😝
No wonder Ollie is always smiling, you both are always so happy 😀
We are pretty lucky we all get along so well 🤠 thanks for the support
You two crack me up , simmo or bust,
Crazy buggers.
😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahah were a couple idiots with a camera 😂
Charcoal is super good for you, you should be thankful lol, and eat more of it, it will help the poops too lol
Thanks Peter we eat a fair bit of it 😂😂😂
Good, city people can buy it in capsules at the chemist for their gut health, but yours is free and natural lol@@elnick.adventures
Good works Nic ,you turned the corner today Praise God !
Thanks for watching (:
Thanks guys for another brilliant episode, so natural, so you, all of you, dirt and cooking brilliant mix. Drone and video shots are top notch and enjoyable. Thank you.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤠
Thanks so much Hugo 🙌🤠
Love watching you guys 😂 Just a tip when making white sauce you need to melt butter first add the flour and stir until combined. Then you gradually add the milk to thicken. 😊😊😊
That’s how to avoid lumps is it hahah😂😂
Another epic guy's, you two need a medal for your efforts and those boys are growing so quick, cheers and look forward to more traveling adventures
Thanks 👍 they are Ollie is nearly walking !!! So much more to come thanks for watching 🤠👍
Hands down the best youtube channel you guys are real, funny as and full of life. I would love to crack a tinnie around the fire with you guys ( after the boys are in bed lol). Was suposed to do a double crossing this year but work stuffed that up yet again. Keep burning stuff Elenya best darn cookin show out there who needs toothpaste it's over rated.😊
Your awesome! Thanks so much for your support - hopefully one day we can have a 🍻 around the fire (:
Hahaha yes toothpaste is overrated 😂
Love It Never seen anyone work as hard as you guys But still laugh and enjoy what you guys do It wouldn’t be easy Great Beautiful Family 💜
Thanks so much!! 🙌 appreciate your support (:
Best jaffles are corned beef, cheese, tomato & onion. Quite the staple when we’re bush. Another fave is sardines. Not for everyone we know but we like ‘em. Goodonya
Oh yummm! Corned beef is the bees knees 😂🙌 nick would like the sardines 🙌
OMG I just can’t handle watching the flies 🤦🏼♀️🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰
I think the choc chips in the brownies were 🪰😆
Hahahah I know we are multiple flys 😂😂😂
I would not miss that cakle laugh of yours
Thanks for watching 🤘
Oh my God men are all alike. You give him heaps Elenya 😂😂😂
Hahahah I will don’t worry 😂
So good! We have had the Simpson on our list for a while but have not done it yet with the kids, cudos!! 👍🍻🍻🤙
Such an awesome adventure (: just make sure your prepared 🙌
Very interesting to see the axle camera work as you traversed a dune. The real bonus was seeing the spring mounted tray doing it's stuff, I'm very glad you did that. In terrain like that, the tray is always moving and when they are starting to lift like you showed, they creak. If you hear the rear of the truck creaking, that's when the tray is lifting.
Hey thanks for watching we agree all of that stuff is interesting and seeing how much everything moves surprised us !!
Great video, good to see a family being so natural 👍💙
😊 thank you! Appreciate the support
👏👏👏👏awesome guys you are so brave it’s a huge challenge and your nailing it !! Love those sand dunes 💕💕
Thanks so much! It was a great adventure (:
Those jaffles looked fine to me, how’d ya keep the flying sultanas out of them or do you just eat the extra protein and wash it down with a beer🍻👍
Yeah I think we ended up eating a few 😂😂
You guys are amazing! Awesome episode. We made jaffles for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Definitely trickier than we thought.
Arnt they! It’s hard to get the heat right over the fire (: 😂 thanks for watching 🤠
very beautiful work again guys, the Sinpson is beautiful
Thank you very much!(:
Thanks guys fantastic.
Thanks for watching 🤠👍
Excess charcoal on the burnt toast of a jaffle can be scraped off.
Otherwise do the miner's pasty trick. Eat the inside and throw away the casing that was contaminated by minerals on the miners hands.
We never knew about the miners! Thanks for watching 🤠🙌
Awesome been 10 minutes since i watched had to come back to tell you i'm still Smiling. so uplifting in these well current times. Cheers safe travels 😀
So glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much for watching 🤠🤘
omg the flies!!
I know 😂🪰 too many!
Love watching you guys!! Your energy is amazing!! You guys are always happy and laughing. I look forward to your episodes every week. You guys are amazing 😍🤩
Thank you so much!!(:
Amazing video.
Your efforts are deeply appreciated.
You need to give Suzi a decent remap and release her full potential.
Thanx for all your hard work.
Cheers
Johnny&Rene
Hey guys we are looking into it !!! Thanks for watching 🤠👍
A local tuner has the same truck and doubled the power and almost 3x the torque and zero modifications and reliable.
Great epp guys! Your so fun to watch.
And 3 or maybe 4 kids in the red dirt! Well managed.
4 kids 😂 thanks for watching 🤠
I think we may have passed you heading west in a small convoy. The Simpson sure is an experience. Great video guys, looking forward to the rest of the series :)
Hope you guys had a good trip too! 🙌 thanks for watching 🤠
Great episode guys... as somone who has weekly chiropractic appointments I would highly recommend air ride seats!!!
Thanks for the tip!(:
You guys are totally nuts but I love it.
Haha thanks Andy (: 🙌
What a way to start the weekend 🕶🤙👍
Thanks so much Paul! Glad you enjoyed it (:
@@elnick.adventures Always a winner 🤙
I haven't even watched the video yet, but a thumbs up for making the effort and making plans happen.
Thanks so much! 🙌 we had the best time (:
There's flies and then there's flies.🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰
Yep! Too many for our liking 😂🪰
Yum, those jaffles make me want to go camping, charcoal, lumps and all. 😂👍
😂😂 jaffles are the best! 🙌
Just scrape the burnt part off with a knife . It works very well . Oh if the kids get the hearshy squirts again give the egg and rice omelette rinse the rice really good and use the least oil to cook them , you want the omelette bland as possible . I have this problem a lot through my life and these egg and rice usually cork things up .
Thanks so much for the tip will definatley try it out 🤠👍
Keen to watch your adventures always a good laugh involved as well
Thanks so much Liam 🤠
Definitely protect yourself from the flies. Eye infections and diarrhoea are common. Love the realism. Great episode 👍
Thanks for watching Annie 🤠👍
I have been very lucky to travel 3 times to Australia and loved the country very much. I wish I could live and work there for good and also go out on adventures like yours 👍
It’s a big country isn’t it!! Thanks for watching🤘🤠
Guys you are going to have have to add the thankyou button, because the effort you put into these videos deserves 2 cups of coffee.
Thanks so much Dennis! I’ll get Nick onto that 😂
Awesome episode guys! Such an interesting adventure the Simpson, as it’s something I’m just not equiped for. Thanks heaps for sharing guys! Roc on legends, and travel safe 🍺🍺🍺
Thanks so much for watching !!🤠👍
Another great video guys stay safe❤ love you guys
Thank you! Will do!(:
Love watching your travels. There are a few clips on here of people on their motor bikes who did a solo crossing of the Simpson desert. It's worth watching them.
Yes there were a few motorbikes out there (: 🙌 thanks for watching 🤠
Gr8 ep guys makes me wanna do the simmo for the 6 th time 🤣🍻
😂😂 oh wow! 5 times! (: it is a great adventure (:
@@elnick.adventures love the adventure of the Simmo … last trip was a double crossing East to West and back with a few detours 😂🤣
Hi guys
Wow those tyres on the truck don’t look cheap but they are very doing the job.
The flies must be a real pain.
They arnt 😂 yes the flies came in masses! (:
Good job guy’s, the fly’s are pretty friendly out there. Savoury mince or Spaghetti bolognaise & Cheese makes a gr8 Jaffle. Cheers
Oh yum!!! That sounds delicious (:
Love ya Jaffal recipe 🏆, might have to give that a try
Great to see you taking your time and soaking it up 👍
Hey thanks mark !!! Apart from the burn they were awesome hope all is well 🤠👍
Woo Hoo! Go the Elenya in the Simpson! Love the jaffles and white sauce. Hope the boys are on the mend❤️❤️❤️.

No wonder Nick's teeth are so nice and white. 🤣🤣 they say charcoal is good for your teeth. 😅 awesome episode 👏

Had a great time across the Simpson at 18psi in my Prado. Was a dry August. Very surprised last May on ghe SA/Vic Border Track to find my br😢eakfast 18 had becme 22 at morning tea bogging!
Hey both spots are so great aren’t they !!🙌
Those are some nice dance moves you’ve got there Elanya?
Ahahaha she’s a mover 😂😂😂
so so so proud of you guys
Thanks Goeff! Appreciate your support 🙌
Good job on the cooking segment girl xx
Thank you 😋✨
The nugget is an absolute shambles of a set up, I bet you're ready to drop that to the tip and get your van
Oh god no! The nugget is an absolute weapon of an offroad van! We were amazed with how well it went offroad actually 🙌 if we didn’t have 3 young kids, it would be t awesome for our offroad adventures (:
Love Birdsville and the simpson desert !
Such and epic adventure 🙌 thanks for watching 🤠
Just remember the salt pan before poppels corner, grey is ok , brown you go down
Thanks. We could see a few people had gone down there recently !! 🤠
I think we passed you guys not far from Poeppel Corner we were heading west in the Unimog, the biggest dunes we had to tractor up in 2nd or first, some of the holes were massive.
Hey yes we remember you guys !! There were some big ones that’s for sure !! Thanks for watching 👍🤠
Fantastic episode , just loved every minute of the frivolities in driving the Simpson Desert . Awesome family adventures with the flies ……….how did you cope with the flies ? Look forward to the next video .
Hey thank you !! We actually got fly nets that seemed to help a lot !!🤠👍
This is unreal guys!!
Thanks so much for your support! 🤠
Actually if you guys loved the Simpson dessert, you’d like driving the informal dog fence back down towards Googs track?
I thought you couldn’t drive the dog fence ???🤔
Mate we just got back from a Simpson run just a poke out to eyre creek it’s amazing and doing it with 2 kids and 2 dogs was hard but good
The eyre creek was so much fun! Glad you guys had a good time (: thanks for watching (:
Always entertainment you lot
Thanks so much for watching 🤠👍
They breed those flies so big out there and so many...lol
Omg don’t they! I can’t believe how many there were (:
what do they eat...lol@@elnick.adventures
Good Morning 😊 Awesome content 👍🏼 Greetings and cheers Mates 🍻 From South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks so much for watching 🤠
Love your well worn hat. Is it Morgan territory hat? Perhaps cotton, not wool? I want a hat like yours. Thanks for all the videos.
It’s an Akubra Rough rider! (: it’s still just hanging in, he’s had it for years and years 😂
You guys are amazing. This is what I 'm working for too, just need the $$$$
Hard work pays off 🙌 hope to see you out there one day 🤠
Fly's love there time on the camera
There were a few around 😂
Promite and Cheese Jaffles are the go..
NA mate Vegemite for us Aussies😂
@@kimnewburn1 I'm a Aussie, Vegemites bloody nasty mate.
So good 🙌
Really interested in this one guys as I would like to do it with my off road 15 foot van. What is your thoughts. Tow vehicle is a dual cab
I guess anything is doable however I feel like you shouldn’t do it with an 15ft van (: you could always leave your van at Birdsville or Dalhousie springs and do abit of the desert ?
Another great video. How much fuel did you use?
We have explained in the latest Simpson episode (: thanks for watching 🙌
why doesnt the trailer have electric drive motors on the wheels them dunes would be like mole hills if suz wasn`t trailing that weight seen lots of struggles with others also
Will pass this feedback on! Thank you 🙌
Just wondering if your keep track of you fuel consumption whle crossing the Simmo?
We have it’s all in next weeks video 👍🤠
The flies are terrible
They sure are 🤦♀️🪰
Always amazed me ya out in the middle off no where and there's millions off flys around , why they there nothing around 4 them to survive and breed 🤔
We kept asking ourselves the same thing! Bloody flies 😂🪰
🇿🇦♥️♥️💙💙💙
Thanks for watching 🤠
Have a crack mate
😂 got to look after the gear 😉
