Hey mate liked your video, you have a serious amount of clamps. From my perspective that tells me you're a man to be reckoned with, thanks, Mick

Remember folks don’t wear steel cap boots when metal detecting other wise every step you take will be giving you a reason to dig for nothing.

is there a engine oil cooler delete ?

Cheers Rusty, also looking at doing something similar. Also in Perth, thnx

Great video, thanks mate

That's a pretty good camping setup you have there Rusty. I like the carrier for the quad on the drawbar on the caravan. The gold is pretty elusive at times eh. Currently at Yalgoo with the Mrs and will do some detecting tomorrow. The ground further north is very wet after the recent rain, so hopefully better here 😊.

Rusty, would love to join you but will have to be next year mate, (medical issues)

Great Video! Good filming and info, appreciate you taking the time to share your camping setup etc in addition to the gold prospecting. Id be keen to get one the "Gazza Pigs' if you can share details. All the best.

That’s a balancing weight that sticks to a rim Instantaneous obviously the two-way sticker did not work very well

Those sat phones don't work anymore

Great video Rusty that was your trip after the chain broke on my Honda, the countryside was certainly dense, glad the Gazza pig worked well for you regards Gary

Well done. Thanks for a great video.

Hi mate, I’m at Nookawarra Station, 200 km north west of Cue, I know there’s an area with gold , if you want to you can come and visit.

I would like a PLB , one day will get one .. I keep my car and my van in view or if I can't see it I know where it is at all times ... And yes it's hard going through the bush with caravan on the back mine is 20 foot

Hi Rusty , you not the only one struggling to find gold , I live in my caravan so I been out around coolgardie for bout 3 months now. I m thinking about going up cue way .. .about safety , I have trilobite on phone so I'm tracking where I'm going . I have E10 GPS never used it. I have coden radio in my car , and I'm a member of Austravel , I send GPS location to the base and each time I do this my mum and dad get an email plus one of my mates ..also Austravel has morning and afternoon skeds ...plus I can make phone calls from my radio ...I'm also a ham radio operater as well .

Nice, I like the idea of the van. So if it's ok to ask, how much was the old girl, and what did you need to spend to bring it up to the standard you wanted.

What you should carry, but don't, and everyone else seems to not carry either, is firewood. You could easily have bought enough for a five day trip from a firewood supplier. The reason why this is an issue for me, is the wood on the ground is part of the ecology/environment. It provides homes and shelter for small creatures, and when degrading it provides nutrients to plants. Collecting and burning wood is destructive. I hate seeing people with these massive bonfires that waste so much wood. Eventually, there will be a scarcity of wood with everyone collecting it. People go camping to enjoy it, but you are destroying what you came for.

Don't we go bush to get away from that internet social media stuff?

Great video mate and yes we carry most of what you have. In addition to that we carry a defibrillator in the truck as you never know who may need it, plus we live in our van full time so we have everything on hand. We had a ripper of a season last year just south of where you were but not a lot of luck this season so far but it’s early. By the way thanks for the plug it’s most appreciated. See you around the traps

He rusty Just for your info the Starlink app has a built in speed tester

Things we carry in our pack or on our person. I carry a few things. A Silva compass. A 3lt camel back pack, knife with fire starter, a headtoarch, a power bank, solar powered, takes forever to charge, but does charge. I also carry a few of those energy squeeze packs cyclist's use. With my quad, I carry all sorts of stuff, puncture kits and ryobi plus 1 compressor. You have a really nice set up bloke. I'm totally different country to you though, darwin area.

Long time no see, been awhile, I'm sure a gold nugget is close by

It's under the sand

In the goo

Hey Rusty, I found your video after doing a search on the internet. We are buying a ute, we want it fitted with bullbar and front and rear racks, but they wont fit a front rack to the bull bar because something to do with the airbags sensor. So I am going to get a friend to fit me one, but I wanted to ask, how do you determine what weight the racks can handle? And is there some govt regulations regarding weights that can be loaded on to racks? Cheers

Hi rusty,how have you mounted your solar on the roof of your caravan ta

Love that van Mate!! Thanx for the Vid

Hi Rusty, Great to see you back mate. Its a wheel balancing weight someone has lost. Hopefully the next find will be yellow. Always informative and helpful.

Thanks for your insight on things down AU way.I hunt Northwest desert in Arizona,not quite as remote as your setting.Wish it was? But some of the same issues.Always be prepared.Cheers

I heard to carry emu air horn, solar, works is like a reverse led light. They have diodes. Some times the diode breaks down. Carbon. There two diodes. One a bypass for series panel connection panels. The second inline for reverse protection. Because at night the panel becomes a led light in a spectrum you can not see. If need to replace, buy big power diodes

Do you cary asprin. If heart attack. I was a little ill. My heart thought there was no blood. So it stored fluid and made blood. I had a heart attack with not knowing. I have to get my heart zapped. The doctor said everyone should have.

Try scotch fillet and, in the end, very strong cheader cheese. I think plate split with heat in the middle and cold outside. Also, i watched doug stone rake area over the detected in WA. Have you seen the victoria gold hunters.

Great content! Is it just my laptop playing havoc or did you have trouble with your microphone connection?

Another question if you need to use your PLB in case of an emergency. Do you need to pay for the police rescue or plane or helicopter in the gold fields as I have had a heart attack in the past but feel I am a lot healthier now but you never knowwhat might happen. Car. Snake. Broken bone.ect . At 59yo i am no longer young but i would be going out alone. Cheers Andy hopeland perth.

What detector are you using. I havd a garret ATPro & AT Max but I dont know if they will be any good in gold country. Same size van and a pajero i0. I would love to go gold hunting . Whats your thoughts cheers Andy hopeland perth. .

Hi Rusty, enjoy your vids. Are you going to upgrade your sat phone since Thuraya no longer have a satellite? Regards Andrew

Thanks for the vid. Ya left me Hungry for gold and a good feed . cheers Johno

Looks like the weights they put on Alloy wheels

It's a self adhesive wheel balancing weight

Great video 🍻

Great advise. Thanks!

Will your solar cable interfere with the annexe

When i bolt through tubing i weld in a sleeve (tube) to run the bolt through so it doesn't crush the tube ( a crush sleeve) I see this video was three years ago so maybe you already have this done. Roger USA

Solid video Rusty very informative. Have you tested the battery to see how long it will run your 2 engels without charging it?

Great work did you need to change your gas struts to accommodate the new panels

hey what did you prime and paint your drawbar with? looks great, i need to redo mine, do you recommend a method to remove any surface rust thanks

Awesome, well done. Take care :)

The ENGEL MT-45 I purchased here in the U.S.A. in 2009 uses the Sawafuji Electric Co swingmotor compressor. Thanks for your video. Using two Engels makes perfect sense! when one wants both a fridge and a freezer at the same time. I was ponderin' the same thing; keeping my current fridge in the small caravan/trailer galley and the newer freezer (when I might buy one) inside the right rear door of the four-door truck. Safe travels to you!

nice job I'm doing my 80 soon. and I agree fairleads should be included in the box. but kings is a budget brand that's probably why you didn't get one. thank you again for the video. and I'm in Brookdale do you want to come and give me a hand lol.

We just want to hope they don't start mining down there like they have with the Perth hills, ban logging then start mining...what a joke!.
