To check level of gas bottle, sit it up right, boil kettle pour a bit of water down side of bottle, condensation will show the level of gas, can also after a few seconds feel where it goes from hot to cold, cold will be where the level of gas is, works a treat

You can also weigh the bottle. The tank should have weights stamped on the collar. I'm not sure on the OZ standard but you should also be able to ask the bloke filling it what the empty weight is.

Excellent video, Ronny. I have been camping (for fishing and hunting) in remote areas of Northern Michigan (US) and Northern Ontario (Canada) for over 45 years, often in very remote areas, out of canoe for a week or more, and then using our 4x4 on the return trips back to the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, including trips out west and to Alaska. It is definitely a huge bummer when your equipment does not perform in the manner expected (or is missing!). Your tips are very helpful -- as reminders for folks who are not regular overlanders, and for those of us who might forget something now and then. Thank you very much for your close attention to the details!

Careful with using a hatchet as a hammer. Hitting anything hard underground ( buried rock ) with the peg can transfer the force right back at you. As a medic, treated a guy who took a hatchet blade to the chin from hammering and hitting solid rock under the dirt. If you do, at least use the flat edge so the blade is facing left or right ( seems like common since but there's always that one guy).

A good tip for those using chemical toilets is to carry sachets or tablets rather than bottles of chemicals. Two things, the bottles take up much more room and secondly if a bottle splits open you have all that chemical through your vehicle, drawers etc.

Ronny, To remedy the LP gas bottle issue, I pretty much quit using LP and don't take a bottle/tank anymore. My camp cooking is done on the camp stove, in a small folding camp oven or over the fire. I went back to using an old school dual fuel (white gas/gasoline) camp stove, a multi-fuel MSR Dragonfly stove and a dual fuel lantern or LEDs for my lighting needs. Since my truck is not a diesel, I carry a 20L Jerry can of gasoline, and at least a gallon of white gas (separated into a few smaller plastic tanks for redundancy) for multi-day trips. The 20L Jerry can be back up for stove, lantern, or my truck.

For gas/propane bottles, I would highly recommend to check with your local U-haul or welding supply store. They will refill also your Amerigas or Blue Rhino bottle, but charge you just for the amount you need to refill. So just go and refill and start your trip with full bottles each time without overpaying for nothing.

Hi there Ronnie a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your's. Great video as usual. just wanted to mention a few tips that may help. Lemon juice will remove tent mold very quickly and leave it smelling fresh. Wipe your fridge out on return from your trip. I use a plastic cap off a spray can which I fill with bicarb and place in the fridge. Then using a wedge to prop the lid open a few centimeters to allow air flow; cover the fridge with an old bed sheet to keep the beasties out and store. Cast iron pots / fry pans /griddles cleaned after each use with a chux cloth then a Bar B Que wipe, then oiled before storing in their carry bag leaves them rust free Hot water poured down the side of a gas bottle will give a condensation line to show gas remaining. I use a Coleman two burner stove with a 2 ltr bottle for all my cooking which will last me a couple of weeks in the bush as I only cook for myself.I also carry two of the green screw on bottles from Bunnings just in case as they have the same fitting. Water purification;.1 drop of iodine (liquid Betadine) per liter of water 1 hour before drinking kills most bacteria. Packing your R 3 / 4 or 5 30 sec tent ; once rolled up and strapped place the tent bag over the tent with the zips facing the ground, stretching the ends over the rolled up tent. Then flip it over and do up the zip.Hope this helps some of your viewers Regards from bigezi

Plenty of things u can pre prep veg wise to just leave a little water in there for carrot so it doesnt dry out.

Tyre monitors, a silly little gadget. BUT.. i did a plug repair from a malley bush puncher on my car. the week out west it held up well with 18 PSI. hit the hwy with 30 psi and at 110k/h. i noticed a loss of 1 psi every 100 km. the tyre monitor saved that tyre. we stopped and swapped the leaking tyre. getting the slow leak repaired at home. just saved $250 and maybe our lives. driving in a straight direction for hours with no bends i don't think we would have felt the low rear tyre pressure until to late.

Great vid RD as always - picked up a couple new tips - thanks Here's our tip - We ONLY carry NiMH AA and AAA batteries (Eneloop's or LSD - low self discharge variants) in our camper. Use the AA to C/D cell adaptors in those devices requiring them (the adaptor lives in those devices and get the same if not better capacity when 2/3 AAs are running in parallel; decent NiMH has better capacity over Alkaline like for like - maybe not lithium single use but cost about the same?). Carry a small 4 port AA/AAA/18650 USB charger just in case- takes up less room and enviro friendly (no toxic waste to store and recycle - just recharge set aside for the next refill.) keep up the good work

We do several research trips a years and despite being seasoned travellers and campers there is almost always something that gets forgotten. We make extensive lists but even then, there is stuff that just gets missed some times. Just got back from the south west and we forgot to take a kettle! Pretty basic right? With the best prep in the world, you will probably wind up missing something. Great vid, Very chilled out dog, didn't budge and inch when the swag hit the ground :) One thing about gas bottles, it is a VERY good idea to get a safety gauge that prevent leaks if the valve is accidentally turned on. I believe new laws may be coming that mean a safety valve will have to be fitted to bottles as a standard feature. With regard to porta potti chemicals, we stopped using them years ago. Yes they can get a bit ripe if you don't empty them regularly and it is a problem if you can't store the potti in a trailer but it does mean that they are safe to empty into normal septic systems because there are no additives.

SLOWLY pour the hot water down one side of the gas bottle. A line of condensation may appear, indicating the gas level. ... Wait a few seconds and then run your hand down the same side of the gas bottle, where you poured the water. You should feel a change of temperature at the level of the gas. Sometimes it helps to run a stove or something at the same time when checking. However I just do the pick up a feel test by shaking it side to side. years of practice!

Dude, you own a Patriot camper and have toy torches that require you to carry a shop full of batteries ? I carry absolutely no spare batteries and can go away for months at a time. Give those rubbish torches to the kiddies and buy some decent Olight or Acebeam torches from lightshop. For what you actually get, they aren’t that dear. The batteries last way longer and are 12V USB rechargeable anyway, and torch build and light quality are so good that on the maximum setting you can see a possum a mile away and probably blind them as well. Their head torches are also absolutely fantastic compared to everything else I have seen. As for shaking the gas bottle to determine how much gas is in it, I have invested in a $20 gas fuse instead. You not only have a built in an automatic safety shutoff that stops any potential gas explosions but as a bonus it also has a gauge that tells you exact how much gas you have left in the bottle. So a bit more accurate than a quick shake. Go have a look at the gear I have suggested and let me know what you think of it.

My camping supplies are also my emergency earthquake bail out supplies ( needed where I live in NZ ) , so everything is kept up to date and ready to go . I have found that Milton baby-bottle steriliser tablets are great for sterilising all eating irons , plates ,cups etc before storage . They also get the coffee and tea stains off cups . metal cups are either lip burning hot or too cold so I use good quality insulated travel mugs with lids . Chemical toilets are great but they freeze up solid in winter and need to be well wrapped up when camping in snow conditions ( -5 -20 C ). Alloy boxes or drums are best for long term storage of items which vermin can chew on or make nests in . High intensity torches ( flash lights) should be deactivated before being packed away , I have seen a torch turn on and set fire to the sleeping bag it was stored in .

What tent are you showing at 4:30? I’m in the US so I’d really like to find one just like it here. It looks like just the right type of tent to coerce my wife into camping. TIA

Add a cutting edge to forks... Easier to cut your food... use a grinder and sharpening stone... Just be careful when drunk and eating...

Hi Ronny, Great video. You use a lot of small bags to store different items, very neat and tidy. Where do you get those bags from?

Ours say no top loaders, which sucks cos that is what we have, but front loaders are generally OK for down and synthetic bags. Since we have a top loader, we use sleeping bag liners (Cotton for warmer weather, wool for colder and same brand as or bags and pads) just take out the liners wash them and hang the sleeping bags air out in the sun. It is always important not to store your down or synthetic bags in their stuff sacks, good sleeping bags will come with a large net storage sack or you can store them flat or hang them up. The idea is not to compress them.

All of these camping videos I want to watch lead me to Aussies who talk about camping in the bush or the beach. I live in Colorado. I’m going to the Rocky Mountains! But these people know what they are talking about and I love the different names for things.

Tent stakes NO NO NO.... Go you your Hardware/Lumber store and get Bridge Spikes( huge F'n nails). You can pound them right through rock. They hold GREAT and with a couple of sideways hammer hits they come right out.

John Allen : Great Idea... A problem with modern tents is that they often come with aluminium (aluminum) pegs which bend when striking the smallest pebble.... a good selection of at least 1/4 inch STEEL(6.35 mm) pegs, preferably -edit.- 3/8 - and a few 1/2 inchers for good measure- allows you to pound them through most obstacles - even roadbase (1.5-2 inch gravel), just use a "jackhammer type method", lots of small percussive blows with your striker of choice)..... A claw hammer is handy for retrieving pegs, though the hook on a spare peg can help pull them out... (PS, I am Australian - Metric singe 1974, but I still use imperial for "rough" sizing, it works - half cm ~1/4 inch. 10mm~1/2 inch, rough and ready.)

@@kadmow I usually use a hatchet to drive in the tent peg nails and when removing them I'll hook the head of one nail with the head of another for a pulling tool. After a few hard ground uses the heads get a little "mushroomed" and they grab each other nicely. The claw hammer would work better, but trying to eliminate the number of tools I bring. Those bridge spikes have saved me a few times when it's real windy or a Dust Devil hits unexpectedly. My spike of choice is 3/8 inch X 10 inch or aprox. 9mm X 25 centimeters.
