“Danmedown” I think I’ve finally started to figure out why you love your job so much... it allows you to consume as much beer as you want at what ever time of the day, and edit it to make it look like you’ve only had one at 4 in the arvo.... bloody genius Harry

[@woofhound]

Yes, that's it. Drinks a 6 pack before and after each meal...

[@oscadelta]

And eat .. how is he not the size of a barn? 🤭😊🤣🍻🥓🥩

[@firetofork]

Oh yeah absolutely. There is nothing accidental about this. It was 1pm and that was my 4th beer. This is livin

[@HelloThere-hl5rl]

It's allways 4pm some were in the world.

[@KarlEller]

I honestly love friendships where you can just give each other shit for hours on end 🤣 Dan definitely deserved those Danmedowns, gotta love it when you can look after your mates.

[@worthy_escapes]

"Danmedowns" I absolutely love that you can give back to your mates, the friendship you have is obvious in that video. Thanks to Dan for sharing his life with us as well, because that can't be easy to do. Please continue to do what you do, and I hope Dan can continue to live the best life he has for as long as he can.

[@michaelrawlings5899]

Harry all I can say that this is one of the best episodes that you have done. You can see the friendship between you and Dan. That's what mates are for to rip the crap out of each other. It was also great to compare your setups and see that there may be some differances ( major differances ) and price points but, you go with what you can afford. Maybe if the future there can be more Danmedowns.

[@chriswilli36]

Danmedowns - great episode. It’s awesome you got to help out your best mate. I am fairly new to you channel but I’m loving the cooking tips. We have a plan to do a lap in a couple of years and camp cooking is something I am so looking forward to. Keep up the great work!

[@philsymons9614]

Harry that was a ripper ep, your mate has a grin from ear to ear when you guys were chatting, these are the moments we all should cherish. Life is only as much fun as we make it.

[@lentilbeanz]

Been getting back out and about with my young family, your vid’s have really helped with the motivation, this one especially so. Our setup is at best 10k worth and heaps of ‘danmedowns’ but it works for our use scenario and we’re loving it.

[@anitagill9907]

Danmedowns!!! Love it!!! So good you are able to help your best mate, it's what it's all about 👏👏👏 Always excited when we have reception and one of your videos has been uploaded, thanks again Harry🙏

[@chrisdardis4794]

Great vid! I love my 100 (used as a tourer) and agree with Dan... the fuel cost will take many many kms to equalize. Plus it is just so dependable ... has got me and my family all over and back again. My youngest scratched a nice big love heart on the bonnet when she was 3, just enhanced it's value:). All praise the 100!

[@RobbMinion]

Awesome video, its great to see the different uses and cost points, it illustrates that you dont need all the bells and whistles just to get out and have fun.

[@edmondngai5024]

Danmedowns! Love the generosity and hearing about Dan's story and how camping doesn't always need a super costly setup. Cheers for the comparison and the great vids :D

[@_macs.adventures]

Danmedown. You guys are hilarious! Loved the Ep! Just shows that when you have good mates, what have you have and where you go doesn’t matter as long as you’re with them camping!

[@tyosborne5676]

Love how genuine you are harry makes watching your videos so refreshing. Keep it up mate danmedowns

[@jarradjones8192]

“Danmedowns” we have really enjoyed watching your camping trips away with Billy as we have just had a baby and took a lot of tips from your videos!! Can’t wait to see your little man grow and introduce ours to camping and cooking! Thanks Harry!

[@kevwells]

Danmedowns, great seeing you 2 together having a bit of fun and living life. None of us know when or how it ends we just have to live it, and to me Dan has a huge advantage and a bit step ahead of anyone else who is essentially not living.

[@wilko4906]

“Danmedowns” Good on you for helping out your mates, camping and exploring is much more fun with good friends to share the experience. Absolutely Love the Prado! Keep up the great work

[@nicklongo449]

Danmedowns-great video mate, it's a great feeling to be able to help out mates who totally appreciate it. Good one Harry.👍👍

[@pieterscott792]

Great video it shows you can set up on a budget and still get into the bush and relax in comfort. Danmedown. Thanks for the great content looking forward to getting out and about again soon. Cheers 🍻

[@briandp9535]

danmedowns, this is the first video of yours I've seen, and as soon as you talk about helping out a mate, especially one who has been going through something unfortunate, it was an instant winner for me. Subscribe. Thumbs up. Legends.

[@chickeyadventures2049]

"Danmedowns" love your episodes, you are honest and down to earth and feel like you'd be truly genuine as a mate and friend to know, your mate is honestly lucky to know you! keeo up the good work and don't let the race to fame get the better of you as a person

[@mattguetlich5998]

Great episode! Loved the danmedowns, awning looks top notch on the cruiser

[@old4wds_aus]

Great video mate!! So good to show that it can be done with the simple gear on a budget 👌 We got lucky with our son, he didnt like warm bottles which made camping alot easier, pre boil water and keep it in the tent for the night.

[@benlavale]

Danmedowns! Another great episode Harry. Love the honest reviews and great information. Plus always appreciating Aussie made!

[@ruckus_bj]

You’re a good bloke Harry for the danmedowns. We all have a mate in our lives that is always up against a battle so anytime we’re able to help out with little things is always a great feeling. Onya bloke

[@jordancasper5028]

DANMEDOWN love the videos mate. Get me motivated to go out for myself when the motivation can get low. Legend.

[@gregcampbell1225]

Danmedowns Great video Harry - Keeping it real for everyone to get out there & enjoy camping👍

[@NathanKingOverland]

Great video. I enjoyed the banter between friends even more than the setup comparison.

[@wandering_off]

"Danmedowns" what a great episode to go over the pros and cons from a cheaper set up to a more expensive one. And to be able to do that with your best mate made for a great viewing clip. And I agree with Michael Rawlings, more Dan segments to explore the various camper trailer options and maybe off road capabilities of the older style camper trailers :)

[@task82]

"Danmedowns" for the win!! This was an awesome video, you can tell you lads are a couple of milk crates!! Would love to see cooking videos with Harry and Dan, ripping and vibing of each other!! As for the camping setup's, buy what you can afford, most important thing is being able to get out there and enjoy time away from the stresses of life. If you're worrying about keeping up with the Jones's, then you're never going to enjoy the moment.

[@trevorday7979]

Danmedowns. Better late than never, but only just come across your channel via Cub’s newsletter. Great vid and now subscribed. Dream setup and great to see great mates havin’ a ball while still delivering awesome content. Great stuff Harry and Dan. 👍🇦🇺

[@meakesey]

Danmedown! My wife daughter and I just did 5 weeks touring in our 150 using our RV-5. Watching all this camper trailer talk and seeing the ease of setup and so much space really makes me want to consider making the jump over to trailer life 🤔🤔

[@shaunmalivindi1309]

That’s the best thing about camping. A bit of DIY and some Danmedowns on the way to make a great set up. Love the episode and great to see Fred causing some trouble. Cheers!

[@johnpurves2951]

Everyone loves a good ‘Danmedown’! Great look at the options available for different needs and budgets. Still camping at the same great location.

[@boydauspeditions]

Thank you for a great comparison between cheap and expensive camp trailers, very nice of you for the Danmedowns, Dan would have been over the moon, good episode. cheers.

[@Jalegre]

As someone with a degenerative disease which often renders me bedridden, I appreciate the fact that you don’t treat Dan any differently to your other mates and restrain your pisstaking towards him. I rather have my mates laugh alongside me rather than look down upon me. Glad you’re helping him get out there more often too!

[@AseanNomad]

Danmedown, I admire your passion to help a good mate out without showing pity. Well done :)

[@Bassbunker]

great video and awesome to see such a candid friendship with DAN...medowns. would be cool to hear a separate segment getting into the detail of front vs rear folding camper trailers.

[@Tacos704]

Danmedowns. Just came across the channel and digging what you do. Entertaining to see how you guys camp in aus. Also dig the recipes. Keep it up man great content

[@blakeyoung4009]

Harry! My wife also suffers from Ankylosing Spondolitis. It's absolutely horrible. What a great thing you've done with this video mate. Also. Danmedowns

[@OFFTRACK4X4OZ]

Danmedown, I have a mate with a different problem but same outcome who loves the great outdoors and we love getting him out there. Great work Harry, he’s lucky to have a great mate like you

[@chrisellis4137]

Danmedowns, mate you are an absolutely amazing man to look after your mate and I love they way you both make light of the situation.

[@kathmorris3979]

Great, informative video. Thanks for highlighting Aussie made over the others. We have always tried to source and buy Australian made wherever we can. We have just sold a 15 year old Australian Off-road Camper and are in the queue for another - same brand. Thanks again for sharing. “Danmedowns”

[@JM-qg1er]

Great video. We just recently bought a Cub c/t second hand and "Danmedown' it's good thus far. just kitting it out with a few things for off- grid scenario.

[@paulfisher1160]

"Danmedowns" That is truly awesome bud. So glad you look after your mates. So right... treat them like any other mate. That is an awesome wheel design. Love the discussion. Regards

[@iantheweblord]

Danmedowns - I love your ability to be so natural while explaining "just the facts". Very entertaining, thank you.

[@bernardskelton2705]

Danmedown....thanks for the comparison video, as someone who is just beginning my journey into off road camping ( I have bought a 4wd nothing else) it gives me lots to think about in where to spend my money.

[@j.b.struckinadventures4993]

“Danmedowns” Dan and I are on the same page. Nothing at all wrong with his set up especially if you’re going camping every now and then. It’s different if it’s for your work and you nearly live out of it. Make do with what you’ve got as long as it helps you get out there Dan 👍🏻

[@louisferdinand5776]

Harry HARRY HARRRYY!!! True Aussie Spirit is all about. one of the best episodes that you have done. You should have Dan in more of your Videos

[@stephenironside1132]

“Danmedown” true friends right there no matter how bad things get in life and overwhelming it gets it all just disappears when your around good people like u harry keep up the good work mate

[@TheKenworthsar]

Dang Harry Danmedowns. Love the banter and great to help a mate out And whatever anyone has to get out there doesn’t matter the cost cheers

[@berko79]

Danmedowns - good to see a video like this. We've gone through the evolution - Swags, 2nd hand aussie trailer and now a 2nd hand van. I always cant justify the cost of buying a brand new setup. I'm sure if you did enough camping you could but for the majority of us the 2nd hand market has some ripper deals (even with a splash of covid tax)

[@alzdev6162]

Danmedowns - My MRS has Multiple Sclerosis , so we feel for your mate. We just bought a 2022 Prado and are in the process of fitting it out and hitting the dirt! She loves to cook, and with her treatment coming up on Monday I think your book would be an awesome treat. Love your work

[@pillowlines]

“DanMeDown” Love a copy of your book, just got a fire pit & can’t wait to start cooking on the open fire 🔥 Love your work bro, super inspiring. Thank you 🤙🏽

[@eddiifuentes9298]

Danmedowns. Awesome video thanks for sharing. It goes to show that you can enjoy camping life comfortably without breaking the bank 👍. I love both your chemistry as best buddies, like peanut butter and jelly 😊

[@glen65]

Great to see you passing on some "Danmedowns" to your best mate and helping out with some free gear, thanks to you and your influence. Dan looks like a guy that deserves a break now and then.

[@yanikchappuis7132]

Yessss more fire to fork!! Love the videos mate keep them coming

[@krystalmillen6165]

Danmedowns So happy to see a new video and Dan is awesome, a lot would sink in to self pity, he seems to be taking it in his stride 🍻 Thanks for another great video

[@tbonetyrone681]

Danmedowns .... cool vid bra, that awning and wet canvas was the buzz kill for us when we had a forward fold. It won't be long till you will be showing us your new offroad caravan..cheers man

[@NasTimeAdventures]

The only thing better than a great adventure are the friends you can take with you. Well done buddy.

[@niki3151]

Awesome show. love the real talk.

[@raxlife8791]

Danmedown this is the first vid I have seen of you and can't wait to binge watch the others. I may have to cook lots to keep my better half happy as well.

[@live_work_play]

"Danme downs" what an awesome friendship, true, honest and certainly gave me more food for thought!

[@Jokkles]

Love the 'hanging' on each other, pretty much me and all my mates. I have a set up more Like Dan's, second hand Aussie made with an older tow rig, love old school reliability! No codeword, already bought the book, keep up the great work!

[@stephenmullen4482]

Danmedowns, it is awesome to see someone looking after they're mates! It's great to see the differences in gear aswell

[@tobys4680]

Danmedowns Your videos are so chilled and honest. Always a good watch

[@shu11e]

Danmedowns. Awesome ep mate. Great that you can help your mates out with gear

[@4wd4mentalhealth58]

Great vid Harry. Love the banter between you & "Danmedown".

[@Mcclucker]

Great stuff! Just came across your content and love it!

[@jonvanitallie8446]

Danmedown. Really interesting Harry. I’m somewhere in the middle of your two scenarios so I am inspired now to find an old Aussie camper. Cheers.

[@grahamkent8939]

Danmedown ! Pls give the book to Dan what a nice fella , it goes to show what ever you spend to get out and about it don’t matter as long as it serves your needs and you enjoy your time it’s worth every cent !

[@firetofork]

Don’t worry he has a book!

[@grahamkent8939]

He deserves two lol thank you for your content harry if I may be a bit bold I reckon you need hats in your store Bernie’s and dress ones

[@hostage1985]

Danmedowns, lol. loved seeing a good comparison. We’ve just bought an imported camper trailer as we needed the size for our large family. But if Aussie made was in our budget for the size, we would have stuck with that. Dan seems like a great bloke, and love the good old mate banter. Great Vid

[@squatch2461]

Danmedowns, loved Dan's comment as he was trying to pull the trailer forward to get it hitched. 🍻 Great episode.

[@DaveMacsCamp]

Danmedowns. Lol for a cooking show there was a massive amount of fire and forks in this ep!! Good vid. Nearly another travel vlog style . 👍

[@ShadowLeagues]

Awesome video, I’ve got a cub kamparoo and what I do with the awning is leave it zipped on, and just flip it over the top too close it up with it, it saves having too zip it back on every time. Saves a lot of effort just a tip too anyone with one

[@gratefulmule]

"Danmedown"great episode Harry,love the banter between you to.🇳🇿👍🍻

[@scottosborne2908]

Love this! As another convert from a Prado to a V8 100 series, love your work Buckers!

[@alexrussoniello8004]

“Danmedowns” just discovered your channel, wish I found I earlier. Lovin the videos mate, the cooking the camping everything.

[@markkershaw3875]

Danmedown, wonderful vid and great comparison to see that only frills have changed over the past 18 years.

[@matthopkins6286]

Danmedown, thanks for the great content and I love your recipes. 🍻

[@nickeagle8347]

Danmedown…really enjoy watching your episodes over here in NZ can’t wait for next week.

[@andreghouse9192]

There is no greater gift than the gift of giving. Well Done Harry!!

[@tammyirvin7100]

Loved this vid thanks again Harry!! “Danmedowns” WHOOHOO

[@The1958GMan]

Danmedowns, just like hand me downs I get it✔️ now I’m rethinking my whole getting into camping budget. cheers for the video

[@martinlazenby4191]

Good on you mate, fulfil your purpose in life ,you will receive it back ten fold ! Thanks for caring mate.Danmedowns.

[@paulmcmanus8856]

Danmedown, great vid and a great friendship you two have. I have a similar friend, Graeme, here in the UK. We grew up together in South Africa.

[@jakesmith792]

Danmedowns - keep up the ripper job you’re doing, very unique channel, love it 👍🏼

[@rachelannlowe1]

Danmedowns - just started watching your vids and subscribed due to the great watch. Now playing catch-up watching your past vids!

[@brendancory5549]

Dammedowns, this was a great comparison in setups. It is what works for you I have Prado 👍🏻 and cheap Chinese camper, but it does what we want so it perfect. Keep it up love the videos.

[@andyknighton5836]

Danmedowns! Great to be able to look after mates. Same with us, our hand downs go to those who don’t have when we can.

[@alexmyers6002]

“danmedown” loved the ep harry, such a big fan of your setup but goes to show, the budget option still holds up to the modern technologies, great comparison mate

[@greg174videos]

“Danmedowns” It’s great when mates and their families can spend quality time in the bush together. That’s what life is all about. And it really doesn’t matter how you travel, as long as it works for you. Keep up the great work and have many more adventures together.

[@deepshallows]

Danmedowns Good vid. Helpful comparison and hilarious mate! 🤙🏼

[@smokesignals_5424]

Danmedown Your mate seems cool af you should definitely do more videos with him. Or even bring him on board with the channel and employ him 🍻🍻

[@anthony.grisan]

Danmedown was the best. Helping one another out to get out with friends and family along with showcasing that no matter what you have memories can be made

[@conellisgreatadventure8864]

Who doesn’t love a good danmedown. Very generous Harry, I’ve got so much to write but not the time. Awesome video, simplicity is the key. I opted rather then buying a new 50k camper trailer to buying a second hand Aussie built Tambo Camper Trailer - Omeo. Solid as a brick shit house and it’s taken is some serious places.

[@NorthOz]

“Danmedown” reminds me of my mate Alex. He no joke will buy a $300 “Holden Colorado” decal for his Ute before he spends a cent on his camping setup. Esky runs out of ice, “Can I put my cheese in your fridge”. Phone runs out of battery “can I charge up?”. I should build him a 12v system because he definitely won’t 😂

[@dominic19901]

"Danmedowns" for an unempolyed bearded man who likes to spend his time in the bush with his dog, you really have the life, helping mates is really bute and being able to not hold back on the banter is fantastic.

[@boojovi2296]

Danmedowns,cool run down on the camp setups fellas 👌🏻👍🏻🍻

[@pl6175]

Mate its great to watch your cooking.. Even better to see you sharing your goodies and giving back! DANMEDOWNS

[@michellemanton434]

Danmedowns. Thanks for another good video. Laughed along with you at all the best bud snips at each other 🤣
