[@CaTe-hg4sl]

Great as always, on the other hand, only the pigs bury or leave the garbage in the wild! That's what my mother taught me when I was a kid.

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Awesome footage and well presented for anyone wanting to do this trip. Cheers.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Many thanks!

[@MrBennyweb]

Thanks for sharing! A unique and very informative perspective, looking forward to part 2.

[@AlloffroadAu]

thanks mate

[@rlhydn3438]

Terrific video. Captured all the reasons why I love the desert, even the damn flies 😄

[@AlloffroadAu]

lol yes as earlier you go as more flies... Desert was very green again but this time we did not see any water

[@dugiesallaustralian4x4outb91]

Another great video Stefan. Nice work. I am planning to get the team out there to record a Dugies All Australian 4x4 Outback Offroad 4WD Adventure in the Simpson. On the 2020 schedule at this stage. Keep them coming.

[@OutdoorjournalIn]

Great video, well done. Makes us want to go back and see it all again and more in-depth. Cheers!

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes well worth to spend some time in the desert, so much to see if you know what to look for :-)

[@wjsj69]

Most enjoyable to watch your vids! Thx!

[@AlloffroadAu]

thanks a lot

[@NISMO-OFFROAD]

enjoyed it mate well done

[@shaddonaghue]

Awesome mate, thanks for sharing

[@AlloffroadAu]

Pleasure mate

[@bikerooter]

Nice video mate. Did you read the visitor book at Geo. I was there on a bike in 2013. No car and no tracks like you were following. Seems pretty popular now. Plenty of exploration tracks to west but not so many on the east.

[@shanebaker2195]

Great episode. Thank you.

[@johndiaz7240]

Thanks, you guys

[@roblennon2355]

good follow Drone footage counts for a lot. Can you tell me what the wheels you used for the Nitto Trail Grabber MT tyres are, and do they have bolt on edges to stop them popping off at low pressure, or would that not happen on the standard vehicle wheel.

[@AlloffroadAu]

steel king rims, you can do that with most rims just need to avoid sudden directional changes, have never run a tyre of the bead in all my beach and desert driving

[@hardliquor4x493]

about as remote as you could get by the looks of it look forward to the rest of the series . Stefan what brand of jerry cans would you recommend for carrying fuel?

[@AlloffroadAu]

yes mate, the first time in my 4wd career where I was a bit concerned and crossed my fingers that nothing else goes wrong...

[@johndiaz7240]

You gentleman must have total confidence in your gear and trucks .

[@michaelnugara1]

Thanks for the vids. We will be doing a Simpson trip in June and the vids have been very helpful. One question if I may? Did you use your awning much? I wonder whether I should take mine at all? I have a 270 degree XtMax awning which is heavy so I was thinking that if you did use your awning I might just take one of my old side awnings which is very light. Cheers Mick

[@AlloffroadAu]

that is a good question, in all my Desert trips I have used the awning maybe 3 or 4 times. Unless it looks like rain I don’t use it in the night as there usually is little due during tue day it depends if you need shade I usually look for natural shade for lunch etc. But that depends on flies often have to eat in car anyway.

[@michaelnugara1]

@@AlloffroadAu Did you take the drifta 270 degree awning? Much appreciated and I am definitely not looking forward to the flies. Thanks for your info Stefan. Mick

[@mountainconstructions]

I like your bit on Tyre Pressure, 14.5 psi, why not 15? They increase 4 to 5 psi from cold to hot anyway? Do you really notice the difference in 0.5 psi?

[@AlloffroadAu]

Lol no just ended up at 14.5 would have also been happy with 14 or 15

[@robskelly64]

Hi Stephan, Really enjoy all your videos and the camera work is exceptional. In regard to this trip you mentioned tyre pressures of 13.5 rear and 14.5 front, what sort of speed were you driving at then ? Cheers and look forward to part 2 and many more videos.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thank you mate, Anywhere between 5 and 50 kmph as long as it’s on loose surface no issue. Obviously no hard turns :-)

[@asd67lkj]

No Landy....thought I had the wrong group for a while....LOL

[@AlloffroadAu]

No Landrover for touring anymore but still as play truck

[@asd67lkj]

Thanks, Stephan. I went back a couple of episodes and bought myself up to date....

[@blackmantiskungfu]

Thank you for this video. It is brilliant! We'll be doing this next year.

[@AdelaidedronePhotography]

Leaving gerry cans with or without water or fuel is standard practice across the Simpson. Also, how did you go about obtaining a permit to fly the drone in the National Park and aboriginal lands? What is the process?

[@AlloffroadAu]

standard practice, you got to be kidding given the number of people who now travel the major lines it would soon look like our oceans.... Google NT Drone Permission you can apply for a permit as I did.

[@AdelaidedronePhotography]

not kidding. I've been across numerous times and also with professional tour operators and it's quite normal. motorbikes typically cannot carry enough fuel to get across so they arrange a drop off and leave the gerry cans. others will pick them up if needed or wanted. it's been going on for years and doesn't look like an ocean :)

[@ruanmuller3577]

I don't understand, so many flies. What do they live off?

[@AlloffroadAu]

lol I asked myself that many times, as even in the most remote parts you have around 1 minute when jumping out of the car till they are on to you. Plenty of Camels etc around though.

[@fipsicola]

sehr schön...

[@ClausWeiss73]

Was ist ein "Pazific-Radler"? Wie managt ihr die Wasserfrage ? Liter/Tag , wie viel Reserve oder gibt es Quellen?

[@AlloffroadAu]

Nee gibt kein Wasser dort, Ich komme mit 3-3.5l am Tag aus wenn Ich fahre. I have aber 80l Wasser mit mir für dehn Notfall

[@AlloffroadAu]

Pacific ist die Firma ist ein “Deutsches” Radler Bier

[@ClausWeiss73]

Und wie bleibt das Wasser frisch? Wir holen uns oft Quellwasser im Schwarzwald (unser Leitungswasser ist sehr kalkig) , aber nach 3-4 Tagen wird es trotz Kühlung muffig im Kanister. Oder nutzt Tabletten bzw Filter?

[@AlloffroadAu]

ist hier kein problem have Wasser im tank für Wochen ohne problem

[@julestrips4160]

Where did you enter to get to Geo Hill?

[@AlloffroadAu]

Have a map in Part 2 of the Video released next Friday

[@jasonarmitage1434]

great video are dogs allowed in the simpson

[@AlloffroadAu]

dogs are not allowed in the NP or regional Reserve meaning French, Rig, WAA WAA but Dan did not spend any time in this areas. The Dog is actually the original Red Dog from the movie :-) he does not stray more than 20m from the car and does not hunt.
