SIMPSON DESERT ADVENTURE - DEBRIEF / WRAP UP - KTM 690 ENDURO

Hi guys, I wanted to do a quick debrief video on our adventure however it turns out a little longer then I planned.
In this video we talk bikes, the route, my nav device and look at some gear that was on this adventure.
I drop some info on next year's epic adventure also. This one is going to be big.
Now that this adventure series is done, I want to thank all you viewers for your support and comments.
As always, ride safe and see you on the trails.
Craig

[@Nerb1]

Nerb1 Awesome ride . Dunno how you fitted your massive balls between the seat and tank. Lol

[@supermotosteve3752]

Nerb1 when are you and Craig going to combine your videos. That would make a good series.

[@wobblysauce]

That it was...

Thank you Craig for the great adventure series of the Simpson desert 🌵 It’s sad to see it goes, but as you said, there is more adventures to come and I’m looking forward to watch it. You did a nice job with that video and I learned a lot from you and about Australia 🇦🇺 Stay safe and ride safe 👍🏽 Cheers mate

[@Shadower75]

Thanks heaps Shai, yes this adventure is done but you are right there will be another one just around the corner. You ride safe mate and have a good one.

[@tanamite4452]

Craig a big call out to you and the boys for your recent Simmo vids, really enjoyed them. I'm getting back into dirt bike touring after a long time away and have found youtubers like yourselves to be an important way to learn about the best bikes, setups, fuel usage, gear, routes, as well as just great entertainment, so again, thankyou for that. I'm currently planning my first foray out to the desert in 2020 (2 riders with 4wd support). Keep up the good work!

[@Shadower75]

Hey tanamite44, I'm stoked my videos have helped you get back into the adventure scene. If there are any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Your 2020 desert adventure sounds great, I wonder where you are going? Good luck with the planning and have a good one. Cheers

[@strokenumber3]

Fabulous trip, fabulous video. Main point I see is you are a great group of riders together.

[@Shadower75]

Thats what makes it so special hey, they mates you go with. Cheers and have a good one.

[@motogspot]

Nice wrap up Craig, really enjoyed this whole adventure, good to see all the gear you were using, good to see all about the hema app and very detailed, can’t wait for the next one buddy 😀👍

Glad you liked it motogspot. Always nice to know fellow riders are enjoying it.

[@frankmorris2603]

Top video Craig. An excellent guide for potential desert riders.

[@Shadower75]

Good on you Robert. Thats exactly what I'm trying to do. Give others an idea, some knowledge just like others did for me.

[@frankmorris2603]

Stored for future reference. It's gonna happen !

Awesome adventure Craig and great series thanks Fella. I felt for you picking up bikes in the desert but it all looked worth it. Stay safe, cheers Roey

Thanks for watching and the comments Roey. Helping out each other is all part of the adventure. Have a good one now.

[@demzunoplayer]

Terrific rundown.

[@Shadower75]

Thanks Dav

[@AdventureOnStore]

Great series mate. Great effort. We all know how demanding is trying to ride and create great footage. 👊

[@Shadower75]

Demanding but worth it mate. Cheers again

[@ianlevy8765]

Another excellent presentation, thanks! From a Honda AT riding South African who lives in the Bahamas and spends 4 weeks a year in SA and Namibia.

[@Shadower75]

Cheers Ian. Sounds like you are living the dream there mate. Love it.

[@darrenstebbings6934]

Thanks Craig - a fantastic series of videos crossing the Simpson. Well done. I don't ride - just a 4WD fella who has crossed the Simpson previously. I have provided support to a couple of bike mates along Googs Track (watched that video also), and we hope to go to Finke in 2021 and across the Simpson on the way home. Your videos have given me great insight into the challenges they will face and a much better understanding of the fun they will have. Great work mate - I look forward to your next adventure.

[@Shadower75]

Hey Darren, thanks for the comments mate. I really appreciate the feedback. There's nothing better than the outback of Australia. We are very lucky here.

[@russelljones5131]

Great video....planning a long ride in South Africa and Namibia...690 for sure...thanks

[@Shadower75]

Hey Russell, now there's somewhere I would love to ride, SA and Namibia. Hope the planning is going well.

[@lajjvo]

Really high quality footage, well done and good job on the crossing! Greetings from Sweden.

[@Shadower75]

Hi lajjvo, thanks heaps for your comments mate. Hopefully all is well in Sweden. Cheers

[@ericquitt]

Craig, Just finished watching your vids of this simpson trip. Watched from the prep all the way through... Mate just wanted to thankyou for the awesome info. As you know there are lots of u tube vids but most have very little useful information. I can honestly say this series was excellent. I am a long time enduro rider ( living in Melbourne gives us access to the Vic High country... which I think is some of the best riding ) but I have enjoyed desert riding for many years ( Northern Vic / Sa ). I have just picked up a KTM 640 adventure bike so all the info you set out was great, as we have a Simspon trip in Mind... Great work on the videos... I know there would have many many hours collating and editing involved... Thanks again for the excellent info... Stay safe and see you out there.... THANKS RIC .

[@Shadower75]

Hi Eric, thanks heaps for the comments mate. Im stoked that the content was liked and fellow riders have enjoyed it. I agree on the Victorian High country, absolutely awesome. I plan to do a adventure ride through there soon. KTM 640 is a classic adventure bike mate with a great reputation. Good luck on your adventures mate and yes, stay safe and see you out there. Cheers

[@andrewheadland50]

Can't wait for the next adventure, also to see tom with his new 790 👍

[@Shadower75]

Cheers mate. That 790 is certainly a nice bike.

[@jimordway1774]

Thanks Criag for taking the time to put this series together. What an EPIC adventure! Too bad Mark's bike crapped out on him. You guys really covered a lot of various trail surfaces.

[@Shadower75]

Hey Jim, thanks for the comments mate. Certainly worth the time and effort when others are enjoying the series. Cheers.

[@cliffgunter6336]

Fabulous video. I live in US and have ridden the Continental Divide Route twice-good but nothing like the Simpson crossing, down into Mexico’s Copper Canyon and related routes. I have a 2014 690 Enduro R and very much like your prep video. Keep up the great work.

[@Shadower75]

Hey Cliff, thanks for the comments mate. Im stoked you liked the vids. I'd love to one day get over to the states and ride there.

[@Errol.C-nz]

a close report on the other bikes... LIKE tire wear etc... was a big lost opportunity... comparisons of the fuel consumptions... my hat off to your team a huge effort AND... all still good mates after 👌🤔. My neighbour did a simpson crossing solo on his DR650 & reported using 42 liters so it must be a magic number... excellent vlogging thanks for the entertainment, cheers from NZ

[@Shadower75]

Hey Errol, not really a big lost opportunity. The others live over a 1000's kms away from me so makes it hard to see their bikes etc and I did touch on fuel consumption during the vids. Anyway, thanks for watching mate and sounds like your neighbour did similar fuel use to me. Cheers again and hope all is well in NZ mate.

[@jonlauder7815]

I was going to ask about the maps you used as it happens! Haha. I too have been wondering the difference between them. Great series, looking forward to the next one.

[@Shadower75]

Hey Jon, appreciate your support mate. Next adventure isn't too far away.

[@mountainconstructions]

A tyre that went 10,000ks, never in my 32 years of dirt bike riding have i ever heard of life like that... Not even 1/10th that amount That was the BEST Hema Map usage and review on all of KZbin!!! Cheers

[@tonyrdr7207]

Welcome back mate great breakdown very detailed very thorough and helpful On the point of hema app I am also a fan couple of points that you and others might find useful The cheaper hema app does not have all the maps and If I am not mistaken now does but is subscription based You are probably lucky you got it on a stand alone phone they have recently abandoned it and run it on the Memory-Map app by the looks of it and in the process the update wiped nearly all my markers and trails the some maps now look different. To add insult to injury the latest update seems to interfere with the it reading gpx files where before it would just read it straight off the app Still like it and will keep using it and it has done a great job for a lot of years Thanks for taking us with you on your adventure very entertaining

[@Shadower75]

Hey Tony, glad you like the wrap-up mate. I didn't know that about Hema maps. I'm glad I got mine years ago now. Lucky there are plenty of other map style apps out there now to use as it is on the pricey side. Thanks again mate and have good one.

[@tonyrdr7207]

I did not mind the price so much it was a good product If you thought that was pricey try paying an extra 50 a year for the hema explorer subscription 🤔have a good one mate can’t wait to see what you come up with next

Great stuff! You make me leave some of what I never use :) How about spare tubes/airpump?

[@Shadower75]

Hey Knut, thanks for the comments mate. I did carry a spare tube and pump. They are stored under the seat. I should have mentioned it in the video. It stays on the bike all the time maybe that's why I forgot to mention it. Good pick up mate.

[@markdaniels5891]

Wow I just finished dinner and poured myself a glass of tequila, we drink that on the west coast of California since we are just north of Baja, so there I am surfing the KZbin and get the notifications of the recap, woohoo, more Shadower 75, yes, after following all of the series, Yes. Okay great recap, but ya left out the different cameras and how you used them, I’m not a video KZbin guy but would like to learn. So Craig ya need to do part #2 with an update please. Gear choice I have the Sungpack tent that you use good piece of kit IMO. OH by the way,the jacket was designed with the rear pocket so you don’t loose your remove-able sleeves, ie Goobs tracks haha. How much water did you carry? Yes I’m planning a Australian ADV ride hopefully in the next year, would seriously like to hook up. If you don’t mind I would like to send my contact info to you. Cheers 🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Shadower75]

Hey Mark, again mate thanks for the support. I was going to mention the cameras etc however it would have blown the video out too much so I plan to do a stand alone video on that. Hahahahah thanks for the tip on the jacket pocket. I could have done with that on the Googs track. I only carried 5L with me for most of the ride as we had a water source most of the time however across the Simpson Desert I carried 12L. Not a problem on the details mate, love to try and help out on your Aussie Adv.

[@sergiowild3944]

Well done mate thanks for sharing. How about water? Safe travels maybe one day might cross paths.

[@bigdan2080]

Was just going to ask the same, how and where on the bike did you cart your water?

[@Shadower75]

Hey Sergio and bigdan2080, thanks for the comments guys. Sorry lads I probably overlooked the water point during the debrief vid. I did touch on it in my preparation video and during the series though. I carried a 3L camel pack for drinking for all of the trip. I had another 2 x 1L bottles of the back of the pannier bags. I used them for drinking and cooking. Across the desert I added a additional 7L. Totaling 12L for the crossing. This was divided up between some in my backpack and some into the panniers. Cheers guys.
