Great vid mate, love to see the kids getting out and about. Did the same trip a few years ago, many memories for me thanks.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@adventurous_au9102]

Stephan, love the video and I have only reached the 48 seconds mark. It's so good to see your daughter out there with you. No, Ill continue to watch.

[@shaddonaghue]

Really awesome 😎, great to see your daughter getting involved. The madigan is on my list , thanks for sharing.

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thanks 👍

[@chinoyhouse8247]

Hi Stephan, always loved your videos! Can you show some maintenance and servicing tips/items for your vehicle after your amazing trips? Would love to see what are your maintenance items. Thanks and safe happy off-roading!

[@AlloffroadAu]

To be honest, I have a trusted mechanic, and it goes in there after every trip with another check-up before every trip. Oil changes every 5k. Service items are replaced as required.

The happiest man.. 👍🏻

[@robertarmbruster5650]

Thanks for another great video, we always enjoy them because you are very experienced at this caper. Screws coming loose is a big issue on corrugations, hence the use of medium strength (blue) loctite. Congratulations Summer, you are doing a great job, it is good to see you out and about with your Dad learning all the tricks of travelling in remote Australia.

[@michaelnugara1]

Thanks again Stephan for yet another enjoyable vid. Summer is a terrific addition to your travels and she is proving to be very good at filming. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Mick

[@AlloffroadAu]

Many thanks Mick!

[@defendermodsandtravels]

This is the best channel for outback trips IMO. Not much competition now that Brett Lewis has gone into early retirement. You seem to have 3 whip aerials mounted on the front of thr vehicle. What are they all for? Minor grumble - the audio quality is variable. I always carry a little Olympus digital sound recorder which provides an emergency back up when the main sound track fails. I have managed to rescue some priceless video clips which would have been lost otherwise. It's also great for recording background sound effects which get used sooner or later.

[@AlloffroadAu]

thanks for the compliment, yes you are correct, I tried to improve in car sound but that backfired external mic picked up vibration, now changed to a Rode video mic for in-car which is way better given the noise. I do carry a Zoom H1 and yes also sometimes do bg sounds, started last trip again and should do it more often. One man show so hard trying to balance everything. 2 UHF aerials and one aerial for celfigo booster.

[@defendermodsandtravels]

@@AlloffroadAu Yes there's a lot to think about when you must plan your trip and film the videos too esp. if you have to do it all yourself. For me the trip comes first so most of them don't get filmed.

[@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674]

Man I agree with them Lights...u need to use Loctite maybe 243 or263...tc

[@AlloffroadAu]

Yea I think the only reason they came loose was because the lights made contact with the bullbar on corrugations as they were a little too large the 7" now fit perfect and also have a washer.

[@andrewmorgan4306]

Great video again pitty about the grubs on the madigan .

[@AlloffroadAu]

Tell me about it

[@robdotcom71]

I'm loving the series Stefan....

[@robdotcom71]

It's good to see something like Andando Station left untouched.....

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thanks a ton!

[@OverlandUnknown]

I might have missed the time of year you did this trip? Great video. Cheers, Grant.

[@AlloffroadAu]

This one was in July

[@TheDavidCollett]

Great stuff Stefan!

[@guyharding2298]

Such an awesome trip! Wondering too if you have played at all with Gaia?

[@AlloffroadAu]

Yes I have, looked at it recently again and did a review some time ago. Has many good things but you still cant download Australia wide maps so thats still a no go for me. I also find many of the maps very dull and with little contrast hard to read while driving.

[@HammerRocks]

On top of adding spring washers for nuts & bolts, it's always best to use loctite (and the likes) with them. This is a good reminder for me to bring spare nuts and bolts with my spares.👍 BTW, is petrol readily available from the same places where you can find diesel on the Oodnadatta track? PS. Summer is doing a terrific job and looks like the makings of a great chef.👌

[@AlloffroadAu]

thanks for the suggestion a weak lock tight would have solved issue as well, on all my tripes even 1800km corrugation on the Canning never had light bolts coming loose but I guess there is a first for everything. Yes Summer did thoroughly enjoy the trip which is great to see in a society where digital devices become more important than anything else. Yes Petrol usually is available same as diesel. After events like the big bash it’s not unusual that some run out of fuel for a day or two.

[@unproadventures4142]

Great stuff 👌👍

[@AlloffroadAu]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jasonoregan3661]

Absolutely awsome again than you for sharing..... Just a quick question do yoj know if you are allowed to use a metal detector among the ruins?

[@AlloffroadAu]

not sure mate but I would think so

[@MrWaccoFozzy]

Great video as always. The flies didn't seem to be too bad, may I ask how long ago this trip was taken?

[@AlloffroadAu]

July this year, no flies just came back today again and millions of flies

[@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674]

Hey...what's the aerials connected to?

[@AlloffroadAu]

two GME UHF’s and a CelFiGo Booster but that is a waist of money

You didn’t mention your travelling companions/support vehicle?

[@AlloffroadAu]

its mentioned in Flinder Series as this is the continuation and Steve gives a run down on his Cruiser in a later episode.
