-7.8°C, nice. It's been over 20 years since I've gone camping in those sorts of temps. On those temps, I remember walking on grass sounded like walking on potato chips - very crunchy.

At 5m4s I was waiting for you to do the old “Man From Snowy River” move and take the old Patrol down the mountain side. LOL!! Brilliant video as usual Batesy. You are Australia’s greatest Ambassador for the High Country. That move down the mountain side would certainly have cemented your fame mate. 🤣

Hi Guys, I know Tim is not going to say it and he never does in any of his videos but I'll say it for him. Like and subscribe his channel and get other mates on board. Tim creates great content and he should have a lot more subscribers. Watch the full ads if you can instead of skipping they are not that long. I know I have planned a few trips on the back of his videos and I've had a great time. Let's get behind Tim.

If you are going to take your mate's out with you more may l suggest you upgrade to a bigger table. It was ok when it was just you but the table looked too smart for 2 grown men to be preparing and eating meals off it. Looking forward to your next journey once again. Jason.

She even watches your videos with me and thoughly enjoys them .Especially the way you take the time to answer your viewers.. heh time. Something you like ..baked beans ...I made them today as you cannot buy them here they import them in from Australia, cost an arm and a leg ..Mine turned out nearly the same as brought ones ..

At the end of the day, as long as it gets you both out in the bush, thats the go. Car prices are through the roof all right, crazy prices. You cant buy baked beans mate, thats no good at all.

G'day mate, I did explain why and it sure works really well on cold mornings. Yeah we don't get -30 I've seen first hand, diesel motors not start the next day after exposure to an icy cold night, and those nights are no where near the cold temps you mention.
