Still loving the reruns of the show. 🥰

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you 🙏 it’s so good for us to look back at these videos too and a good reminder that anyone can do this 🤩💙🇦🇺

[@889group]

Great tips folks thanks for sharing…

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Cheers Dean 😊

[@janiceatkinson5112]

Some good tips in this one. We travel with a Sat phone in addition to our mobile phones as well as a UHF radio.There are many Sat phone plans available go choose from. It gives you peace of mind and it does not matter what location you are in you have the confidence and peace of mind you can call anyone at at anytime. Our Cel-fi extender has proved invaluable as well.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thanks Janice! I’ll check the sat phone plans out - I’ve just installed a cel fi booster and testing that this week 😊👍

[@tonypucheta354]

[@mikaylakemp3872]

hey guys james and mikayla here cant believe we have only just come across your channel after you have done so many episodes love it dont change what you do the way you present what you do is awesome very inspiring thankyou

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi guys, thank you 💙😊 are you planning a trip or already on the road? Take care of each other and dream BIG! x

[@lynschostakowski8819]

Great tips there. And also the little shadow I see in the van. Jasper.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Haha! Yes - he had to make a cameo 😂👍

[@gastonarguello2951]

Great tips, first aid course is a must especially when you travel. We have three Aid kits, one in car, another in the caravan and lastly in our backpack for activities, such as bike riding or hiking. Another tip we are doing after the experience in the Outback is everybody has to have a jumper in the car all the time, because depending on where you are in the afternoon can get quite chilly. Cheers

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hey Gaston! Great tip 👍 how are you guys going? We will head north toward Townsville in next few weeks... stay in touch!

[@gastonarguello2951]

Hey Paul, we arrived yesterday at Atherton Tablelands from Paronella Park. Townsville was beautiful we stayed 8 days there and 3 days at Magnetic Island. The island is awesome.

[@rudivn1]

Awesome channel guys. Watching from South Africa. Keep it up and loving the adventures!

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi guys, that’s awesome thank you! Hope all is well in South Africa and love having you on the adventures with us 👍

[@grantrothwell8479]

Love your videos guys, its nice to see a quality caravanning program that is not product/advertising heavy. Another communications "add on" you may wish to consider is HF radio, its is not only for the communications, but the community is fantastic as well, and you can send location updates for friends family at the touch of a button

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Great advice Grant! I will look into this as an option in the next couple of weeks - I’m catching up with a mate in Byfield who has suggested the same 👍😊 cheers Paul

[@markjones8704]

Nice one guys, I recently picked up a PLB from snowy’s I got the KTI SA2GN just under $270, battery has a 10yr warranty, which was the longest warranty I found and even Australian made😀

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

That is great Mark and thanks for sharing an Aussie product with us - I’ll check it out! Cheers, Paul

[@archygrey9093]

@6:06 From my experience road cars even smaller ones are actually more comfortable on rougher corrugated roads.

[@philcaruana7152]

Thanks guys.Another informative video.Keep up the good work

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thank you Phil 😊

[@zacandmillie]

The sunsets are amazing. I worked in Mt Isa in 92 just after the Mt Pinatubo volcano erupted in 91 and the atmospheric ash made the sunsets even more amazing. Also might I suggest a vehicle mounted UHF with a 5 to 8 dBi antenna instead of the small handheld ones as they have more power and better range. We are looking forward to travelling again around this Great BIG State of ours.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thanks for the UHF tip! I’m looking into it and will do a segment in an upcoming ep. good luck with getting back on the road and hope to see you along the way! Cheers Paul

[@damarihenrik7285]

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!

[@beniciocolby4549]

@Damari Henrik Instablaster =)

[@damarihenrik7285]

@Benicio Colby i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@damarihenrik7285]

@Benicio Colby It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass :D

[@SoaringEagleGaming]

awsome video , just brought myself a ute and a caravan and I also have a iridium satellite phone on a telstra plan so that will save not having signal anywhere (it also has a GEOS button you can press that will dispatch emergency services* really love your series

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hey Damien! That is awesome and safe travels, hope to see you on the road somewhere - I’ll check out the sat phone as an option 👍

[@Wildernessadventuresoz]

Love watching your videos. Great advice especially UHF radio a real life saver in dead spots

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thanks as always for your wonderful support 😊

[@DieselDave]

Whilst everything you said was important, I don't think too many people are aware of the 'leave a gap to the car in front of you if you aren't going to overtake' rule. So many times, even on my big motorcycle I wonder why people are almost tailgating the car in front and not taking the overly abundant space presented to overtake. They effectively halt the progression of traffic in regions. More of a problem in popular places like SEQ for instance. Great vid Fam. Thanks. DD

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Cheers DD, agree with you and safe travels 👍😊

[@gerdacoonan7250]

Another great episode, very positive. In the communication area, there are Sat Sleeves available that convert your iPhone into a sat phone, great idea if you're going to be remote, and worried about it, worthy of consideration. Thanks again for your efforts and sharing, Cheers, and take care.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Thanks BigKev! I’ll definitely check out the sleeves too 👍 hope you are wonderful! Cheers

[@AdventuringPals]

Thank you Joanne 😊👍

[@darylneit8318]

Just fantastic

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Good Morning Daryl! Looks like your catching up on all the Episodes 😊👍 happy Sunday to you guys Cheers, Paul, Katie & Jasper

[@simonarmstrong517]

We are with the other telco( starts with O) and lost reception after Dubbo, and we had no reception til we got to Broken Hill till we left. Another couple we were with are with the major telco (T) and they had reception pretty much all the time

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hey Simon, I’ve just installed a mobile booster and will feature that in next weeks episode - let you know how it goes when I test it this week! Cheers

[@archygrey9093]

Being with Telstra is almost essential for outback travelling

[@gregpaterno1446]

Hello family love your videos I see your tow vehicle is a hilux I don’t know how big the van is can you please tell me how the hilux goes with the van power wise thank you,say hi to your little legend jasper 👌🏼you can see him in the back round in the van 😂

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi Greg, it made us laugh when I was editing and Jasper kept appearing in the doorway 🤣 the Hilux hasn’t missed a beat and we love it! The new models have an engine upgrade which delivers more power - we have felt it copes well however we would like a bigger vehicle as our van is just under 3t fully loaded 😊👍

[@shaungibbard6474]

Great information thanks again 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Cheers Shaun! 😊👍

[@glenod]

Sat phone. and locator beacon. learn and teach all that need to know how to use it, just how to use it. Ive done 2 major trips and always had sat phone reception, in the middle of bumfuck no where as well. As for a long range tank, id not leave home without my 270 litres of diesel in my 200 series with my van on. good luck on the learning curve as you travel along, youll work out what suits you.

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Cheers Gleno! Looking at it all over the next few weeks and really appreciate the recommendation!

[@tomscott7013]

Great video, what's your fuel economy towing the van?

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

Hi Tom, I haven’t checked with the new van but have a travel day today and will do... it was 14.5L/100km last I tested. Cheers Paul

[@bigg490]

Driving outback without high beam is stupid. Between dusk & dawn IS nightime!

[@ambertmparker4225]

Whats the name of the packing app

[@TheFeelGoodFamily]

It’s called ‘Packing List’ - I got it in apple App Store - there are quite a few others too 😊👍
