G'day Simon. I noticed a quick glimpse of the portable water filtration case in your video that I had dropped off to you and Liz (we all stayed at the Subscribers Hipcamp at Hervey Bay a little while ago) as requested by 'Bob' from The Thirsty Nomad. How well did it work? Having had a quick look at the system when I Bob dropped it off at my place and reading through the instructions that came with it, I think I know the answer to that but I'm keen to hear your thoughts. Before seeing Bob's device, I was thinking of making a similar portable water filtration system myself using my Bluetti (AC200Max) to power the pump. The device I was thinking of building would only work for filtering freshwater from a river or creek and definitely not saltwater unlike your desal system and I most likely wouldn't drink the water unless I absolutely had to (would still boil and sterilise it if so).

Hey! Yeah, it's pretty good. It works well. We haven't tested the water scientifically at all but we're happy with it's performance.

Looking very chill guys. How good is it to be able to step out of your home and straight into the reef 🪸 I mean - does not get better than that 🤙🏼

Looks awesome there! Just wondering though is the de sal system in the van not working?
@TheLifestylePioneers6 ай бұрын
It's working but not really practical to make enough water for two families for 2 weeks. We kept the de-sal water for drinking and the ground water for everything else.

Do Bec and Wade have a KZbin channel? I was looking for "Our beautiful chaos". Would love to follow some of your camper friends if they have channels 😁

They are on instagram (@ourbeautifulkaos) but they don't do KZbin.

What an awesome Video and camp spot too! Are the wetsuits and rashies for the stingers or more sun protection? I imagine the water temp is perfect 🤙🏻
@TheLifestylePioneers6 ай бұрын
Thanks so much. Yeah, the wetsuits were for the stingers as there'd been Irukandji in the area. Bonus is sun protections as well.

What was that water pump and case setup. Custom or a ready made kit?
@TheLifestylePioneers6 ай бұрын
It's a ready made kit, but they don't make them anymore.

Enjoyed your latest video. Just please note that it is not good practice to clip the front seat belt to avoid the sensor going off and not wear the belt correctly especially when you are sending this video out in the public domain. Seat belts save lives and it could save yours.☹

Another KZbinr who thinks seat belts are not needed offroad. It must be a W.A. thing cause a lot more over there are doing now.
