THIS Is Why We Built An OFFROAD Camper For Europe

[@craigquinn7887]

Beautiful scenery and the Volvo just looks amazing & totally in it's element 👍👍

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you so much Craig! We are very happy with our vehicle choice :)

[@RB_2Y]

What a wonderful sight, this Volvo TGB in its proper element, the forest. You must be so proud of what you have accomplished and built. A beauty for the eye. No wonder all the cyclists stopped to take pictures of it. Happy continuation of your European trip, drive carefully, the last fool is not born yet. Greetings from your follower and friend in Sweden.😍😍😊😉👍💪💪

That’s an awesome rig you’ve built there. Very capable. Thanks for identifying WWII monuments. My father was a soldier with the Polish / British forces on the front lines in Italy in WWII. Reminded me of him and the sacrifices many made at the time. Keep up the great work.

Brilliant video, highly enjoyable to watch with many aspects of Overlanding covered. Spain is incredible for Overlanding opportunities, tracks everywhere.

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the video. Cannot wait for Spain 😊

Hey guys. Been following you since the beginning of the bowser build. I'm also a Kiwi. I spent over 13 years living in London and now reside in Aussie. 7 Years here now. And I must say the best present I got was the snake bite kit that you talked about. I worked on a farm for a few years and constantly came face to face with brown, tiger and red belly back snakes just to name a few. I kept that kit on my belt whenever I left a vehicle. Its still in my wagon ready to go if I decide to head out for a walk or hunt. Great piece of gear to carry for everyday stuff.

[@VintageWanderer]

Awesome video! Very nice to see you guys on the move. My Grandfather was a Sherman tank commander in US 3rd Armor division! Cheers.

So good guys! Well done for getting through your third build! Looks mad! And so good to see you guys back on the road, I like my little Outfit fix!

[@NK-dl2nc]

Volvo is a handsome beast. Great trip you are having. I love the history. I went to the ardennes back in the summer on the bike. I didn't get to see the tanks unfortunately. They are on my list for next time. There is also a Tiger 1 in France I would love to see. I struggle with time as I have long covid which limits my riding hours, meaning trips have to be longer. If you are around Germany in the summer you should go to the big overland event at Bad Kissengen.

[@davidthornborough3395]

Fantastic vid you guys .Enjoyed every bit including the war history .some great forest trips ,shame about the rain but hey Oakley enjoys puddles and mud ha ha .Take it easy on the fingers Chris .The 6 wheeler seems highly capable .probably better than the mog .stay safe and continue to enjoy.looking forward to the next vid .

Chris, Ange and Oakley, enjoying the journey with you. Little Man 🧍‍♂️ has discovered mud, what a treat. Chris, I’m sure you’ve already thought of this, but a winch would be a nice addition to the rig. Anyways, looking forward to the next posting. Lou👍🇺🇸

[@lud5495]

you guys ROCK!!!! 💪

[@GTScaleModelling]

It’s really cool to see Chris indulging in his passion for history. I’d love to get to visit the Ardennes and other famous WW2 spots. I did manage to get around a number of WW1 cemeteries in Belgium and France where I have relatives buried from WW1. Skadi looks to be in her element.

[@Te_mitchelldude]

Loved the Ardennes footage, very cool Ang! Wow Chris, from NZ to the site of the Battle of the Bulge. So cool to experience, thanks for the commentary on the different sites/tanks etc. I'm a big Band of Brothers fan here in NZ so to see what relics of that specific campaign are still there is amazing. By the way the Volvo looked the part parked next the Tiger!

[@KevIsOffGrid]

MTB trail builder here - MASSIVE Silky fan. Usually have a F180 in my pocket, and a Zubat (300mm) for general use, but also a Sugoi (360mm) for the big jobs. Take a little time getting used to a pull-only saw but then they are so fast. Watch your fingers! First blood eh..

[@TheOutFit]

Ha I laughed when the Silky arrived with a bunch of branded bandages.....now I know why 🤣 I just bought some leather gloves for next time. I like the look of the Silky Bigboy - that would have given me some more sawing range

[@johngibson3837]

Hey kev silky are wonderful but they definitely don't take prisoners

[@garethraven3933]

Awesome to see all that work paying off , Volvo going so well doing what it was made for.

[@assarstromblad3280]

Are you thinking of putting a winch on the volvo? I have seen quite a few in sweden that has it, to be able to pull themselves out when they are stuck for example. Would look cool too! Great video as always.

[@TheOutFit]

Not at this stage but maybe before shipping to North America. Thanks a lor for watching :)

great video guys, some of those roads are narrow

[@rhyswilliams695]

Spain has many beautiful spots and more off road tracks. You won’t need to look far. The Sierra Nevada is awesome. One town I’ll never forget is Alcalá del Júcar. A local tunnelled into the cliff (behind his house) and built an amazing bar / museum etc. Cuenca is also worth seeing. Short hop to Morocco too 😉

[@TheOutFit]

We can't wait :) Thanks for the recommendations, we'll add them to the list.

[@Werkar27]

Great to see you guys on the road. All the tanks reminded me of the movie "Fury", might have to give it a watch again. Cheers.

Soooooo sick. Love tanks. What these guys did on both sides with engineering was impressive

Watch Out in Belgium going off-road is everywhere forbidden and there are expensive fines!!! better go to France have a nice trip thanks

[@TheOutFit]

@@johannesjonker-gi8ci This is clearly a path for vehicles, we aren't creating new tracks or going off the track. Thanks for watching :)

[@fraserwright9482]

All I will say on the subject is that there has already been a German Overlander fined in Scandinavia when they went off-road and posted on insta. Be aware that people view what you are doing as a destructive pastime using a 6x6 military truck thru a path and then sawing trees to get thru not exactly the shining example of "leave only footprints, take only memories" treading lightly on the environment. The tree may have been put there to stop vehicles and you don't really know what is going on locally in terms of habitat or uses. The Atacama Desert has been damaged by overlanders and this gun ho attitude that it's no one's property is why no one likes Freedom camping and why people have to make their RVs or 4x4s stealthy because of this type of attitude

[@michaelellert4982]

​@@fraserwright9482clearing a fallen tree on an already cut trail isn't being destructive. It's doing the right thing and helping others out along the way.

[@fraserwright9482]

​@@michaelellert4982"Roads between fields are private. Roads through forests, with trees on both sides are illegal to drive unless you are a farmer getting access" so it's not public. One of the ways to stop access to motoX, Quads, Polaris is to put a tree across the path as they aren't strong enough to pull it away. You think it's a good thing, other people may not be on your side. I like the truck and they are nice people, but I wouldn't condone this simply because they are bubbly people.

[@geraldreynolds9650]

You need the following: Work Gloves.Chainsaw.If you fit a winch then you also need a Snatchblock to enable angledpulls or to double the pulling power of the winch.but overall quite enjoyable video to watch.And informative about the Battle Of The Bulge.Stay safe and have a good trip.

[@davemangle6448]

We still talk about “the war”. Everyone know what we are talking about, but it happened over 80 years go. Nearly none of us were even born then. It to be “so fresh” in the collective memory, means that it was such an upheaval in history.

[@greg.ocallaghan]

If you're heading to Spain: make sure to hit the deserts of Bardenas (near Zaragoza) and Gorafe and Tabernas (Andalucia).

[@P6009D]

When driving on large rocks, do not grip the steering wheel with your fingers on the inside. The steering wheels can knock your finger off if the wheel is turned quickly by a large rock. If you drive over narrow tree trunks, do not drive 90 degrees over them because they can get stuck between the rear wheels. Otherwise, you will be surprised that the Terrain car 13 can make its way through forests you don't think is possible to drive in.

[@johngibson3837]

Never have thumbs in side the steering wheel it will break them, I think after power steering not so much a problem but I wouldn't risk it

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic episode, so great to see Skädi in 6wd. Just need an electric chainsaw and somewhere to store firewood. Can I suggest that Ange and you keep well away when using the kinetic rope, in case of failure in recoil, also use it at full length instead of halved.

Bonjour a tous Je vous suis depuis le début de la fabrication du Volvo, vous avez fait un super boulot.

Bon voyage, profitez bien

[@andicog]

When you think that on the standard Tiger, each track pin has needle roller bearings that need greasing... In Russia the grease froze, they also needed slimmer tracks fitting for rail transport.... keep it simple to maintain and build, like the T34 and Sherman. The German armour was over engineered in a way.

[@johngibson3837]

Sounds a bit like unimogs mate

[@RogerBengtsson75]

You will find fallen trees all over Europe when off roading or using logging roads, this little 8 inch blade chainsaw from Ryobi you can find in many hardware stores and it's big enough to cut most trees with a tad of patience and it also makes cutting firewood a breeze. It's the PSBCW01 - 18V ONE+ HP COMPACT BRUSHLESS 8" PRUNING CHAINSAW (Can't link URL)

[@thedetroiters]

Where to camp in Spain? I would head south to the mountains and parks around Murcia. Explore from Valencia to Gibraltar. Cordoba, Granada, Seville, Malaga and all the coastal villages are beautiful and will make great content. There is a custom made google map called "Acampada libre en España", which has some specific camp spots identified - that's a good start. There are also facebook groups and reddit threads with some good, up to date information. Can't wait to see where you adventure!

The King Tiger, like all other Ger man tanks at that days, had petrol engines ! Maybach HL 230 ! It was on purpose because of different structural problems and resource constraints before and during the war. Originally it was designed as an airplane engine as far as I know.
