4x4 Camping adventure in South West Australia - Jeep Gladiator Around Australia

[@GATORADDAM]

So sad to see Katie go. That said, 95 percent of my adventures are alone. I love the solitude. Great to see some good offroading and epic campspots. Another excellent video.

Good to see you here in our neck of the woods. The South West is best.

[@svleoc1201]

Thanks for putting together another great video. I really hope you get time to visit the coastline around Esperance before you leave WA

[@KOTW.Adventures]

What a great episode! Thanks Dan.

Was just thru Whitehorse last week. Was looking for your jeep. Downtown Whitehorse pulling a cargo trailer Was an adventure of its own. Lol

Great episode Dan! The color of the ocean is amazing! Enjoying the off road footage. Your trip is coming to the final stretch and we’re still waiting for a boomerang lesson !🪃🪃🪃🪃

[@TheRoadChoseMe]

Haha, thanks! I'm certainly not the person to give a boomerang lesson - I have no idea how to make them come back!

[@calsurflance5598]

@@TheRoadChoseMe Haha! Actually I could show you how to throw one! 🪃🪃lol I can’t believe you have been there nearly a year. This has been a great series!👍

Really great video as usual 👍😍 you are doing well and these videos are really helpful… you are doing great job and your effeorts are admirable. waiting for next video… i always like to watch videos like this one, because I think I should Learn everything about tourism and creativity I can, anytime I can, from anyone I can - there will always come a time when I will be grateful I did, And this video will definitely be a good contribution from you, 😍 thanks for the great content… waiting for next

It's good you eventually let down your tyres. I'm sure the people who'll drive on those tracks after you guys, will appreciate it. Not letting tyres down is a quick way to ruin & damage what is otherwise a nice driveable track.

[@theangrypickleadventures1368]

Absolutely loved the episode!

[@TheRoadChoseMe]

Thanks! - I'm changing up a few things here and there, still really enjoying showing off this stunning country!

[@brearlymason4903]

Love your videos. I keep trying to watch that arrogant Australian 4xoverland guy. He’s so full of it.

[@yorkchris10]

Did you try to make the Jeep float? If you spend too much time on the truck, maybe you'll get left.

[@nickward8887]

Sweet

[@peterhaan9068]

Gotta say it, IMHO the only way to go is a roof top tent!

[@TheRoadChoseMe]

I'll never have an RTT. Too much weight up too high, bad for fuel mileage, too much canvas in the rain, etc. etc.

1 jar of 4 Cheese Alfredo Sauce. 1 tin of baby clams, drained, reserve nectar. 1 tin/pouch of premium Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil. Red Pepper flakes. Oregano, S&P, 3-4 cloves garlic fine mince. Red pepper diced, green onion chopped to taste on both. Orecchiette pasta (small shells work too). Saute onion, pepper, red pepper flakes in olive oil from tuna. Add tuna and break up, add clams. Add oregano and garlic. Heat through, add Alfredo sauce, heat through. Add clam nectar if needed to thin sauce. We simply mix the pasta into the sauce but you could ladle the sauce over the pasta too. Both the red pepper and the green onions will last a good long time without refrigeration so this is often one of our "last" meals" before heading back in to civilization. Oh, it is called The Ears of Charlie Twofish. The pasta look like little ears, the Charlie part will be recalled by older folks, the Twofish is ...clams and tuna. And it is delicious, comes from my repertoire of hiding stuff so our kids would eat stuff other than wieners and chicken bits.

Not exactly related to the video but I was just scrolling through craigslist and this company had a picture of your Africa jeep in a shipping container as their ad picture for shipping containers. I was like wait I that's Dan's jeep haha.

[@TheRoadChoseMe]

I have no idea why, they have decided to use that photo - it looks great! haha

[@skovac83]

@@TheRoadChoseMe yeah it does haha

[@robertvoss9111]

Hey Dan, I remember you saying somewhere "the perfect vehicle all depends on where you're going". With that in mind, do you think the gladiator like you built it here would be a good vehicle for Africa? What would you change on it?

[@TheRoadChoseMe]

I'm actually filming and editing "review / lessons learned / overall thoughts" videos now about the Gladiator and all the systems. Stay tuned!

[@tomkelly3896]

Nice✌

[@marcn5733]

Great seeing you out in your JT, Dan. Did you make the canopy yourself, or were you able to buy it?? Safe travels.

[@TheRoadChoseMe]

It was made by a canvas company in Melbourne.

[@Apbt-rv7zw]

You don't really say where your locations are other than South Western Oz. I guess you have your reasons. Sharing is caring.

[@TheRoadChoseMe]

I was sworn to secrecy on this one.. not my secret spot to share!

[@perth4b4adventures]

Your not actually aloud to camp at West Cape Howe they are lookouts 👍

[@rufuslagrange7751]

And as for campfires on the coast that’s a big no too. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer Dan. I’m still a fan though. Just passing on some advice to help keep our tracks open. Also it’s best to air down before you need it because it helps keep the tracks in good shape. Going low and slow was good to see

[@Redneck_Wizard]

Wow the Australian government is beyond tyrannical.

[@jamesparlane9289]

I hope you got a great big diamond on Katies finger before she left.
