Can't wait for you to get on the road! Great content coming for sure!!

[@sambulli]

Always love your videos bro. Excellent set-up and you know how to keep us interested. Love the advice also.

[@sandrewadventures]

Great tips thanks!

[@cleemensassmannshausen8354]

Great, would love to see a video about tools and most important spares for the 70 series to take withe me on the big tour

[@kyannicholls8243]

Thats would be to long

[@kimberlyfish4820]

Thanks!! Agree with your top ten. 11 and 12 Maybe include a paper map of the areas and the contact numbers. Eg police, ses, ambo, station owner/farmer. Also maybe any mining companies in the area. Never know where the Exploration team could be or reach quickly. Well done and have fun on your travels!!

[@jeepnutscotty]

Mate if you find yourself in a blast zone, you’ve clearly gone past a lot of huge warning signs and locked gates to get there and deserve it

[@stevegraham3817]

And don't rely on the Mines Rescue Team, yes they may help you in extreme circumstances, but it means closing down the Mine because they will no longer have emergency cover.

[@gregpolynatsammy3614]

Great video, all the best for your trip.

[@tonywilson5295]

Awesome tips. I would just add take a Telstra and an Optus Phone. We did a lap in 2019 and a lot of remote inland towns were Optus towns.

[@castawayfishing3626]

you are a legend keep the good work up

[@samschneider7415]

"I never go into the outback without a decent supply of water, and the general rule for how much you'll need is three litres per day, per person, per man, per degree over 25 degrees celcius, per kilometre if walking on foot, in the winter months dividing it by two, plus... another litre... at the end" (IYKYK)

[@WildTouring]

Classic Coight!

[@jamesgroom1132]

Love the videos! Air compressor. I suppose yours in built into the vehicle so easy to forget. Essential for sand driving.

[@phillipcooper8995]

Great vid mate, all awsome tips. I would also suggest a sat phone or sat sleeve to go on your mobile phone. I do a lot of hiking and fishing remote area's in Cape York and I always take a sat phone and a PLB that way I know I'm covered. Love your vids and can't wait to see more.

[@garymatthews7363]

All good ideas & equipment. Also consider a battery jump starter pack ? Small but handy & you can even take in your boat bag for charging your mobile phone etc.

[@michaelwilcox9559]

Probably fly nets and dessert dweller to keep out the insects they can ruin a trip. Love your content by far the best off-road you tube channel going keep up the great work can’t wait to see you guys in west Aus

[@wesnind7118]

great video mate, keen to see the big pack.

[@peterstaunton-smith586]

Excellent information there,my only suggestion is a shovel is a must and i also had a safety bag for my boat which had all the gear you do plus a couple of tins of food as backup. lovin the adventures and info keep up the great work.

[@theexplorelife]

Great ideas!

[@JSH083]

I run an ICOM UHF, one good feature is that you can boost power up to 25w from the standard 5w & in an emergency you can at least get your signal sent further if needed 👍

[@franklowe3798]

Good work

[@Adrian-pi4zu]

Epirb definitely is NOT overkill. That device will literally save your life. Lets hope you never use it but if something happens you will wish you had one. Awesome vid this one. This will help alot of people. 🤙

[@natepoi1216]

Great insight into some of the essential items brother!

[@danielcraker5105]

Great video., Personally a would recommend a sat phone over cel-fi unit. Inmarsat are a good option for sat phones

[@garyhankinson5695]

Daniel Craker there is one brand now that takes an Australian SIM card. So people that have unlimited calls (like most of us) can ring you and no extra charge

[@JasonParkers]

@@garyhankinson5695 what's the brand?

[@garyhankinson5695]

Jason Parker it’s the Thuraya XT-Lite. Alloffroad 4X4 Adventures TV does a review on it on youtube

[@JasonParkers]

@@garyhankinson5695 sweet thanks

[@christofferbersau6929]

Yoyo whats the camping chair to the right in the thumb nail? Looks sweet

[@roamingnurses8785]

For couples, you could go with different providers, I have telstra and misso has Optus. We've noticed that she has reception more often than me when we go remote.

[@mickmay6569]

Yep..hes wrong..dont think he's gone outside of qld much..Kimberly optus only.

[@MrMarners]

For mobiles, I would dispute going with telstra. We had a Telstra and Optus phone on our recent trip across and up the centre from Sydney. Optus had greater coverage up the Centre so would suggest having both - ie get a cheap Optus monthly plan if you are on Telstra.

[@djwmoto]

Garmin InReach for both on the motorbike or in the 4WD. Better than the SPOT units.

[@kingazza12311]

I agree with you on that. I’m getting one for my setup

[@HammerRocks]

I have that exact GME PLB you have on this video. It'll need the battery replaced every 5-6years. And only GME can replace them. I just had mine replaced. It's not cheap but it's not as expensive as buying another GME PLB.

[@marioflack9453]

Great top 10. No sat phone ? Epirb can be reg to both your car and boat just swap it over as you go

[@theexplorelife]

the spot unit is essentially our sat phone

[@downthetrackaustralia]

Always remember to tow around a Triton in case you need to start a signal fire

[@rfurto]

"Ford Ranger, Mazda BT-50 recalled over fire hazard"

[@deadpool3636]

Telstra in the number 1 coverage provider.. hands down.

[@PerthSnaps]

Just letting you know that Optus now has the same amount of coverage as Telstra. (you may have no Telstra reception but might have 2-3 bars of optus of 3G. Vice versa as well)

[@fraserson1]

Completely false

[@PerthSnaps]

@@fraserson1 My friends have telstra and I have optus. When I have been up north I have had no reception in some areas and they have had bars. Then they have had 0 bars and I have had enough bars to call, scroll socials, watch youtube, plan around weather etc. it really depends where you are.

[@nathanraasch]

@@PerthSnaps so how does that mean they have the same coverage lol, literally contradicted yourself

[@PerthSnaps]

@@nathanraasch same amount not the same coverage.

[@vespercarlsen7206]

How do the fire stick work to put a fire out

[@timdurrant5905]

Just have extinguishers accessible and easy to get to quickly. Don’t tuck them away somewhere

[@garymolony8880]

Simple thing that nobody thinks about. Seatbelt cutter and glass breaker tool. Ya dont need it until ya do and it will save ya life. Scary being in a car on its roof under water i can tell ya. Have a great trip

[@theexplorelife]

good call mate!

[@paultoohey9044]

We found that Telstra was not everywhere... instead we have both Telstra and Optus who cover the Oodnadatta Track Innaminicka etc which Telstra did not

[@theexplorelife]

good info mate, I'll keep that in mind

[@Australian_Outdoor_man]

🍺🍺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

[@davidvoss1508]

If you can still get mobile phone coverage, you aren't remote. That said, we are 30k from Parliament House in Canberra and can't get Telstra. They claim to cover 90% of the population but that's only 10% of the land mass.
