    Thanks for the tour of your rear setup in Camden last week, impressive to say the least. I meant to ask, where does one source that ceiling cargo net?

    Bf Goodrich AT/ K02's or Goodyear Duratracks

    I have used the Duratracs on my LandCruiser for a few years, first set was 3ply sidewalls and made in America, no punctures, had about 70,000km range. Great grip on and offroad (sand, rock, gravel, mud) Second set are unfortunately only 2ply and made in Asia. No punctures thus far though and...

    SnoMaster vs National Luna comparison

    I've had the National Luna 50L Weekender (fridge with separate freezer) for a few years. I opted for the aluminium finish (at the time it was $200 cheaper than the polished SS version) and bought the transit cover. Has been running constantly, runs at home as a secondary fridge. The only...

    Ground, Cot or Air Mattress: Make and model please.

    I am currently using the Thermarest Basecamp mat, after a few attempts at other brands and thickness this one seems a good compromise between function and storage size. Might also be happier as we are storing them open and unrolled at home which means their inflation performance has been great...

    Coffee Set Ups

    Have tried a GSI Expresso maker, was ok but leaky and a lot of effort for an expresso. Toured with a double walled steel french press and ground coffee several times but hated how much water was needed to clean it up, great for filling the Kanteen for the drive ahead though. Toured with coffee...

    Overland Hound

    Jake, your Churchill reminds me of my Border Collie, O-Ren. She was never keen on me swimming without her but was nervous about the waves and one time I went into the surf and she decided I wasn't coming out she ran 'home' a few kilometres to our holiday house and dragged my Mum down to the...

    Bf Goodrich AT/ K02's or Goodyear Duratracks

    Have used Duratracs since 2013, no punctures or issues of any kind. Even with my 2nd set reduced to only 2ply and Chinese fabrication. Faultless grip on and off road. Think i got about 95,000km out of the first set. Although for the next set I am considering something heavier as my overlanding...
