I have had mine for a few years but now only take it with me when I intend to base camp preferring my roof top tent when touring. It is a quality tent that will stand up to the harshest conditions and is so easy/quick to set up and take down. There' are no major issues with this tent and it...

Sure mate, is there anything specific you would like to know? These trips, especially the remote ones, take a fair bit of planning. So I have placed this event on our OB Event Board now in order to give people plenty of advanced notice. To give you a flavour of what’s involved some of the...

Woohoo I made it to another decade..... Have a fantastic New Year my OB friends, see you down the track

Planning has now started for the 2021 Aussie Iconic Tracks Expedition (Pt.3) - This massive trip will take us on some of the world's most challenging and remote 4WD tracks including: - Bourke to Birdsville via Cameron Corner, the iconic Outback landmark where Queensland, South Australia and New...

Currently I’m right here: Inskip Point.... all the way from Berowra NSW. Livin the dream

Will get there 22nd and stay for a week

I usually have a fridge running in the back tub and sometimes will run two fridges when touring with my better half. There plenty of info on how to set up either on the OB forums or with a bit of Google-foo but here’s mine.... I have two 120A dry-cell AGM battery’s under the hood. One is the...

G’day Nath, will be up your way again in just a couple of weeks. Me, the minister for war & finance and a couple of mates will be camped at Inskip for a week after a bit of a tour from Sydney via the Darling Downs. Maybe we’ll see you and some of our other OB mates up there Welcome to Overland...

Done - after much deliberation the final destination is......... Inskip Peninsula. Two day drive each way, four day beach camp, can take our dogs...even has a long drop - luxury

G’day OB fans, I have finally persuaded my missus to join me on my my next camping/road-trip (October). The only stipulation is that we only have 8 days (we’re based in Sydney) and we need dog friendly locations as we’ll be taking our two Springer Spaniels. Thinking either north and coastal or...

Interesting technique but hey you got across

Cheers buddy and thanks for taking the time to respond. the article was really useful but I think your last comment is looking a more likely option. Like last time we may end up hiring a truck and buying some cheap basic camp gear and just drop it of at a thrift store before heading home .

Hi folks, I’m an OB’r from down under and need some advice from my USA OB brothers & sisters. My wife and I did a road trip a few years ago around the southern states, hiring an SUV and buying some basic camping gear when we got there. It was great fun but we never really got off the main...

Have fun buddy

.... I use these dust covers for sections where there’s a fair bit of bull dust. 4x4 Pre-Cleaners They do a good job but be sure to limit use I.e. not designed for permanent use

Disagree with this comment - firstly it is essential that when fitting a snorkel it is properly sealed to prevent any water seeping in and secondly by default snorkels are not dust proof. If you find yourself in a convoy in dusty conditions just hang back a bit to minimise dust intake. Also if...

I’ve been overlanding nearly forty years, travel thousands of kilometres on dusty roads and cross deep water crossings that often comes over the hood. If engine performance matters you’ll get more bang for your bucks via tunes ups and even simple things like tyre type/pressures etc. If crossing...

Mine’s right here

G’day Mick

They’re certainly competitive of price. One of the ways they hit price points is by offering brand alternatives eg when they say ‘Anderson style’ they are not genuine Anderson sockets but they’re not dodgy Chinese knock-offs either :-)
