    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...

    Cancelled The 2021 Aussie Iconic Tracks Expedition (Pt.3)

    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...

    Trip plan help

    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...

    Overland truck hire

    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 .

    To Snorkel or not to Snorkel

    .... 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

    To Snorkel or not to Snorkel

    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...

    To Snorkel or not to Snorkel

    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...

    Aloha from the 808State

    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 :-)
