    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Cheers! It was a work in progress and pretty much evolved daily, a couple of sketchy moments involving cutting twice and measuring once. Won't get to put them to the test until June though, when we cross the Simpson Desert on the Madigan Line on the way to the Finke Desert Race...

    The Best Tent Ever, Maybe?

    Hey Mark, been using them forever here in Aus and wouldn't have it any other way. As you pointed out, it is so convenient to have everything in one bed role so that all you have to do is throw it on the ground and set it up. Build a fire, grab a cold one and settle in for the night it's just...

    Overlanding with the pups

    We take our dogs camping with us, the younger one knows not to leave the campsite, the older one just doesn't care. On arrival we just set the boundaries by telling her to "wait" at points within the campsite, to her the wait command means sit and stay. This doesn't mean that we don't need to be...

    which is your favorite method of going to the restroom when over landing?

    Like they say... if you don't eat you don't shit, if you don't shit you die! If we go away in the camper then we have a cassette toilet, when I go away on my own then its a shovel. Dig a deep hole, make a deposit, burn the paper when you've finished and then backfill the hole. Just plain and...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Thanks Grubworm, I wasn't sure if they would work efficiently with the 54v batteries but it's definitely a cheaper option than the inverter. Stay safe and build those memories mate.

    Overland Hound

    Australian Cattle Dog? My first dog was a Blue Heeler; loyal, intelligent, independent, fearless, destructive, mischievous, and headstrong. She came everywhere with me too, it was back in the 80's when rules around dogs were a little more relaxed. She'd come surfing with me on the weekends. I go...

    Overland Hound

    So sad, hardest thing I ever did was send my old mate over the rainbow, told her if she ran quickly she could probably catch up to Grandma. Looks like she had a good life though, all the best.

    How Far off the grid is average for most?

    For me it's all about off grid, after all it's what these cars are made for! I'm not into driving up and down something just to say I did it, there has to be a destination and a goal. Having said that ........ if it's between me and where I want to go then I'll have a crack. Best remote trip...
