Our channel also features 4x4ing, fishing, camp cooking, and tips and tricks to caravan living easier! We'd love you to join us for the adventure!
Hi from New Zealand. Yes sometimes you have to pace your lives. I am enjoying your videos, It is interesting seeing your caravan renovations. We are shortly going to visit your great country. Have you got some highlights that we should do in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast. We are 57 only want to walk 10kms a day and we don't drink alcohol. Your reply is Important to me. Thanks for your reply Jono P
This is real life guys and I love your honesty 😊. I feel for you with the broken down vehicles 😭. It's important to take time out and thanks for the update 🙂
You are right to take time out to recharge yourselves. Your followers will happily watch your videos whenever published. Your health and family time are more important.
Number one rule in life ..look after yourself first and that's exactly what you have to do. Take if easy and chill a bit if you can we'll all be here when you're up to speed again 🤗
Ditto as per other comments. Whenever you can or if you cant, doesn't matter when you do catch-up's. We will all still be here. Family comes first and health is important. ❤
Gr8 Vid guys... I do remember seeing Erin in IGA... couldn't forget that blue hair... I get to enjoy these sunsets in Charleville everyday... and wow I didn't even know about the separator on the other side of the road from the rockpools... when we first came to Charleville 25 years ago that rockpool water was turquoise... You don't wanna know why it's brown... lol Safe traveling guys
Love watching your videos especially your caravan reno ones, however, your health and family must come first and if you don’t get a video out every week the world won’t end. Keep up the great work but always put yourselves first, take care.
Just do what you can do in your lives as you need to look after yourselves . We will continue watch and follow you no matter what . Take it easy and don’t be too hard on yourselves .
7:29 I started renovating a van years ago and gave up once I pulled the beds out. First time and I didn’t realise that they’re built from the inside out!! I’ve towed it up the paddock to wait till I figure out what I’m going to do. You guys are doing a great job and must be awesome to have that shed. Thanks.
Don't try & cram too much into your days guys. I've been there, done that, and after a complete burnout/ breakdown, it took some time to get over it. It's all about priorities & having an extended timeline written down. A timeline that's achievable without tight time constraints. I've only recently started following you, and like other folk, I want to keep following you. Love & look after each other. 😊
Just a thought but I enjoy watching videos of short random clips combined with voice overs. If you have footage that didn’t make it into other videos because it had bad audio or didn’t seem long enough or show enough detail etc like a behind the scenes or outtakes with some lighthearted commentary? I don’t know how much work it is to edit together something like this but it was just a thought. I imagine there would be a lot of extra footage that doesn’t make it into your usual videos? No pressure of course. Take care
Or perhaps even better/easier, selected clips from your past build videos with new commentary on what you would do differently now in hindsight or what you think of various products or techniques you used and how they performed or held up over time etc like an update. Don’t even listen to the old audio or worry if you are saying similar stuff to the original video. Just keep it lighthearted with your honest reactions to watching the old footage. I think it would be very entertaining and you have a couple of renos completed now and your trips. You could edit together parts of different videos from each of those series and make a new fresh video for each one? Again, just my thoughts, as the dad from that movie The Castle would say ‘he’s an ideas man!’
I hear you on being sick! It’s been a bad winter for my family and a lot of others I know. Seems to just be one cold after another… hope you have shaken it off for good now ❤
You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do guys your health and well being is the number one priority Bertha will still be there she’s not going anywhere till you finish her
No worries, guys. Take as long as you need to sort everything out. The most important thing is your health and family. RU-vid can wait. Try posting fortnightly for a while till you catch up.
Take care guys, we will be here to watch you when you are well rested enough to start up again 😊❤ we had a chuckle at the Laurel and Hardy insert😅😅 Lyn & Bob
Keep up the great work on the vids. but stay healthy and look after the family. even once every 2 weeks gives us an insight into your progress. Love the vids Keep them rolling.
Hi guys. I though of an idea after watching your last video. To solve the tunnel boot access problem, would you be able to attach the box you are adding without a back in it and also leave that section of the van opening up into the box? Seal both together as one large storage area. You can the make access to both through the front of the box. Don't put your gas cylinders in there though. Cheers Greg
My comment is like most of the comments I read, that we will enjoy what you put out in whatever timeframe it occurs. My mates and I tend to push life hard with work and projects, and a couple of them hit the wall big time in the last year and it is not pretty. Hats off to you both for admitting to yourselves that somethings have to slide at times to stay the course. All the best.
Thanks for sorting the audio. It's heaps better hearing you both through my one "good" ear. I love your channel and understand if you need to step back at times.
Now and again take a holiday from everything and recharge with family. Get some rest it will refocus you. Family time is number #1 thing. You only have the kids for 18yrs each so you have about 8yrs to go with them. Take a break, go have a date night.
The most important part is to enjoy yourself, be happy and stay healthy. You guys are great so don’t beat yourselves up and put unwanted pressure on yourselves. Hopefully we will see you at CFC 2025.
It is what it is, life gets busy. I had that flu also and that is by far the worst I have been in a long long time. If anyone gets concerned over you not putting a vid up one week really needs to get a life 😆, your van, your channel, your way...
