Simpson's is amazing, I crossed nearly 50 years ago pre Max Tracks and snap straps, pre any kind of rescue .............. Great to see it has barely changed........................including the flies lol

@andrefischer5025 Год назад

Watching how much you enjoy the Simmo and the Mog - priceless

I think that's mogo, Andreo.

The plough is a bore drain Delver. For the flowing bores so the water could run around the property.

Another great vid . The Bowser is doing it with ease , glad you are enjoying the Simpson crossing and you can fullfill one of your bucket list adventures. Cant wait for the next episode.

@TheBasementChannel Год назад

What a great adventure! Thanks for sharing with us.

@trickster8635 Год назад

Your gearshifts will be smoother, less wear and tear on syncro hubs, if you double clutch the shift. Notice how long it takes to engage the next gear when you shift up? That is because the syncro mechanism has to slow the next gear hub down to allow the shift. Double pedal the clutch will half the wear, smooth and speed up the change. Camp 17 is much nicer, amongst the Gidgee trees. You will find a couple of challenging dunes between camp 17 and 16!

@davidmunday8820 Год назад

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. We crossed Madigan line from West to East (Mt Dare to Birdsville) in early June and like you it's been on my bucket list of things to do. Awesome adventure. Look forward to next episode!

@UnimogAdventures Год назад

Another great video, glad you fixed the drone, some great shots in the morning light.

@henrygreen19 Год назад

A good one ! Quite frankly 95% of the time the Mog's time is wasted - however it is just a pleasure watching it "work" the 5% you call on it. Then it really becomes a very much stand alone overlander. Awesome. Enjoy and waiting for the rest of the Simpson.

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thanks a lot Mark! That sounds like an epic adventure on bikes. We didn't see any rubbish (except some toilet paper at one of the camp) so we were pretty happy with that! Thanks a lot for watching :)

Nice to see the everlasting daisies. Might be a few sturts desert pea around if there is some moisture. The other reason we wear wide brimmed hats is because it gives the fly veil some room to work.

@tonyf7997 Год назад

We are planning next year but west to east on less travelled tracks.. the old mog is a heavy beast but slow and steady!

@theguruone Год назад

My son cross the Simpson both ways last year on a motorbike. Also went to some very remote locations. Whilst they had unimog and 4wd backup they were hours behind each day.

@michaeldallimore8590 Год назад

The Mog is a beast. The only other vehicle I have ever seen crawl up those dunes was a Land Rover Defender and you must be something like 5 times the weight. Love the videos.

@Motumatai3 Год назад

More like 2.5 times the weight. I have owned both. Both great machines.

You guys are so talented with your film work. Thankyou. Do you think its possible to cross the Simpson with dogs?

@rickhall7180 Год назад

G’day…,one of the Conditions of Entry says that dogs aren’t allowed in most of South Australia’s parks and reserves… please check with the appropriate authorities before embarking on a crossing. All the best 👍

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thank you so much Omar for your kind comment! Dogs wouldn't be allowed in Munga-Thirri National park which the Madigan Line crosses (QLD).

@masafajunior Год назад

Angie should also drive that unimog😀

@petermiddo Год назад

It was actually quite firm when we went across 3 weeks ago. I have seen it softer and more cut up. But great job in Bowser! (I was "only" driving Brutus, my 2015 GU Patrol.)

@petermiddo Год назад

BTW, the Simpson Crossing we did 2 weeks ago has been on my bucket list for 38 years..... it was an amazing adventure crossing East to West along the French Line all the way to the Erabena Track, when we went down to the WAA Line. But still an amazing journey.

@stevens8744 Год назад

I must say i had a good laugh at the tiny sand flag dwarfed by the Mog!

@vickyloveday88 Год назад

Thank you Ang and Chris, one of your best yet. Great to be ticking off one of your bucket list wishes Chris, have you seen The Grand Tour, when they went to Mongolia? Really worth a watch, fantastic place. What was the white sand you drove over please, was it morning frost? Hugs from the UK. Take care both. 🤗🌈

It’s called a clay pan. Basically a small salt lake.

I've been in the desert of Sahara in North Center on Africa in a country called Libya right the center of the desert. Its quite hot in the day time and in the evening it go's down to negative temperatures....Cheers enjoy it as I had too at that time too.

@grant209 Год назад

I think your orange flag need to be about a meter longer lol . . . the Simpson is such an awesome place. We did it back in 2012 but we went West to East - Mt Dare to Birdsville. Nights got down to 0°c and into the mid 20°c's during the day. Our second day in it started to rain, the clay pans became lakes and we did a couple 5klm division drives around a couple of them . . . 3 days to cross became 5 days to get across . . . but all the desert flowers started coming out on our 4th day . . . such a amazing sight . . .

@TheOutFit Год назад

The flag was at the minimum of 3.5 metres from the ground. Seeing wildflowers in the desert was a really nice suprise!

Hi Guys, Long time subscriber Loving all the content You guys capture the scenery etc, really well Question - How often does Ange drive Bowser ? Have not seen any of her driving for a looong time. I remember Ange doing a bit of learning to drive Bowser ages ago. Obviously this skill is needed if Chris gets injured etc Would be good to c content with Ange driving Her perspective of doing this, and what it’s like would be great. Just a thought. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thank you so much Stephen for following along for such a long time! I actually drove a little section on the Hay River track, it will be in an episode coming soon :) I should definitely practice more often but I don't particularly enjoy driving so it's hard sometimes to force myself!

No way! Shame we missed you! We are finishing editing the last video and it's safe to say we were relieved when those 76kms of corrugations ended - they were the worst we've ever seen!

@@TheOutFit I knew there was 1 more vehicle coming behind me for the season. Luckily I was in my 79 and already unloaded everything. So when they came around it was just a simple slow snatch.

@@mikehollydennis1879 It would probably make things much harder. We bought our Mog from a private seller at AUD $28.5k but most people buy their Mogs from the Australian Frontline Machinery auctions - prices have definitely increased recently. Maybe contact Dan & Kristina from Roam Overland Vehicles, they are in the USA and imported a Mog from Europe. Best of luck!
