You two are such a pleasure to spend time with (even if it only YT. Always calm and polite to each other. a stress free viewing experience. Thanks for sharing

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thank you so much Peter for your very nice comment, that is great feedback to hear! Thank you for watching the channel :)

@juanitalegrady9804 Год назад

Hubby and I just recently did the Hay River Track and agree that the road north from Batton Hill is the single worst road we've ever driven on! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

@66pheonixpatrick76 Год назад

It was great you saw a camel 🐫, really glad you guy’s are having a ball.👍👍

@martysib6547 Год назад

I'm glad you won the fuel voucher guys, well deserved. Thanks Ange for all your running around getting those great shots. Chris, you're a trooper driving the Mog all day. Would be good to get Ange doing more of that driving so she gets more comfortable behind the wheel. Those corrugations looked like hell on earth. Take care. Marty from Perth

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thank you very much Marty! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the Simpson series :)

@wayne1959 Год назад

Congrats on conquering the mighty Simpson Guys. Its a bloody big country out there. In my day we delivered the accommodations and machinery to Plenty River mine at Jervois and man i can tell you the Plenty hwy used to be 200km of that very same stuff you found on the hay..2nd gear with the hand throttle set to 1200rpm for 10 or 12 hrs to get from the Alice Tennant road to the mine. It was kind of special to see you guys out there and it bought back some hard but awesome memories. I hope you guys take fond memories with you to pass on as well. Stay safe

@TomSilver_42 Год назад

Now you can call yourself, officially, a Desert Nomads 😜 Thanks for sharing stunning views. I love them.

@tonydownunder5703 Год назад

This is a great trip you both have done, I loved watching it 👍 Once again fantastic camera work 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 And to see the little lady in the drivers seat 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Well done you nail it 👍 Thanks for sharing 🇦🇺

@bugsy1254 Год назад

Loved watching. Chris, so nice to see you letting Ange speak freely. I follow a few travelling youtubers where the guys continually just talk over their partner. Great videos. Hope to do it one day.

@davidthornborough3395 Год назад

Great to see you finally came across a camel Chris also half a skull for a momento. Good to see you behind the wheel to Ange ,hope you do it more often.Great footage from you both even though you were on the Hay.Cant wait for the next video to see what your next adventure is

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thank you so much David as always! We are looking forward to sharing more of Central Australia with you :)

@denisbartell7501 Год назад

I made the first vehicle crossing of the Simpson Desert following Dr Cecil Madigan's camel route in a Suzuki LJ50 back in 1979. No tracks compass only a truly memorable 7 day crossing. Having now crossed the Simpson by vehicle well in excess of 70 times, walked it from west to east and also north to south without a backup vehicle, driven only by two feet and a heartbeat, and ridden across it by camel I sure do miss it all. At 89 my enjoyment of the outback now comes through videos such as yours. With great photography your journey was well presented and your love of adventure obvious. Thank you. DB

@andrefischer5025 Год назад

Bloody awesome drone footage, so glad you guys fixed it in time

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thanks a lot Andre! It was really enjoyable editing the drone footage, such awesome scenery :)

@MrLeo2A6 Год назад

Great vids guys, easy watching, informative and very well shot. A credit to you both

@9f676150z8xF Год назад

Loved the drone footage especially the early morning landscapes. That early light really brings out the colors and the contours of the dunes. That section between Batton Hill and Jervois Station was terrible in 2019 too - it had my Land Cruiser/Trayon rig dancing all over the place! Thanks for rewinding my memories of that trip.

@andrewgrant3470 Год назад

Congrats on doing the Simpson and also getting 1st for the mod challenge so glad you guys won well deserved.

Thanks a lot Vicky, so glad you enjoyed this one too!

@philphil6006 Год назад

Great trip to the top end. Loved watching the same vehicle I used to drive, live and work around in the same conditions in the top end. They will chew the juice a bit but if you keep the revs down by changing up a gear they will idle along nicely in the right gear. Corrigation is a bitch and the cabs get very hot in the top end. I used to pop the canopy hatch to allow airflow and used to pull an 8 tonne trailor with the mog and spent many hours with my foot on the hand throttle over taking road trains. Had a few blow outs on the trailor due to the heat and was scary pulling up a fully laden trailor pushing the mog around on the highway. Great trip loved watching.

@chipandrews2892 Год назад

Congrats on winning the competition for the competition for best military truck conversion!!! It was a PITA to figure out how to vote, but I finally got my vote in for you guys! Awesome drone footage at the beginning of this video...such beautiful country! Keep up the awesome videos of your adventures!! Cheers :-)

@FuManchu5ltr Год назад

I’ve been watching the series with the @AllTerrainAction guys in their Holden Commodres/ Adventras doing this same trip just a few weeks back. Such different experiences is totally different vehicles. Love watching the adventure.

@seanchristie7150 Год назад

Well done on the trip and the competition. The drone footage was awesome and how good to use as a scouting tool. Fantastic to see Angie behind the wheel. Those corrugations looked rather hectic. Well done on the competition win too

Congratulations and welcome to the Unimog club :) That sounds like a super versatile plan, all the best with it! Thank you for watching the channel 👍

@georgedrager-bluewaterdreamer Год назад

You guys have a great style about you always relaxing

@Tomdogful Год назад

Great viewing guys. Did the Hay River last year and can attest to that awful 76klm out (in our case ‘in’). We actually found the area very scenic between Dingo well and Batton Hill camp. Stopped a few times to walk the river bed with beautiful Ghost Gums on either bank. This year I reckon we were a week ahead of you on the Madigan. Shame I cannot get back to hunt the prize LOL.

@67katman Год назад

@JudgieRob0422 Год назад

Enjoy watching your videos, the track from Hay river to Jervos is the most corrugated track I ever been on

@JudgieRob0422 Год назад

The corrugations shook every fixture on my LDV we completed it in May this year, are you going to go to Chambers Piller, that is an awesome place to see

@kevinrichards8119 Год назад

Hi guys ,love the sound of the mog purring in the opening shot ...more of the mog please.Kind regards from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.perhaps one day you guys could put her to test in our beautiful welsh mountains 🏔!

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thank you so much Stephen for watching and commenting!

@jamest5149 Год назад

The problem with some rough bits of track is the ripples are set in a spacing and frequency that causes a resonance that means your vehicle tacks up a swing or sway all of its own to match… can make you sea sick or if high enough frequency can cause mechanical damage.

@steve2meter Год назад

I thought Ange was getting car sick in the last couple of minutes of track. Well done on the editing 😂

@surfing4theloveofit Год назад

Great video again 👏, that drone footage was beautiful so remote great to see you make it without drama 😀 well done hope the mog didn't have any problems and was the inside ok with all that rocking and rolling on those corrugations, 👍👍👍😊

@TheOutFit Год назад

Thanks so much, yep no damages fortunately!

@feelgoodfaster Год назад

Great content guys. Love it. Suggestion: that rocking side to side of your truck looks like you have to much weight up high in your camper. If you place everything heavy, down as low down to floor level as possible (or under floor in storage), and place as much weight as possible over/around the rear axle, it should make things less "car sick". I did this in a 4-tonne truck and it made a huge difference. Good luck.

@TheOutFit Год назад

Hey thanks for your comment. We made sure there is no weight up high on our build thankfully, just the truck is very tall so some rocking going over alternating ruts offroad is inevitable. Cheers

@ozzie273 Год назад

Srictly speaking, Australian camels are feral, not wild. That is to say, they live in the wild but are descended entirely from domesticated animals.

@petermiddo Год назад

Lucky buggers. I wanted to head home from Alice Springs to Brisbane via the HRT. Sadly, I did a tyre sidewall outside Birdsville and my other spare is much smaller than the tyres on the car..... its not the desert I'm worried about, it's the 200-odd kilometres from Birdsville to Windorah on the eastern side. We leave Alice Springs Tuesday 23 Aug. 7 days via Mt Isa.

@philg2468 Год назад

Loved your drone footage over the Hay River. But I didn't see any footage from Mt Winnecke or Lake Caroline or Goyders Pillar - maybe you need to go back and see these places. I love it out there and did the same trip as you in reverse last month - the last 100ks into Jervois has always been rough but about the same as most of the Anne Beadell Highway, or the Canning or the Gunbarrel, so if you plan on doing these tracks, might be worth lowering your pressures a fair bit more to smooth the ride in the Mog.

@juliofredericocomerlato5647 Год назад

In Brazil, these undulations on the road, we call 'Costela de Vaca' (cow rib). In the Jalapão region (Tocantins state) all roads have these cow rib's, something around 1000km.

@TheOutFit Год назад

That's insane! 1000 kms would take us days 😬

You guys should invest on a hand-held UHF radio (or two), for exactly the situation you had on this episode. Also handy if one of you would like to wonder slightly away from camp.

@TheOutFit Год назад

We have hand held and UHF, we just didn't need to use them on these instances.
