Regarding keeping dust out of your van, we use that clear plastic school book covering to do all the larger vents. Cheap & easy to use. We cover both fridge vents too and never had a problem. Just buy a few rolls at the cheapy discount shops.

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

That's a good tip Steve 🤙

15:00 you didn't want to use a snatch block on your winch? Great points in this video, no bullshit. Cheers!

@noproblem2big337 5 лет назад

Great tips, I have a hydronic heater off the HWS and that also works well in a insulated van...also people running their AC with the generator please no gen around other campers, silence is bliss!

Cheers Jacob! You're going to have a blast!!! 3 dogs is going to be challenging but fun, theres nothing like hanging with your 4 legged friends.

I'm a bit late getting to this vid but some fantastic tips! We bought a Fith Wheel late last year before the whole Corona thing set in so its sitting in our front yard on the Goldie while we wait for tbings to get back to normal. We watch your videos a lot and Kurt is the reason i now own a Torque Wrench!! Hope you are back on your travels soon and keep making these aewsome videos guys.

@Sparkysontheloose 4 года назад

Haha love it, cheers Wayne. Hopefully the borders don't shut for too much longer. Lots of people itching to support the towns in-between cities.

Fishing change your spot every day. Croc work out routine.

@IWillNotBeLabelled 5 лет назад

The spot you change to could be the spot left by someone else the day before. The crocs don't restart the count because you weren't there before....

Nice work dudes.

@MiniLuv-1984 5 лет назад

Bloody magnificent vid guys, very useful lessons for us. Go on Ames, admit you were wrong and Kurt was right about the heater...I want my wife to hear it! I want to hear it! The bloopers was a blast too. Keep up the great work.

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Haha Cheers Benny!

@stuartkcalvin 5 лет назад

Great piece guys. Solar - like you, I'm a firm believer that you can't have too much solar; but you can have too much battery. The 10% rule is pretty good - 10% solar to battery - so I have 360W roof top solar for 375Ah of Lithium (two fridges, lights, camera batteries and so on). Battery - I've shifted from AGM to Lithium; expensive - yes. Benefits? They take up Amps far quicker than AGMs, can go to 90% DoD and survice for many more cycles, and can be stored between 60-80% DoD - in my case this is a 30 min, 15A charge once a week. Crocs - If brevity is the soul of wit, then I'll keep this brief; from my research and experience - 1) crocs in an ocean beach: they are generally transiting from one river mouth to another, for various reasons. 2) crocs resting on an ocean beach: they are generally crocs who are tired from a long transit, or are younger or older males who have been kicked out from their river space, and don't know what the transit distance actually is. Cheers, Stu

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Yes we are very tempted to jump onto the Lithium batteries, a lot more pros then cons. The story that amz mentioned was right next to a small creek mouth so that could be a reason they were hanging around. Cheers Stu

@RoryandCasey 5 лет назад

Hey Guys, Check out the Atoto A6 headunit. Fits in the Nav and is android based so it has google maps. Would fit your bill on having a big screen you can both look at for maps

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Interesting, will have to check it out in person to see if its fast enough. The new Samsung tablet is a beast! and can be portable to show maps to other people.

@Dorko85 5 лет назад

A good off-road camper with a dust suppression system = zero dust Ours is flawless even in bulldust

@phillipjohnryan7074 5 лет назад

Hi guys... great info as usual. Yep stay away from widow makers. You did speak about camera, phones and Drones etc.. Can you advise the editing software that you use. Oh yeah just got the Gopro 7 Black as you recommended. Phillip

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Nice one Phil! A great all rounded camera. We use Adobe Premiere Pro but it costs a bit of money. The GoPro editing app I've heard is pretty easy to use. Cheers

@RustyCandyAdventures 5 лет назад

Keep your old sockets and fill them up and use them as a seal.

@RustyCandyAdventures 5 лет назад

Learn how your gas stove works. There a small screw in thermostat knob that works the pilot light.

Sorry just found your review of the DJI Mavic Pro. Cheers

@fionamorrison7530 5 лет назад

Some great tips - thank you! Would love some tips on what you do with Rusty when you want to go to all those places where dogs aren't allowed (this is our biggest concern about our forthcoming trip)! Thanks.

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Hey Fiona, have you seen this podcast yet? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wrL-mWB8yi8.html plus we have heaps of info on our website www.sparkysontheloose.com.au

@captainfrank01 5 лет назад

Middle River KI - lovely spot - you should have fished for bream and mulloway right where you were, that spot produces regularly, especialy at dusk and dawn (and no crocs!) Marron are better upstream in the really fresh water.

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Cheers Frank, We were tempted to camp up at middle river but the weather was really hit and miss. We didn't have much success on the marron front.

@captainfrank01 5 лет назад

@@Sparkysontheloose No, the water there is too brackish for them. Western River would have been more productive!

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Bugger! Good reason to come back and do it again! :D

@overlandingomar 4 года назад

Great video. was wondering if you could do a Lessons Learn't with regards to taking Dusty? I have a lab & Retriever and would like to do a lap. I'm worried about baits everywhere and any other tips with regards to travelling with dogs etc.

@Sparkysontheloose 4 года назад

Great suggestion! Pretty much keep them on a leash and they cant pick up baits. We have done a travelling with a dog podcast, have you seen it yet?

@alxa6421 5 лет назад

Hi. Helpful info. I am wondering about your thoughts on a winch. I haven't installed one yet. Do you consider it really necessary and have you used yours often. Cheers .lex

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

Hey Lex, have your seen my recovery must have video? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qt3cyZiN27k.html I consider it a must because we go were most people don't 😊

@alxa6421 5 лет назад

Thanks Kurt. I remember now. Thats why I went out months ago and bought a winch. Havent put it in . I came across your videos researching winches. Funny. Yep. As you say its insurance . Cheers guys. Gotta get back to fitting the winch.

@raiman432 5 лет назад

great pod cast guys what water filter do you use.

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

We only use the inline one from supacheap. But you can buy a dual system one which looks really good but expensive.

@descowan5410 5 лет назад

Good one guys, love the pod casts and the bloopers r a classic

@robertmawkes9595 5 лет назад

Can I ask what drone you use please

How did you get Rusty on the Island? Is n it a National Park?

@Sparkysontheloose 5 лет назад

It's not a national Park.

@theskyisblue8979 4 года назад

Its a big island with national parks on it, as well as farms and relatively large towns.
