Hey Andrew, that fly swatter you are using….is readily available throughout Australia, just to the left of the handcuffs in ‘those’ R18 shops. ;)
Andrew, I am 64 years old now an I have just realised how long I have been watching and following you, its been a good part of 20 years an after all this time ,I am still extremely happy with your reviews and reports, stay safe old timer and thank you again.
Yeah hes up there with Jack Absalom.
The Flies... When I went to Australia in my youth, I realised that the locals had given up on the fly situation and just accept it.
Thank you for the professional unbiased informative videos
Im a kit junky, aways have been, for all of my passions! So i do enjoy these kit videos. In 3 weeks time i fly to namibia, to take a safari drive vehicle around for 21 days, a trip partly inspired by you, cannot wait. I hope their kit list is also good!
Dear Andrew,
Bravo for your great video, I do not gnow for the other viewers, but each time I watch your video, I feel a bit jealous about your life in the wild. The background gives me the envie to go outside, but the background in my region is something different. I live in Geneva Switzerland. Just one last thing, Opinel just came out wity a set of fork and spoon for your favorite n'8 Opinel.
Best regards
Fabrice Stow
Very interesting. The Travel Buddy seems to be something that I would find very useful also! They also ship internationally which is fantastic! Like many others though, I got confused when you kept using the term 'Deal Breaker'. I eventually understood it to mean that the product you were reviewing was a deal breaker, but for other competitive products! Perhaps 'deal maker' or 'game changer' would have been better, but it was perhaps nothing more than a term getting fixed in the brain whilst recording to camera and not being noticed. Regardless, I eventually understood what you meant, so no problem.
The history of openel knives is interesting and worth researching,agree they are good, I have 6
Couldn’t agree more on the Quickpitch awning, the Travel Buddy oven and. Camp Cover rear wheel storage bag 👏
2nd that.
Hi Andrew Jones Productions,
I couldn't help smiling at your comment about Andrew's use of the "deal-breaker" expression... It's a fairly commonly used, typical expression often used in South Africa meaning the following: referring to the particular property or factor of the item in choice, that persuaded you to choose or buy it. The deal was on, and you had to choose between two very close in quality products, but one had something the other one didn't have, and THAT was the deal-breaker. In other words, the reason why you chose it.
This is such an enjoyable and valuable presentation.
From someone really in the know of the subject. No bulldusting. No nonsense. Down to earth not over acting or over-presenting.
Thank you.
Though I have some respectful comment. In my position. And perhaps that of many other. Can I only listen with earphones. And the 30 or 40 decibel difference between the verbal comment and music is an major issue.
FYI
Dobinsons manufacture adjustable remote reservoir shocks which have both fast and slow compression adjustment and rebound adjustment.
They are also far easier to adjust.
They are an incredible shock and I am very happy with my set.
You are my favourite overlander 🌹,
Great video Andrew enjoyed it very much, agree with you about the terrain tamer kits. Heres my list for what it's worth. (No saggy scrotums)
1 travel buddy oven
2 EFS tac torch
3 quick pitch awning
4 quick pitch shower screen
5 camp cover & bush company canvas bags
6 bush company dining set
7 national luna fridge/freezer
8 my bugger off insect repellent
9 my EFS suspension
10 my Nike prescription sunglasses
After 38yrs of 4WDing, touring and bush driving there my essentials and favourites. What do you reckon 🤔 Andrew?
great info. i purchased 4 of the LR10s a couple of years ago on your recommendation and they are awesome.
I bought one as well(loved it), lasted 2 years before the kids broke(no one is owning up to it!) it at the base.Bit shy to spend another 70 bucks on one no matter how good it is.Its not a deal breaker!
I love the sign on the white plastic step. Great vid, keep 'em coming.
I noticed that too. I hope he was allowed to borrow it 🤭
The travel buddy for sure love it
After 6 years the haircut is looking great!
You look 15 years younger
Real passion for what Andrew does 🙏🙏
Travel Buddy's are the best thing since sliced bread !! There is a company in Vic called Sommerville Metal Works, check out the trays and trivets he makes for them, takes what you can do to another level !!
Very interesting that was Andrew, thank you.
Enjoyed your video and would like to add one piece of advice. Ship your vehicle to South Africa (Cape Town or Port Elizabeth) and come to visit Kgalagadi National Park. One warning; you might stay here for a long time. Enjoy the rugby world cup. 😊
Thank you Sir - I bought two Nightcore LR because of your reviews!
Nice video man and I like the information that you have.
Now i got it. The 270° awning has this shape to naturally run a circle around the chair when opening :-). No, really a great informative video. Thanks for that!
Andrew, what a great video. I think I have seen that "fly swat" in adult only stores, perhaps you should change your channel name to ClubXoverland.
Well done video. Very nice rig. Subscribed.
It is a pleasure to follow your channel, I very like all the info you give. 👍👍👍👍
I’ve carried an Opinel knife every day of my life and use it at least once a day. Mine stays very sharp for long periods of time and is quick to sharpen when it does finally start to show signs of becoming dull. I remember my grandfather always had an Opinel in his pocket when I was little. When I was old enough he gave me my very own knife for my birthday and I still have that knife, it’s the one I carry every day. He gave it to me for my 8th birthday and I’m 56 now so that’s almost 50 years I’ve been carrying and using it. I have many knives but only one Opinel lol and it still has my initials written in Gothic style letters on the blade down by the lock mechanism. I think of my grandfather every time I use my Opinel or even if I’m just looking at it because we have the same initials lol so do my father and my son and his son that tradition goes back centuries in my family. We all have different names but our initials are the same lol interestingly we all have a son as first born, some of us only have boys but every once in awhile there’s a girl born to us but she’s never the first born. That just occurred to me as I was typing lol. Anyway, Opinel is a superb knife and I believe it was voted into a special museum of some sort that has items that are both beautiful and functional from each century. My guess is that the porcelain toilet has 1st place lol. But I digress lol. If you don’t own one you should look them up online and order one. They come in different sizes and types of wood its made from and what kind of steel you want and do you want lettering on the blade etc etc.
Go ahead order one you just might be the one to start a new family tradition.
Oh and for the record I have my grandfathers Opinel and his fathers and his grandfather’s lol I have them all each in their own little tray in a special box. When my time here is over the box with those knives and my knife will go to my son who has his own Opinel. The other part of the tradition is that it’s always the grandfather who gives the first Opinel to the boy when he’s old enough. So just as my grandfather gave me mine, my father gave one to my son and I gave one to my grandson last year.
We British do love our traditions lol
As I sit here in my home in the Pacific Northwest of America lol
Best knives, ever!
I do enjoy watching your work. Karibu Kenya
Nice video ! Like it a lot !
A small branch with leaves makes a great fly squatter! No plastic or money required!
Hi mr Andrew you are the most luckiest person ever ، a guy like me will die with his dream of touring independently like you ۔ i can just wish but never be able to do that۔ and i am sure there is nobody in this world to take me once such in a journey of life time۔ wish you a good time pray for my dreams too۔
I'm with you on the awning, my Eezi-Awn Batwing has a tight bag and it often drives me nuts, they just had to make it a bit larger.
Love your video and overlanding but you can keep you light air craft stay safe Andrew 🍺
From your experience, Andrew, I fully trust your opinion on the BP-51’s. Without a doubt I will safe money to get them to my light weight gen4 Jimny, Because I truly
trust your judgment. Ie, the BP-51’s are outstanding.
"Trasheroo looks like a large scrotum" Freaking hilarious Andrew.🤣😂
I think you mean that the excellent options seal the deal for you😁
I think we all end up with the stuff we like and that stays with us a long time. I have bits of kit that I take with me that I've had for a while but not as long as others.
Tmax tyre compressor, Halfords Professional Toolset, various lithium 18650 torches (Nitecore, OLight and portable workshop lamps). Manfrotto 190x Tripod. Jetboil. The vehicle has a lot of stuff already, and it's been modded to my needs. There are many gadgets out there to help us, but some of the things in use in the rural areas won't work when you're mostly in urban areas, like the trash carrier. It may work for me in the future but I'd worry more about it getting stolen or vandalised. Haven't got an awning yet though.
Keep up the good work though ;)
Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I quite like the cut to #9, going from camp to the hangar. It makes me imagine that you said "Andrew cut the video here and slot in the rest somewhere else" as a video note to yourself in the editing phase haha. Makes us wonder what kind of nonsensical clips you make for yourself that you never need to show in final production! (Yes its a hangar so long as there's a plane in it, and a garage when not!!!)
I might add the Travel Budy later. But it’s at the end of my bucket list because of the environment I live in, in Central America. Love your opinion about though. ❤️
#1 fly net
You would make a killing selling a quality fly swatter to the Australian outdoor crowd. I'd buy one.
I overlanded much of Africa many years ago and the three things that would have made life much easier are 1). A 12 volt refrigerator (never had one on any of my trips of up to 6 months at a time, not even sure they were available back in the 1980’s), 2). One of those toilet seats on a folding camp stool set ups. All we ever used was a roll of toilet paper and a trowel. One benefit of that setup was doing all those squats, my thighs were in great shape for skiing when I got home), 3). A camp shower of any kind. Even the black bag type would have worked better than the bucket method we used, although I must admit that once in a while we would stop at a game lodge and pay $5 to use the pool for a couple of hours, that way we had a good clean up. I’ve only ever slept in a two person ground tent in Africa and am truly envious of anyone with a Troopy with a pop up tent, a great vehicle for overlanding.
oh I get it, Deal Breaker is positive for you. Great video
my fav is the coffee maker ,
You don't need an oven, just cook your lam shanks on the engine block as you drive like a normal person ;)
Camp light is a Petzl Noctilight bag for headtorches. Depending on size also from other brands, like a carry bag with additional functionality. The Noctilight nicely disperses the light. You can even have a charger cable inserted. It's got hooks and rubber bands integrated. Doesn't have magnets as this would be too heavy. Or simply put a head torch in a white cloth bag or net that is kinda transparent.
@Andrew - as I learn from you I realize what to adopte for me. I like what I learn from you even tour your opinion might not fit me.
But I can adopte to your opinion, making adjustments my mine.
- Ie, I find your opinions very valuable for my reality.
- Thank you for sharing. Your world of traveling isn’t mine, but it doesn’t. Matter, as long as we lest from one another.
nice-- enjoy
You are 100% correct about the CRAPPY fly swatters available in Aussie.
That leather tasseled fly swatter. Thought it was something else.
The Dobinson MRR Remote Reservoir Shocks also has adjustments for both compression (separate adjustments for high speed & low speed) and rebound damping - making it a 3-way adjustable shocks. Access to the adjustment knobs is far better compared to the B51s, and no tools are required to make adjustments. These are the features that made me switch going for the OME B51s to the Dobinsons MRRs (& the MRRs higher levels of adjustments) on my 4WD.
I'm also looking at the Dobinsons MRRs. What's your experience with them so far? Are they really that easy to adjust as advertised?
@@HammerRocks So far so good. One thing it has surprised me that I didn't think I'd use is its 3-way adjustment features. I chose these shocks for their reservoir features (and that they're made in Australia). And I thought once I've adjusted them to my desired setting that I'll just leave them at that. But I find myself adjusting the 3 settings to suit the surface that I'm driving on. Mainly between bitumen and corrugations. And the adjustments made, makes a noticeable difference on how my 4WD drives on those surface. That and the ease of access to the ajustment knobs and the ability to make adjustments without any tools is why I think I do make the effort to make the adjustments. Plus Dobinsons' guide on what type of adjustments to make for what situations makes it easier to fine tune them. I'm loving them so far. ♥️
Have a look at the Mini LED Lantern. 3 brightness levels and dual colour. Magnetic, USB charging and little hook on it
The canvas on my awning has ripped after 2 years.
Grabme gear products in Perth are worth a look for your wheel bag. Drifta make a good one too.
About sunglasses...
Try out the Glorify. They're made in Austria and they are called "the unbreakable".
And from my personal experience they really are.
You kept throwing me by saying "This is the deal breaker" and then continue to rave about a product. To me, we would say its a deal breaker when something is wrong and it breaks the deal.
Should of been "Game Changer" I reckon
@@TheJezwick or deal maker 👍
Andrew, the term ‘Deal breaker’ is a negative comment, as to say the ultimate reason to NOT use or NOT get something 🤣
Seals the deal
Deal Maker
Without seeing, the travel buddy is it. Well it's mine. No.1 choice
Hi mate please let me know were to purchase the rubbish wheel bag on the rear of your 4Bi great content love your shows.
Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series 🇯🇵❤️💪👍👍 the best of the best 4×4👆🎥👍
Crashpad make a similar excellent rear wheel bin bag with the same sort of fixing mechanism using quality thick canvas.
Good day
Can you please speak about the troopy fiber glass fender flairs specially the installation .
and of course Travel Buddy has been so popular, every man and his dog has cloned a product in the same way the shower tent was
If you swat flies out here... there will be nowhere on your table which is clean! :D
Jeepers…those flies.
How does the quick pitch awning do in heavy rain? I have been considering it to get some cover for eating and cooking during inclement weather
Maybe the fly should replace the Wallaby on the Aussie Flag ?
Where would you direct to purchase trail tamer products in USA? What do you think about trail tamers smart springs & other suspensions? Dobinson, etc? Besides ome. How would you build a 200? Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.
Good evening Andrew have you seen the new Garmin tread over lander I would like you to do a review if you get your hands on one
I remember my Opinel fondly. Only downside: it got wet once and I was never able to open it after (the wood expanded)
When will you do a test drive of the geneder ?
Andrew what is the brand of the roof top clam/tent you imported from SA? Thanks.
Hi Andrew, I see your awning opens on the right side of the car? I am about to buy one but I had assumed it would go on the left side and open away from (potential) traffic (in Australia). Any good reason you preferred the right side? I want to learn before my final decision. Cheers
I've had awnings on left & right side, it depends on how your truck is set up.
As for traffic, the only time you open the things are when you're well away from any other cars.
Beautiful aircraft , is it Remos ?
Hey Andrew, is there an emergency window-breaker tool that you recommend?
I think Kings (American not the 4wd junk store) Springs and shocks are the other can adjust...on the fly.... Rebound and compression
so my take is... when you truly want to overland... rebuild a plane and fly 😂😂
Have you ever lost the remote for the Snow Master? I have lost mine (haven’t replaced it yet) and am wondering if it’s a task to replace it.
The compressor also rattles a lot when shaken. Mostly when the fridge is empty. I own the same as andrew. They are good but don't buy if noise inside the cabin is an issue for you
I ran a Trasharoo they work well, we had firewood and rubbish and recovery gear in it. The straps are fairly broad and sturdy.
I like the wrap around trash bag you have on your spare its a better way of doing things if it fits the size of wheel you run but the Trasharoo isnt as compromised as you make out and can be used as a rucksack or hung from roof racks or pretty much anything if needs be.
You instaled the awning on the right side of the car (as in the European LHD). In this case, is it more convenient for you? Regards from Warsaw
The way your truck is set up determines what side you out an awning.
Andrew has his food prep table and fridge on the right side, so that the best place to have the awning.
Please fly safely 🙏
Buy for Daiso best fly swater I ever bought
How are the wild peaks holding up ?
What's that in the back! 😍
sir what tire dimension you are using? thanks
Jee wiz go to nearest gum tree grab 10 mm thick about arm length peel off bottom 3/4 of leaves Presto you have a springy Twitch that Chase those buggers away. Bushy trick.
I feel like we have done this before, but without the head net.
Unless you do up an 80 Series........errrrrr......you get the drift
Still none the wiser on the box on top of the spare wheel. Anyone know what it is? A case of curiosity killed the cat.
I've been trying to workout what it is & it's use, for 3 bloody weeks aarhh.
ASP: DEAL BREAKER = MAKER
EVERYONE ELSE : 🤔
Wait till ARB bring an electronically controlled shock. Then we will be raving about shocks. Drive the new raptor and you’ll never go back to a conventional shock.
I have been traveling across many countries for many years in mostly old British Army Land Rover Pinkies and Dinkies. I use very little kit and none of which is expensive kit. Mostly what works and has more than one use. I must say that the Trasharoo is a great peace of kit for what it is made for and a great price. Taking away the rubbish so it isn't left behind in it is better that the old bucket with a lid that would swing off the tow bar. The best way to fit the Trasharoo is to use a ratchet strap to tighten it up around the wheel and looks nothing like a saggy scrotum at all. Also it can carry a lot of other kit in it you wouldn't want to keep in the rig if it is wet or smelly. Talking about getting expensive kit because it looks better is making Overlanding just a "Snobby Hobby" these days and this is why Land Rover's new Defender is built the way it is. It is nice to be away from the city and get back to basics. Some people just like to take the city with them into the bush. I have two homes in two countries that supply me with very luxurious furnishings. Myself I like to be without all that snobby kit as it is softening people up to much. Overlanding can be done with very little kit. all you need is .. A box of matches/lighter. A good sleeping bag. A Basher and ground sheet and a good knife. A case or two of drinking water and some dry food/tined food/MRE's. and some cash/credit card to stop in a B&B or Motel the odd night if you want a real shower and a softy bed in a nice town along the way. Anything more than that is snobby poof kit and for those with old farts with Sagging Scrotums who can no longer walk the walk. ;) . To each their own really. But no matter what you drive or bring with you, it is what you get out of what is around you that matters most. I live OUT of my rigs, NOT in them. Keep your path behind you clean and take your rubbish with you in a Trasharoo..
I am looking for information on your water filter please
Fire to fork
Sorry to contact you this way, out of context, but I think you may have an answer to a question I have about my 2 door classic Range Rover.
I remember watching your video about your trip in the Range Rover 3.5 V8, and as you were setting out you heard the engine making
a sort of 'cracking' noise at the front. You then decided to take it back to the workshop for further analysis before going on your trip.
My Range Rover has the same engine and is making the same noise. Please could you tell me what the cause of that noise was.
Sincere thanks. Garth Richert, Cape Town.
I little bit Monty Python tonight. Mixing up the adjectives and wearing the bug scream backwards. Hard to take it serious. I was waiting for a special 🚶♂️walk or a killer 🐇 rabbit. LOL
🤣 Okay, had me confused for a while. In the United States, the phrase "deal breaker" is a negative, not a positive. It means some aspect of the item is NOT to your liking, so you don't want the deal (it broke the deal, a.k.a. a deal breaker). Never once heard it used in this manner.
😎👍
if i don't see you put Maxtrax on the outside of the plane i will unsubscribe 😂
