Great video well presented, could you tell me the distance between fuel stops, how much fuel you consumed, maybe klms per litre?👍🏻 oops should have watched the Mt Dare video first, I had assumed you were travelling Mt Dare to Birdsville 🥴
Thanks! We did mt dare to Oodnadatta without adding fuel. We were running pretty low in the tank by the time we got to Oodnadatta. That stretch was 1066km and we used roughly 135-140L of fuel.
If you should desire, move as much weight as possible toward the front of the vehicle (within reason) water is best carried in the centre, if you have a twin cab remove the rear seat and secure your water containers there. Ideally the rear tyre pressure should be about 8 psi minimum above the front, usually more, if you have a lot of weight over or behind the rear wheels with the wrong tyre pressure you will be riding a bucking bronc, as you experienced, or you could spend a kings ransom on a suspension upgrade, enjoyed your video, thanks 😊
Thank you! We use a Garmin Overlander, which has built in Hema Maps. The scale on those isn’t great though so it also has what I think is openmaps at a closer level of detail. We also carry paper Hema Maps.
About to do it alone in my Ranger in 3 weeks time.
Have been across the Simpson a few times
Great video.
COOL

Those are our tracks heading down the Colson track 30/4/23, it was slow going 1st and 2nd almost the whole length down to the French line.
We went past Colson on 23/4 so just before you went down.

Check out our other vids and you’ll see how we packed the car.
Great video guys. What maps are you using? Keep the great content coming 🍺

A bit slack that you dont mention the madigan camp numbers as you go past each & show the markers.
Thanks for watching
