As a mechanical engineer also ex defence industry, now in my 40s, I respect your honesty and integrity. There are so many fakers on youtube, with minimal education talking nonsense and promoting nonsense. Unfortunately, many are suffering from burnout and mental health issues due to these unrealistic expectations and ambitions. You are keeping it real. All the best
I recently retired from the aerospace industry (mostly military) after 48+ years. I continued to develop new skills and acquire knowledge up until the day I retired. I have an '85 FJ60, a '66 FJ40 project vehicle, and a Samurai. Good to see that you have the initiative to continue your education. Knowledge is power. That is something that no one can take away from you. Cheers!
Bloody impressive mate. Keep up the great work, it's nothing short of incredible what you're achieving and the drive you have to complete what you have, and what you aspire to!
Gday, having the ultimate job isn’t always the best way thing, you can miss opportunities that can be more beneficial in the long run, you passion for work and sharing you knowledge is spot on, don’t change a thing, cheers
Hey Danie, congratulations on transferring to the reserves. But more importantly, congratulations on following what you want to do with your life including deciding to study. I myself am a full time uni student but am in a fortunate situation to be paid to study. Keep up the content and good luck with studying and your continuing service.
good on you Dani for chasing your dreams. Keep being you, and keep your content coming. I only watch it becuase its real, honest and insirational. Plus I do miss Townsville is some respcts so its good to see PArts of FNQ again through a locals eyes...
Good on you for your honesty and striving for your own goals also working for defence so all the best with your studies I'm sure you'll smash it out the park! watched you for years, I'm an aircraft engineer and find your mechanical knowledge refreshing and entertaining. 🤘🤠
Hey Danie, keep up the great work. I finished my light vehicle trade over 25 yrs ago, but now drive trucks. Thank you for the update, it’s nice to see your doing well, busy but well. Hope I get to meet you one day rather than a quick chat over the uhf lol
Danie, I love watching your videos as they are the real person kinda stuff that I like and enjoy.. and with 4wd's included that's ticking boxes for me, and your not the type to go ripping up tracks and being a total hoon/idiot with your vehicles unlike other channels on here, that also ticks boxes for me... I am also an ex-RAN Firefighter so the defence side of thing I can totally relate to. Keep up the great work and videos .. I am yet to see one of your lives but as you say they are late at night...
Good on you Dani! This year I’ve been thinking whether to do the airforce or go back to uni and do (a new passion for me too!) mechanical engineering. Not sure which way I’ll go but it’s nice to here your point of views and I think it’s great you know what you want and you’re going after it even if it’s different to what people think you should do
Well, Danie, you certainly like to keep busy. No surprise that you are studying engineering. I caught a certain emphasis in a recent video that you uploaded. Good video. Thank you. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
I’m glad that you’re studying mechanical engineering. Ages ago I thought it would be good for you to do this as it will allow you to do some much more ambitious projects that need to be certified to be allowed on the road, who knows maybe you can develop new products that you can register as your own intellectual property and make some decent money.
Hi Danie, we met at Sydney 4WD and Adventure show. Mike "Old Fella's Travels " A truly inspirational video Danie, you can do so much when you set your mindset.
Hi Danie what’s the name of the app you mentioned in this video that we can download to talk to you or other other people’s advice on problems with their 4WD Cheers. Lee
Wow you’re so busy!!! I don’t know how you do it! You’re right you just have to do what you enjoy! Danie, May I ask what the name Of the new ikea desk top is called? Is it solid wood? Thanks!
thank you! the name is the KARLBY and it is a combination of walnut and veneer so not solid wood but very heavy and more solid than their standard tops. This one is usually for kitchen use.
there is plenty of avenues for them to assist in study however I opted to undertake study seperate from Defence to avoid having to give them back years once I've completed my study
just the study side of it isn't directed towards vehicles specifically. there's no money in vehicle engineering so majority of the study is directed towards civil machinery and mechanical systems and not vehicles in particular.
As a mechanical engineer also ex defence industry, now in my 40s, I respect your honesty and integrity. There are so many fakers on youtube, with minimal education talking nonsense and promoting nonsense.

You sure are a achiever Danie, very inspirational.
I recently retired from the aerospace industry (mostly military) after 48+ years. I continued to develop new skills and acquire knowledge up until the day I retired.

that would have been incredible!
Glad you choose to be THE captain of what you want and going for it.

oh nice!! that would have been an interesting job role!
I'm trying to join the airforce atm too 🙂 good on you Danie!
thats awesome! what are you looking at joining as?
if you put an rhs tube under the front edge of the table it should help support it with no support in the middle
You are inspirational, living a real life not a fictional one!
the best kind!
you got a link for the desk from ikea? nice furniture is about the only thing that gets me excited these days.
I open RUclips, I click on Danie’s video, life is great 😌
nawh thanks reubs!❤
I kept changing what i was gonna say... but in short. Keep up the good work, you make a lot of peoples worlds better by making them smile.. 😊
much appreciated! it means alot seeing the same names popping up over the years it means alot
Good on you Dani! This year I’ve been thinking whether to do the airforce or go back to uni and do (a new passion for me too!) mechanical engineering. Not sure which way I’ll go but it’s nice to here your point of views and I think it’s great you know what you want and you’re going after it even if it’s different to what people think you should do
that's exciting!! either way I'm sure it will be an adventure.
but thank you!
Well, Danie, you certainly like to keep busy. No surprise that you are studying engineering. I caught a certain emphasis in a recent video that you uploaded. Good video. Thank you. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
much appreciated!! thank you
Wow Danni. Awesome effort. Well done you. Great video. Looking forward to keeping following on with the journey..👍😃
thank you so much!
Thanks for your service
Thank you for your service in our defence force Danie
appreciate that thank you!
Hi Danie Nice one Thanks again
I’m glad that you’re studying mechanical engineering. Ages ago I thought it would be good for you to do this as it will allow you to do some much more ambitious projects that need to be certified to be allowed on the road, who knows maybe you can develop new products that you can register as your own intellectual property and make some decent money.
pretty much what we're doing now and man it's a process!
Cool Danie.. Well done pal
thank you!
Hi Danie, we met at Sydney 4WD and Adventure show. Mike "Old Fella's Travels " A truly inspirational video Danie, you can do so much when you set your mindset.
ah hello again! how have you been? and thank you i really appreciate that!
@@DanieSimpson yea good Danie. 👍
Wow you are such a cool Aussie.
why thank you!
Hi Danie what’s the name of the app you mentioned in this video that we can download to talk to you or other other people’s advice on problems with their 4WD Cheers. Lee
Wow you’re so busy!!! I don’t know how you do it! You’re right you just have to do what you enjoy! Danie, May I ask what the name
Of the new ikea desk top is called? Is it solid wood? Thanks!
thank you!
the name is the KARLBY and it is a combination of walnut and veneer so not solid wood but very heavy and more solid than their standard tops. This one is usually for kitchen use.
Thank you so much! Sweet as I will check it out 🤙🏻
Great video awesome insight into what your up to. Love watching all your vids
How’s the 60 going?
thank you!! and there was a cheeky little 60 update at the end of this video;)
Hi danie is the air force helping you with your studies?? ✈️✈️✈️✈️
there is plenty of avenues for them to assist in study however I opted to undertake study seperate from Defence to avoid having to give them back years once I've completed my study
Great stuff. You are one busy lady!!! Do you ever actually sleep??😂😂
haha very busy! I manage a solid 8 hours most nights :)
She made a decision and got off defence!
Talk about your love life, Danie
I love Marsy
Hey what’s happening with the 60 series build? :)
update on the 60 at the end of this video
you can still get called up after 3 years out of the forces
I am not out of the Airforce, I'm just no longer full time
If you love what you do, then you'll never work a day in your life.
Can you elaborate on why mechanical engineering doesn't relate to vehicles?
just the study side of it isn't directed towards vehicles specifically.
there's no money in vehicle engineering so majority of the study is directed towards civil machinery and mechanical systems and not vehicles in particular.
Do you have to get posted around Australia being with defence?
depends on your job and the current requirements. generally postings are every 3 years but I stayed in Townsville for 5years
Please tell me it's a coil conversion for the 60s your designing
😈🤫
Gday, I’m in the process of joining the AirForce myself. Would I be able to ask you a few questions please. Cheers
yes of course ask away or message my insta
@@DanieSimpsonawesome I just sent one to your Insta
When’s the next 60 update
Go for gold, busy woman.....just be sure to give yourself some downtime.
always! my downtime is gaming and camp trips
