Geez this brings back some good memories of when me and the missus ventured into the outback in the 60's in a L.W.B. Land Rover 5 door Safari wagon, no winch, no cross locks, just some shovels hahaha but still had some great trips just like you are having, keep 'em coming Cheers
About the fire lighters who cares do what you have to do when and whenever with what ever. I’m in the 60 ish age group and most people that age don’t care what others think keep doing what your doing it’s great.Also we’ve done what you are doing now, we’ve been on the road for 6 years and still haven’t finished yet only done about half of the country so far loving every minute of it keep your videos coming there great. Cheers to all of you. Safe travels
Now you know why mechanic’s don’t want you to watch and help,😂😂😂 watching the boys “Help” was priceless And the look on the girls faces going over the rough stuff 👍👍 Love ya work team🏆
Mate Love the Chanel .the van suspension set up is the best iv ever seen the truck an van combo is absolutely perfect. Great to see a young family out exploring an living the dream. Realy good camera work
The best part of the video is when your son says "I can't my hands are gonna get dirty". Thank you for sharing your experience. Hamid from Laguna Beach CA.
First time I have watched your video it seems that God has blessed you in your travels and with your family later on in life you'll have two strong young men to help you out God bless you put some more good videos out like this I'll start watching them
A mate you do wear shoes, 😊I new you weren’t as daft as you were making out😂 Great show and a lovely family. Didn’t see any snake bite stuff in your kit it’s a must for the kids and the misses 😊😊
Love your videos the kids are doing wonderful. So is mom . There's a good tire repair called Green slime you put it in to the tire through the car stem and the tire full of air and then you drive and as you drive the slime feels the puncture it works really really good a lot better than what you were using also I would recommend especially with big tires there are some better compressors out there thought you would like to know
Agree the green slime is great for many tyres , especially smaller ones like lawnmowers & quads, motorbikes, etc, I use it & carry a spare bottle everywhere, it is also supposed to balance them to some degree, however in this sidewall type case I’m not sure if the ‘Green Slime’ would have sealed a tear of that size, so having plugs on hand is probably essential in this scenario too, but yeah, always have a bottle of Green Slime on hand for punctures, slow leaks & re-seals. Talk to some tyre guy’s to get their take on it, as they don’t recommend it for some tyre type scenarios.
When you are getting a fire out, maybe use grey water in a bucket rather than fresh water. Maybe use a rope and pulley to get the tyre off and on. This is a great, laid back show!😃
Most excellent. Did something similar with my daughter 25vyears ago camping on top of an old Kand Rover round the UK. Even now we still talk about it. Torque wrench? We just use the 'FT' principle... Safe, happy travels 👍
I work on a lot of the RFS trucks in NSW all we use for those wheel nuts is Milwaukee 3/4” rattle guns and check them after but they are always the correct torque or tighter
can you use the winch for your boat to take the tyre on and off the back. just drape something over the back of the boat carrier to reduce friction on the rope. don't wanna risk doing your back in when your in the middle of the bush.
Possibly. I’m a young man but mate. If I can’t change a tire, I shouldn’t be touring. There is lots of ways I could winch the tire down. Maybe one day I’ll be wise and install something
Though I prefer the beach ⛱ 🏄♂️🏄♀️🐬👣🌊 Your adventures in the desert 🏜 make me consider a trip to the desert. Thanks for sharing. 10:34 You definitely earned a Dad's Milk after that tyre. 13:35 Good thing the boys were ther to help. 💪
You should get a front receiver like the one on back and get a winche on a caddy, where you can use it either in front or back, I installed both front and back on my RV 2 YEAR ago I've never used it an I probably will never use it, but it's there just incase.
Awesome videos! Currently living vicariously through you guys. On another note, Try a different way of lifting those tires up to your spare carrier. Walk up to it on the opposite side you want facing out, lean over top it, and grab the holes in the rim face that is pointed away from you. Pull up while catching the top of the tire on your midsection (this works best if you have a belt on) and rotate it on your midsection until the correct face of the rim is pointed away from you and you are simply holding onto the rim while the bulk of the weight is being held by your hips. That is how we do it in the auto repair industry when changing tires on a vehicle that is on a 2 post lift. You can pick up way more weight with less harm to your back. Hope that helps!
Thanks for a wonderful video. It brought back great memories when we travelled the Simpson albeit west to east. As with any isolated outback area I bet the stars were amazing. The way the caravan was, at times, bouncing around I reckon the water transfer would have been useful. Will be looking to seeing future videos.
Mate, you need a hand winch to help lift up the spare. Just think of blowing out your back and needing to drive to the nearest hospital? Technically a torque wrench is not needed to tighten the wheel nuts, as the standard wheel brace bar and the pull force on the bar is around 400Nm. Basically there is a calculation of a 80kg pull force over the length of the 1 meter wheel brace bar is around 400Nm.
Well I would suggest a breaker bar large breaker bar that's what I used on my truck little large socket that fit my bolts and the nice thing is since it was nice and large and you get a lot of work you can really torque on the bolts that's what I would use but you need something for that spare tire like electric winch electrical off the truck
Holy! That’s quite the rig to be getting through the sand, have you considered a winching anchor to help out in the tough situations? Great that you added the tip on the opposite wheel nut threads 👌🏼 most Japanese made trucks are that way. Also a torque multiplier is a handy tool to carry, affordable & makes light work of the wheel nuts. Enjoy your travels 🍻
Another good video... Fire making tip: You need to stack your wood lower... The pyramid method is also my style, but stack it less "tidy" so the wood cross each other, as in the old game "chopsticks".. The fire lighters didn't even reach to the wood... You can put the lighter on an empty (beer) tin in the middle as well. You have a half-million-dollar rig, surely you can afford a Torque wrench, bro.. 😂 That tyre is stuffed, sidewall damage don't work with a plug. Far to much "open and close" flex happening... Less showering, more drinking water... Less is more, more or less😂😂😂 If you remove half of your dead weight from the truck and trailer, you will not get stuck less in sand or mud. But each one to his own, love your videos, very different angle... But shy with the drone, I see.... 🇿🇦
Just recently came across your channel, thanks for taking us along its been great. Question- at some stage could you do a video on the van and on the truck showing them in a bit more detail, thanks
Another great Episode guy’s, love ur life & family adventures. Next time ur in the tyre shop, put some anti seize on all ur studs & wheel nuts & spin them on & off 2-3 times to get it into the threads/nuts properly, it will make a difference in the long run & makes tensioning up much better also, & if u have room keep a small tube in toolbox. Someone mentioned Green Tyre Slime, I would have 2 bottles of that on hand also for ur setup. Not sure I agree with ur theory about putting water into the van for towing weight distribution, my thoughts would be to keep most of ur weight on the truck as it has the power to wheels where u want the weight, weighing down the van more in sand (particularly), is like putting more weight on a Plough & will cause it to dig in & drag more, I think u could have let some more air out of ur tyres too, but this is all part of the fun & learning curve of what works with such a setup. Could use ur spare wheel as a sand anchor for winching, but trying to winch a van through that would be the absolute last thing on the list in desperation & potentially very dangerous. Fantastic ride there guy’s, enjoying ur vids. Cheers
How we save water in the shower - Get in, open the water and get yourself wet. Close the water. Now soap yourself up and scrub. When you done, open the water an rinse yourself off. Works real good.
New follower and love your channel ! On the tire repair try putting the plug in and twisting 200 or 300 degrees and pulling the tool out.. Might help and maybe not, I've done it that way 35 years. Sidewall's are a chore either way
Great video guys, well done on getting the beast over the sand hills, how are your backs going after all that? You might have to get a little 600kg winch for that spare tyre, or something like that to save your back . Cheers rick in Perth ❤
Hi Cartwrights, love your videos. Just wondering if you were in Brooms Head 19 August, we were having a birthday party on the foreshore and saw a truck and caravan just like yours and everyone was looking at your setup and all were very jealous. lol
Poor man’s torque wrench for wheel nuts -> telescope breaker bar, tape measure + calculator. 1kg at a distance of 1m is about 9.8nm Someone weighing in at 85kg, would need to set the bar at about 50cm and put their whole weight on it to torque at 420nm
Who puts out these tripods cameras on the outside and film them while driving? Plus the drones that provide a bird's eye view from above? If they do this on their own then that a great investment to take us with them in this trip it's truly a challenging thing to do for real
Hola, saludos y bendiciones desde Arenillas, República del Ecuador, Sudamérica. Por favor compartir la información en el idioma español. Gracias y abrazos.
would less tyre pressure help with the dunes just a general question not trying to be smart i know you are already running them a bit lower can see them bellying out
Daddy working hard, and the lil guys, they are a show apart 😅

Good job, next time, think before you get in, never go alone, invite a friend, good luck 🤞😉
Thanks mate
A small boat trailer wind up winch above the spare tyre might be good :)
This is first episode I've seen
AWESOME..
부럽습니다 온가족과 여행이란 힘들지만 잊혀지지 않는 즐거움이죠 😊
Can’t believe you guys towing such a massive rig, great effort 🙏🙏🙏
Mate with your plugs, still allow some to be protruding through, rotate 90 degrees push the plunger down and pull back
مغامره ممتعه احسنتم 👍🇮🇶
Most excellent.
Did something similar with my daughter 25vyears ago camping on top of an old Kand Rover round the UK.
Even now we still talk about it.
Torque wrench? We just use the 'FT' principle...
Safe, happy travels 👍
an absolute pleasure to watch thanks stay safe out there.
just wow so great watching you guys
Keren❤
I work on a lot of the RFS trucks in NSW all we use for those wheel nuts is Milwaukee 3/4” rattle guns and check them after but they are always the correct torque or tighter
Imagine being in the trailer going on those dunes😂😂😂
It would be a lot of fun!!
You guys are simply unreal. So good. So bloody good.
Cheers simo. Appreciate it
now this is a family
Thank you!!
Awesome video, 😀
Thankyou!
Great video. Really entertaining.
Wish you all well and hope ypu get the Subs you deserve. Your channel is great and so honest and true. Love it 🙂
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
Hey mate you could use your ladder to fold up with your spare attached to it ... a loader for your spare..!!boom..!
Zombi istilası nda fena kullanılır bu 👍😄
can you use the winch for your boat to take the tyre on and off the back. just drape something over the back of the boat carrier to reduce friction on the rope. don't wanna risk doing your back in when your in the middle of the bush.
Possibly. I’m a young man but mate. If I can’t change a tire, I shouldn’t be touring. There is lots of ways I could winch the tire down. Maybe one day I’ll be wise and install something
Amigo vc e sua familia sao GUERREIROS, 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏OBRIGADO PELO VIDEO
Thank you mate
Cool! Life.
I mean you gotta hit the bell icon a minute in with that kinda intro
Though I prefer the beach ⛱ 🏄♂️🏄♀️🐬👣🌊
Your adventures in the desert 🏜 make me consider a trip to the desert.
Thanks for sharing.
10:34 You definitely earned a Dad's Milk after that tyre. 13:35 Good thing the boys were ther to help. 💪
Hahaha we like the beach also. But we really wanted to see the middle at least once 😊
Love the video thank you so much
No worries at all. And thank you for watching
You should get a front receiver like the one on back and get a winche on a caddy, where you can use it either in front or back, I installed both front and back on my RV 2 YEAR ago I've never used it an I probably will never use it, but it's there just incase.
Inda família ❤ e também gostei de ver a camiseta do Ribeiro Jut jits Brasileiros e Australianos tem uma alma gêmea. 🇧🇷🇦🇺

Wow. Sounds like you have lifted a tire or 2 in your time. Thanks mate.
Frikin awesome job guys
That rig is a beast
Thank you!!
Awesome positivity and adventurous spirit, loving your content. Thanks for sharing, best wishes for future travels.
Файно файно !!!😊
I think when stuck on high sand roads, moving into the bush lane might be a better chance.
Hahaha this is true
Thanks for a wonderful video. It brought back great memories when we travelled the Simpson albeit west to east. As with any isolated outback area I bet the stars were amazing.

Estou vendo vocês, aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷 abraço fiquem com Deus continue com esse vídeo que é muito bom de se ver
What an amazing channel! Love it. Subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Today the 6th of September I subscribed to your channel. I watched 3 minutes first then said to myself hell ya Cool family.
great video guys as you say blessed, so lucky....safe travels
Thank you very much
What an awesome series, thank you it was brilliant. Also your postproduction work is excellent, so keep up the amazing work. Hi from London 🇬🇧

I can't even get my wife to stay at a 4-star hotel, yet alone a camper van. If she only knew what she is missing out on!
Your wife is the smart one. Being in outback Australia sucks.
Well I would suggest a breaker bar large breaker bar that's what I used on my truck little large socket that fit my bolts and the nice thing is since it was nice and large and you get a lot of work you can really torque on the bolts that's what I would use but you need something for that spare tire like electric winch electrical off the truck

Thank you mate. We actually have considered a sand anchor. Especially in our up coming vids
Mate . Get truck tyre repair kit.
Big round rubber. In the middle. Is a 6 mill bar pull to the out side . Better the the plugs you used. God bless
great family love your vids
Thank you so much
Please watch the beginning few seconds of this in slow motion and watch all of their facial expressions. Seriously hilarious
Hahaha. So cruel 🫣 but yes, you are correct! This clip was replayed by us about a billion times when we were editing this episode..so funny!
Amazing life 👏 good luck
Awesome video ❤ stay safe guys ❤
Thanks! Will do 🤙🏽

Hahaha fair call on the torque wrench.
Try convincing your wife to shower less. Keep me updated on how you go. 😂😂
Tire is stuffed, agreed
Ever thought of getting a sand anchor mite help at times
Just recently came across your channel, thanks for taking us along its been great. Question- at some stage could you do a video on the van and on the truck showing them in a bit more detail, thanks
Coming up this week mate
you shod get a x4x air jack it will help for next time :) VEVOR Triple Bag Air Jack 4 Ton
I liked
I subscribed
I commented
Isuzu should sponsor you lol!
Also what to note is on the end of those studs is a L And a R . To note what threads they are left or right.
Cheers mate

hi guys save your back lifting the tyres is bad strap the tyre to the ladder then use a small trailer hand winch to lower the ladder and tyre
How we save water in the shower - Get in, open the water and get yourself wet. Close the water. Now soap yourself up and scrub. When you done, open the water an rinse yourself off. Works real good.

Isn't there a custom high back middle seat to buy or make? Surely something.. guys love putting custom seats in their 79s..
Are you doing this trip in winter? God bless your family)
Enjoying these episodes guys! tell me though, what's the ratio you use for the daddy milk?
Thankyou!! It’s probably about three parts Kaluah, one part milk 🫣
