Simpson Desert Crossing
"Braai" - what a lekker word to hear 😀
Sometime you should try the Swedish fire log method for a campfire, it's also a good way to cook using a campfire. If you are not familiar with the Swedish fire method try looking up "How to make a Swedish fire log", our camping group builds campfires quite often this way.
Lots flies = true Australian experience 🤣
The feral Camel droppings will definitely be a contributor to the flies, and they destroy the bush.
The Easter egg hunt is such a great idea to add some spice to things. Hope it goes where you are planning.
I could literally watch this adventure all day long ! I was hoping you guys could film another traveler passing through. I like the way Chris is so careful and deliberate with his driving. Thank you for brining us along.
Hey, that was me at 18:00 in the Landcruiser. Was a real treat seeing the mog. I did a double take, and then the moment I realised it was the mog that I've been watching the build-up on youtube. My UHF died at the start of the trip, so missed all the oncoming calls. That just made the surprise bigger. Cheers Craig
If I'm not mistaken, that was a Tribble on Ange's lap at the start! 😋. Live long and prosper 😎🇦🇺
Great Fun enjoy yourselves thank you!!!!
I wired up my own dual battery system but i would never have attempted to fix a drone, that is genuinely impressive! The drone footage is stunning and inspiring and shows just has vast our great land is!
Yep - the drone shots capture the vastness so much better! Glad you guys could fix it. Be safe and thanks again for sharing your travels with us.
Serine ; Timeless ; .& Laidback....... like Usual -Awesome &incredible video footage Thanks guys
Looks like a great time. The reflection I the window is messing with my head. Looks like you're driving backwards.
Ange & Chris thanks for the great video 👍👍👍
Great video again you two - awesome stuff!
Here's a tip for Cooking-over-coals fire set-up... Chris, try a Top-down fire... tinder, kindling, medium, heavy on the bottom. That way you never have to keep fire watching and keep adding wood. Just wait for the fire to burn down to coals. Give it a go... cheers, Daz
Yep! Love the drone shots too. You might be eager to find a Camel.
I have hit them while working on the Trans line.
They stink.
Some of those looked like Bigfoot prints! Yowieeee
Sick enjoy looks amazing 🇦🇺👊👍
I expected the sand to be red but the colours are just amazing, like the Easter egg idea, perhaps you could even promote people to shoot a video that you can include of them finding it if they choose to do so. ?
Enjoying the Simpson , great idea for the Hidden treasure 😊 . So glad you were able to fix the drone, clever man, and Ange there are not to many trees in the Simpson 😉. Thanks again for great scenery.
Love the video it looks like your having a great trip.
For those who have whom have never been out there it’s another word.
The red sand always calls you back for more 😊👍🍻
One of your best episodes..epic..never knew about ‘call up’s’ when traversing the dunes
Thank you so much for the nice feedback!
Evening Ang and Chrissy boy 😊 Wow on the scenery! Just incredible. Lovely to see you both looking so well. Take care both. 🌈❤️
Thank you as always Vicky for your nice comments! Hope you had a nice weekend :)
So I'm vegging here on my couch in South Africa catching up with my weekly dose of The Outfit in this video and I hear you casually say you're going to "Braai"? Accent even spot on too!!
Lol that caught my attention too.
Awesome cinematography with the drone. Really shows the vastness of the interior…. Cheers
Great video, love the area you are in. PS also great to hear the word “Braai” and BBQ by you. Afrikaans word.
LOL I heard it and thought ' wait what did he just say?'
@@warrengage9536 😂😂
Just dropping in again to thank you both for your excellent videos , you both remind me that I live in the best country on the planet , thank you.
Epic. Amazing country out there. Never been but would love to some day.
Glad the drone is back for them epic shots.
Well, that clue narrows it down. I better start digging.
Loved the drone shots. Still in awe that you guys conceived, designed and built this epic cruiser. Hope it was worth the effort and you continue to enjoy your travels.
Thank you so much John for your kind words! Crossing the Simpson smoothly with no issues really made all the efforts during the build worth it :)
Fantastic to see the Mog making those sand dunes look easy. I saw both of you on Wednesday heading south out of Darwin. I tried calling you up on 12 and 13 but no reply. Bowser was looking good. Love the drone footage. Cam
Oh no way! We usually don't have our UHF on in towns sorry. Out of curiosity, why channel 12 and 13? Thanks for watching Cam!
The range of your uhf if its a 6 db antenna on flat country can be line of sight or up to 50km plus if no hills in the way. But if in hilly terrain switch out aerial for a 3db as it will work better in mountain areas. How was your fuel consumption crossing the desert 🏜? Thanks for sharing your adventures 😀.
This small Fiskars is made for small girls. A real man has to own the X27 💪
Thanks for the nice pictures!
What a rippa of an idea- that is so cool . I am really glad you guys are enjoying the outback, stay safe and enjoy. You are a great inspiration 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The red centre is exactly that, stunning drone pics, love ya work, ❤️🦘🦘🦘
Amazing video and love the editing/dual shots
Another great vid
EPIC !!!
That land is huuuuge! Thanks for drone footage as it's so big you cannot imagine just by observation from land. Truck is tall, but even from the roof is not enough.
Wow que impresionante, que inmensidad, presioso el desierto de los Simpson. Emosionante llegar a un lugar tan lejano donde hace casi 100 años estuvo alguien con esa misma iniciativa de aventura y dejarlo marcado en la historia. El Unimog sigue siendo un vehiculo iconico y asombroso. Saludos desde Cordoba Argentina.
Hello from Turkey, I have a land rover defender ambulance case.
I'm camping in nature too my life is someone's dream your life is my dream too...thanks for the videos
FOR future reference when doing any repair work especially tyres go and get yourself a plastic container of (never seize) and every night and bolts and screws put never seize on them. That way they will not rust or seize up. And everytime you change your tyre always put a small amount of never seize as you can never have too much.
Loving the drone views.
what an excellent journey..................keep the posts coming.....love the mog❤
There is only one person that can say "braai". Lekker man.
Hey there, a Yank from Wyoming here. I was in Oz a few years ago, saving up to go back. Thanks for sharing! I never got that far West, Broken Hill was my limit.
9:40 I really thought you were going to say, "seasoned with half a dozen freshly self-invited desert flies"!
Thanks!
Thank you so much John for the extra support!
Love the competition idea. Love your videos.
Awesome take my hat off to you guys you did more prep with that vehicle than I’ve seen ( in life or you tube :) 👍🏼
Even better if on either side of the dunes there were signs marking the what3words address of the top of the dune so people could callout the same 1. Helpful for emergencies etc too, its used by all emergency services in the UK & other countries 😎👌
Great video guys. That wood chopping sequence was cool. The drone footage was incredible and you got the timing just right. (not to much but just enough). Nice way to get your viewers involved having the prize hunt.
Marty from Perth
Thank you Marty for the nice feedback, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the drone scenes! Hope you enjoy the upcoming episodes too :)
Great episode and incredible drone footage.
love the treasure hunt idea .. will be a cool family adventure to hunt it down ( as we're in the UK i guess we'll sit this one out & go on our own geo-cache .. lol )
Really enjoy watching your adventures. Living in western Canada it's fun to see other beautiful countries.
can`t wait to see you two in the United States, you will love the mid-west
Chris and Ang, so good to see you guys out there enjoying the rewards of your hard work, such a capable rig. Love the idea of an adventure hunt. Sadly the simpson might be a bit extreme for us but will wait for something easier hahaha.
Cheers guys! Stoked you like the idea of the Adventure Hunt!
Absolutely awesome vid! Been watching for a long time but I think this is one of your best vids so far!! Keep it up!!
Thank you so much Stephen for the feedback, we are so happy to hear you particularly enjoyed this one!
Amazing part of the country, great to see thanks guys. Safe travels
Nice to hear you using a South African word, (braai) witch means barbecue for those that don't know. Cooking food on an open fire (Braai).
I really enjoy your content. Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Which gears do you use for the steep dunes? I guess low range, but how low. Great video. The drone shots really help give an idea of scale.
Sorry, should have listened to the whole thing before asking.
What a great idea. shame I'm not on the road yet.
good vid on the channel thanks lee
Welcome to QLD!!
Thank you Adam! It didn't last long but we will be back :)
Great footage, great film exposition..congrats
Awesome episode as usual, could not agree with you more, tyre pressure is king, also helps that you have a well set up vehicle. Love the drone work, such a unique perspective. What an awesome idea, love your thought of your 4wding community
Superb video guys. I signed the visitors book at Blaze Tree (camp 16) on 14th June so not that long ago.
The drone footage is quite mesmerising at times- such is the beauty of the desert. You look like you're having a great trip. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love your videos guys! Great to see you and bowser settled in to life on the road, seeing all the little bits and bobs around the truck finding homes 👍🏻 Motivational rocket fuel for our build, today wiring diagrams 🤓😅🤤
That red dirt looks amazing. What drone do you guys use?
DJI Mavic 2 Pro
Mate, west of camp 16 is easy. The hard going is around camp 6 to 13, especially east to west which, incidently is no longer permitted because of that fact. And the heavier the vehicle, the harder it is to crest over.
Really enjoying seeing you guys on the move again. One thing that has intrigued me for a while is the sail track on the side of the mog. Have you ever used it? Do you have a sail that slides in? I’d love to see it in operation, as they seem like a much more compact setup than carrying an awning. Cheers Guys. keep up the good work
Great episode! Beautiful desert! Bowser looks great!
Hello, wonderfull Video. If you drive such a Tour, how many diesel do you calculate / used?
Thank you so much Markus! We talk about fuel consumption in next week's episode.
Do you not dig hole for fire mate 👍 then if anything goes amiss you could shovel the dirt on top 👍🍻🍻
Thanks
Thank you so much David! Hope you had a great weekend :)
What's that squeeking noise 🤔
Haaaaaaaaa 👍 gooday mate 👍 good job 👍
I reckon if my wife wanted a nap, then I decided to make noise chopping wood near the truck, I'd be in a world of trouble. I don't know how he got away with it. Good video, we've been out that way and it's a wonderful place.
I always love watching your adventures. I did think for a second your big news was going to be Angie was pregnant.....
Hi guys I have loved watching the simson ,what was the kilometres on Bowser???
Thank you so much for watching! The correct answer was 177970, we've just announced the winner :)
Hi ange and Chris, loving the simpson series. Chris please let Ange drive the dunes. If something happens to you she may need to, and the more experienced she is the less of a worry it will be.
Cheers and thanks.
Thanks a lot Steve for watching! I actually drive a short section on the next episode. I don't particularly enjoy driving that's why I don't do it often but I practice once in a while just in case.
Interesting to hear that you call it a braai too and not a barbecue. Thought that was just a Southern African thing.
Great video and content, love your video's. Question❓ I thought crossing the Madigan Line was strictly one way being West to East starting at camp 1 near Old Ando Station. Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe
Thank you Kevin! If you watch part 1 we explain how you can do the Madigan Line East to West : ruclips.net/video/gn5k90cO4u0/видео.html
@@TheOutFit great thank you. Stay safe guys, you're inspirational. Take carr
I did that track a few years ago great adventure we did see a few mobs of camels
Map references safer 👍 over crests 👍
Hi Ang and Chris wat brand of knife you used in this episode? keep it up really enjoy them. Thanks Col.
Magnifique moustache ! J’ai la même, c’est forcément un mec bien ça ! Ahah
Chris and Ange, so disappointed ☹️ I won’t be able to participate in the hunt. The miles based distance from Miami, Florida to the Simpson is approximately 8797.6 miles. However, if you guys decide to bring Bouser to the Florida Everglades, let me know, will ya…🤪
I knew it. The Earth is flat!!!!!
Hi guys ,just found your channel.Good stuff..One question,do you need a HGV license to drive the MOG.Best wishes on you adventures from Wales 🏴...
Thanks Kevin for watching all the way from Wales! In Australia we only need what we call a Medium Rigid licence but Chris got his Heavy Vehicle licence.
Hi guys, great video love the desert parts what a great trip. You guys look so fit and healthy on the outside but all those lovely steaks may be not doing you much good on the inside. Heart disease it rampant simply because you don’t know it’s happening it’s called the silent killer. Sorry about that but it is terminal when you get it, and plant based food is really good and healthy for you on the inside❤❤. You don’t have to change but it’s worth giving it a thought now and again. Hope you both have a great Christmas and a great new year. Jon 🇦🇺🙌👋🏻🙏☀️
Only 5 % maybe have ever crossed the Simpson in Australia. It's not the Australian thing to cross. People don't realise the beauty out their the fresh water and hot springs.
I was wondering if you have the Aus Army full ~930 page parts/repair/mods manual for your mog? I have it if you'd like. Great stuff. Let me know in the comments I'll email a link. Great stuff btw.
LMAO I thought Ang said she was a vegetarian, and with in a blink of an eye she eats one of our Flies. She's a Meat lover for sure. lol
its at the camp where he ate the steak....
Loved your video but did you know that travelling the Madigan Line should only be done West to East and not East to West like you did?
Thanks for watching! If you watch part 1 of our Simpson series we actually explain how you can travel the Madigan line East to West, you just have to start from Birdsville like we did 👍 (ruclips.net/video/gn5k90cO4u0/видео.html timestamp 10:26)
@@TheOutFit I watched your Video but your Permit to travel along the Madigan line states you must travel West to East only so there is chance of meeting a vehicle coming the other way and having a head on.
The French Line is two way traffic the Madigan Line is one way.
@@defenderoff-road it's two way traffic from Camp 16 to QLD border. You might need to do better research www.clc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Simpson-Desert-Tracks.pdf
@@TheOutFit You are correct I apologise sorry for the fuss
T, outfit, what a desolate dry area, you must be way north, as Thad where the CAMELS ARE, your drone shots are wonderful , take care safe travels, till next time,,, 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸
When you get to camp 16 you see buggies they are on the hay river track
20:35: its a Unimog after all….
Braai ? 😀 not very Ausie
