GREAT VIDEO, Ronny! I’m in that 90% of infrequent campers, but looking to go more frequently as I outfit our family hauler. Agree about the folding chair! A cooler will do in a pinch, though. Also wire & wire cutters along with the duct tape & zip ties.
What about a chair. So many people forget their chair and then have the cheek to sit in yours. Then they won’t get out of it like it’s some sort of a funny joke. Happens all the time.
trucknmad Or never ever ever bring a table then put all their shit on yours until there is no room. Even in the morning when you pack away all their rubbish is still there along with the residue of their ill prepared cooking experiments.
Wet wipes can be worth there weight in gold if you go camping with your children, I always splurge and get the t tree ones the help keep the midges at bay. But you missed the hand sanitiser, saves water if need be and helps clean cuts and scrapes clean. Plus the good ones are flammable if need be. Was struggling to light a disposable bbq once at the beach big splodge of gel light up straight away.
Gort Newton most hand gels are over 60% alcohol by volume, I think it’s medical rubbing alcohol mixed in, I don’t stick to any brand or anything I just make sure it has the warning on the label saying it’s flammable and keep away from open flame.
My serious off-roading has passed me by and we have a caravan these days. Inside the caravan we have a small notebook. As soon as we know we're getting low on something (eg: toilet paper), we write it down in the notebook. When we get to the next town or back home, we restock what's on the list.
Good idea guys but not only should you make a list, but also laminate it. That way you can use a white board marker (duct taped to the back with a piece of string so you dont lose it) to put a line through or a tick/cross next to each item. Once your packed, some metho white spirits alcohol or spray n wipe will clean it off ready for next time. If you have a few pages, you could hole punch each page and put an eyelet then ring through them all so you dont forget any pages
Totally agree, I’m surprised he didn’t mention keeping a checklist. I created a travelling checklist about 25 years ago. Took me a year or 2 to update it to its final version, but for a couple of decades now has never let me down, I have never ever forgotten anything on any trips since-honest!!
Hey Ronny, its like the guy that launches the boat with out the bung in, those that have & those that haven't yet.!!. its always those little items that get forgotten! after many years a check list including the little things might be the go
i just cant understand how Ronny has still 209k subs... he makes content like a 9million subs youtube channel... jesus.. stupid people becoming popular so fast, but this gem channel still on 209k
Apart from the obvious stuff, I take a Bunnings leaf bucket. It collapses flat to a circle, but allowed to spring open it forms the perfect bin liner shape. Thingy. Cost about $10-20 from the gardening section. Saves you from having to hold the bin liner open while you put crap in.
Hi Ronny Instead of the air pump, we now carry a cordless blower that you can buy at tool shops. It uses the same battery as my battery drill and blows up mattresses and beach toys in seconds. It is also great for blowing debris out of the tent before you pack up.
Great video. An absolutely essential way of thinking. This is called heuristics: problem solving. They told me when I was young I was too cynical. I said, I'm just looking for all the stuff I need to avoid or fix. How can you spot an area of concern? Either it's something you've done more than once, or you hear someone dismiss someone else with, "Well, I've never done that." That's a dangerous person to be around--they make no mistakes-- until they get you killed, or annoy the crap out of you. Long distance backpackers, you know the guys who think a 10 kilo pack is 3 kg too heavy? They all have backpacker air mattresses and air pillows. These don't need pumps and I can attest, are incredibly comfortable. Of course you have more options if you're on four wheels, but we can all learn from each other. Those air inflators? I've had them burn out. Air pillows: nothing is better, not even your home super sized delux pillow. After staying in a place with crappy pillows where I used my air pillow every night--it's become a habit. They don't have to be fully inflated. Play around with them. As a 'topper' to a regular pillow I use mine almost deflated. Warning: air pillows for some reason have a serious quality control problem. So when they are new, inflate them at home and keep an eye on them. I have two, one with a problem that was almost impossible to find the pin hole leaks (It developed more over time) and a second one graciously sent to replace the first one. It's defect free. Also, the tip about using bag and a hoodie to make a pillow? I used to do this with a padded dry-bag that will seal up like an air pillow. I'd put a t-shirt or two inside....and it's okay. Compared with my Klimit air pillow, it feels okay--but I keep waking up all night. Get an air pillow, try it out at home multiple nights. You're welcome. Clothing. Layers and layers. Merino wool. I used to buy synthetic layer clothes, kept me warm I smelled like a corpse who'd been to football practice for a week without showering. I switched to merino wool. More expensive but zero stink. How is that possible? (Well a lot of Aussies and NZs probably watch this channel so it's probably like one of you guys explaining the Infield Fly Rule-- who are you kidding). I bought this merino wool/spandex sweater in China in 2009. It was in the sale bin on the sidewalk in Lijiang. $12 US. Sure. Wear it, destroy it, cheap enough. It's only just getting ratty. I can wear that sweater, stink it up a bit, hang it over a chair and 2-3 days later it smells fresh. Wool is anti-bacterial. If you can get merino or smart wool, socks, pull-overs, undies. When I travel, I bring merino: 2 t-shirts, 2 long sleeves, one lightweight, one medium/heavy weight, a good bulky scarf, a rain shell, smart wool leggings/longies, smart wool socks, and synthetic travel pants. I can stay warm enough or cool enough in just about any situation. If it's winter, I'll toss in a sweater, bring my heavier socks, summer I'll bring 2 cotton t-shirts, lighter but still smart wool socks. A deluxe addition is Sealskinz hydrostop socks. These are amazing. They keep your feet dry, they're warm enough. The knee length ones would be great in all that mud you guys find everywhere. A AA LED flashlight-- good one,$50. I keep one of these in my pocket wilderness or city. I wrap the bottom two inches with silicone tape. Then I can easily hold it in my teeth if I don't have my headlamp handy. And before every trip check all your battery contacts, clean them off with a pencil eraser. (I once bought a $400 light meter for $60 because it kept turning off. 30 seconds with a pencil eraser, it's worked perfectly now for 30 years.) Fresh batteries--this way you're not carting around dead batteries after day two of your trip. Hats. Wider brims are better. Get two cheap hats because someone will forget theirs. I used to wear expensive Tulley hats. Lost everyone of them twice. In Japan I lost the Tulley, then I lost the one I got at Costco Yokohama and then in a Musashi hardware store I found super wide brim cheapos for about $8US and had the thought, "If I buy two of these, I'll bet I'll never lose either one of them." Four years later--I still have both. Someday a mathematician will explain the phenomenon of 'If I have two I'll never lose one again" Until then, try it out, prove me right empirically . Garbage bags: Three types. 1. Small thin ones for....garbage. 2. Heavy duty trash compactor bags-- great for wrapping up gear to stuff inside your backpack to keep dry, dust free. They can also be used for trash- but don't just toss them, if you can, empty them in the bin. 3. Super large trash bags. The best way to get a couple of these is talk to a janitor, swap him or give him a few bucks. Buy them? Try buying just two 60 gallon trash bags. These are terrific rain jackets, and sleeping bags in an emergency. Could save your life. And you can use them for 30 kids cleaning up a whole beach. Duct tape and toilet paper makes the best, most versatile bandages. Even at home in my shop I've always just grabbed papertowel and duct tape for cuts. I can tell you're a dad. Once you use baby wipes on a baby, you want to have them around all the time. In the States baby wipes seem like they've gotten expensive, and the packets seem to dry out too easily. For me, road trip with my girlfriend, kids--baby wipes are a cheap luxury. Traveling and backpacking: hand sanitizer. Since being a teacher around a bunch of germy kids with zero manners (Coughs right in my face. 'That's disgusting, cover your mouth.' "It's wrong for you to talk to me that way.") I carry it always. In Hong Kong a month ago? Corona virus's debut? I was already rocking Purell, right in my pocket. Revive slightly used baby wipes with hand sanitizer--great for wiping down a table or tailgate. Umbrellas. Useful. I bought a fancy $70 one. Stupid. I left it behind a couple of places--well you have to go back for a #$%#!! $70 umbrella. What's the difference between an $8 compact-umbrella and a $70 one? Not much and $62. An umbrella is cheap and very useful in the rain, to block the sun, laying on a beach when it's windy. It's a sandstorm below 12" Then there's the forgetting at the other end. Ever leave your bathroom stuff in a bathroom? I've done that more than a few times. Stuff in a fridge or buddy's cooler. Hopefully some of this is interesting. You might think, that guy sure writes a lot-- not at all, this guy procrastinates a lot. I'm supposed to be fixing my snowshoes.
Tp, baby wipes and hand sanitizer. Bought a portable out house tent and foldable toilet seat. Works great. Bought it for my wife and teased her about it. Never realized how useful it is!
Hands down, totally agree with all of those ! I cant tell you how many pillows we have bought on the road due to leaving them at a location or at home. LOL
I make a simple master check list on my phone and duplicate that list in an exercise book in the drivers side door pocket so I can physically check it off with a pen. Never forget anything again....
Thanks brother Ronny for all, with all these stuffs we can go all around the world. Merry Christmas Ronny you, your family and all Australia. Greeting from Algeria Greeting from Algeria
Forgot my tent on a 4 day trip to the High Country. As a result I cannot recommend any seating position in a Patrol GU as a bed as they're bloody awful, however a hammock & tarp worked out pretty well 👍
Yeah, it's ok for 1 night of tormented sleep but by day 2 you're hunting desperately for alternatives. Luckily I had a hammock from a tropical trip in the car & a tarp I could jerry rig as a rain/leaf shelter so was ok. In all honesty it was one of the comfiest nights sleep ever, but it was the summer so I didn't have to deal with the uncomfortable cold from below like in a stretcher tent on cold nights
Done so many! 1.Last week, no jumper/hoodie, remembered going past Bunbury so stopped and purchased one. 2. Stirling Range's NP, bbqs need a lighter, didn't have one. 3. Exmouth, no hat 4. Down south, no pillow On the plus side I've not forgotten the same thing twice 😂
People also tend to forget bringing some kind of extra rope, or string, to tie things up or set up camp. And unfortunately also a first aid kit is often forgoten... Happy holidays!
Agree on all. I was thinking I would find something new to bring but I didn't then I realized its because I've come to all the same conclusions from experience. I.e. Very useful advice here. Especially rubbish bags, why are they so easy to forget?!
very helpful. one note to remember is to replace your sunscreen every twelve months regardless as old sunscreen can cause skin irritations as it goes off.
I keep my camping rigs packed all the time less likely to forget items. My challenge is to remember to replace items as I use them. We keep a laundry tub in house and put replenishment supplies in tub as they are purchased or from home supplies. Be Prepared.
I keep meaning to do it. Make a checklist. Matches. Yes definitely. I once forgot to bring a container of water. Not the end of the world but would of been handy. Only on a day trip though. .i need to watch your vids about camping. Gonna try it out soon
You can easily use a compact shovel as a hammer alternative for driving stakes. It’s also near impossible to accidentally smash your hand because of the wide striking area.
Baby wipes are LIFE. They clean your hands, your dishes, replace toilet paper, replace showering, clean the car...and then you can chuck em in the fire.
He said "Flashlight" twice...how un-Austrailian of you...LOL The bush hat is mandatory, we gotta look cool in the bush even if we don't the rest of the time...also don't forget the pancake flipper, my #1 forgotten item!
In Canada the dentist always gives us a little bag with a toothbrush, travel size toothpaste and floss which I leave in the glovebox of my car as well I take baby wipes and leave the toilet paper at home
Another word for torch other than flashlight I've used was "moonbeam". US Marines had lots of funny terms for things, some of them leftover from the Navajo Code talkers I think.
Great list. I’m totally surprised that I always bring everyone of those when I go camping. I figured there’d be something on the list that I missed. TP and baby wipes are crucial. And always bring extra flashlight and headlamp batteries! You definitely never wanna be an 8 hour long hike away from your vehicle at night in the middle of Yellowstone without light! Worth their weight in gold. Oh and if in the Rocky Mountain states in the US: Bear Spray! Guess that’s not an issue in Australia, though apparently y’all do have a bunch of poisonous animals that can kill you there...
Dunno what all the fuss is about. I have a camping trailer outfitted with everything we might need. Usually checked a couple of days before departure to ensure everything is there and in serviceable shape. On return, repairs or replacements are made, stored in camper and left until next trip. Considering most of our trips are over two to three weeks, we need a certain amount of gear. The most important is the solar panel and of course the instantanious LPG hot water heater and shower set up. Never leave home without it. Air pump ?? Who needs it ? eight inch variable foam mattress leaves any such airbag for dead.
winfeildblues what you think decorating evergreen trees holly wreaths and a white guy delivering presents is a Middle Eastern tradition. I’m seeing Yuletide tradition everywhere this time of year.
Went on a long roadtrip with a couple friends and one of us forgot to bring pants. I didn't forget pants, but I grabbed my mom's pants by mistake. He got et alive by mosquitos and I wore the one pair of jeans that fit until they'd just about stand up on their own. Also, you can get manual pumps for air mattresses. We had a battery-powered air pump that we found would do about one mattress per set of crappy gas station C cells. Ditched it for a manual foot pump and that thing's still around. Sounds like a pair of asthmatic rhinos attempting to make more rhinos, but doesn't eat C cells!
Can you do a video on how you store all your camping gear when it’s not in use Ronny? Like where you keep your swags, oztent, cooking gear whilst at home.
You forgot to add fishing gear to the list (and permit if your in a state that needs one) since anywhere you camp near water can be a place to throw a line.
Good video mate its the small things that can stuff you around out bush , i carry a hat and sunscreen in the car all the time used mine the other day in 39 degree heat cockling merry xmas take care .
1:55 Nice toilet bag. What's the brand please Ronny? Found it. The good people at Quick Pitch have them. Top quality bit of kit too. "Camp Cover - Wash Bag Safari Ripstop - Khaki"
It would be impossible for me to forget any of those, because all but the hammer are in my bag that is with me at all times. The hatchet/hammer has it's on mount inside the Disco.
Gday mate .!!!! Great vid as usual ..!!! Just wond what type food do you take with you esp on the long journeys ..!!! Or who takes what when there's a few of you ..???? Cheers ...!!!! merry xmas to and your family ..!!!!!!!🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
there's one of their trips from last year a couple of the guys mrs' cook their meals then they vac-pack flatten and deep freeze... the fridge (freezer) looked like a filing cabinet of meals i was super impressed
@@nudgesmate2286 And you buy a 12 volt electric pie warmer oven to place said meals in whilst your driving thru the day, get to your camp site, meal's nice and hot ready to eat without any preperation. Always do this the first day out, saves heaps of time and allows setting of camp without pressure.
GREAT VIDEO, Ronny! I’m in that 90% of infrequent campers, but looking to go more frequently as I outfit our family hauler.
Agree about the folding chair! A cooler will do in a pinch, though. Also wire & wire cutters along with the duct tape & zip ties.
I vacuum pack each toilet roll , they are then moisture/dust proofed and take up a lot less space .
Do you remove the core?
What about a chair. So many people forget their chair and then have the cheek to sit in yours. Then they won’t get out of it like it’s some sort of a funny joke. Happens all the time.
my pet hate!
Or the jokers that bag ya out for the lavish chair with table on the side,then wont get out of it!
trucknmad
Or never ever ever bring a table then put all their shit on yours until there is no room.
Even in the morning when you pack away all their rubbish is still there along with the residue of their ill prepared cooking experiments.
I'd find different people to camp with. That ain't right.
Yeah you need new people to go camping with hahaha
Very helpful and timely video Ronny. Just packing up now for a 4x4 jungle expedition. Have a wonderful holiday. All the best from Guatemala.
i always forget to bring the Wife....
Lmao, not always a bad thing!
Justin 640 lol. “Wife bad”
usually she brings heaps of unnecessary shit too
hahahahahahahahaha
devils garage - I, too, forget to bring the Wife. Maybe because she’s married to someone else?!? 🤷😈
Leaving the air pump at home, then blowing up the mattress at 9000' elevation, you remember it forever more.
Are you speaking from experience 🤔
@@thomaswebley2523 😁
Wet wipes can be worth there weight in gold if you go camping with your children, I always splurge and get the t tree ones the help keep the midges at bay.
But you missed the hand sanitiser, saves water if need be and helps clean cuts and scrapes clean. Plus the good ones are flammable if need be. Was struggling to light a disposable bbq once at the beach big splodge of gel light up straight away.

Bill Roach I do the same in my phone
Make a checklist and keep it in the car, than go through it before going on long trips
Yup, checklists. I like to keep printed versions and a version in my phone. I have lists for everything.
agree totally.. and remember to update checklist when you get new kit
Good idea guys but not only should you make a list, but also laminate it. That way you can use a white board marker (duct taped to the back with a piece of string so you dont lose it) to put a line through or a tick/cross next to each item.

now its on 393K yay
Military makes you addicted to packing lists. I can't do anything without one lol.
Great to see the silly season is alive and well in Perth, Enjoyed your video clip. MERRY CHRISTMAS and thanks for the year of entertainment.
Forgot my rifle on a hunting trip once.
I kid you not.
Merry Christmas to you and the family mate.
Cheers from NSW...
Lol a friend of mine forgets to bring his ammunition LOL
@@morpar318 😉 "forgets"
I went fishing and forgot my tackle box ...
I had a mate bring the rifle but not the bolt.
Easy to get caught up in the big picture and excited about hitting the road.
Apart from the obvious stuff, I take a Bunnings leaf bucket. It collapses flat to a circle, but allowed to spring open it forms the perfect bin liner shape. Thingy.

Couldn't agree more. I've dam near forgot each one of those in your list.. my last adventure I forgot warm clothes and I always forget a chair..
An extra 10 sturdy tent pegs with your mallet or hammer is always handy because they always get lost/stolen.

1st thing on the list
Phone charger. The poles for your swag. Gas cylinders for your camp stove. All things I have forgotten before.
Sleeping bag... Yep.
The most important is the stubby holder
beer, chair and stubbie holder
Always have a spare on the uhf areial!!
Keep them in all your cup holders for the car
lives on the stubby lever
Forgot the stubby......don't think so
Portable buddy heater!!! It was 42 degrees when we went camping this weekend in Florida. Sleeping was miserable.
Hands down, totally agree with all of those ! I cant tell you how many pillows we have bought on the road due to leaving them at a location or at home. LOL

Forgot my tent on a 4 day trip to the High Country. As a result I cannot recommend any seating position in a Patrol GU as a bed as they're bloody awful, however a hammock & tarp worked out pretty well 👍
Concur with the GU Patrol - especially those of us over 6 foot tall.
Id say there's a large amount of patrol owners who've had to spent an impromtu night or 2 in the car so you won't be alone ha ha
Yeah, it's ok for 1 night of tormented sleep but by day 2 you're hunting desperately for alternatives. Luckily I had a hammock from a tropical trip in the car & a tarp I could jerry rig as a rain/leaf shelter so was ok.

I keep my camping rigs packed all the time less likely to forget items. My challenge is to remember to replace items as I use them. We keep a laundry tub in house and put replenishment supplies in tub as they are purchased or from home supplies. Be Prepared.
I keep meaning to do it. Make a checklist. Matches. Yes definitely. I once forgot to bring a container of water. Not the end of the world but would of been handy. Only on a day trip though. .i need to watch your vids about camping. Gonna try it out soon
Propane Colman lantern is great! They are very bright, plop it on the table at night, shoots about 30ft radius of bright light.
You can easily use a compact shovel as a hammer alternative for driving stakes. It’s also near impossible to accidentally smash your hand because of the wide striking area.
Tomato sauce is the only thing I've forgotten & I've forgotten it a few times lol. A camping check list is the go
You can never have too many bottles of Tomato sauce or too many packs of matches.
Baby wipes are LIFE.
They clean your hands, your dishes, replace toilet paper, replace showering, clean the car...and then you can chuck em in the fire.
always good to write a list in the days before
Great video. I'm probably guilty of at least 8 of the things forgotten...
Thanks Ronny, and Happy Holidays to you!
Outstanding job have a great time
Pillow was my missed item and had to roll up my extra jeans and jacket to replace.Terrible night of readjusting them over and over.
Can't wait for the preparing video!
Great video thanks and happy xmas
Ronny! Would you guys ever consider doing a special tag-along here in QLD? Love the videos mate!
He said "Flashlight" twice...how un-Austrailian of you...LOL The bush hat is mandatory, we gotta look cool in the bush even if we don't the rest of the time...also don't forget the pancake flipper, my #1 forgotten item!
I have nearly every one of them in the 4x4 at all times as u never know when u will need them plus theres no chance of ever forgetting them that way!
Hignsight is a funny thing,so easy to forget stuff,nice timely reminder Ronny! Cheers mate,happy xmas,stay safe👍
so this whole list im ok i didnt forget anything bro haha great vid
In Canada the dentist always gives us a little bag with a toothbrush, travel size toothpaste and floss which I leave in the glovebox of my car as well I take baby wipes and leave the toilet paper at home
Once forgot the sleeping bags, another time it was extra cold and forgot extra blankets
Check listing what goes into the vehicle, what comes out and what did and didn't get used to bring or leave behind on the next trip.
Another word for torch other than flashlight I've used was "moonbeam". US Marines had lots of funny terms for things, some of them leftover from the Navajo Code talkers I think.
sparticusVI , I like "handheld portable space illuminating device" myself ......👌
Great list. I’m totally surprised that I always bring everyone of those when I go camping. I figured there’d be something on the list that I missed. TP and baby wipes are crucial. And always bring extra flashlight and headlamp batteries! You definitely never wanna be an 8 hour long hike away from your vehicle at night in the middle of Yellowstone without light! Worth their weight in gold.
Oh and if in the Rocky Mountain states in the US: Bear Spray! Guess that’s not an issue in Australia, though apparently y’all do have a bunch of poisonous animals that can kill you there...
I forget a proper bush knife! hammock, transistor radio, mirror, life jacket, flair, etc.. #RonnyDahl
I hate forgetting the caffeine drink of choice. I never seem to forget whiskey though.
merry christmas to you and yours
tongs i always forget tongs. so i went out bought a few pair of tongs and still forget them.
Lol we forgot ours too.
🤣forgot my sleeping bag once as a young lad on a 3 day dive trip to Catalina Island. Ended up sleeping in my wetsuit.
Good stuff!
Once I left the missus behind, begeezus that was a good trip
Dunno what all the fuss is about. I have a camping trailer outfitted with everything we might need. Usually checked a couple of days before departure to ensure everything is there and in serviceable shape. On return, repairs or replacements are made, stored in camper and left until next trip. Considering most of our trips are over two to three weeks, we need a certain amount of gear. The most important is the solar panel and of course the instantanious LPG hot water heater and shower set up. Never leave home without it. Air pump ?? Who needs it ? eight inch variable foam mattress leaves any such airbag for dead.
Thanks and a happy Yule to you and yours.
Bug out vehicles UK Torn Apart self sufficiency....... Ha ha Yule ... That hasn't been used since the 12 century ..!!!!😝😝👍🏻👍🏻
winfeildblues what you think decorating evergreen trees holly wreaths and a white guy delivering presents is a Middle Eastern tradition. I’m seeing Yuletide tradition everywhere this time of year.
Nice to have a chair.🏁🏁👍.
Went on a long roadtrip with a couple friends and one of us forgot to bring pants. I didn't forget pants, but I grabbed my mom's pants by mistake. He got et alive by mosquitos and I wore the one pair of jeans that fit until they'd just about stand up on their own.
Also, you can get manual pumps for air mattresses. We had a battery-powered air pump that we found would do about one mattress per set of crappy gas station C cells. Ditched it for a manual foot pump and that thing's still around. Sounds like a pair of asthmatic rhinos attempting to make more rhinos, but doesn't eat C cells!
Rain gear/clothes. Especially when you need to lie under the undercarriage to fix something on the wet ground
That was à good one. Hi from France and Best wishes
Tent pegs...people frequently lose it at the previous camp site.
Bbq tongs - nightmare if forgotten
I take baby wipes in my tackle bag so handy
Can you do a video on how you store all your camping gear when it’s not in use Ronny? Like where you keep your swags, oztent, cooking gear whilst at home.
Hmmm, I'll see what I can do as I just changed everything up.
Thank you
Most of these items are in my base gear, so I won't ever forget it :P but good video though!
Nice one Ronnie😎
You forgot to add fishing gear to the list (and permit if your in a state that needs one) since anywhere you camp near water can be a place to throw a line.
Spare set of keys?
@Gort Newton in somebody else's vehicle ie key swap
Good video mate its the small things that can stuff you around out bush , i carry a hat and sunscreen in the car all the time used mine the other day in 39 degree heat cockling merry xmas take care .
Also don’t forget hand lotion and chapstick for dry skin & lips! 👍🏻
16. Fleshlight
Please Ronny...tell me you didnt steal your daughters Panda headlamp ( I want one too )....Merry Christmas.
Shh don’t tell her 😁
Knife and fire lighters! Also, extra cold beers!!!
All the essentials.
Always bring your own pillow you never know who's been dribbling all over the one you might borrow or a motel one..
Baby wipes are a permanent fixture in my glove box...
1:55 Nice toilet bag. What's the brand please Ronny? Found it. The good people at Quick Pitch have them. Top quality bit of kit too. "Camp Cover - Wash Bag Safari Ripstop - Khaki"
It would be impossible for me to forget any of those, because all but the hammer are in my bag that is with me at all times. The hatchet/hammer has it's on mount inside the Disco.
i wish i could say ive only forgotten my sunglasses once ...but i cant lol
Can you cover the best containers and storage places for extra Diesel. Thanks Denise
Need a check list!
Thank you helpful and handyman, Nice red beard father Christmas, Merry Xmas!
Lol it’s summer in Australia! Haha
Cheers from Panama mate!
“Duck table cable ties” 😂😂😂

Gday mate .!!!! Great vid as usual ..!!! Just wond what type food do you take with you esp on the long journeys ..!!! Or who takes what when there's a few of you ..???? Cheers ...!!!! merry xmas to and your family ..!!!!!!!🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎅🏼🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
there's one of their trips from last year a couple of the guys mrs' cook their meals then they vac-pack flatten and deep freeze... the fridge (freezer) looked like a filing cabinet of meals i was super impressed
@@nudgesmate2286 And you buy a 12 volt electric pie warmer oven to place said meals in whilst your driving thru the day, get to your camp site, meal's nice and hot ready to eat without any preperation. Always do this the first day out, saves heaps of time and allows setting of camp without pressure.
THANK YOU DETAIL VIDEO
WISH BEST FURTHER TRIP IN 2019
RE: Batteries- Energizer Ultimate Lithium definitely last longer than other brands I've used. You'll thank me the longest day that you live!
