When I made this comment you had 1.6k likes so there are lots of people who care. Your family will grow up and remember all the things you taught them when they go on their own adventures. Thanks for sharing with us what you’ve learnt.
Thanks for the support, really appreciate it. This video has done really well and I still believe in what we said in the video. Those extras are great on a specific trip, but not necessary to travel Australia
Great tips. I have been concentrating on all the big items that I didn’t really give much thought to things like a laundry bag or shock cord and I have this stuff in the shed. Ohhhh “ I do care “ by the way. Thanks heaps.
Thanks for making this list. It’s always those little things we forget or don’t pay much of attention when we planning a big trip. Yet, they are playing huge part of making the trip smoother.
Thanks for coming into my loungeroom each week. You have a great family, well adjusted children, good manners, well done. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Great list Adam. Not rambling… We have most of those things. Will look at sensor lights. The BEST water filters are made by a mate of mine on the Gold Coast. Can get direct from their website but others may have specials and cheaper. I love my screw pegs. I just use a battery hammer drill and I carry masonry bits if really hard ground. Hope all is good at home.
Excellent tips, some we do already but a few others we will use. Thank you. Boring…..NO informative, never know enough of those little things. Cheers take care of each other . Until next time….GG 👍🌻🎉
Cheers mate for the support, unfortunately youtube won't share our videos without ads, if they ain't making money off them, they will share a video that is! So we've been beaten by the algorithm 😫. Thanks for the support and we are trying to keep the ads to the absolute minimum
Thanks so much for the positive support. We filmed our our lap of Australia, real, dirty, highs and lows. Not a edited all glossy film to just get views. Thanks for appreciating a real trip 👍
Well done Adam. Not rambling. Always looking for tips and tricks to make life on the road that little bit easier. Keep up the great info. Look forward to the next one.
Yes mate we do care lol and thanks again for putting the time in to make this handy clip.keep it up.love to see a unpack video of stuff you took and never used
Extremely useful video, Adam. Practical tips, all of them. Great to see you rocking those khaki shirts and Akubra hat, too. Takes me back to my 'trekking solo through the Kimberley' days. I'm actually off to Bunnings this afternoon to check out sensor lights and shock cord. Might even lash out on a new squeegee! Cheers, Kevin (a.k.a. Remote River Man on RUclips).
Hobby and an obsession!! great tips I have the same magnetic security lights and hardly ever use the strip lights on the outside of our trailer anymore 3xAA last forever!
Thanks guys, happy to help others out with what we learnt. I've got a couple of ideas rattling around on places to see, but we definitely need to take the dog on a couple of trips to make it up to him
LOL _ Yes we do care and thanks Adam and family for all your great vids and great tips!!! Really has helped us as we are about to embark on our trip around Australia....
Thanks Kim, I do really appreciate the support and positive feedback 😀. We've been doing this sort of travelling for year and something that might be obvious for other travellers might be something mind blowing to a newcomer.
Care! good video ! some great ideas ! I find that all the smalls items cost $$ can add up to the cost of one of the big ticket items . eg winch or something like that .. then the next part of the puzzle is where to find all the usuable storage space to keep these items and still have them in a practical usuable location .
Galvanised Bugle Batten Screws - 14g x 200mm and an impact driver or drill. Best tent pegs in rock hard ground. Best indestructible recyclable bag is a large dry dog food bag, nothing leaks out and you just wash it out when ya get home or to town or turf it. Heavy duty Welding gloves, because when a snake decided to have a nap in my camper it was either grab it with the welding gloves or ghosty the trailer off a cliff and claim insurance! I choose the gloves.. Good video we care!!!! Subscribed because of that comment!!
Keep it coming. The tip about the two jerry cans is something I hadn’t thought off. Thanks for the idea. Everyone has to have a hobby and he’s a great one to have as the kids get to travel and see Australia
I live on a boat and use a tall bucket to wash in Use a large funnel with numerous holes drilled, attached to a broom handle using duct tape. Clothes and water and a little liquid laundry. Agitate by working funnel on handle up and down
Thanks for the top tips. It’s always great to get some good tips and some of the simplest tips are the best ones. Keep the great videos coming, I love watching them.
Not boring at all. Small things can make a big difference. One of those rubber car boot liners lives in the GQ. I mostly use mine as a shower mat but I also use it as a clean place for parts, tools or myself if I need to do track side repairs, as clean space to put on shoes outside the tent, keep the wood pile dry, impromptu baby change mat & have even used it as a place to fillet the days catch. Only costs about $30, rolls up compact or lays flat & doesn't weigh much. A must have in everyone's rig IMO.
Thanks for joining us Luke, I reckon go to week 3 of our lap and watch from there. First 2 weeks are a little slow because of covid restrictions and I was learning to edit and upload while on the road. Happy to answer any questions
@@GoingOverland well that's good to here. I have only watched the first two weeks and am loving it already 😊. This makes me so excited for our family trip around Australia in 2026
Sarcasm ON..Mate you can get a 50 dollar induction cooktop and no wind problems... . . . . . . . . Oh I forgot you need a 10 thousand dollar battery install to run it. Sarcasm OFF. Great tips of course for us plebs in the neighborhood.
Thanks Michael, nothing wrong with cooking with gas and using a fire for backup if we run out of gas. So true about the behind the scenes true cost of induction cooking. Imagine running our of battery power and not being able to run the fridge 🙃
great comments, in particular the supa pegs ( versus screw pegs) they can be difficult to buy in shops, but they work great. I buy them on-line, in long and short versions, also they are inexpensive.
Thanks mate, I forgot what the supa pegs cost, little more than the cheap pegs, but if the last 6 times longer, they are definitely worth the little bit extra. I found in really hard ground the screw pegs didn't drill in, just spun around and chewed out the ground
Aside from your location reports, actual useful tips are the most important things when I look at channels like yours. One other thing it would have been helpful to know the month each of video is film to give a sense what the wether is like at certain time of year! Now the question is - what don’t you like about screw pegs
Cheers Aron, I just found that in the really hard ground the screw pegs wouldn't drill into the ground and just chewed out the ground so they then couldn't grip and was easy to pull out. With the supa pegs I could hammer them half in and that was enough to hold
You can tell the other half and kids that I care and you are not rambling. I only stumbled upon your channel an hour ago and this is video 3 or 4 I’ve watched. Down to earth and a pleasure to watch. Off the video that “nobody cares” you’ve got yourself another subscriber 😁
Thanks so much Warwick for joining us. You'll have to go back and watch some of our big lap series. It was a fantastic adventure. Happy to answer any questions you have.
Sell the kids, ha ha , 😂 🤣 😆 you always learn something and if you know it all ha ha! A good reminder is always welcome, great video thanks for sharing 👍
Quite enjoyed this video, thanks for doing it. We've graduated to caravanning so some of your tips aren't relevant to us anymore, but back in the day, very useful. A couple of comments - for your wife, any good hobby is an obsession - if not you aren't trying hard enough Washing your solar panels, I first tried the spray bottle but found it took to long to rinse of the crud moved by the squeegee (and they break and have to be replaced ) so use a Gatorade bottle, the one with the lift up lid and a small nozzle - free after I've drunk the contents and enough of a flow to really rinse off the panel Questionable water - Filters will only remove a certain size particle (which is ok most of the time) but bore water, etc; high in salts are another thing. We have a $100 reverse osmosis unit off ebay - the type that screws on to a tap - and a 12v high(iso) pressure pump. Pump stays in the car, RO unit fits in a 100mm PVC pipe on the draw bar. If the water source has good pressure and you've got the time near it, pump isn't needed (caravan park at Rawnsley for instance) otherwise fill jerry cans or a water bladder and pump its through later - out flow water can be run in to a bucket and sent back through the RO unit a couple of times so loss is less than 50% and completely clean tasteless water - drinking water into its own Jerry can and washing water into the tanks
Nuts and bolts are handy as well... especially after being on some rough roads. I still have a chuckle, about that day in Kununarra, when I was working on my ute. I'd found, the alternator adjuster bolt broken,and wandered over to see if you had something. You rummaged through you stash and found a similar bolt. I remember you saying" I'd just bought this bolt at the local hardware store... don't know why I bought it ..but it might come in handy for something". It was a perfect fit. Still owe you, Adam, for that! Thanks mate! And it's still doing it's job! Haven't replaced it yet.
😆 that's right I nearly forgot about that bolt. Good to hear it's still working, you don't owe us anything, but will accept a catch up one day as payment 😉
Just a hint for your shock cord clothes line, use it doubled and put a few twists in it before you hook it up.. slip clothes towels etc between the twists and then you don't need clothes pegs. I buy the 8mm X 20m packs from Bunnings, I use it for guy ropes - clothes line - anti-flap over the awning when it is set up, home made ockie straps and other things.. I always have some with us. Other handy things are a tube of good superglue, and a roll of double sided Velcro.
It's perfect to hear a few tips that could be helpful for people. , I'm sure most people walk around caravan parks looking at different set ups for ideas!
Thanks Darren, I recommend going back to week 3 of our lap of Australia if you are interested. It's were the adventure really starts. And our budget video going up today
Brilliant. We use wool wash in our little tumble washer, just wring out and hang up, no rinsing…..helps keep mozzies away . Hard metal tent pegs, definitely…we use a small lump hammer and a crow bar…that compact pea gravel is very hard, both in and out!
@@GoingOverland I literally spent yesterday playing in my trailer. I fitted a few bibs and bobs, including some bungee cord hanging racks like you mentioned. Let's see if we use them now.
Good shit mate !! Awesome tips...you're not rambling ...its all good stuff to be aware of and gets us ahead before you get out there somewhere and need something...gettin ready to do something like this over here in NZ maybe not 6 months tho...that would be awesome....cheers
Thought you were going to use the pool noodle to put around a 25 L bucket and make a toilet.Silicone , Duct tape and some wire are a must for a quick fix.Silicone is good for ripped tents or clothes,etc.A 40cm small Weber kettle bbq fits in a milk crate when travelling and keeps the fire off the ground and uses less timber and an old ironing board is light.adjustable height and makes a great table ! Happy camping 😀😀Dont forget the toilet paper🤣
You are the number one man,l have taught you well. Saying that don't forget to change your Jerry taps to snap type and always take a milk crate with you.
Ramble on some more all great ideas thanks , like the lights and water tanks\protection , we have supa pegs and screw pegs as we live in the north of WA and yes the ground is hard , as before please keep up the great work .
Definitely not rambling and very harsh from the family …ha ha enjoyed it very helpful . I bought into the hype on the screw pegs and agree the supa pegs are a great option cheers Mark
Some good tips, instead of pegs I made a peg less clothes line from 6mm Bungy Cord from Bunnings 3 x 10mtr Rolls plated together and a couple of Caribeena’s , wife loves it.
Thanks for watching, happy to help others out, not just trying to get money out of people's pockets. It's amazing how the little things can make life on the road comfortable

Great tips. I have been concentrating on all the big items that I didn’t really give much thought to things like a laundry bag or shock cord and I have this stuff in the shed.
Ohhhh “ I do care “ by the way. Thanks heaps.
Cheers Neil, it's so easy to forget the little things, so I thought this video would help others thinking of travelling
Thanks for making this list. It’s always those little things we forget or don’t pay much of attention when we planning a big trip. Yet, they are playing huge part of making the trip smoother.
Thanks Lucky, happy to share what we learnt 👍
Great advice!
Thanks for coming into my loungeroom each week. You have a great family, well adjusted children, good manners, well done. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks Kathleen for your support and kind words.
Great list Adam. Not rambling…
We have most of those things. Will look at sensor lights.
The BEST water filters are made by a mate of mine on the Gold Coast. Can get direct from their website but others may have specials and cheaper.
I love my screw pegs. I just use a battery hammer drill and I carry masonry bits if really hard ground.
Hope all is good at home.
Thanks Kevin, tell your mate he's got a top product.
Excellent tips, some we do already but a few others we will use. Thank you. Boring…..NO informative, never know enough of those little things.
Cheers take care of each other . Until next time….GG 👍🌻🎉
Thanks GG. So good to hear from others who have the same ideas. I can't wait to tell Larissa how wrong she is 🤣
We care! Love the kids, they are great! Thanks for another great, informative video
Thanks Christine, they just love giving me a hard time 😆. They are a little jealous of not giving them my full attention all the time.
A good list of items. We utilise a bag, wind sheild and two Jerry’s for all the same reasons. We care. We enjoy your vids. Thanks
Thanks mate, glad to hear I'm not alone. It's amazing how much you depend on these little things but they go unmentioned.
Awesome vid mate, really valuable. Unbelievable footage of fantastic scenery - what a trip, lucky kids!
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice tips mate. Yeah Supa pegs are awesome and yes they can be hard to get. Tentworld stock them but they go quick.
If I new how hard they are to get in WA and NT I would have brought more than 3 spare pegs!
Absolutely love the no ads, and even more so love how you guys are doing this without sponsorship. Most of all we're LOVING your content.
Cheers mate for the support, unfortunately youtube won't share our videos without ads, if they ain't making money off them, they will share a video that is! So we've been beaten by the algorithm 😫. Thanks for the support and we are trying to keep the ads to the absolute minimum
Haha yep I care! Thanks Adam for sharing these tips
Cheers Daniel, happy to share what we learnt. I guess I'll tell larissa she was wrong this time 😅
Love the honest interaction between you and your kid, so regognizable.
Thanks so much for the positive support. We filmed our our lap of Australia, real, dirty, highs and lows. Not a edited all glossy film to just get views. Thanks for appreciating a real trip 👍
Well done Adam.
Not rambling. Always looking for tips and tricks to make life on the road that little bit easier.
Keep up the great info.
Look forward to the next one.
Thanks Andy, larissa owes me a 🍺, the little things always goes unmentioned yet we depend on them so much
I agree, half the fun is the planning/preparation. Helps me get through the working week knowing that i got something to look forward to.
Definitely, it's the only way I get through a working week, knowing a adventure is on the horizon. Thanks for the support and watching 👍
Yes mate we do care lol and thanks again for putting the time in to make this handy clip.keep it up.love to see a unpack video of stuff you took and never used
Funny you mentioned that, you'll love the video I'm working on for next week. Cheers Greg for your support
Good on you mate. I've enjoyed your vids a lot and I've already got good ideas for my van from this. Cheers.
Thanks Colin, happy to help out and share what we learnt.
You’re not rambling…..great list. Plenty of things most of us wouldn’t think of
Cheers
Thanks 4B for the support, though I should share these items because they are so cost effective and make life so much easier on the road
❤good tips

Hobby and an obsession!! great tips I have the same magnetic security lights and hardly ever use the strip lights on the outside of our trailer anymore 3xAA last forever!
Thanks Carl, I told larissa other travellers will appreciate these tips, she owes me a 🍺.
Great video to capture the start of your school holiday adventures

Your doing well mate keep up the tips. Every1 needs a hobby at least ur hobby can help others.👍
Thanks Kim, I do really appreciate the support and positive feedback 😀. We've been doing this sort of travelling for year and something that might be obvious for other travellers might be something mind blowing to a newcomer.
Yes mate we do care.thanks for another great clip.might pay to leave the girls towels wet for a few time and they will soon care lol
🤣 that's a great idea 💡. They were getting jealous from not having my undivided attention. Thanks for the support Greg
I love hearing what peoples little essentials are, when you find those key things, it makes travelling that bit better. Thanks for sharing!
No problems Vince, though we should share some of what we learnt from life on the road
We all forget the important little things - please keep the videos coming 👍
Thanks Mark, so good to hear people appreciate what we've learnt from life on the road
I care.. love watching and catching up on the old vids...
I'm in the same it's a hobby and obsession.. takes the mind away from work
Thanks Daniel, it's a great passion and all that extra effort usually means a more streamlined trip 😁
Great Tips Adam. Love watching your videos every week. I always learn something new. Sensor lights are now on our list.
Thanks so much Kristy. Happy to help others anyway we can, especially showing you don't need a mega expense setup to have a amazing experience
Care! good video ! some great ideas ! I find that all the smalls items cost $$ can add up to the cost of one of the big ticket items . eg winch or something like that .. then the next part of the puzzle is where to find all the usuable storage space to keep these items and still have them in a practical usuable location .
So true Brent, everything has to be easy to get to otherwise you just don't use it.
Very helpful thank you.

Snow peak ground pegs are great, used then in rock hard ground never failed. Also the copper headed hammer is a perfect accessory.
Thanks Andrew, I'll have to look into that 😀
Quite enjoyed this video, thanks for doing it. We've graduated to caravanning so some of your tips aren't relevant to us anymore, but back in the day, very useful.

Well done. Your efforts and contributions are appreciated
Thanks mate, great motivation to keep going
Yep very good, keep these up. I didn't think about some of the items that you spoke about so I'm happy you did 👍👍

Great work Steven. The more prepared you are, the more relaxing the trip can be.
@@GoingOverland I literally spent yesterday playing in my trailer. I fitted a few bibs and bobs, including some bungee cord hanging racks like you mentioned. Let's see if we use them now.
So helpful! As many posts like this you can think of would be fabulous
Thanks Rebecca for your support and positive feedback 😀
Some good tips there Adam. Usually is the little things that get overlooked on any trip👍
I know, that's what I thought. But the little things can really make a difference to being comfortable
Aw, I care. Great tips, thanks
Thanks mate, guess I'll be telling Larissa she was wrong this time 😆
Ever so important!! Thanks for the tips bloke Cheers.
Thanks Steve, great to hear people getting something out of our experiences. Good motivation to keep going
Great vid/idea's mate well done that should help a lot of people out.
No you weren't rambling on.:)Thanks
Thanks Doug for the support, I'm going to tell larissa how wrong she was 🤣
Good shit mate !! Awesome tips...you're not rambling ...its all good stuff to be aware of and gets us ahead before you get out there somewhere and need something...gettin ready to do something like this over here in NZ maybe not 6 months tho...that would be awesome....cheers
Thanks Graig for the support, got to say NZ is definitely on our bucket list. It looks stunning over there!
Thanks, great idea here
Thanks Dylan, happy to help others with what we learnt from life on the road 😀
Thought you were going to use the pool noodle to put around a 25 L bucket and make a toilet.Silicone , Duct tape and some wire are a must for a quick fix.Silicone is good for ripped tents or clothes,etc.A 40cm small Weber kettle bbq fits in a milk crate when travelling and keeps the fire off the ground and uses less timber and an old ironing board is light.adjustable height and makes a great table ! Happy camping 😀😀Dont forget the toilet paper🤣
Thanks JJ, all great tips 👍. Sounds like you are a seasoned traveller
You are the number one man,l have taught you well. Saying that don't forget to change your Jerry taps to snap type and always take a milk crate with you.
😄 thanks mate
Ramble on some more all great ideas thanks , like the lights and water tanks\protection , we have supa pegs and screw pegs as we live in the north of WA and yes the ground is hard , as before please keep up the great work .
Thanks Terry for your support, happy to help other travellers out with what we learnt. Cheers mate
We care, thanks for the video
Cheers Josh, it's amazing how much those little items make life easier on the road 😀
Definitely not rambling and very harsh from the family …ha ha enjoyed it very helpful . I bought into the hype on the screw pegs and agree the supa pegs are a great option cheers Mark
Thanks Mark, they were jealous that my attention was completely on them😆, I'll go tell larissa she was wrong 😉
All good ideas mate. I'm after a stove wind break myself for my camper. Didn't know you can buy them. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Fred, glad we can help others. A heavier wind guard is also better because it won't blow over, that one from anaconda was really good
Brilliant

Thanks Trevor for the support 👍
Some good tips, instead of pegs I made a peg less clothes line from 6mm Bungy Cord from Bunnings 3 x 10mtr Rolls plated together and a couple of Caribeena’s , wife loves it.
Sounds good, I'll have to try it out 👍
Thank you so much what a great review so helpful loved watching
Thanks for watching, happy to help others out, not just trying to get money out of people's pockets. It's amazing how the little things can make life on the road comfortable
Great video 😊 👍

I found the alloy military tent pegs are the best and indestructible. (US Genuine Military Surplus Camping Tent Stakes) cheers
Great idea, I'll have to look into it. Cheers
