Geez li remember this series when it came out 3 years or so ago. It was this series that made me wonder if I could transit the Simpson Desert. Crossed the desert around 3 weeks ago. Forgot about this series at the timer and RUclips started playing aGAin for me. Brought back great memories. The temperatures and conditions, the stresses on the car, just great memories. Love your videos Ronny. Mick
The Drone Shots from time slot 11:12 to 11.59 during Golden Hour with the Dune Ridges Lateral to Path of Travel are Truly Amazing. Great work Team Ronnie. Keep it up. Am soaking the sights n views half a world away from you all. Dreaming n Drooling. N Truly Thanking You for making me Travel on These trips with u all in Spirit for sure. Always looking forward to your Trips. Hope some day can make it in Person as well.
He does do a lot of photography out on these trips, he has a page for them but I can’t remember it off the top of my head... If he offered them in print I would definitely buy one, of if I could get the file even and take it to the local printing company.
Hey Ron, beautiful soundtrack to the setting sun over the Simpson. And a top notch quality production. I could watch the Slowmo Simpson footage endlessly.
Great to see all this footage in this series as we’ve not long completed a lot of this in a convoy of 7 vehicles Makes you want to pack up and go again
Fantastic stuff Ronnie I’ve just been through my fortnightly clean out of gear weight I don’t need to carry. Surprising how it all adds up. You all (except maybe Wayne?) always seem heavier than necessary. Can I ask what you all weigh fully loaded? Have you done GVM upgrades?
I’m at 11:00 and had to stop to share some screenshots with some friend 😏 The scale of that desert is unbelievable. If you would drive 10km off that track, you could probably spend the rest of your life without seeing another person ever again.
Newy rat If you’re not prepared for such action.. yes. But if you have a month supply of food and water and a satnav to find your way back to the track, it should be ok for that month. Not a whole life of course.. i just meant to say how isolated that place is.
fowletm1992 People have done it relatively recently on foot i read on en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_Desert,_South_Australia . Just some cart they pull to carry their supplies. That must be an amazing experience but also very dangerous at the same time. One accidental heatstroke and you’re eaglefood.
@@Engineer9736 We offern see bike riders on our trips though the outback Usually solo with a big backpack Only ever seen one walker and he had a push cart The bike riders are offern doing epic rides I guess they like the chalenge Met a bloke in coober peady who had riden from Adelaide Was going to go up the birdsville track then up to Catherine and to Darwin and around to perth back across the nullabour Was going to take him 2 yrs
around 31 -32 minutes when he is talking about his back being cold in the cot. Here in the US when winter camping in below freezing temps I use a mattress pad and that always keeps me warm.
You should definitely consider taking some of those aerial shots from the golder hour and making them into a calendar. And combine them with some other pics of your rigs. I love these videos. One day I'll move to Australia for some time and I'm gonna explore the shit out of it.
Thermal air mattress (Exped) would be great in your bunker tent 👍🏻 We swapped out our foam mattress in our swag this winter. Much more compact and never looked back 😀
I want to invite you with your friends to Algerian Desert (Hoggar) you'll find it very amazing, with your land cruisers, but it's too far from Australia... Very very nice video Ronny, nice friends and good Land cruisers that's all....
10.10........that is an epic piece of drone footage. Ive flown over this desert many times on long haul flights and it does seem really hard country. Seems so unlikely that there is any kind of track there at all.
Thanks for this latest installment. Your friend in the camp cot - his insulation is compressing under him, like it does in a hammock. The solution is insulation under the cot, however he can suspend it.
The bunkers are fine if your mattress has a good enough R value or tog rating and same with your sleeping bag. I have a bunker and have done lots of hammock camping below 0 and it’s been fine.
I don’t know about RUclips’s statistics, but maybe a large part of the viewers hasn’t got a RUclips account. Or maybe the video is embedded on some website.
Hey Ronny, big fan and respect all that you and the team at 4Wheeling Australia do for 4WD culture and education here in Australia, keeping it up. During the winch recovery in the first couple of minutes of footage, you didn't go to a double line pull off the back of Baby Bear? Given the combined weight of your 'cruiser with the DOT4, in retrospect, would this have been a safer, admittedly slightly slower and less demanding on the gear/car's? The loads were evident when you backed off, you knew to duck down in the cab. Anyway, glad it went well for all concerned! Keep up the good work.
Good question mate, I went for a single line as I didn’t feel I was that bogged but I was wrong. Should gone double straight up and will consider this in future more given I’m towing more these days
I'm in the same boat, towing a small camper (Still 1.5t loaded, plus 3.2t vehicle) these days and use double line almost exclusively (12,000lb winch). Was interesting to see the difference tyre pressures make and that even with many years experience, we all make errors and underestimate loads. We're never too experienced to learn, make errors of judgements, even let complacency sneak its ugly head in. Appreciate all your hard work and continuing drive to improve the safety and culture around 4Wheeling in WA & Oz.
Im really surprised you made such a rookie mistake on tyre pressures Not taking into account the warming effect ??? In the morning, we could stand on the side of our tyres with out feet, they were that bagged out... But we didn't touch them, just started driving for the day. They come back to pressure No one ever got bogged once on our crossing, but you were very heavy with the 79 dual cab and a trailer.... good effort
That was due to a few factors: #1 the trailer had pretty much zero suspension #2 Wayne had zero shocks #3 Torbens bushes were old and have done a lot of work #4 the track was rough however from heavy use.
@@torbs_littlebear I want to do a similar setup with my 2 meter antenna. When I ask around over here(usa) fellow HAMs tell me don't do it bc I'll be losing my ground plane and it will alter the antenna's effect on the signal spread. KC2BUN
I have change my aerial positions around since we filmed this series. I now have a aerial on each furthest point of the bull bar as the aerials where to close to each other and cancelled each other out even when switched off plus I was getting no signal behind
Ok so they where directing the signal forward, in essence turning the rig into a big beam aerial. My choice for front mount is to limit limb strikes. On the roof my aerial hits every tree limb. The Xterra is nearly 2.4 meters tall without the aerial, the aerial is 40inchs tall. The same aerial blew out the back glass one morning home from work, that wasn't a good day. I've always liked the look and now its practical really, I think I can live with the directional nature of the mounting location.
A few hours before the misses is up, coffees made. its going to be a good start to my Sunday.

Ronny ..the videography between 9:35 - 12:15 is the most spectacular I have ever seen......I am just speechless

The aerial shots; esp. when there is dust behind the three vehicles are real art pieces. Should consider shooting some, print and sell.
Stunning aren't they. They remind me of the sand ripples in surf - just a much grander scale.
The golden hour drone footage is tourism advertising quality, amazing.
He does do a lot of photography out on these trips, he has a page for them but I can’t remember it off the top of my head...
If he offered them in print I would definitely buy one, of if I could get the file even and take it to the local printing company.
Maybe Ronny will reply/announce when he is ready.
Drone footage was brilliant. What an amazing trip.
Honestly these video's are amazing. It's an epic experience just following along. Makes me want to come to Australia and run the Simpson
Thanks Ronny, loads and loads of dust, but the scenery and companionship is worth it, cheers!👍
Awesome! Thanks for all the work taking us along for the ride.
Hey Ron, beautiful soundtrack to the setting sun over the Simpson. And a top notch quality production. I could watch the Slowmo Simpson footage endlessly.
Better and better every time. The shots are EPIC!
cheers mate
Those were some beautiful drone shots.
Brilliant Ronny, Cheers.
Beautiful scenery! Entertaining episode.
Drone footage of trucks coming in formation on that dusty road is out of this world! Cheers from the Arabian desert.
You've outdone yourself Ronny! Simply spectacular photography so skillfully edited!! Those drone shots WOW!!!!
Thanks Ronny. Great piece of work. Made for the big screen those shots!
Love the morning shot at camp 1a. The silence is deafening....
Great to see all this footage in this series as we’ve not long completed a lot of this in a convoy of 7 vehicles
Makes you want to pack up and go again
Those dust shots are freaking awesome
Still saturday night in Berlin / Europe. I love watching your vids mate.
Incredible footage of the dunes. Sublime!
totally great trip guys, love to see some outtakes Ronny at the end of vids like this one. Thanks Rolly
Fantastic stuff Ronnie

Was no track once apon a time
Plenty of people crossed the desert without maps
But not for the inexperienced

We offern see bike riders on our trips though the outback
Usually solo with a big backpack
Only ever seen one walker and he had a push cart
The bike riders are offern doing epic rides
I guess they like the chalenge
Met a bloke in coober peady who had riden from Adelaide
Was going to go up the birdsville track then up to Catherine and to Darwin and around to perth back across the nullabour
Was going to take him 2 yrs
Ronny the aerial drone footage at the 10.30 mark is breath taking, I cannot wait to get there next year. Keep up the great work
One of the best yet guys. The Simo is awesome. Bet those beers tasted good.
mate those beers were epic after all that :D
around 31 -32 minutes when he is talking about his back being cold in the cot. Here in the US when winter camping in below freezing temps I use a mattress pad and that always keeps me warm.
Golden hour and the bulldust shots👌👌 wow
Wow, wow, wow. Magnificent work Ronny!
Cheers mate, we actually lost 50gb of footage that day off the main camera
Guess you will have to do the whole trip again then .......
Haha not for a while
Hi Guys great trip I have travailed the same tracks but sitting and seeing you do them makes me want to go again
Epic journey. Thanks for the videos
Hey mate I drove past you the other day at a park. Didn't even yell out as I was that stunned to see it was actually you and your ute haha.
21:50
Anyone who has been hammock camping knows that feeling.... Cold back. A foam roll mat can fix that in a jiffy!
Great Drone footage guys, thanks as I am doing the Simpson in a few weeks.
Absolutely awesome video. We do the Simpson in a few days west to east. Thanks for the footage. Stay safe.
If there was a specific reason that photographic drones were invented, this is it! Abosolutely magnificent footage.
Awesome aerial photography. 👍🏻
Really nailed the drone footage on this one ☝️ awesome 👏🏼 sand dune golden hour clips and the rigs in the bull dust are fantastic
Cheers mate, was awesome on the ground at the same time
Are you guys at the 4wd show this year ?
Yes, we are in Adelaide Oct 26 to 28 and then Perth Nov 9-11
You should definitely consider taking some of those aerial shots from the golder hour and making them into a calendar. And combine them with some other pics of your rigs. I love these videos. One day I'll move to Australia for some time and I'm gonna explore the shit out of it.
Coffee’s made. Time for some Ronny and the team 👍
Stunning! I don't know what else to say.
Greetings from Bavaria!
Missing your dad and his jeep though....
Yes another great video and i love the sound off the v8 diesel
Wow that footage from the drone 👌🏽
My dad and his mates where the care takers of old andado station for a few months, they really enjoyed it
Thermal air mattress (Exped) would be great in your bunker tent 👍🏻

Great effort team. Nice work.
Awesome footage very jealous. Your mates mjolnir tattoo is cool too.

Epic drone shots.
Great video Ronny & crew :)
Your early this is my Sunday morning viewing.
lol rich.. you could just not watch it for 12 hours
888johnmac saved it for my lazy morning in bed with a coffee watching.
Great Vid. Cheers lads
the group you met at about 9-30.. would have been funny if they were you tube content makers also, and the drone shots about 27mins.... epic
Expedition Overland is doing the Simpson right now
It is great as ever production.
Sad thing is only two episodes left in this adventure. 5/5 & 6/5
Thanks for this latest installment. Your friend in the camp cot - his insulation is compressing under him, like it does in a hammock. The solution is insulation under the cot, however he can suspend it.
killer drone shots
The bunkers are fine if your mattress has a good enough R value or tog rating and same with your sleeping bag. I have a bunker and have done lots of hammock camping below 0 and it’s been fine.
29:00 Wish I cracked one open with you all. What a good group of guys. Cheers!
Hi mate, just wondering what’s the door arm rest storage thingy in Little Bear at about 26:00minute mark? Look great.
Magnificent series -- thanks. Hey Ronny, rookie question, but how, where and when do you organise permits?
724 views at the moment and only 91 likes? Don't be so stingy with your "likes" people, they don't cost a thing.
I don’t know about RUclips’s statistics, but maybe a large part of the viewers hasn’t got a RUclips account. Or maybe the video is embedded on some website.
Hey! What happened to my $10.00?
08:10 they both put their hands on their hips at the exact same time lol
Torbs is the funniest!!!
that old land cruiser had only done 104085kms as it was in miles :P last digit at the end is meters correct me if i am wrong :P 24:45
Hi Ronny.great vids mate.what brand exhaust do you guys have .Thanks
Spectacular drone footage!
I have been wondering, do you use polarising or neutral density filters on your drone?
What you use? What brand?
Have a great overlanding
I reckon if you had of put fuel in those old cruisers they would've cranked over
yes they would have started as Toyos do

Ronnie - how do you find your way on the track out there? It seems hardly discernible from the surrounding terrain!
Hahaha 😄 21:31 "i'm awake now!
Hi, very very nice video I especialy liked at 00:22 to 00:23...
Im really surprised you made such a rookie mistake on tyre pressures
Not taking into account the warming effect ???
In the morning, we could stand on the side of our tyres with out feet, they were that bagged out... But we didn't touch them, just started driving for the day.
They come back to pressure
No one ever got bogged once on our crossing, but you were very heavy with the 79 dual cab and a trailer.... good effort
Cheers mate, we all make mistakes sometimes, took me 3 dunes to work it out.
Check out our range of TPMS system! Aussie owned and operated, would love the feedback www.digoptions.com.au
👍👍
20:10
What on earth happened to those noodles? 🤣
Whats the average mpg @15kph?!
E 6/5 will cover that :D
you should send that rusted shifter off to My Mechanics
After seeing this i would not go on this trip, all that crazy wear on the equipment and vehicles D:
That was due to a few factors:
#1 the trailer had pretty much zero suspension
#2 Wayne had zero shocks
#3 Torbens bushes were old and have done a lot of work
#4 the track was rough however from heavy use.
I've never seen canned Jim beam before
just curious, your channel url ends with 666, was it intentional or just kept it to look cool
just a number mate 777 wasnt free at the time so 666 it was.
Why would you put the heaviest vehicle in the front?
The heaviest vehicle happens to be the navigator and pace setter.
What brand of winch are you guys using
Im running the new warn zeon platinum and Ronny is running a older model warn and if I remember correctly Wayne has a iron man winch
Ronny who is your radio guy? I have a few questions about mounting to the bull bars.
We have all done our own setups but more than happy to help with your questions as I've been doing alot of research on this lately
@@torbs_littlebear I want to do a similar setup with my 2 meter antenna. When I ask around over here(usa) fellow HAMs tell me don't do it bc I'll be losing my ground plane and it will alter the antenna's effect on the signal spread.
