Hi we have been traveling for 18 years 6 of those full time and have never had an issue safety wise great show keep up the good work
Good to hear
Lots of good information and helpful hints. Totally agree that having all the gear is one thing but having it readily available for all scenarios is really important.
You guys are so good at these info blogs, everyone seems to think so. You explain things well and you deal with the most relevant and important issues. I look forward to more of them from you guys. Thanks and all the very best.
Thanks so much!
Such great tips. That Emergency + app is such a great idea. Good security info to trust your gut on campsites too. You get more confident the more you do it. Be alert not alarmed!!!
Thanks guys. Great video. Loving this series!!! ❤
Great tips. We pick up our offgrid van later in the year and safety has always been in the back of my mind.
Glad it was helpful!
Good survival and safety blog. Definitely gives us a lot to think about being safe while caravanning.
Another fabulous info vid!! You guys are getting better and better!! Really appreciate what you are doing. Thank you!
Great to hear! It's our pleasure.
Great work as usual guys. These really are helping us get ourselves ready for our travels.
Love it! Cheers
Great series. Totally agree that Australia is one of the best countries for safety when travelling around. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more on your trips and especially your off grid series.
Thanks, will do!
As an emergency services worker I totally agree with all your info and advice. Especially the emergency plus app and ‘what 3 words’ that app makes it so easy for emergency services workers to locate you when needed in a hurry. Most of us are aware of it and have been trained in it. Using that app is so much easier and quicker for us than trying to work out gps co ordinates.
Great info guys. 👍🏻
That's great to know, thanks, Ben!
Thanks guys. That was very reassuring to hear and see. We are preparing for our first long trip into the outback, Perth regional to Cooktown region through the middle. We are now both retired and have a lot of experience caravanning but not remote off grid. This series has given us lots of good tips. Thanks. Glenn.
Our pleasure!
Thanks Simon and Liz. You have given us more to consider and organise for our retirement lifestyle.
Great to hear!
Well done guys you just won a subscription. Very informative, Thank you & safe travels. Cheers Kev.
Thank you Simon and Liz so many great tips especially when camping remotely. We already had the DO 35 hitch on the van and recently purchased a Zoleo with the In touch Plan for our half lap around the west. We are feeling very comfortable to travel now.
Our pleasure!
Thanks guys. Some very level-headed and pragmatic information you’ve shared. You continue to be a wonderful inspiration, and am looking forward to treading a similar path starting middle of the year.
Wow, thank you!
Excellent Simon and Liz.
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Great information- all of the questions that I would be worried about! Thank you 🙏
You are so welcome!
Great session guys - thanks very much for the down to earth comments and info. Much appreciated 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
I have used those first aid kits for years, now cannot remember how long. They are excellent and cost effective……So correct what you said. The best think is the layout……Every 2 yrs I check creams, add Band-Aid’s simple ones and larger ones (usually a simple pack from chemist with a selection). Replace anything that is out of date (that has an active ingredient in it). Is used for work but I use the same kit when bush. Has saved my eyes a couple of times on simple jobs of painting a fence and having paint flick into an eye etc. I have also added a couple of different size tampons as they are semi sterile and great for absorbing blood from a gushing cut or wound. They assist the rest of the kit.
Great to hear, thanks!
Thank you. Enjoying this series.
Glad to hear it!
Hi Folks, another great episode. Your early morning spot lost out to a game of golf with one of my sons today lol, but now watched. A good topic to cover, Im often being asked about how safe I am, especially as Im a solo traveller. Im always choosy about where I camp because of both the solo situation and my age, I try not to take unnecessary risks while at the same time enjoying the experience to the full. If I have the tent out, I only leave basic stuff in it if Im away hiking or touring with the attitude that if it gets taken it can be replaced. I always lock away or take, purse, ph etc with me. So far Ive always had good experiences.Cheers Cheryl
Great to hear, thanks Cheryl. Safe Travels!
Excellent video. I remember when my dad use to stay at Caravan parks and he said in areas there was a bad element that try to steal your stuff, and that was in caravan parks so I personally think there’s the risk of that anywhere.
For sure
Thanks for another great video. Will be on the road full time soon and you have answered a lot of questions we had.
Great to hear!
Great info guys, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this invaluable resource! The effort you guys put into these videos is very greatly appreciated that's for sure. We have downloaded the emergency app, and also been across to Survivor and ordered a few of their first aid kits. Have also subscribed to Everything Caravan and Camping's newsletter. Love you work, and your travels. THANK YOU. Kerryn
Great to hear, thanks Kerryn!
Another great video guys. Answered a lot of the questions my wife has been asking me for the past 12 months and has made her feel a little more at ease about off-grid and free camping in our hybrid camper trailer. Thanks again .... and I have subscribed to you guys and the newsletter for the comp!. Cheers - Hugh
That is awesome!
Excellent information guys. Really enjoying these how to vids.
Glad you like them!
Another fabulous video, something in the back of my mind when free camping but you guys just make good sense 😁👌
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the awesome tips, lots of things to consider while we get ourselves set up.

Amazing advice & tips. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels. Nicole & David :D
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing. We have been looking for a decent first aid kit that doesn't cost an😮 arm and a leg. We brought 2 different kits that complement each other. Plus, an extra saving with your sneaky discount code. Thank x
Great tips Simon & Liz. Down loaded the emergency app straight away. Been camping for over 20 years & when going out for the day, I would take valuables or lock them away!!! Never had a problem.
Thanks, Steve. Great to hear
Awesome video guys! I think you covered off on heaps here and something that we’ll be referring to in the future. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome video. Great information for our upcoming trip.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video legends some very practical advice - keep them coming 👏👌
Thanks, will do!
Well done guys, great informative video !!!
Thank you! 👍
Great Vid
Great info, very happy to ne a patreon when you guys do such good vids
Much appreciated!
Loved the video and agree with everything you said. We too do a lot of remote camping around the country, the one thing we make sure we do is not leave our keys, phones or wallets near open windows or doors, even during the night. If we're sitting under the awning the windows on the driver's side will be shut or at least on the first lock. If we're sitting away from the van door (visiting a neighbour), then screen is at least locked with a key. My theory is, if I can't see it then it's an opportunity for theft. We've never had a problem whilst camping but we have been robbed at home which has made me more security conscious. We also carry Whasp Spray so if we are physically threatened, we can defend ourselves none lethally and deescalate the situation. Again we agree with not using weapons. This was a very informative video, particularly for those who may not have the experience like you or us.
Thanks Debbie. All great tips and great to hear we're on the same page as other seasoned travellers!
Great stuff guys, lots of good stuff in there !
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your safety and security hints. 😊

Real good advice. I have a PLB mainly because I go to sea often on my own. The PLB lives in my Stormy life jacket (PFD). great thing is my wife bought it for me. So she wants me to stick around :).
Haha, love it!
thanks for your advise, as you i have thought of some items but in life they get left behind. some tips to take seriously.

Great vid. Lots of useful tips. ... One Day....
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi guys great video i have found that over the years if something is going to disappear it is usually when you are in a caravan park or large camping area all the best Ron
For sure! Thanks Ron
Enjoyed the vid pretty well set for most of it just waiting on new van and house to be sold then all the stuff we have bought in the last 10 months can be sorted to there spots cheers guys🍻
Good stuff!
Thanks guys, very informative video. Thank you
Our pleasure!
💕thanks for another great episode 💕
You are so welcome!
great safety n security tips 👍👍ty
No problem 👍
Interesting addition to your emergency comms section is that the Emergency Plus app (which I downloaded thanks to you) also includes your 3-word location at the bottom of the location section. There's no need to download the separate app. Great video by the way!
Yeah, it's super handy and easy
As older couple looking at a trip soon your video was "food for thought"
Love it!
Another great episode full of useful facts. I finally got off my arse and got the 1st Aid kits (outdoor bundle with snake kit) thanks for the discout code. Happy travels
Great to hear. Enjoy!
Our deal has always been - if one of us feels uncomfortable - MOVE - if you're both okay - cool
At 11:08. Awwwww. Simon , we know you just wanted Liz to ciuddle into you! 😘😊
Thanks for the systematic info.
😁
The WiTi system is brilliant - not only is it an alarm but it also locks the brakes. No ways the van can be moved with all four brakes locked up.
Love it great work so informative stay safe 👍.
Thanks, you too!
@The Lifestyle Pioneers no bull shit you too it was a great video, you have come such a long way bloody well done, regards to you an the bride from Wayne and Melissa bridges.
Great video guys, one I was looking forward to, you hit everything I was curious about & you are so right, Australia is such a safe country. Thank you for your honest & level headed video.
I have subscribed & signed up for the newsletter🤞🏼🤞🏼 you got to be it ur to win 🎉
See you next Sunday!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I. Free camped from Melbourne to Cape York to Darwin back to Melbourne NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. For 3 months. Have a off road trailer
Thanks guys for your thoughts and tips on this important subject. I agree people's tolerance will be different for each person/couple which you addressed well. As a nurse, I agree a well laid out kit that is stocked is important but I reckon go and do a first aid course so you know how to treat the illness/emergency with your kit. Looking forward to your next vid, cheers
I’ve recently completed a first aid course and completely agree. It was a life changer & well worth the $ for piece of mind.
Absolutely! We thought of this after we'd produced the video but we'll be sure to touch on keeping your first aid knowledge up to date in the next one. It's an important point.
Great clip guys. Put the app on my phone. Safe travels
Great to hear!
Excellent video! A lot of travellers will get some great tips from here. Concise and informative. And can you please lets know what your hiking pack is? Like the look of it.
Thank you! The one you see Simon wearing recently is a camera bag from Shimoda. It's relatively new and we're really liking it. We might do a video on it soon.
A personal locator beacon is great for a Medical rescue. Great video. Yes, you need to use common sense. In my 20s went camping. Came across a camp with bikies. So of course not , we kept going. Mobile phones today allow emergency calls if off the grid/phone reception. You can attach motion sensors on your van or tent or whatever. They dont cost much. Or if you are paranoid. Use a motion camera that has an audible alarm. Or an alert to your phone if you are in mobile range.
Thanks for sharing, Judith. It's worth mentioning that you won't be able to make emergency calls from your mobile when out of range in many places.
What 3 words. So interesting. I typed your location in and you are on the East Coast of Tas near Binalong Bay, north of St Helens. We are currently about 3 hours south of where you were, in Triabunna. We are going to the Sydney Caravan show to look at Titanium Caravans 😊
It's, so cool, hey!
Great video very informative. We're in it to win it.
Good luck!
Thanks for tips
We do alot of free camps/ donations.
If we don't fell good about a site, we just pack up and go.
Wiki camps comments r good to go by.
For sure!
Love love this one! We are heading off in May on our journey from Tassie and I’ve been very anxious not having done anything like this before. You guys have definitely put my mind at rest a lot and your knowledge has been so beneficial in helping us prepare. I feel a lot more confident. What is your link for the first aid kits? I was having trouble finding it and I definitely want you guys to benefit from my purchase. Love watching your travels. Thankyou! 😊
Thanks so much. That's great to hear. It reallly is an incredible country to explore!
