The upright fridge for us was a game changer actually. And we have been able to utilise the ‘dead space’ as storage for those things we don’t use on a daily basis. For living out of a car 24/7 for this length of time, the setup was ideal for us. I’m sure other setups work well for other people and other situations though :)

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll definitely take it on board for future videos 😀. And thanks heaps for taking the time to check out our channel! Music is definitely one of those interesting and challenging time warps that can almost take as long as editing the video to get the right fit and tell the right story. We’ll keep at it!

Thank you..That’s epic! You’ll have an awesome time. It’s definitely a cracker of a spot for drone shots. We use Adobe Premiere Pro 😀

There was a huge rut on the right side of that entrance to the river - difficult to see on the camera

Thanks so much mate! We can definitely say it tried and tested. We reckon you'll love it if its what you choose to go with. And thanks for subscribing :)

Thanks mate yeah it’s done well. It’s been everywhere we asked it to go and did a great job of it. We see quite a few around the beaten tracks!

Hey Sam! Yeah good question. When we were travelling full-time we just kept larger items up the back of the drawer that could still be reached (and that weren’t used a whole lot). Anything little just went into zip up canvas clear top bags that were also still big enough to reach. Anything small would obviously start getting had to reach if it was loose yeah :)

haha almost! It kept hanging round - eventually we just had to pretend it wasn't there :p

Thanks heaps!! :)

Thank you! :)

We had no issues with length or width fortunately. We are about 5.7ft-6ft and fit pretty comfortably. We are pretty used to sleeping in tents of various sizes over the years :)

Oh no that's a shame! We didn't seem to have any issues with the seals thankfully. We always like to have a bit of a mattress topper in any our tents as well! Haven't used the Ecosa before, might look into them :)

thanks!

Not that we can think of at the moment - pretty happy with it over the 12months :)

Thank you! Yeah we’re genuinely stoked with the gear - it made our trip so much easier and more comfortable so we wanted to share that with everyone. Thanks for watching 😀

It’s tempting hey 😂😂. Thanks for watching

So true. The Flinders is incredible! So are the beaches down there. We can’t wait to get back to SA 😀

Thank you! Yeah we are very happy with it. Thanks for watching 👌🏻

Anytime! Thanks for checking it out. We’re stoked with how well it’s done for us. Made our lives so much better on the road 😀

@@BorderlandExplorers Yeah a 12 month lap is the way to test something, thats for sure . Like the look and its build . When the time is right i think i will start with this set up. Great review . 😎👌

Thank you! This setup had served us so well 😀

Thanks so much for checking out the video and subscribing - we really appreciate it :) We will thanks! Definitely planning on heading back there, loved every second of it. haha yes agreed

Thanks so much! :) We run a 2000W Enerdrive Inverter and run a 700W microwave on it.

Aren't we! Loved this spot. Thanks so much for watching :)

We watched so many other videos of amazing sunrises! Definitely was disappointing we missed the views. Would love to go back and try again but by the sounds of what you're saying, might have to plan it really well :p We hadn't done a hike for a while so we found it a little challenging, and even more uncomfortable in the wind and rain haha. Good on you for carrying up so much camera gear!! Hope you have better luck on your next attempt. Thanks heaps for watching :)

@@BorderlandExplorers you have to get lucky the great southern is unique in that we are in a bit of a rain band here so you just have to get lucky. The problem is if you go up on a perfectly blue day it's quite uninspiring while you get great views you need some cloud cover to get the epic shots but as soon as you get cloud cover it can get very mercury very quickly it is a bit of the drawer really.

Thanks so much! We do love a good drone shot :p Especially with views like that. Appreciate you watching

Yeah we are :) Definitely held up over the last 12months

Yes I think tackling it in the dark not having ever seen it before made it very challenging. Sounds like we need to go back again for those views though! :) Thanks for watching!

​@@BorderlandExplorersdefinitely, not to be missed next time!

Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching :)

Aw thanks! Really appreciate this. Thanks for watching

Thank you! :)

We have seen it in other people's videos - looked pretty cool!

Thank you! :)

Thanks so much for watching! It definitely is a lovely place. :) Yeah we get what you're saying, it's a fine line between not wanting somewhere to become too popular and letting people know these amazing places exist so they can experience it for themselves

Glad it was helpful! We really like this bar :) Did well on the DMAX

Hi! Thanks heaps for watching. haha yes great idea - sounds like a great Christmas gift to each other this year :p Sounds good, would be great to see you out there

😊👍

Thanks so much :)

Thanks so much - we are really glad you enjoyed it :) Thanks for watching

Thanks! It's always exciting starting a new setup - good luck!

Hey! Thanks so much for watching and following along :) Honestly our big ticket gear items that we have held up so well. This was our first canopy ute setup (came from an old landcruiser setup) so we were actually so happy with how well it went. The canopy, suspension, barwork and tent we genuinely had no complaints with and definitely did the job with what we were putting the car through on our lap. Anything we would change (which there actually isnt too much) would be more from a design setup perspective based on decisions we made not related to product if that makes sense. A big one for us would be water storage. We currently carry 20L in a jerry and 40L in a footwell watertank that is just gravity fed. Would love to figure out a way to carry more in a more convenient location, whether that is somewhere in the canopy or a underbody tank etc. For now though, it's functional. But you would know what it's like, always looking for ways to make camping setups easier so you have more time around those campfires :p I like your idea about the videos - we might look at doing some more review videos in the future

You should know that facts are boring, better to bullshit and seek forgiveness later 😂

Yes you're right, and we did say that it wasn't technically built by convicts in the video. It seems to still be referred to by that name by a lot of people though. Seems to have had many names in the past: The Old Grafton Road Tunnel - The Dalmorton Tunnel - The Convict Tunnel. Using the name The Convict Tunnel just makes it easily recognisable to people :) Thanks heaps for watching!

@@BorderlandExplorers So you perpetuate incorrect history.

How good is it! No we didn't unfortunately - definitely going to add it to the list now then!! :)

Thanks heaps! :) Appreciate you watching

Thanks heaps for watching :) We get where you're coming from for sure. The tent is definitely heavier than some of the other options out there but we really didn't want to compromise on quality given we were living out of it day in day out. When setting up the canopy we have tried our best to distribute the weight to limit strain where we can. There's definitely a fine line between keeping the setup light (for 4WDing) and carrying everything you need when you're living out of a for a year (for touring). We definitely made sure to get a decent GVM upgrade and good quality suspension done and have made sure to not go overweight when loading the car up. Always something we are trying to keep in mind where we can. You're right though, always important to have a good mechanic keeping an eye on things! Thanks again for following along, we appreciate it! Matty and Em

Thanks heaps for watching! Sorry for the slow reply. We use the Rode Wireless Go II mics - really happy with them

Thanks :) Hope it was worth the wait!
