Mate , I am probably nieve, but for those of us who really enjoyed intents and now your reviews I will trust that you will be honest with us, especially giving a heads up prior to the review. I reckon take what they will offer .... we will understand... you are the one doing the hard work, not us.
Nice to see a chill realistic camping video in comparison to all the other dramatised camping youtube videos out there. Perfect watch for a relaxing sunday morning, love it
I think the thing I like most about your reviews is that they are entirely factual- you’re not saying “this is too expensive etc.” Because everyone’s financial situation is different. You could be loaded and live full time in a caravan which means a $250 chair is not an issue. Whereas if you’re an apprentice who camps 3 times a year go and get a $15 2nd handy from Marketplace. But you’ll clearly show the pros and cons and what you’re getting for your extra money. And don’t worry I’ll keep loading you up with gear to review
Thanks maaaate! Yeah exactly. Staying factual is something I'm actually finding to be the biggest challenge, trying not to bash or over hype things and just present them for what they are
The manual grinding of coffee, plus brewing in an Aeropress, is one of my favourite camp rituals as well., only made better by boiling water on a campfire. Loving the new content, but also loving the occasional video like this, that Intents sticker on the back of the truck isn't going anywhere soon (except on a trip)
OMG! Your Corolla Seca my first car. I still miss and wish I’d never got rid of it. Such a great little car with amazing fuel economy. Can’t wait for that hatch camping trip.
I have a few camping set ups. My now "basic" set up has evolved to be less basic using an air swag (dometic pico 2x2) and an air gazebo (quest 3x3m) so it all fits in the boot of my little hatch daily driver. You can definitely camp out of a small car easily, just depends how much comfort you want as well.
G'day Camper. Great to see you on tube again for another episode. Love how you have a no fuss experience out there. There's something comforting in having cereal out camping. I barely eat cereal at home but it's an easy go to when I'm out camping. My grandfather had the same Engel back in the 80s that eventually found its way to my dad before all 3 passed away from old age and a happy life. Now I have my own 80 litre Engel fridge that's probably overkill for the size but always gets filled up when I use it. Handy tip for fridges. If they seem to not be getting cold or not working too good. Empty it out and leave it upside down powered off for a couple of days. Helps to dry it out if any ice has built up around the fan and seems to help the motor out somehow. Cheers camper
Love this concept on reviews whilst camping mate just seem to flow really well and found my self more engaged, something about an honest review whilst actually using the product for real.
No fridge yet... I use a dometic 33 litre icebox and 2×frozen 1.5l water bottles. They fit perfectly & will keep milk/ food cool for a weekend(Wilbinga, Yaegerup) without getting wet.
Awesome little twinky dink Corolla! I had a later AE93 Seca SX with the 'big port' for many years, and loved it. One of my biggest regrets was selling that car and I still keep a lookout in case a nice one ever comes up for sale 🙂
Haha hatch back camping, can't wait. Love seeing people get out in what ever they've got. I have done a couple trips in my 2 door Getz 😂. Strategically packed there but putting all gear back in was another story😂 Look forward to the bonus ep
For me I did 10 years with an esky and loved the ice for drinks. the cheap gas cooker from supercheap is now 20 years in and is better than that pricy unit you have. I do like that awning so will check it out. Thanks for taking all the flys over to the west,
Yes, you can't beat ice for drinks! It's a whole other level of experience. Agree on the Butane Stove, if not for the quirky design and tiny size, I'm all about the 30 buck (bloody inflation) kmart cooker
Something that might be really interesting for the kings review might be figuring out if you started with a kings swag, add the cost of the seam sealer as per previous video and the a replacement/second mattress where it would match up cost and performance wise. E.G. a Darche Swag is currently $450 at BCF (as of 23/11/2024) but you could buy a kings swag with a bag for $108.95 (as of 23/11/2024), Seam grip for $18 (Tent world) and Darche's own mattress for $139.90 (Snowy's as of 23/11/2024). Putting the full cost in the ball park or $270, still heavily undercutting the $450 Darche by a 40% ($180)
Yeah, eskys work, most towns have ice if you need it. I used to camp in a Datsun sports - like an MG. Basic equipment, but it worked great. Even towed a dinghy with it. Cheers Alex
Hahaha, lost it at the what keeps you occupied segment. Really enjoying your videos. And you've reminded me I need to replace my stock of heavy duty tent pegs (long story). Not sure if they have the Estwing "Fireside Friend" short handled splitting maul in Oz but it's become my go to combo splitter and 2kg beating-things-back-into-shape hammer. Also less scary for non-axe-competent friends who just want to have a chop.
In my opinion, If you find a nice product you really think is cool and useful. And request from the manufacturer to give you one for a positive review. That's fine as long as you pick the product you want to show to the audience. And everyone is happy!
This was a lot of fun. The joy of finding the mozzie gear, a great meal, and I look forward to watching your review of the swag. Pretty area, but sad to hear about all the die back near the forests.
As a 70 year old girl with OA, I still like to camp. Those epic trips on UA-cam are out of reach for me. I like the way you keep it real. I really enjoyed this one!
Great video again keep up the good work, can't wait to see the next one. Would be cool to see your thoughts on the coleman or a different brand petrol stove, I have been using one for about a year now, and it has made things a lot simpler, as living out bush can make getting the gas canisters a bit hard. Plus spare petrol makes fire lighting easy lol
Hey Alex, been watching since you were Intents. I primarily do Adventure bike moto camping so definitely no fridge😂. I use a mix of hiking and regular camp gear. It's amazing how many things you don't need when you refine your setup over and over. I agree with the grinding beans thing at camp although I use a Bialetti Moka pot rather than an aeropress. There are genuine ($30-$40) and knockoff aswell ($15). Give it a try if you haven't...
Yeah we've been experimenting with the Bialetti a bit lately too. I can't believe how expensive the Aeropress has got! I do love getting into the hiking gear a bit, but I tend to leave it off this channel, it tends to be its own niche
Always interesting to see what gear is out there. I have frequently thought about getting a Jetboil but the price has always put me off. The 'knock off' version looks a lot more realistic price wise.
To be honest, i dont think I'd mind if you were given kit to review. As long as it's fair and balanced, pros and cons list as you always do. If you're given equipment but aren't tied to solely positive review, unless it is that good !! No reason you can't make a bit of money out of this. Buying equipment is a costly exercise, and borrowing has it's limits. Edited, the Kids were annoying me and now I have some quiet time! Fixed some spelling and expanded my comment. Keep up the good work 👍
6:04 "You can carry apples they tend to last pretty well in a box" : ) I've been wondering what happened to camping with folks bringing all these stuff outdoors to watch a movie or their electric coffee makers... appreciate your sense of humor!
I'm excited to share! A 1986 AE82 Seca with 180,000ks on it! Factory 16 valve 4AGE, full grandpa spec except for the biggest cams I could fit on factory internals, extractors and a sports exhaust 😁
Send jake to do the walk trail 😂😂. Epic out there in winter, stayed a few nights, fire, rums there dryandra forrest also, the wild life ia wild possum, bilbys, roos birds etc. I loved my old oztent chair, although as i get older i like to sit up striaght, so opted for a dune 4wd one that can recline and up straight for eating dinner.
I'm feeling ya on the chair! Still got a crook back a week later and I'm staring down the barrel of a week slouched in camp chairs 😄 I always mean to get out to dryandra for more camps...maybe next year
I don't rate the Engel. We had them in our vehicles when I was in the Army. They kept having issues with the 12/240 v systems. Had a Waeco for over 20 years. Done some tough trips. Never had a single problem.
The army is certainly a good test for a fridge too, thanks for the info! We were a bit concerned getting a Waeco because at the time we heard a lot of tales of them failing. But we've had one going strong in our camper trailer for 8 years now
@Camping_reviews I am a rough bastard I tapped it too hard on a tree when cleaning it, the only frisbee I have is a rubber "Kong" version for my dog it's unbreakable..
I think the thing I like most about your reviews is that they are entirely factual- you’re not saying “this is too expensive etc.” Because everyone’s financial situation is different.

So glad you are back on UA-cam. I really missed you and Seek Adventure. Two great authentic channels
@@Lamojamo1 thank you! 😊
@@Lamojamo1 yeah Mike and seek adventure was a great channel, lov to know how he’s doing
Nice to see a chill realistic camping video in comparison to all the other dramatised camping youtube videos out there. Perfect watch for a relaxing sunday morning, love it

I always enjoyed the camping trips on intents, particularly the pilbara series. Its good stuff, tanks for coming back.

Loving the new content, but also loving the occasional video like this, that Intents sticker on the back of the truck isn't going anywhere soon (except on a trip)

Seems like there's a few good gear tips there for my own hatchback camping in the future! I don't have a lot of experience with it
Good job mate. The content, dry humour and length of the video was spot on.
G'day Camper. Great to see you on tube again for another episode. Love how you have a no fuss experience out there. There's something comforting in having cereal out camping.

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed that one. Def do an occasional solo in the mix of reviews in future. Thank you for the effort 🙌🏻

Love to see a Corolla camp!
No fridge yet... I use a dometic 33 litre icebox and 2×frozen 1.5l water bottles. They fit perfectly & will keep milk/ food cool for a weekend(Wilbinga, Yaegerup) without getting wet.
Very good sir! Numbat territory out that way - I’m dying to see one 😃
Awesome little twinky dink Corolla! I had a later AE93 Seca SX with the 'big port' for many years, and loved it. One of my biggest regrets was selling that car and I still keep a lookout in case a nice one ever comes up for sale 🙂
Thanks Alex, whatever you record is always interesting and informative.
bloody legend, good to see you again!
Haha hatch back camping, can't wait. Love seeing people get out in what ever they've got. I have done a couple trips in my 2 door Getz 😂. Strategically packed there but putting all gear back in was another story😂

I always meant to do some hatchback camps in my old Excel! But it broke before I could get it out there 🤣
I camped for years in my Getz.
For me I did 10 years with an esky and loved the ice for drinks. the cheap gas cooker from supercheap is now 20 years in and is better than that pricy unit you have. I do like that awning so will check it out. Thanks for taking all the flys over to the west,

I love this idea, I'll certainly include that in my review!
Yeah, eskys work, most towns have ice if you need it. I used to camp in a Datsun sports - like an MG. Basic equipment, but it worked great. Even towed a dinghy with it. Cheers Alex
A bottomless cake tin would work good as a wind breaker, just need to cut out a piece to get around the gas line.
That's a neat idea! I always see a few of them on op shop shelves too!
Mate, yes!!! This is absolutely brilliant.
Thanks a ton man!
@@Camping_reviews you know how pleased I am to see this whole thing you’re doing. Stoked man!
Hahaha, lost it at the what keeps you occupied segment. Really enjoying your videos. And you've reminded me I need to replace my stock of heavy duty tent pegs (long story).

Hey mate Im really enjoying your channel. Nicely paced and not extravagant :)
Thanks mate! Good to know I'm on the right track 🙂

Most helpful person on youtube. Cheers Alex
Cheers mate!
Enjoyed the video, it seemed like you were talking to someone sitting next to you at camp. Well done
Great to see you still have the patrol mate.
Yeah still working with it! Getting a bit rough around the edges now but still pretty reliable
This was a lot of fun. The joy of finding the mozzie gear, a great meal, and I look forward to watching your review of the swag. Pretty area, but sad to hear about all the die back near the forests.
My first "SuperTourer" was a Corolla hatchback too 🤣
As a 70 year old girl with OA, I still like to camp.
Those epic trips on UA-cam are out of reach for me.
I like the way you keep it real. I really enjoyed this one!
There is soooo much beauty within a few hours of home, but they don't get the views on youtube so not many show them 🙁
Trip video? It was inevitable 😄. Keep em coming mate.
Haha! Yep they will be few and far between. So much work! And very little views (compared to channels doing more epic trips)
I loved this definitely keen to see some more!
11:59 Crushed it 🙌
Great video again keep up the good work, can't wait to see the next one.
Would be cool to see your thoughts on the coleman or a different brand petrol stove, I have been using one for about a year now, and it has made things a lot simpler, as living out bush can make getting the gas canisters a bit hard.
Plus spare petrol makes fire lighting easy lol
Great video Alex I’ll be checking out the camp master jet boil knock off to boil my water.
I bought camp master after seeing mate with 1. Great addition to camp setup. Quick easy cheap and available.👍
Loved this video format!
Hey Alex, been watching since you were Intents. I primarily do Adventure bike moto camping so definitely no fridge😂. I use a mix of hiking and regular camp gear. It's amazing how many things you don't need when you refine your setup over and over. I agree with the grinding beans thing at camp although I use a Bialetti Moka pot rather than an aeropress.

Yeah we've been experimenting with the Bialetti a bit lately too. I can't believe how expensive the Aeropress has got! I do love getting into the hiking gear a bit, but I tend to leave it off this channel, it tends to be its own niche
The excitement of Tuesday blew me away. 😂🎉
Great video!
Always interesting to see what gear is out there. I have frequently thought about getting a Jetboil but the price has always put me off. The 'knock off' version looks a lot more realistic price wise.
great relaxed video to see all the equipment tin action
Mate good to see you back 😊 but your review on the Engel fridge they maybe good back in the day but the new one are shit..
Great work
Yip loving the reviews buddy, camping videos are informative and inspiring, I have a campmaster boiler, $50 does the same as the jetboil extravaganza
To be honest, i dont think I'd mind if you were given kit to review. As long as it's fair and balanced, pros and cons list as you always do.
If you're given equipment but aren't tied to solely positive review, unless it is that good !!
No reason you can't make a bit of money out of this. Buying equipment is a costly exercise, and borrowing has it's limits.
Edited, the Kids were annoying me and now I have some quiet time!
Fixed some spelling and expanded my comment. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks
Super thanks for the super thanks! 👌 🙂
WOOOOOO!!!!! #10 loving the content mate ❤
Thanks mate!

HOLY SHIT! that corolla, WE NEED DETAILS!!!!!!
I'm excited to share! A 1986 AE82 Seca with 180,000ks on it! Factory 16 valve 4AGE, full grandpa spec except for the biggest cams I could fit on factory internals, extractors and a sports exhaust 😁
Fantastic review, can't wait for the next couple, typical Alex filming the 10th releasing as the 11th
Haha 100% me all over, always shooting and editing the day before release 🙄
@Camping_reviews It is what makes you, you and so relatable
Send jake to do the walk trail 😂😂.
Epic out there in winter, stayed a few nights, fire, rums there dryandra forrest also, the wild life ia wild possum, bilbys, roos birds etc.

I broke my aeropress 😞
Daaaamn you must press HARD. I heard that the person who invented the frisbee also invented aeropress. Are frisbees safe in your hands? 😅
@Camping_reviews I am a rough bastard I tapped it too hard on a tree when cleaning it, the only frisbee I have is a rubber "Kong" version for my dog it's unbreakable..
I think the thing I like most about your reviews is that they are entirely factual- you’re not saying “this is too expensive etc.” Because everyone’s financial situation is different. You could be loaded and live full time in a caravan which means a $250 chair is not an issue. Whereas if you’re an apprentice who camps 3 times a year go and get a $15 2nd handy from Marketplace. But you’ll clearly show the pros and cons and what you’re getting for your extra money.
And don’t worry I’ll keep loading you up with gear to review
