    My wife and I so enjoy watching your videos, we watch them on tv so no chance to drop in a comment. The reason we enjoy your channel is the calming and peaceful presentation and locations without the whoha.. Ps thanks for showing us the kitchen caddy.. we just ordered one for our GU which we are slowly setting up for touring..

    thanks for the info on the velcro - I have had an issue with my velcro adhesive melting in the heat (only affects the velcro that is stuck on the windows). Thought I had bought some good stuff from Bunnings but looks like i need to go back for the heavy duty stuff!

    Great vid mate, love my helinox chair, about 3 years old now maybe 4. At night you can simply slip the cover off and chuck it in the car , doesn’t matter if the frame gets wet and also can’t blow over. I’m up for a new uhf as well , had a uniden and it crapped itself now got a oricom and its no good either might just bit the bullet on a GME. Handheld is a top idea , wish Natasha was carrying our one when she fell as I didn’t know and kept driving for a bit 😬. I’m like you as i get older i think about things more and especially if your out by yourself. Thanks mate

    Great video mate, if I have one suggestion you need to keep your PLB in the front and easy to grab because if God forbid you have an accident and can't get out or into the back you can still get it. I keep mine in the front grab handle on the driver's side. 👌👍

    I am hanging out for something interesting to buy and for once I actually have a few spare $$$. Trouble is, I can't think of anything I really want. I have too much gear that I really can't use already but I was sorely tempted when I saw a 10 man tent on special at Aldi for just $99 and a swag for $129 ... I already have 3 tents and a beach shelter so I just couldn't do it. Also saw a great little cast iron cooker in Vinnes for $25! How did I manage not to buy that? Well I have more cookers and fire pits than I can poke a stick at :) Oh well, eventually I will find something... Those Survival first aid kits are excellent, we have had ours hanging from the rear roof handles since we bought them. Hope we never need them for anything serious but they are nice to have. We have the Aldi version of the Helonox chairs, not for me but the girls use it as a quick emergency seat if we forget to bring any of our 8 other charis... Yes I buy too much stuff LOL

    Cheers for the video, one idea for the first aid kits is to use Velcro tape and loop it on the cage and another loop on the kit the opposite sides facing each other. That way it's open the door and rip them off without any fiddling of caribina's. I have a role of it permanently in the car, as handy as zip ties but reusable. Cheers 🍺

    G'day Matty, the PLB is a awesome idea. I reckon with your solo travels out far and yonda it should be within arms reach from the drivers seat. You just never know.
    Adventure motorbike riders and bush walkers on the Tube generally have them on their self and not on a backpack incase they become separated after a fall.
    Love the chair, less wait and less bulk.

  • @OnCountryWithMick

    Some great gear there mate. I like that back door caddy for your gear, great idea and keep the backa. Little cooler. First Aid kit and PLB also great to have and in a nice handy spot. What you said about the Uniden I've found with my Oricom, it's not loud enough but I love my GME. Hopefully soon I can swap the Oricom for a GME XRS. Personally I think GME are the way to go, quality products. Watched that video with Shad & his wife. It doesn't take much.

      @@westralianoffroad I've got a pair of Uniden handhelds that I bought years ago, batteries have just started to crap out on them but also have 2X GME 1W Handhelds, love them. I've got GME & Oricom in car radios both running GME antennas. I want to swap the Oricom to the XRS unit as the cheap GME I have is so much better than the Oricom. I never cared much about what brand but have come to really like the GME products.
