    Love this guys! Thanks so much for the shout-out and all your support. We're so pleased to see how much use you're getting out of your North Storm bag! We must say congrats on getting the job done with the climb and well done Jess in ping pong! Alan's gameplay was hilarious! 😆

    Love it, what a video. Epic hikes and I like the dedication to not be defeated. It is something that makes me push each day. Even with life, and the kids. I tell them to push, have dedication to learn, fail, learn why you failed and push. The more you fail the better you become.

    Awesome video my guys!
    Strongly recommend the Zoleo unit. Mine has worked flawlessly over the years. Bluetooths to your phone, uses an app to text when in and out of signal, has the SOS function, breadcrumb and map, also sends ‘pings’ if you wish 🤘

    Love the table tennis footage/Allan excuses 😆
    We can completely understand the defeated disappointment, that would have been a tough decision but agreed it would have been super sketchy. I think I give up several times on hikes and push on and always worth it, I’m sure you know that feeling too.
    (By the way yes we’re having a rare “slow day” and on a good ol ExploreOz binge sesh 😂😂 miss u guys!

    • @Explore_oz
      @Explore_oz  3 місяці тому

      Look…. The excuses were just so Jess didn’t know I was letting her win!
      We really did want to push on and complete the hike, but without being correctly packed and organised for it, it wasn’t worth it. But that’s ok, better safe than sorry.
      Naaawwww enjoy the slow day and binge sesh! We miss you guys too, and can’t wait to catch-up with our guys again somewhere. Although that would mean you would have to come back to mainland… 😂🤔

    Great video on the trek and the gear you use when hiking. Just wondering what shoes you wear when hiking on the trails , as looking for hiking shoes. For a PLB device look up the gme accusat or the zoloeo Zl1000 as have read some great reviews on these 2 products , but there are a lot out there.
    Looking forward to your next video and hope to see you in WA when we head over in june/July.

      Hey Craig 👋
      We are both currently using Keen hikers and they are doing the job great. I personally haven’t had any issues with mine (Targhee III mid), however Jess’ is currently having some troubles with a couple chunks of the soul coming apart.
      I’ve is added the GME and the Zoloeo to the list for research, thanks so much for the suggestions 👌.
      Where and you heading when you come over in June/July?

    • @craig3113
      @craig3113 5 місяців тому +1

      @Explore_oz Thanks for the feedback on the hiking shoes, I will look into them and we are going to either head across the Nullarbor to Perth then up the coast or will head across from the territory then come down the coast haven't decided. I have booked two nights at Bullara station on the 28th June so I didn't miss out , but thinking I might do another night or two there. Then we will just do free/ low cost camping for the rest of the trip. Looking forward to explore the west as we have never been, so will just be taking our time. Hope to catch up for a beer

      @@craig3113 Bullara is a pretty cool station! Are you there for burger night? We did it two years ago and had a fantastic time. Plus there is plenty to explore around that area.
      WA is probably our favourite state in Australia to explore, it's just so big and you need so much time haha. Taking it slow is the perfect approach.
      Would be great to catchup for a beer for sure :D
