good idea. return to closest town. Don't get stuck out there. Time to tell a mechanic to do the job right instead of leaving a bloke stranded out there
The only genuine overlander I've found on UA-cam. You really give a true representation of life alone in the wilderness. Thanks for all your work; may you continue to travel and contemplate our amazing world for decades more.
Yes. I was recently in Sydney with a friend and on route his BMW got a flat rear tire. He had to call a tow truck and had it towed because he couldn't change it! That's how dependent and pathetic this country has become.
@@adelarsen9776 there's a young lady on youtube named Danie Simpson, an RAAF heavy vehicle mechanic. She'd put a lot of youtibe overlanders to shame for repairs in the field
Hey Brett, Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to shoot and edit all of these. We can tell how much time you put into getting the shots. (Walking back or driving back to the camera many times, haha) It's helping us research and pass the time while we save for the next leg of the trip. Cheers! Tim
Grass roots 4wd touring . There are so many hi tech 4wd shows on now with hundreds of thousands of $$$ worth of vehicles and equipment and your doing the same thing In a more realistic way. Yes it’s nice to have some creature comforts but the simpler ways bring you more into the reality of what the country is really like you feel the country more. Great work Brett.
Good job on the injector pump repair. I think that mechanic needs to do some work for you for free, next time you see him... Another good video, thanks Brett.
Another AWSOME video brett. Fantastic diagnosis on the rattle. I’d be definitely talking to the mechanic who done you pump. Good to see your travels through our country without all the hard bang and break stuff like others without any names. I love your genuine way of doing things. 👍
They generally won't harm you. Just don't step on them, and look over all logs and rocks before stepping over in case of snakes.. Carry a snake bandage kit.
Well done to identify and correct the problem. You did well to investigate it promptly because I think if the last bolt had loosened you'd have lost the injection timing. You don't want to have to re-time the engine in the field. These days I do virtually 100% servicing myself because very few mechanics take as much care as you do with your own vehicle. To you it's mission critical and to them it's just another job.
Quality stuff Brett, particularly the bush mechanical work. Love that countryside around Tibooburra we’ve been out there prospecting. Like you we are always in awe of the explorers and the pioneers who settled that country. Looking forward to part 3. Warren and Colleen.
Another great video Brett, thank you. Those corrugations go away..... well they do for me. I just go straight down to 16psi hot and just hum along without the bone jarring. Tyres are so much tougher nowadays. Tens of thousands of Kilometres travelled like that now on dirt and have never lost a tyre or even got a puncture. Keep the videos coming.
Well done tracking for that unusual noise ... the noise that makes the journey unpleasant, absolutely .... this is when one knows his working horse perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Brett, you clearly have the skills to do what you are doing, does the Landy have AC cant remember now if it does or not, although it couldn't have been to hot as you had a big puffy jacket on . Awesome film once again the contrast between the red sand and the blue sky is amazing :)
@@RoamingTheOutback I drive my 110 in Florida, no AC at all. Just open vents and windows. I do have a small fan that helps. Americans think I am crazy for not having AC when its up in the high 90s. .. "Not at all" I tell them "I'm English" It is nice to see you are not packed up full of overpriced gimmicks I head out with kit that works. No need for to much flashy "Shiny Bits" Great work.. I do recommend one thing if you dont already have one LifeStraw Personal water filter made by VESTERGAARD You can use it to drink out of a stagnant piss pit with a rotting dead rat in it and not get sick or shit your ring out .. Carrie's in your pocket Cheers for now, stay safe
Was planning a bike trip to Camerons Corner (from Brisbane) this easter but obviously its been canned. So, watcing your video again :) Hope your keeping well mate. ATB Jason.
Great video as usual Brett, I appreciate the education you provide as you talk through each aspect of your journey. Discussing the problem solving and fault diagnosis process you go through and then next minute explaining leached white sand. Keep up the great content.
my wife and i visited camerons corner but we were with a 4wd club and they just wanted to keep driving next time we head out there we definetly be exploring the area after watching your video
A suggestion for your miscellaneous hardware collection... Get some high-grade (8.8 or 10.9) nuts for the bolts you carry. Thread the nut on before you cut, so after you've made your cut, you can run that nut off of the shortened bolt to correct any thread damage at the cut. The storage space if you put these nuts onto their respective bolts is minimal, plus if you need to check the depth of a blind hole with a missing bolt, you can thread-in the too-long bolt until it bottoms, then turn the nut down until it bottoms on the mounting boss face, then remove the bolt to see how long it needs to be.
1) Yes, I'd rather be at my penthouse in the city overlooking the hordes of people in their offices and cars breathing polluted air and admiring the concrete jungle. For sure. 2) Rice bubbles ?? Snap, crackle and pop..... 3) Nice dust storm. Welcome to my world. This could be filmed in my backyard. 4) The desolate isolation is so invigorating. No people, blue sky and no pollution. Perfect.
perfect repair job as usual. Thinking out of the box. That's why I hang on and re-run all your vids over and over. When will 3/3 be out do you think. Health comes first so take a rest and look forward to more inspirations and no BS that you tell it how it really is. Hope to see you on the tracks again soon ( after the big wet thought) . Phillip
Brett, have just found your vlogs, superb and very real. In 2005 I visited all of the locations in the Sturt N.P. you've listed. A very real memory revisit! All in a 1990 Volvo 240, yes I had two spare wheel/tyre combo, all belts and hoses, all top up fluids, tool kit and spares, full service manual, inc,. nuts & bolts, which I see someones has already mentioned about leaving the correct nut on the bolt before you cut it. The G clamp & vice grip is a great idea. Your process of problem solving/elimination would put many mechs to shame! So glad the U toob algorithm brought yr vids to my notice. Cheers.
Sturts np is cursed. I did middle drive shaft uni joint there (Suzuki Sierra) and go towed to Cameron's corner where we managed to canabalise the front shafts joint and keep going. Interesting place to visit
Fantastic, you are indeed well prepared for such issues. Well done for repairing it yourself! One of many advantages of having a simple vehicle👍What type of bustard was that bird? Looks very similar to a Kori or Denham's bustard here in Kenya
At 1:32 - was that a bird in the image below the kangaroo on the right, or just rocks? 5:30 - rather be out there anytime! Good tip on long bolts as spares - thank you. 22:34 "Wind and crickets" usually you only hear that when you have a complaint for something you bought that doesn't live up to expectations.
Another great video Brett. I'm impressed with your bush mechanic skills. Don't you hate it when you spend good money to get experts to service your vehicle and things fail simply due to shoddy workman ship? Well done on the diagnosis and repairs.
Sorry to hear brett. There is a reason i dont alow mechanics/stupids to work on any of my landies. No way. How many times have you worked out somethings shat itself and it was the mechanics fault!
If it was a rebuilt pump those bolts were tightened by rebuilding joint so mechanic prob has nothing to do with it. You can also get a ticking sound from from a lift pump. The arm flaps up and down. Not sure which make though
Really enjoyed this, love the wide screen and the range of camera angles and that it flows as a story. I know there is a lot of time spent and work involved to make that happen. You've done well Mate! Question, how did you determine what bolts to carry out of the large number of sizes a vehicle takes? I have a def 300tdi and would love to know just what ones I should be carrying.
Thanks Mate.. I crawled around my car with a spanner and note book recording common bolt sizes, then bought various HT bolts. Sorry can't remember exact sizes. Just buy a selection but dont go overboard.
sounded like a tappet but fair play you found it. I cant believe the issues you have with bloody average mechanics. Glad I don't carry out my engineering like that there would be aircraft falling out the sky everywhere. I have to admit I always carry a 4" Record vice. You could always clamp the bolt in the vise grips as you did then G clam that onto the bull bar just an idea also a Tec Tip run a nut down the bold so once you have cut the excess off you can use a file to clean the cut surface then run the nut back an forth without taking it off to clean the pitch out nicely .
Thanks for the tip mate.. I had thought of clamping to the bullbar, but there's nowhere that gives me a good swing of the saw, plus I'd damage the coating.
Hope ya ok amid all this covid 19 mess mate. I'm a little worried for ya although your probably better equipped than most, both with knowledge and lifestyle.
Great video, but I was a little disappointed that you didn't share information on the Cameron Corner Store. The team at Cameron Corner Store are a very dictated group of people, helpful, welcoming and is an Oasis for travelers providing Accommodation, Food, Fuel and a Cold Beer, plus they would have been more than helpful in regards to your mechanical issue. I think it would have been a great opportunity to show your viewers that as a "Trip Advisory Service". Other than that Awesome Video and I enjoy watching you cover areas that I have been traveling through for the last 30years, keep up the great job of promoting inland Australia (The Outback) wonderful sunburnt country & historical areas.
It becomes a hassle for me to get film and location permits from different businesses in order to cover myself for broadcast purposes. So I rarely film such things... I did stop in and buy a cookie. Thanks.
@@RoamingTheOutback That's understandable, I hope one day to catch up with you on the track somewhere and share some our stories with each other, we will be back out at Cameron Corner for New Year's Eve this year, I really enjoy going out this time of year just to re-engage with the area and get a real feel for what some of our early Explores & Homesteaders endured.
And thank God for that. One of the few channels that is commercialized with crap and driven by business interests. One of the few channels where self sufficiency is still something to be proud off. The take away should be you don't rely on other people, you fix it yourself. BTW, in 2002 my exhaust fell off at Camerons corner and they couldn't do shit. I had to drive to Innaminicka to the grader guy for his welder and I'm sure I lost half my hearing that trip!
I agree! with the outback community struggling some exposure for remote pubs, stores would only be a good thing. I have been to Cameron Corner, but others may not have even a few words to say theres a store there and you can also get fuel would be use full information. Other than that excellent video .
I've been places that where so quiet my ears hurt. Not sure I like places like that. As for the Outback/Desert of Australia, I think I'm a water person ;) Go cruise a beach!
I am sure there are good mechanics out there but this is the reason why I never let anyone touch my vehicle unless I can thoroughly check their work on completion, my reasoning is I may as well make my own mistakes instead of paying for someone else's poor work.
Wouldn't it be great if you could trust mechanics to actually do what they are paid for? We lost a wheel thanks to hopeless mechanics. Love the video, great to see the bits of Oz we won't get to ourselves.
Note too self you wanna travel outback Australia don't take a landrover..I have owned them and they are not built for this country carry a bucket to get it home..
Geez Brett, every time you have had trouble it's from work you have had done.... Suspension bushes etc !! The standard of workmanship is questionable...Stay safe mate.
This makes my blood boil. What is wrong with Parks? The office is opposite that camp ground and they cant even maintain anything... oh except I bet there is gas for the BBQs. Last time I went to that windmill the blades were on it.. but nah, lets let everything fall apart and sink into the desert. Lets let it all disappear. In 50 years what do they think tourists are going to look at? The BBQ facilities?
Sure. People will visit those ancient bbq places from the bloody times before everyone had soylent green. Or perhaps the global warming will have made Australia uninhabitable anyway.
If you wear a leather jacket or other off-road and mountaineering clothing, you will look very temperamental and will attract more subscribers. Also, please consider combing your hair backwards. In short, make yourself look cool. :-)

I do like the reality you bring to travel. Some tedious jobs and fixes just need doing as you go. That’s life!
we were there in 1991 with our 5 and 8 year old children, wonderful experience
Incredible country.
Nice to see your doors not rattling as much. Thanks for the video.
I have 4x4 with a lot of modern stuff, the more I watch you the more hesitant I am to do remote trips. Might have to dust off the 110.
You'll never know until you go.. just take good comms so if you run into trouble you can be recovered.
Top effort to find and repair the pump drive bolts, well done. Love your vids, envious of your travels and exploration.
Think I am putting some vice pliers and a G-clamp in my toolkit. Another very enjoyable and instructive video Brett.
U just teach me some REAL australian geography))) Magnificent australian outback) Just love it))))
Are there some rules for venomous creatures? what are the common things on how you can avoid dangers seeing them in the outback? (sorry for banality)
They generally won't harm you. Just don't step on them, and look over all logs and rocks before stepping over in case of snakes.. Carry a snake bandage kit.

So dry...I did the walk about 10 years ago and was knee deep in clover and black mud.....
Would have been a sight to see.
Wouldn't it be great if you could trust mechanics to actually do what they are paid for? We lost a wheel thanks to hopeless mechanics. Love the video, great to see the bits of Oz we won't get to ourselves.
Tell me you didn’t go out there in December.
Mid August.

Dude whens the next video coming?
next saturday.
Geez Brett, every time you have had trouble it's from work you have had done.... Suspension bushes etc !! The standard of workmanship is questionable...Stay safe mate.
No women, no kids. Looks like paradise to me...
This makes my blood boil. What is wrong with Parks? The office is opposite that camp ground and they cant even maintain anything... oh except I bet there is gas for the BBQs. Last time I went to that windmill the blades were on it.. but nah, lets let everything fall apart and sink into the desert. Lets let it all disappear. In 50 years what do they think tourists are going to look at? The BBQ facilities?
Sure. People will visit those ancient bbq places from the bloody times before everyone had soylent green.
Or perhaps the global warming will have made Australia uninhabitable anyway.

You were born in the wrong century.
Sadly that's very true.
If you wear a leather jacket or other off-road and mountaineering clothing, you will look very temperamental and will attract more subscribers. Also, please consider combing your hair backwards. In short, make yourself look cool. :-)
