    Hey Justin 50yrs ago when I was Boy Scout we didn’t have fire starters, they weren’t invented then.
    If you pull some dead grass or leaves on the ground under the trees and then put small kindling sticks and light that, then start getting larger sticks you will have a fire every time. Keep up the entertaining videos thanks.

    Great first episode! We save the fluff from the dryer in between camping trips. Even better, stuff empty toilet rolls with it, makes excellent fire starters! Also, collect dried teabags, and dab citronella oil in them. Scatter these in the fire too! No cost, weight, and easy to store!

    I like to use a fire starter called "Fatwood" about $15 a bag from Bunnings. It is made from pine, the part that has a lot of resign. 1 or 2 in the with a bit of paper or dry grass work a treat. That is my hot tip.

    Yeah not sure I fully agree with these Hipcamp prices mate. $50 bucks for no power or water, well I think is so over priced. For you guys I get why you want to be alone… but most the interactions in a park for the kids is the best part of caravan life seeing them make friends and having a blast.

    Hey guys, after watching your video of this Harvey bay stay, we decided to book on Hipcamp and stay there next weekend for two nights! Booking was accepted, even paid my $6 for eggs… we were excited about our stay.
    Then yesterday we got a text messsge saying our booking was cancelled! No explanation why it was cancelled. When we tried to contact the host he would not reply . So I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone as the communication with the host of this property is not good. He took my money for 2 nights plus the cost of the eggs, but is only refunding me the cost I paid minus $10???
    Again, no explanation why it was cancelled, why I’m not getting a full refund and no communication with me. Very disappointed. I won’t ever book this place!!!

    Great episode guys. Looks fantastic. Whats your take on the Webber being illegal to use on vans? Ive stopped taking ours as im worried id get in trouble but then still see lots of people using them.
