You should consider bringing a hot water bottle (or two) for those extra cold nights like you just experienced. They hardly weigh anything and have a very small footprint when not in use, but they really help in providing extra warmth in the sleeping bag. I particularly like having it around my feet in extremely cold nights. Appreciate the history summary of each places you visit. The extra insights enhances the viewing experience.👍
A fan of hot water bottles. I use them often when winter camping. It does not require ongoing power to maintain it's heat, apart from the initial heating of water (though if water is boiled using the campfire, zero energy use). And it surprisingly maintains heat until the morning.
yea maybe have to give that a try again, but in Flinders and Simpson temperatures drop to their low between 4-6 am and I would assume a bottle taken to bed at 9pm would not have much left in it.
@@AlloffroadAu You'd be surprised how long they keep their warmth. They obviously won't be as warm in the morning, but they are still much warmer than the ambient temperature.
Have you been to Moolooloo? What is your favourite Station in the Flinders Ranges? Let me know in the comments. Also If you are interested in MemoryMaps for All, you can use this special link to buy the Hema 4WD map set: w2.memory-map.com/cgi-bin/licuser.cgi?buy_e_package=1&package=3000074&adref=3001 This will give you 10% off, and I will also receive a very small kick back which will help me make these videos.
Stefan, I've seen newer lithium batteries in the USA now that have small heating pads between the cell packs. Theres a temp sensor that detects if the heating pad should 'warm' the batteries then the circuit allows progressive charging as the cells are warm enough preventing damage. I think they are similar pads to those found in the heacket tradie jackets. People never stop imroving their products. Keen to see this in Australia eventually. Were you in the Flinders around early July, I was doing a bike trip and might not have seen you but the Troopie at Hawker, so close to meeting perhaps? Appreciate your effort in capturing the history of the area. I think Stuart was one of the best explorer's as he found the route then used by Todd to put in the Telegraph line that connect Aus with the world. Pity his journeys were not widely recognised.
yes you can get heated LiFePo4 batteries in most cold climate countries, I don't think they are required in Australia as we rarely have more than a few hours below zero. 4th of July, we were in Hawker, so could well be, seems like we walked in the same space at the same time. Yes, Stuart was one of the best explorers together with David Carnegie in my book.
@@AlloffroadAu they would still start the car cold? If they didn't recharge till warmer the engine bay will soon heat up. So if you watched the temp and state of charge before turning off.... you would be fine still?
Yep he got a bit excited there, lived up that way and often heard people say the same thing, forgivable though given all the great content Stefan puts out, and is a genuine bloke trying to share the Aussie outback. I've never met him btw, just giving some encouragement.
Stephan great vid again ,the salt bush is growen for the meat sheep to eat ,the lamb is very nice to eat, ,the stretcher you foldered up at the end of the video what is it ?
Hi Andrew, thanks for the info thought it must be something like that. Stretcher is a Oztrail Stretcher tent unfortunately the new version is not much waterproofed as a friend of mine found out 3 weeks ago.
Thanks for another great video Stephan. Regarding the arrow figures on the indigenous petroglyphs I understand that they represent animal or bird footprints.
Wow another excellent trip mate. We'll definitely be going there. One question. Why don't you use your awning to sleep under to avoid the frost? Thanks Mick
Hi Mick won't avoid the frost as at this temperatures the breath froze inside the tent and then I ideally need to wait till awning dries, packing an awning at minus degrees is also less fun so I usually only use it if it rains or I need shade for a longer time.
@@AlloffroadAu oh okay. I use mine always as it's a huge asset whilst camping. I find it works well to keep me warm. Having said that I haven't used it in minus 8 degrees. Love the vid👍
Hi Stefan Watching this vid for the third time and was wondering what the name of the first campgrounds is please between Hawker and Moolooloo station? I'm heading there in May to moolooloo station . Thanks Mick
I reckon it’s some kind of desert plant like spinifex or something but yeah looks like arrows at first. I agree too none of it really looks like authentic indigenous markings

Your daughter is a joy, to think about it so are you.
Looks like emu tracks in the drawings
😂
I like the music 🤙🏽

Magic part of the country
Absolutely awsome educational upload thankyou for sharing again
Flinders ranges my favorite destination. Safe travels
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic production values and love the music !
Many thanks!

Emus perhaps, not arrows
Yep, emu feet, not arrows
I wondered the same. Emu tracks.
good point
because they are emu tracks, they imply direction, the opposite direction if they were arrows, ie the direction an emu walks
That was my first though too....
Thanks for another great video Stephan.
Regarding the arrow figures on the indigenous petroglyphs I understand that they represent animal or bird footprints.

😂
Salt bush = drought fodder
thought must be something like that, salt bush could not be a sole food from what I read?
Stunning thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome trip 👍👍
Thanks 👍
@@AlloffroadAu On next years bucket list 🙂
well worth it

I'm heading there in May to moolooloo station .

Hi Michael, CAMBRIAN CAMPGROUND - Ilkara Flinders Ranges NP, Moolooloo is brilliant you will enjoy it.
cheers

What size dry bag do you use for the bunker pro
Is memory maps and mm for all different apps? Can the maps from mm be used in mm for all?
Is mm for all any better?
yes different apps and MMFA is way better (full review coming soon) yes you can use any maps purchased for MM in MMFA
I reckon it’s some kind of desert plant like spinifex or something but yeah looks like arrows at first. I agree too none of it really looks like authentic indigenous markings
Not authentic at all
