Really like the minimalist vibe Ronny. Super cool you're travelling with your daughter too and getting her out to see Australia and not an iPhone screen.
Fantastic Ronny seeing you out camping with your daughter, they grow up so fast, you have to spend as much quality time with them when you can. Thanks and have a great week!
RONNY Good on you for bringing your daughter camping with you. She looks like shes having a cracking time, and obviously spending some quality time with Dad. Well done, brother.
Thanks Ronny. I love that you are onto running light. As George Carlin points out, "how can you get away from it all if you bring it all with you?" I was thinking it may be an idea to identify the reasons why you are travelling light. We all have some vague idea why this is a good idea, but clearly outlining your reasons and asking others to do the same, if they choose will make the whole subject a hell of a lot clearer, and perhaps suggest new ways to "lighten up"? I'll go first - in no particular order: 1/ Reduce packing and unpacking time 2/ Improve vehicle reliability, reduce breakages 3/ Improve fuel economy 4/ Improve tractability 5/ Reduce wear 6/ Reduce cost of kitting up
I got a 2.8 GU so I go light as possible so it doesn't become more of a slug. Plus when I camp I like to go wheeling so the faster it is to unpack the car the better
Awesome video! I don't have a trailer and always spend so much time packing and keeping under GVM. This is what I needed to watch. I will probably watch it many more times. Thank you.
Awesome mate. Good way to consolidate the gear. Test the limits and reduce the amount of gear you bring. I have tried consolidating my great twice now and think I have managed my fj nicely. Awesome video mate really enjoyed it for a Sunday morning
Saw your vehicle at Cocklebiddy in Sept when we were heading home from the Canning. Been a while since I've been to Twilight Cove, but I found it one of the most amazing parts of the Nullarbor - seeing the Baxter cliffs towering over the beach.
Ronny, could you do a video on camping with family? I am still working on perfecting my setup for travelling with my wife and 3 kids. I would love to see how you do it.
Enjoyed that, thanks. I’m faced with taking it (traveling light) to the next level with a new Jimney. Now there’s a challenge LOL. Keep up the good work.
Berms Thats where I am coming from 👍. ADV travel with the Jimney should be way easier. Total weight carried max 390kg to stay below GVM. Fuel capacity is a prob at 40 litres. Just completed 2.5 months around Australia aboard KTM 1190 ADVr. Want to get back to the Kimberly and Pilbra to explore all those little side tracks etc.
I love the Tetris packing required with the jimny. We always travel light: takes it back to basics. Looking to do a big trip soon though, did you take out your rear seats on your big trip?
Suzuki jimny journeys sorry about the misunderstanding as the big trip was by motorcycle. Next in my new (coming March 2020) Jimney. I will be looking to remove rear seats for max volume. Any tips will be appreciated.
@@Tomdogful no worries, I was hoping to get some tips from you 😉 Haven't taken the back seats out yet, but will before our trip. Have to come up with some decent storage system design 🤔
You mention not knowing how much water is used from your tank. You can recant to a container and measure litres. Another thought is to try one of the online residential water tap flow meters such as Gardena make around $40. Haven't used one myself for camping but a good idea in principle, might be worth a look. Cheers Tim
You would be able to fit wife and kids in ronny👍 my wife and 3 kids just finished a week long vic high country trip in my dual cab hilux🤘A checkerplate box on each side and chairs, table and swags in middle. It can be done fella love ya work🍻🇦🇺🔥🤘👍
Rolly B bloody oath fella that's the go👍 we do a heep up the high country and up the Murray river. Works well as long as you are organised 😂🤘 but as ya said nice and light!
Really cool going light, though I noticed you didn't go light on the booze ;) lol. Like the bottle holders in the canopy. You should put your stores URL in the description so we can purchase your hoodies and T's. Great vid 👍
Your videos on easy camping is wealth of information. I have a dual cab Hilux and like the option of using plastic storage boxes as easy way for camping without the high cost of a canopy. Did you bolt the boxes direct on the tray or tied down? I was looking at videos and can’t see how stopped them to sliding around the back of the tray?
@@Ronny_Dahl Thanks for the videos on family camping with a young family your ideas of light camping has made us interested in camping again without breaking bank. It is great to see your 4wd develop but you also provided options for families on a budget to get out camping in their 4wd without spending thousands. Your Fridge verse Cooler made me just keep to Cooler for our 3 days camps, saving me $$. Been on first camp with 2 year old and now we planning more.
Love your work, your rig and the new set up! What size rims, wheels are you running? I have a dualcab hilux that I plan a 2” lift for. What size rims and wheels would you recommend?
Enjoyed the episode, some good info, I also have a biolite that I've barely used (mostly to roast marshmallows for the kids) but now that you brought it up, going to try to use it more often.
Ah traveling with the daughter, brought back great memories. great fun. Currently looking at a double cab and spending many hours redesigning the functionality and weight distribution. Going to be interesting to see how it turns out.
Just googled Twighlight Cove....and there's TWO of them. One near Esperance and the other south of Cocklebiddy.... which one were you ate mate? EDIT: Just finished watching to the end and saw that you were on the Norseman to Hyden Road, so guessing you were at the Twighlight Cove near Cocklebiddy....
I've had my biolite for years. Not any gauges like yours, but same deal. Everyone thinks it's a gimmick, until I'm cooking a steak on it with a handful of twigs, or getting a wood fire-cooked meal during a fire ban. Then everyone realizes it's a great piece of kit.
@@rustynumbat The Biolite itself hasn't had a single glitch. And I've never had to charge it since the first time. Even after a few months of not using it, it fires the fan right up. Using the grill helps keep the main unit cleaner. You do have to watch the grill doesn't get wet before you put it away or it will rust a bit.
If you were by yourself you could toss the Engel and all the cooking equipment and just have a box of dehydrated hiking meals and a jetboil. Really depends how attached to comfort your are vs the weight trade off.
HOT TIP, don't use a garden hose to fill water tanks and jerry cans only use food-grade hose pipe then you don't get that plastic taste in ya tanks, the same hose a caravan would use.
@@Ronny_Dahl thats strange, IMO shouldnt have a taste in ya tank, plastic taste or foul taste Ronny, before my trips i use milton pills in my tanks jerrys etc
Ronny - great video, important topic - really love it. BUT.....anyone who is carrying TWO axes is not seeking to travel light! We know you love your axes, but c'mon!
There are probably a few shower/privacy kits available. Ronny's looks like the Quick Pitch jobbie that ASPW uses, too: quickpitch.com.au/our-brands/quick-pitch/quick-en-suite/
nice video as usual ronny, but PLEASE get some bush cooking advice from your mate fire to fork? seeing you and your daughter constantly eat cereal ice cream meat pies and soda is just nasty sorry mate...
Why are there 500 flies on your shoulders but no where else? None buzzing your face or anything !? Do you have some kind of fly treats on your shoulders or something? That is really strange........Maybe a coincidence but its worth an ask just in case its a trick
It’s hard to ignore the lack of progression on this channel. Production has stayed low when others PERTH based you tubers have flown ahead. Content has also taken a hit lately, I don’t imagine keeping things interesting can be hard but I don’t think there’s much here to keep people coming back anymore. Appreciate the free content as always but I struggle to get through a whole video these days.
This was all filmed by me and someone who had never done it before on a tag along trip which I didn’t plan to shoot. It’s RAW and real and not an adventure series with film crew and a planned destination feature. With all the other stuff I’m not sure exactly what you mean (or who you are talking about ) as I do all kinds of mixed stuff on this channel. Some people are just here for adventure series others just for modifieds, some just for how tos and others for the whole lot. Not getting defensive just telling you how I see it.

Your kids adorable, hopefully you two had a great time. Make the memories while you can it goes fast.
Nice work Ronny, glad u got to share it with ur daughter, priceless, im a single dad n take my daughter with me everywhere, life time memories.

Great work Ronny. Good quality equipment
Makes camping so much more simple. As it should be.

The ultimate project is the The Project Black, very nice video

Yeah mate that pillow is awesome got mine from www.campingoverlanding.com.au
well done on ending the video with just a shot of the road, really enjoyed that last touch
lightweight has been a struggle, thanks ronny.
Fun and informative video Ronny! Awesome to see you out with your daughter on a tag-along. ❤️🐞

THANK GREAT DETAIL VIDEO EVERY TIME GOOD WATCHING
Love your channel so much!
Great information, you always cover all the bases, thanks
loved it Ronny, looks like all had a great safe trip, also cover your tool kit and spare filters etc
You are such cool dude! Thanks Ronnie foe all of your content. Always enjoy it!

Great video Ronny. Thanks for sharing!
my last trip out I used a single burner fuel (petrol) a Colman branded and kept the fuel in an MSR 1 lt storage bottle it worked well
If you want a $4 budget 'version' of the biolite try an Ikea Ordning stainless steel cutlery holder. Makes a great micro fire pit. #ikeahack
Ah yeah Harry from fire to fork has made one too
Ronny, could you do a video on camping with family? I am still working on perfecting my setup for travelling with my wife and 3 kids. I would love to see how you do it.

If lightweigt is an issue get your inspiration from adventure motorbikers on youtube... They know how to take it to the next level.

With X2 trailer yes, without no not in my setup it’s designed for filming.
Hi Chuck, we are fitted out similar to you on our dual cab 79, works well and light
Rolly B bloody oath fella that's the go👍 we do a heep up the high country and up the Murray river. Works well as long as you are organised 😂🤘 but as ya said nice and light!
Next time take the wife and kids with you

Good idea mate will do
I wondered where you were as you had snow all around you... Hold on a minute, an Australian bare feet in the snow. No way.. wait... its sand...
1st, 2nd and 3rd :D
Good on ya!!
Your videos on easy camping is wealth of information. I have a dual cab Hilux and like the option of using plastic storage boxes as easy way for camping without the high cost of a canopy. Did you bolt the boxes direct on the tray or tied down? I was looking at videos and can’t see how stopped them to sliding around the back of the tray?
With the drop sides shut they are jammed in and can move up or sideways
Also the swag gets strapped down on top of it too
@@Ronny_Dahl Thanks was worried you might have bolted them down.
@@Ronny_Dahl Thanks for the videos on family camping with a young family your ideas of light camping has made us interested in camping again without breaking bank.

GREAT JOB . NICE RIG . GOD BLESS.
Great vid. What size is your foam pillow? I’ve got to order one of them to save wasting money on other crappy camping pillows.
Large dimensions are 48 x 31 x 12cm. There is also a Deluxe Size larger and Regular size smaller.
I love my biolite the kettle is really nice to both boil water and to store the biolite
I miss my daughter being that age, she loved camping. Teenager, not so much, lol.
Love your work, your rig and the new set up! What size rims, wheels are you running? I have a dualcab hilux that I plan a 2” lift for. What size rims and wheels would you recommend?

Ah traveling with the daughter, brought back great memories. great fun. Currently looking at a double cab and spending many hours redesigning the functionality and weight distribution. Going to be interesting to see how it turns out.
great vid as always mate TY
I have Jetboil Sumo as well, they are awesome
When you park your vehicle for a long period, are you shutting down your fridge or keeps it running with AC power?
Just googled Twighlight Cove....and there's TWO of them. One near Esperance and the other south of Cocklebiddy.... which one were you ate mate?
EDIT: Just finished watching to the end and saw that you were on the Norseman to Hyden Road, so guessing you were at the Twighlight Cove near Cocklebiddy....
Twighlight Cove near Cocklebiddy.
Hey Ronny - love your work. Any plans to do a collaboration with Michael from Seek Adventure?
What was the difference in fuel consumption between trailer and no trailer? Also, great choice of beer - Pirate Life!
About 2-3l per 100
Mostly being 2l per 100 more
Oztent screenhouse i use and its awesome
Awesome to be so lightweight. Any idea of the actual weight? Under gvm?
Hey Ronny, I notice a lot of the vehicles are a kind of dark olive drab colour. Does that not make them super hot inside? I’m surprised to see this.
I've had my biolite for years. Not any gauges like yours, but same deal. Everyone thinks it's a gimmick, until I'm cooking a steak on it with a handful of twigs, or getting a wood fire-cooked meal during a fire ban. Then everyone realizes it's a great piece of kit.
How's it held up to years of use?
That was my first concern with fire and electronics.
@@rustynumbat The Biolite itself hasn't had a single glitch. And I've never had to charge it since the first time. Even after a few months of not using it, it fires the fan right up. Using the grill helps keep the main unit cleaner. You do have to watch the grill doesn't get wet before you put it away or it will rust a bit.
Great family time!
What is the name of the food saver and where do you get it?
you could use some net to the roof lining to keep some stuff.
If you were by yourself you could toss the Engel and all the cooking equipment and just have a box of dehydrated hiking meals and a jetboil. Really depends how attached to comfort your are vs the weight trade off.
I could eat freeze dry for that many days unless it was a survival situation
*not
You wearing glasses ronny 😂😂😂😂
Mate you have to do a family trip, ad an torque with the wife how she handles you and your travelling.
I think I’ll be looking at a Project Black
So easy to get to everything
Gday Ronny, What’s the name of that bbq grill and where do you get them from?
bittybigq.com
Outa curiosity how much fuel did you use going from Esperance to cocklebiddy ?
That would be great info.
Peace out Ronny Dahl and co lol
Hey what brand is the shower screen awning?
Different brand but Kickass make the shower awning for cheap
HI What storage box's were they? Mark
Camp cover AMMO boxes
are you missing your 30L drawer fridge looked like a great fridge
In that setup I had before it worked well my setup now no I don’t miss it
How come iv'e seen this before , i must be going tropo :-)
is the norsema-hyden road a good (time / kms / fun) alternative to the kalgoorlie / esperance black top route back to perth?
Where can I purchase the shower that you have on the top of your vehicle?
quickpitch.com.au/our-brands/quick-pitch/
Did you use either or both solar blanket & How was the weather ?
No solar blanket required on this trip as we did base camp drives and A to B camp drives. Nothing was sitting around long enough
Hi Ronny, just a quick question about camping in thunder storm as you mentioned. Did the guys in roof top tent still slept in there?
Yes
@@Ronny_Dahl no concerns?
Not sure if it’s been asked but what brand of swag is that?
Crashpad
People should know that, you don’t need a 79 to enjoy the great outdoors. Just saying.
Yeah a Jimny would do it.
The actual vehicle setup video here: ua-cam.com/video/AJHvyd1t9wA/v-deo.html
She'll be an avid camper for sure!
What are your thoughts on a roof console with a uhf up there ?
It’s my preferred place for a screen unit (as in not a handset with tech).
so what does it weigh now ?
"I need five more minutes" LOL
Can’t find the bbq grill Anywhere on internet!!! anyone have the link? Thanks
cool
HOT TIP, don't use a garden hose to fill water tanks and jerry cans only use food-grade hose pipe then you don't get that plastic taste in ya tanks, the same hose a caravan would use.
It’s the tank taste I’m concerned about I use RV hoses
@@Ronny_Dahl thats strange, IMO shouldnt have a taste in ya tank, plastic taste or foul taste Ronny, before my trips i use milton pills in my tanks jerrys etc
Is that FJ ever going to show up on Modified?
I’m sure it will at some stage
@@Ronny_Dahl please and thank you kind sir
what clamps are they holding your axes up?
Quick fist clamps
What mountain range is that at approx. 21:50?
Ronny - great video, important topic - really love it.
BUT.....anyone who is carrying TWO axes is not seeking to travel light! We know you love your axes, but c'mon!
Do you need so much camera gear
Yep
I want to see a video on your trailer now
Review coming up
We’re do I get one of the shower tent things ????
luk37373 thanks buddy
There are probably a few shower/privacy kits available. Ronny's looks like the Quick Pitch jobbie that ASPW uses, too: quickpitch.com.au/our-brands/quick-pitch/quick-en-suite/
quickpitch.com.au/our-brands/quick-pitch/ a few others have copied it but Quickpitch is the original one and works well
13:05 My Girlfriend has one of those, calls it her "Little Man". what ever that means.....
Nice one.
nice video as usual ronny, but PLEASE get some bush cooking advice from your mate fire to fork?

iF YOUR 2 UP, REMOVE THE BACK SEAT MATE.....RIDICULOUS SPACE GAINED
that child is hilarious

I wish we could get the 70 series in the USA and Prado as well. I know the Lexus GX is available here, but it’s too fancy. Ugh!
woolengrappler you could import one and convert to left hand drive if u want one that bad?
@@william6815 they are available in LHD in Saudi Arabia, some 75's would be over 25 years old so you could get one of those and do the VDJ swap.
Wilbur has to be over 25 years old to import into the USA.
woolengrappler really your kidding right ?
Wilbur nope, imports gave to be older than 25 years old unless brought in by a dealer
So you are choosing one very heavy truck, designed to cary heavy loads and your goal is to keep it light? This doesn't make sense to me.
1st!! (Not counting Ronny himself)
