Running back through all Tyler's old stuff, i love being able to do that. I remember first coming across Tyler's vids a few years back and have been subd since. I loved the solo Cape trip in the Nav.
I don't think I will ever get to a point where this is even an option but what I have learned with car camping is, it is much better to save and buy the very best quality you can than to buy something now to get by ONCE you've done whatever you're doing long enough to be sure that's what you want to do. The difference between equipment that's actually convenient and comfortable and not can be what makes or breaks your relationship with camping/ backpacking, etc... Edited to add: I keep a running list for camping things because I'm certain I'd forget. Things seem to change every outting. Edited to add one more time: I gave up on starting campfires "the right" way and opted for a blow torch. Absolutely phenomenal...
Ha ha ... Hockey strap....awesome. 🤣🤣 But seriously, thanks for the great vid. I'm off next year to do a 5week run around Tassie. Awesome setup. gave me some ideas. Cheers
you should think about what would happen if your girlfriend died and your house got blown away from a tornado. spend your whole life wrapping your self in bubble wrap and youll just end up sitting on youtube writing silly "what if" comments
Now I understand why you have so many subscribers mate! That was a lovely and helpful video full of charm and humour. What a great family you have too. I look forward to watching more.
If you want to make your swag more comfy just buy the mattress foam underlay looks like egg cartons. Cost like 30bucks for queen size at spotlight and add 3-5cm of comfort best investment I ever did.
It's always interesting to see how other people camp and I agree with you regarding the fire pit from Drifta. It's now one of my favourite pieces of camping equipment. Enjoy Tassie.
@@jakeday4192 Hi Jake. If I'm packing up and fire pit is still hot, I then deal with the fire pit first. I handle it with welding gloves and depose of the coals. I then allow the fire pit to cool while I pack up the rest of the gear. Hence I can't say that it's ever been a problem.
BTW I use the hillbilly fire pit. I like that better as it has a lid, so if you go for a walk or go to bed, putting the lid on means it's totally fire safe.
Was your wine Darlington Vineyard by any chance? If so my family started that many years ago now. The bottle and what I could see from the label looked very familiar. If so I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing a very informative video😊
Awesome video mate. Really help because I don’t know much about camping and I would love to. Are used to be a boilermaker and I reckon a pair of welding gloves would be great to handle the Firepit with And easier on your hands.Hope this helps mate stay safe out there.
Great video, wow ypu look seriously packed, I wonder would a canopy give you more room in the vehicle ?, I travel long distances a lot for work in a 2017 Ranger PXII XLT with an ARB canopy and sometimes with the exception of my clothes bag my rule is if it dosnt fit in the ute " Canopy" it stays behind. Do you carry a fire extinguisher & 4x4 1st aid kit ?. You must be Drifter's favorite customer Mr Buck in Nth Qld would love you he's a huge drifter fan 🤗 In the canopy I have a set of MSA drawers which eat a lot of gear including all my recovery gear, a 65L Waeco fridge, a secondary 130A/H Giant Aussie 12v battery, a kickarse 40amp DC/DC, a full tool kit including cordless tools & if I really go bush a 12v compressor, portable fold out solar panels, a sat phone & an Epirb. Rgs Wayne.
Thanks mate! Yep I do want to upgrade to a tray and canopy set up eventually, just need the money to do it. Yep have a first aid and first extinguisher inside the car. Sounds like you've got a pretty good set up on yours mate!
Good vid. Had a few chuckles, our daughter is a massive sloth fan. Our full camper setup and pack up seems to take hours. Adding Annex walls, spreader poles, and fly over the top sucks a bit of the fun out. But is handy if the weather turn foul.
hey man, you should look at getting a canopy because it would be more organized, weather proof and safer plus will give you and your family alot more room in the cabin
Great video and setup. I’m getting a 2 door ute soon, basic model either a Mitsubishi L200 or a Toyota Hilux. And thoughts? Going to get a canopy and put a bed, fridge, drawers etc in the back. Super fun. Your wife is lovely. Lucky man. Greetings from Ireland!
Jeez Tyler...... all that stuff next to the young fella, does that get secured? :-0 Love your vids and humour, I'm sure its all organised for you but wow I'd go bonkers trying to work that way.
Hey Tyler. What do you find to be the best thing about your camping setup that may have changed from owning the old Nav to the new Nav since you've had it?
Hey chief! always enjoying the vids, do you carry the Grinder mainly for if the cv/driveshaft breaks then you can cut through the middle shaft and keep driving ?
Nice video u have everything slotted in well. Does it get annoying or arduous having to remove everything and repack it all thetime from the tub? Im really suprised kayla hasnt made you go and buy one of those joolca hws shower units yet ahah. After going from a gu patrol to a dual cab dmax with the tub, and camped a few times using the tub setup. I cannot effin wait to get rid of the tub for a tray and canopy set up. Having to remove most the stuff in the tub just to get to something shits me so much, and also the packaway time gets annoying sometimes, especially when its wet and raining. Cant wait for my canopy, i will be burning the tub 😂😂
Thanks mate, I just leave most of the stuff in the tray all the time, the boxes and fridge etc live in there so don't need to take it in and out when I go camping. I'd say I will upgrade to a canopy eventually when I get the money, would definitely make things easier
Hi Tyler, Quick question, I'm looking at doing a very similar setup, with the blue tubs etc. I want to know if you had a canopy, would the stuff on the roof, fit in a canopy, on the tray? I want to carry the same amount of stuff, without roof racks.
Whats your thoughts on a canopy. You may have addressed this previously but I can't remember. I know they have their positives and negatives overall but for a camp setup such as yours a canopy makes a lot of sense and would allow you not to have to carry/strap anything onto the roof which would save you some time and also fuel given there would be heaps less wind resistance on long trips especially at highway speeds.
Yeah I do want to upgrade to a canopy eventually, just the money issue. I would probably get a tray and half canopy set up then have the fridge and a couple of those ALU boxes at the back, rather then the full canopy with all the weight
Im glad to read this comment hey. Im in the market for a new 4x4 ute and have the cash for the Swiss army knife canopy etc. But im really not sure i need it hey? Its another 20/30 grand to put into fuel and holidays i reckon.
Yeh they're based out of QLD Coollum area, main designer of the products name is Brett, top bloke, used to live in South Aus for years before moving up our way 👌🏼👍🏼
I don't think there is anyone alive that hasn't called them hockey straps at one point in life, swear they sneakily changed it to ocky and didn't tell anyone 😆😆😆
Running back through all Tyler's old stuff, i love being able to do that. I remember first coming across Tyler's vids a few years back and have been subd since. I loved the solo Cape trip in the Nav.
Great commentary man! Covered everything and kept it pretty simple, I’m officially ready for my 6 week Stirling Range trip next week! Cheers
Have fun!

You should think about what would happen if you had a crash/rollover with heavy items in cab and tray that are not strapped down.
Yeah I was thinking the same wouldn't be good to go upside down .
Definitely need to look at strapping down or seat belting the gear/table on the back seat with the young fella next to it all.
Needs a cargo barrier in the back for sure.
Yep was just thinking the same thing at the end.

Looks schmick mate! Goes to show you don't need the ultimate drawer setup
Cheers mate!

Thanks for the tip!
It's funny seeing the pre beard baby face Tyler.
Gotta love the drifta stuff mate. Stay safe. Cheers Steve
Yep make some good gear!
yeah the setup is cool, but where do I get those toys?
blue boxes Bunnings sell similar boxes. gotta love the canvas bags, have countless drifta bags
Yep they make plenty of great bags!
Hi. Do you know where you got the alli box from? Love it.
Hahahha. The toys !! Perfect.. and love the outtakes at the end:)
Haha thanks mate!
Nice set up. Thanks for sharing. Have you had any troubles or are/were you worried about people steeling things out of the tray or off the roof?
Another great video! The toy comments killed me! 🤣🤣😍
It's always interesting to see how other people camp and I agree with you regarding the fire pit from Drifta. It's now one of my favourite pieces of camping equipment. Enjoy Tassie.
How do you guys go when packing up with these if there still hot as ??
I just give it 5-10 minutes once I tip the coals out then normally sweet to put back in the bag
@@jakeday4192 Hi Jake. If I'm packing up and fire pit is still hot, I then deal with the fire pit first. I handle it with welding gloves and depose of the coals. I then allow the fire pit to cool while I pack up the rest of the gear. Hence I can't say that it's ever been a problem.

BTW I use the hillbilly fire pit. I like that better as it has a lid, so if you go for a walk or go to bed, putting the lid on means it's totally fire safe.
Yeah okay sweet, you could just put the base plate over this one but doesn't have an actual lid

Loved your video. Natural and no dramas. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing camping
Thank you guys! U put a smile on my face
Glad you enjoyed it mate!
hey man, you should look at getting a canopy because it would be more organized, weather proof and safer plus will give you and your family alot more room in the cabin
Yep I do want to upgrade to one at some stage, just need the money to do it
@@TylerThompson90 that's the trick, if you saved every cent to get your rig perfect, you'd never have money to go away, and vice versa.
@@TylerThompson90 or a freebie... like you have today?!⛺️
Top notch presentation, clear and to the point. Subbed
A good and practical setup you've got there mate; I can relate to the random placement of fire wood all around the place haha 😅
Cheers mate 👍
Great video and setup. I’m getting a 2 door ute soon, basic model either a Mitsubishi L200 or a Toyota Hilux. And thoughts? Going to get a canopy and put a bed, fridge, drawers etc in the back. Super fun. Your wife is lovely. Lucky man. Greetings from Ireland!
Nice gear. What brand is your ally box?
Hey bud where did U get the ally kitchen camp box from please ? What's brand name them cheers Ian wa
Those blue boxes are Pelican space case's, you can get them from Bunnings.
Nice setup mate. Everyone has a system that works for them. Personally I have a canopy and a Drifta drawer setup. Love it!
Cheers mate, yep ill hopefully upgrade to a canopy system eventually
Great set up, not to long, love the bloopers👍👍
Thank you 🙌
Thanks Tyler. Entertaining and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gotta have the toys brother 🤣🤣 I made box's to take r.c buggies camping strapped to the roofrack 🤣🤣👍👍
Loving the vids and the bloopers mate. Thanks for the tips - really helpful for a newbie overlander.
Thanks mate! Glad it helped
Good simple set up. This compliments your pre trip vid very nicely.
Thank you!
Cracking set up bud we in Scotland call it a bungie cord 😂
Might have to call it that haha thanks mate
Occy strap - Octopus strap... Great video mate, love your work, looking forward to new adventures :)
You need a canopy for all your stuff bruz
Thanks mate! Yep hope to get a canopy eventually
Great video!
It’s ok I’ve always called it a hockey strap 😂😂
Excellent dry weather setup. Looks like you might be uncomfortable in the wet though. Can you show us a damp camp please?
Cheers! Same thing in the wet, seems to get us through alright
Another good show buddy
Glad you enjoyed it
Jeez Tyler...... all that stuff next to the young fella, does that get secured? :-0 Love your vids and humour, I'm sure its all organised for you but wow I'd go bonkers trying to work that way.
Hey man good vid! What kind of gloves are they, are they heat resistant? Been looking for a decent pair of fire pit gloves which have tight grips
Thanks mate, gloves are leather iron clad ones from Bunnings
Hey Tyler. What do you find to be the best thing about your camping setup that may have changed from owning the old Nav to the new Nav since you've had it?
Hey mate, its pretty similar to be honest. The awning set up and dual battery set up are definitely better but all the basics are the same
Good video. You’ve about $3grands worth of canvas bags lol 🤙
Thanks mate, yep got a few bags now haha
Phil McAvity lol I thought the same
Yeah me too, Drifta gear is pretty dear....see what I did there?
mikehzz your a poet & you don’t even know it
kyla is a hoot you should of held a beer in your hand lol
Nice camp vid Thanks for sharing your tips
No problem 👍
Nice one Tyler great camp and ute set up 😎🇳🇿👍
Thank you! 🙌
The outtakes top it off haha! I take an hour to film a few sentences cos of all the awkward stuff ups I make haha
Haha thanks mate!
Sweet toys bro 😁
Mate I’m loving the content love the tassie trip I can’t wait to do it myself. You are smashing it big fella thanks for all the info
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Tyler Thompson 👌🏽👌🏽🍺
You can get those blue boxes from Bunnings
Okay sweet 👌
haha ockey! showed up by the mrs, shoulda editied that out cobba
Hey Tyler, should check out Big Desert and border track on the VIC / SA border.
Hopefully head down there at some stage!
Hey chief! always enjoying the vids, do you carry the Grinder mainly for if the cv/driveshaft breaks then you can cut through the middle shaft and keep driving ?
Hey mate, thank you! Yep that's the main reason
Thanks mate, new sub. Great content, easy, simple and well done.
Very Helpful 👍
Glad to hear that

Great work guys👍👍👍
Cheers 👍
Great set up guys. How would you rate the solar blanket and where did you get it from?
Thanks mate! Yep seems to work really well, its a 'Safiery Global' one
Hey Tyler, where did you get the “Alibox” any chance of a link?
Great vids, very useful.
Thanks mate!
www.drifta.com.au/product/alu-boxes/
Tyler, I have seen those blue boxes available from Supercheap and I think 4x4 supacentre also has them ... Great Vid as always
And bunnings has them too.
Thanks mate, yep plenty of places seem to sell those sorts of boxes
You need to make a list we can download
I'll look into it!
Not a bad set up for 3 people 👍
Yep works well
Hi Tyler,
Quick question,
I'm looking at doing a very similar setup, with the blue tubs etc. I want to know if you had a canopy, would the stuff on the roof, fit in a canopy, on the tray? I want to carry the same amount of stuff, without roof racks.
Hello, I'm sure you could work out a way to do it with a tray and canopy set up, I've seen plenty of people do it
The fridge is on the back full time? No issues with rain or moisture or anything?
Yep never had any issues with rain or anything mate, seems to survive all weathers
Love the vids mate, keep them coming!
Thanks mate!

Tyler Thompson time for a canopy sponsor mate hopefully
Waiting for sponsors?!😆😄
Beaut video mate. On ya!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You dagg .. that was a hoot..😂🤣pip pips and carryon
Hello just wanna ask why don't u get rooftop tent?
I may get one eventually, it would just take up the whole roof space, more weight high up and then can't move the car without packing it all up
Well done looks great cheers 👍🍻🇦🇺
Thank you! Cheers!
Occy Strap 🐙👍
Good content! Camping has become a tad wanky! Good work on keeping it simple 🤠
Im glad to read this comment hey. Im in the market for a new 4x4 ute and have the cash for the Swiss army knife canopy etc. But im really not sure i need it hey? Its another 20/30 grand to put into fuel and holidays i reckon.
g'day mate
not an add for DRIFTA lol... 27 minutes not a bad packup for a family camp
Hey mate, you mentioned that Gaia gps app - how do you rate it against the VMS?
Hey mate, yeah it works better then VMS for sure
Hey mate love your vids what’s the app on your phone for maps cheers mate
Gaia GPS but also check the app called Australia Topo Maps, more maps and cheap lifetime license.
Great setup mate. What's the gps app you use... Couldn't quite hear..
Thanks mate. Gaia GPS was the one we were using in Tassie
@@TylerThompson90 did you subscribe or just get the free option?
@@stevethorne6535 My mate Tim just gave me the log in code to use his while we were there so not sure how he set his up
Draws and a canopy would go a long way mate
Yeah hoping to upgrade eventually mate
Haha love the bloopers at the end.
Thanks for the video and showing us your setup.
Where’d you get the blue boxers from please?
Thanks mate! Not sure where the blue boxes came from, dad got them 20ish years ago
Cool man
You need to switch to pelican cases instead of that Alu box
How come? I had a pelican type case before the Alu box but I definitely prefer the alu box over it
awww baby face without the giant beard
4wd supa have Kings blue boxes.
Sometimes the old K.I.S.S. Method is the best. Pretty much the same basics I take camping
Whats the KISS method mate? Never heard of it
Keep It Simple Stupid 😅
Fair dinkum, tell me you did not just do a Luke from Drifta thumbs up.
Just a normal thumbs up 🤷♂️
Where is the Crashpad gear made?
Not too sure to be honest mate, don't think its in Australia though
Yeh they're based out of QLD Coollum area, main designer of the products name is Brett, top bloke, used to live in South Aus for years before moving up our way 👌🏼👍🏼
That laugh tho 😂
I don't think there is anyone alive that hasn't called them hockey straps at one point in life, swear they sneakily changed it to ocky and didn't tell anyone 😆😆😆
Far out i been saying hockey strap for years lmao now i know its occy -_-
Yep, it's short for Octopus Strap...
I think you’ve got a grasshopper (or something similar) stuck in your solar blanket, at around 11:10 I could see it’s legs move.
Where's a toilet?
Still not to bad mate 27min I'd rather take an extra 10 15min packing up and having out all your gear and being comfortable
Yep that's it
I remember the days of packing up like this... got myself a camper. Now setup and pack up is under 3 minutes.
Yeah would be a bit quicker with the camper
Hockey strap LMFAO. "I'm sure it has a "H" in there. Hahaha too funny. Lucky the wife was there.
