Great to see Katie got out of her comfort zone with towing, must have been so scary going through some of those experiences, good that you guys are so much more prepared now!

[davekerr]

There is so much good advice there, team. My wife can tow our van competently. It's important.
You mentioned the time you broke your foot. I remember when you did that Paul. That was around the time I first started following you guys. I just didn't realize how long ago that was. You've certainly come a long way & it's been great watching you develop as a team & provide such fabulous content.
I've mentioned you to a number of people over here when we're caravaning, and you have quite a following over here. Thanks guys. 😊

Hello there Beautiful family 🌻
I saw you guys at the SA caravan & camping show, I was starstruck wanting to say Hi but my nerves got the better of me 😊
I have been following your many adventures since the pandemic. Thank you so much for all that you do 🌷 you have definitely awoken my love for the great camping lifestyle.
My partner and I make it a date night watching your videos to pick up great tips and all the awesome places you’ve visited….
Your efforts are much appreciated ⭐️
God bless 🙏❤️

[lindaneumann]

Great tips and advice, thanks for sharing. Particularly glad you spoke about UHF radios in the car and how to talk to truckies.

[markhopkins]

Thanks guys, as always enjoyed the video, lots of great info . Keep up the great work ! 👍👍🍻🍻

[jameshowie]

What a great episode! So jam packed full of practical information, definitely going to have to organise a Grab Bag, what kinds of things do you include in yours?

[michelledavis]

So wanted to get to Adelaide to see you live but didn't happen thank you for sharing your talk. I brought your E book soon after buying our van . It has been so helpful in getting us prepared. The check lists are a great help. I live in the riverland and am looking forward to seeing your show on 7 plus. Thank you

I use two uhf radios when in a convoy. I set my vehicle set on Ch.40 and my handheld on the chosen convoy channel. I can keep contact with both convoy and other road users.

[captainkipper]

Fantastic advice guys!
I realised I must be a true fan, because most of that archived footage I’ve seen before in your eps haha.
Also- as someone who lives in a fire prone area, def write down a list to put it in the bag of any ‘last min’ items that you need to put into the grab bag (phone, charger etc) as in a stressful situation your brain doesn’t always think straight.

[fyiaustralia]

Great advice with getting on the UHF channel when someone's near you. I have a UHF radio, don't use it on the road but I should. A number of times I've been trailed by interstate trucks waiting to overtake me. Eventually I find a spot to pull off the road like a road intersection, but I feel for the truckies behind me getting frustrated not knowing when I could let them pass.

[CherylKing-vpyb]

Loved your presentation learned a lot. As you travel sometimes in remote locations if you don’t have phone service what do you guys use in case say car breaks down etc.

[seapea]

love your videos guys just wondering what is the clothes line you guys have for your awning? and what is the track size option you have chosen. 6mm or 7.5mm ? we ordered a Zone and looking at getting the same one as you have. Cheers

[NXAussie]

Hi, love watching you guys..but when is Jasper getting a little brother or sister to play with ??
Cheers
