Scott bought a what‽ 2022 Land Rover Defender - how good is this thing!
Scott's back and has been out shopping for his Surf replacement and has gone for something slightly different! We check out his new 2022 Land Rover Defender 110 HSE D300 and see what he has planned for it.
TJM Pro Compressor vs Ridge Ryder/Adventure Kings/Smittybilt/Generic 12 volt air compressor
I've always had portable air compressors and have never quite been happy with them. The extra work required is a pain, so for the Fortuner build I decided to buy a hard mounted pump.
In this video I test out the speed of it vs my Ridge Ryder air compressor!
Getting power up into my rooftop tent - FINALLY! $30 mod to charge phones at night, run lights
It's taken me almost four years to get around to chucking some USB ports up in my Feldon Shelter rooftop tent - not sure why but it's done now and I can finally keep gear charged up easily as I sleep.
GME XRS 330COB Connect UHF radio install - Episode 4, 2022 Fortuner Build
In part four of the Fortuner build I tackle the GME XRS Connect 330 install. Such a nice little unit - and fits into a modern vehicle super well!
Chased off the beach by high tide - exploring the east coast of the Wairarapa
Join me for a super chill trip through the northern Wairarapa! Kicking off at Castle Point I head into the hills, visit an epic waterfall before punching back out to the coast again to wrap things up.
I bought a $1500 trailer and need your help! What should we do with it? Overland trailer build?
In early Feb I bought a $1500 trailer. It was painted a terrible silver colour, had ancient tyres on it and was generally rough. I parked it up in the garage for a month while trying to decide if I should do any work on it or just flick it on.
Campfire pizza? It's possible and super tasty! Trying out a Fire to Fork recipe
No, this isn't turning into a cooking channel - normal service will be returning ASAP. A few weeks ago I was sent a copy of @Fire to Fork 's book and decided to give cooking over fire a shot - it actually turned out pretty decent!

2022 Fortuner Build - Episode 3 - Simple but effective REDARC 12 volt system for camping
It's super easy to go over the top with your 12 volt system - we've kept it super simple for now though with the basics from REDARC, letting us run everything we need at camp to keep the cameras and lights rolling.

2022 Fortuner Build - Episode 2 - Installing a Rhino Rack Pioneer tray with Backbone mounts!
Roof rack is finally installed! Turned out to be a bit more of an ordeal than I expected, but worth it - so much extra room for activities up there.
2022 Fortuner Build - Episode 1 - Wheels/Tyres and many random things
Told myself I'd use one tank of fuel before starting the mods - was a pretty fun day when it finally happened! The Fortuner is looking way better now!
The mods have begun!
Introducing our new 2022 Toyota Fortuner! Why we chose a modern day Hilux Surf
If you've seen our last video, you'll know we sold the Hilux at the end of 2021. It wasn't working well as a family tourer - and it was time for something a bit more "nice". After many test drives we ordered a Fortuner in April 2021 - it finally arrived in January 2022!
Can't wait to get it setup and ready to go for Overland NZ adventures!
The end of an era - saying goodbye to the Hilux. Three and a half years of epic adventures!
Parting with a vehicle you've created awesome memories with is never easy - but we realised not too long after having our first kid that the Hilux, at least the way we had it setup, doesn't work for us as a family.
My thoughts on rooftop tents after three years using one all over New Zealand
We've been running the Feldon rooftop tent for a little over three years now and have tested it all over New Zealand - I still rate rooftop tents as the best way to camp, even if you have to make a few compromises.
Secluded campsite, epic views and crazy high cliffs - a night in the Wairarapa
We shot away for a quick night of camping on the beach - or so we thought! Gale force winds came through and we ended up abandoning camp and heading somewhere more sheltered!

Winter wonderland - Takapari Road IN THE SNOW! Bucket list trip
I've been wanting to get up Takapari Road in the snow for years - finally managed to get everything timed up and headed up the hill for an epic day out in the snow!
Maxxis RAZR AT811 - 15,000km review - I really like them + my thoughts on AT vs MT for overlanding
The Maxxis RAZR AT811 hasn't been out all that long and we get a heap of questions about them, so I thought it was time we did a bit of a review on them - and so far, they're the best tyres I've ever run on any of my four wheel drives.
Nevis Valley - my favourite track in NZ! Amazing views, mud, water - Nevis has everything!
In this episode we explore one of my all time favourite tracks in New Zealand - Nevis Valley! From the giant skies, the amazing valleys and the incredible views, the valley offers everything a overlanding/4wd adventure needs!
