Hi gang,
the wife and i are planning to do a trip with friends (in their own 4wd) for 1 month. yes i know it sounds like
heaven.
We are planning to go from
Canberra to
Adelaide, to alice (doing the must sees like kings canyon, and airs
rock etc...) then to
Dalhousie springs, the Simpson (doing all the tracks, the same as the trek on this site) strezleki, then down to
broken hill and back to
Canberra via a couple of other
places.
being away from
home for just on 1 month and not having done this before (away for that period of time) i thought i would ask on
the must haves for traveling in the outback.
First these are the things we have:
Full recovery gear inc winch
ARB roof top tent.
80ltr fridge
2 inch lift
80 ltr fridge
UHF
full
camping equipment for self sufficiency
cooper 285/75/16 STT
netbook with USB GPS and ozi explorer
air compressor
and the things we are getting before the trip:
getting rear airbags fitted very shortly
cargo barrier
tinted windows
water tank
long range tanks
full roof rack, so we can put the roof top tent on the rear and have spare space on the front.
2 spare tyres
epirb
For long range communication, we are going to hire a satphone
also we are going to share
spare parts and tools
Is there anything im missing??? im trying to think of everything that is a need and if there is room, cater for our wants.
the most i have been away traveling for is 2 weeks and lessons learnt from that is dont take as much clothes, as we only used half of our clothing that we took.
hearing from experienced people would be much appreciated.
