I'm old fashioned, a bushman and solo Overlander, exploring the Pilbara where I live and Australia as a whole.
I'm teaching myself film making to share my travel experiences with my 2 year old son so he can watch this years from now.
I'm also sharing them with you, many people will never get to see or go to the places I'm going so I hope you find them interesting.
Enjoy the weekly videos, the solo eXpedition's into the Kimberley and the world longest and most remote 4WD track the 2000km Canning Stock Route. There is so much more to come and I'm excited to share it with you.

Hey Gav... awesome CSR vid. Just seen you mentioned you wouldn't need much of reason to do it again. If your keen, get in touch. Lets plan it. I'm solo but got a few dogs if that ain't a problem??? Let me know brother ....
la locomotora lleva escrito el nombre de rio español
Why don't they "slash" the side of the track ?
Nicely described video on the iridium Extreme 9575. We are one of the very few iridium Authorized Repair Centers that perform many different repair services on the iridium Extreme 9575 & other iridium models over the last 10+ years. Through the course of its use since 2012 to the current 9575N we assist the manufacturer with noted in field analysis to make sure it stays as rough/ tough like you noted & that it stays reliable in all areas of environmental types of use. So you described the ruggedness very well as that is one of its many strengths. Some of the things many don’t realize about the iridium 9575 is that it has military seals all over & inside the device to protect against things like the dust in your video from getting into sensitive areas. The cool thing about the 9575 or 9575N is that when it’s sent in for a repair that involves opening the phone like a damaged antenna or LCD screen they actually end up getting their same 9575/957N device back refurbished looking new. The reason for this is because there are special IP65 rated seals and more that need to be replaced & reinstalled so that when it put back together the satphone is back to its original water resistant, dust resistant rugged status. We enjoy working with many testing specialists on UA-cam like yourself that reach the public to help them not just with any support you may need , but also to help assist you with need to know features that may help your followers get the right device for their safety, out in the bush, mountains, water or other. If you need any help with your followers with questions on the iridium 9575/9575N Extreme Satellite Phone , we would be more than happy to help you with anything from support or repair assistance, but also to help promote you on our site so that people go to you to see how to use or understand the device or many other devices you may wish to talk about on your UA-cam channel. Feel free to contact us or collaborate together with test equipment & support at support@northernaxcess.com or call/text at +1.619.207.4117 or our website At NorthernAxcess.com By the way, nice frontend picture for the video. Sincerely, The NorthernAxcess Support Team
What an awesome series of videos. I can't believe how you did it alone. Completely chilled. No dramas. Other videos have people loosing their sh!t...cars breaking... I think the secret is to be prepared and take it easy...
Thanks Tony, I'm glad you liked the videos.
Holy hell this is too awesome
Gavin its such a lovely day to sit with you exploring this wonderful country
i love your love of our country and watching your video's inspire me so much to do them. i feel i already know these tracks and every bump when i travel them. thank you so much for making these amazing videos of you beautiful country
Gavin. this trip i have always wanted to do and watching you do it with everything i now want to do that. I am so amazed and watched the whole series in one day. It was like i was sitting right with you all the way and this is what i liked about your journey, you showed us what the track was like and what is the best way to drive etc and to see the road while your drove i loved that. The view with your drone was special to see the country from above was so lovely to see, sometimes when you drive you don't get to see past the road. i am so excited to do this trip and would love you to help me or see what i need to do to make this a journey of a life time that you did or lets do this together :). thank you for inspiring us. loved every minute of it.
Hey Gav, what’s the name of the awesome gorge you visited?😊 cheers Sascha
Windjana😅 Got it😅
Still watching your videos! Do you plan new trips?
G'day, mate. Yes, I ppan on doing more trips in the future. Work has been hectic for years now but I recently changed companies and I think i'll have a better work life balance soon.
That sounds great! Had the same issues 2018-2022 - then I changed. And I plan coming back to Australia within the next 3-4 years. It’s such a beautiful country - would like to take all my friends and family and move there…
@@Saschius I'm glad to hear you will be back and your friends and family would be very welcome to come too :D
Wow Gavin, just finished watching all your 8 part series, thanks for all your valuable knowledge, legend!
you just cant beat the looks of the land cruiser.
Hey Gavin been watching you tube for time and just came across your Chanel I like to say I really enjoy the way you present your show I know some time has passed since you aired this video but I have a question can the canning stock route be crossed in a hilux with a 145L tank and a twenty litre jerry can you called into and mentioned some aboriginal communities as you were passing by can I fuel up at this communities keeping in mind my limited fuel capacity cheers
Please come back mate. UA-cam needs you.
Hahah thanks mate - i'm not sure i can come back for a while ... living the dream though. Started a very cool innovation role in the defense and aerospace industry. I appreciate you though, comments like yours remind me how much fun it is going on these trips and making videos
@@GavinGillett all the very best mate. I’ll keep my fingers crossed you’ll one day find the time again.
@@mazdar100 thanks mate
Hi Gavin we all haven’t heard anything from you recently are you still doing UA-cam? Cheers
Mate even though I like your content you shouldn't be walking through aboriginal burial sites let alone broadcast it on you tube
Hi, mate. Do you still recommend the BP-51s today or is there another kit you’d prefer now?
Just recently found your channel. Great video! Just wondering where this is / which track(s) you took? Was this Gregory Gorge (coming in from the East, Millstream) and meeting the SUPpers at Fortescue Roadhouse? Couldn‘t find too many details / obvious tracks on Exploroz… Greetz from Europe, Sven
Total respect for the local indigenous. I live in a cultural community in NT and love the respect travellers have for the communities.
Hi there I’m interested to see how the DBA brakes have performed long term?
I came across this video also. Thought it would be good but the controlled testing was pretty average. Test shows the driver coming off the accelerator prior too braking and they were putting the foot on the brake when they came to the witches hat. To much human intervention resulting in too many variances. The new brakes were probably better but seriously not a controlled testing process.
Why I Looked Uo Chrome Ingconto Mode See Satellite Phone 📱 Now You Tube Ads Now How Convenient Ads
I had this on my to watch list, for some time.. I forgo about it and watched it now. Oh my word, what a wonderful video. Thank you so much!
thanks mate, glad you liked it
hway don't you respect privacy, what about if i install put a Cam in your tolelette.
Dont smoke drugs, it messes with your mind
stop spying my internet booso
Wonderful, just love following your adventures 😊
Good work, love the relaxed feel you portray on the video. Great track Googs, keep up the good work.
HI Gavin, Those figures don't add up...I am think he is getting his performances specs wrong as our 2019 twin turbo L/Cruiser Diesel engine produces 210kw (286 hp) 650 N/M standard. i know this video is 4 years ago...however, I'm confused about what was said at the 10minute 40 second mark in the video... increasing the turbo boost and various other mods bumps up performance to 240 horsepower and the torque from 650 to 800 N/M torque. Seems to me that he has confused the base factory specs of the single turbo (151kw, 202hp, 430N/M) with twin turbo (210kw, 286hp, 650N/M)? So what would the performance increase be for the twin turbo model? Would it be 360hp? Also, I am not convinced the torque improvement on the twin turbo would be only 800N/M if increasing turbo boost of the single turbo model by 4 psi is going to increase the N/M torque to over 800N/M? Makes me wonder whether or not the remapping is worthwhile? Torque convertor lockup definitely seems a good idea for fuel economy...i think that may be a good option.
Hi Gavin. Your videos are awesome! I have enjoyed watching this CSR series a number of times now. Have finally sorted my Leave for 2023 and will be heading North to South also along the CSR. I am just trying to sort my itinerary out (roughly). Would you mind letting me know how many days you were on the route and the areas/ well's you stayed at. I have roughly worked out 47 first night, 40, then near 36, then 33 near Kunawarritji, then 30 and then possibly 26? These are only rough obviously, but just want an idea on how many days roughly you were on the track. Thank you very much in advance for any advice. Adam

Down to Earth reveiw.
Have you had to install new pads? Been told the rotors wrap and need machining each set off pads and are pointless after that and are really just throw away each set off pads. Wondering as can't see any long term reviews?
Gavin, I hope things are going awesome with work and all but I miss ya mate! Hope to see something from you in the near future.
19 yr half life, higher density elements retain radons more than others and you got ya gonads dangling 8 inches from a pile of steel. Bogans !!??
Thank you for the excellent series on the CSR, the best I've seen. The drone footage high altitude panoramic sweeps really gives s sense of the vastness and topography of the subject . Very enjoyable series , looking forward to seeing more of your work, Congratulations.
spent 4000 emu bp 51 with upper control arm old man and they are waste of money ….they are rubbish and after 3weeks already start making noise it’s complete waste of money buy cheap so u don’t feel bad if they don’t work….don’t know about other old man shock the one I have most expensive bp 51 and they are very uncomfortable and least realiba…… I purchased coz of all fake advertising on you tube that the are the best but they are below standard and way more expensive then any other shocks…..now I’m buying different and cheap chocks like fox shocks or bilsrein for less then half priced what I wasted on old man and I hope they would be better……if u have money to waste and want to do experiment then buy old man emu.
Gav thanks.. what is your settings for the bp1 ? Can you do that for me! Thanks
My settings wont help you. The total weight of the car, the distrobution of weight north and south. The speed ou drive on track all play a part to the comfort of the ride. However, what i can tell you is that the majority of terrain I encounter is harsh corrugations. WA is a very flat state so I dont find myself rock hopping that often. My vehicle was run with suspension configured to move fast, compress fast (soft) and rebound fast (firm) - onroad in my daily commute it was a little stiff and not as comfortable as it could be. But when fully loaded she was perfect. When driving on a beach or a mountain trail I have a different configuration. I always setup my suspension for the hard work of offroading, not the easy commute. Primarily because its not that easy and convenient to change it all the time with the ammount of 4wding I do. Its very hard to give you settings because i change mine all the time. My vehicle weights 3.8t and that is mostly to the rear (60/40) My settings for a beach or high speed trail are drasticly different to the settings i use on corrugations or a slow rocky track. My suggestions is, start with the defualt settings and drive many types of terrain. Aim to keep your vehicle level and the wheels attatched to the ground at all times and then adjust for traction then comfort. Hope that helps :D
Thanks for your sharing the adventure video, Gavin! I am in California, USA, but did live and travel in Australia when I was a kid.
So you lost 1mm of tread after 12,000 km's , how much did you loose after the brake testing ?.
A lot, that was hard testing and not all the tests made the video e.g I messed up the recording or missed the marker. However, I dont recall exactly how much but it was roughly 1/4 of the pad was used in testing. In addition, I noticed the most wear when breaking in mud. After a long day of driving through flood waters and mud I noticed significant wear. Over all, the pads didnt last as long as normal pads (partly due to the test) but did perform significnatly better.
Awesome series once again. Just a thought, you should hit up Ineos for copyright on you red A in your logo.
hahah yes I should :D bastards :D
What's going on gav no more Vid's, not travelling anymore
G'day mate .... i've been trying to get out but I keep getting awesome projects at work that are taking my full attention. However, I do plan to do the CSR again. Just not sure if it will be this year :D I have 19 weeks of leave though hahah its coming
