What We Pack When Hiking With Kids
Our days of strolling down the trail as a young couple in our swimmers carrying nothing but a drink bottle are long gone. Tackling as many trails as we can with two young boys requires considerably more foresight and packing.
Overland Travel Preparation
The outback regions of Australia have drawn on travellers and explorers’ curiosity for decades. These days outback travel is more accessible than ever. If you’re planning to go somewhere more remote, you need to take some time and ensure you’re prepared.
Games To Play On Hikes With Kids
These are a collection of our favourite family games to play on hikes. Pick whichever will work with the age of your kids and enjoy.

💥FOR SALE💥 2021 ZONE RV 20.6 Base Offroad Family 2 Bunk (2520kg Tare Weight!). Offers over $140,000
Check out this tare weight! Just 2520kg (Almost 1000kg of payload!) This has allowed us to tow this caravan around the country with a stock standard Ford Ranger and stay within all our weight limits, with almost 300L of water on board. That is incredible for a full-size off-road 20'6" family caravan and possibly the lightest Zone RV ever built in this size and spec level! Better still, we didn't skimp on the extras! It's fully kitted out for off-grid living.

It's been a hectic week, with lots of chaos. Sometimes that's how life goes, even when you're doing what you love in incredible locations like this. We can't wait to fill you in with all the details 😛.
An afternoon chilling at the beach was defintely what we all needed to burn off some energy.
This is Simon's happy face when he's just finished editing this week's Off-Grid Safety and Security Youtube episode! AND 24 hrs earlier than usual! Let us know what you thought of the video.
📍Cosy Corner North, Bay of Fires, Tasmania.
Happy weekend😎.
Where are you exploring this weekend?
We are camped up at Swimcart Beach in the Bay of Fires region of Tassie.
It's stunning, but there is a hectic undercurrent, so we took the kids to explore some other bays in the area and found this little gem near Suicide Beach. Let us know if you've got any recommendations for kid friendly swim spots in the Bay Of Fires region 😍
Hope you all have a cracking weekend and get a moment to enjoy this Sunday's Youtube Episode 😎.
You do not find a happy life. You make it.
