About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

Love your "Evening thoughts" mate! (so much truth! I feel for the guys in lock down & to try and stay positive is the main thing) Yes, still planning/working on our adventures, not that we haven't already had some but the fit out of our new/old rig is not cheap with retirement looming, so we are taking it one step at a time as I can afford it (though we have now gone through another winter & we have not been camping even once which absolutely kills us but working hard on getting ready too do so!) P.S. .... it's always the "Blokes Job" to sort the fire cooking & cleaning. In fact, one of the reasons my wife likes camping is I pretty much let her relax, set up camp & cook as much as I can (which includes the cleaning) Happy wife, happy life, so a glass of red in her hand & a chair with nothing more to do than tend to the fire while I set up camp is a great way to start! Sooooooooo looking forward to getting out there again!..... As I've said before, we are so jealous of you guys but get encouraged to seek out what we know is out there. Thanks for another GREAT Video (even if I'm too old to like the music 🤣) Cheers!!

Great tip to clean the grid (assuming you don’t already do so) simply return it to the fire and leave it there all night (& assuming it is safe to do so). In the morning or the end of your time at the fire it will be all burnt off.
