Awesome blog post mate. Very inspiring actually.

I need to gear up so I have a few questions
So you carry two spares?
Whats the range of the CB radio? It looks a nice size
Would you stay well away from the dry dust with the standard factory tyres? I notice you have them in some posts.
Any other equipment you'd recommend? Those ramps look VERY handy.
Dual battery setup?

Hi Phillip, not only I carry two spares, but also I carry a Tyre Pliers Kit, I'm so freaking out to be stranded somewhere without the means to fix a wrecked tyre. The rocks around the Flinders are very sharp and the rocks in the Sturt Stony Desert are also sharp and numerous.

My UHF radio is a Uniden UH076SX-NB and can reach up to 15 km, it was sufficient for Simpson Desert, very happy with it. I also have a IsatPhone and buy the smallest possible one month credit lasting unused for 12 months.

I crossed the Simpson Desert and Sturt Stony Desert and Oodnadatta Track with my original standard tyres. I had only two flats and the first one I got on the side of the highway driving to Bourke, the second one was a sharp rock on the Oodnadatta Track, but I was driving too fast. I consider myself very lucky on this trip, nowadays I have huge AT tyres (Geolandar A/T – S 245/70/17 ) and they make big difference. For the new tyres I got a tyre pressure monitor (tyredog td-1000a), which is doing good job.

Apart from the "VERY handy ramps" (MaxTrax), I think a good powerful 12 v compressor is a must (I carry two, to have a back up) as well as an air jack, but haven't used it yet, as I have a long handled shovel, witch combined with a vigorous will to get out of a bog is another must.

I don't have a dual battery setup yet, but I am planning to get one (for now I carry a jump starter).

Good luck!
