The new General 1000 is the ultimate boy’s toy. Not only is it heaps of fun to zip through areas that the trucks would never be able to go, together with the 570 Ute, they’re also the ultimate machines to carry our gear and get us further off the beaten track.

We like to eat as healthily as we can when away filming and having the CFX65 in the truck means that my tucker can stay fresh. If we need anything frozen we usually fire up the CFX50 in the camper and freeze my barramundi fillets down real cold.

When you spend a lot of time camping in the bush, where there is no 240 power to plug into, it’s nice to have a good 12volt system in place. Redarc have a great range of products that handle all our 12 volts needs. Not everyone needs to recharge large camera batteries and production equipment like we do, but the Redarc range meets everyone’s needs. The canopy on my 200 series has been set up with all the Redarc gear.

• 6 x 285/70R17 MTZ P3 Mud-Terrain Tyres
Words from Jase
Tyre choice is very important when you travel into the places that we do. Cape York has some diverse terrain from sticky black soil to sharp rocky country and endless sandy beaches. We relied on the Mickey Thompsons to get through our trip. The tyre pressures are also just as important, by reducing the air pressures in your tyre it can greatly increase the traction. Even on the dirt roads you can drop the air pressures down 5 to 6 psi depending on the load of the 4×4. When you hit the sand you can drop them down to as low as 18 psi and this will make it easer to drive and stop from getting bogged as much, and of course don’t forget the trailers tyres.

We would still be stuck in some of the wettest bogs if it hadn’t been for our MAXTRAX. These lightweight vehicle-recovery devices are easy to carry along and are invaluable to have when you get into a sticky situation.
