Hey it’s Oldmate.

Ultimate Adventures Podcast · July 13, 2023, 07:05:40 PM

Hey all, Some of you guys may remember me. (The original Oldmate). I couldn't log in under my original name. So thought I would use the podcast one anyway.
Some off you may not want to remember me, but anyway, I am back to check out what has been going.
We have made a lot of friends from this group, some who we try and avoid, some who we still camp with.

.
So since I was here last, we have sold the GU, then gold a Colorado, then sold the ultimate and the Colorado, and bought 18ft van and. GMC 2500. We have since been living in the van, 12months exactly today and are living and working our way around Australia. At our rate it will take 10 years. We are currently on the NSW south coast.
The podcast I started in 2019 and had a mate who I met through this group co host with me. Since we have been on the road it is now myself, and Lyndall. There is not many camping/travel podcasts for Australia and the ones that are here don't last long or stay active.
I hope I can change that.
Anyway, enough of me.

See you guys around.

Welcome back new old mate. I know what it's like to be reincarnated from an old forumner, seeing I was once grey...........

I've listened to a few of your podcast episodes and recommend a listen to others.

Hoping we might bump into each other around the country again one day soon

Oh, and yes I'd try and suggest you avoid catching up with bad Scott.........unless you want a riotess campfire belly laugh, then definitely do a trip with him:-)

Give me some feed back on the pod thanks mate. People listen but never share their thoughts so you don't know.
We are going to start including more guests, both travelers and industry experts.

an old saying 'what goes around, comes around' or something like that.

If fb keeps making itself difficult to use, (and banning people) platforms like this may be given another life. A few of us have also started using the 'signal' app as an alternative to fb messenger so bad scott can still send bad memes😄

Harbourmaster · July 15, 2023, 08:35:20 PM

Bad Scott only thinks the pod cast is ok because he can't get on fb, agree with signal we use it a lot, also instead of wattsapp

Hey welcome back,
Wondered where you got to. I sold the Col 7 after 5years have now after another 5 years sold the last Trailblazer and have now gone to the Dark side with a new Petrol Y62 Patrol.

Hey Rob.
How's things bud?
Yep we sold our Collie just last year before leaving Nothing wrong with a Y62. If I didn't cart all my tools with me, it would of been my choice of tug also.
Yeah still doing carpentry but closed the GC business down. Just on my way to Moruya actually where I'll be helping a builder till octoberish. But yeah, I'm pretty god dam relaxed to be honest.
