Around Europe/Asia in a Shorty

Same plastic. I should cut it out. Sitting idling in 30c under the sun will see 71c temperatures on the battery, and shut off my solar charger

Ta
I have zip tied the ol meat thermometer in there presently. 15c morning with a 10 minute 60km/h drive it was sitting on 42c. Think lithiums are happy to about 60c. I have put some turbo shield around the motor side of the battery in the hope of deflecting heat, but more air flow won't hurt. Think your grill with the plastic cut out will look better than mine with holes drilled in the chrome look. Might also remove the bonnets rear seal on the fire wall.

Awesome, you look like you can camp anywhere. I presume that's not the case but there also isn't much around. How you doing it?

Love the country sticker collection on the back, I'm jealous.

Also think the beer can is great, a can with character and worth collecting.

Well done

Hi, I have been following your blog from the beginning. Pretty impressive travels and amazing photography , although I feel that this may be the skills of the photographer. Can I asked what camera equipment are you using?

We use an app called ioverland which gives us locations. But sometimes we just wing it on how it feels and how the country reacts to bush camping. We only had 1 issue in Iran, and you don’t really argue when told to move. Lol.

and it’s a good beer to boot!

All photos prior to the start of the Iran section are done with a rebel xs, using kit lenses and a tamron 18-70 I think, all of which are almost 14 years old and full of dust, from Iran on my wife got me a new camera for Christmas, a rebel T8i and I am just reusing all my old lenses. But honestly 95% of blog photos are done with a iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Yeah, how awesome are the camera phones now-days? I use a OnePlus Nord and Firstlight app (android) pretty much all the time with a Sony Alpha 6000 when I'm feeling serious. They say the best camera is the one you have with you at the time.
Anyway I'm travelling vicariously through your pictures so keep em coming . Safe travels to you both.
