From down-to-earth chats with Bushman Fridges and Trangia to the 12V appliances episode that split the comments section \u2013 our gear gurus unpack what you watched, what you debated, and what they loved most. Along the way, Lauren returns from the Larapinta Trail with desert storms, wildflowers, and a hard-won lesson in trail food, while Ben stands by the four beers in his hiking pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, it&#8217;s down to business: two 12-episode seasons a year with recording blocks in between \u2013 meaning fewer episodes, but better ones. Be it road tests you want run, interviews filmed on location, or your own rig in the hot seat \u2013 tune in for how you can help shape what&#8217;s coming, the lowdown on the lightweight 38-kilo Trailpeak, and a tight-lipped teaser of the special episode landing in November, before the new season rolls out in early December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vlcsnap-2026-09-21-13h57m52s117-copy-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vlcsnap-2026-09-21-13h57m52s117-copy-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vlcsnap-2026-09-21-13h57m52s117-copy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vlcsnap-2026-09-21-13h57m52s117-copy-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vlcsnap-2026-09-21-13h57m52s117-copy-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vlcsnap-2026-09-21-13h57m52s117-copy-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/vlcsnap-2026-09-21-13h57m52s117-copy-10x6.jpg 10w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Recording the final season 6 episode in the Trailpeak.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timestamps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>00:00<\/strong> &#8211; Intro: Recording from a Rooftop Tent<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>01:35<\/strong> &#8211; Season Highlights: Bushman Fridges and Trangia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>04:06<\/strong> &#8211; Our Most-Watched Episode: 12V Appliances<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>05:29<\/strong> &#8211; A Moto Guzzi Interruption (and Motorcycle Touring)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>07:24<\/strong> &#8211; 12V Power Draw and Our Most-Commented Episodes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>09:25<\/strong> &#8211; Lauren&#8217;s Larapinta Trail Wrap-Up and Trail Food Lessons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14:37<\/strong> &#8211; Why We&#8217;re Changing: Fewer Episodes, Better Content<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>18:09<\/strong> &#8211; What&#8217;s Next: November Special and December Return<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>20:28<\/strong> &#8211; The Inspired Overland Trailpeak Rooftop Tent<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>26:07<\/strong> &#8211; Call-Out for Your Ideas and Season Wrap-Up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Products mentioned<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/inspired-overland\">Inspired Overland rooftop tents<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/camping-cookware#?pagenumber=1&amp;orderBy=0&amp;brands=225\">12V appliances<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/solar-12v-power#?pagenumber=1&amp;orderBy=0&amp;type=1768,4333\">Solar panels<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/bushman-fridges\">Bushman Fridges<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/trangia\">Trangia stoves<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other episodes mentioned<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ep204 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-inside-bushman-fridges-with-tommy-stockdale\/\">Inside Bushman Fridges with Tommy Stockdale<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ep206 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-the-trangia-story\/\">From Sweden to Campsites Worldwide | The Trangia Story<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ep194 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-12v-appliances-are-a-thing-now\/\">12V Appliances are a Thing Now!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ep192 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-underrated-camping-gear-that-just-works\/\">Underrated Camping Gear That Just Works<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ep207 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowys.com.au\/blog\/podcast-hiking-the-larapinta-where-to-start\/\">Thinking About Hiking the Larapinta?
