I'm Paul from Camping Downunder. I share 4WD adventures, product reviews, and camping tips through Instagram and YouTube—helping others beyond photos with installs, reviews, and real touring experiences.

I'm Paul from Camping Downunder, and I’ve been sharing my passion for camping and 4WD adventures for over seven years. What started as weekly snapshots on Instagram quickly grew into something bigger—I wanted to help people in a way that photos alone couldn’t capture. So, I launched my YouTube channel over five years ago, diving into 4WD accessory installations, product reviews, and, eventually, my own camping and touring adventures.

After a lifetime exploring South Australia’s rugged landscapes, I found myself drawn to Western Australia’s breathtaking South West. A few years back, I took a three-week trip for the 4WD show, and from the moment I hit the coast, I knew this was home. With a leap of faith, I sold everything, packed up my 1989 Hilux, and made the move west.

Recently, I’ve been busy building my ultimate setup—a 2024 Hilux extra cab, fitted with the lightweight X-Series chassis-mounted canopy—which now gives me the confidence to take on even bigger solo trips, knowing I have a reliable setup that can take me anywhere.

I am excited to share my journey, expertise and adventures with the MRT community!

Explore Bound was born from my love of DIY, camping, and adventure. At 17, I bought an old 4WD, sparking years of learning, tinkering, and building my perfect touring setup.

Explore Bound was born from my love of DIY, camping, and epic adventures. After growing up in a family who loved exploring the great outdoors, it was only natural that at 17, I saved up and purchased an old 4WD to kick off some adventures of my own. That car showed me that where the bitumen stopped was where the adventure began, and jump-started my interest in tinkering and modifying (old cars really are the best to learn on!). Flash forward 13 years and my love of DIY and tinkering is stronger than ever. I'm fortunate to have the 4WD setup of my dreams which has provided me with the perfect blank canvas to build a camping setup that suits my needs.

I've documented the build process of my setup and the adventures spent putting it all to good use on YouTube, with a lot more adventures yet to come! My partner Bianca is a massive part of the channel too, not only joining me on many adventures but also always being my go-to for everything that goes on behind the scenes to put together each episode. We've got some huge things planned for the next chapter of Explore Bound, taking everything to the next level from DIY projects to epic adventures, and we can't wait to share this with our audience.

Wherever you are in the world, there are new places waiting to be explored and adventures waiting to be had. I hope the channel inspires you to get out there, have a go, and seize that next adventure!

We’re café owners and coffee lovers who took connection beyond four walls. With MRT, we built an off-grid coffee canopy to serve great coffee from beaches to footy fields.

We’re café owners, coffee lovers, and community builders who wanted to take connection beyond four walls. With MRT’s help, we created a fully off-grid coffee canopy—so we can serve great coffee wherever people gather, from remote beaches to local footy fields.

Built into the back of our 4WD, it’s a complete mobile café—customised with everything we need to brew on the go. Whether we’re chasing waves, camping off-grid, or showing up for a school fundraiser, our setup keeps us ready to roll and rooted in connection.

For us, it’s about more than coffee—it’s about people and creating something meaningful on the move. And we’re excited to share it all with the MRT community, one brew at a time.

We’re two mates who turned a passion for drones into a career, evolving from DIY rigs to capturing world-class aerial footage for Red Bull, Formula 1, Nike, FIFA, and more.

We’re two mates who turned a passion for drones into a full-time career capturing some of the most dynamic aerial footage in the country. What started with racing drones and DIY rigs has evolved into a world-class aerial cinematography business working with clients like Red Bull, Formula 1, Nike, and FIFA.

With backgrounds in competitive drone racing—including a World Championship win—our edge is precision. We specialise in everything from high-speed FPV and cinematic fly-throughs to large-format drone rigs, and hold specialised CASA exemptions that let us fly closer, lower, and smarter than most.

Every job is different, which is why we’ve kitted out our crew car with an MRT canopy to keep our gear safe, powered, and ready—whether we’re in the city or off-road in the middle of nowhere.

We live and breathe this work, and we’re stoked to be part of a community pushing what’s possible in film, tech, and 4x4.

Food and adventure go hand in hand for us. When we discovered the COB Grill, we knew we had to bring it to Australia—a cooking solution that could go anywhere, do anything, and handle the wildest off-grid feasts with ease.

Our MRT canopy helps us take that passion even further. We customised it from the ground up to house a complete outdoor kitchen, plus all the essentials: surfboards, dive gear, fishing kits, and whatever else we need for the trip. Our favourite part? The trundle drawer—it’s a fish filleting station, prep bench, and serving platform all in one.

From Straddie seafood cookups to remote beach dinners, we’re living the dream—and we’re excited to share every flavour-filled mission with the MRT community.

Home cooks who took our recipes outside. Rise & Grill started as a place to share simple recipes and how-to videos—proof that anyone can give it a crack. Somewhere along the way, camping took over. There’s nothing like a beachfront fire, lighting the charcoal, and hearing that first crackle of crispy pork belly.

We began with the bare basics—tiny tent in Canada, a single frypan over the fire, no plates or cutlery—just eat from the pan and call it dinner. Back in Australia, we learned the local way and levelled up from an old Nissan Patrol that barely fit the BBQs to a brand-new Mazda BT-50 kitted with an MRT canopy. Now the whole kitchen rolls with us: a full pantry of rubs and supplies, drawers for utensils and fire-starting gear, the charcoal cooker, the pizza oven—everything in its place.

Pull up, pop the canopy, and we’re cooking: fresh taco wraps over the fire, low-and-slow at camp, handmade pizzas for family and friends. We didn’t realise how much we needed this setup until we had it—it just fits our lifestyle. And we can’t wait to share the next cook-up with the MRT community.

I’m a 19-year-old surfer from Clifton Beach, Tasmania. Growing up with adventure-loving parents gave me a love for the outdoors, camping, wilderness, and especially the ocean. With Shipstern Bluff as my home break, I fell for big-wave slab surfing early; I caught my first one at 14, and I’ve been chasing swells around Australia and beyond ever since.

Remote missions demand solid prep and reliable gear. For me, that starts with a Ranger XLT and an MRT Explorer chassis-mount canopy. Simple, tough, and easy to tailor. Day to day, it’s my runabout; when it’s time to go, it quickly turns into a travel rig that carries camping gear, safety kit, boards, and tows a jet ski just about anywhere.

I’ve kept the canopy setup light and practical: an open layout with an 85L fridge and dual battery, plus a streamlined T-section roof that can take a rooftop tent when needed, while keeping drag down. It all proved itself on a three-month road trip to Gnarloo Station, over 20,000 km, no dust ingress, and hardware that held up even when I (accidentally) crossed the Nullarbor with both doors open. Lesson learned: always do a walkaround. The goal stays the same: get to the waves safely, travel light, and keep the focus on the next swell.
