When it comes to embarking on a gold detecting expedition, there's nothing more exciting than the promise of unearthing precious nuggets amidst the rugged landscapes of Western Australia.

However, such journeys demand rugged gear that can withstand the harshest elements.

Our recent adventure to Western Australia's goldfields wouldn't have been as successful without the reliable companion that stood guard at the back of our ute throughout the entire trip – our North Storm 60L Waterproof Duffel Bag.

As you can see we never stop testing our gear to it's limits!

1. THE JOURNEY BEGINS: PRODUCT TESTING

From the moment we loaded our essential gear into the North Storm 60L Waterproof Bag, we knew this was going to be a test of a different kind - Weeks of red-dirt and dust.

This heavy-duty bag boasts a roll-top closure system, guaranteeing an airtight seal that would keep water, dust, and dirt at bay during our long drive from South Australia to Western Australia.

2. DEFYING THE DUST: THE BATTLE AGAINST THE RED DIRT

The Australian Outback is notorious for its vibrant red dirt, and as we ventured across the Nullabour and into the heart of the goldfields, we were met with dusty trails and unpaved roads.

However, our North Storm duffel bag emerged as the unsung hero, unyielding to the relentless assault of the red dirt.

When we finally reached our destination, our gear remained spotless, and our clothing and sleeping bags were in pristine condition!

Below we have captured the moment we opened our duffel for the first time after 3000km of rest dirt abuse. The section that is still clean is the roll top area. Even we were impressed!

3. RAIN OR SHINE: THE PERFECT SHIELD

While the Outback is known for its arid climate, weather conditions can be unpredictable.

During our stay, believe it our not we encountered a few surprise rain showers.

Luckily, our North Storm duffel bag proved its worth by keeping our equipment dry, ensuring nothing impeded our gold detecting efforts.
