It must have been a tough time! Beautiful Unimog! And beautiful color. It is splendid! There must not be many in the USA! Ours is much older, but it does the job! For slow travel, it's ideal! Enjoy with your baby 🥰 PS: we put subtitles in our videos if you feel like it 😉
The first mistake was to drive in there The second mistake: such passages never with fully inflated tires (and that with such equipment) And third: if the profile of the tires are glued, full throttle so that the wheels spin and the dirt flies out! Good luck 😎
Hi guys just found your channel (drive a vw syncro, unimog is the next step) , remember to always deflate your tyres in soft non grippy situations. Especially when you have an autodeflation system.....no excuse not to use it. As a fellow Scot good to see the St. Andrews flag flying at the back of the vehicle. keep on truckin!!
Just caught up with your desperate story and magic ending. Wow! Looked very dicey sliding back with no traction to steer. Lucky, lucky encounter in the middle of nowhere saving the day. Glad you guys are still safely on the adventure trail.
Cheers Reg. It was pretty scary I must admit but all good again now and have got ourselves some mean traction boards heaven forbid we find ourselves in a similar position 😱
We considered bringing the snow chains with us from the UK, but they’re really heavy to carry on suck a long trip for possible occasional use. Good idea though - I’d never considered that !
We might have tried reducing the tyre pressures, but there was so much clay clinging to them we didn’t. Good suggestion though - it might have helped 👍
@@dollysdiary160 That was my first question, tyres seem very inflated in the footage. Seems to be a CTIS equipped vehicle, with easy temporary deflation making a vast difference in ability in poor conditions. Beware however de-beading front wheels at sub 1 Bar with extreme steering movement at low pressures in the absence of Hutchinson beadlock wheels.
@@dunglass1 Have a look at Australian antics in sand and also Unimog's own video showing dramatic improvement from deploying pressure reduction, so easy with CTIS. I've fitted aluminium Hutchinson rims on my U2150 camper with OEM CTIS (still in fitout !) to overcome the debeading risk, after campaigning a U1250 previously without either . Never stuck, but a few hairy moments when tracks turned to quagmire and soft sand stretches in Iceland. Your box interior looks epic !
IF EVER stuck in utah again save these 2 names , diesel Dave UA-cam channel and Brian’s off-road recovery. Diesel Dave’s is in northern utah but he goes everywhere and does FREE recovery for content on his UA-cam channel, and brian is near Moab utah south eastern. Dave has pulled out 18 wheelers sunk to the axles in clay, he has a US military 10x10 recovery vehicle , just bought a Blackhawk helicopter , he loves to help people. Both hve UA-cam channels, look them up and subscribe, you’ll see some unreal recoveries they’ve done and next time you’re in trouble send him a message . I’m a single dad of daughters not far from Moab Utah and 100% plan to have a UNIMOG4 season overlander when I’m retired . For now I have a fully built Toyota 4Runner overlander and it does great, but a UNIMOG has been the dream for soo long! If u haven’t been thru Moab urah yet go down there, Unimogs off-road all the time on the sandstone trails. Great grip and friendly. People if u get stuck

We all do it my friend, can’t wait to see the tattoo 😀🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yikes! Those were some scary shots. Glad you made it out safely.

Where is Garth?
Hello there, I wonder how shall I sort out road tax, mot and insurance if I want to drive a uk motorhome for a world tour more than a year?
It’s a commonly asked question.
Simplest thing is to SORN it once you’ve left the UK then tax & MOT it immediately upon your return 👍
Ahhh, that's interesting 👍🏻
Ever thougth about snow chains?
We considered bringing the snow chains with us from the UK, but they’re really heavy to carry on suck a long trip for possible occasional use. Good idea though - I’d never considered that !
tyre pressure???

@@philhealey449 Thanks for the tip - I’ll bear that in mind should a similar situation occur 🤞

When you get to Oregon you should let him give you a tattoo ⚓
Already discussed 😜
