TASMANIAN QUICKSAND! The Ultimate 4WD bog - Roothy
What's the worst thing that could happen to your 4wd? Yep, quicksand. And despite what people tell you it can and does occur right here in Australia. I've been stuck in quicksand around Coffin Bay in South Australia, along the Eyre Peninsula and ofcourse, the west coast of Tasmania.
Strange isn't it? The worst possible bog in the most beautiful and remote stretch of caost in the world. Usually caused by pools of water stranded at high tide slowly moving under the surface back to the sea at low tide, it doesn't always follow any rules. People who are used to it often say the first couple of vehicles in a convoy will get through but the motion of their wheels will soften up the drop for the third. That's exactly what happened on this trip and all I saw was some shimmying around the wheels, a bit of squirming from the truck in front of me and then - ooomph, down she went. I hopped out and promptly sank to above the knees.
Get a load of this old video, 4WD Monthly's first trip to Tasmania a couple of decades ago, because it's got the lot. I hope you get to have a go at these tracks one day - and hope you've learnt the lessons to avoid too!

I brought this in DVD from ARB 20 years ago , cost me $50 😂 . These early 4wd monthly videos are what got me interested in 4wds’s Thanks John aka Roothy
Thanks for another amazing upload roothy!
Thanks Roothy I've been searching for videos of otis and this one in particular. I wish I'd had the foresight to keep the hundreds of DVDS that came with the magazine.
How good is otis!!
Back before all the insta trendy soy bean lattes from the city’s deciding to take up 4wding as a new hobby.
Awesome vid .. cooking scene at the end in the good old dolphin torch days bought back a few memories.
Back when it was good, before the “send it” “yewww” blokes took over
I agree, hardly ever watch the new stuff
5min in and I haven't heard Roothys voice .. did you have laryngitis, Roothy .
Back when Milo was a full size troop carrier 😍
What a magnificent 4WD adventure...I though quicksand it is just a myth, glad to see a real one in 4WD adventure.
Such a great old clip.
Roothy, you're a champion among men!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stu can you ring the Handbrake and tell her that????
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY Any time Mate!!! We're back in to a lock down in NZ and these videos of yours are a fantastic distraction!! Thanks so much!!!!!
Not sure when this was filmed, but would love to know more about that Suzuki walk around would be awsome. Keep it up tho guys.
Mate it’s epic down there we just did 3days outa trial riding climies and the old mine tracks had a ball filming it best place on earth excellent episode John cheers cobba
Good old 4WDMONTHLY...... Its never been better after the change to action and what they call it now. Still waiting for the 1st fraser DVD to be uploaded Roothy .... Shaun and Glen are to involved into the Crap 4WD27 think what 4x4ing is really about... And Roothy that a mullet mate ...short at the side long in the back, you love it
That Suzuki is an awesome rig!
crikey this goes waaay back! not many people would remember milo 1 as a full size troopy!
I remember this video was the reason I brought my first 4x4 my little mega zookie😉 . And it's blue🤣😂
what year was this filmed? nice to see some old trucks
Those crays ❤
Reeving across the rails is a recipe to fold your frame. The sling tension across that center point will be 4x line pull don't do that
Note the steam pipe winch mount between the frame rails to prevent exactly that - good pick up!!
is that hyper modified jimny?
Very like video 👍
Thank you for using chapters
how long ago was this filmed roothy ? your having fun in my state god its beautiful country.
Otis has a woodpecker 2008 sticker so sometime around then I reckon.
Anyone notice that when our Tassie chef says just a smidgen of an ingredient..... he actually means a smidgen. 😂
Is it me or is there no sound at all. I can hear sound on other vids from youtube tho.
sounds working .. however I can't change the quality?? unavailable??
Handbrakes best pinny 🤠😅🤣
Back before UA-cam!
Strahan is the best place in the world to have half a cray in front of the little cafe. When I was about 10 you could go into a small cafe anywhere in a coastal town like Bicheno, Stanley, Strahan, etc, and eat cray on a blue collar wage. How times change in 60 years, haha.
Last time I was in Tassie $78 a kilo!!!
@@ivanolsen8596 Yep, luxury food nowadays. Mind you, 2 years ago the fishermen were getting much more than that on return to the dock, with all going to China. If you could find it in Melbourne it was $120.
Looks like a young Pat Callahan to me..
Was thinking just that. Checked the comments if anyone thought the same.
Looks like Milo is a little longer than I've seen b4
Love watching the old episodes where they weren’t shilling all that crap Kings gear
Snatch recovery?
😱
Whatever happened to Otis I wonder?...
Last seen sitting outside a shed in Western Sydney, not going, and not looking it would again. But who knows??
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY I saw it driving through the Blue Mountains a few months ago. It's painted black now.
@@JOHNROOTHROOTHY Hey John. I remember years ago a DVD feature you did in the high country where the 4wd action camera car (which was an ex police troopy) snapped a front CV on a track and you drove the thing back out in 2wd ..... I'm sure you will recall....
I've been trying to find a copy of that to show to the missus can you re-post that sometime please if it's still in the archives?
@@thewhiteoxoverland gday mate, roothy uploaded it about 8 months ago, the episode is called something like “WAHALLA BOUND - ROCKING THE VICTORIAN HIGH COUNTRY”. Cheers
@@joe-ig7sz thanks for that mate. I'll check it out. It was an interesting situation as I recall and roothy handled it like a pro!
My god this ones a lifetime ago , pat the hat with no hat on , and tooth with hair ,,,, magic
