But apart from that. The isuzu has been very impressive, I might get me one in the near future but with a manual transmission. Good on ya Graham.

    Hi guys my name is Anthony I get up at 2am every day to watch your episodes. I’ve seen them all 4 times over even beers in the shedded. I love ever truck you take away but the smack is a surprising weapon. I live in Victoria and have been dreaming of taking my family on the tracks you guys go especially the high country. My partner has been through a transplant and the relaxation of a tip away as a family is our dream. I’ve been searching for and 80series like the red camera car but even that is an expensive goal with medical bills.

      Mainly the reason I'm hooked on watching everything you guys produce,
      You provide more knowledge than anyone by far in this scene.
      From simple rocks in ruts to ratchet straps and the theory you're using behind the madness, the camera angles the crew is getting, for example:
      - when rockets Springs fell out and you stapped it to hold even in an off camber mud climb.
      -Your tips to us who are living outside of Australia and need to know basic requirements, for water food weather to expect both extremes of the years,
      - Your ongoing support to local businesses who create some amazing innovate products, like those clearview mirrors I had no idea they pulled out further or had 180deg of movement,
      -The absolute full extent of what you can do with maxtrax gives us so many limitless possibilities to go back and re rethink something that could be passed so simply.
      You guys truly are amazing, and so good to watch, never a dull moment.
      The impersonations of each other are hilarious.
      All in all 15/10
      How good!

      Feed the tail down the centre of the rope to finish it off nicely. It also helps lock in the splice when the rope squeezes it as tension increases.

  • @CrippledMerc
    @CrippledMerc 4 роки тому

    One of my favorite and most useful “hacks” for being out in the wilderness while trying to pack carefully and properly is to get a couple automotive shammy’s that they use for drying off a car after washing and detailing. You can get them at any automotive or general shopping center. They fold and roll up real small, they aren’t big to begin with, they soak up water and wring it back out like a super sponge, and they’re excellent for drying anything and everything, including yourself after a shower. (Or more likely an “airplane” shower as my dad called it when we’d go camping; just wash under the wings and the cockpit 😉)
    That said, they really are great for that and I recommend going with 2 shammy’s in different colors and using one for drying yourself after a wash, and one for everything else. There may be better options out there now that I’m not aware of though since I’ve been out of the camping scene for a fair few years now unfortunately, but I still keep one in my SUV and one in my go-bag. If there are better options that are just as cheap and portable, even to stuff in a backpack, I’d appreciate anyone letting me know!

    It sounds like Shaun has something loose like a wheel bearing or a bad shock. I also agree if the DMAX had a lift kit and bigger tires that thing would be a beast. It's no slouch the way it is. I live in the States in Blacksburg VA and I would love to come to Australia and go 4 wheeling with you guys. We have a couple trails like Bailey's Gap that is very hard to go through. Deep mudholes that will swallow your vehicle.

    Stu’s recovery at 30mins in, I’m surprised you guys didn’t do a snatch block recovery. It was alooot of Tension on that winch line :) good to see second try was successful though.
