one thing I noticed. people need to do a bit of prior planning before attempting something like this obstacle for when things don't work out. and when things do go bad people just need to chill the heck out.
Similar issue to what we had at nolands each time a car went though the riverbed changed. Every car that went though got recovered by the car that went before.
Someone has to say it - Nissans go where others fear to tread :) Reality is, each car churns the sand at the bottom - after maybe 2 it needs 30 mins to settle down. The right approach is to hook up every vehicle and tow them through, they don't need their own power which only digs the wheels deeper.
They don't even need that much pulling power either. They're in trouble when they start floating. At that point they're effectively a boat. The trick is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I learnt the hard way. Thankfully it only a clean and dry out the interior job. No damage. Hopefully I'll get to Nolans one day. I'll have the strap ready to go and some one ready to pull from the other side.
Hey guys it was so beautiful to watch another great vlog with Luke Fink and co and trip to Cape York enjoying the views around its to see them all having a great time away camping trip with family and friends stay positive and shine like a diamond guys ⛺🌹👍❤️🇦🇺
Glad to see that everyone was helping out when a vehicle got bogged and was making sure that the vehicles were not written off. I would not prefer to be up there at this time with every man and their dog. Great video anyhow, keep up the good work.
farkkkk so dangerous so many people so close to the recovery straps , can get seriously injured if they snap. thats a sick crossing tho, but shittttt stay safe
NOW I know why my 94 Hilux's floor was wet when I bought it and the rear doors rusted out around the bottom seams. I would NEVER own a 4wd with carpet again!
Why some of these negative comments? Get a life! Thanks for a very enjoyable video😁👍. Good heavens guys, how many cars in your group😳? Beautiful spot, and I'm looking foreward to your next video😎. From a burning South Africa.... Cheers
Even i saw everyone before me going across no worries, I dont get how you wouldn't want the safety of being connected to someone on the other side before entering the water on the small chance you get stuck.
I’m so glad that people who have no idea how to 4wd are getting in and having a go. But safety should be taught for 4wd recoveries in some way before doing this stuff.
@@christhomas4260 no tracks are getting wrecked by us or our crew! Driving through the river thats on the track is part of doing that track so its hardly like anyone is going there intending to flood there 100k cars! Your ignorance towards what we where doing there is astounding!
@@DarrenBoxhall 33s are whats legal on a gu. Its his wifes daily driver. The ranger with less left and 33s got through 2 cars before him without a drama
@@Lukefink yes, because is doesn't have a solid axle front to push through mud, and the rear diffs aren't as big. Being legal doesn't change anything mate, I'm just saying, 33's on a GU are tiny. He got stuck on nothing but his diffs, nothing else
I cant believe the amount of ppl not prepared with the snatch strap setup already or the tyres let right down so they dont float like a barge........If I came apon this mess I think I would give it a miss till it calms down. Drinking, small kids, ppl trying to send it cars everywhere no one giving the one order what a recipe for a shit storm
Obviously recovery safety wasn't anyone's strong suite there... There was at least a half a dozen times people could have been killed, with children running around the recovery strap FM
This is a good example of why I won't be bothering with the Telegraph Track ... too many unprepared people doing stupid things. The Bypass track may be more corrugated, but the general intelligence level seems appreciably higher. I much preferred 'adventure' before the social media age devalued the word - it was real, and there was more respect for wild places. These are just yahoos playing in the mud....
@@jay75rv cause i made it public? Did you click cause its nolans? Did you click because its 4x4ing did you click because it has a girl in the thumbnail.
GOOD VID, BUT. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUME? WHY IS IT THAT THE MUSIC IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOUD BUT YOU CAN'T HERE THE PEOPLE TALKING?
This is like when muppets do the cape
you where there?
Yup.....freakin circus....cape york locals get plenty of smoko stories from the annual parade
😂😂😂💯
All the gear and no idea
Was like watching Baywatch
This is like one of those videos that they used to show folks in the 1980's about how "not" to do things for safety's sake!
shaking hands with danger 💪
I also cringed. Bunch of muppets!
Wow one snapped snap strap away from facial reconstruction!
i came for the thumbnail, was not disappointed.
you and 65 k others
Did a great job of making every recovery look like a hectic mess
one thing I noticed. people need to do a bit of prior planning before attempting something like this obstacle for when things don't work out. and when things do go bad people just need to chill the heck out.
OMG, screaming and running amuck. If those snatch straps let go there would be decapitation, but don’t let that get in the way of your chaos!
“Do you wanna hook it to the bull bar” lmao
I now understand why 4WD Action go up early in the season.....
1. Avoid the Crowds
2. Get it before it's really chopped out.

Wise words...rarely heeded unfortunately.

Hey there everybody ready for another banger vlog with Luke Fink and co and the trip to Cape York stay positive and shibby guys 🇦🇺❤️👍🌹⛺
Good to see some smart heads used on that river crossing 👍
farout, what a gnarly little crossing
Was like an action movie when those blokes dove out of the way of the first recovery, maybe should of waited 5 seconds for them to get out the way LOL
Great video Luke looks like a blast. I love the patrol with Cummins, truck is sick looks like it could go anywhere
Wow, some pretty competent vehicles got stuck.... goes to show.
Thanks for the footage
That first snach was amazing. How have these bros survived till adulthood?
City folk with all the gear and no f&#*ing idea
NOW I know why my 94 Hilux's floor was wet when I bought it and the rear doors rusted out around the bottom seams. I would NEVER own a 4wd with carpet again!
The journey of a lifetime 🔥🌶🌶
I love how calm and organised everyone is
best I've seen this year .. very entertaining.. can't wait to see your future episodes
This channel deserves more subs! keep it up Luke love the family adventures
I had no idea Nolans Brook was so beautiful. What a great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What’s the point of hooking up the tow line and then not driving forward to take up the slack while the car is floating 🤪
Because people wanted to try drive it! Tow strap is if they dont so recovery is quick as possible
@@Lukefink most were literally sitting there drowning with guys pulling on the line while recovery car just sits there 😂
@@Corey-pd3mi for a second or so max man! People really wanna drive it without help if they can!
@@Corey-pd3mi no shame being towed across, especially when you see other vehicles start to float, before ya cross.
This is where I've never understood why they have the snorkel intake facing forwards.
Glad you put in those drone shots of the waterfalls.. got my heart rate down after watching all those cars get towed out of the water!!! Epic video!
Is good to see people helping each other out.
I fitted bilge pumps in my patrol never have to hurry to stop my seat getting wet 😉
Great camera work, managed to get some great shots of the extras😉😉
Great video Luke and family! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace
Awesome vid, really showing all the gear and no idea
Glad you enjoyed!
too many cheifs for a lot of them crosses
Hit the nail on the head there, also too many with all the gear and not a bit of an idea.
Why some of these negative comments? Get a life! Thanks for a very enjoyable video😁👍. Good heavens guys, how many cars in your group😳? Beautiful spot, and I'm looking foreward to your next video😎. From a burning South Africa.... Cheers
Stay safe mate! Looks terrifying over there at the moment and it doesnt seem like main stream media are showing any of it
Jesus christ that was a great snatch at 4:19
All hell'd brake loose if they saw the croc that turned up the year we went through.
Looks like one hell of an adventure dude, has to be good to rejuvenate the soul
Absolutely amazing mate!
Note to self, take a Sherp, or a Kamov.
I’m his is what happends when you don’t shovel back what get kicked out buy the Tyers
lol ok
Yea shit, that was pretty impressive. Well done to everyone involved, awesome team work.
Even i saw everyone before me going across no worries, I dont get how you wouldn't want the safety of being connected to someone on the other side before entering the water on the small chance you get stuck.
Entertaining video - Thanks.... (there must be a better way around for those of us that do not want to get our carpets wet? :-)
There is a bypass road out to the pdr before the last two creeks however if you get to this point you have to go through it
We were up here at the same time seen all the rigs and the patrol broken down in camp
And was all repaired in camp too, drove her 2500k back home without any dramas
That was hectic 😮 but bloody sick 🤙🏻🤙🏻
sitting right there luke wow lucky lucky
its a wonder no one was injured during the filming of this comedy
I stubbed my toe
@@Lukefink I hope you are comfortable and recovering.
That water so clean
How many is too many for a trip accident looking for somewhere to happen
It used to be called Nolan's
Safety was paramount in this video ahah bloody bogans! But i loved it ahhahaha 👍👍
A great way to get a cup full of water in the intake a bang! An expensive tow to follow. Please next time have one person calling the safety shots.
Damn it really is beautiful out there, such an amazing journey to watch.
I’m so glad that people who have no idea how to 4wd are getting in and having a go. But safety should be taught for 4wd recoveries in some way before doing this stuff.
What are those star rims called on the patrol they look sick
im not sure tbh
Allied Savannah's
@@bennydoesthings legend
Some excessive risk but I love the pitch in community feel
Nice. I was there recently. What date was this video taken?
Looks like a top place to own a bottl'o
Anybody know if you can takes dogs on the tele track or is it all national parks?
Mint 4wd for sale.. only driven to church on sundays hahahaha
What a beautiful place.
I’ve never done the cape but I do know tow etiquette and you guys don’t have it. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hit with a snatch strap
be funny to watch your car fill with water while we slowly and safely pull your car out of the water
@@Lukefink already had that happen and it was a lot safer than how you guys did it.
yet my interior stayed dry!
@@Lukefink lol he said he did it safer - no mention of you getting the interior wet or not. Nice deflection
@@pauljay9912 he said he already had it happen.
Don't get how driving a 4 ton monster and wrecking the tracks for everyone is fun
you sound like you would be really fun at partys
@@Lukefink strange come back. Wrecking tracks and drowning cars sounds like so much fun.
@@christhomas4260 no tracks are getting wrecked by us or our crew! Driving through the river thats on the track is part of doing that track so its hardly like anyone is going there intending to flood there 100k cars!
Your ignorance towards what we where doing there is astounding!
@@Lukefink 🙄 over and out
Go the mighty PATROLS 💪💪
holly crap , ive avoided watching any FNQ vids this year for as long as i could. .. . .. . dam i miss it up there
Never been up there….is that the only way across or is there a bypass?
by pass is about 28kms around!
@@Lukefink …but not as much fun !
Thx for reply
Awesome stuff Luke!
The chick with the blue hair at the end is a sort 🔥👌🏻
my wife :)
@@Lukefink well done you bloody legend 👏🏻
"Don't know what I was stuck on"
Fuck all lift and tiny wheels might be one of the things that got him stuck
4 inch lift on 33s not exactly tiny lift or tiny wheels!
@@Lukefink 33's are small mate
@@Lukefink hence my comment and why it got stuck
@@DarrenBoxhall 33s are whats legal on a gu. Its his wifes daily driver.
The ranger with less left and 33s got through 2 cars before him without a drama
@@Lukefink yes, because is doesn't have a solid axle front to push through mud, and the rear diffs aren't as big.
Being legal doesn't change anything mate, I'm just saying, 33's on a GU are tiny. He got stuck on nothing but his diffs, nothing else
How many people wanna be in control lol
I hope you didn't' have to go back that way.
I bet you guys had a ton of fun

No idea…..
We swam that section near Twin Falls in 2001 on a 2 month trip in #Smoky60Series towing the #VelcroPalace at video 16min...
Obviously recovery safety wasn't anyone's strong suite there... There was at least a half a dozen times people could have been killed, with children running around the recovery strap FM
Is that the shallowest spot to cross
correct
@@Lukefink crikey. Ide hate to see the deep side.
Just reminded me why you never buy a used 4by from Queensland.
Fresh water
What time of year was this thx?
Was in may!
I love how everyone panics hahah
This is why I won’t buy a used 4wd with any mods done to it. It has to be stock, I don’t want a car that’s been flogged by someone. That’s my job 😂
looks like yas had a ball
looks awesome
lost all interest in the recovery's once the blonde got in the water !!
The only reason the bottom gets soft is because of all the bone heads spinning there wheels, JUST CHILL OUT, don’t Panic or bury the foot
sick big groups
Stay away from the snatch straps!! (Face palm)
is your palm ok?
Did I hear someone say “remove the snorkel cover, more torque”??
Sadly, they walk amongst us

You must be a blast at parties
Less traffic on Pitt Street
Urgghhh...Bodgey Bogans Bush Bash...
why did you click on the video?
@@Lukefink Coz you made it public...
@@jay75rv no my question is what made you click on the video.
@@Lukefink No,that's my answer.
@@jay75rv cause i made it public? Did you click cause its nolans? Did you click because its 4x4ing did you click because it has a girl in the thumbnail.
Where is this place
Great vid
GOOD VID, BUT. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUME? WHY IS IT THAT THE MUSIC IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOUD BUT YOU CAN'T HERE THE PEOPLE
TALKING?
my bad!
