A bit of "gentle persuasion" with a decent lump hammer as well as a decent drift (bar), after deflating the tyre and then bent rim can become straight. You were lucky - no apparent damage to tyre. Good you could get those campers out of trouble. Lucky no structural damage. Bet they will be more aware of slippery side slopes in the future.

Gday Bob, Every time I have tried to straighten a rim, the hammer normally just bounces off, with no change to the rim 😀, but I probably should of used a bigger hammer. Cheers, karl
@@nowhereboundtouring Suggestion. Ask around in the area you are for a place that does welding. They will have oxy acetylene eqpt. Remove tyre, heat affected bent area and gently massage the rim back into shape - oxy heat will make it much easier. Put a weight behind the bent area to act as a dolly - as panel beaters do. Once cooled and back in shape, a flap disc on an angle grinder will smooth all edges. A bit of paint and Bob's your Uncle. Otherwise come to "Uncle Bob's place" in SW Sydney and we'll fix it.
I live on the farm here the carnage and idiots I've seen in the past 20 odd years would blow you away have draged so many out of bogs beach and tip overs with the tractor when will it end!!! Back Packers are the worst for getting boged. Anyway safe travels round our beautiful state thanks for helping that idiot saved me from it cheers
Hey Wayne, I am sure you have seen plenty. What a magnificent part of the world you live. I hope your son recovered fine from his surgery and helped prevent one more chore for you 😂😂 Stay safe and enjoy your piece of paradise. Cheers Katty
Hola hola mis australianos favoritos aquí estoy de nuevo. Lindo video como siempre Katy y Karl quiero felicitarlos por lo solidarios q fuero q la pareja de viajeros q tuvieron ese accidente y a Karl por ser un excelente y espirimentado viajero con todo su equipo de rescate en su camión y un pinchonazo le pasa a cualquiera.. Katy Karl un abrazo grande desde san José Costa Rica 😎😎💪🙏👍🏻
Hello Hello good to hear from you again, hope all is going well. The people who had the accident were on their honeymoon poor things. We hope that if we were in trouble people would help us. Keep on being the best positive Costa Rican we know!!! ⭐️⭐️🇦🇺🇦🇺
So great to see and hear you two again. We were in Balgal beach when the rains came and had to pack our FF wet. Thinking heading West to the Atherton tablelands would provide for a dryer climate (yes, we are very wet behind the ears) we ran into gushing flood ways and an impassable river crossing that was the road! Turned around in the dark on a narrow track at night and headed for Cairns and a motel room.
While the cruisemaster trailer hitch probably save the car from rolling as well, it may be worth looking at the Mc Hitch trailer hitch. In the case of solo travelling, where there is no one to help, the car can simply remove the hitch pin and drive away. Then ( if he has a winch) he could self recover , then simply reverse back onto the hitch and drive away again. Looked for a link, but it looks like they have closed shop..
I just had a look also, and no more Mc Hitch. We have a Hitch Easy coupling and find it great. We have now been using it daily for over 3 years, with no issues, and no fuss. Cheers, karl
Oh Alan, so sorry to hear that you are unwell. Hope that the chemo and surgery put you on the right track to recovery. We hope we can give you a little respite with our video's. Stay strong cheers Katty and Karl
Love the idea of a LT to pull vans, I would really like to go down that path, but wife thinks its too restrictive, and she cant drive it.. but with the weights and scalie's these days its a no brainer. Great video guys, - we are setting our van up to suit us as we speak, and going to do a few local trips around Townsville and when we pick up the new ranger in Sept, going to send it out west and start our big lap. Will defiantly keep an eye out for you 2, we hit that button too ;) - happy travels, Pete and Torell - Tindog Travels.
It is a Barmah, Canvas Drover. It is made in Indonesia, with Australian canvas. I normally find them in Aussie Disposals or True Blue Canvas in Mackay. Cheers, karl.

Thanks Bob, we have bought a new rim👍
We will look you up when down that way "uncle Bob". Cheers Katty
I've tried to bash steel rims with huge hammers and it doesn't work. I've never been able to bend a buckled rim back. Throw away and start again.
Ouch for the rim, I have never seen them do that without taking the tyres as well.
Lovely looking place
Yep, it was very strange / lucky. Not even a rub mark on the tyre.
I usually park the van on that concrete slab, nice and flat with a view
That is a nice spot & great views 👍

Well done. Love seeing your recoveries. You do a good job! Gives me lots of tips for my truck.
Thanks Craig.

Gday Ben,
Sounds like an adventure 😉
Great episode again. You could make a whole video on all the rescues you have done. Looks a nice spot Notch Point. Road in could do with a bit of TLC.
Hi Gailleon,

It was a nice spot to stop for a while. The cows are very friendly, and they come down each night.
Cheers

Gday P & T,
We will be at Townsville around the start of March. There for a few weeks, so shout out if you see us around 👍
Cheers, karl & katty
I love that vehicle.
What camera gear do you use and what editing programme do you use?
Hi,
We have a few GoPro’s ( that are not the greatest) and a Panasonic GH5. For editing we use Davinci Resolve.
Cheers, karl.
Did that goose have his rooftop tent and awning on with a ratchet strap
Gday Orto,
No, the back roof top tent bolts ripped out of the floor in the roll over, so he just used the strap temporarily.
Cheers, karl
Karl what make and model is your hat ?
It is a Barmah, Canvas Drover. It is made in Indonesia, with Australian canvas. I normally find them in Aussie Disposals or True Blue Canvas in Mackay.
Cheers, karl.
Karl. A question for you. Your spare tyres would be pretty heavy. How do you go at getting one down and getting the replacement back up ?
Gday Brian,
This video explains it all 👍

Old mate proved that going to the gym and having no shirt on is valuable lol
They were a nice couple, just having a bad day 👍
You can do anything in a pair of crocks 😀
Yep, but sometimes they get a wee bit slippppery .
Cheers
👍👍👍
Thanks
Hammer rim back down no need for new rim
Thanks Col, we have a new rim now.
Yeah, just hammer it. Ever tried ? It doesn't work. No hammer is big enough.
Fair chance a hammer will fix the rim
Gday Ian,
We have a new rim now 👍
Cheers, karl
Honestly,Why not just drive up and pull the trailer over with your big rig😂.Everyone wants fame.
Too slippery for that
