BOGGED AND BROKEN IN CAPE YORK!!! - Starcke River track to Cape Melville towing a 5m boat

  • The guys leave cairns bright and early headed on a Cape York adventure along the Starkey River Track. This tough 4wd track is right up there with Cape Yorks hardest tracks like the Old Telegraph Track, Frenchmans Track and the Old Coach Road. It will be made only harder with the Landcruiser 79 series towing a 5m boat.
    When they reach the first major creek crossing they quickly realise that there is something seriously wrong with the Landcruiser.
    Will they make it to Cape Melville to go fishing today or will it take longer than expected?

      Wow sounds like a mission!! You probably helped us along a bit by removing a few trees 😂 We had done it before without trailers so had a bit of an idea what we were in for but was still a lot slower than we thought.

    Hey man, enjoyed the vid. what power have you got running to be able to run an induction cooker? and what is the discharge rate on the batteries? thanks

    • @TrueNorthAdventures
      @TrueNorthAdventures  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks mate!!
      Its a 100ah DCS battery with a 2000w inverter. It draws about 80amps when cooking on med-high heat (about 100amps flat out). You can cook most meals in about 10 minutes so it will use approx 14ams to cook a meal. Obviously its not great for stews etc that take a long time to cook but for quick meals or boiling the billy its excellent. You will see us using it in pretty much every episode of the series 👍

      Yeh its definitely a nice luxury although do we still carry a small butane burner for cooking on the boat and for backup.

    Like, pull the cruiser up the hills mate and stop chopping the tracks up to the shithouse. Pull it if your towing before it chops up.

    • @TrueNorthAdventures
      @TrueNorthAdventures  3 роки тому

      We did try pulling it up with a tow rope but due to the angles at play it didn't work. It just pulled the front of there car harder into the hill. We didn't try a snatch because again with the different angles of the cars it most likely would have just done damage to vehicle.

      @@TrueNorthAdventures Might see you there, look out for an old school white toyota towing a beaten up flared bow. Yes, tyre pressure is everything. We will be taking the custom jockey wheel for the trailer so you can crawl up the snot and then winch up the boat. Good work lads, I know I was a bit hot lipped on the criticism but I really am sick of wankers tearing up tracks with 300 hp and 42 psi in the tyres. Be good if we run into ya's.
