4 Wheeling & Boating Shark Bay, part 5/8 403 years ago

[@pearcem66]

I'm not here to be a critic. I'm just here to watch an entertaining video about a group of mates travelling around this great country having a great time. Thanks Ronny. Always enjoy 👍🏼

[@johnyhawgleg]

Love the videos. Keep doing what you all do.

[@southerncrossoverland6118]

Brilliant video Ronny that coast is a splitting image of our east cost shoutout from across the ditch🇳🇿

[@MrLangDog]

Well done in the teasers! I know I wasn't the only one to think that was coral in the tire!! Awesome video.

[@swidahooverlanding2867]

Yup! Going to have to get a better axle/wheel/tire combo if you are going to take that boat with you to more places. Great trip so far, George.

[@AstroHoff]

Am I the only one that misses the old 4wd'ing stuff? Great video production and all, but more and more like a travel show.

[@Oregun]

Magnum Force I’m with you.. too much production, not enough excitement and enjoyment of the trip. Wish the boys would go back to the style of video that made them so awesome.

[@streetleswa4282]

yeah......not much 4 wheeling or boating in that one ...!!!!

[@Ronny_Dahl]

not every series will be the same, struggle to understand your comment given part 2 & 3 were all about 4wding? We record/document how it happens sometime plenty of driving others not and yes we travel so I guess it is a travel show in some shape of form. We don't make things up like flipping cars and getting bogged on purpose. Perhaps give me your feedback at the end of this series as a whole. Cheers Ronny

Lovin the new series. Tbh don’t mind the boat stuff. Production is awesome. Keep it up.

[@PortugalCarp]

Ronny, your eight-legged horse is looking mean now! Nice one. Thanks for this batch of vids!

[@splashmaster2000]

Another great one Ronny! Just one thing about the turtles: It's best not to use any light around them because they get disoriented from light sources other than the natural moon light. They might end up going the wrong way and not finding the water.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

something we only just learnt while we were there as they were following the light. At which point we walked to the water before turning the lights off. We also didnt want to step on them which is a bit difficult without light.

[@simoncbroadley9577]

Another great video from Ronny THANKS

[@timetogodoug]

Thanks Ronny, have a great week!

[@slateslavens]

A radial tire patch kit would be handy for that trailer tire. The style that has the large patches that you apply to the inside of the tire. Yeah, you have to take the outside of the tire off the bead to the outside of the rim/wheel, but it can save the day when the cord-style patches can't fix the leak. I keep both styles of patches in my jeep, just in case. That said, I love following the adventures of you and your merry crew! LOL! 23:05 the tire has built-in curb feelers! Hey Ronnie, I have a dumb question: Can you fit high-flotation tires to the trailer for off-pavement use? Like ATV tires or something? Or swap the hubs to fit A/T or M/T tires?

[@brandonspain3483]

Ive always enjoyed you Videos, its the journey thats inspiring, thank you again;

[@ajcamperspantry5069]

Awesomeness. Definitely head there for some turtle spotting 👍

[@toyotadirtdevil]

Have you ever considered building a boat trailer with air suspension, so that you could run bigger tires? For fenders, what we have done on old cars is attach them to the backing plate so they stay with the tire height and then the trailer level goes up and down with the air suspension. It would make it so you could take the boat more places and not worry about damage or having to drive as slow. Just a thought. Keep up with the great episodes.

[@glassguy283]

Thats awesome to see those baby turtles!!!!

[@November2Foxtrot]

Ronny, during the segment when you were repairing the trailer tire (20:00 min mark), you utilized the insulating screwdriver to help open the bead of the tire against the rim. I just want to advise and for you to keep in mind that any compromise on the insulation of those types of screwdrivers will truly inhibit their ability to protect the user if used on any electrically live hardware. It would be best to separate the electrically insulated tools from the kit and place general use screwdrivers in their place. It seems though in your common use (offroading/overlanding/exploration), that electrically insulated tools are not applicable, just their function as a tool is what's necessary so my comment may not be relevant. Great videos! Please keep them coming!

[@RainBoxRed]

A lot of "she'll be right" kind of people would be frustrated by your approach, but I support you. I mean, really you shouldn't use any screwdriver for a lever application. Use a pry bar.

[@joeking22]

DHI is definitely a bucket list for me. I know the eastern side is peaceful and relatively calm but the cliffs on the other side are wild.

[@jjsadv]

Can’t wait for the turtle episode. Very good timing. You could have a whole episode dedicated to this.

[@stevecrop6264]

Turtle conservationists would be having kittens seeing hatchlings blinded by high power lights.

[@kelvinthomas374]

Independent suspension and a decent set of tyres on that boat trailer is the go.

[@stevecrop6264]

A decent set of higher profile tyres is the only thing required. Hundreds of standard boat trailers been over to dirk hartog. Matching the trailer track to the vehicle also makes a big difference in sand.

[@insaynbcr]

I vote that they ditch the boat and go for a pack of PWCs on a custom offroad worthy trailer. They can run these in smaller waters, bigger waters, beach them, etc...

[@stuartarnold6308]

Hey everyone. Ronny, love the vids. If Ronny cant get back to me... Does anyone know the name of the product Ronny has under his right arm on the door trim to support his elbow? I've been looking for one. Thanks in advance.

[@Engineer9736]

That plaque at 28:30 is written in Dutch, i can just read it being Dutch myself 😂 Only the spelling is very old (obviously). The text in English is right here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Hartog

[@muddertruker]

Hay Ronny, I have watched your radio videos and find them a big help. But please would you do an introduction video for dummies? Something where every little feature is explained and what it does. Not so much how to use a 2-way, but more of what the features do ... thanks!

[@roughas100]

Yeah getting sprayed with salt water is pretty much a given in windy conditions, put on ya dive masks. Good decision fixing those tyre sidewall punctures, last time it happened to me it was the left side of the boat trailer , only had about 2km to camp so decided to run it flat , the tyre cut was too big to plug , the steel rim got badly bent but somehow got it round enough with the good old hammer when I later removed the tyre. Gave up using those galvanized danforth type sand anchors , too many times they drag in the sand , now use a Coopers black anchor , its plastic and light but I trust it .

[@sshoh9222]

Great footage...things to add to my bucket list. How much fuel and water are you guys carrying?

[@andrewevans7184]

I can't believe someone down under hasn't come up with an Off Road boat trailer. It's amazing you have got the thing this far.

[@henriducladier7800]

Andrew Evans we have them, he’s just not using one

[@normanmint]

He explained why he’s using this boat trailer in a previous video where he introduced the boat.

[@grantdoughty9657]

Hey Ronny, fairly new to the channel and love everything about it. Just wondering if you’ve done a long term review in your dobinsons suspension setup as I’m just in the process of renewing my and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers

[@jimsteel3228]

whats the make and model of the drone your using in the video

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Seems like you guys had almost as hard a time finding fish as we did in June. At least you got to see more marine life. The island looks like a top place to visit. Dirk Hartog or Dirck Hatichs, was the first European confirmed to set foot in W.A. but he was probably beaten to Australia (in general) by Portuguese sailors as two Portuguese canons were found on Cannonade Island and were dated no later than 1525. Williem Jansz (or Janszoon) is said to have come ashore near the mouth of the Pennyfather River in 1605-6. We have a page on the early explorers for anyone who is interested in finding out more at wanowandthen.com/explorers.html

[@fowletm1992]

It's no wonder they gave up on sheep She's pretty thin on the feed Any underground water?

[@Ronny_Dahl]

I think the sheep destroyed a lot of the vegetation after farming them for so many years

[@fowletm1992]

@@Ronny_Dahl If they restocked in 93 What your seeing now is as good as it will ever be 26yrs of rest The australian bush comes back pretty quick unless there's been a super hot fast fire

Boat trailer (at least!!!) needs a TPMS. Oh, and I'm glad I know how to use the fast forward button.......boating is not my thing......I watch this channel because it's called "4 Wheeling Australia" (ie: no reference to boating)....hahaha

[@davestone607]

Walked that turtle bay dune in March during the day and made the horrible mistake of not having shoes or thongs on. Have never felt sand that hot in all my life! Literally had to cut my shirt in half and make shoes just to get up that dune!

[@keithlea6804]

That boat trailer could use a bigger tires something with more flotation. I'm thinking a offroad build for your trailer. Lose the axle tube and cantilever it. A set of 31s or so.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

we are going to do a few things to it before a trip to the Kimberley.

[@stevecrop6264]

31’s make the trailer way to high for beach launching

Its not the size of the fish its the size of the story of the one that got away, Moby dick is a great story lol

Leave you boat at anchor and go trekking .... lets home the weather stays calm or by the time you return the boat will be on its side on the beach if you lucky

Bit of common sense wouldn't go astray with the interaction of the turtles...

[@Ronny_Dahl]

Mate all we knew about turtles at the time was not to touch them, didn’t know about lights etc but we worked that out while we were there. we just happened to be there right time right place

[@stevecrop6264]

That’s understandable if it’s just some mates on a trip. If your publishing for the public I think there’s a greater responsibility to be informed and present the right way to do things.

[@wikkidme755]

Don’t shine light on the turtles🤬🤬

[@MrLangDog]

Steady lights from hotels, street lamps, etc. confuse the turtles...watching them for a short time doesn't hurt the turtles. The game people conduct tours here in Florida , at night, with lights, so people can appreciate them. Relax.

[@4WheelsOnTheRoad]

MrLangDog what colour lights do they use?

[@wikkidme755]

MrLangDog any light distracts them from doing there initial run down the beach where they will get there bearings on there location for the long swim to feeding grounds. Short of it is don’t use torches, stand in the dark for a few minutes and let your eyes adjust and you can see just fine on an open beach. When we are doing data collection we walk the beach all night with no light and get plenty of turtles.

[@4WheelsOnTheRoad]
