5 4WDs FLOODED IN CAPE YORK - 1 gets towed home! Frenchmans - the WETTEST we've ever seen it!

The most INSANE episode we've filmed yet... South of the Tele Track in far North Queensland lies a 4x4 track like no other, the notorious Frenchman’s Track! We tackle some of the wildest conditions we've ever seen & one vehicle doesn’t survive the trip!
NEW Spring range from Snatch Clothing available at www.4wd247.com
We flood nearly EVERY 4WD crossing the Wenlock and Pascoe river, and give these old trucks a run for their money! It's pure bush survival, black soil country, crazy bush mechanics and beautiful campsites but Cape York is angrier than a cut snake!

Surstömming is herring that is preserved through fermentation. Thats is why the can looks like it going to explode. But you shude open it in a bucket with water. And you need to eat it with potato, redonions, chive and sour cream on a hard thin bread with fine chop surstömming.

[@4WD247]

[@jimmynilsson2988]

Yes and it’s delicious 🤤 here in the northern part of Sweden we are fighting for it at the stores right now. It has been a rough year for the fishermen 😕

[@MetalDevil1912]

@@jimmynilsson2988 it's a real battle my dude. Here in DK, the amount of fish allowed to take home, has been regulated drastically. Even angling is heavily regulated now. And not to mention the pfas in the shores and coast. It sucks.. 😑

[@MetalDevil1912]

Surströmming is a specialty from Norrland, which arose when the Hanseatic League stopped its sale of salt to Sweden in the Middle Ages due to the unresolved conflicts with Gustav Vasa. The subsequent salt shortage led people to preserve the strömming "or Baltic herring" by fermenting it instead of putting it in salt. During the fermentation, acetic acid, lactic acid and butyric acid are formed, which lower the pH value and thus extend the shelf life of the fish. On the other hand, it is considered among the world's smelliest dishes.

After watching the two old rigs having water issues with that big crossing (~36 min) it was astonishing seeing Ruben getting through. Massive respect and quality driving, especially from him, especially with only three tyres. Kinda shows some of the limitations of a very long serpentine belt. Toyota has done ‘belts’ in lots of different ways but earlier generations (like mine) had the crank driving WP and AL only using twin belts. The PS was on a separate belt and the AC was the only one with IP (2 in my case). I think this was better. Thoughts? Gorgeous scenery ~50 min. T v N, it really doesn’t matter. So childish!
