[@StefanSchluppeck]

Seeing the Unimog in its natural environment is fantastic. What a machine. By far the best Unimog content on KZbin, there is nothing better. Thanks for the footage.

[@carlosibanezf]

awesome lines guys!! ...you definitely should progress into spotting those very difficult lines though (to keep your hearts in your chests) and put the camera on a tripod. As in all things practice practice practice will make you unstoppable. Congratulations to you both!

[@petrosyemane2958]

That is really intense driving skill. The truck is designed for a military purpose and kudos to the driver again.

[@davidthornborough3395]

Thanks

[@CME_Tube21]

The rivercrossing was awesome - Mog's land ! As Ange's face was when the Mog lifted the wheels. 🙃

[@greggenge481]

Heart in mouth viewing. Well done Bowser, Chris & spotter Ange. Take care.

[@davidvanbreda9056]

Best footage of a Mog in its natural environment on the WWW at the moment! Excellent stuff and nice driving there Chris! Thanks for sharing.

[@andreandrews571]

We’ll done Chris its cool to see the capabilities of the mighty mog and your willing to challenge it

[@leroyeadon378]

What a drive. Great Mog and not a bad driver either. Be safe.

[@josephstevens3357]

WOW! My heart was sitting in my mouth!! Scary stuff! Well done to all three (😂) of you!

[@Emyr-vz4oz]

I am glad that you covered the interior --> loses in the video

[@stuartlock2255]

Wow that was some good 4wding

[@pilchard2000]

No stopping the mighty mog , unreal driving , great team.👍

[@davidlee4966]

Very skilful driving

[@blonkanator]

wow the mog is impressive! great driving so cool to see it on some hard tracks

[@mikew1854]

That's awesome guys! No point having a beast of a MOG if you aren't going to have a crack at these tracks !! Loved the look on Ange's face as you started to tip 🙂

[@damobushy]

That looked epic, scary. Well done, you made it 😀

[@deanbilton]

So many boring 4wd vids out there but this was really interesting. That trucks a beast!

[@NoFixedDestinationAu]

I had a little panic attack and changed my undies just watching that. Great driving and vid!

[@waynelemmon3007]

Awesome vlog. Has to be the best that you have ever put out. Well done for tackling the Frenchman's.

[@EnricoMarangonJunior]

UNIMOGS are mighty ! thanks for sharing.

[@gerwigpoeschl3492]

Thanks, your footage, gives me a more confidence with my Mom!!

[@pinny6x6]

Awesome drive guys. Good to see the mog is looking after you. Well done Chris on steering it through safely and Ange your a champion running up and down those hills getting all this great footage.😃

[@steve2meter]

Wow, what a mission. Driving skills and confidence in going for it have tripled. Well done guys.

[@jorrumtucker7876]

wow can't believe how far you have came with your 4x4 capabilities, heart in mouth with angles and near roll, so impressive!

[@marcusrwalker]

That is some seriously impressive 4x4ing, well done.

[@warrenkay1155]

Best episode ever. You guys are really starting to push the limits on the mog, that was quite a technical track - well driven Chris!

[@fritzintroopy]

Epic driving and filming guys. Phew..tense times!!!

[@abrgrg]

Hey Chris and Ange! That Mog seemed to make it look too easy!! Bet you guys having tons of fun! Keep up the great productions - love seeing what you guys get up to!!

[@luigiwoschion]

Nice trip and good offroad job. Very clever with the messure tape.

[@andyhardwick5335]

Well done guys. Cudos on having the stones to take on the Frenchmans in a rig that size. Fantastic content 👌

[@fenderthevan5346]

No words guys…. Absolutely sick!!

[@willykimani6235]

I have been driving Unimog for a cp of years but its a wonderful truck. So guys. Congrat

[@vudu5vudu]

That Frenchman must have been drunk laying this out! Epic footage.

[@jameswheeler2759]

Wooooo dude. When I saw your two wheels come off the ground and she stopped filming that was it. Oh man. My heart stopped. Wow , so glad you guys are ok. But that was the coolest 👍🏻

[@anthonywhitney634]

Great episode, this is the type of content I've been hanging out for from you guys - the Mog dominating tough tracks! Putting the 4wd 24/7 boys to shame! Keep it up. 👍👍

[@fabiofigus9761]

Awesome track and very brave enough to tackle this challenge where no one else did it with such large vehicle. You guys both are living the dream and you're content is extremely wellade,be proud of yourselves

[@henrygreen19]

Wow !! That was definitely one for the books.

[@simonpainter3486]

That was certainly a pucker up moment. The mog ate it up and handled it awesome. Awesome bit of driving too mate

[@Werkar27]

That was some nice driving mate, especially when you did recover the mog. I'd suggest a cam on the front bumper that allows you to see underneath as the mog is notoriously difficult to drive.

[@camjol3219]

Best episode to date. Nice work guys.

[@jeanettewatts1121]

Huge respect 😮

[@andrefischer5025]

Hey Chris great effort driving the Mog through that! Add a working group gear set to your growing shopping list - will make this kind of tracks so much easier.

[@lebutch078]

Frenchman,,, Done. well done, team, great footage! Thanks

[@davidthornborough3395]

A fantastic effort getting the mog through frenchmans.Will lift your confidence no end .Ange you spotted well only minor damage ,would have been none except for the tree root .Stay on top of the weather forecasts now as you head further south Some intense rain events coming in. Stay safe and enjoy

[@shawnbroby5200]

Wow! Bowser! What a great rig! That was some great 4 wheeling. Bowser made it look easy! You guys ROCK! Fantastic episode!👍🏼

[@davidcooper3957]

You two have really been learning and pushing your limits the mog is awesome

[@darioai]

3:10 crazy, that was some serious offroading!

[@jamieemery9261]

Good effort

[@westaussie9497]

Enjoyed the video. Great to see the Mog enjoying the track.

[@themoonraker]

That really was something else, really impressive.😲

[@johncarter9054]

The lean factor and articulation is quite actually amazing. Good driving skills. Respect ...

[@sultanamajam9725]

I Think You Did a AWESOME JOB....Driving and Handling the Rig ....!!! Just professionally smooth. Great video footage Thanks guys

[@grantlouw3182]

Awesome work filming and driving the Mog through some really tough looking areas there, well done, you guys rock. Great that with all the footage Ange gets, Chris can review his driving and tweak his technique for best possible way to drive that huge Mog in the more tricky tracks.

[@flipwarrior]

Great driving, Chris! That was a really difficult track, but you made it like a pro!

[@Dan-yc6vi]

Its cool coming back and watching your videos the mog is such a weapon definatly would love to build one for my second trip around aus!!!

[@cpwatching5647]

Well done!!! Way to dig in!

[@antoinecomte]

Congrats guys! Your content is getting better and better. This was quite an impressive drive. Well done!

[@lololala4164]

Définitivement une de vos meilleures vidéos, du moins la plus impressionnante. Après ça, plus rien de pourra arrêter Chris au volant de l'Unimog ! Et Ange toujours aussi class 🥰 This track was not a joke, very well done to both of you

[@blake9575]

Good work guys your following has doubled since the last video I watched 🎉❤

[@guyfawkes7041]

G Awesome episode guys... Must say Chris, expert 4WD driving through all that uneven-terrain... Legend! And Ange, fantastic camera work - documenting the fabulous Mog Action - "Go Bowzer! You good thing!" Well done T.E.A.M!

[@JNDCreations]

So good, felt like a series track this episode! So happy it was in 2160p as well! Does your efforts much more justice that way!

[@TheOutFit]

Glad you noticed the difference!

[@gofaroverland7854]

Very enjoyable to watch and great driving there Chris!

[@ericgoings506]

Love the story format and wild animals cool on my sound system

[@hellohello8556]

Hectic! Nice work.👍

[@jean-marcla-roque2344]

Chapeau👍

[@dirkj.dreier6541]

Unbelievable! Must be a great feeling to manage it! Congrats!

[@Franksssss]

I'm watching you come outa the pascoe and I'm saying stay left stay left lol. I seen so many people try and get up on that flat to the right and nearly roll, when the line straight ahead is basically a flat run thru down and up.

[@barrymurphy3554]

Thanks Guys Looks easy & the camera or video never shows how step it really is. Plus all the time setting up the shots & making it into one movie. Great work the Mog went great I had a moment like everyone else did slow & steady is the way. Great set up same as any American trucks trying to do this there going to do a bit of damage. All in all it was fantastic to watch nice to sit back & enjoy you adventures safe travels Cheers

[@Naessey]

Couple of close calls there with the angles, but still, video demonstrates what Mog’s can do. Imagine when the army crews drive them. Enjoyed the video. Really good to see you pushing it. Even scrambled some eggs on the way.

[@erikalfan1027]

a very challenging nature cruising adventure with interesting extreme terrain for us to visit, thank you for sharing the video

[@shaneharmer2555]

Nice work, Mog was flexing more than Chrissy Boy💪😅 Great commitment mate you have bigger balls than me

[@garethraven3933]

Awesome work Bowser you made it. Great post on a great track and driven so well 👍. NZ

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Good see you putting good videos out nice place your at thanks lee

[@nudaveritas8195]

That was a close call...😮

[@outbacknomad9939]

brilliant content your abilities in the Mog are right up there really good stuff

[@seanchristie7150]

Awesome video as usual, a bit of a bugger about the lost audio, at least you didn't lose the footage totally. Having the right line is key, also having both the confidence in your vehicle and your own ability helps massively, both of which will come with more technical driving

[@reddyman6915]

Excellent filming and some great driving

[@05wheels]

Impressive, some nice, scary lean angles there. I am with you Chris, change of clothes required after that.

[@flybyairplane3528]

CHRIS &ANGE, GUYS you have come to some really tough. & tumble roads, But the MOG gets through,stay well, God Bless you, on your journey !,,,,,,,,🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@alexandrostheocharis8439]

what a footage ! Bravo

[@rudeboy8628]

So that steep exit will now be called Pucker Patch...... had me a few times there

[@xahverl8189]

You are a great driver!

[@ka4172]

A dream can doing tripps like this on the thoughest trails Australias ! Nice too watch your 4x4 tripps on you tube ! I can doo only my 1:10 RC Mog tiny week end Adventures ha ha..

[@Gladius7]

I had to watch this in two parts ,so much anxiety . You guys did a amazing job.

[@guidoscholz7111]

Wow, this was impressive. My adrenalin level went up quite a bit. We had a drivers training with our Steyr two weeks ago in a volcano sand/stone quarry with similar steep sections but we had much more space sideways.

[@asavvyman]

I've driven Unimogs and MBTrac for the best part of 20 years. One question I have about your specific Mog: do you not have an even lower gear set? All the Mogs I've driven had a high, low and creeper range. I'm certain if you had lower gears available some of your drama would have been avoided. AND the comment you make about need your diff locks on, I would suggest would have made your navigation more difficult. Great episode for all that and awesome to see you expand your driving to some technical challenges.

[@TheOutFit]

Hi Marty, the Australian ex-army U1700L Unimogs aren't fitted with the Working Group gearbox. It can be sourced but for a very large fee I would imagine

[@andrefischer5025]

@@TheOutFit can’t remember the exact cost but I think my working group gear set was about 5k plus it needs a few things changed to fit. All up I’d budget 7k. Don’t waste your money on crawler gear group - it’s designed for implement carrier use, extremely slow and not suitable for high torque applications.

[@stuarthayward1259]

Fantastic effort. A beautiful pet of the country. In the last few shoots I spotted your chairs. What brand are they. 😊

[@TheOutFit]

Thank you Stuart for watching! The chairs are Zempire Roco Lounger, we recommend them 👍

[@rjl110919581]

thank you for the video

[@cootha8631]

Yep, nothing better than coming into a tough spot with a big crowd of onlookers all gathered round filming away on their phones, no pressure! Always gotta remember they're all tourists too probably there for the fist time as well.

[@grahames9228]

Wow, the climb up from the Pascoe River crossing is certainly rugged.

[@michaelnugara1]

Pretty ordinary with all those people watching but no one actively looking to spot you. Glad nothing happened as a recovery would've been pretty bloody hard. Thanks for sharing

[@Hipporider]

I wonder if you could fit protective bar work or light steel plate over certain areas like your diesel heater? I guess it's a balancing act, weight vs protection. 🤔. You've got some guts taking that on your own through those places, I have to say! 👍🇦🇺

[@bernardroy3759]

Encore une magnifique video , merci . Que d'émotions ! L'Unimog est vraiment impressionnant . Peut être que la goulotte du réservoir a été tordue par les balancements de la cellule lors des énormes croisements de ponts ? Si Chris n'arborait pas cette ridicule moustache , son sang froid au volant mériterait une bise . Du coup , c'est à toi , Ange , que j'en fais une !!

[@mikezog1030]

What's really apparent is that Chris needs to be spotted and Ange is going to have to step up. I was sitting here going "go right!! go right!!" There were a few times where Chris was on a bad line. he must choose the line that keeps both front wheels at the same height. It s the front with the engine that has priority.

[@kusanagi72]

Yep, lesson 1: Look at the bonnet and try to keep it level to the horizon. Easy trick that will 99% of the time put you on the right line.

[@digitalduch1111]

Unimog - A german engineering masterpiece, from a time when "Made in Germany" really meant "Best quality you can get!" - Totally different to today... btw. very nice video!

[@Saarz23]

Also interesting fact. The Irwin’s go to the Steve Irwin wildlife reserve each spring to do their annual croc catching and tracking research to continue Steve’s work. The Wenlock River is one of the main river catchments they catch crocs! Amazing.

[@Saarz23]

Holy guacamole Chris and Ange! Amazing footage and 4wding. I had never seen a Mog before. One drove past me in my Jeep last week. Holy hell they are huge!!! On tv you don’t get the scale of them. But wow. I have a new appreciation for Bowser now! Haha take care

[@engc932]

Excelente travesía y demostracion de manejo!! Felicitaciones.
