Canning Stock Route (CSR) EXTREME 4x4 & REMOTE. FLOODED. DANGER. 2000km with trailer!

[@BackFocus11]

This is what Adenture8 is all about!!... Never been to Australia, so this was a treat! Go Peter!

[@Adventure8]

Thanks for watching. More adventurers to come.

[@stevendhanjal3679]

Thank you Sir's for the awesome video. And glad you both got to bond, and have a great adventure ! And really appreciate your on the fly fixing skills.. Good thinking Cap indeed. Cheers " from Southern California.

[@Adventure8]

Steven, thanks. Glad you like it. Cheers Peter

[@mikerowley5677]

Hi Fellas, thanks for going to the trouble of producing & sharing. Did the CSR a few yeras back on the tail end of a big wet and got caught (two vehicles) crossing Lake Gregory. Only saw one other vehicle on the entire journey. It turned into one serious adventure. Anyways, enjoyed reliving one of the most epic tracks in the world. One Life - Live It ! Mike Rowley.

[@Adventure8]

Hi Mike, I agree, the CSR is one of the most unique and isolated treks in the world. Glad it brought back great memories. Maybe one day again..

[@mysocietyoffaeries]

What an extraordinary, courageous journey. Love the photography and unique drone dimensions. The spectacular night skies never cease to amaze me. A fantastic effort, Peter and Sven!

[@Adventure8]

Thanks, I expect to see you out there soon....

[@cybrdds]

Truly and Amazing trip; especially for two brothers. Thank you for sharing and be well!

[@Adventure8]

Thanks Carlos, bro love no doubt.

[@billcrowle]

@@Adventure8 Wouldn't do it with my brother now, maybe ten years ago before I found out what he was like to travel with!

[@hilltopacres5737]

Really enjoyed your vid Peter, great adventure to share with your bro and very well put together on film including Sven's drone work. Having done such adventures as Cape York, Simpson Desert, and the Vic High Country etc, to travel the west including the CSR is still on the bucket list. Thanks for sharing

[@Adventure8]

Rockin, thanks. It's worth heading to the Wild Wild West

[@stefanmokrzecki16]

Absolutely brilliant video, in fact it is the best production that I have seen! What a great trip for two brothers to share.

[@Adventure8]

[@mauriceupton1474]

Excellent; thanks from Auckland New Zealand, for sharing your holiday. It reminded me of our 6000 km trip with my Aussie cousins from Brisbane to Birdsville and back via Broken Hill, Innamincka, strzelecki track, Birdsville and back in August 2016, we had so much rain and lightning, I was totally amazed as to how much rain they can get in the outback, obviously it's not all the time but it still amazed me.

[@Adventure8]

Thanks, yes great memories

[@baroloz]

An amazing adventure brilliantly documented. Great work! Enjoyed it big time.

[@Adventure8]

Thanks Rob. Your turn next...

[@saltbushholden]

Nailed that one Pete. A great film for anyone contemplating that trip. Well done....

[@Adventure8]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the movie

[@Glasslugger]

I went on the CSR north to south with Spirit Safaris in July 2016 & this brought back many memories. We struck soggy ground below Well 14 & managed to get stuck for a short period. Great photography and drone work. Thanks

[@Adventure8]

Thanks, I also can't wait to get out again. Cheers

[@billcrowle]

I like the interspersed stills and bits of drone shots. Always name and film the map for locations now and then, or chat about it. Punctures and breakages are always worth documenting. :-)

[@billcrowle]

We did the first day's worth just so we could say we did a bit, and check it out, and see how the VW went in the rough! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIrOXoyqdpdgrbM

Good day mate! I traveled in Australia in 1997-1998 by Motorcycle. I went through gunbarrel Hwy and Simpson french line. However, I didn't go Canning stok route because the too long distance for bike..... This super nice video makes me want to go around Australia again !! Thank you for sharing nice video. form Japan

[@thebikemanable]

SUZUKI DR250R it was so old, but I was able to do with it.

[@Adventure8]

[@blazesport]

Hi Peter, Great Video, we had to abort at just below Well 22 at that big Salt Pan about 2 weeks I am guessing before you got there. We were out at Newman when we heard about the Koreans being bogged. Just for you information at Well 33 we met 3 Vehicles that had come up from Wiluna from the south but of course their tracks would have been gone after all the rain. We were 3 Vehicles all with Campers and no problems except the floods. Again Great Work

[@Adventure8]

Hi Glenn, great to hear your story. Part of the missing link to ours. Thanks

I could almost smell those sausages 6:04 17:48 Murray Rankin information (c/o wiki) 1972, New Zealander, Murray Rankin, and two English brothers, John and Peter Waterfall, fashioned homemade trolleys from bicycle wheels and metal tubing, and began their attempt starting from Wiluna in early June 1972. First John and then Peter turned back, but Rankin continued to Lake Disappointment before being forced to abandon the attempt. The remains of one of their trolleys lie 19 km north of Well 15. 1973, Rankin tried again, this time starting from Old Halls Creek with Englishman John Foulsham. This time they had professionally built trolleys with motor-cycle wheels. The walk began on 1 June. Soon after reaching Godfrey's Tank they were unable to pull the trolleys over the high sand hills. They left them and walked on to Lake Tobin and there abandoned the attempt and returned to Halls Creek. 1976, Rankin achieved his ambition to walk the stock route. After driving the route in a Land Rover and establishing food depots along the way, he set out from Halls Creek on 12 July 1976 with three other bushwalkers, Ralph Barraclough, Kathy Burman and Rex Shaw. Barraclough turned back after becoming ill, but the others completed the journey in just under three months.

[@Adventure8]

Thanks for doing the research on Murray Rankin. We need to salute fellow adventurers. Cheers

[@mauriceupton1474]

fredbrackely Thanks for that info, I could imagine how tough it would have been, I don't think our generation could possibly even contemplate or complete doing what the early Pioneers did, knowing the distances between stops, no modern communication or equipment just shanks's Pony, utterly mind-blowing.

[@rogerhalfpenny2455]

Great memories no doubt

[@josephdegroot1384]

loved the adventure and film, would love to know more about the troop carrier and any upgrades? Joe.

[@Adventure8]

Thanks. The Troopy is almost unstoppable and super reliable. Just what you want when you are weeks from nowhere....

[@stuartkcalvin]

A great videography, loved every minute. Nice to see a DOP involved. Fires at night - be aware that the local wood that you collect and then burn might be ground habitat for local fauna. We carry firewood on our trailer from our Canberra base. As well as heat beads. Given that, we are aware of when a fire is appropriate and relevant, or not. And are cautious with our solid fuel. The Thorny Dragon that you handled off the road could have done with a little dousing of water after handling. Handling native fauna is just not on. Would you pick up a snake? Don't chase camels or emus down a track. They get distressed, just back off and wait. Roads are closed for more than a couple of reasons - chopping up the track, bogging and 'widening' the track. So don't drive a closed track. Your vehicle might be able to get through but maybe the next one won't be able to get through. In WA, NT and QLD it's about a $4,000 fine per wheel when bogged on a closed road/track. Subscribed.

[@Adventure8]

Thanks

[@interdec]

So you guys were actually with others? Adventure8? Loved your video, thanks for making it.

[@Keithygeorge]

I know it was a while ago, but do you remember any figures on the fuel usage? Im going this month in a 70 series V8 and a small but capable trailer. I dont want to carry to much extra fuel, and obviously dont want to run out either. So far, the toyota carries 166L and the trailer has 140L. Any data you can share would be very much appreciated. Also, this is a very good video. Thank you both.

[@Adventure8]

How exciting. You will really enjoy the challenge. You should probably work on 25 litres to the 100km. So 300 litres should give you a range of around 1500km. That gives you some choices re how much you fill up at Kunawarriji community. Enjoy the trip and keep me posted on your adventures.

[@Keithygeorge]

@@Adventure8 thankyou so much. I will, I don't do KZbin, I couldn't put together something tube worthy. I do have an insta that I play with, I'll throw up some pics on it for my international family. But I will try to get back to you once we've completed it. Once again, thanks.

[@billcrowle]

Love the frog from the well and the Vegemite shot! Is the Cruiser a V8, I expect so, to get a trailer over the dunes! Nice to follow your route on the HEMA GDT maps 5th Edition. see my photos on p.117,202-204 :-)

[@Adventure8]

Yep, 4.2 litre V8

[@billcrowle]

Nice camel shot near the nice campsite! Did you get around that lake OK? So lucky with the thorny devil!

[@billcrowle]

I admire the way you swapped camera directions from front to rear rear while driving one handed across the lake, very tricky and risky if you ran into a soft spot or off the edge!

Sooner the better.

[@stevenq3840]

Very enjoyable and inspirational film, thank you Peter and Sven. Please could you tell me the model of drone you used? Thanks again , beautifully filmed and put together 👍🏻

[@Adventure8]

Steven Q : hi Steven. The drone is a DJI Phamtom 4. Pretty tough drone. It has survived a number of "pilot error" crashes. Glad you enjoyed the movie.

[@Adventure8]

Phantom 4. Typo

[@Adventure8]

The drone is a DJI Phantom 4. Glad you enjoyed the movie.

[@Julianmetcalfe]

I enjoyed your movie. Good work. Would love to know how much fuel you went through. Cheers Julian

[@Adventure8]

Julian metcalfe: We used around 25 liters per 100km in average over the 2000km of CSR. The Landcruiser can hold 175 liters and another 100 liters on the trailer (5 x Jerry cans).

[@billcrowle]

What camear do you use for submerged shots and the frightening ones you drive over?

[@Adventure8]

It’s the small all weather camera, Nikon W300. This is my 4th one. I treat them rough, usually destroy them eventually. Average life 2-3 years.

[@glennpascoe1953]

Can you remember the dates you were crossing the water above well 22. I would love to know if it was close to our date there. Cheers

[@Adventure8]

Glenn Pascoe: Hi Glenn, I think it was around 5/5/18. Let me know when you were there. Cheers Peter

[@glennpascoe1953]

23/4/17 I Assume you mean 5/5/17 :-) We got to just below Well 21 but the lake you ran around the edge of had water to the sand hills. So maybe we did the wise thing running out to Talawana Track. The piece you walked may have been fine but that last one you walked through looks like it would have been doable. Cheers

Hi Roger, the trip was in May 2017.

Fack even the old folks are cool in Australia. I should have traveled there back in the 90's like I wanted to.

[@Adventure8]

Never too late

I lived in Canada for 16 years; loved it. I hope to make it there someday. Have a Cooper's Sparkling with Alby Mangles maybe. I envy ya's down there. Cheers!

[@grahameroberts8109]

Good stuff but why was travelling spelt as traveling?

[@Adventure8]

I'm afraid spelling has never been my forte.... type ahead and spell check hasn't helped much. Oh well, I guess I'll just focus on improving my movies and photography, my creative side.

[@grahameroberts8109]

Griniflix - Adventure8 Perhaps you have the US dictionary setting not the Australian one.

[@billcrowle]

At the water stretch, I would have thought by then your tyres were already 34psi or so, what were they! for other visitors here, check some notes on the track here... flic.kr/p/afD864

[@Adventure8]

Thanks for all your suggestions. Always looking for opportunities to improve my movies. Te tyre pressures, 25psi on the back and about 20 psi on the front. On soft sand dunes, with the trailer, I dropped the pressure again 20psi back and 15psi front.

[@darticulate8751]

Very Nice and Beautiful journey, love to do something similar in the not too distant future, anybody need a co-pilot get in touch, all best!

[@Adventure8]

Stay in touch. Go to my website Adventure8.com.au and if I have enough interest, I will organise another tour. Cheers

[@Kurtis11266]

In the future please don't take trailers on the CSR, they damage the track significantly and the amount of abandoned trailers on the edge of the track is truly heartbreaking. It may not seem like a big deal and even silly to bring this up, but it's just very very careless,

[@Adventure8]

Thanks for watching and commenting. There is no argument to travelling light. A trailer can provide some creature comforts but the downsides can be far greater on difficult and isolated terrain, such as the CSR. There are numerous burnt out 4x4 littering the CSR which means things can go horribly wrong. Hopefully, anyone watching my outback videos will learn to be well prepared, be safe and leave locations as you found them.

[@Kurtis11266]

@@Adventure8 I just explained the argument and you completely disregarded it, marks my words in the future trailers will be banned on the CSR for the exact reasons I just mentioned.

landcruiser no better touring vehicle in the world! and plenty of v8 power for the dunes how was the economy of the combo 19ltrs ish.....

[@Adventure8]

Yes around 19/20 litres to the 100km for good quality roads. Averaged 24/100km across the Canning.

[@steinwaygrande9736]

Bloody Cooper tyres. Still the same rubbish, popping sidewalls and throwing the tread off the casing. They havent learned much. Better 4x4 tyres then Cooper. Was thinking of getting a set but after seeing this FORGET IT.

[@Adventure8]

steinwaygrande: Cooper Tyres have actually been the best for me. I think the reality of the puncture I received must have been from an earlier trip where I might have spiked the tyre. Nevertheless I still prefer Coopers over many other brands. Just my opinion for what it's worth.

[@steinwaygrande9736]

Not a problem. Just that I have not only seen shredded tyres and burst sidewalls with Coopers, plus they did get a very bad rap at one stage. Perhaps the latest tyres are superior then the early batches. Each to their own. Used to run Goodyear MTR,s for years. Okay ,never got great mileage from them, but by hell they were tough. Then they lost the plot entirely and Maxxis and Hankook seem to have taken over that segment in the market. I currently run General Grabber A/Ts after being told not to buy Procomp A/T . Strange that one doesn`t see any Procomp tyres these days, unless I am in the wrong place at the wrong time
