I was at the Perth 4wd show. At a suspension stand, a blue shirt asked the shock absorber guy if his shocks were up to extreme 4wdriving. The young bluey was asked what he meant by extreme 4wdriving., the answer was, like the powerlines and stuff,, The shockie guy answered with a wry smile”that’s not extreme on shockies mate, that’s a walk in the park. What’s extreme on shockies is driving through the Outback on hundreds of kilometres of rough corrugated tracks”

buster130579 I was really saying about the torture shockies get on our outback roads. As indicated at a point in this film. Outback touring is probably as hard on gear as technical stuff.

Ha good to see! We sat in that destroyed Prado and put the bonnet back on, they had a good CD collection. I just remember the bird calls around the Ruddall river being incredible. We broke it down a bit more and camped in the spot you filmed in on the southern entry and that was a good one with heaps of firewood and a hidden bore for you water refills. Look forward to seeing your camp at DQB.

I didn't notice the CD collection! I suppose it was quite crispy...I've just edited our arrival at DQB and ohhh the bird song in the morning 😁 so you camped where the old bore was? That was a nice shady spot 🙂

I have the goods prescribed to me from my DR and now I only get very minor headaches. It has change my life and can go off grid for as long as I like. Within reason of course. Cheers.

At 16:00 don't worry about it. But why anyway do you do 300 km in a day, when you are bypassing so many interesting places. Just do a comfy whatever, enjoy yourselves, have fun. Camp anywhere, you are out in the bush, so just HANDLE IT. I lived in the Pilbara and loved every millisecond of it. You could cut the music out too. Got binoculars to observe the animals? And 600 ml of water on a long walk is VERY unwise. I take a backpack, 4 litres of water (only 4 kg) and good for about one full day out there (24 hours max). Enough time if you get lost/stuck somehow.
@boyfromthehills21625 жыл бұрын
I’m guessing the time limit had something to do with the long km
@Alex.G5 жыл бұрын
I actually felt like 300km was a pretty short day! I think the mood had a lot to do with planning too tightly and therefore having expectations. You can't crack the shits if you don't set expectations. I think that's the battle plan for the future 🙂
@gortnewton47655 жыл бұрын
@@boyfromthehills2162 Better to hit a pile of interesting places close together (you know, 50 km apart or whatever they are) and see plenty than do lots of km's to get to some distant place. It's not like you are invading Russia and have to get to Moscow before dinner-time. There's a whole lot of rampaging and pillaging to be had all along the way too, so just, you know, rampage and pillage and have fun!

@@Alex.G I also take binoculars and my bird-book to check out the local birds and gold pan and kit for those lumps of gold that might be found and my metal detector (home-built, I'm an electronics engineer and it's as good as a $5k Minelab) for looking for meteorites and those, you know, lumps of gold and I've got a HF radio for chatting with people at long, long distances (got the licence for it) and for contacting the VK737 network just in case. But I see you have a very nice drone with camera. I must get one of those, good for looking over hills instead of climbing to see what is there etc. Very nice idea.
@Alex.G5 жыл бұрын
I certainly had the bird book with me and referenced that a few times! I think i had a gold pan too, but I don't recall using it. Home made metal detector is a great idea, especially if that's your profession! And yeah, drones are pretty handy for checking out an area, especially if you lose the track!

I'll give you a proper answer Michael 😄 the thought process was that having it left in might save the rear bumper from a knock or two. Say...dropping off a ledge it might catch the towball rather than damage the bumper. That was the thinking behind it anyway, whether it's legitimate technique or not is up for debate.

@Alex.G5 жыл бұрын
It all depends on preference. The Prado is the perfect size for 2 people, and especially as they aren't really into the tougher tracks it does a good job. There's always a camper trailer if they need to haul more gear 🙂
