Salt Sand & Cliffs Overland Adventure, part 2

[@Elast3l]

I love trip videos. I usually lay in bed with my 6 month old son and we watch them together before falling asleep. Sometimes he can't stay awake all the way through.

[@consaka1]

I like trip repair videos. :)

[@russellwest236]

I do the same thing with my boys! 5yrs, and 2yrs.

[@aussiedrifter]

Great Video again Ronny, I think the best & most poignant part of the video was your very serious & sobering talk on being stranded in the Outback & the importance of staying with the vehicle. Your breakdown highlighted the fact that even the most experienced & well prepared expedition can run into an unexpected mechanical failure, if anything the breakdown is in my opinion one of the most important & memorable videos from a safety point of view.

[@znovosad555]

If there's something this channel has taught me, it's enjoy life a little bit. True 4wding is in my near future. Backpacking and remote camping even sooner.

[@Tennyson_W05]

I will be turning 18 this year. Getting my mum's mazda bravo at the end of the year and I will have my p's. Get some friends together and get out of town. Living in Tassie. Great places to go

[@znovosad555]

MRTJ434 I'm turning 18 in June United States. So a little less than 5 months. I have a 2001 Ford F-150 7700. Limited on the trails. Great work machine. I'm looking to trade in for an FJ cruiser or something like it eventually.

[@ppha7665]

Those V8 diesels sound phenomenal!

[@davetaf1323]

Ronny I'm so glad to be alive when you post new vids no one shows such detail views and unbiased reviews on products etc ........plz don't stop

[@patrickm62nov]

Sand dunes, coastline, campfires, red hot pizzas, safety messages, drone shots, V8 engines and pork roasts! What a great video, what a great life, lots to learn here and as always thanks for taking the time to share with us.

[@GTMQ8]

One of your best trip videos yet Ronny. We mustn't forget that anything can happen out there and it's best to go on trips like this with a group.

[@fod8u]

That time lapse of the stars over the dunes.. Bravo Ronnie, bravo.

[@DansDrives]

Best offroading vidoes on KZbin. Thanks again for the great content Ronny.

[@zjenji]

Everyone should have a friend like Torben! If you are the Torben of your group, god bless you.

[@Berserkeroffroad]

I enjoyed the slower pace of this video. I felt like I was able to kick back and relax with you guys. Thanks for sharing!

[@thintiner]

Great tip on staying with the vehicle, it's the same boat here, stay with it or you will freeze to death. Two big thumbs up on the pepper slap!

[@greggorychillin]

You really are a true insperation and tutor of these types of exploring Ronny, keep it up! And It is so good of you to educate at the same time. Cheers from Sweden

[@mikewasowski1411]

Perfect excuse for the longer axle! Awesome vid

[@123jpost]

Great drone footage, great editing, the picture quality is the best. Really liking your off road adventure.

[@insaynbcr]

Those turbo diesels sound so nice! I know I am not the only guy in North America jealous as hell of those.

[@matty.3696]

insaynbcr if those were brought to the US they would sell like ice cream cones on a hot day.

[@joshmazur7602]

That sand boarding was so funny what a classic. Great video

[@MattSieber]

Best Channel on the interweb for sure.

[@VideosOfRandomThings]

cant wait for part 3!!! your videos are next level Ronny! love them!!!

[@rollyb5061]

once again Ronny, loved the vid, the break down you had added to the trip , a sat phone is a definite great work guys

[@mpompeia]

And ..those timelapses are wonderful - well done!

[@adelarsen9776]

Most excellent production with good advice and calm reasoned demeanour.

[@robcreel4257]

You dudes certainly know how to party! Love the videos as well as the vehicles.

[@InMused]

Great Video Ronny, very sobering. We have one of our SPOT message buttons set to "off road recovery required".

[@mentalmetal2499]

Your videography and editing are top shelf! Thank you for posting!

[@shauncomper1304]

Great video, good message about travelling in a group and an excellent pizza cooking segment, looked like the perfect way to deal with the situation .

[@monjury]

Great stuff Rony. Can't wait for part 3.

[@MikeIllusion92]

Loving it so far mate, cannot wait for the last part!

[@davidbrand2139]

HI Ronnie, great video, looks like a great trip, and really good commentary! I truly believe your video's are by far the best 4x4 series around. Pat Callahan and All 4 Adventure are great shows too, however they don't have enough actual four wheel driving in their content and tend to be more product placement bits or about fishing. I like that you drive a real four wheel drive, that has not had hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on modifications which is well beyond the reach of us normal folk. Thanks again. DB

[@mohamedammarnsiri8163]

Absolutely phenomenal adventure !!!! you will be the first person i visit if i come to Australia one day!!!

[@manuujkathuria]

Great video once again Ronny! Some very useful advice there in the end with regard to staying with the car incase of being stranded in remote areas. Keep up the great work and we are all looking forward to the next video!

[@retiredafce3373]

Ronny, that really sucks. But you guys really made the best of it! Thanks for the video.

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

You have no clue how jealous I am right now!

[@Outland9000]

Yeah, me too. To live in a big country like Oz must be great. The UK feels SO tiny to me.

[@JoeC92]

Great video lucky Juha knows what he's doing. Lucky you got a great set of mates to be out in the bush with.

[@Flyanb]

Great video Ronnie looks cold at night. I love the breakdown advice. We have also had trouble from thermostats to catostrophic brake line failure to broken cv's and drive shafts. It's great to wheel with common vehicles. Makes spare parts and tools easier.

[@mattseymour3119]

Bring on part 3 gonna be good to see the rest of the trip

[@williamsullivan305]

love the vids keep up good work

[@eightballsidepocket]

In two days I will be exploring the California desert. This video just amped me up more for the trip. :)

[@Gdwghandle1983]

Your vids are getting a lot better Ronny, good work..

[@theycallsmeella]

reinforces why you don't go on trips like this on your own haha.

[@mrjohnsonclarke]

Great vid! Thanks again. I can relate to that 'bad-dream' feeling. When we did our last Cape York trip (3rd trip) my Defender drank water at Nolans Brook through a flaw in the intake that I had overlooked, it bent a conrod that snapped a few K's later down the track, throwing my crank out through my sump and cracking holes in both sides of the block.. With 3 kids, missus and a camp trailer we were lucky we had people around to help us. There were many other disasters that we experienced on that same trip despite the preparation. I had the u-bolts on the trailer snap twice. Ran out of fuel on the PDR in the donor vehicle due to a fuel gauge fault. My niece bitten by a snake (she is fine). Snapped an axle in the donor vehicle and we had to recover (snatch) the Jardine river ferry to the shore due to it breaking down. In conclusion, interestingly, I wouldn't want to change a thing about that trip, it all provides an exciting story to tell...

[@mrjohnsonclarke]

Hey so I'm not sure what do do in all situations (of course). We wrapped the bite from the foot and all the way up the leg using a consistent but not too tight bandage application. We didn't have a sat phone, we tried other campers sat phones but they failed signal (the further you go north the worse the signal gets). We were on the UHF trying to call for help when someone camping a few Ks away heard our call. He jumped on his HF radio and called for Emergency Services. We had an ambulance arrive with Charles (the Jardine ferry manager) and they took her to Bamaga where she was air-lifted to the Torres Straight Islands for treatment. We 'think' it was a whip snake (but not entirely sure) as the symptoms were fluid build-up, pain and swelling of the joints. I think no# 1 item is a satellite phone (which you can hire) no# 2 is a HF radio and no#3 option is an Epirb. I always travel in convoy for safety reasons as I have kids of my own. After this experience we now carry a Sat phone and an Epirb. The situation can vary. When I was on my 2016 Simpson Desert trip, camping at Coopers Creek I almost stepped on an 'Inland Taipan' at about 2am in the morning. I am certain that no matter the preparations I would have likely died if I had of been bitten. The good side of this is that everyone was in so much shock from my stupidity that it enforced a very strong snake-aware mindset for the trip. Perhaps the close-call was worthy after all...

[@PatrickRich]

My favorite trip still, is the one where it all went wrong. I had a melted injector lede 50 miles from the nearest person on a trail that wouldn't have worked to be towed out of. We got it going but we lost our destinations after that. amazing how quickly a trip turns epic.

[@maxmboothe1957]

Big up! from Jamaica, nothing even remotely close to this here. Keep the great videos rolling

[@jedisid]

Your videos are the best Ronnie, keep it up!

[@richardwilliams8667]

Awesome Ronny. I guess that is the aftermath of the previous heavy setup you were running. At least proves the point that even Toyos have problems from time to time.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Interesting thing to think about. Wife and I are driving from California to Panama in a 22-year-old truck and have gotten into some remote areas along the way. Luckily we've been able to make it back to a city with all of our car problems. I have done a fair bit of wrenching in Walmart and Autozone parking lots though.

[@ufx808]

Absolutely stunning.

[@SpectreOZ]

Really excellent time lapse and aerial photography, kudos and cheers from Mildura!

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

cool vid....great ending with the sun setting!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Bloody shame Ronny but go hard mate, great to see the team rally behind you. Loving this series mate. Cheers Moose

[@kelvingitonga2537]

that beard though! love the vids, the seventy nines to die for..

[@johndiaz7240]

Thanks again, excellent.

[@retiredppd]

Pizza is my number one food I take camping. Here in the USA they sell a pre-baked pizza dough, just add sauce and toppings, then pop it right on the grate covered with aluminum foil. Cover and in five minutes it's done.

[@williamsullivan305]

i really love 79 series

[@MarcLaneAus]

Ronny, pizza bases you know whats a good base to use, the pita bread pockets, makes a mean thin and crispy on the Q. Also with the satellite phone its also good to have a EPIRB just in case of real trouble.

[@alansherratt8869]

Good stuff mate keep them coming!

[@badonkadonkskidz]

Your night time time lapse shots are incredible. Just brought my first 4wd and am thinking about joining you on the wildflower tour.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+gazza cheers mate. The wildflower tour is the only one that's not sold out yet. Apart from another few trips yet to be released of course.

[@Hellcatvsworld]

Amazing camera man,,, the stabilization in the handheld camera is great keep the good work man

[@travisgbarr]

Is that some nickelback I hear in the background during the bearing repair? I can always recognize the sounds of my home provinces (Alberta, Canada) greatest musical export! Nice choice fellas!

[@fordrac1ng81]

HAM or sat phone is a must if going in less traveled areas. Also having a spare starter if you have an auto as well as wheel bearings and extra fluids/fuses. The rest can usually be figured out in the bush or it's absolutely catastrophic.

[@christophersaul]

Come and enjoy some sand driving in the UAE, Ronny. Great video.

[@jamesmathews243]

Nice arial move at 5:45!

[@joshbriggsDayZBeast]

This place is breathtaking... i live in a town in england, miserable weather every day.. in my room everyday. I just wanna be out, on the road, in the sticks, on a beach in places im not familiar with :( My mum has an old t25 camper 2wd, buggered engine but soon to be replaced, with a set of knobbly's on it they are quite decent on the rough stuff as well as a bit of mud. Im certainly not gonna call you lucky, you have a true passion in this stuff, and you put allot of effort into these trips, but gawd i wish my country had a landscape like that.. or even any close country!

[@Bnghanm_]

wonderful life style keep up the nice work 👍

[@GavinGillett]

Your drunken cooking segment is the best 4wd cooking segment I have ever seen LMAO now that's what camp cooking really looks like :)

[@Peter-ol7he]

Do you doctor the replies to this Ronny? I often troll through the comments on your videos and I don't think I have ever come across a negative comment. For the internet, that is almost unheard of! This is another positive comment. Brilliant vids all up! Loving it every time you out another one up. And sometimes it's great to take forced time out to do nothing but explore your local surrounds and get drunk with your mates. Two warnings on this vid, 1. Stay with your vehicle and 2. Don't put too much chili on your pizza, especially when your with your mates. You can never back down in front of them. Keep it up mate and soon I hope I can send a vid of my fourby for you to put up hehe 5 minutes of fame

[@Ronny_Dahl]

very good question mate, never thought of it much. I do get the odd attack comment from people but I just dont respond as thats what they want you to do plus I'm far to busy to worry about it. I do filter a few words out like C... to keep it family friendly as there are a lot of kids watching these videos.

[@serg62961]

HELLO RONNY, serg from california. could you tell us how you did that night footage starting at about 5:10 , what camera you used and how you go about getting such great footage ?

[@hdmccart6735]

That sequence was just phenomenal right!? I thought the same thing, cheers from Melbourne, AUS!

[@meanmaori00]

serg62961 time lapse? Yeah?

[@brianpardee1281]

whats a good 4 wheel trip with out a nice break down

[@BrynWilliamsROM]

awesome Ronny!

[@echoverum5960]

Would love to see more trips with that white patrol with the ls conversion

[@fuddclements2874]

Thanks Ronny always a great vid but you're talent in editing and making short films is a testament to your passion Keep it up mate 👌

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Fudd Clements thank you very much

[@konradmoskal4138]

awesome video good work Ronny

[@trev9874]

cheers Ronnie great Vid thanks. It is also known as the Spotted Brown Snake just one of three subspecies are fairly similar in general appearance. so everyone knows

[@mountainconstructions]

Perhaps this has posed a great opportunity to make a Video on Sat Phones Which types to buy? Which carriers to go with? Pre Paid vs Post Paid? I see no one has a HF Radio in the group too.

[@mountainconstructions]

That was an awesome Video Ronny and Team. Your mechanical failure in that location my me really think (and shit a little). Glad you had good company... The pizza night was gold!!!! You were the one that tapped the extra chilli on, so no one else to blame :) Made for great viewing.

[@eroffroad5438]

Another great video. Say you did have the bearings and seals to repair your truck, what if you didn't have grease, what would you do?

[@jumpman1823]

Better than cable tv

[@fowletm1992]

it's a shame Travis from pdp didn't connect the dots for you lol I'm very close to where you broke down 130km east of esperance at Cape arid national park I also have a full set of parts being a remote farm including a whole rear axle houseing I could have also hooked you up with people in Esperance with parts and have alot of friends on the nullabour stations but you look back can ya got it all sorted in the end

[@JamiePaterson]

Hi Ronny, I'm a landscape photographer. It looks like you captured the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) at 5:12. Very cool.

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+Jamie Paterson yep sure did mate that's twice in a row caught some last time in that region too.

[@aka1321]

great video ronny.

[@12kerryman]

Hi Ronny, really enjoyed this 3 parter. Some amazing shots and very well put together. There is another channel I watch - roaming the outback, I hope it's ok to mention it here. Anyway the reason I bring this up is that Brett does a lot of solo trip. He has like a gps pager that tracks his progress, but also can be used to send sos messages and call the emergency services in case of accident/breakdown. Though I would mention it here given the discussion in the video. Keep doing what you are doing - great channel. Best regard Kerryman

[@Ronny_Dahl]

+12kerryman no worries at all mate and thanks for watching. I haven't heard of 'roaming the outback' will check it out 😉

[@mpompeia]

Dude, next time include more footage from inside the cabin in the dunes... it's just great :)

[@mavericmorph5358]

The footage just gets better and better. What's the range on the drone?.....cheers

[@derJackistweg]

“Textmarker“ - funny to see. I think it was mine :-)

[@lukeoderso]

Awesome!

[@GarminPro]

Man I wish I could bring my Tacoma TRD PRO to WA and go on one of these trips with you guys!

[@_monkee]

great vid mate - thanks for sharing. do you think the failed bearing (both rears) has anything to do with the neg offsets rims you're running? maybe a bit of additional side loading dut to the changed geometry?

[@channelx812]

a lovely place to break down i think if i broke down like that in the african bush i would give it about 3 hours then i would have a couple of lions watching me for sure .

[@kimerikjensen9317]

Another great trip video, love following you trips.... This spare part thing is this why you al drive Toyota´s ?

[@YoHo18]

As always, a very high quality video. Great shots. This puts many TV series to shame. Ronny, just curious how high did the drone go in your footage at around 3:00 minutes mark?

[@lilromance95]

Is that Israelite bay it is absoltely breath taking

[@jonnyjpg_]

Ronny, this is great! How are you doing your low-light timelapses? I see that it's also panning.

[@RBFR01]

Andrew White needs to come on one of these trips!

[@jjsadv]

Another great video. Just a question. What sat phone are you using, and what plan are you on. I am looking around for a good second hand Iridium sat phone to use with my Telstra SIM.

[@Breakinlife007]

Its time to upgrade your axles mate. Some nice GM 14 Bolt's shaved down would work wonders.

[@Dave-ix7lc]

Hi Ronny, just wondering if you could do a modified episode on a 140 series single cab Hilux, I would really appreciate it. Cheers.

[@Christian76S]

hey ronny, what about energy on your rig, have you got installed a solar panel too? even a compressor fridge would drain a 90Ah in 3 days. or did you turn on the engine once in a while? and for that boost device: you should check some review vids .. can't wait to see part 3 ..

[@tedbower685]

I don't think you could get it to hot in the weber Q, we have a wood fired pizza oven & it is 750deg C cook a pizza in a minute & half. great video.

[@SnowroxKT]

How are you able to do the time lapse panning? It produces some really great shots.

[@NicholasvanBezouwen]

Hi Ronny, what do you use to film the night time lapse? They look awesome! Thanks

[@anic0485]

Am I right that some of the guys use king swags? What's their verdict on em? Thinking about buying a bigger swag and they look quite alright. Love your videos, watch all of em. Wanna do more 4wheeling this year as well. Greetings from Adelaide
