Ha, same! I drive a GSF, yet love this show, it's renewed what my lady would call, "A silly, unnatural need for a camping truck/suv when we live in the suburbs!"

[@ozymandias7940]

That's all this show has become, pure entertainment value. The more the clicks, the more money they make. I've been watching this channel for years and it's really gone down hill. (Pun intended)

[@albertduckett8591]

Why don't they just have superlight, lifted vehicles with 30KG of camping gear? I feel these boys feel the need to bolt loads of crap on to make it look "overland" when they just need the essentials?

[@albertduckett8591]

@@tbrowniscool good thinking

[@eldraino9933]

This content is such a high quality. I’d challenge anyone to find more compelling, engaging off road adventure content anywhere in the world, on any media platform. The production and post production crew are absolutely smashing it out of the park. This particular vid beautifully edited with excellent voice over narration and lead ins. I’ve seen it up but I’m saving this up to view on Sunday night on my 84 inch OLED to do it justice because and iPad just doesn’t convey the scale of this vid. Excellent work people - absolutely magnificent stuff

[@jake-coombs]

One of the best trip's to watch by far. I really like that you cover the hard tracks and the off grid trips plus 4x4 builds. To quote graham "it doesn't get much better than this". Best 4x4 channel by far. Watching from the UK.

[@BoldRam]

Awesome few episodes!! Someone let Azza know not to choke the strap round the tree. You should always basket it round. This doubles the load rating whereas choking it reduces it to 75% swl.

[@AzventuresAustralia]

Noted mate 🤘not something I would usually do mate, we were just trying to keep as much rope on the winch drum for quicker winching

[@overlandready]

@@AzventuresAustralia It's a usual fail point for 4wd24/7. The winching techniques used are normally exceedingly poor. a metre of rope is not going to make enough difference where as creating a weak point is. it's obvious to me that there needs to be some winch training refreshers for the team.

[@petarcetinich9246]

I lost my rig January this year in a bad crash, spent 6 months in bed as a result, and i live in Coffs Harbour so its painful not to get out with all the top quality tracks we have here, but living my 4x4 adventures vicariously though you guys keeps me going, you really have built the best 4x4 show available across the globe. A great bunch of top blokes doing the best off road action. Cheers lads.

[@bamafencer12]

Take care!

[@calimino7]

@4WD 24-7 should get a go fund me going for this guy

[@petarcetinich9246]

Thanks guys. And thanks Calimino7 but that’s not needed. The truth is that I was actually on the way to commit suicide using my Rig ( loved it and was gonna die in it haha ) and crashed on the way to where I was headed. So it’s a sign I’m meant to be here and sort my shit out lol. And no I’m not seeking sympathy I just firmly believe that we shouldn’t avoid talking about mental health especially us blokes who keep it bottled up. Regardless even if I did get the money to get another rig because I crashed on a public road ( nobody else hurt, no property damaged only myself and my car) but the cops fined me and I lost my license for 12 months. Not the best help to overcome suicidal depression when you can’t even get out and drive lol they really know how to kick a guy when he is down. But I’ll get back up on my feet mate. And even if I had a rig atm I couldn’t use it and my son would be constant asking for me to take him wheeling when I can’t and I would be tempted by it daily haha. I appreciate your kind thoughts though. Your a good bloke.

[@jarrod1687]

Peter I hope you're doing better mate, that's pretty full on. I've heard a lot of blokes get over there depression buying a dirt bike and going for adventures, totally different to being in a cab of a 4b. You obviously have some bad shit going on in your life if you felt the need to end it, you need to figure out what is making you miserable and put steps in place to fix those issues, if it's a trauma from childhood, seek therapy, if it's a purposeless life, find meaning and even start working out. Maybe even a career change if that's making you hate your life, if you drink excessively or even smoke to much weed try and limit tour intake, youll be amazed how much better you feel after a few weeks. Sorry for my unsolicited advice but I'm just throwing it out there if any of this applies to you in case it helps. Best of luck mate

[@matthewmccullough8600]

The worst part about this series is that the videos don't come out fast enough🤣😅😂 I binged watched all Cape York adventures last weekend, now I am lost with out a purpose till each new episode come out🤘🤘🤘 Keep up the great work gentlemen!!

Loads of drama, fun and hanging with a bunch of like minded mates, just great, no wonder it's so enjoyable to watch. The time just flew by...

Big croc in cockatoo at the crossing there. Also, contrary to what people think, there’s a 4/5ft croc in Nolan’s as well.

[@andrewt3952]

@@seantibbey9368 nah mate. They don’t care. A good mate of mine lived a the camp on the northern bank there up until 5 years ago and had a few of his horses hit by the same croc. It happened enough that he set up a camera and got footage of it. We saw it heaps during wet seasons. Over the years. I still live up this way. The small croc at Nolan’s has been in at the crossing area for the last 3 or so years too. I’ve even seen a croc around 10 ft above fruit bat falls.

The Dmax was super impressive. For a little rig she performed really well..

[@Clappedoutgarbage]

Man here in America people seem to think you need 40 inch tires to go "off road" but apparently you only need a slight lift and 35s (or 32s in Jesse's case) to do some hardcore wheelin

[@anniekkedavis4244]

the terrain is very different, we also live by "she'll be right" 😂

[@originalname9999]

Western side of the states 35's are the minimum you want or need for some of the trails. 40's just make it a bit easier. That said, you can do a lot on 32's to just get out and about.

[@TurboJThomas]

You can’t compare US tracks to Australia. Try Moab or The Rubicon on 35s and you’ll see why guys go bigger here.

Hi Shaun , great adventure , . Like south Florida back in the 70’s lots of water just at end of the rainy season . Sadly most of Florida has been built up and not many places to ride off road anymore . A little cooking tip to pass around to your mates . 1 pan cooking I have a 10 inch cast iron skillet with a cast iron cover that I bake in and use as steamer . The secret is standard SS. Nuts and piece of 3/13 inch steel plate . For baking I put 4 nuts in the pan and the plate on the nuts . A little oil on the plate then your meat . If you want to some veggies , I make open envelope with aluminum foil put a little water in and put it in the pan next to the meat about 5-10 min before the meat is done . I cook stuff about 350 f so on the camp you shouldn’t need a lot of coals . Steaming is about the same , except I stack a extra nut under the plate and pour water in so it just touches the bottom of the plate . Steaming cooks things a lot faster , so if it’s a late night and you want a quick din steaming is the way to go . I have tried all kinds of meat steaming all has come out good . Both of these too different ways of cooking are nice also because you don’t have to mess with the food just and go do something else. You have to a bit careful when cooking on a camp fire with the baking at first . Well safe travels
