Ronny Dahl - Hey Ronny, your editing program should be able to allow you to change that track from stereo to mono. That should do it. If not there's som courseware called *Audacity* and its free. It's a great audio program...
You can also use the shovel to prepare the 6ft hole for the ones who don't use the garbage bags provided. There is not much worse than pulling in to one of the amazing spots in this amazing country to find some loser has left rubbish everywhere and broken glass for kids to stand on. Good job Ronnie.
Good man Ronny for including the plastic bags as a bare essential. Taught this saying years ago in school about respect for the environment - "Take only photos, leave only footprints". Cheers
A BIG tick for the garbage bag reminder - Bash, Burn and Carry - carry out what you carry in. Being two parts tanked is not an excuse to hurl the empty into the scrub - no matter how deep in the bush you are. If ya can't handle ya grog don't drink. Sub'ed - and looking for your matter of fact 'straight shooting' good advice.
So I have watched alot of your videos and this comment about first aid made me realize there is a bit of a hole in the info you present. Stop the bleed training can easily save a life for us offroaders. I would love to see a video on first aid kits and use of cat tourniquet or packing, pressure bandage, chest seals and etc. Could easily prevent you from dieing in a rollover or just a vehicle crash. I didnt realize how big a deal it was until more recently. Love the videos.
I'm from NC,USA. I was wondering what back roads to take to get to western Australia. I'm gonna look at that trail guide website Ronny. Wonder if my stock Nissan Frontier can make that water crossing. LOL! Well, wish I could make it over there someday to 4wheel. I Enjoy your channel! Thanks.
Good tip Ronny about taking all your garbage home I used Todo a lot of sea kayaking and camping and we always took out our garbage there is no excuse if you have a vehicle some fishermen and 4wd people were really bad at junking up the beaches
I carry two 150L/minute compressors one is a back up, for for obvious reasons, and two snatch straps. One exhaust jack and the Maxtrax mats. All have come in useful.In WA especially Perth, the 4wd tracks are slowly being closed, which means having to travel further and further out of Perth.
Thanks for the input more than 4x4 we have a few other videos covering spare parts and one just on recovery gear. We will be doing one on remote travel in the near future. Recovery gear explaind; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uZPdzWsNotY.html Spare parts; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4RIWWr_W1xI.html
more than 4x4 i just plugged another hairdryer onto my 4.5 so its a twin turbo rig like its bigger brother she pulls hard alot of tricky tigging but i got it done .
Step 1: Get in a car with an experienced 4WDer, start with sand. Learn from their experience. Step 2: Learn the limits of what the car can do, get safely bogged in soft dunes or high up a beach. Step 3: Learn how to DIG YOURSELF OUT with a long-handled shovel. Learn to set your tires to an appropriate PSI for the bog. Step 4: If you can't get out with a shovel and tire deflators you're in an intermediate situation. Learn to do the basics first.
Ronny, great channel I enjoy your videos. Do you have a video on coms/ what radio(s) you use? I see the big antennas and it always makes me curious what you have, what range its effective etc.
Good job mate. Love the pink max trax... I like what you said wrt standard tyres. Too many people (sales 'gurus') say that you HAVE to fork out $$$$$ for mtr's. If that is the case how come the emergency services still use cheese cutters for their offroad vehicles? Lol
How should I strap a full sized shovel to my mounted hi-lift it fits well there? I'm thinking zip ties, Velcro, maybe a bungy cord... Have you seen anything?
Hi Ronny, greetings from Indonesia. Please recommend me a good heavy duty portable air compressor for below $100 for my Hilux. Thank you for your great videos.
Not carrying a shovel because somebody else in the group is carrying one, is ignorant. More shovels makes for a faster recovery and you have back ups if one breaks. Plus it’s fairly minimal, yea it adds up but minimal.
your missing the number 1 thing.......drinking water and could add jerry can of fuel. also tell someone where and when you are going so if you dont come back in time they can raise the alarm with a location.
If factory tow points aren't good why does arb put on the description of their bull bars "retains factory tow points"? Are recovery points okay if they're on the bull bar? Some people say that will rip the bull bar right off the vehicle. Others say it's not an issue.
+Matt V (Camel51) Factory tow points are for towing not recoveries. As with recovery points on a bull bar I would strongly advise not to use them, the bolts are made to hold the barwork on and not to withstand massive shock loads i.e. a snatch recovery. If you keep using them (points on the bar work) you will have a high risk of the bull bar flying off becoming a giant destructive projectile...
At 2:36 you say you can't use a tow ball for recovery but then at 2:51 you say you can use the towball pin ?!!??? The towball pin is 10mm thick (give or take) yet a tow ball thread is like 20 or 30mm......doubt that would ever sheer off. You sure you got that info correct or am I missing something? TA
Yes you are missing something. The tow ball is not designed for shock loading people have died from using one during recovery. It becomes a missile and tears anything in its path including people
There is a fair bit of difference which will be covered in an upcoming video. You pay for what you get, stay tuned for some detailed information and video on recovery boards.
Hi, I would like to buy an off road vehicle but i would like it have a bit of comfort because I like to travel long distances. Mi budget is about 10000, which one you recommend? thanks
thats pretty obvious. whatever your vehicles payload capacity is rated at, stay under that number. most 1/2 ton trucks are around 2,000lbs payload cap. jeeps are around 1,200lbs payload cap. it will say on your inside door jam badge what yours is or you can google your vehicles payload cap.
If towing a boat & camper I would suggest getting used to 4WDing before attempting to drag a boat or camper through rough tracks (you will also need a trailer that can handle rough terrain depending on how serious the tracks are). This shouldnt stop you from getting out there however, you can leave the camper/boat at a "base camp" (i.e. caravan park or areas you know others wont be which is ideal in very remote locations) and then head off without the trailer attached until you gain the confidence and skills. Towing a trailer off-road requires good trailer skills!
2:35 With all sincerity, what are you saying? "Tow bulb"? Never mind, the internet gods were kind in my research. Apparently you call "bull bars", "tow bulls" down yonder. Got to love being separated by a common language sometimes.
I think he’s saying “tow ball” ie trailer hitch ball. They are made for downward force and if yanked horizontally may shear off and fly at bullet speeds like a cannonball with great destructive potential
Sorry.... had to dislike the video. The volume is so low I almost have to throw my audio system wide open. That's a no go for me. If there is a energy peak my system will give a loud bang.... bad shielding. So can't watch this video but I really want to learn from video's like this but the low audio is just too bad. But I got time. I'm 31 and don't even have a license😅 Never needed a car but the more I watch off road expedition video's the more I want to do the same. So I finally started to save money to get driving lessons and my license and a car. But I start very very cheap.... A Suzuki Samurai😅 It's a cute little off road monster if you put some money in it.
