Beach 4x4 Driving Tips | Beginners Guide 

Legend has it that even if he had a nightmare about wrong tyre pressures, he would still smile. Cheers for the video mate.

This is by far one of the best off-road channel out there. Thanks mate keep it on!

Love your work. Too many 4x4 advisory is done by know it all's. You are humble and helpful.

I bet the two dislikes are 4wd shop owners who now cant say ya need a 4" lift and 35s to go on the beach , love ya work matey :)

I went to North Carolina last week and did my first beach drive at Hatteras Island. It was a bunch of fun and caught some flounder. Thanks to your videos I was prepared. I actually ended up pulling two other folks who were stuck. Certainly appreciate all the info. Love your videos.

Amazing video, the best one I have ever seen for driving in sand, and one of the most comprehensive topical videos I have ever seen on RU-vid. You are super prepared with very important items needed for safe travels. Also, your video quality and multiple camera usage is top notch! Keep up the excellent work, and thanks for sharing all of this great advice. P. S. Love that method for storing a second hat, very cool idea!

This is such great advice and so well explained. I've used these techniques to drive my Subaru across beaches, dunes, and super soft river sand and have never gotten stuck. Thanks to your other video showing how low you can go before losing the bead, I now go down to 12 psi instead of 16 without worry.

Thanks mate! I'm literally going for my first beach run this coming weekend. Absolutely perfect timing!

Love your work Michael. You have great enthusiasm for everything you do and it shows in the end result.

your experience is shared thru you tube,, you are a legend to us novices. thanks so much. cheers keep it up much appreciated. G + J

No drama's!! Haha you sound so chill! Going to try this with my jeep & I loved this video, cool calm & well explained.

Gave ya a like before even watching mate. Love all your videos and I've already drove on the beach multiple times with my Mitsubishi outlander without ever getting bogged thanks to your great tips.

I’ve watched a lot of the 4x4 channels, new to this one and think it’s great! Cheers for the advice! ( it’s realistic)👍

I’m always learning great tips from your videos. I didn’t even know to use 4low on the sand, when bogged. I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks mate!

Another informative & entertaining video. Thanks Michael, keep 'em coming.

So glad I happened upon your channel! I have never driven on a beach yet, by myself, nor with anyone else driving a vehicle over sand. But since getting my AWD and discovering the possibilities I have locally for new beach adventures, I'm researching before I dive in. Watching this has opened my eyes to so much that I hadn't considered before. Thank you. I know that I'll be watching again about a dozens times before I go out.

Well, the channel may be dead, however this video got me on, and off the beach for the first time, and with warm weather coming it's time for a refresher

Thanks Mike for all your tips, enthusiasm & motivation to viewers. You have helped our 18yr old decide 4wd purchase over a city ute. 4wd life is "clean" adventure you've excell at promoting. Thank you

Man, you're the best. I literally enjoy your enthusiasm as you explain driving technique. Your channel is my number one go-to for learning to drive on different surfaces

I have no words to describe how grateful am I hit your channel. Best videos ever. Ya legend.👏👏

I’m literally heading out to buy some 4wd gear now and said I better do some research for the first trip up that way too btw. I think I’ve all I need now. Thanks bud.

As a owner of a new BT50 thanks for the tuition of turning OFF the traction control and the reasoning behind it 👍

This is the best sand driving instructional video I've seen. Very detailed in different scenarios.

Great video Michael, thanks! We're moving out west to Washington State here in a few months and plan on doing some beach driving the day after we arrive. Of course being a 4Runner it might be difficult to get stuck in the first place but I'll do my best to get bogged! I'll be sure to send some pics your way with the Seek Adventure decals you sent :)

Great stuff for newbies. It is amazing how you can screw things up even when you are experienced. I remember driving around up at Sandy Cape in our old 60 series and the whole day I was thinking, boy, the sand is soft today. The cruiser just didn't feel normal and everything seemed extra boggy. It wasn't until near the end of the day that I finally realised that I hadn't locked the front hubs in. Not something drivers of newer 4x4s will need to worry about but I guess it shows just how amazing the old 60 was on sand. She didn't bog even though I had been in 2wd all day. Got close once though :)

Thanks Michael, this is a great beginners vid, love the comedy thrown in.

Just found this channel, absolutely brilliant mate. Glad you're making content again!

Good idea about the photo when bogged mate! Your a legend! Having watched many people on the beach here near fraser, it sucks the whole culture of shaming people for getting stuck. Its a learning experience and better to be in a situation youve experienced before than not know and have never known what its like. Glad i found your channel mate! Keep smiling!

Nice video mate, appreciate the time you put into helping others. cheers.

I've watched a few sand driving videos getting ready for my first sand off-road in Southern California (Pismo Beach) next week. This video stands out as being straight forward, not panic causing, and with a great presentation. Thanks mate!

good one mate loving the content keep going with the good work!

Great video mate. I think a lot of tubers are afraid of instructional vids because of negative comments or they are afraid of sounding condescending but I wish there were more of these types of vids. Lots of great tips and straight to the point as well

Great video, just bought my first 4WD and learnt some great tips regarding tyre pressures and tips to get myself out of trouble. Thanks.

Great video Michael! This is much better then the modern 'professionally' produced shows that have less content and rapid fire scene cuts that can send a person into a fit!

Great video mate, I've done a (very) little bit of 4WD-ing, it never hurts to refresh on techniques. Thanks again - Peter V.

Mate, you did it again - you put a lot of effort to make a great and helping video. My humble bow to you.

I learned so much. I love this channel!

Your an absolute inspiration mate, keep up the great work! 👌🏽

This has covered every question I had about beach driving thank u 😊

Ten minutes in and just realised you have two hats. Profound.

Thank you so much this was honestly a great watch with a few laughs and everything I need to know to get out there, thanks again mate

I like how you even went as far as getting stuck just to show us how to get out of the situation. Very good video. Gave me all the information I needed .

Outstanding information. Thanks so much. Happy travels

Hey Michael, as an old fart I had never done soft sand driving and went through a very rough ride to Burrum Point. Managed a bit of internet to get your video, and the trip was transformed! You taught me how to (a) drive through soft sand, (b) learn throttle control. Have a gorgeous BT-50 called Miriam who really has had a hard time going through sand until you advised me. Now she is transformed and pulls a 1.5 tailor. Thank you.

Dude you're an absoute top bloke. Im about to try beach driving soon and your video is exactly what i needed to watch! Thanks.

A GREAT video. Just got our first 4x4 and learned so much from this video. Keen to give it a (careful) crack very soon. Thanks mate! Subscribed.

New subscriber, love your videos! I got a wk a few years ago. I had never driven on the beach but was familiar with 4 wheel drive. Anyway went on the beach for the first time a few years ago, made it on the beach and to our parking spot, but on the way out got stuck. I never new about airing down or turning off the traction control. Got a bit stuck but fellow jeepers hand pushed me out. Anyway, you've given me some more tips..thank you!

Flawless videos. So much hard work behind this and always with smiles.

Very informative as always,, I enjoyed the video, thanks

Awesome mate! Thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome video great display ..new to the 4x4 scene ...top notch ..

Always quality, never fail to produce. Well done mate.

one of the best videos on Beach driving. keep it up mate.

First time I went 4WD'ing on the beach I carried an extra pair of dacks and I definitely needed them lol !

Awesome tips thanks mate, hope to see you at Perth's 4wd show!

Everyone needs to watch again and play the tyre pressure drinking game. Every time you here the word tyre pressure take a sip. It's alot of fun. Awesome tips as always. Cheers.

Good piece mate, thanks.

Hey Michael great informative video. Keeping it simple and tyre pressures low. 👍

You are legend. This is the best sand driving tips for beginners I have seen. Wish you a very Merry X’mas and prosperous New Year🎉

Great advice and heaps of tips, cheers bud

Another great Video, well done.

As always, great camera work. I really enjoyed this vid despite having a fair bit of beach experience. Good advice and kept it as simple as possible. Also, I too get bogged just to prove an example to all others!

Thank you buddy! For taking the time to go through all the explanation and examples when you could have been surfing...next essential for beaching...back up wet suit!!

Top video mate. Keep them coming. Cheers.

Thanks mate great tip and advice thumbs up!

I loved watching this video. Alot of good knowledge. Thanks mate I learnt alot.

This is great! I'm from Perth so know all of these places. Love to take my ranger down or the missus Subaru sports, feel a bit more confident!

Thanks mate - you make really good vids - your personality, experience and presentation make you ideal for this platform. Stick with it !!! I can see you getting to 1M subscribers :)

Awesome video. I am going to hit the sand dunes next week for the first time so it is great to have your tips under my belt 👍😄

Excellent and thanks for answering my off topic question in your last video! I’m utterly amazed that you did all that with road tyres on! You’re a star and my “go to man” for all things 4WD. Cheers.

Video been out for 3 minutes.. and is 30 minutes long and people are already saying it helped them.

Great vid! I wish I had seen that when I was your age. I started out with a clunking "Datsun" Patrol, zero torque and weighed like a tank (3 speed gearbox). That was my baptism of fire. I got bogged so many times on Fraser it was a joke even with deflated tyres. But I learned. My trusted island hopper now is a Suzuki xl-7. with a 2 inch lift, higher wall tyres, and 12 psi, it is unstoppable. I think every time I go to Moreton or Fraser, "should I bring the Maxtracks or not?" I still bring them. Everything you said is great and vital to new players. Well done and keep up the good work. Love your enthusiasm. BTW, I bought that cage climbing device from your other video....excellent!

Beginners definitely won’t be hard pressed to find these type of videos on RU-vid, there’s bloody heaps!

Thanks for such a terrific video Hittn the sand for first time in april Ur tips huge help i took notes n stored them in notes on phone so i reflect on them Love the motto too ‘Seek advemture’

Thank you very much mate. Your video is of incredible help. You are awesome man.

Great video. My son is learning to 4x4 and has subscribed to your channel.

This is one of the most informative video's I have seen, thanks mate, well done.

Love this video. Thanks for the tips.

Great video. Very informative. I feel more confident hitting the beach.

Great video. Thanks mate. You seem a top bloke!

I dont say this offten, but love your videos! Very useful. I've done my first beach trip on my first 4WD (before watching your vid) everything went well, but I would have done more things if I have watched it. Will be waiting for more vids like this in other terrain.

Love your videos mate.

Just stumbled onto your channel and really enjoyed it. I've liked, subbed and all that. I've just watched a lot of "Inskip" videos and learned nearly all the things NOT to do. I'm thinking about getting back into it in my retirement now. I had forgotten how much fun it was. Hoping to get a Colorado.

thanks for sharing some great info Michael.

Awesome video buddy well explained and good tips,and it’s all about tyre pressure,now I know what to do and how to get out in a sticky situation on the beach Thanks mate

You are awesome love your videos! I am in Dubai and just bought my first 4WD F150 XLT. Driving in the desert tomorrow

Beautiful location, great drone shots, very reassuring as i go to the beach for the first time tomorrow! Thanks

Another awesome presentations Michael...good sound advise presented in a manner we can all relate to..so much better than some of the other seasoned campaigners who are always flogging their sponsors...you're a natural man thanks for the good work👍👍

This is great. Very useful information and great presentation. Very enjoyable. Most helpful 4x4 site I have found so far. Thanks. Keith

I got a lot from this ,great video thanks.

Been driving beaches for a few years now, never been bogged.. Touch wood.. But still watched your video, cause they are awesome! Hey if your ever in Brisbane would love to go for a wheel..

Awesome mate! Thank you for the video!

Great Tutorial!! Thank you so much. Best is "it's fun!"

Miss Michael and his channel here in 2021…… great advice and enthusiasm.

Just been a month now Very excited Learning so much Bought a JL wrangler 4x4 4 door 2019

Excellent video! Thanks mate

Well, aren't you just delightful! Thanks for this video and yes, I learned a thing or two! My beach is the opposite of yours...hard pack by the water, soft further away. I'm on the central west coast of California. Again, thank you!

Good effort on the video bud. Legend.

Great videos, I stumbled across this channel after my first trip onto sand. I wish I had found it first, that way I could have followed his best tip "get out and take a photo" luckily had a mate that was able to supply me of all the photos of me getting stuck.
