I''ve only been stuck once without a convoy to help. I had the unfortunate bad luck of coming across a couple who were on their way to the Jamieson pub across the top of the mountain ( which we were stuck on) and they couldn't afford to delay their attendance at the pub so unable to help although they did offer to drive 1 of 5 of us to the nearest hut and leave that person there. To this day I'm still unclear on what that would have achieved other than separating the group and still leaving one person about 10kms away from the campsite where the rest of our vehicles were located. Thankfully a couple of blokes eventually came down the track as the sun was setting (Victorian winter...) and gave us a hand. Moral of the story. anyone who's too busy to help others on the tracks should be considered scum of the earth. Great work with your recovery and ethics. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Interesting video. I like the camper pod on the back. No need to dodge low flying ducks. Just let it idle a bit longer after its been working hard up the hill. I would also use the exhaust brake and a lower gear on the downhill. But good to see the trucks doing the hard stuff easy
Great job Sam. Its bullshit how people dont even attempt to assist. Great to see the Mog in action, but the mrs really didnt appreciate some of your line choice's lol
I think it’s time to upgrade your lights Sam. We run under deck lights on the trucks so at night you can see all the way around the truck. This helps when you need to move the truck in tight spaces.
Enjoy your videos, you really put the Unimog to the test. In my very humble opinion I get the impression, from a few of your videos, that first isn't low enough in the Mog for serious off roading? Eg today looked like you had no engine braking going downhill. Would a working group fix that?
GREAT Job Mate, Don't see anything wrong with your methods or positions?? - Not to many options in that situation. I've Been up that line a few times - But never down + Its a lot more cut out than my last time there. Big kahoonas Bro.
