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

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.

When he picked up the jack I thought it was a bong 😂

Very sound and good advise - even some oldies who dont drive off road on a regular basis can learn a thing or two

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.

Thanks for the Tips, and Big Plus for encouraging people not to litter :)

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.

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

Greetings from the other WA (Washington State, USA). Love your videos, wish we could get those trucks here, keep it up!

Great video for the beginners. Thanks.

Great video, but a couple of things extra to carry, would be a couple of rated d shackles, basics tools and spare parts like fan belts and water

[unondwayzauyashinga]

Very useful an very thorough instruction. Great clips. How about one on what to check on the vehicle before you trip, likre a basis mechanics course?

[steinwaygrande]

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.

[haroldsegur]

Man, you have a lot of good information, good anywhere in the world, thankyou!

[rollyb]

you got to get four Maxtrax, they work so well

[ernestovargas]

I really love your videos!!! thanks for the info

[DanielKEUUM]

Great advice and good things to have with you

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.
