I cannot express my gratitude enough about the educational 4wd content you create. I am from Mexico and I was looking for spanish language content but ever since I found your youtube channel I stop looking. The way you deliver the points in your videos makes easy to me to understand even though the language barrer. The modified series have given me tons of good ideas too. Thank you for making me enjoy 4wheeling much more!

Perfect tips as always Ronnie. I recently had a brutal experience in the Coorong getting bogged non-stop for hours. Was at 13psi because I had 20 inch H/T’s and was told I shouldn’t go lower. Nonsense!!. Got off the beach 6 hours later at 8psi - tires were like pancakes, but worked!

Awesome video, watched it twice as I’ve never been 4x4 on the beach before. Thanks for producing informative content for all of us

Great vid Ronny, super comprehensive and very helpful mate. Hopefully the amount of recoveries we have been doing around Australia might decrease haha! helped a bloke out the other day on the Eyre Peninsula that was very bogged in his Prado, dropped his tyres right down and he walked out, he then asked me if I could pump his tyres back up as he had no compressor and he also didn't have any beers :(

Good to hear someone talk about going below 12psi, most are afraid to go down there just keep straight take it easy and go to 8psi will make everything much easier on very soft sand

This, and part two, are the videos I've been waiting for! All the key sand driving advice concisely presented and delivered in one, or two, packages! Great 'go to' refreshers for the occasional sand driver, or newbies too! Love and appreciate your work Ronny!

First class tutorial Ronny, as always. This video should be compulsory for all new 4wd buyers.

Useful tips to help drivers on the beach. Over the years I’ve seen plenty of people driving on beaches who have had no idea about tyre pressures and the basic recovery gear needed. Well I’m off to Moreton Island next week to drive on beaches, fish and camp.

Thanks for the video Ronny, I'm new to 4wd and this video has explained alot of my questions I had before I go out on the beach. Thanks for giving me the confidence to go out and do it and learn more skills.

Fun fact: Ronny parked one vehicle at the beach then walked home to bring the other!

[coolchewschannel]

I wish I found this before I went to Pismo the first time. I still never really got stuck but there are a lot of good tips.

[jameshuggins]

I don't live anywhere near a beach but Ronnie's advice is always welcome.

[harryp]

Great content as always Ronnie. Something I reckon would be good to add is beach driving courtesy as well. Things we can do to make sure everyone has a nice day on the beach.

Thank you, this will be super usefull on my local tracks! I use wood planks with my Disco 1, but will buy those maxtracks. All of the other stuff I can confirm, must have. At least the spade and compresor (some of the cheap ones can serve as a deflector as well).
Also, some situations on low gear I find that it is good to go on a higher gear if you have the torque available, ie diesel, less wheel spin.
Great content, thank you Ronny!

[chandulaherath]

Great video Ronnie! Gonna help me a lot as a beginner for 4WD. Keep it up. Cheers

[dumasbagofhammers]

Fantastic video. Learned a lot. Thank you!

[arsenalsoccer]

I wish I watched this video a few hours ago before driving my new Jeep on the beach. I would’ve been a lot less stressed! Thank you for this content, it is so helpful!

Great vid well done, however tip 7 parking on the beach, depending where your from, rules may be different,
You should park on the soft sand facing up towards the dunes or down towards the water, this way for on coming vehicles it is very clear you are parked and they will slow to check for people walking around.

[stevejackson]

Great vid Ronny, my wife doing sand driving courses in 2 weeks. She is not confident on the beach. Showed her your video and now she has a good idea of what to expect and is looking forward to it👍

Good tips and thanks from us all that pull others out many times mainly due to tyre pressures, but.... you need to talk about traction controls on most new 4wds these days. Traction controls working well in high range may bring you undone, maybe talk about Power mode manual and eco mode as most 4wds are auto, also the infamous long press of the traction control button. Maybe a whole video on this one Ronnie.
