My option: you don't have friends who 4x4, and are uncomfortable in groups, so you just do it yourself. I don't crazy with advanced stuff because I am often alone out there. Moderate trails are usually the most I'll do. Especially since I don't have a spotter, and often have to get out and do my own spotting. I've learned quite a bit on my own and watching videos. The thing I have no experience with is recovery, since I haven't needed it, and hope to never need it (again with moderate trails, this seems unlikely). My biggest thing is I sometimes don't know the condition of a trail until I attempt it. And often turning around isn't feasible. I try my best to get info on a trail before doing it, but conditions can change quite a bit in the SouthWest.

#1 taking a rental down a "dirt trail"

Hey mate, can i please request a video? Can we have information on water crossings? like engine / vehicle prep, what to seal up, what to do at home before trip and what to do before entering a crossing? i couldnt find anything about this anywhere. Cheers Mate.

Went with option #6. STart out cautious, drive conservatively, and have fun on mild unpaved roads.

Would love to see a vid debating LED light bars vs traditional round lights (pros vs cons) for overlanding. Love your vids, Ronny!

[davidsweeney]

I have to say Ronney, you live up to the Dahl name, Roald would be proud of you, we absolutly enjoy your videos, thanks for making the effort, so we do not have to.... Dave

Great video Ronny. You rock. One con when driving in any group which I have missed. Dust, dust, dust! Unless you are the leader of course. Plus you probably will make only half the distance like you would make if you would by yourself. Thanks for all the tips and hints through your videos!

[Stisse]

make a video on how to choose path/track, driver over stones etc...

[chocdingdong]

Thanks for the videos Ronny, getting back into the 4wd game with a 3 door V8 early model disco project. These vids are really getting me pumped. Very thorough Ronny keep it up champ!

i have been doing your tip 6 for a number of years i tried a club but it was hard to learn with them just going way to hard on the tracks and not helping others out. this is a really good video for most to watch thank you

Hi Ronny,

love your videos - always something to learn (I didn't know my 30 year old high-lift jack was invented as early as 1905).

As someone who has been 4wd driving since 1976 (60 series SWB Nissan Patrol was my first vehicle) and always travelled solo (with my wife - and RFD radio back in the pre-UHF era) I would add another downside to "escorted tours" apart from the cost - you are stuck with people you have never met before for the duration of the tour!

Being stuck at Tibooburra in the same camping gound with an RACV travelling tour with all roads closed (after we had come down from Nappa Merrie in the wet) was excrutiating.

Planning on doing the Canning next year - and even then we are contemplating doing it solo (we have been stuck three times since 1976 where I had to rely on someone else pulling me out - old Strezlecki in the wet, Chambers Pillar, Mount Dare, Arkaroola, High country from Bulla side of Sterling, etc. etc.).

Most impressed by the couple in a Land Cruiser who quietly came into the circus at Dalhousey Springs one year (school holidays) and camped next to us - they had just come across the Simpson solo and were heading for the Canning (whilst the Land Rover club of Victoria were holding whip cracking competiitions before they struck up the courage to take their twenty vehicles (plus one Toyota support vehicle) the other way to Birdsville.

Cheers,

dp

Thank you Ronny for taking the effort to make fwdriving more fun, existing and safe. Please keep the camera rolling.

Always learn a heap Ronny watching your stuff. Im in NE Arnhem Land not a huge variety up here its either dry and dusty or wet and boggy, with the customers corrugations of course.

[michaelvanderros]

another awesome vid with a wealth of knowledge as usual.
keep up the great work ill be here waiting for the next one 🍻

[romanov]

Just rode in a convoy in CA. The convoy told me if I got stuck I gotta find my own way home. It was my first time off-roading in the snow. They drove 40mph through single lane wet mountain roads through rain and snow. I stopped following them. Stopped and enjoyed the snow, 1hr later no one came back. They weren't kidding! My truck has everything needed to off road safely but I'm not risking my life for their ego. I'll learn on my own instead.

Thanks Rhonny, keep up the good work. Cheers from Papua New Guinea
