    Tkx guys, really appreciate your (and other) efforts to share personal experiences for this trip, It all goes into my notes for when I'm able to do it 👍 Hey others have mentioned "Scrubby Creek is a couple km after start of the Nth OTT, is deep and brown but has a bypass on RHS". Was it a non-event or did you have a little nap? 😆

    • @searching4adventure
      @searching4adventure  Před rokem

      Hi mate. Any basic recovery kit will be fine. Regarding spares, I only take a belt and spare air filter. I’m not one of those guys who has a comprehensive stock of everything. Just make sure your vehicle has been serviced and looked at prior to your trip. You’ll have a blast. It’s awesome up there.

    A very well presented video Marcus - particularly the summary of each of the creek crossings. We've written down your advice for each one and will take it on our July trip to the Cape. You went through a lot of water but only bonnet deep stuff a few times. I have a y62 and don't want to ruin its looks with a snorkel - for those momentary deep bits, would I get away with using a poly tarp strung across the front of the car? Thanks.

    • @searching4adventure
      @searching4adventure  Před 3 měsíci

      Hi mate. I wouldn’t risk it personally. I have seen 4WDs do the OTT without one, but I’d certainly not recommend it. I’m no expert but the risk could cost you a lot. Good luck, have fun and glad you got something out of my video. Cheers. Marcus.

      @@searching4adventure haha love it! to be fair I did the OTT with a bullbar but without a winch. I luckily didn't need one but completely agree that it should be essential.
      This was a great video. Diff breathers are an underrated mod. For first timers, extra care should be taken to ensure air intake hoses and filter box are sealed to stop dust and water ingress.
