This series is easily your best. Absolutely gripping... great work Ronny and Torbs!
Amazing trip Ronny.. as a photographer/camerman myself I'd just like to give a big "hats off" to the camera crew too who carried on filming through all the trials. Thank you for bringing us with you.!
seconded. Great shots also!
Torbs looked utterly defeated in that water before big red. Genuinely feeling for him there
Temporary repairs
That is not a problem at all Ronny. You just need to think laterally. 3 left turns = 1 right turn. No problem! Happy to help
I love re-watching this series, especially the recovery process of Torben and how he battles to the end with an injured truck.
wow Ronny what a very hard 3 days, torbs was very lucky on the first bogging when the vechile jumped up and crossed the ruts. i thought he was going to role over. great to see the amazing team work to help all out. well done
Wow, that looked grueling. Torbs was a real trooper - looks like a hard and expensive trip. Great content for me to watch in the comfort of my own home...
I can't imagine the feeling of getting 2 cars stuck second night in a row, electrical fire in the one with only 2WD, less than 100k's fuel left...that was epic guys my hat is off to you.
Great teamwork and support for each other. Well done guys. Loved the series.
Might have a hard time convincing your friend to go four wheeling with you again Ronnie !
Nah that’s his right hand man, that’s his bud.
The trips I remember the best years later are the more miserable ones. And they’re the ones the others still talk about the most and laugh about.
@@JeffBarnhart Yeah man... Often the toughest trips are the ones with the best stories.
aaah u know getting stuck and figuring a way out is as much fun as a successful rock climb ... so honestly I don't know what the fuss is all about ... and getting stuck with 3 wheel drive is to be expected...
Great episode guys, what a drama. I think its worth having a look at some old Malcom Douglas shows. In particular Malcolm Douglas - Australia - One Wet Season (1984). Compared to modern vehicle setups, 4WD and camping techniques, Malcolm Douglas is far superior in every aspect. Vehicle is lighter, simpler to fix, less electronics to go wrong. Recovery in situations worse than yours was achievable with less. Malcolms ability to catch and cook meant it didn't matter how long he was in the bush he could feed himself and survive.
I really think in this modern day and age we have lost the old skills which in my opinion are far superior. This all due to the heavy reliance on technology and at the heart of it consumerism.
@Simon Franklin wouldn't make for good drama if they said it's rained so we're just going to camp out for 3 or 4 days until it dries out enough that we can carry on without ripping the tracks up.
@Simon Franklin
It’s just made up drama.
Agree. The car that caught fire is owned by an electrician....... I'm not an electrician, my Patrol has wires added for stuff, and I crossed the Simpson early September this year. Nothing caught fire, no tyres blew off the rims, did not get bogged despite plenty of mud sections. And I drove the big red lake obeying the sign which said "go straight on one track" and did not get bogged.
The perfect example of how 'NOT' to cross a wet clay pan. A good action packed video all the same. Momentum can be sustained without the wheel spinning, fish tailing, kangaroo hopping antics. But, ten out of ten for the effort. Final thought " He is definitely, positively not borrowing my 4wd " loved the videos... thanks. Stay safe.
Can you please do a in depth video of torbens electrical fire why it happened and how to prevent that from happening.Thank you and great video.
I did this and similar trips in 1963 & 4 with an International 4 wheel drive 1 ton pickup, not nearly as well equipped or powerful as your vehicles and only with ONE vehicle. Our saving grace was front and rear winches with a large 'spade' type anchor which allowed us to pull ourselves out of the worst holes. Without that anchor even with 2 vehicles I think we would still be there -- well our bones might be--.Well done guys, brought back many memories.
Hardship will either make, or break a man. Well done guys. Epic series. 👍
Great stuff Ronny and Torbs. You really had a blast. I liked the uncertainties and tension. Most gripping experience ever.
Crikey what a massive full on trip. It was pretty obvious you blokes were over it. That crossing was a real eye opener.
Thanks for sharing
Tough few days at the office Ronnie, you lucky to have Torbs as a mate what an awesome adventure.
Theres an old saying in aviation-
Aviate, Navigate then Communicate. Should of concentrated and stayed off the two way going over that salt flat
Nothing worse than doing recoveries at night after driving all day. You don't know what exhaustion is until you've done this.
Nice series enjoyed it a lot. This was a real adventure. Having a spare cv agree with you in not taking one as a plan can be made to stay mobile. Great work guys and lets not forget the camera crew.
Amazing vid! 👌 Thanx! Keeping moral in these kind of situations is key! It never helps starting to act defeatist only spreads bad mojo in your crew. Decide on a game plan and work together. Great job guys! 💪👋
Most epic adventure yet. You could tell this story a million times and everyone would still be listening. Great sharing your adventure on your channel. You all are living your best life, but I also understand to do this requires personal/family sacrifices. Would love to catch up one day and flap gums over a few frothies or JDs. I love how your passion has turned into a career. Very envious, no jealous. Enjoy every moment good or bad. Life is way to short. Big hugs 😃
Great series of videos Ronny, can't wait for the next instalment! Loving all your extended trip series, kimberley, pilbara, cross country and interstate, keep up the great work.
What was one hell of a series, totally captivating.
Such a good series... We also experienced some of these conditions... No breakages fortunately...
My wife and I were travelling the outback during the same time (Around the week of the Birdsville Races) , we experienced really wet / muddy from North of Cameron's Corner to Innamincka (only the Qld side of the border was open that day), then later on from Terowie SA (near Peterburough) through -via Lillydale Rd to the Silver City Hwy - Very wet , boggy tracks through station country... (The only way we could find along "public tracks" from Port Augusta to NSW without using the paved highways.)
Coming back into NSW, EVERY dirt road in the state's west was closed - just like the Birdsville Track had been - when we were in Marree.
This episode and the last 2 is by far the best the best yet bloody enjoyed them hope too see a part 4 unreal work guys loving the content cheers for sharing
True. Amazing trip. Like watching a thriller movie. Gripping stuff. Well done so far. You all must have balls of steel. Excellent video footage from the cameraman. This type of action with a great team. Thanks for sharing.
what a awesome trip / mission guys .... lol at Torbs spars wheels come off omg ... luving it what a awesome view with the drone as well ....big thumbs up
Hey Ronny, that’s a 4wd adventure for ya. Wish we could see how you guys got to the end but it’s good you guys made it and heading back. It becomes a wild adventure when things don’t goes as plan like a movie which I love about Australia off-road channels. Looking forward to the next adventures and how they play out. 👏🤙
Lighter is better, simpler is better, slower is better. If you are going to go fast, go heavy, and go with more electrical gear, you better make sure you are low neurotic, or bring plenty of beta blockers.
Just goes to show how much damage you can do when you go too fast. Good to watch though!
@@wilso7235 A few times on Fraser Island I’ve seen idiots doing over 100kph on the beach only to sail over a small creek crossing and hit a hidden bit of driftwood which has cactused their front suspension.
@@wilso7235 nothing but a weak driveline is the cause here
Darren Boxhall, don’t forget these vehicles are massively overloaded and are really being hammered by their drivers.
How did someone with so much "experience" just go full send and break so much stuff. Did torbs forget his brain before that crossing?
Thats why its very important to not just prepare your vehicle when you do touring in remote area,you also need to prepare a lot of mental strength when things went south..thanks roni,love these adventure videos..its another level
Fantastic episode, earnt the experience points in that trip, looking forward to the next episode
Great series Ronny, Torbs, and camera crew.
Awesome , epic adventure 🤙
You guys are TOPS 💯
Well done over the salts , hats off to TORBS 🏁GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 👏 👍
Awesome series Ronny. Great to see @Reconadventures Chris getting out on the road with the crew. Tell him to bring the FJ on the next trip!
I live on the edge of the Simpson Desert in a community called Santa Teresa. The last few months have been super unpredictable. We had three straight weeks of drizzle and rain with nothing at all on the radar or the weather forecast. We’ve had a few other random downpours which turned the ground to mush with no prediction on the BOM. Makes the Simmo way gnarlier if you can’t rely on the forecast. Well done getting out!!! Wow!
Great job on keeping your team together it can get very stressful why it all goes to poo well done you blokes👍🍻🍺
Epic episode guys I'm just glad you got to Birdsville I hope you had a well deserved beer 🍻 or two cheers legends ☺️
That was wicked gents. Also very well done on being prepared. As we have seen, shit happens and you need to be prepared for it.
Let's go for wheel driving! It'll be fun! Ha ha man great video guys, not that I like to see people struggling but you really pushed through.
More info on why spare wheels fell off please. Things like that should not be swept under the carpet.
Marty from Perth
Lots to chat about will be doing a follow up
I would love to see a follow up of things you learned and noticed driving through all that mud.
I had a similar experience in Mozambique where it rained for 4days almost non stop, but the family didn't feel safe driving, so we stayed put till the trails got better
Great instructional video on what NOT to do in every situation possible .
same as 24/7,,do the opposite..
Wow what an adventure and a shit storm, just think in two years time the stories you will be reliving on the trip. It was good to be watching it.
in 2 years time his ruts will still be in that salt lake..
Seems like the Prado is the most reliable of the lot...
Would definitely be the lightest of the lot
OMG what a trip , hat's off to everyone, maybe next time send the drone up to inspect the track first 😳 to get an advantage, hope all is well now, great vid guys 👍👍👍
In a serious situation I can't help but laugh at "he can't turn right...which is obviously a problem" haha put that on a shirt
"I'm cactus" 💀💀💀
This is one sick adventure.
great episode Ronney cant wait for the next one
What an expirience. I drive cv in peaces with me had similar problem a long time ago. Since than as many parts as posible.
Cheers. 🍻
Love to see the final car washing video post all this. Stout effort for sure
Good add for Prado
Best series yet
Serious offroad trip! The weight of these vehicles is really a disadvantage here.
Really excellent filming and editing !!
Really enjoyed the series!
Definitely a rough trip, still beats a day at work. Nice to see a "less glamorous" video.
This episode had it all!
@10:08 theres a perfect chicken track on the left, why oh why did ronnie drive through the middle? unless its for content, in that case good one
Wow. What an adventure!!
Coming up to big red there is a sign saying you must stick to one track only, the one that goes straight through. Both of you ignored that and strangely enough got bogged. The straight through track is deep but has a solid base.
Absolutely
Except for when it's completely underwater and likely unpassable
Also why didn't they go around and over little red?
@@joshlower1 If the straight track that you are instructed to use is underwater and impassable, then you don't pass - or is that too hard to grasp? In that case, trying to cross beside the main track is even worse, apart from being irresponsible and disrespectful.
@@owenscott4145 No content doing that :)
This i want! Adventure! Good luck gents!
Great meeting u & torbs yesterday at the Adelaide 4wd show.
Thank god for the camera car…that’s what bear gryl’s used to say !
I certainly would always have a CV doing what you guys do and both having the same vehicle. Share different parts each.
It’s going to be hard traveling with this rain but you guys will make it see you at the show
Plenty of great drama for vids to be found in the soggy desert.
You guys looked shattered!
That is what adventure is all about, go well for the rest of fhe trip.
Excellent !
damn grueling trip, but man, what a show! Awesome!!
Are we there yet? Epic!
Adventure, an unusual and exciting or daring experience. Your never going to forget this one.
Great trip !
Oh man torbs is in for it, we’ve all been situations like that where nothing seems to go your way, one after the other. Oh well, those always make for the best memories and funniest stories to tell your mates after all the frustrations have been dealt woth
This adventure became too crazy mate!!
Such an awesome video mate. Such awesome three videos.
Absolutely loving this man.
Amazing journey, mouth watering mate.
this is the best 4x4 show ,
Am a fan of man and machine. This is awesome
The drama made the series! I know it was tough going but it made for good viewing 🙂
Loving your videos man.from 🇰🇪
Obviously lots of trials and tribulations, but it did make for some great (very well filled and edited) content. Keen to hear what causes Torbs’ electrical issues.
Tom cruise, the famous outback truckie once did a clutch in the middle of the desert, he made a new clutch out of a 44 gallon drum.
meanwhile I'm just watching this to get a better idea of what I need for some light over landing and camping...Australians are great!
I guess the CV was broken because the car is running tires above in size that factory spec.
Had the same issues back in 2016 got stuck at Innamincka for 3 days the fun of 4 wheeling
I was out there last week. I did the Connie Sue hwy to Neale's Corner then the Anne Beadell to Coober Pedy.
The track to Dalhousie Springs was just reopened.
I did the French line to the Colson track crossroad and camped there.
Next morning went to start the rig, only 10 volts in the battery!
It had dropped a cell.
A jumper pack is a must have and at this point decided to go the Colson track to the Madigan line and into Alice.
Brought a new Battery. Supercheap had them on sale so that was a bonus. $180 compared to over $400 for the right battery for a Ford Ranger!
The first part of the French line was flooded everywhere but passable.
The Colson track runs between the Dunes so all hard packed sand the whole way.
One good thing about all the rain was the Wildflowers were in full bloom everywhere.
It was paradise out there and I never saw anyone for three days.
Looking forward to doing the QAA next time to Birdsville.
Fuel cost $3.10 a litre at the Pink Roadhouse.
I brought 10 litres at a cost of $30) to support the new owners of the Roadhouse but didn't need any extra fuel as I can carry 210 litres.
People were stranded at Dalhousie for three days before the road reopened according to a nice family I met at the Roadhouse.
Me and the dog did the Fink Gorge river Run to the Lasseter hwy heading back home which was stunning.
All up did 6000 klms in 12 days and man what a blast.
Australia is great country but if fuel prices get much higher it will hurt any prospects for many to afford the travel.
The lack of Wildlife out there was concerning.
Only saw 6 Kangaroos, one Dingo and two Emus.
Great series and I love your hair bro 👌
Dude, I am literally eating cashews right now
Its why i keep my vehicles very simple. No gadgets or fancy switchs. Keep It Simple!
I was reluctant to drive across those salt pans when it was dry a few years back.
Been there done that, the mud is a killer even when it dries under the car. It sets like concrete. If it rains out there I run in the opposite direction. Exhaustion of man and machine.
You’re really selling it Ronny 😂
Torb’s looked like he was about to loose it😉
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." (Martin Luther King). Well done lads - PASS!
Did I miss the bit about how/why the spare wheels fell off or how you put them back on?
Torbs lost focus trying to reach the radio before the inc happened
Epic stuff!
Wow that’s crazy, I met you at the Sydney show, I never thought that u went through such a mission to get there😮
