Remember Summer? Try again or give up; that's the classic question when trail obstacles get crazy. Here the Axial Base Camp '65 Landcruiser stares down quicksand-like mud and a fun-house bridge. You win some; you lose some. Or is it the other way around, this time?
0:00 Beginning at the End with a Powdery Mud Cloud
0:40 Arriving at Glenorchy Conservation Area
1:20 Blocked by Giant Mud Hole
2:50 Can This Bridge Be Crossed?

Your videos are the absolute best RC crawler videos on CZcams!!!
Wow, thanks! What an incredible compliment. Thanks for your support, Mike.
Great footage 👏 👍 👌
Many thanks, Fortes.
If at first you don’t succeed!! Nice video.
That's right...keep trying until you make it through or destroy your truck! LOL. Also helps when you're by yourself and you don't hold up your buddies forever. Thanks for the comment and support.
Great videos. Inspirational.
Glad you like them! Wasn't sure I was going to make it over that bridge. Sometimes you gotta stop, and think about it before you just drive and crash, drive and crash. LOL. Cheers and thanks.
That opening shot was perfect. Nice video
Thanks RCLCM! For my opening shot I wanted something to remind me how summery and hot it was that day. Glad you liked it. They say you gotta stop and smell the roses, but for us you gotta stop and video the wildflowers, eh?
@@NaturallyRC True, and sometimes we have to stop and smell the mud bog
very cool man. Another great winderness run. Always enjoy seeing this trail and ALL it has to offer. great video Of Course the FJ looked great as well
Thanks 👍 Nick. I don't know about you, but I always find it more fun when a regular realistic looking truck does surprisingly hard stuff, versus a comp rig where you sort of expect it to do the impossible. Cheers!
Totally. Not sure how many times I thought.. DAMN!!! never had the camera going. When the rig does something, you thought. NO WAY. Then try again... and again... and again... Not to be able to get it with the camera on. lol If that makes sense@@NaturallyRC
That FJ is one of my favorite trucks on CZcams, nice to see some footage from last summer! That mud hole was nasty, good thing you were able to “winch” it out! 😉 I knew it would make the bridge, just had to get that perfect angle!
Thanks 👍 CC. Great comment!! This was back in the summer before the FJ got new tires. Might not have made a huge difference, but a little. Cheers.
Why does the summer feel like it was 800 days ago?
LOL. I hear you. I like winter, but I always say it just goes on too damn long. At least, so far, we've had a mild winter here in Ontario. Haven't had to get my snowblower out once. Cheers and thanks, CC.
