    As someone that is alone in the wilderness on a regular basis I will tell you, If the sound stops or you feel scared listen to your gut. There has been multiple times I felt uneasy or the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and it turned out to be a mountain lion or a bear near me.

    You can wrap rescue tape (self amalgamating) around the leaking book at the end where the clamp is and down onto the hub, that will stop it leaking until you have it fixed. If the boots are not split it will probably be fine for some time. It's easy to do if you jack the wheel off the ground so you can spin it. Mine started weeping at about 100,000 klms and haven't seen any more leakage since using the tape, maybe 10 years ago.

    Get that CV boot fixed asap as atm its only a boot to fix, get sand in the and you will need a new cv as well
    Love how you still have the NSW plates on the cruiser

  • @Raevenswood
    @Raevenswood Před 2 lety +1

    If you are going to be overlanding, especially alone like you do, I would highly recommend getting a factory service manual for your truck and keeping a few spare parts around and a tool kit for the truck. You can change a CV axle on the trail and these are a common part to break too. Most people that are serious about going off the grid will keep a spare CV on hand along with some other common parts like tie rod ends etc... torn boots is not the worst thing but it will wear out the CV's fast once dirt mixes with the grease and acts like sand paper. Once that happens your hopes of just replacing the boots are gone and it moves to buying brand new axles. Most of the time they just replace the whole unit anyway now though. It's actually a lot easier to work on your vehicle than you think especially following the factory service manual which lays everything out in steps.

    Dear lady i want to first tell you thank you for not just sharing your trips and adventures but also your thoughts and your mind..... Its not that you're running from responsibility but you're getting away to find you're peace and happiness.... There is so many people in this world that is lost cause they are scared to be their honest self so they wear mask to avoid judgment by others but yet we can be anyone in the world except ourselves but you and a few other souls in this world know how to be themselves..... The lack of cell signal allows you to break free from the world drama..... Enjoy the moments you spend away from people give you time to have deep thoughts with no interference.... Thank you for those moments where you share your thoughts..... You're amazing and never stop being you..... God bless and please be safe and careful out there

    • @heyokaspirit3846

You already know that so many say one thing but do something else and it leaves you confused or feeling like you're off but so many act to impress and try to appear as something they are not...... So many try to be perfect but forget to just be honest...... Nature don't lie if you hear a mountain lion roar your not going to see a flamingo walk out of the bushes lol you feel people every and it gets overwhelming so yes get away and find your peaceful refuge away from civilization...... That's not wrong cause you always take us with you lol

    Loons calling to one another across the vast expanse of water yet in the dead of night , sound so eerie, you think "what the hell" but it is their backyard so get used to it and stop being such a scared cat. They are just bigger than a duck with a stabbing pointed bill/beak for catching their prey underwater.

    That you are out there by yourself is … not recommended. Wildlife is one thing, but it is the human kind that can be concerning and unpredictable. And if such a bad element shows up, it means he has been eyeing you for a long while already. Think about adding a travel mate. Stay safe
