  • Sam and a few mates hit up the Victorian High Country in the hunt for some snow driving, after hours of winching up muddy hills and sliding all the way back down they finally found what they were after.
    Camping driving in the snow is certainly something else, a lot of people looked liked they were unprepared for the conditions.

    That looked pretty epic. Great to see young folk enjoying 4WD...when i was a lad, all those rigs hadn't been invented and what was there was expensive...

    I come from a country where that is considered very little snow... "I'm in third and getting nowhere" 3rd in snow will get you nowhere... slow and steady, low tire presures, like really low... no drifting and wheel spin (on purpose), do not shred the snow up.... you have a disadvantage that your rigs are rear end heavy...

    Great footage again, always entertaining. From someone who lives in Buxton and works in forestry from Marysville to Woods Point and beyond, I've had to shovel hot coals onto the ground under the engine bay with a tarp over the bonnet to start the old 75 series one morning while camping in that area so it looks like you got away with it.

    So this is why all the old Logtruck tracks are wrecked . All those tracks you used to be able to drive a normal car on.
    Now 90 % of the tracks in the high country are wrecked and some undrivable . Sorry just my thoughts as i remember as a kid with my father driving those tracks in his car as he Fell trees in the area .so he knew all the roads from Licola to jamison and wonangatta and mt sterling . When its wet or snowing i stay out of the high country saves wrecking the roads

      Not fully agreeing with you here. If the 'authorities' allow access, they know full well that 4WDers will drive the tracks...no matter what the conditions. So the do-gooder gets upset, calls some high level official who calls those that control access and suddenly the gates are closed.
      Kind of how local government works. One Karen cries and stuffs it for everyone. Hope you're not a Karen.

    • @ericjohnson6802
      @ericjohnson6802 Před rokem +1

      We were up there just b 4 the snowfall and the problem was the tracks had been graded and with rain they turned into a mud slide. Just about every track in the area was the same. Just a fact of life...graded n rain or snow leads to muddy tracks.

    • @ericjohnson6802
      @ericjohnson6802 Před rokem +1

      At Dargo we spoke with the local Park track manager and she was naturally a bit precious about some tracks. Some newly graded tracks are closed until they consolidate but they can't close them all after grading. They have a big budget n lots of gear. The Govt sees track maintenance not just for fire access but also for regional tourism...food.. fuel sales etc. She even put us onto a steep ungraded track..?ewans..which was a good drive. Nice lady!
