Thread: VIDEO LAND ROVER STUCK IN THE STORM

As long as you are prepared to take responsibility for your own actions, have a plan to get yourself out of trouble, and know the limits of your vehicle, then why not use it like it was meant to be used. I would have not problem taking mine through that river, if I had to.

The crew seemed well prepared, had all the gear needed for a recovery and seemed to know what they are doing.

Problems come from people driving under-prepared vehicles into remote locations, with no communications and without any clue what they are doing, then expecting someone to rescue them.

They will be the same people who will be taking the local council/national park/vehicle manufacturer/ or anyone else the can in the hope of striking it rich from their own stupidity.

I'm for "Darwin's Rules", let natural selection take care of those who should not be passing on their genes, rather than protecting them from themselves and letting them multiply

its Spain, river rain swells are nothing like the big flat australia

Great video

I'm looking forward to the next instalment.

Abso-posi-lutely!

We don't know the full story. It certainly looks like a "flash flooding" type episode. Perhaps crossing that river was the only option to avoid being stranded out in the scrub?

Either way, it is good to watch videos like this. Consider it another file in your vault of knowledge, and gained without any danger to yourself or your own vehicle

Thanks for sharing.
