All4adventure part 2 recovery fail

[joel0407]

What's with these guys changing the story why they crossed the mud flat.

4x4 Recovery Goes Seriously Wrong PART 2 - What Happens Next? - YouTube

[joel0407]

In Part one, they'd been through in the buggies and decided to go further with the vehicles.

In Part two. They're on the way back and go through a second time because they missed it on the camera the first time.

[V8Ian]

Dopey idiots.

[Judo]

It does seem like a different story to part #1, however you can clearly see lots of vehicle tracks where he got stuck. So it does appear he's telling the truth - they had been through there a few times already.

Yep. Part 2 seams like the real story. Part was was fiction for the sake of TV. I wasn't even a good story though. The first time I though they were more stupid than the second.

At least this time they've been honest and said we were doing it for the camera. Happy days. They are making a TV series. It's to be expected.

The first time I thought what idiot goes driving around on tidal mud flats.

Happy Days

[Blknight.aus]

Im confused...

they had enough line and to recover the second vehicle while It was still stnatchied up to the first vehicle...

why not just keep winching to see if that worked or flip the recovery vehicle around anchor it back and then use the winch....

why add the third snatch strap? reposition and pull on the better ground?

mind you, they achieved the second best possible outcome.

No-one got hurt.

Natural selection at its best. Proof that God disproves of idiots and toyotas.

Lucky boys. Lucky the winch pulled the rolled vehicle over.

Not a clever comment. Have a think about what your actually saying.

I've been in similar situations where fear sets in and you don't always make the right decisions.

At least their having a crack they could have edited it out.

Loved it, great drama!

[HarryO]

Great watching someone else make all the stuff ups i normally make..:wasntme:

[cewilson]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Good on them for actually showing it in the first place.

[slug_burner]

They are out there and getting paid for it. Not sure that idiot is the right description.

Bit of drama sells.

Hang on. Natural selection. My wife tells me I'm and idiot and I'd love to be paid to tour around the bush. Could have selected me.

I just don't like how they changed the story. I'm all for seeing some stuff ups and I know they would have been stressing a bit and not really thinking very well but why lie. The real story is fine.

Happy Days.

I would not get myself into that sort of situation in the first place.
They were tempting fate going over the mud flat once but no.. Had to do it again because the camera missed it. But yes, they did well in such a situation.

[Chops]

I must say, I reckon it's a good watch. I watched the first series with enthusiasm as well, and enjoyed seeing where they went.

Like all the other shows, it seems to be one big advert for Toyo and TJM, but the scenery is amazing. I guess this is what real adventure is all about, and although I haven't watched yesterday's shows in they're entirety yet,, I did wake up as they tipped the car over,, I'm thinking that yes, in the heat of the moment, mistakes can be made. Whether it's pushing your luck to do one more crossing, or trying to get a better line, albeit on the wrong angle.

Just wish the shows were longer. Can't wait to get up that way myself.

From 'The Telegraph' (UK) Saturday, 25/01/14 (that's today, our time).
"Former Canadian defence minister: 'Aliens among us'
Former Canadian Defence minister Paul Hellyer says there are at least 80 different species of aliens, some of whom are already living among us on Earth."

The big question I have is why doesn't Simon have a navel? I think he either is an alien or has been cloned by aliens to spy on us. Is he scouting landing zones or habitats suitable for colonization? This show has many questions that need answering.

:Rolling::Rolling:
I cant believe you've looked at his body that hard to notice that,,, just sayin,,,

[discoverybob]

These guys are very lucky having all their sponsors to enable them to produce these shows. it does show that those Toyotas are powerfull with the v8 turbo diesel engines and front and rear diff locks and well built to withstand the punishment that they are subjected to. In the heat of the moment, mistakes were made, but they were able to recover themselves safely and without too much damage done to the vehicles, thus enabling them to continue on their journey.It was good drama. A good lesson to learn also, that is, if these blokes can make a mistake(for whatever reason) like that,imagine what us mere mortals could do.:cool:

[999]

I can't believe the self righteous comments in here. There should be more Australian shows like this.
Have people become so conditioned that they label anyone getting out there taking risks an idiot.

Are we just a country of softcocks?

Entertainment

When people make shows for the entertainment of others, they will sometimes push the boundaries. would you be excited about watching some guys tow a boat on a sealed tar road and launch it form a boat ramp. It would not have the same entertainmnet value and would quickly lose audience support. Most likely, never to be aired again.

Part one was surely a 'teaser' to encourage you to watch the show. It was great that they posted up the full story and we got to see the real events un-fold.

Some of us like adventure more than others
Some of us make mistakes and hopefully learn from those mistakes and
Some of us actually get to teach others from the mistakes that we and others have made and are wiling to share those mistakes

I say thank you to these guys, not only for the entertainment but also for the learning experience, even if it is only 'what not to do'.

The very fact that they are out there with the sponsors, putting their vehicles to the test in what some of us may refer to as 'extreme' conditions, allows the sponsors to fine tune their products to work for the average joe. We can also see the benefits of fitting certain 'aftermarket' accessories to our vehicles. without these guys, you may not even be aware of the fact that you can 'right' your vehicle with your winch or that you can join four 'snatch straps' together, or that your 'scrub bars' may protect your vehicle from expensive damage in a 'roll-over' scenario. All things that the average joe may never subject his vehicle or equipment to.

They say that 'experience' counts. Well you can have five years worth of driving around and only ever gain five minutes of experience or you can watch these guys and in five minutes have five years worth of experience.

I would like to see more guys like this and more shows like this.

Idiots, I think not.

[FeatherWeightDriver]

I was most interested in why carrying momentum in to the crossings seemed to require a level 3 drifting certificate. :mad:

Rollover waiting to happen well before the recovery "incident".

And critics. The reason why I stopped posting about a trailer build I was doing on here.

I was enjoying your trailer thread......

[Homestar]

Yeah, they admitted they did a dumb thing, and got out to tell the tale. Not sure who would have believed the sequence of events if the cameras hadn't been there.

Thought that was an ok watch. :)

Totally agree

I was watching them winch the truck out after they got it back on its wheels and could not understand why they did not attach the truck on the back and keep winching both up onto the grass.

[Reads90]

One of the big problems with these two trucks is the weight of them

They were well over loaded.

The one towing the trailer was said to be 6 ton in total with the trailer and then later they said the car was 4 ton on its own.

Also too much high weight in them too.


I live in Cleveland watch all year round and more so on holiday weekends idiots with roof racks loaded up to the hilt going over to straddie.

Oh yeah lots of weight on the roof , then lower the tyre pressures and then go playing in the sand. Not going to end well.

[Chops]

The question has to be, would you go where they went. Sometimes common sense must prevail. Would you? Bob

Absolutely,, especially with the backing they've got.
But even without that, these are the adventures we're hoping to start having in about 4 years :D

Although, dont expect to see us on TV,, maybe if I can ever work out posting stuff on the net, you might see some stuff :D

Yep, that could be too :eek:,,, and unlike the boys, there'll only be myself and Leeanne with just one vehicle. So there'll be no stupid stuff, and a fair amount of planing options of either other routes or recovery situations. :)

Glad to hear that, didn't doubt it for a second , Bob Enjoy.

[Chops]

I think, all in all, all of us, given time and money, would like to do what the guys are doing. Maybe as a group, some would take chances, be they well evalueated or not.
We'd all like to think that in all circumstances we'd make the right decisions/choices, but in the heat of the moment, that doesnt always happen. And I think we've probably all been in similar situations, but maybe not to their extent.
As said previously, its a television show, and if its boring, we're not going to sit there and watch it. Thus to have some "big" moments within the show, will keep us all coming back time after time.
Having read a lot of the threads here, I think we all find stuff to critisize about all the various shows on TV.
But ultimately, we watch them. Why is that exactly?
Its because they are out there doing what we would love to be doing. So it gives us inspiration, gives us a look at what we're missing. The places we cant get to and see due to various reasons.

Keep it going boys :D

In my case? every now & again I pick up something worthwhile. You have to separate the wheat from the chaff. And realise they have to go over the top to attract viewers, it's the nature of the job, and realise most people watching will never venture off road. For real. Bob

[weeds]

I watched the whole of this episode last night.....its the first one I have watch

I reckon they do a good job and look like they are having a ball......

I also liked how they didn't push their sponsors unlike other shows.......sure the camera was position well but at least every second work wasn't mentioning the sponsors name i.e. when he was cooking he pointed out his fridge and what he does but he didn't mention waeco one and they mention how the bar work protected the rig and I am pretty sure they didn't mention TJM once

the good thing is they don't really try and hide anything, from memory they discussed crossing the mud flat and how tricky it was going to be but in the camera shot it looked like they had already tested the water (mud) the just need to move the camera a little bit

as i'm no good at down loading shows I reckon I will buy the DVD and watch all the episodes

[Chops]

It is a good show, and as you say, they don't push brands, but they're there for all to see.
I'm lucky, we get it on tv here, so I can just tape it and watch it when I get time.
They certainly go to some amazing places. I just hope I can find a way to get to some of them.

A while ago, Leeanne gave me a set of 25(?) DVD's with the Leyland's doing a lap with their daughter and SIL. It's more tour orientated around the black top, easily accessed places, and fairly informative. Another good show, but somewhat boring compared to the All For Adventure guys.

[rangietragic]

Their vehicles are grossly overloaded:o.Not a bad show though.

Other forum claim the rigs have had GVM upgrades, if this is the case the 76 is right on its limits....they say the 200 has been engineered for the set. Their website indicates the 200 weighs in at 4.2T and the 76 at 3.7 or 3.8T

[rangietragic]

Upgrades or not,still too heavy.Do they really need all that gear?

I suppose they could have a bog standard dual cab and stick to caravan parks

In what way?

[stevo68]

What channel are they on :):):)

Hey mate..they are in channel 10..can also link to them on FB (you do know what FB is...not sure with you luddites :p.

I have been watching the show for years, great show. What a great way to earn a crust. Would love to explore some of the places they do and fish some of the spots.

Don't get the wrong idea I'm not saying you are full of poo just saying I doubt there that heavy

no worries....and I was thinking they would be over the stated weight not under

[BigJon]

I wouldn't doubt it for a second. I used to drive a Troopy for work that was easily 3.7 tonnes. Plenty of room in the dual cabs to fit lots of gear.

[dobbo]

The question has to be, would you go where they went. Sometimes common sense must prevail. Would you? Bob

A life with common sense ends in the same way as a life lived? Would I go there, YEP. Want to sponsor me as much as they get and I'll pack the rods right now.
