    Only if you turn it upside down have your right eye open your left one closed and hold your arms in the crucifix position.

    Life is too short for cask wine!

    Leave out the high lift jack.

    I'm on a bit of a boys trip at the moment on our way for a west east crossing. We're currently in Tibooburra and should reach mount dare in a few days. I'll keep an eye out for you although we're heading over the WAA line. Not expecting any problems, have a sat phone& plenty of muscles if needed. Have a great trip & I'll hopefully give some feedback of conditions once we reach birdsville.

    that's just drinking alcohol for the sake of it...cask wine is what legitimately is not good enough for a bottle.

    99% of the time I would agree, however I have had to use mine in anger several times, most notably on the Gunbarrel Hwy, up to the sills in red clay, and 3 snatch straps + a winch extension strap were not enough to reach solid ground. Jack, pack & then drive out

    With the current conditions travelling around lake eyre & up for a west east crossing I'd say bring your high lift jack. It's wet and some rds are closed, we have been stopped at William ck for 2 days. Bring as much recovery gear as you can reasonably carry without overloading.
