I now consider rule one to be don't drive below the high tide mark. :-)

The tide has always scared me so I've stuck to that rule even though I have never been caught.

Happy Days.

I dont paticulary like snatch straps either. I just think they put too much strain on everything. If I cant winch it or tow it with a proper tow strap with all the slack taken up then I need to start digging.

Happy Days.

A fella at work just showed me this footage, and low and behold, you guys are already all over it!!

I am still astonished.

Living in Darwin we see alot of drowned vehicles on mud flats and silly recoveries, but that footage highlights why it is always a good idea to drive within your vehicles capabilities (odds are the vehicle is more capable than the driver).

And also a good idea to stay on the safe side of your recovery capabilities.

Still astonished....

Cheers, Adam.

I agree, I started watching this show, because it is on community TV, & silly me, I thought it would be reasonably fair dinkum. Seems the 4wd Active mob have their tentacles on this too, Bob

I was just sitting at home pondering life, and something occurred to me; I recall Jamie's (like Jamie from JTS and 4wd action) defender being at British Offroad after damage caused during filming for a 4Wd action DVD.

Can anyone provide details of this? Or possibly even a link to a thread about it that I have missed?

Cheers, Adam
