    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

    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

    Or, we may never see you again, remember, common sense must prevail, Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Yep, that could be too ,,, 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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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
