    Will they ever learn?

    The most basic rule about towing, winching or any activity that puts rope under load. Tragic.

    26 years old, probably brought up on " give it the berries " 4WDriving from you know where. I believe every person who purchases a real 4 WD should have a 4WD course included in the cost of purchase. Only way they will learn.
    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

    Theoretically a good idea Bob, but most fourbies change hands on the used market, both yards and private sales.

    The secondhand market might sink your suggestion Bob.... but the fundamental idea is still right..


    Somehow these newbies need training... its' scary how many have no understanding what a decent recovery point is ... or think the starting point to a recovery is lots of right boot...

    Bob, who's going to teach them?
    Most of the "experts" on the TV shows and magazines and U Tube, from what I've seen, wouldn't have a clue, the blind teaching the blind, Regards Frank.

    Yep what a complete pair of tosser`s did you notice not even wearing seatbelts
    And honestly what a bunch tool`s tow a trailer like that off road with no consideration for the environment
    No wonder why 4wdriver`s get a bad reputation with idiots like this on public Tv
