Im not a memeber of any 4wd club because of the "its not fun unless we break something" attitude.
What happend to just exploring?, look before you leap?, close the gate? and "leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but photographs"?
Same issue with my young bloke.
I always remind him when i'm called to drag the remains of his vehicle home.

I can't watch the vary majority of those shows as they demonstrate knuckle-dragging juvenile disrespect at a high level. Climbing up and over monuments that are chained-off, smashing through tracks at maximum attack, dragging entire households with them despite travelling solo. Idiotic. What happened to a swag and maybe a fridge or Esky? Seems to be all about the toys and tearing up tracks whilst travelling as fast as possible. If anyone can recommend shows that are sensible, please advise as I'd watch those. I love seeing the places they go but can't abide the way they do it. But I guess that's ratings for you, and the almighty sponsorship dollar...

You could try Youtube channels like Ronny Dahl's, YouTube
He showcases a lot of places as well as gear.

The Low Range series is very entertaining for the touring minded as well.

Actually I don't mind watching ASPW although I filter out a lot of his advice and opinions....

agreed

mushrooms must be sprouting......

I see Roothy is coming back to join Glenn Hadden and Kenny on Low Range - which will be now called Dustemup.

I also see that 4wdaction is now longer in print - only on social media now - youtube, facebook, etc

I've always wondered who pays for all the 4wdaction fuel bills, vehicle maintenance/repairs etc and what salary Graham Cahill and Shawn Whale are on? Surely sponsership can not cover all that.

Then, who pays the expenses for anyone else that tags along on "epic" trips?

4wd Action cops a lot of flack for airing tough tracks which then get pounded by wanna be's. They effectively make money by finding and beating up tracks some of which then get closed or restricted due to over abuse. Just wish people would stop telling them where these tracks are😐

How many times can you watch Shauno crouch over the wheel and nearly fall over due to crap driving technique ☺
